https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20mesh | Data mesh is a sociotechnical approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-serve design (in a software development perspective), and borrows Eric Evans’ theory of domain-driven design and Manuel Pais’ and Matthew Skelton’s theory of team topologies. Data mesh mainly concerns itself with the data itself, taking the data lake and the pipelines as a secondary concern. The main proposition is scaling analytical data by domain-oriented decentralization. With data mesh, the responsibility for analytical data is shifted from the central data team to the domain teams, supported by a data platform team that provides a domain-agnostic data platform.
History
The term data mesh was first defined by Zhamak Dehghani in 2019 while she was working as a principal consultant at the technology company Thoughtworks. Dehghani introduced the term in 2019 and then provided greater detail on its principles and logical architecture throughout 2020. The process was predicted to be a “big contender” for companies in 2022. Data meshes have been implemented by companies such as Zalando, Netflix, Intuit, VistaPrint, PayPal and others.
In 2022, Dehghani left Thoughtworks to found Nextdata Technologies to focus on decentralized data.
Principles
Data mesh is based on four core principles:
Domain ownership
Data as a product'''
Self-serve data platform
Federated computational governance
In addition to these principles, Dehghani writes that the data products created by each domain team should be discoverable, addressable, trustworthy, possess self-describing semantics and syntax, be interoperable, secure, and governed by global standards and access controls. In other words, the data should be treated as a product that is ready to use and reliable.
Data mesh in practice
After its introduction in 2019 multiple companies started to implement a data mesh and share their experiences. Challenges (C) and best practices (BP) for practitioners, include:
C1. Federated data governance Companies report difficulties to adopt a federated governance structure for activities and processes that were previously centrally owned and enforced. This is especially true for security, privacy, and regulatory topics.
C2. Responsibility shift In data mesh individuals within domains are end-to-end responsible for data products. This new responsibility can be challenging, because it is rarely compensated and usually benefits other domains.
C3. Comprehension Research has shown a severe lack of comprehension for the data mesh paradigm among employees of companies implementing a data mesh.
BP1. Cross-domain unit Addressing C1, organizations should introduce a cross-domain steering unit responsible for strategic planning, use case prioritization, and the enforcement of specific governance rules—especially concerning security, regulatory, and privacy-related topics. Nevertheless, a cross-domain steering unit can only complement and support the federa |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias%20Schubert | Mathias Michael Schubert (born 19 October 1966) is a German physicist, J. A. Woollam Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and member of the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience. He is a specialist in spectroscopic ellipsometry and has contributed to the development of blue and white LED, fast processors and efficient biological and chemical sensors. He is also visiting professor at Linkoping University and Associate Editor of the journal Applied Physics Letters.
Early life and education
Schubert was born in Jena, Thuringia, Germany. He graduated high school in 1986 with vocational education as tool and die maker from the Keramische Werke in Hermsdorf, Thuringia. After military service he studied physics at the University of Leipzig until 1994. He received a fellowship from the German Merit Foundation in 1995 for his doctoral research. In 1997 after earning his PhD he moved to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he worked on infrared ellipsometry developments for characterization of semiconductors. After return to the University of Leipzig he obtained his habilitation in 2003 in experimental physics.
Research and career
In 2000, Schubert was appointed Assistant Professor (Habilitant, C1) at University of Leipzig, where he founded the Ellipsometry group. In 2005 Schubert was founding member of the German Association of Ellipsometry (Paul Drude e.V.). In 2005 Schubert was appointed associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he founded the Complex Materials Optics Network. In 2012 he became Full professor. Schubert's research focuses on broad spectral range optical characterization of organic and inorganic materials. He invented and developed spectroscopic generalized ellipsometry broadly for characterization of arbitrarily anisotropic materials. His research team invented the optical Hall effect for noncontact measurement of the charge carrier mass in semiconductor materials and thin film heterojunctions. The generalized ellipsometry concept permits analysis of optical properties of materials with all crystal classes, particularly with low symmetry such as orthorhombic, monoclininc, and triclinic. Schubert developed a general concept for modeling the optical properties of low-symmetry materials, the eigendielectric polarization model. In 2022, he demonstrated measurement of the magnetic susceptibility tensor in electron paramagnetic resonance using terahertz ellipsometry and was part of a team describing a new form of coupled phonon photon states in low-symmetry materials.

Controversy
Contestants Dean Wells and Davina Rankin were involved in a cheating scandal that blindsided their respective partners, Tracey Jewel and Ryan Gallagher. Dean and Davina had planned to write "leave" at the commitment ceremony, but instead Dean chose to stay with Tracey and deny any wrongdoing when Davina called out his lies over their affair. Dean further infuriated fans when during a "boy's night" he led a conversation on wife swapping and asking the other grooms if any of their wife's mothers were attractive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur%20A.%20Oliner | Arthur Aaron Oliner (March 5, 1921 – September 9, 2013) was an American physicist and electrical engineer, who was professor emeritus at department of electrical and computer engineering at New York University-Polytechnic. Best known for his contributions to engineering electromagnetics and antenna theory, he is regarded as a pioneer of leaky wave theory and leaky wave antennas.
Biography
Arthur Aaron Oliner was born on March 5, 1921, in Shanghai, China. He received an undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College and Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1941 and 1946 respectively, with both being in physics. In 1946, he joined Microwave Research Institute at New York University's school of engineering, then known as the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. In 1965, he went on to a sabbatical at École normale supérieure in Paris, France, under a Guggenheim Fellowship. Becoming a full professor in 1957, Oliner acted as the head of the institute's department of electrical engineering in between 1966 and 1974. In addition, he was the director of the Microwave Research Institute from 1967 until 1982. He retired from New York University in 1990. He died on September 9, 2013, in Lexington, Massachusetts. He was survived by two children, three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild; his wife Frieda, died in 2013.
Oliner was a Fellow of AAAS and a Life Fellow of IEEE. In 1991, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for his "contributions to the theory of guided electromagnetic waves and antennas." He was a recipient of the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal (2000) and Distinguished Educator Award of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, of which he was a Honorary Life Member.
During his career, Oliner was also employed as an engineering consultant for IBM, Boeing, Raytheon Technologies, Hughes Aircraft Company and Rockwell International. He was the founder of Merrimac Industries, and served on its board of directors from 1962 until its acquisition by Crane Aerospace in 2010.
Research
Oliner's research work encompassed a wide array of topics in microwave field theory, including but not limited to equivalent networks and circuits, precision measurements, leaky and surface waves on waveguides, traveling-wave antennas, phased arrays and periodic structures. He was also involved in the research of surface acoustic waveguides and integrated optics. His work with L. O. Goldstone pioneered the theory behind leaky wave antennas. Following his retirement in 1990, he was also involved in the research of striplines and microstrips. In the early 2000s, Oliner also contributed to the understanding of plasmonic phenomena within a leaky wave context.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junade%20Ali | Junade Ali is a British computer scientist known for research in cybersecurity.
Education & Regulatory Registration
Ali studied for a Master of Science degree aged 17, was awarded Chartered Engineer status at 23 and became the youngest ever Fellow of the IET at 27. He holds a PhD in cryptography.
Career
He started his research career working on the UK's Motorway Incident Detection and Automatic Signalling network and working on the maximum coverage problem in road traffic sensor placement.
Ali later worked for cybersecurity firm Cloudflare as an engineering manager where he worked on developing network diagnostic tooling, a security operations center and safety-engineered natural language processing.
In February 2018, Ali created the first Compromised Credential Checking protocol (using k-anonymity and cryptographic hashing) to anonymously verify whether a password was in a data breach without fully disclosing the searched password. This protocol was implemented as a public API and is now consumed by multiple websites and services, including password managers and browser extensions. This approach was later replicated by Google's Password Checkup feature and by Apple iOS. Ali worked with academics at Cornell University to develop new versions of the protocol known as Frequency Smoothing Bucketization (FSB) and Identifier-Based Bucketization (IDB). In March 2020, cryptographic padding was added to the protocol. Ali's research was praised in Canadian cryptographer Carlisle Adams book, Introduction to Privacy Enhancing Technologies.
Ali conducts cybersecurity research on North Korea and provides expert commentary to journalists at NK News.
In January 2022, Ali told journalists at NK News and Reuters that he had observed North Korea's internet being taken offline in a second major outage that month following a missile test, Ali told journalists that data he collected was consistent with a DDoS attack. South Korean Government officials responded by saying "we are monitoring the situation under coordination with relevant government agencies," without elaborating further. Wired journalist, Andy Greenberg, later confirmed the downtime resulted from an attack and reported that a single American hacker by the pseudonym P4x had shared evidence of his responsibility. In November 2022, news outlets reported that Ali had said that North Korea's internet was hit by the largest outages in months amid increased missile launches and other military activity, with Ali saying he'd "be surprised if this wasn’t an attack". In 2023, Ali told reporters at NK News that North Korea faced another 'total internet outage' in advance of the reported Malligyong-1 satellite launch.
Ali formerly owned a technology consultancy where his clients included cybersecurity firm Risk Ledger and engineering productivity company Haystack Analytics. In July 2021, Ali commissioned a study by Survation for Haystack Analytics which found that 83% of software developers were suffering f |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel%20Lichtman | Rachel Lichtman (born December 1, 1973) is an American visual artist, comedy writer, and filmmaker, who created the independent, retro-futuristic channel Network 77 in 2017. Network 77 featured a variety of comedy and music programming, and has been described as "funny as classic SCTV and as retro-accurate as Documentary Now!" Lichtman's style is defined by its deeply referenced pop culture humor and vintage design. In 2022, Network 77 evolved into Programme 4, a new audio/visual channel in the aesthetic of broadcast television in the 60s and 70s, premiering in early 2023.
In addition to two “programming blocks” of the Network 77 variety/sketch series, she created two episodes of the scripted comedy audio series Easy AM 66, a satire of a small town “beautiful music”-format radio broadcast. She also produced, directed and edited full length music programs such as Starpop, Musique, and Ted Leo Presents in a vintage Euro-television style.
Her work has featured notable cameos by Nick Offerman, Ted Leo, Jon Langford (The Mekons), Mitch Easter, Robyn Hitchcock, Bill Janovitz (Buffalo Tom), Pat Sansone, Jon Wurster, Joe Pernice, The Sklar Brothers, Joel Murray, and Frank Conniff.
Lichtman has directed music videos for Ted Leo, Juliana Hatfield, Buffalo Tom, Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Local H, Laura Jane Grace, The Haden Triplets and others.
Lichtman is also the co-writer and director of Yesterday, Today and TAMAR an ongoing NYC cabaret show starring Tammy Faye Starlite as fictional Israeli sensation Tamar, a character Lichtman and Starlite developed through invented European television and commercial appearances.
In 2015, Lichtman and Sarah Thyre created the Something Cool podcast, covering underappreciated female artists and comedians. As an outgrowth of her work on that podcast, she co-produced a tribute concert called Ode to Bobbie Gentry: Celebrating a Living Legend in 2018 with Tara Murtha. She also directed the unreleased documentary The Guys Who Wrote 'Em, a look into Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart who created the sound of The Monkees. Lichtman did the visual design for The Monkees' tours in 2011 and 2012 after contributing to the liner notes for the Head reissue in 2010.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles%20of%20Model%20Checking | Principles of Model Checking is a textbook on model checking, an area of computer science that automates the problem of determining if a machine meets specification requirements. It was written by Christel Baier and Joost-Pieter Katoen, and published in 2008 by MIT Press.
Synopsis
The introduction and first chapter outline the field of model checking: a model of a machine or process can be analysed to see if desirable properties hold. For instance, a vending machine might satisfy the property "the balance can never fall below €0,00". A video game might enforce the rule "if the player has 0 lives then the game ends in a loss". Both the vending machine and video game can be modelled as transition systems. Model checking is the process of describing such requirements in mathematical language, and automating proofs that the model satisfies the requirements, or discovery of counterexamples if the model is faulty.
The second chapter focuses on creating an appropriate model for concurrent systems, where multiple parts of an algorithm (set of instructions) can be carried out simultaneously by different machines or parts of a machine.
Chapters 3 explores types of rules that a transition system may satisfy: linear time properties. A safety property, such as "no deadlock states are possible", is of the form "an undesirable outcome can never occur". A liveness property, such as "a shared resource will always eventually be made available to a component that requests it", is of the form "a desirable outcome will eventually happen". Fairness properties such as "a traffic light never stops changing colour" can be used as preconditions i.e. assumptions from which other properties can be deduced.
The fourth chapter is about regular and ω-regular language properties, and theoretical machines such as Büchi automata that model the languages. It gives model-checking algorithms to verify properties or find counterexamples.
The fifth and sixth chapters explore linear temporal logic (LTL) and computation tree logic (CTL), two classes of formula that express properties. LTL encodes requirements about paths through a system, such as "every Monopoly player passes 'Go' infinitely often"; CTL encodes requirements about states in a system, such as "from any position, all players can eventually land on 'Go'". CTL* formulae, which combine the two grammars, are also defined. Algorithms for model-checking formulae in these logics are given.
The seventh chapter explores formal ways to compare transition systems, such as bisimulation; the eighth is about partial order reductions that aim to reduce the computation required to verify properties of a model. The ninth and tenth chapters are about extensions to the logics and automata previously considered, including through addition of a clock speed (timed automata) or probabilities (probabilistic automata, based on Markov chains).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara%20Lisicki | Barbara Lisicki is a British disability rights activist, comedian, and equality trainer. She is a founder of the Disabled People's Direct Action Network (DAN), an organization that engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience to raise awareness and to advocate for the rights of disabled people. She is a featured subject of the 2022 BBC docudrama Then Barbara Met Alan, and appeared in The Disabled Century on BBC2 in 1999.
Early life and education
Lisicki was raised in North London with her siblings by her mother. She has said she was expelled from a school that "was a convent run by nuns. I was rejecting the mindless discipline and religious zealotry." Lisicki began showing signs of Stills disease around age 14, and spent more than a year in a specialty hospital using a wheelchair. According to Lisicki, "we used to dump the wheelchairs in the bushes and hitchhike to the pub [...] They'd be sending out search parties and we'd be down there having a vodka and lime. I was 16." She graduated from university and completed a postgraduate teaching programme, but was unsuccessful in finding work as a teacher.

In 1988, Lisicki began her comedy career in London, performing stand-up in a cabaret. She has been described as "the first British disabled stand-up comedian". In 1989, she met Alan Holdsworth when they were both performers in the Disability Arts Cabaret. She co-founded the Tragic But Brave group with Holdsworth and Ian Stanton in the late 1980s, and they toured for years in the UK, Europe, and the United States. Holdsworth performed music under the stage name Johnny Crescendo, and she performed as Wanda Barbara.
Lisicki and Holdsworth were also active in the Disability Arts Movement, which adopted the slogan "Piss On Pity" and protested stereotypes of disabled people in advertising, films, and by charities. In 1989, Lisicki participated on the BBC discussion show Network and explained the opposition to how disabled people were portrayed, stating, "If you make a disabled person an object of charity, you're not going to see them as your equal". After ITV Studios began charity telethons, Holdsworth was asked to help organize protests against the depiction of disabled people. According to Lisicki, "These were hideous TV telethons that lasted something like 27 hours and portrayed disabled people in a manner where they should be pitied. It wasn't representative of the disabled community and was patronising." In 1990 and 1992, the Disability Arts Movement was involved in the Block Telethon protests outside of ITV Studios, with Lisicki and Holdsworth serving as organizers in 1992 for a protest that included over 1000 people blocking celebrities from entering the studio building. ITV Studios ended its telethon after 1992.
In 1993, Lisicki, Holdworth, and Sue Elsegood became founders of the Disabled People's Direct Action Network (DAN). DAN organized protests and nonviolent civil disobedience to promote the rights of disabled people, and Lisicki exp |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art%20Looting%20Investigation%20Unit | The Art Looting Investigation Unit (ALIU) was a special intelligence unit during World War II whose mission was to gather information and write reports about Nazi art looting networks. Composed of only a few handpicked men, the small unit conducted interrogations and investigations in Europe starting in 1944 and focusing mainly on Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Their mission was different from but related to that of the Monuments Men. After the war, the reports the ALIU wrote were marked secret and forgotten for many years until the late 1990s when they began to be declassified . The reports remain an important source for research into the history of the origin of works of art (provenance research) and for the restitution of looted art from the Nazi era.
Creation of the ALIU
Justice Owen J. Roberts, who was chairman of the American Commission for the Protection and Salvage of Artistic and Historic Monuments in War Areas-(The Roberts Commission), initiated the creation of the ALIU to support both the Roberts Commission and the Monuments Men in the immense task of recovering and restituting artworks looted by the Nazis. . Administratively the ALIU belonged to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which was headed by Brig. Gen. William J. Donovan. It was officially authorized on November 21, 1944. Its official mission was described as follows:It will be the primary mission of the Art Looting Investigation Unit to collect and disseminate such information bearing on the looting, confiscation and transfer by the enemy of art properties in Europe, and on individuals or organizations involved in such operations or transactions, as will be of direct aid to the United States agencies empowered to effect restitution of such properties and prosecution of war criminals.The mission of the ALIU intersected with that of other intelligence and militatry organisations that tracked Nazi assets and money and asset laundering networks of the Third Reich and its client states.
ALIU members
The director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Francis Henry Taylor, was requested by the Roberts Commission to select art professionals to staff the Art Looting Investigation Unit. Taylor recruited Theodore Rousseau, S. Lane Faison, James Plaut, Charles Sawyer, and John Phillips. Otto Wittmann Jr. joined later. James S. Plaut was named director. The ALIU also worked closely with local professionals, most notably Dutch Army Intelligence officer Captain Jan Vlug, who would author the Vlug Report. Rousseau was responsible for investigating the Goering Collection. Faison was in charged of investigated Hitler's planned Fuhremuseum at Linz, Austria and Plaut investigated the Nazi looting organisation known as the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR), the Nazi looting organization.
The ALIU also helped investigate war crimes for prosecution. From June 10, 1945 until the spring of 1946, the ALIU conducted interrogations at Alt Aussee, |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FO%28.%29 | In computer science, FO(.) (a.k.a. FO-dot) is a knowledge representation language based on first-order logic (FO). It extends FO with types, aggregates (counting, summing, maximising ... over a set), arithmetic, inductive definitions, partial functions, and intensional objects.
By itself, a FO(.) knowledge base cannot be run, as it is just a "bag of information", to be used as input to various generic reasoning algorithms. Reasoning engines that use FO(.) include IDP-Z3, IDP and FOLASP. As an example, the IDP system allows generating models, answering set queries, checking entailment between two theories and checking satisfiability, among other types of inference over a FO(.) knowledge base.
FO(.) has four types of statements:
Type, function and predicate declarations,
Axioms, i.e., logic sentences about possible worlds,
Definitions that specify a unique interpretation of a defined symbol, given the interpretation of its parameters. Definitions can be inductive.
Enumerations, i.e., definitions of symbols by enumeration.
Example
A voting law specifies that citizens must be at least 18 years old to vote. Furthermore, if the voting law is interpreted as being prescriptive, voting is mandatory when you are over 18. This can be represented in FO(.) as follows:
vocabulary V {
age: () → ℤ // function declaration
prescriptive, vote: () → 𝔹 // predicate declarations
}
theory T:V {
age() < 18 ⇒ ¬vote(). // axiom: if you are less than 18, you may not vote.
prescriptive() ⇒ (age() ≥ 18 ⇒ vote()). // axiom: if prescriptive: if you are at least 18, you must vote
}
In this code, A→B indicates a function from A to B, denotes integers, denotes the booleans, ¬ denotes negation, and ⇒ denotes material conditional. Predicates < and ≥ are built-in and have their usual meaning.
Such knowledge base can be turned automatically into an Interactive Lawyer (see here)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Network%20of%20Churches | The International Network of Churches (INC), formerly Christian Outreach Centre (COC), is an Australian network of Pentecostal churches, most of them based in Queensland. It was established in 1974 what is now Citipointe Church in Brisbane. It is committed to biblical Christianity, with both the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed as its foundational beliefs.
Background
Clark Taylor was born in Queensland in 1937 and became a farmer with little formal education. After attending a Billy Graham Crusade in Brisbane in 1959, he was "born again", and in 1961 started training in Methodism. He contracted cerebral malaria in 1963, but believed himself to be miraculously healed by God in 1967, and during a service at Oxley Methodist Church in Brisbane thought he received a message from God telling him to obey James 5. Later that year he received baptism in the Holy Spirit on the prayers of an Assembly of God pastor. In January 1968, he became an assistant minister, in charge of St. Paul's Church at Upper Mount Gravatt, and undertook various other duties until his resignation from the Methodist ministry in early 1970.
After a stint with another pastor, Trevor Chandler (who had assisted Frank Houston in New Zealand and moved to Brisbane in 1972), at the Windsor Full Gospel Church, both pastors left to start Christian Life Centre Brisbane 1972. At the end of 1972, Taylor resigned from CLC (which later grew into a megachurch) and spent 18 months in travelling ministry.
History
Christian Outreach Centre was founded in 1974 in Brisbane by Pastor Clark Taylor. After 26 people had met in the Taylors’ home on 16 June, the following Sunday, 126 people took holy communion in a rented building, and in October that year the group purchased a Salvation Army property in the southern Brisbane suburb of Woolloongabba. Three years later, COC had around 1,000 members and further churches were established across Queensland.
In 1978, the organisation became involved in education, and established three schools, in Brisbane (now Citipointe Christian College), Toowoomba (now Highlands Christian College), and Nambour (Christian Outreach College (Sunshine Coast), later Suncoast Christian College, situated at the nearby town of Woombye). In 1980, Victory College in Gympie was founded. It is Gympie’s leading P-12 Co-educational Christian School, with over 700 students. Christian Heritage College, a tertiary college, was later created as a teachers' college in Brisbane in 1986. It has since expanded into five fields – Business, Education, Liberal Arts/Humanities, Social Sciences and Ministries.
By 1988 the movement had grown within Australia and spread to New Zealand and Solomon Islands. In 2009, Pastor Ashley Schmierer, based in Brighton, England, was elected as International President.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayxanber%20II | is a 1991 horizontally scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Data West for the PC Engine CD-ROM². It is the sequel to Rayxanber, which was released earlier in 1990 for the FM Towns. In the game, the player assumes the role of a fighter pilot controlling a space craft to protect Earth against an alien invasion led by the returning Zoul Empire. The title was created by Team 50, a group within Data West that previously worked on the first entry for FM Towns. The music was scored by Yasuhito Saito, who composed for the original entry and also worked on titles such as Layla and The 4th Unit series.
Rayxanber II became a success when it released in Japan but garnered mixed reception from critics, including French publications reviewing it as an import title; praise was given to the visuals, audio, controls, introduction of various innovations into its gameplay and longevity, but most noted its difficulty and criticized its presentation. Retrospective commentary have been equally mixed, some of which found it to be an improvement over its predecessor but concurred in regards to its high difficulty nature. A follow-up, Rayxanber III, was released for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM² in 1992.
Gameplay
Rayxanber II is a science fiction-themed horizontal-scrolling shooter game reminiscent of R-Type, in which the player takes control of a fighter pilot controlling a space craft to protect Earth against an alien invasion led by the returning Zoul Empire. It retains the same gameplay as its predecessor, as the player controls the ship through six increasingly difficult stages over a constantly scrolling background, populated with an assortment of alien enemy forces and obstacles, and the scenery never stops moving until a boss is reached, which must be fought in order to progress further.
There are three types of weapon units in the game the player can acquire by collecting their respective colors when dropped by carriers when shot down and alternate between each one by obtaining another weapon during gameplay, ranging from fire (red), lightning (green), and multi-directional laser (blue). Each weapon can be powered-up before they are maxed out and collecting any weapon unit also equips the ship with a set of two satellite-like options that fire at the specific direction the unit, which is constantly rotating, faces before being obtained. By holding down the attack button, the player can charge the ship's cannon to unleash a more powerful blast against enemies. The ship is also capable of performing a dash maneuver to evade incoming enemy fire or obstacles.
As with the original Rayxanber, the title employs a checkpoint system in which a downed player will start off at the beginning of the checkpoint they managed to reach before dying. Getting hit by enemy fire or colliding against solid stage obstacles will result in losing a live, as well as a penalty of decreasing the ship's firepower and loss of the weapon that was currently in use, and t |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feferman%E2%80%93Vaught%20theorem | Feferman–Vaught theorem in model theory is a theorem by Solomon Feferman and Robert Lawson Vaught that shows how to reduce, in an algorithmic way, the first-order theory of a product of first-order structures to the first-order theory of elements of the structure.
The theorem is considered as one of the standard results in model theory. The theorem extends the previous result of Andrzej Mostowski on direct products of theories.
It generalizes (to formulas with arbitrary quantifiers) the property in universal algebra that equalities (identities) carry over to direct products of algebraic structures (which is a consequence of one direction of Birkhoff's theorem).
Direct product of structures
Consider a first-order logic signature L.
The definition of product structures takes a family of L-structures for for some index set I and defines the product structure
, which is also an L-structure, with all functions and relations defined pointwise.
The definition generalizes direct product in universal algebra to relational first-order structures, which contain not only function symbols but also relation symbols.
If is a relation symbol with arguments in L and are elements of the cartesian product, we define the interpretation of in by
When is a functional relation, this definition reduces to the definition of direct product in universal algebra.
Statement of the theorem for direct products
For a first-order logic formula in signature L with free variables, and for an interpretation of the variables , we define the set of indices for which holds in
Given a first-order formula with free variables , there is an algorithm to compute its equivalent game normal form, which is a finite disjunction of mutually contradictory formulas.
The Feferman-Vaught theorem gives an algorithm that takes a first-order formula and constructs a formula that reduces the condition that holds in the product to the condition that holds in the interpretation of sets of indices:
Formula is thus a formula with free set variables, for example, in the first-order theory of Boolean algebra of sets.
Proof idea
Formula can be constructed following the structure of the starting formula . When is quantifier free then, by definition of direct product above it follows
Consequently, we can take to be the equality in the language of boolean algebra of sets (equivalently, the field of sets).
Extending the condition to quantified formulas can be viewed as a form of quantifier elimination, where quantification over product elements in is reduced to quantification over subsets of .
Generalized products
It is often of interest to consider substructure of the direct product structure. If the restriction that defines product elements that belong to the substructure can be expressed as a condition on the sets of index elements, then the results can be generalized.
An example is the substructure of product elements that are constant at all but finitely |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidens%20nudata | Bidens nudata is a species of perennial plant in the family Asteraceae commonly known as the Cape beggar's tick or Baja tickseed. This species is endemic to the Sierra de la Laguna and the Sierra de las Cacachilas of Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is characterized by a mounding habit, pinnate green leaves and large yellow daisy-like flowers. This species has found uses in horticulture as an ornamental, providing a drought-tolerant and durable plant for the garden.
Description
A fast-growing, mounding perennial up to tall covered in finely textured foliage. The leaves are oppositely-arranged, shaped imparipinnate, and evergreen. The sessile leaflets are narrow and long, with a smooth margin. The inflorescence is a corymb, topped with brilliant greenish-yellow daisy-like flowers. After the flowers have bloomed, they produce achenes. This species was described by Townshend Stith Brandegee in 1890.
Distribution
This species is endemic to the state of Baja California Sur in Mexico. It is only found in the Cape region mountains of the Sierra de la Laguna and the Sierra de Las Cacachilas. It is found growing in grasslands, meadows, and forest edges.
Uses
Available from nurseries specializing in xerophytic or Baja California plants, this species is an adaptable, durable, and drought-tolerant plant. It grows readily on a number of soils, including sand, clay, and rocky substrates. It grows in dry conditions but is tolerant of extra water, and thrives in both half-shady to full sun locations. It typically blooms in the month of November, providing flowers in a period when typically summer bloomers have gone to seed and winter bloomers have yet to open.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Text%20Adventure | Wikipedia: The Text Adventure is an indie interactive fiction browser game developed by the London-based Kevan Davis. It was released in 2017, and pulls data from Wikipedia to automatically generate a playable video game. It was praised by the media for its unique idea and retro appearance, but criticized for the emotionless, AI-generated nature of its content.
Gameplay
The game is based on classic 1980s Infocom interactive fiction titles, with similar graphics and interface, including making article pictures into "staticky pixel art".
Development
The game was originally inspired by a previous 2015 project, Around the World in X Wikipedia Articles, in which the developer programmed software to write a novel by pulling information about locations from Wikipedia articles. In creating the game, he realized that the compiler would quickly be overloaded if it tried to auto-generate a standalone adventure all at once, so he made the game generate itself as the player progressed through different choices.
Davis stated that the purpose of the game was about "players setting their own challenges, defining their own paths".
Reception
Sam Machkovech of Ars Technica called the game "a clever way to interpret the gushing fountain of data that is Wikipedia's API". Stephanie Chan of GamesBeat called it "cold and alien" when she first played and saw descriptions of the places, but said that she later realized that one could further interact with locations, such as examining things and talking to people. She stated that she thought the game's point was to show that it took an effort to make sense of any place while traveling.
Tom Sykes of PC Gamer called it a "fun new browser game", noting that the images look "convincingly 8-bit-ish".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Voice%20Generations%20%28Australian%20TV%20series%29 | The Voice Generations is an Australian singing competition television series. It premiered on the Seven Network on 31 January 2022. Based on the original The Voice of Holland.
Unlike the main series, the show features groups of at least two members coming from different generations with no age limit. Groups must have a pre-existing relationship such as families, friends, students and teachers, neighbours, and the like.
The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The coaching panel consists of Keith Urban, Guy Sebastian, Rita Ora, and Jessica Mauboy.
Production
On 16 July 2021, The Voice casting website announced the application for a new version of the show to be broadcast in 2022: The Voice: Generations, where family or friend groups consisting in singers of all ages are the ones who can apply. This is an original version of The Voice franchise, with the idea being adapted to the Lithuanian series a few weeks later. The first season is hosted by Sonia Kruger and has Jessica Mauboy, Rita Ora, Guy Sebastian and Keith Urban as coaches.
Format
The show is part of The Voice franchise and comprises three rounds: blind auditions, battle rounds, and grand finale.
Blind auditions
Four coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, create their teams of two groups through a blind audition process during the auditionee's performance. If two or more judges want the same group, the group has the final choice of coach.
Battles
Each group of singers is mentored and developed by their respective coach. In the Battles, coaches pit their two acts to go against each other in a sing-off. They all have different songs, after which the coach chooses which act will advance into the Grand Finale.
Grand finale
The final four groups compete against each other with the winner being decided by a public vote. Caitlin & Tim, from Team Rita, won the competition.
Coaches and hosts
Prior to the premiere of the show, it was announced that Urban, Ora, Mauboy, and Sebastian would serve as the coaches for the series, all of whom have served as coaches in the tenth season of the original series. Sonia Kruger, who was also in the main version, is the show's host.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNTU-LD | WNTU-LD and WNPX-LD are low-power Daystar-owned-and-operated television stations licensed to Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The stations are owned by the Daystar Television Network.
History
WNTU-LD
The Station was built and signed on by the Evansville, Indiana-based company South Central Communications, and signed on briefly under the call sign W68CG and broadcast on channel 68 before changing its call sign to W26BW in 1999 and moving to channel 26 to get better coverage at a better frequency. The station signed on as an affiliate of The Box, showing music videos 24 hours a day. The station would change its call sign again a year later on April 16, 1999, to WGAP-LP. A month later in May 1999, The Box was acquired by MTV Networks. (A division of Viacom) The Box ceased operations just over 2 and a half years later on January 1, 2001 and was replaced by MTV2, which featured a mix of set rotation and viewer request music video blocks at the time on its affiliates including WGAP-LP.
On June 11, 2006, South Central Communications announced that they would sell WGAP to Little Rock, Arkansas-based Equity Broadcasting. Equity also announced that when they purchased the station, they would make it a Univision affiliate. It would also be the third Spanish language station in Nashville (behind then Telemundo Affiliate, which was seen at the time on WSMV-TV's second digital sub-channel of 4.2 and WLLC-LP, channel 42 (which was first Telefutura, as that Network rebranded to UniMás, WLLC would regain the Univision affiliation on its main channel and move the UniMás affiliation to its second sub-channel.)) The sale was finalized on November 13, 2006, as the station changed to the New Univision affiliation the next day. A year later, the callsign was also changed to the current calls of WNTU-LP on March 20, 2007.
Due to the 2008 bankruptcy of Equity Broadcasting, WNTU was sold at auction to the Daystar Television Network on April 16, 2009, and the sale closed on July 30, 2009. Immediately after on July 31, the station switched to carrying all Daystar Programming 24 hours a day. This left Nashville without a Univision Affiliate (Univision was still seen on cable and satellite providers in the Nashville area) and with two Spanish-language outlets (Telemundo affiliate on WSMV-TV's second digital sub-channel of 4.2 and Telefutura (Now UniMás) affiliate WLLC-LP. However, WSMV-TV discontinued the Telemundo affiliation on December 31, 2010, as that would leave only WLLC-LP as the only Spanish language outlet in Nashville.) Univision made its return to the Nashville Airwaves, as WLLC-LP retained the Univision affiliation on its main sub-channel of 42.1 and moved UniMás to 42.2 and Bounce TV to 42.3.
WNTU's digital signal began broadcasting on digital UHF channel 47 in 2011. The station's digital counterpart (WNTU-LD) is operated on a construction permit in preparation of the digital television transition for low-power television stations that have not shut do |

Native Americans were not identified in the Census of 1790 through 1840 and only sporadically from 1850 until 1890 if they lived outside of Indian Territory or off reservations. Beginning with the 1900 census, Native Americans were fully enumerated along with the general population. Shaded areas of the tables indicate census years when a territory or the part of another state had not yet been admitted as a new state.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayxanber%20III | is a 1992 scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Data West for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM². It is a follow-up to Rayxanber II, which was released earlier in 1991 for the PC Engine CD-ROM², and the last entry in the Rayxanber trilogy. In the game, the player assumes the role of a fighter pilot controlling a space craft deployed into the homeworld of the Zoul Empire, in retaliation for the destruction of a mother ship from Earth. It retains the same gameplay as its predecessors, with the players fighting against an assortment of enemy forces while avoiding collision with their projectiles and other obstacles.
Rayxanber III was created by Team 50, a group within Data West responsible for the Rayxanber trilogy, with Kazuhide Nakamura reprising his role as designer. The soundtrack was scored by Yasuhito Saito, who composed for the previous games in the trilogy, and worked on titles such as Layla and The 4th Unit series. An English localization was slated to be published by Turbo Technologies, but it never materialized. The game was anticipated by Japanese players, but garnered mixed reception from critics who reviewed it as an import title. Retrospective commentary has been more positive, being considered one of the best games for the PC Engine and one of the most important shooting titles on the platform.
Gameplay
Rayxanber III is a science fiction-themed horizontal-scrolling shooter game reminiscent of R-Type, in which the player takes control of a fighter pilot controlling a space craft deployed into the homeworld of the Zoul Empire, in retaliation for the destruction of a mother ship from Earth. Gameplay is overhauled but follows the same structure as its predecessors, with the player controlling the ship through six increasingly difficult stages over a constantly scrolling background, populated with an assortment of alien enemy forces and obstacles, and the scenery never stops moving until a boss is reached, which must be fought to progress further.
There are three types of weapon units in the game the player can acquire by collecting their respective colors dropped by carriers when shot down and alternate between each one by obtaining another weapon during gameplay. Each weapon can be powered-up before they are maxed out, and collecting any weapon unit equips the ship with a set of two satellite-like options that fire at the specific direction the unit, which is constantly rotating, faces before being obtained. The ship is also capable of performing a dash maneuver to evade incoming enemy fire or obstacles. New to the series is the addition of a secondary charge attack that shoots two missiles to obliterate enemies, while double-tapping the fire button breaks them into homing missiles.
Like previous Rayxanber entries, the title employs a checkpoint system in which a downed player will start off at the beginning of the checkpoint they managed to reach before dying. Getting hit by enemy fire or colliding against solid stage |

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning and cancelled shows from the 2021–22 season. The daytime schedules for the five major networks that offer morning programming are expected to remain consistent with the prior television season.
Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are MyNetworkTV (as the programming service also does not offer daytime programs of any kind) and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns).
Fox doesn't provide network programming on weekday mornings, therefore are not included in the schedule, The CW however doesn't provide network programming on weekday and Sunday mornings, therefore are not included in the schedule. On Saturday mornings, all of the networks lease the time to outside producers to produce programming to fulfill E/I programming obligations as mandated by the FCC.
Please note that the schedules for the networks are affected by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.
Legend
Schedule
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (select shows) scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots and The CW which airs its programming block at the same time in all time zones, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Pacific (for selected shows), Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
All sporting events air live in all time zones in U.S. Eastern time, with local and/or afternoon programming by affiliates after game completion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te%20P%C5%ABnaha%20Matatini | Te Pūnaha Matatini Centre for Complex Systems and Networks (known as Te Pūnaha Matatini – 'the meeting place of many faces'), is a New Zealand Centre of Research Excellence that focusses on interpreting data about the environment, economy, and society to inform policy decision-making and public debate. Funded by the New Zealand Government, Te Pūnaha Matatini is hosted by the University of Auckland and works in partnership with other universities and organisations, including Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Te Pūnaha Matatini developed mathematical models within different scenarios and provided data to inform the response of the New Zealand Government to the pandemic. Shaun Hendy, David Hayman and Michael Plank were among the high-profile members of the organisation who regularly commented on the COVID-19 pandemic in the news media at the time. The leadership of Te Pūnaha Matatini investigators has supported the setting up of independent research programmes, including Covid-19 Modelling Aotearoa and The Disinformation Project.
Establishment and structure
The New Zealand Government developed the Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs) in 2001 based on "international evidence that research is more likely to be successful (in terms of quality, relevance and impact) if there is a critical mass of researchers who work together to share skills, knowledge and resources". In 2012, two researchers, Shaun Hendy and Dion O'Neale began discussing how a collaborative, complex research system could make an impact, and in 2013 a proposal was submitted to the Centre of Research Excellence. After being interviewed by the Royal Society of New Zealand, it was announced in 2014 that Te Pūnaha Matatini Centre for Complex Systems and Networks, to be located in the Faculty of Science, Auckland University, was confirmed as one of the new Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs). Adam Jaffe, in 2017, at the end of a five-year tenure as Director of Motu Economic and Public Policy Research, discussed the importance of the work Motu had done in assisting with the setting up of Te Pūnaha Matatini. He said it was one his "proudest achievements...[because]...it allows economists, physicists, mathematicians and ecologists to share different ways of approaching and quantifying the impact of networks...[and]... the joint innovation and productivity research has real potential to improve the complex systems that affect people's lives and livelihoods".
Funded by the Tertiary Education Commission, Te Pūnaha Matatini aimed to be a collaborative partnership that brought together "New Zealand's leading researchers in physics, economics, mathematics, biology, computer science, operations management, statistics, and social science to study complex systems and networks in the biosphere, the economy, and the marketplace".
The organisation holds that its research spans the "breadth of human knowledge, from computational sciences to environmental economi |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buses%20in%20Novosibirsk | The Novosibirsk bus system () is part of the public transport network of Novosibirsk, Russia. The system was launched in 1923.
History
The first route was launched in the summer of 1923: the buses ran between the railway station, city center and Zakamenka district (the area where now the State Public Scientific & Technological Library is located).
In 1937, Novosibirsk bus system comprised 30 buses and 4 routes.
In 1985 the bus fleet had more than 1600 buses.
Since the 1990s, alongside the municipal operator, a private carriers serve bus routes in Novosibirsk.
Current status
The system consists of 52 routes served by buses over 10 metres long (№№ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 18к, 20, 21, 23, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 53, 54, 55, 57, 59, 60, 61, 64, 65, 68, 69, 73, 77, 79, 88, 91, 95, 96, 97, 98) and 17 routes served by smaller buses (№№ 1, 9, 10, 15, 19, 24, 27, 40, 43, 48, 49, 52, 52к, 58, 67, 72, 74).
The bus fleet is represented by such models as Russian PAZ-3205, LiAZ-5256, LiAZ-5293, and NefAZ-5299, Belarusian MAZ-103, MAZ-104, MAZ-206, and MAZ-226 with an internal combustion engines. Local authorities planned that at least 50% of buses will be natural gas vehicles by 2020. In 2012, special battery electric bus based on NefAZ-5299 was tested.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterbuses%20in%20Novosibirsk | The Novosibirsk waterbus system () is a part of the public transport network of Novosibirsk, Russia.
History
In 1910, the municipal authorities bought the steamship "Novonikolayevsk" for the organisation of a ferry between right and left banks of Ob. In 1919, "Novonikolayevsk" was replaced by the steamship "Brat'ya" ("Brothers"). The ferry was operational until the opening of the Kommunalny Bridge in 1955.
In 1950s-1970s, there was a need to provide transport services between city center and dachas located in the Ob river valley within the city limits. This had given a boost to a development of the city waterbus transport system which reached its peak in the mid-1970s. At that time, Novosibirsk passenger fleet replenished with new hydrofoil boats such as Meteor type, Voskhod type, Raketa type and hydroplane pump-jet boats Zarya type.
Further development of the land passenger transport led to a ridership drop and a reduction of the number of routes of waterbus system.
Current status
Routes of Novosibirsk waterbus are operated by the only one private carrier, which is using displacement decked Moskva type ships. This carrier also serves suburban commuter routes to Berdsk and Sedova Zaimka.
The Novosibirsk waterbus system includes the following routes:
Novosibirsk River Passenger Terminal - Beach "Bugrinskaya Roshcha" - Korablik Island
This route is the only way to take people to Korablik Island because no other public transport goes to the island. Since 2020, waterbuses, following this route, make intermediate stop at the beach near Bugrinskaya Roshcha.
Novosibirsk River Passenger Terminal - Severo-Chemskoy residential area - Allotment garden community "Smorodinka" - Allotment garden community "Tikhie Zori"
The route was launched on 1 August 2021. In 2022, the route will be operational since the opening of the period of navigability.
Novosibirsk River Passenger Terminal - Novosibirsk Waterpark.
The route was launched in 2018. The route was not included in the plan of navigational season 2021 due to suspension of Waterpark's operation.
Usually, the period of navigability is opened in late April or early May and is closed in late September or early October.

The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2021–22 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.

All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs, and fill timeslots not allocated to network programs with local, syndicated, or paid programming at their discretion. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or a digital subchannel in their regular timeslot). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
Weeknights

ABC, NBC and CBS offer their overnight and early morning newscasts via a looping feed (usually running as late as 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time) to accommodate local scheduling in the westernmost contiguous time zones or for use a filler programming for stations that do not offer a local morning newscast; some stations without a morning newscast may air syndicated or time-lease programs instead of the full newscast loop.
NBC provides rebroadcasts of the NBC Nightly News, along with Top Story with Tom Llamas from its NBC News Now streaming service (on weeknights), Meet the Press (on Sunday overnights), and a 90-minute block of LXTV-produced programs (1st Look, Open House and Open House NYC) (on Friday and Saturday overnights, which are required to air directly after Saturday Night Live), with scheduling a |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open%20Access%20in%20Data%20Transmission%20Act | The Open Access in Data Transmission Act is an internet and telecommunications law bill filed in the Congress of the Philippines. The bill contains provisions encouraging the development of data transmission infrastructure and removing any barrier to competition in data transmission services. It also aims to protect and promote the internet as an open platform enabling consumer choice, freedom of expression, end-user control, competition and freedom to innovate without permission.
Background
The Philippine telecommunications industry was liberalized in 1995 with the passage of the Republic Act No. 7925 or the Public Telecommunications Policy Act. Prior to the enactment of the law, the telecommunications industry was heavily dominated by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). On March 29, 1994, Internet first became available and has since become commercially available for consumer, private business, government and institutional use.
Business process outsourcing in the Philippines (BPO) started in 1997. Significant number of BPO companies depend on internet connectivity to perform its function. Revenues from this new industry has since contributed significant percentage to the Philippines' Gross Domestic Product. With the industry becoming competitive locally, many industry players offered remote work opportunities, taking advantage of the advancement of technology such as videotelephony, virtual private network, and remote desktop software. On December 20, 2018, Republic Act No. 11165 or the Telecommuting Act was enacted, setting a state policy on remote work and flexible work arrangements.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses, organizations, government and academic institutions were forced to close and switch to remote work as a contingency plan. Much of the local home data and mobile telecommunications infrastructure went on high demand that resulted to slow data transmission. Despite the passage of Republic Act No. 11494 on September 14, 2020, or the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, to facilitate a streamed lined process of approving local and national government permits to build telecommunications infrastructure, many observed that there is not much competition in the telecommunication sector as there is no enabling law that prohibits public telecommunication entities (PTE)s of bandwidth throttling, state oversight on PTEs performance on data transmission, among others.
Support
In a statement from Department of Information and Communications Technology through Secretary Gringo Honasan on March 20, 2021, the DICT expressed its support for the bill. He added that the DICT supports any policies aimed at spurring the growth of information and communications technology in the country.
The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry also expressed its support for the bill. They stated that if the bill is enacted to a law, it lowers barriers to market entry, fast-track and lower the cost of deploying broadband facilitie |

The high level of automation together with sub-pixel precision and interactive visualization makes the quantitative crystallographic analysis accessible even for non-crystallographers allowing for an interdisciplinary research. Simultaneously, experienced material scientists can take advantage of advanced functionalities for comprehensive analyses.
CrysTBox is being developed in the Laboratory of electron microscopy at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. For academic purposes, it is available for free. As of 2022, the suite has been deployed at research and educational facilities in more than 90 countries supporting research of ETH Zurich, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Max Planck Institutes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fraunhofer Institutes or Oxford University.
Suite
As a scientific tool, CrysTBox suite is freely available for academic purposes, it supports file formats widely used in the community and offers interconnection with other scientific software.
Availability
CrysTBox is freely available on demand for non-commercial use by non-commercial subjects. The only safe way to download CrysTBox installers is via a request form on the official website. Commercial use is not allowed due to the license of MATLAB used for CrysTBox compilation.
Notable research and users
Besides education, CrysTBox is mainly used in research with fields of application spanning from nuclear research to archaeology and paleontology. Among others, the suite was employed in development of additive manufacturing (including 3D printed biodegradable alloys, metallic glass or high-entropy alloys), resistant coatings, laser shock peening, water cleaning technologies or characterization of 50 million years old flint.
Institutions whose research was supported by CrysTBox include educational facilities such as ETH Zurich, University of California, Uppsala University, Oxford University, University of Waterloo, Indian Institute of Technology, Nanyang Technological University or University of Tokyo as well as research institutes like Max Planck Institutes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fraunhofer Institutes or US national laboratories (NL) such as Oak Ridge NL, Lawrence Berkeley NL, Idaho NL and Lawrence Livermoore NL.
Limitations and disadvantages
CrysTBox is compiled to a stand-alone installers using MATLAB Compiler. Therefore, 1-2 GB of MATLAB libraries are installed together with the toolbox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OIC%20Computer%20Emergency%20Response%20Team | The OIC Computer Emergency Response Team (; ), commonly known as OIC-CERT, is a computer emergency response team and one of the 17 affiliated organs of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Focused on global cybersecurity in the 27 member and non-member states, it is considered the world's third-largest computer emergency response team coordinated by the 27 countries. The OIC-CERT is primarily focused on providing emergency support in cyber resilience with global collaboration with its associated members and information security organizations. It also encourages member states to implement cybersecurity policies by their respective CERTs.
Chaired by CyberSecurity Malaysia, a national cybersecurity agency, it also serves as the Secretariat of OIC-CERT. Huawei became the first multinational technology corporation to sign the OIC-CERT membership in 2021. Its membership is sponsored by the UAE Computer Emergency Response Team (aeCERT). OIC-CERT maintains a global information and communications technology ecosystem and assisted nations in preventing cyberattack challenges.
History
OIC Computer Emergency Response Team was established by adopting a resolution INF-36/2 in May 2009 by the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in its 36th session held in Damascus, Syria. The council of foreign affairs granted OIC-CERT the status of an affiliated institution in the same year.
Code of Ethics
Code of Ethics are the fundamental elements of the organisation that determine the status, cybercrime behaviour and membership by its Steering Committee. It regulates the information security organizations and the member states under four Codes of Ethics.
Objectives
Established for global cooperation between the cybersecurity organisation within the framework of the Charter of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, its main activities are focused on promoting and building the relationship between the member states in cybersecurity sector, in addition to exchanging information and minimising cyberterrorism, and cybercrime. It also conducts educational and internet security awareness programmes in cybersecurity sector and provides cooperation technology research and development.
The OIC-CERT objectively works on two principles such as capacity building and infrastructure programmes which are financially aided by the member states and the Islamic Development Bank. The financial assistance model is jointly managed by the Organization of American States and the Asia Pacific Team.
The OIC-CERT conduct International Cyber Drills every year since 2009 to enhance and develop Cyber Security Capabilities of member states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Secret%20Guide%20to%20Computers | The Secret Guide to Computers is a book on computer hardware and software techniques by Russ Walter.
The book was written to be useful in both teaching and professional environments. Its goal is to describe everything necessary to become a "computer expert," covering philosophies, technicalities, hardware, software, theory, and practice.
Walter shares his telephone number for readers of the book to ask questions 24 hours a day.
Editions
, there are 34 editions of the book.
Details:
The original edition, now called "edition zero," was written in 1972. It was 17 pages about how to write programs in BASIC. The 7th edition, written in 1976, was the first edition to actually use the title "The Secret Guide to Computers."
Some editions are multi-volume sets.
Table of contents
All editions are self-published by the author, Russell M. Walter (nicknamed "Russ"), but other publishers have reprinted their own versions. For example, the 11th edition, written in 1983, was a 2-volume set. The photo (which you see on the right or above) shows a reprint, published by Birkhäuser Boston, of volume 1 of the 11th edition. It includes a different cover and different advertising material than Russ's version. It was Birkhäuser Boston's first edition but a reprint of just part of Russ's 11th edition.
The 31st edition had an expanded title: "Secret Guide to Computers & Tricky Living." That's because it combined "The Secret Guide to Computers" with Russ's other book, "Tricky Living," to form a huge book, 703 pages. That expanded title was used on the 31st edition and all later editions (the 32nd, 33rd, and 34th).
The current edition, the 34th, was published in 2022. Its 703 pages include 42 chapters, organized into 7 mega-chapters: buying (use this book, how to shop, chips, disks, I/O devices software, complete systems), Windows (Windows 10&11, Web, email, security, maintenance, repairs, command prompt), handhelds (pure Android, Samsung's Android, iPad), tricky living (health, daily survival, intellectuals, language, places, Donna's comments, arts, math, government, morals, sex), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), programming (Basic, Python, Web-page design, challenges, Visual Basic, Visual C#, exotic languages, assembler), and parting (computer past, your future, resources). Though most of the book was written by Russ, the "Donna's comments" chapter was written instead by his wife (Guang Chun Walter, nicknamed "Donna") and edited by him, so she's a coauthor.
Many earlier editions are still available from Russ, at reduced prices and including many topics omitted from the 34th edition, such as a dozen big 33rd-edition topics (Windows 7 & 8 & 8.1, Internet Explorer, Yahoo Mail, iPhone, Microsoft Publisher&Access, QB64, and Java&APL) and prostitution (most thoroughly in Tricky Living's first edition).
The book's Website, SecretFun.com, includes links to free PDFs of the entire 33rd & 34th editions, plus many other topics, such as how to get printed book |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%20Room%20Curse | The is an early Japanese Internet urban legend about a red pop-up ad which announces the forthcoming death of the person who encounters it on their computer screen. It may have its origin in an Adobe Flash horror animation of the late 1990s that tells the story of the legend.
Legend
There are several variations of the Red Room Curse urban legend. According to the most common one, while browsing the Internet the victim will be presented with a red pop-up with a black text saying "Do you like — ?" (あなたは〜好きですか?). After trying to close it, the pop-up will reappear, this time the text saying "Do you like the red room?" (あなたは赤い部屋が好きですか?). Then, the screen will turn red, displaying a list of names of the Red Room's victims. The target will sense a mysterious presence behind them, after which they will lose consciousness. They will later be found dead in their home, with the walls of the room in which they are discovered "painted red with blood".
Origin and spread
In the late 1990s, a Japanese interactive Adobe Flash horror animation, considered to be the origin of the Red Room Curse urban legend, was uploaded to GeoCities. It told the story of a young boy who was cursed and died after seeing the pop-up. The legend of the curse gained notoriety in 2004 due to the Sasebo slashing – the murder of a 12-year-old schoolgirl by an 11-year-old classmate referred to as "Girl A" at an elementary school in Sasebo. "Girl A" was reported to be a fan of the Red Room Curse animation, having the video bookmarked on her computer at the time of the murder. The webpage in question is currently inaccessible using conventional methods due to the discontinuation of Geocities and Adobe Flash.
A short film titled The Red Room Curse inspired by the urban legend was released in 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whirlinurd | Whirlinurd is a platform game designed by Chris Gray and published by U.S. Gold in 1985 for the Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 home computers. The previous game co-designed by Chris Gray was the 8-bit hit Boulder Dash.
Gameplay
The player controls one of the four Nurds and must complete 50 rooms filled with obstacles, collecting food along the way. Each level has different obstacles (such as snakes, bugs, or bouncing balls) that must be avoided, or the player will lose one of three lives. The player-controlled Nurd can fly using the propellers on its head, but if the Nurd touches a wall or platform, it floats back to the ground and cannot fly until it touches solid land. In each room, the player must collect four pieces of food before he can proceed to the next level.
Reception
Whirlinurd received mixed reviews, many of which highlighted the game's derivativeness. Your Commodore reviewer concluded: "I found this game quite challenging to play, but I can't say that it was more exciting than the host of other games in the same vein." A Commodore User reviewer agreed: "Whirlinurd is pretty standard stuff really and very similar in concept, though not detail, to umpteen other obstacle games".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH-tree | The PH-tree is a tree data structure used for spatial indexing of multi-dimensional data (keys) such as geographical coordinates, points, feature vectors, rectangles or bounding boxes.
The PH-tree is space partitioning index with a structure similar to that of a quadtree or octree. However, unlike quadtrees, it uses a splitting policy based on tries and similar to Crit bit trees that is based on the bit-representation of the keys.
The bit-based splitting policy, when combined with the use of different internal representations for nodes, provides scalability with high-dimensional data. The bit-representation splitting policy also imposes a maximum depth, thus avoiding degenerated trees and the need for rebalancing.
Overview
The basic PH-tree is a spatial index that maps keys, which are -dimensional vectors with integers, to user defined values. The PH-tree is a multi-dimensional generalization of a Crit bit tree in the sense that a Crit bit tree is equivalent to a PH-tree with -dimensional keys. Like the Crit bit tree, and unlike most other spatial indexes, the PH-tree is a map rather than a multimap.
A -dimensional PH-tree is a tree of nodes where each node partitions space by subdividing it into quadrants (see below for how potentially large nodes scales with high dimensional data). Each quadrant contains at most one entry, either a key-value pair (leaf quadrant) or a key-subnode pair. For a key-subnode pair, the key represents the center of the subnode. The key is also the common prefix (bit-representation) of all keys in the subnode and its child subnodes. Each node has at least two entries, otherwise it is merged with the parent node.
Some other structural properties of PH-trees are:
They are -ary trees.
They are inherently unbalanced but imbalance is limited due to their depth being limited to the bit width of the keys, e.g. to 32 for a -dimensional key with 32bit integers.
Insertion or removal operations cause exactly one node to be modified and potentially a second node to be added or removed. This can be useful for concurrent implementations. This also means little variation in modification cost.
Their structure is independent from insertion/removal order.
Splitting strategy
Similar to most quadtrees, the PH-tree is a hierarchy of nodes where every node splits the space in all dimensions. Thus, a node can have up to subnodes, one for each quadrant.
Quadrant numbering
The PH-tree uses the bits of the multi-dimensional keys to determine their position in the tree. All keys that have the same leading bits are stored in the same branch of the tree.
For example, in a node at level , to determine the quadrant where a key should be inserted (or removed or looked up), it looks at the 's bit of each dimension of the key. For a 3D node with 8 quadrants (forming a cube) the 's bit of the first dimension of the key determines whether the target quadrant is on the left or the right of the cube, the 's bit of the second dimension determi |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20sequence%20information | Digital sequence information (DSI) is a placeholder term used in international policy fora, particularly the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to refer to data derived from de-materialized genetic resources. The 2018 Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on DSI reached consensus that the term was "not appropriate". Nevertheless, the term is generally agreed to include nucleic acid sequence data, and may be construed to include other data types derived from or linked to dematerialized genetic resources, including, for example, protein sequence data. The appropriateness and meaning of this term remain controversial as evidenced by its continued placeholder status, post the 15th Conference of the Parties to the CBD. DSI is crucial to research in a wide range of contexts, including public health, medicine, biodiversity, plant and animal breeding, and evolution research.
The Nagoya Protocol, a component of the Convention on Biological Diversity, establishes a right for countries to regulate, and to share in benefits derived from, their nation's genetic resources by arranging Access and Benefit Sharing Agreements with users. Academic researchers, however, generally share DSI freely and openly online, following a set of principles that align with the open science movement. Open sharing of DSI is recognized to have broad benefits, and open science is a major and growing focus of international science policy. This creates a perceived conflict with benefit sharing obligations, as individuals can access and use these open data without entering into benefit-sharing agreements. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity are currently considering a range of policy options that strike different balances between these two important international policy goals.
DSI is also an important concept in other international legally binding instruments with access and benefit-sharing obligations, including the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework, the Antarctic Treaty System and the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction negotiations, a component of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Background
It was built by General Atomics for the US DOD's Space Development Agency.
The two cubesats, LINCS A/B, were launched on SpaceX's Transporter-2 rideshare in June 2021, but communications were not established by January 2022. One theory is that helium exposure during the Falcon 9 launch affected MEMS devices in the cubesats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardea%20Brown | Kardea Brown is an American chef and caterer known for being the host of the television show Delicious Miss Brown on the Food Network. The show has reached 3.5 million viewers since its 2019 premiere, averaging over 1 million viewers per episode, and began its sixth season in 2022.
Early life
Brown was born in Charleston, South Carolina and is of Gullah descent; her grandmother is from Wadmalaw Island. She is a contemporary Southern cook.
Career
She had been working in social services and auditioned for a pilot on the Food Network but was told to work on her cooking skills. She started the New Gullah Supper Club in 2015, a pop-up traveling supper club featuring traditional Gullah dishes "with a contemporary twist" at events often featuring Gullah singers or storytellers. She was invited by Food Network to be on Beat Bobby Flay and to host Cupcake Championship before being offered her own show. Brown signed an exclusive contract with Food Network in 2021 which included her being the host of The Great Soul Food Cook-Off.
Delicious Miss Brown is set at a home on Edisto Island and focuses on "fresh, seasonal, and very seafood heavy" cooking. Brown's great-great-great grandmother was the last person to own Hutchinson House on Edisto Island. She hosted an episode with a fish-fry fundraiser to raise money for the house's restoration in 2021. During that show she discussed the history of slavery and the formerly enslaved people who built Hutchinson House, despite the network's past concerns about discussing similar topics on the network, according to food historian Dan Kohler.
Her first cookbook The Way Home was published in October 2022.

History
Singaporean firm SpaceDC announced in February 2022 that it plans to set up MNL1, a hyperscale data center, in the Philippines citing the country as the second country in Southeast Asia with the fastest data center growth and characterized it as a "dramatically underserved market". It acquired the service of property consulting firm JLL as MNL1's construction manager. At a cost of , it is planned to be built in Cainta, Rizal. SpaceDC assessed potential sites in Greater Manila for natural disaster risk such as earthquakes, flooding, and volcanic eruptions prior to settling with the Cainta site.
It is projected to be operational within 2022. If completed it will become the largest data center in the Philippines.
Facilities
The MNL1 campus in Cainta, Rizal will cover an area of . It will be a green data center with a capacity of 72 MW and mainly powered wind and geothermal energy. It will host its own leading internet exchange as well as switch/ramp to cloud providers such as AWS, Alibaba, and Azure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw%20Data%20Feel | Raw Data Feel is the sixth studio album by British band Everything Everything, released on 20 May 2022 through Infinity Industries, the band's own imprint. The album was produced by the band's guitarist Alex Robertshaw and Tom A.D. Fuller, and its release was preceded by the singles "Bad Friday" (7 February), "Teletype" (9 March), "I Want a Love Like This" (28 March) and "Pizza Boy" (4 May). On 27 May 2022, The album reached #4 in the UK Album Charts, their highest-charting release to date. The album's creation was inspired by the band's experiences with artificial intelligence, which was employed to help provide ideas for song lyrics as well as the album's artwork.
Themes
The songs on Raw Data Feel deal with the theme of experiencing trauma and relying on technology to cope with it. Feeling constrained by his reputation as a "political singer" and wanting to "abandon the human brain", frontman and lead songwriter Jonathan Higgs envisioned a more inward, less sociopolitical approach by using characters to play the experience out.
With assistance from Mark Hanslip, a musician and researcher at the University of York's Contemporary Music Research Centre, Higgs developed an AI bot dubbed "Kevin", named after a recurring character in the album, to compose song lyrics generatively. Higgs fed it four different sources of information—LinkedIn's terms and conditions, the epic poem Beowulf, 400,000 posts from the message board 4chan, and the sayings of Confucius—before compiling and tweaking the results into usable material. Ultimately, the bot contributed roughly 5% of the album's lyrics and a song title ("Software Greatman"), receiving a songwriting credit in the process, and has also provided the imagery for the album's artwork and promotional campaign.
The band described the album's sound as "vivid, bright and spontaneous" and their "most natural and impulsive work".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%20de%20Juder%C3%ADas%20de%20Espa%C3%B1a | The Red de Juderías de España (literally "Network of Jewish Quarters of Spain") is a non-profit organisation comprising cities which have a medieval Jewish quarter. Its goals are to preserve the architectural, historical, artistic and cultural legacy of the Sephardi Jews, who were expelled from Spain in 1492. Since October 2016, the organisation is permanently headquartered in Córdoba, while its presidency rotates annually between mayors of member cities.
History
The organisation was founded in 1995 and its founding members were Cáceres, Córdoba, Girona, Hervás, Ribadavia, Segovia, Toledo and Tudela. Tortosa and Oviedo joined before the end of the century. Barcelona and León joined in 2003, alongside Ávila and Jaén two years later. In 2008 there was a significant expansion, with Besalú, Calahorra, Estella-Lizarra, Monforte de Lemos Plasencia and Tarazona joining. Lucena became the 24th member in 2012, having first applied in 2003.
In June 2016, the Catalan members Besalú, Castelló d'Empúries, Girona and Tortosa quit the organisation. These cities – where Jewish quarters are known as calls from a Hebrew term – saw the organisation as focused on tourism, while they considered education and research to be more important. The split made headlines in The New York Times and Israel's Haaretz.
Seville, a member since 2011, also left in 2016. Mayor Juan Espadas saw membership as not financially viable. Palma de Mallorca ended its 12-year membership in 2017 in order to put the €22,500 fee towards promoting its Jewish history independently. Oviedo's membership ended in 2020 due to a €54,000 debt.
Béjar, Lorca, Sagunto and Tui joined in 2019.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorraine%20Lipscombe | Lorraine L. Lipscombe is a Canadian endocrinologist. In 2021, Lipscombe was appointed the director of the University of Toronto's Novo Nordisk Network for Healthy Populations.
Early life and education
Born and raised in Montreal, Lipscombe completed her Bachelor of Science degree in psychology at Concordia University where she helped complete research on how hormones affect maternal behaviour in rats. She then completed her medical degree at McGill University in 1998 before enrolling at the University of Toronto for Internal Medicine and Endocrinology residency training, followed by a Master's degree in Clinical Epidemiology, Health Policy, Management, and Evaluation. While completing her master's degree, Lipscombe discovered that there was a bidirectional relationship between breast cancer and diabetes. She also found that women with diabetes received fewer mammograms and had a higher mortality and more advanced stage of breast cancer at diagnosis.
Career
Following her MSc, Lipscombe joined the Department of Endocrinology at Women's College Hospital (WCH) in 2006. Lipscombe is a professor in the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine and was director of the Division of Endocrinology at WCH from 2017 to 2021. While working in these roles, Lipscombe developed a program to assist women with gestational diabetes which included lifestyle coaching on healthy eating and physical activity. She also received funding for her research into why health outcomes were worse for cancer patients who also had diabetes. In 2007, Lipscombe was awarded a Clinician Scientist Award from Diabetes Canada, followed by a New Investigator Award from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research in 2012, and a Diabetes Investigator Award from Diabetes Canada in 2018.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AreaVibes | AreaVibes is a data analytics and real estate company based in Toronto, which provides clients with demographic data and analysis focused on real estate in American and Canadian cities.
Background
The online data collector Datanyze states that AreaVibes was founded in 2009 by Canadian entrepreneur Jon Russo. The Government of Canada corporate registry states more specifically that AreaVibes was incorporated 4 November 2009. AreaVibes states that their aggregate data "takes into account dozens of characteristics in seven different categories including nearby amenities, cost of living, crime rates, employment, schools, housing and user ratings." The methodology employed by AreaVibes is publicly available on the company website. In 2020, it was revealed that AreaVibes outsources content writing services from Las Vegas-based search engine optimization company TextBroker.
Data
Crime
AreaVibes online methodology states that crime data is taken from FBI Uniform Crime Reports and from Statistics Canada. In 2021, Business Insider stated that "AreaVibes is a useful resource for learning more about the crime rates in your zip code... AreaVibes also categorizes how much of reported crime falls under either violent crime or property crime, then breaks it down into smaller categories such as assault, burglary, and vehicle theft." In a comparison of various crime reporting websites published in the News & Observer, journalist Bob Wilson stated "one site that struck me as more reliable than others is AreaVibes.com." Other publications, however, have criticized and questioned AreaVibes crime data; for example, in 2017, the Farmville Herald argued that AreaVibes crime rankings "ignore the uniqueness of each locale." In 2021, the Great Falls Tribune stated that AreaVibes' crime data "is inaccurate and some of its sourcing is suspect."
Livability score
AreaVibes employs the term "livability score" as a way to rank various cities, towns, and neighborhoods. While reporting for the Belleville News-Democrat in 2014, Mark Hodapp stated that AreaVibes "created the scoring system using a unique algorithm" and that the livability score is "designed to help people find the best places to live." According to a statement posted on the AreaVibes website, the company explains that their Livability Score "is a score out of 100... designed to help people quickly and easily evaluate the quality of an area... [and] consists of 7 different categories and dozens of data points across multiple data sets."
In publications
Data reported by AreaVibes has been referenced in a number of popular news publications such as the Huffington Post and Business Insider, as well as in municipal newspapers such as the Great Falls Tribune and the Beaumont Enterprise. As of 2022, the academic database ProQuest lists 113 scholarly sources that reference AreaVibes; for example, in 2018, AreaVibes demographic data on Borough Park, Brooklyn was cited in an article published in the academic journal |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YJK | YJK is a proprietary color space implemented by the Yamaha V9958 graphic chip on MSX2+ computers. It has the advantage of encoding images by implementing less resolution for color information than for brightness, taking advantage of the human visual systems' lower acuity for color differences. This saves memory, transmission and computing power.YJK is composed of three components: , and .
is similar to luminance (but computed differently), and are the chrominance components (representing the red and green color differences). The component is a 5-bit value (0 to 31), specified for each individual pixel. The and components are stored together in 6 bits (-32 to 31) and shared between 4 nearby pixels (4:2:0 chroma sub-sampling).
While conceptually similar to YUV, chroma sampling, numerical relationship between the components, and transformation to and from RGB are different in YJK.
Formulas
The three component signals are created from an original RGB (red, green and blue) source. The weighted values of , and are added together to produce a single signal, representing the overall brightness of that pixel. The signal is then created by subtracting the from the red signal of the original RGB, and then scaling; and by subtracting the from the green, and then scaling by a different factor.
These formulae approximate the conversion between the RGB color space and YJK:
From RGB to YJK:
From YJK to RGB:
You may note that the component of YJK is not true luminance, since the green component has less weight than the blue component. Also, contrary to YUV where chrominance is based on Red-Blue differences, on YJK its calculated based on Red-Green differences.
