https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dion%20O%27Neale | Dion O'Neale is a New Zealand applied mathematician who specialises in the area of complex systems and network science. His work involves the analysis of empirical data to inform computer simulations to predict how interacting parts and structures of networks can affect the dynamics and properties of systems. During COVID-19, O'Neale created mathematical models to build understanding of how the network of interractions of the virus was spread, and during this period, was a frequent commentator in the New Zealand media about the country's response to the pandemic. He is a senior lecturer in physics at Auckland University, principal investigator at Te Pūnaha Matatini and Project Lead of COVID-19 Modelling Aotearoa.
Education and career
Born in New Zealand, O'Neale studied at the University of Auckland between 1999 and 2003, graduating with a BSc in physics, BA in mathematics and BSc with honours in applied mathematics. He completed his MSc at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf in 2005, and PhD at Massey University in 2009. O'Neale was a postdoctoral research fellow at La Trobe University in Australia from August 2009 until April 2010, when he returned to New Zealand and joined the Applied Mathematics team at Industrial Research Limited, later known as Callaghan Innovation, in Lower Hutt, where he worked as a research scientist until 2013 when he became a research fellow and later lecturer with the department of physics at Auckland University. As of 2022 O'Neale continues in that role and since 2015 has been a principal investigator at Te Pūnaha Matatini. O'Neale has taken lead roles in several New Zealand government-funded research projects and in 2021 became the project lead for a programme called COVID-19 Modelling Aotearoa which initially arose under the leadership of Te Pūnaha Matatini but is now a standalone project hosted by the University of Auckland.
Response to COVID-19 in New Zealand
Modelling and research
O'Neale was part of a team led by Michael Baker and funded in 2020 by the Health Research Council of New Zealand(HRC) for a 3-year research project: COVID-19 Pandemic in Aotearoa NZ: Impact, Inequalities & Improving our response. The goal of the project was to provide insights to the New Zealand Ministry of Health about how the virus was likely to severely affect people with existing health conditions and less able to afford health care. The application noted that Maori and Pasifika were disproportionately represented in this group so the response in New Zealand needed to be "effective and fair....[and the researchers undertook to]... communicate these insights to decision-makers at the Ministry of Health, service providers, communities, other Pacific nations, and the public in the form of practical recommendations to guide current and future pandemic responses".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Librex%20Computer%20Systems | Librex Computer Systems Inc. was a short-lived American subsidiary of the Nippon Steel Corporation that manufactured notebook computers from 1990 to 1992. Librex had roots in Nippon Steel's Electronics and Information Systems Division (EISD) back in Japan, which starting in 1986 had formed joint ventures with several high-profile American computer companies. Librex was Nippon Steel EISD's first venture in the United States; it also set up Nippon Steel Computer PLC in the United Kingdom to sell identical products. The company's notebooks received praise in the technology press, but a fierce price war in the market for laptops in the early 1990s combined with dwindling profit margins compelled Nippon Steel to dissolve Librex in 1993.
History
Background and foundation (1986–1990)
Librex Computer Systems was incorporated in San Jose, California, in June 1990; Nippon Steel formally introduced it in August 1990. Librex was the first venture in the United States for Nippon Steel's Electronics and Information Systems Division (EISD), which had sold software and hardware only in Japan. Librex was forerun by the existence of NS Computer Systems, Inc., a company set up by Nippon Steel in Santa Ana, California, to research the American computer marketplace.
The incorporation of Librex came at a time when Nippon Steel, at the time the largest steelmaking company in the world in terms of sales, was increasingly diversifying its operations. Although computer companies investing in Japanese steel companies and vice versa was somewhat commonplace in the turn of the 1990s technology industry—EISD had ties to several American computer companies—Nippon Steel set out Librex to operate independently, which was described as a rarity. Said Susan MacKnight of the Washington-based Japan Economic Institute, no other steel company had "set up a wholly owned subsidiary [in] anything outside the steel business in this country" up to that point. Along with Librex in the United States, Nippon Steel set up Nippon Steel Computer PLC in Langley, Berkshire.
Nippon Steel EISD, which only operated domestically, influenced the foundation of Librex, as executives within Nippon Steel expressed the desire for the company to have its own name-brand commodity computer. Starting in 1986, EISD had formed joint ventures with the American companies IBM, Concurrent Computer Corporation, Supertek Computers, Sun Microsystems, CalComp, and 3M and Japan companies Hitachi and Itochu to help develop EISD's hardware and software products. Discussions within Nippon Steel to form an international computer company began in 1987 with the commissioning of EISD to research the manufacture of workstations and laptops. A slate of notebook computers were developed by EISD in partnership with the EISS laboratories of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Japan. On Librex's incorporation in June 1990, the general manager of EISD, Toshiji Tanaka, was named president and CFO of Librex and moved to San Jose. The subsidiary emplo |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Keyboard%20Company | The Keyboard Company, Inc., was an American electronics company based in Garden Grove, California. It was contracted by Apple Computer to produce the keyboards of their microcomputers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The company also produced a number of peripherals separately for Apple's systems. Apple acquired the company in 1982 and renamed it the Apple Accessory Products Division (APD).
History
The Keyboard Company was founded by Michael Muller (born 1944). The company was incorporated on May 4, 1979. Muller was previously general manager of Datanetics of Fountain Valley, California, which manufactured keyboards for early electronic desktop calculators and cash registers. Datanetics was purchased by International Telephone & Telegraph in 1976. In spring 1977, Steve Jobs of the fledgling Apple Computer commissioned Datanetics to produce the keyboards for the original Apple II. Shortly afterwards, several computer manufacturers (including Mattel Electronics) hired Datanetics for computer keyboard production. Jobs suggested Muller form his own company to focus on manufacturing Apple's keyboards in early 1978. By September 1979, the newly formed Keyboard Company, although legally separate, acted as a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple, assuming responsibility of manufacturing Apple II keyboard units. The Keyboard Company soon manufactured roughly 50,000 units a month in their Garden Grove plant.
In late 1979 or early 1980, the company released its first peripheral, an external numeric keypad for the Apple II. The core demographic of Apple II's initial marketing efforts was the accounting industry; due to the first Apple II's lack of a numeric keypad, Muller felt that his would fill a niche. The Keyboard Company's numpad proved popular among VisiCalc users, with author Roger E. Clark writing that the numpad was "a superb peripheral device that we use daily and sincerely recommend". Clark also noted that installation was easy, requiring no soldering, which would have voided the user's warranty with Apple. The keypad package included a daughterboard, which could be inserted into a free space within the Apple II's chassis. The ribbon cable connecting the Apple II's keyboard was then removed and connected to a similar header on the daughterboard. A ribbon cable was provided connecting the numpad to the daughterboard via another header.
Apple again commissioned the Keyboard Company to manufacture the keyboards for the Apple III in spring 1980. The Apple III's keyboard included a numeric keypad. Meanwhile Apple's periphery demographic of video gamers grew to be one of its core users, and the Keyboard Company responded with the Joystick II and Cursor III in 1981. These joysticks were made for the Apple II and Apple III respectively. The company introduced Hand Controllers, paddle controllers sold as a pair, in 1982.
On April 1, 1982, Apple Computer purchased the Keyboard Company and its Garden Grove facility outright. The subsidiary was renamed to A |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmaduke%20%282022%20film%29 | Marmaduke is a 2022 computer-animated comedy film directed by Mark Dippé, and co-directed by Phil Nibbelink, Youngki Lee, and Matt Whelan, based on the comic strip of the same name by Paul and Brad Anderson. It is the second feature-length film based on the strip following the 2010 live-action film. The film stars Pete Davidson as the voice of Marmaduke, along with J. K. Simmons and David Koechner. It was released by SC Films in international countries and on Netflix in the United States on May 6, 2022. The film was universally panned by critics and audiences, with criticisms going towards its animation, screenplay, story, characters, and humor.
Plot
Phil, his wife, and their two children Barbara and Billy live with their dog, a Great Dane by the name of Marmaduke. The film opens at Billy's birthday party. Marmaduke takes a cannonball dive from the second floor of the family home into the backyard pool, releasing a giant tidal wave. Barbara records it on her phone and the video goes viral. It comes to the attention of a world-renowned dog trainer, Guy, who offers to transform Marmaduke into a world-class show dog. At first, the family isn’t sure about Marmaduke entering dog competitions. When Phil learns there is a one million dollar top prize, he’s persuaded to make an agreement. Marmaduke goes into training and, after some initial resistance, starts to make progress.
Guy enters Marmaduke into a local dog show to test his skills. During the preliminary setup, Marmaduke encounters an Afghan hound named Zeus. Zeus entices Marmaduke to eat prior to the competition, making him bloated. Marmaduke does his best to conceal the matter and struts onto the field with Guy. Before one lap around the field, Marmaduke releases voluminous clouds of noxious flatus which envelopes the entire field. He soars through the air and lands backside down in the winner’s trophy and defecates in it, much to the horror of everyone.
Disgraced, Guy refuses to keep training Marmaduke. Deflated and dejected, Marmaduke runs away from home. As he runs down the street, he sees the family cat, King Tut, in the middle of an intersection. Marmaduke saves the cat but has difficulty connecting with his character. Persuaded by King Tut, Marmaduke embarks on a trip around the world, performing heroic stunts along the way. His circumnavigation convinces Guy to take Marmaduke back on track for the World Dog Championship. Marmaduke encounters Zeus again at the competition with many other dog breeds. The competition consists of three challenges, but right after Marmaduke passes the second challenge, he lands on Guy, who is hospitalized. Without a trainer, his owners end up stepping in to coach him, allowing him to tackle the final challenge.
In the third and final challenge, the dogs perform a unique act, with Marmaduke and Billy doing a cowboy act with King Tut, pleasing the audience. Later, the judge's final results reveal Zeus as the winner. However, Marmaduke uncovers that Zeus' ow |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightBasin | LightBasin, also called UNC1945 by Mandiant, is a suspected Chinese cyber espionage group, that has been described as an advanced persistent threat that has been attributed to multiple cyberattacks on telecommunications companies. As an advanced persistent threat, they seek to gain unauthorized access to a computer network and remain undetected for an extended period. They have been attributed to attacks targeting Linux and Solaris systems.
History
The LightBasin cyber espionage group has operated since 2016. CrowdStrike say that they are based in China, though their exact location isn't known. They have targeted 13 telecoms operators.
Targets
CrowdStrike says that the group is unusual in targeting protocols and technology of telecoms operators. According to CrowdStrike's investigation of one such breach, LightBasin leveraged external Domain Name System (eDNS) servers — which are part of the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network and play a role in roaming between different mobile operators — to connect directly to and from other compromised telecommunication companies’ GPRS networks via Secure Shell and through previously established implants. Many of their tools are written for them rather than being off the shelf.
After compromising a system, then installed a backdoor, known as SLAPSTICK, for the Solaris Pluggable authentication module. They utilize TinyShell, which is a Python command shell used to control and execute commands through HTTP requests to a web shell, to communicate with attackers' ip addresses. The scripts are tunneled through an SGSN emulator, which CrowdStrike says is to maintain OPSEC. Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) is a main component of the GPRS network, which handles all packet switched data within the network, e.g. the mobility management and authentication of the users. Utilizing this form of tunneling makes it less likely to be restricted or inspected by network security solutions.
CrowdStrike recommends that firewalls dealing with GPRS traffic be configured to limit access to DNS or GPRS tunneling protocol traffic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local%20Engagement%20Refugee%20Research%20Network | The Local Engagement Refugee Research Network (LERRN) is a team of researchers and practitioners supporting work on the inclusion of refugees in public policy and the localization of refugee research. The group is hosted by Carleton University in Canada.
The network increases understanding of research centres in refugee-hosting countries.
History
The Local Engagement Refugee Research Network was launched in October 2018 and is hosted at Carleton University's faculty of Public Affairs.
Activities
From 2018, LERRN collaborated with the International Development Research Centre to increase IDRC's awareness and understanding of researchers in low and middle income countries working on forced displacement. The research was informed by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees data about refugee-hosting countries; LERRN identified research centres located in the same places as displaced people.
Analysis of this work highlighted that a very small percentage of publications on refugee-related issues were produced by people who are based in academic institutions in refugee-hosting nations.
Selected publications

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FluBot | FluBot is a sophisticated SMS computer virus –specifically a banking Trojan– of global reach which aims to steal private data from Android smart phones. Unlike much malware, FluBot has proven exceptionally durable, coming in waves or "campaigns" with each redesign. It masquerades as innocuous messages such as missed calls and deliveries, asking the receiver to click links that download spyware. A variant, TeaBot, has infiltrated official app stores, including Google Play Store, in the guise of a QR-code reader.
16,000 reports of FluBot were reported to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission's Scamwatch in Australia across eight weeks in 2021. Although coverage of FluBot primarily centres on Australia and New Zealand, the scam has also targeted European countries such as Germany and Poland in 2022 campaigns.
In May 2022, FluBot infrastructure was taken down in an operation involving 11 countries and it is not expected to resurge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadao%20Takahashi | Eduardo Tadao Takahashi (16 December 1950 – 6 April 2022) was a Brazilian computer scientist and researcher who was credited with contributions toward planning, deployment, and adoption of the internet in Brazil and other Latin American countries. He was a founding director of Brazil's National Research Network (RNP), an academic network that coordinated actions toward setting up the country's national internet backbone. He was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2017.
Biography
Takahashi was the founder and the first director of the National Research Network (RNP), a Brazilian academic network that in the early days of the internet coordinated with other national academic networks to form what would become the backbone of the global internet and the foundation for Brazilian internet. At the RNP, he advanced an inclusive and bottom-up approach to network management that was one of the earliest models for global internet governance before the model developed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). He was associated with the organization from 1989 to 1996.
Takahashi was also the founder and chair of the National Program for the Information Society (SOCINFO), a Brazilian initiative to expand the penetration of the internet in key sectors, including healthcare, education, and government services. He also advanced key Information and communications technology policy initiatives of multilateral bodies including the United Nations, World Economic Forum, and the European Commission, towards promoting the uptake of internet within Brazil as a contributor to its social and economic development. In his contributions towards enabling internet access in some of the most remote regions of Latin America, he was noted to have even negotiated with drug lords to seek their permission to install equipment in order to enable internet access in areas controlled by them. He was a member of Brazil's Internet Steering Committee between 1995 and 1996, and later from 1999 to 2002. He was also a member of the ICANN's membership advisory committee in 1999.
Takahashi was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame as a global connector in 2017. He held degrees in computer science, social communication, and informatics from University of Campinas, Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, and Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan, respectively.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainalysis | Chainalysis is an American blockchain analysis firm headquartered in New York City. The company was co-founded by Michael Gronager, Jan Moller and Jonathan Levin in 2014, and is the first start-up company dedicated to the business of Bitcoin tracing. It offers compliance and investigation software to analyze the blockchain public ledger, which is primarily used to track virtual currencies. Next to banks and brokers its customers have included the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, as well as the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency.
History
Chainalysis was formed to be the official investigator of the hack of cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox when Gronager was the COO of Kraken, which was then employed by the bankruptcy trustee for Mt. Gox to investigate the hack.
The company developed proprietary financial crime investigation software which monitors cryptocurrency's public ledger, forming the first full view of transactions on the blockchain.
In March 2021, it partnered with crypto compliance company Notabene to comply with the FATF's Travel Rule across jurisdictions. American business publication Fast Company referred to this partnership one of the top 10 most innovative joint ventures of 2022.
Noted investigations
Chainalysis has helped law enforcement recover cryptocurrencies from illegal enterprises, including, in 2020, assisting law enforcement to recover over $1 billion from the take-down of the dark web marketplace Silk Road.
In October 2019, the company helped the United States Department of Justice shut down the world's then-largest child abuse website.
It also aided in the attribution of seven 2021 cryptocurrency thefts to the North Korean Lazarus Group.
Working with American investigators and the South Korean National Intelligence Service, the company tracked $100 million stolen from a California cryptocurrency firm Harmony to North Korean hackers, who have stolen billions of dollars from banks and cryptocurrency firms, funding its illegal missile program. $1 million of the stolen funds were recovered in April 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Endless%20Grind | The Endless Grind is a Canadian comedy anthology television series, which aired on The Comedy Network in 2001. Created by Greg Lawrence, a producer also known for Kevin Spencer and Butch Patterson: Private Dick, the series was conceived as a set of "short stories" about various characters linked by their shared patronage of a neighbourhood coffee shop; a black comedy which Lawrence described as "a weird hybrid of sketch, sitcom and short film", each segment centred on an incident in the lives of a patron of the coffee shop, such as a couple debating whether to abort the puppies when they discover that their dog is pregnant.
Actors appearing in the series included Sally Clelford, David L. McCallum, Karl Claude, David Elver, Dwayne Hill, Frank McAnulty, Robert Reynolds, Grahame Wood, Norm Berketa, Dawn Ford, L. Dean Ifill, Mark Whitbread, Raoul Bhaneja, Stefan Brogren, Christy Bruce, Fiona Carver, Tracy Dawson, Peter Michael Dillon, Vicki Essex, Marc Hickox, Claudia Jurt, Alyssa Lawrence, Krista Morin, Junior Williams, Mike Beaver, Samantha Bee, James Bradford, Danielle Brett, Bernard Browne, Pina Di Blasi, Jayne Eastwood, Dean Hagopian, Allana Harkin, Jessica Holmes, Albert Howell, Karen Ivany, Jason Jones, Meghanne Kessels, Sheila McCarthy, Mike McPhaden, Duane Murray, John Ng, Rebecca Northan, Peter Oldring and Jonathan Wilson.
The series was shot on the campus of Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario.
At the 17th Gemini Awards in 2002, Eastwood was nominated for Best Individual Performance in a Comedy Program or Series and Lawrence was nominated for Best Direction in a Comedy Program or Series. However, Lawrence joked that he had been nominated only so that Made in Canada wouldn't get all the slots in the category. Lawrence also received two Canadian Comedy Award nominations at the 3rd Canadian Comedy Awards, for Best Direction in a Series and Best Direction in a Special Episode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playdata%20charts | Playdata charts was a weekly airplay chart, measuring songs being played on the radio, and television stations in Nigeria, and published on its website, with data gathered from its proprietary PlayData Broadcast Monitoring service. It provides a weekly top 100 airplay chart (previously top 10 until 2017), and a yearly top 40 chart (previously top 100 unit 2017). Its first chart issue was released on 10 January 2016, led by Adekunle Gold "Pick Up". It serves as Nigeria's airplay chart from 10 January 2016, to 31 December 2017.
Overview
Playdata was founded in 2015 by eLDee, and Kingsley Offor, as a cloud-based broadcast monitoring software. In 2016, it chart began full operation tracking Television and Radio airplay. Playdata provides intellectual property information on play count, where they are played from, and on (TV/Radio stations). On 20 March 2015, Playdata had monitored 23 Ad's campaigns, 5,236 musical works. It released a report, monitoring 5,000 radio or TV stations across two continents, which is just 2000+ lower than the number of radio stations being tracked by Digital Radio Tracker. Kingsley Offor who became the first CEO of Playdata was succeeded by eLDee, on 20 January 2016, after he retired as a musician.
In February 2016, at the Future of Music in Africa at Social Media Week Lagos, eLDee shares demo insight about Playdata and shows artists statistics of how many times their music is played on radio stations, during the presentation. On 10 February 2016, Playdata was introduced to Spinlet, a now defunct music streaming company. In 2018, Playdata was defunct shortly after publishing its second edition of the Year-end chart of 2017, titled Top 40 songs on Nigerian radio, in the week of January 1, 2018, led by Davido "If".
On 24 March 2018, Playdata presented the “Artist of the Year” plague to Wizkid, as the most played artist on Nigerian radio in 2017.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common%20data%20model | A common data model (CDM) can refer to any standardised data model which allows for data and information exchange between different applications and data sources. Common data models aim to standardise logical infrastructure so that related applications can "operate on and share the same data", and can be seen as a way to "organize data from many sources that are in different formats into a standard structure".
A common data model has been described as one of the components of a "strong information system". A standardised common data model has also been described as a typical component of a well designed agile application besides a common communication protocol. Providing a single common data model within an organisation is one of the typical tasks of a data warehouse.
Examples of common data models
Border crossings
X-trans.eu was a cross-border pilot project between the Free State of Bavaria (Germany) and Upper Austria with the aim of developing a faster procedure for the application and approval of cross-border large-capacity transports. The portal was based on a common data model that contained all the information required for approval.
Climate data
The Climate Data Store Common Data Model is a common data model set up by the Copernicus Climate Change Service for harmonising essential climate variables from different sources and data providers.
General information technology
Within service-oriented architecture, S-RAMP is a specification released by HP, IBM, Software AG, TIBCO, and Red Hat which defines a common data model for SOA repositories as well as an interaction protocol to facilitate the use of common tooling and sharing of data.
Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is an open standard for inter-operation of different content management systems over the internet, and provides a common data model for typed files and folders used with version control.
The NetCDF software libraries for array-oriented scientific data implements a common data model called the NetCDF Java common data model, which consists of three layers built on top of each other to add successively richer semantics.
Health
Within genomic and medical data, the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) research program established under the U.S. National Institutes of Health has created a common data model for claims and electronic health records which can accommodate data from different sources around the world. PCORnet, which was developed by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, is another common data model for health data including electronic health records and patient claims. The Sentinel Common Data Model was initially started as Mini-Sentinel in 2008. It is used by the Sentinel Initiative of the USA's Food and Drug Administration. The Generalized Data Model was first published in 2019. It was designed to be a stand-alone data model as well as to allow for further transformation into other data models (e.g., OMOP, PCORNet |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIPM%20Jazz%20Periodicals | RIPM Jazz Periodicals is a searchable database of full-text, mostly out-of-print, rare jazz periodicals, published by Répertoire international de la presse musicale (Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals), commonly known as RIPM. Updated annually with new full-text journals including full citations, RIPM Jazz Periodicals currently contains 119 American (U.S.) jazz journals and magazines published from 1914 to 2010. A full list of titles, including publication information and sample journal covers, is available on the RIPM Jazz gallery page.
Background
RIPM Jazz Periodicals was developed to preserve and provide access to the historic jazz periodical literature in order to facilitate the study of jazz history and to address a number of longstanding issues that rendered this large body of literature unavailable: (i) most jazz journals and magazines are out-of-print, in poor physical condition, and/or found in very few libraries; (ii) the lack of complete runs; (iii) the difficulty encountered when one attempts to locate specific information within an available source; and, (iv) the difficulty distinguishing those publications that are significant from those of lesser interest, aside from a handful of recognized titles.
Collaborators
In 2014 RIPM and the Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS) at Rutgers University-Newark signed an agreement to collaborate on the creation of RIPM Jazz Periodicals. In addition, through RIPM’s Partner and Participating Library Program, RIPM gained access to journals in a number of other collections including those of the Library of Congress, Yale University, the University of North Texas, the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Oberlin College, and the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University—all holding material that complements the IJS collection.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premios%20Tu%20M%C3%BAsica%20Urbano | The Premios Tu Música Urbano is an award presented by television network Telemundo Puerto Rico to recognize artists who "transcended and boosted the success of Latin urban music around the world." The show is held annually at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in Puerto Rico since 2019, is produced by Telemundo, Sora & Company and Mr. & Mrs. Entertainment, and is broadcast by Telemundo Puerto Rico in Latin America and by Telemundo in the United States. The awards were created in response to the lack of representation of reggaeton and Latin trap artists in the Latin Grammy Awards main categories and the absence of a separate Latin urban category at the Grammy Awards.
History
Following the exclusion of urban nominations in the Album, Record and Song of the Year categories for the 20th Latin Grammy Awards, Colombian singer J Balvin posted an image depicting a crossed-out gramophone with the caption "Sin reggaeton, no hay Latin Grammy" ("Without reggaeton, there are no Latin Grammys"). The message was soon endorsed by other reggaeton artists, including Puerto Rican rappers Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderón, American singer Nicky Jam, Colombian singers Karol G and Maluma and Puerto Rican singer Farruko, who criticized its lack of nominations despite it being one of the most popular genres in the world.
Billboards vice president for Latin music, Leila Cobo, supported their discontent, writing that the "Latin Academy has never shown much fondness for reggaeton as a genre" and proposed the creation of a "Latin Grammy reggaeton task force" in order to "foster diversity". The Latin Recording Academy responded the controversy by stating that its members "select what they believe merits a nomination" and invited the "leaders of the urban community to get involved" with the nomination process, since "many" reggaeton artists were not registered Latin Grammy voters and "many independent labels and producers [had] no notion of the process of submitting product and becoming a voting member".
The Latin Recording Academy was also accused of "whitewashing" due to Spanish artists Alejandro Sanz and Rosalía receiving the most nominations at the 20th Latin Grammy Awards. The Grammy Awards' Recording Academy was also criticized for its Best Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Album category, to which Rebeca León, J Balvin's manager and member of the academy's diversity and inclusion task force, referred to as Mexican rock band Zoé competing against J Balvin or American pop rock group Panic! At The Disco versus rapper Travis Scott. She also questioned the absence of a separate Latin urban category. Rolling Stones Suzy Exposito criticized the Best Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Album category for being a "hodgepodge".
In response to the lack of nominees and awards for reggaeton and Latin trap at the Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards, Telemundo Puerto Rico announced the Premios Tu Música Urbano to honor Latin urban music artists. Previously, a short-lived Latin urban-oriented |

Songs from various artists, including T.I., Los Campesinos!, Sigur Rós, Talking Heads, Grimes, Le Tigre, BTS, The Mae Shi and Madeon, were incorporated in the film.
Development
Following the release of the film's first trailer in March 2020, one of the film's producers Phil Lord confirmed on Twitter, that his and Christopher Miller's regular collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh would score music for the film, also making it his sixth collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation, after the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs films and the first three Hotel Transylvania films. According to Variety, Mothersbaugh stated that each family member had their score in the beginning. For Rick Mitchell's character, he created the score cue by blending ukulele, guitar, banjo and harmonica and for Katie's character, he produced the score from woodwinds, while the kids had a "younger sound with electronica (modern instrumentation)" and synth sounds were created for the dysfunctional robots, to make sure that the listeners think about music in different ways. Mothersbaugh stated that "It's like you have 100 people sitting in a room and they’re waiting for the countdown to start playing. There’s people breathing, their hearts are beating and blood’s pumping through them. That’s part of the music."
Kier Lehman was the music supervisor, who had incorporated specific songs from the film, which Mike Rianda had stated "if basically, the movie felt like someone’s personal playlist, it would feel like gratifying. Just like when I watch a Wes Anderson movie or Quentin Tarantino movie, it’s like, I might not know about the songs, but I’m like, 'This person loves these songs.' Like you could feel it. They're these deep cuts on the album, and they're not these like obvious songs. And so, we basically wanted to try to do that with the movie. And it was tough. I mean, because sometimes the song you want isn't easy to get. The artist doesn't want to release it, or it just doesn't work in the moment or something." So he worked with Lehman for the supervision, whom regularly worked in Lord and Miller's films. Rianda stated that "He’s so cool, and he could get us all the songs that we wanted and sort of figure out how to make it all work."
An original song, "On My Way" performed by Alex Lahey was included in the film, and was released separately, as a lyrical music video on May 6, 2021. Lahey had stated the track as "a song about new beginnings. I really wanted to capture Katie’s sense of urgency to grow up and expand her horizons while being grateful of where |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude%20Woodcock%20Seibert | Gertrude Woodcock Seibert (November 16, 1864 – June 13, 1928) was an American writer. Initially known for her poetry, she became a compiler of religious texts.
Biography
Gertrude Antonette (or "Antoinette") Woodcock was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania on November 16, 1864. Her parents were Samuel M. Woodcock, a lawyer, and Elizabeth (Etnier) Woodcock.
She graduated from Altoona High School (1880) and Wellesley College (B.S., 1885).
On September 18, 1890, in Altoona, she married Robert S. Seibert. He later became president of East Shade Gap Railroad Company, Rockhill Iron and Coal Company, and Shade Gap Railroad Company.
Since 1894, Seibert was engaged in non-denominational Bible study and private lectures on religious topics. After joining the Bible Students, she compiled Daily Heavenly Manna for the Household of Faith in 1905, also translating it into German, Swedish, and Norwegian, and Instructor's Guide and Berean Topical Index for the Berean Bible in 1907.
Seibert contributed to various newspapers (religious articles exclusively) and wrote religious poems and hymns. In 1909, she published the booklet Sweet Brier Rose (500,000 printed). In 1912, she compiled Poems of Dawn. She also published the booklet In the Garden of the Lord (in illustrated form). Seibert did considerable art work in the line of decorated and illustrated motto cards; a 1905 design of chestnut burrs, illustrating "In Due Time", was printed in an edition of 15,000.
Seibert was also an active member of the International Bible Students Association. She was opposed to woman suffrage on Scriptural grounds.
Gertrude Seibert died on June 13, 1928, at Miami Beach, Florida.

In October 2021, it was announced Seven Network had once again picked up the series for its eleventh season, set to broadcast in 2022. At the same time, it was announced that Keith Urban, Jessica Mauboy, Rita Ora, and Guy Sebastian would all return as coaches. Sonia Kruger was also announced to return as host.
Similar to last season, the finale was pre-recorded and the winner was determined by a viewer poll. Lachie Gill was declared the winner, marking Rita Ora's first win as a coach and the second winning artist that had a coach blocked during his/her blind audition (Rita Ora blocking Guy Sebastian), after Bella Taylor Smith in the previous season.

Blind auditions
In the blind auditions, the coaches complete their teams with 12 members each. Each coach can block another two times and the coach who is blocked is unable to pitch for the artist. However, new to this season, a coach can block at any time, even during their pitch as long as the blocker turned his/her chair. Also, this season introduces the Battle Pass. In this twist, coaches will have a new button, in addition to the main button and the block buttons. The Battle Pass allows a coach to automatically send the contestant to the battles. Each coach could only press the button for one artist in the entire phase.
Callbacks
The Callbacks aired on 4 May. In this round, each coach needs to trim down their artists from 12 down to 6. Shaun Wessel, Faith Sosene, Celestial Utai, and Theoni Marks have been given Battle Passes from their coaches. This allows them to skip the Callbacks, and go straight to the battles.
Each coach splits the remaining eleven team members into groups of three or four. Those three or four artists then take to the stage together and each performs a different song based on the theme selected by the coaches. In each group, the coach can select one, two, or all of them; as long as each coach has selected five artists to advance to the battles.
In total, only six from each team will advance to the battle rounds: five selected by the coach in the callbacks (with some reprising their blind audition song and not required to perform in the sing-off in front of an audience) and the Battle Pass recipient. The artists not chosen in this round will be eliminated.
Battles
The Battles aired on 8 May and 15 May. In the battles, coaches are to cut their team from 6 to 3 by pairing two of their artists to sing the same song as a duet.
Team Guy and Keith performed on the first night of battles and Team Jess and Rita performed on the second night.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK%20National%20Authority%20for%20Counter%20Eavesdropping | The UK National Authority for Counter-Eavesdropping (UK NACE) is one of the three specialist UK National Technical Authorities in the UK Government Security ecosystem, alongside the National Cyber Security Centre and National Protective Security Authority. UK NACE specialises in technical security, the practice of protecting sensitive information and technology from close access acquisition by hostile threat actors, as well as from any other form of technical manipulation. The aim of UK NACE is to help develop the standards for UK government technical security, provides training and mentoring to national and international partners and carries out research and development of new threats and countermeasure technologies. UK NACE sits under the umbrella of the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, as part of FCDO Services.
History
UK NACE evolved from the Diplomatic Wireless Service of Bletchley Park in the 1940s. It started in 1945 after it was found that British embassies in the USSR had been subject to technical espionage. The Foreign Secretary at the time, Ernest Bevin, sent a group of Post Office engineers to certain locations to do "conservative electrical maintenance" on the telephone and telegraphy systems, and "some preventative work such as anti-eavesdropping".
In 1958, UK NACE was recognised as a national authority by the Cabinet Office. From 1960, UK NACE was a part of MI5 before moving back to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development office in 1969. In 2008, FCDO Services became a trading fund, allowing UK NACE to offer their services to other government departments, law enforcement and some List X companies.
In 2020, UK NACE became a public authority under Schedule 4 of the Investigatory Powers Act, with the power to authorise collection of communications data in support of national security.
Operations
UK NACE's main aims are to ensure that the most sensitive, classified areas within the UK government estate are protected. Their services include:
vulnerability analysis
inspections
defensive monitoring
construction security
installations
support for UK government at national and international conferences
UK NACE's operational officers primarily focus on three areas of technical security for the UK government and its partners:
technical surveillance countermeasures
in-place monitoring systems
site security management
TEMPEST training
UK NACE provides specialist training to individuals working in the field of technical security, or who may have need to identify threats and put in place countermeasures to combat them. The training is open to people who are either a UK citizen, or citizen of a NATO / EU member country and who work in a role that requires access to NATO TEMPEST policy standards. It is assured under the National Cyber Security Centre's Certified Training scheme.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word%20n-gram%20language%20model | A word n-gram language model is a purely statistical model of language. It has been superseded by recurrent neural network-based models, which has been superseded by large language models. It is based on an assumption that the probability of the next word in a sequence depends only on a fixed size window of previous words. If only one previous word was considered, it was called a bigram model; if two words, a trigram model; if n-1 words, an n-gram model. Special tokens were introduced to denote the start and end of a sentence and .
To prevent a zero probability being assigned to unseen words, each word's probability is slightly lower than its frequency count in a corpus. To calculate it, various methods were used, from simple "add-one" smoothing (assign a count of 1 to unseen n-grams, as an uninformative prior) to more sophisticated models, such as Good–Turing discounting or back-off models.
Unigram model
A special case, where n=0, is called a unigram model. Probability of each word in a sequence is independent from probabilities of other word in the sequence. Each word's probability in the sequence is equal to the word's probability in an entire document.
The model consists of units, each treated as one-state finite automata. Words with their probabilities in a document can be illustrated as follows.
Total mass of word probabilities distributed across the document's vocabulary, is 1.
The probability generated for a specific query is calculated as
Unigram models of different documents have different probabilities of words in it. The probability distributions from different documents are used to generate hit probabilities for each query. Documents can be ranked for a query according to the probabilities. Example of unigram models of two documents:
Bigram model
In a bigram word (n = 2) language model, the probability of the sentence I saw the red house is approximated as
Trigram model
In a trigram (n = 3) language model, the approximation is
Note that the context of the first n – 1 n-grams is filled with start-of-sentence markers, typically denoted <s>.
Additionally, without an end-of-sentence marker, the probability of an ungrammatical sequence *I saw the would always be higher than that of the longer sentence I saw the red house.
Approximation method
The approximation method calculates the probability of observing the sentence
It is assumed that the probability of observing the ith word wi (in the context window consisting of the preceding i − 1 words) can be approximated by the probability of observing it in the shortened context window consisting of the preceding n − 1 words (nth-order Markov property). To clarify, for n = 3 and i = 2 we have .
The conditional probability can be calculated from n-gram model frequency counts:
Out-of-vocabulary words
An issue when using n-gram language models are out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. They are encountered in computational linguistics and natural language processing when th |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliable%20Data%20Transfer | Reliable Data Transfer is a topic in computer networking concerning the transfer of data across unreliable channels. Unreliability is one of the drawbacks of packet switched networks such as the modern internet, as packet loss can occur for a variety of reasons, and delivery of packets is not guaranteed to happen in the order that the packets were sent. Therefore, in order to create long-term data streams over the internet, techniques have been developed to provide reliability, which are generally implemented in the Transport layer of the internet protocol suite.
In instructional materials, the topic is often presented in the form of theoretical example protocols which are themselves referred to as "RDT", in order to introduce students to the problems and solutions encountered in Transport layer protocols such as the Transmission Control Protocol. These sources often describe a pseudo-API and include Finite-state machine diagrams to illustrate how such a protocol might be implemented, as well as a version history. These details are generally consistent between sources, yet are often left uncited, so the origin of this theoretical RDT protocol is unclear.
Example Versions
Sources that describe an example RDT protocol often provide a "version history" to illustrate the development of modern Transport layer techniques, generally resembling the below:
Reliable Data Transfer 1.0
With Reliable Data Transfer 1.0, the data can only be transferred via a reliable data channel. It is the most simple of the Reliable Data Transfer protocols in terms of algorithm processing.
Reliable Data Transfer 2.0
Reliable Data Transfer 2.0 supports reliable data transfer in unreliable data channels. It uses a checksum to detect errors. The receiver sends acknowledgement message if the message is complete, and if the message is incomplete, it sends a negative acknowledgement message and requests the data again.
Reliable Data Transfer 2.1
Reliable Data Transfer 2.1 also supports reliable data transfers in unreliable data channels and uses a checksum to detect errors. However, to prevent duplicate messages, it adds a sequence number to each packet. The receiver sends acknowledgement message with corresponding sequence ID if the data is complete, and sends a negative acknowledgement message with corresponding sequence ID and asks the sender to send again if the message is not complete.
Reliable Data Transfer 3.0
Reliable Data Transfer 3.0, like earlier versions of the protocol, supports reliable data transfer in unreliable data channels, uses checksums to check for errors, and adds sequence numbers to data packets. Additionally, it includes a countdown timer to detect packet loss. If the sender cannot acknowledge specific data in a certain duration, it will consider as packet as lost and will send it again.

History
According to unconfirmed data, in 1600 Dominican monks settled here, who in 1610 moved to Chortkiv. In 1912, the Dominican Fathers built and consecrated the branch church of the parish in Chortkiv (parish church — the church of St. Stanislaus) in Shmankivtsi at their own expense.
In Soviet times, the shrine was closed — it made a granary.
In 1986, the returned church was renovated. The parish has 7 members.
The church is cared for by Roman Catholic believers who serve in it.
Description
The church is one-nave, brick, plastered, in its modest architecture there are neo-Gothic features (pointed ends of the entrance portal, windows). Each of the surfaces of the side facades is divided by two pilasters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam%20D.%20Mann | Miriam Daniel Mann (1907–1967) was one of the first Black female computers for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).
Biography
Mann was born in 1907, in Covington, Georgia. She attended Talladega College. She was married to Bill Mann, with whom she had three children. In 1943, in the wake of labor shortages caused by World War II, Mann responded to a recruitment drive for Black female mathematicians by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). She subsequently attended a 10-week training course at Hampton Institute and was accepted for a position as a "human computer". At the time she was hired the state of Virginia was segregated, as was the NACA campus at Langley, Virginia. Mann repeatedly removed the "COLORED COMPUTERS" sign segregating the cafeteria. The sign was replaced each time until Mann removed it a final time and it was never replaced.
Mann worked for NACA (which became NASA in 1958) until her retirement in 1966. She died in 1967.
In 2017 Mann's granddaughter Duchess Harris co-authored a book with Sue Bradford Edwards entitled Hidden Human Computers: The Black Women of NASA. In 2018 the Virginia Capitol Foundation announced that Mann's name would be on the Virginia Women's Monument's glass Wall of Honor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niloufar%20Salehi | Niloufar Salehi is an American-Iranian computer scientist who is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of California, Berkeley. She works on human–computer interaction in a broad array of sectors.
Early life and education
Salehi became interested in mathematics as a teenager. She was an undergraduate student in Iran and studied computer engineering at Sharif University of Technology. She completed her doctoral research at Stanford University. She studied and developed technologies to enable the organizing of communities online. During her doctorate she create Hive, a system that places communities into small teams, then rotates team membership (using an optimization algorithm) to intermix viewpoints. Hive was used by Mozilla when they were working on improving accessibility to Firefox. As a doctoral researcher, Salehi worked on Dynamo, an organizing platform for Amazon Mechanical Turk workers.
Research and career
Salehi was appointed a professor at the University of California, Berkeley in 2018. She studies human–computer interaction and human centred AI. In 2020, Salehi was awarded a National Science Foundation grant to investigate restorative justice, and evaluate how it can be used to investigate conflicts on social media. She has studied YouTube's recommendation algorithms and how social media content creators navigate their online experiences.
Salehi was supported by Facebook Research to investigate how Muslims tackle anti-Muslim hate speech online. Her research revealed that there was organized targeting of Muslims, and that Muslim Americans were constantly trying to re-claim their narrative. For instance, in response to one of Trump's presidential debates, Muslim Americans shared their experiences of Islamophobia sometimes using humor. She simultaneously started working on an investigation into the impact of school assignment algorithms in the San Francisco Unified School District. The findings were used to encourage community engagement in the design of school zones.
In 2022, Salehi started working with Timnit Gebru on an effective automatic translation tool for high-stake settings, for example, in hospitals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATT%26CK | The Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge or MITRE ATT&CK is a guideline for classifying and describing cyberattacks and intrusions. It was created by the Mitre Corporation and released in 2013.
Rather than looking at the results of an attack (aka an indicator of compromise (IoC)), it identifies tactics that indicate an attack is in progress. Tactics are the “why” of an attack technique.
The framework consists of 14 tactics categories consisting of "technical objectives" of an adversary. Examples include privilege escalation and command and control. These categories are then broken down further into specific techniques and sub-techniques.
The framework is an alternative to the Cyber Kill Chain developed by Lockheed Martin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NordLayer | NordLayer, formerly known as NordVPN Teams, is a network access security service with applications for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. The software is marketed as a privacy and security tool running on zero trust architecture providing protection on hybrid and multi-cloud cloud environments.
It is developed by Nord Security (Nordsec Ltd), a company that creates cybersecurity software, and was initially supported by the Lithuanian startup accelerator and business incubator Tesonet.
History
NordLayer was founded in 2019 as NordVPN Teams as a subsidiary of NordSecurity, a technology company that develops and provides virtual private network (VPN) services, such as NordVPN and SurfShark.
NordLayer is based on NordVPN, a VPN service provider for private customers, which was established in 2012.
In October 2020, NordVPN Team relocated to the United States as part of a larger effort to expand its operations and better serve its enterprise clients. Nevertheless, Nordlayer committed to maintaining its Panamanian corporate structure, allowing it to remain outside the jurisdiction of the Fourteen Eyes intelligence sharing pact, which includes the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and other countries.
In September 2021, the NordVPN Teams were renamed to NordLayer. The rebranding was part of their transition towards secure access service edge (SASE) framework.
Products
NordLayer is based on a cloud-based cybersecurity architecture, secure access service edge (SASE), which enables cloud-based platform for remote access to corporate networks.
Nordlayer offers a Single Sign-On (SSO) login option to its users, allowing users to log into multiple applications using a single set of login credentials. SSO logins are currently supported through various providers, including Google SSO, Azure AD, Okta, and OneLogin. NordLayer supports various second-factor confirmation methods, including SMS authentication, Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) authentication, and biometric authentication.
NordLayer enforces Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), which is based on the principle "Never trust – always verify".
This systems secure model uses continuous authentication and identity verification to grant access to network resources. NordLayer employs the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit keys and the ChaCha20 stream cipher.
It includes features such as two-factor (2FA), kill switch, IP whitelisting, DDoS protection and hardware firewall monitoring to detect botnet attacks.
NordLayer's Cloud Firewall provides features such as application control, bandwidth management, and logging capabilities.
The NordLayer platform enables IT administrators to add, remove, or transfer user accounts, dedicated servers, or custom gateways — with static or dedicated IP addresses — for specific teams to remotely access a company's LAN. In addition, network administrators have the ability to monitor user activity and obtain information abou |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAAM%20II | SAAM II, short for "Simulation Analysis and Modeling" version 2.0, is a renowned computer program designed for scientific research in the field of bioscience. It is a descriptive and exploratory tool in drug development, tracers, metabolic disorders, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics research.
It is grounded in the principles of multi-compartment model theory, which is a widely-used approach for modeling complex biological systems. SAAM II facilitates the construction and simulation of models, providing researchers with a friendly user interface allowing the quick run and multi-fitting of simple and complex (linear and nonlinear) structures and data. SAAM II is used by many Pharma and Pharmacy Schools as a drug development, research, and educational tool.
Features
The compartmental module
SAAM II offers a user-friendly interface that eliminates the need for coding. Within the compartmental module, users can construct models effortlessly by drag-and-dropping various model components, such as circles, arrows, and boxes. To simulate the model's behavior, creating model conditions is a straightforward process. By employing drag-and-drop experiment-building icons, users can directly specify inputs and sampling sites with ease.
The non-compartmental module (numerical module)
The Numerical module is also available but less frequently used; it lets you write directly the equations of the model or model directly the data by predefined functions. The latter allows you to carry out a non-compartmental analysis of the data.
popKinetics add-on
Funded by NIH, popKinetics is specifically developed for population analysis of compartmental models built within SAAM II. popKinetics offers the computation of two approaches for population parameter estimation: the Standard Two-Stage and Iterative Two-Stage methods. The Two-Stage methods may be favored when simplicity, computational efficiency, and minimal assumptions are desired in analyzing the population.
Validation
The results obtained from SAAM II have received indirect validation through extensive usage over many years, replication of modeling in other programs, and publication in peer-reviewed journals. Validation of the software's numerical performance was carried out against WinNonlin. In general, there was good agreement (<1% difference) between SAAM II and WinNonlin in terms of parameter estimates and model predictions.

Kitchenham et al. suggest that methodologically there is no difference between a systematic review and a tertiary review. However, as the software engineering community has started performing tertiary reviews new concerns unique to tertiary reviews have surfaced. These include the challenge of quality assessment of systematic reviews, search validation and the additional risk of double counting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20PS/2%20Model%2030 | The Personal System/2 Model 30 and Personal System/2 Model 30 286 are IBM's entry-level desktop computers in their Personal System/2 (PS/2) family of personal computers. As opposed to higher-end entries in the PS/2 line which use Micro Channel bus architecture, the Model 30 features an Industry Standard Architecture bus, allowing it to use expansion cards from its direct predecessors, the PC/XT and the PC/AT. The original PS/2 Model 30 is built upon the Intel 8086 microprocessor clocked at 8 MHz; the Model 30 286 features the Intel 80286 clocked at 10 MHz.
Development and release
The PS/2 Model 30 was introduced in April 1987 alongside the Model 50 and Model 60—entries in the PS/2 line which feature the new Micro Channel architecture bus, as opposed to the Model 30's Industry Standard Architecture bus previously used in IBM's PC/XT. The Model 30 is the most entry-level in the PS/2 lineup, with the dual-floppy-drive unit costing 1,695 and the floppy–hard drive combo unit costing 2,295—compared to $3,595 for the basic Model 50. With a variant of the Intel 8086 microprocessor clocked at 8 MHz, the Model 30 is rated roughly two-and-a-half times faster than its predecessors, according to IBM, while occupying a chassis roughly half the size. The Model 30 marks the first time IBM used this variant, known as the 8086-2, in a PC; the chip die was nearly nine years old by the time of the Model 30's introduction.
Manufacturing of the Model 30 was initially performed at IBM's facility in Boca Raton, Florida, by a core team of around 50 workers. IBM's engineers consolidated several off-the-shelf chips from their previous PCs into VLSI packages and designed the system board to take surface-mount devices—two strategies in wide use among PC clone manufacturers by the time of the Model 30's release. On launch day, 70,000 units of the entire PS/2 line—including the Model 30—were delivered to IBM dealers in the United States. In June 1987, manufacturing of the Model 30 was moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, with IBM offering all of the core team the option to transfer to the Raleigh facility. Computer industry analysts speculated that this relocation was to free up production lines of a newer, more advanced entry in the PS/2 family, at Boca Raton, where the Models 50, 60, and 80 were also being made. The Raleigh plant manufactured 2,000 Model 30s daily in June 1987, compared to 1,000 Model 50s and 800 Model 60s produced daily simultaneously in Boca Raton.
IBM introduced "financial workstation" versions of the Model 30 in November 1987. These Model 30s were intended for bank tellers and came packaged with a 50-key function keypad.
In September 1988, IBM launched the PS/2 Model 30 286, which features the Intel 80286 microprocessor, clocked at 10 MHz. Per the updated microprocessor's 16-bit external data bus, the Model 30 286 also sports 16-bit ISA expansion slots, allowing the computer to use expansion cards designed for the PC/AT; the original Model 30 has 8-bit |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noclip.website | noclip.website is an online video game map viewer created in 2018, allowing visitors to browse a selection of datamined levels from several games and travel through them in noclip mode without being hindered by walls, objects or gravity. It therefore allows exploration in ways not intended by the game's developers, providing new insights into their layout, development process, and content. The site was programmed by JasperRLZ and a team of contributors, and predominantly features Nintendo games, although it also contains other titles, such as Dark Souls. The site was praised by critics for allowing visitors to explore levels from classic games, and its implementation of bespoke solutions allowing maps from each game to run properly within the same viewer.
Content
noclip.website is open-source software. When visiting the site, a list of levels is presented, and the visitor may select one level at a time to view, navigating it using WASD and mouse controls similar to those of an ingame noclip mode. While most of the levels supported are from Nintendo games, maps from titles such as Psychonauts are viewable in the website.
Due to programming differences in the various video games supported by the site, workarounds had to be created for certain games to allow their maps to be viewed. For example, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker's cel-shaded art style required a unique lighting model to work properly, as well as collision models to prevent plant models from falling through the ground. Some maps allow interaction in order to induce changes in the map; such as Pokémon Snap's levels allowing viewers to throw fruit like in the game in order to unlock new scenarios.
In 2019, JasperRLZ successfully added the maps of Katamari Damacy to the website after offering a $500 bounty for developers to datamine them from the game's code, which had never previously been done. The process was described as difficult due to the files' unclear naming structure in comparison to Nintendo games.
Reception
The site was generally well received by critics, with Matt Leonard of GameRevolution describing it as "a cool way to experience levels from your favorite Nintendo games", although calling it "more exploratory than educational". Dustin Bailey of PCGamesN stated, in regards to the site, that he would "never not appreciate the new perspectives on old games we get from these community projects". Luke Plunkett of Kotaku called the site "very fun", describing exploring the levels as joyful and nostalgic.
Emma Kent of Eurogamer noted that the site provided users with the ability to explore maps from the perspective of a game designer, showing how they were constructed and the illusions used to make them believable. She also expressed the concern that Nintendo would "not be happy" about the site's existence. Ana Diaz of Polygon described the site as a "digital video game museum" and praised the ability to see old games from a new perspective, but criticized some maps as |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detention%20of%20Olga%20Mata | Olga Lucila Mata de Gil (born 1949) is a Venezuelan woman detained in April 2022 for recording a humorous video posted on the social network TikTok in which she names arepas after high-ranking government officials.
Process
On 13 April 2022, an arrest warrant was issued against Mata after she recorded a humorous video published on the social network TikTok two years prior in which she names different arepas with the name of high-ranking government officials and the type of filling they had. Her son, Florencio Gil Mata, was arrested, and both were charged with the crime of "promotion or instigation to hatred". Tarek William Saab, the Attorney General imposed by the 2017 Constituent National Assembly, set up the Special 4th Control Court "with competence in cases related to terrorism". William Saab subsequently released a video of Mata apologizing for the content of the video; the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Special Court agreed on a precautionary measure against her.
The non-governmental organization , dedicated to the promotion and defense of the freedom of speech, condemned the arrest and recalled that the "right to record and broadcast a video exercising the full enjoyment of freedom of expression in its individual and social dimension, through humor, is not a reason for arrest nor is it a crime".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio%20Lieto | Antonio Lieto (born December 18, 1983) is an Italian cognitive scientist and computer scientist at the University of Turin and a Research Associate at the Institute of High Performance Computing of the Italian National Research Council focusing on cognitive architectures and computational models of cognition, commonsense reasoning and models of mental representation, and persuasive technologies. He teaches Artificial Intelligence and "Design and Evaluation of Cognitive Artificial Systems" at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Turin.
Career and contributions
Before joining the University of Turin, he obtained his PhD from the University of Salerno with a thesis in knowledge representation. He is notable for his work on cognitively-inspired computational models of categorization integrating both prototypes and exemplars based strategies through the combination of Peter Gärdenfors conceptual spaces with large scale Description Logics ontologies like Cyc. His model, called DUAL PECCS, has been used to extend the categorization capabilities of different cognitive architectures.
He is also notable for the proposal of the Minimal Cognitive Grid as a methodological tool to rank the explanatory power of biologically and cognitively inspired artificial systems, and for the invention, with Gian Luca Pozzato, of a cognitively-inspired probabilistic description logics known as TCL (Typicality-based Compositional Logic) used for automated human-like knowledge invention and generation via conceptual blending and combination.
In the context of persuasive technologies he has shown, with Vernero, how arguments reducible to logical fallacies represent a class of widely adopted persuasive techniques in both web and mobile technologies. A 2021 report by the Rand Corporation has confirmed this insight by showing that the use of logical fallacies proposed by Lieto and Vernero is one of the rhetorical strategies for automated persuasion used by the Russian agents to influence the online discourse and spread subversive information in Europe.
Lieto has been Visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, at the University of Haifa and at Lund University and has been associate researcher and scientific consultant of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute). He has founded, in 2013,
the international series of workshops AIC on "Artificial Intelligence and Cognition".
Recognition
In 2020, he was awarded the ACM Distinguished Speaker status from the Association for Computing Machinery. In 2018, he was awarded the "Outstanding Research Award" from the BICA society (Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architecture Society) for his contribution in the area of cognitively inspired artificial systems. He was the vice-president of the Italian Association of Cognitive Science.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France%20Bleu%20Sud%20Lorraine | France Bleu Sud Lorraine is a regional radio station serving Southern Lorraine from studios in Nancy. It is part of the France Bleu network of regional radio stations in France.
History
The station was founded in October 1944 following the Battle of Nancy as Radio Nancy. The station was transferred over to the Radiodiffusion française (RDF) public institution on March 23, 1945. They established 9 different regional stations, including in Lorraine, where Radio Nancy became Radio Lorraine sometime in April 1945.
Radio Nancy's first studio was set up in the attic of the Hôtel des Postes in Place Saint Jean. The station then moved to Avenue Foch. The city of Nancy offered the disused galleries of its former thermal spa, Maison de la Radio de Nancy Thermal, in order to build the new studios. They were inaugurated on November 19, 1949.
In October 1953, the inauguration of the new Nomeny transmitter (power of 100 kW) allowed Radio Lorraine to be accessible to the Champagne-Ardenne region. It also was renamed to Radio-Lorraine-Champagne. It was broadcast on frequency modulation on the France Inter network. It was renamed Radio Nord-Est in 1972.
Following the breakup of the ORTF in July 1974, the regional radio stations were integrated into the new national France Régions 3 (FR3) service. It became FR3 Radio Grand-Est on April 7, 1975.
Under the audiovisual law of July 29, 1982, regional stations passed from FR3 to Radio France on January 1, 1983. FR3 Radio Grand-Est then went through 3 different names before settling on Radio Nancy Lorraine on April 6, 1992. It took its present name with the launch of France Bleu in 2000.
Following the launch of the new France Bleu network on September 4, 2000, it took its current name.
Programming and broadcasting
The regional programs of France Bleu Sud Lorraine are broadcast live from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 7 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on weekends. The national programs of the France Bleu network are broadcast the rest of the day and at night.
The station also broadcasts sport programs specific to Meurthe-et-Moselle and the Vosges, including match commentaries of the AS Nancy Lorraine men's football and SLUC Nancy Basket basketball teams.
From 2003 to 2017, the Nancy station produced various programs also broadcast on the frequencies of France Bleu Lorraine Nord under a syndication agreement.
Transmitters
In addition to two main transmitters—100.5 MHz from the Nancy-Malzéville transmitter, and 100.0 MHz from the Épinal transmitter, and in addition a network of local repeaters in the Vosges mountains.

Critical reception
"It wasn’t until a wave of scholarship arrived in the nineteen-nineties—the meticulous research done by the Women Film Pioneers Project, at Columbia, has been particularly important—that women’s outsized role in the origins of moviemaking came into focus again."—Margaret Talbot
"The Women Film Pioneers Project at Columbia University must be credited with undertaking and compiling much of the research to date."—Melody Bridges and Cheryl Robson
"There is criminally little research and writing on the often astounding careers of female editors. The same might well be said about many of their male counterparts, since most editors do tend to be unseen artists. Yet men came to dominate the field by the late 1920s and continue that hegemony today. Recent historians’ efforts have reclaimed some attention for many female filmmakers, especially in the area of silent film studies. The Women Film Pioneers Project at Columbia University (wfpp.cdrs.columbia.edu) is one of the best. Through efforts like this it is now well known that many women played central roles in the founding of the film industry."—Betsy A. McLane

The FSP is a movement designed to get libertarians to move to the state of New Hampshire. Kauffman was the Libertarian nominee in the 2022 United States Senate election in New Hampshire, losing to Democrat Maggie Hassan.
Early life
Kauffman was born on September 19, 1984. He earned two Bachelor of Science degrees in physics and computer science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Business career
Jeremy Kauffman was CEO of TopScore prior to formulating the idea for a version of YouTube that would be decentralized in its construction and operation. The result of this idea for a media and video viewing platform that claimed to be fully decentralized was called LBRY (pronounced as "library"). LBRY was launched in 2015. When asked about the purpose of LBRY and Odysee, Kauffman stated that while the LBRY blockchain could be used in a 'Wild West' kind of way, the main goal of the platform was to provide people with choices for content.
Following an investigation by the SEC regarding the issuance of a cryptocurrency token called "LBRY credit" (LBC)., a federal judge in November 2022 ruled that LBC is legally a security that requires regulation by the SEC. Kauffman has not yet commented on whether he intends to appeal the decision or to settle with the SEC but has said the decision "threatens the entire U.S. cryptocurrency industry" by classifying "almost every cryptocurrency" as a security. Upon hearing that Gary Gensler would be the head of the SEC, Kauffman was hopeful that an M.I.T. professor who specialized in cryptocurrency would be fair to the new industry and to not be "a complete sociopath."
Odysee, an open-source video-sharing website that uses the LBRY network, was also founded by Kauffman in 2020. While Kauffman has indicated that he would remove content from the Odysee platform that courts deem to be illegal, he has signaled support for the practice of putting 3D-printed gun blueprint files on the website by sharing such a file from his personal Twitter account.
Political activity
In 2018, Kauffman joined the board of directors of the non-profit, the Free State Project. Kauffman believes that the Free State Project is the most effective way for libertarians to achieve "liberty in our lifetimes" and has debated this assertion in a public forum. Kauffman is also a member of the Libertarian Party's Mises Caucus.
In April 2021, Kauffman was given access to Libertarian Party of New Hampshire (LPNH)'s official Twitter account soon after the state party was taken over by the Mises Caucus. Kauffman later made tweets on the LPNH account that received controversy, such as calling for child labor to be legalized, saying "All Republicans do about wokeness i |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off%20Base | Off Base is an American baseball commentary show on MLB Network. The show airs every weekday at 4:00 p.m. ET during the Major League Baseball regular season and is hosted by Lauren Gardner with analysis from Xavier Scruggs, Ariel Epstein, and various guest analysts. Off Base is a youth-oriented show featuring a segment highlighting the off-field fashion choices of MLB players and another segment dedicated to discussions about growing baseball's influence with younger audiences.
History
Off Base was announced as an addition to MLB Network's programming in April 2022, just after the 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout and prior to the start of the 2022 season. The show's direction was noted as being a part of MLB's efforts to address low viewership with younger audiences, particularly among Generation Z and Millennials. A poll conducted by Seton Hall University three months prior to the debut of the show found that MLB viewership was declining, particularly among younger fans.
Lauren Gardner, who has been an MLB Network personality since 2019, was tapped as the show's inaugural host. Former MLB first baseman Xavier Scruggs, baseball writer Hannah Keyser, and WFAN Radio sports radio host Keith McPherson joined the show as permanent analysts, with a fourth spot on the set left open for rotating guest analysts, which have included former MLB catcher Anthony Recker and actress Ellen Adair. The show debuted on April 11, 2022, from a new set at MLB Network's Studio 21 in Secaucus, New Jersey.
For the 2023 season, Keyser and McPherson's spots were vacated and left open for new rotating guest analysts, and the panel was joined by Yahoo! sports betting analyst Ariel Epstein.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEW%20Fight%20Forever | AEW Fight Forever is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke's and published by THQ Nordic. It is the debut title on home consoles and personal computers based on American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Plans of a game for the promotion were reported as early as October 2019 and officially announced in November 2020, with the game being the first wrestling game developed by Yuke's since 2018 with WWE 2K19, before the studio ended its working relationship with WWE. The game is heavily inspired by previous console generations of wrestling games, particularly WWF No Mercy for the Nintendo 64, with an arcade-style of gameplay with exaggerated wrestler appearances and presentation, as opposed to a more realistic simulation style of the developer's most recent previous wrestling games.
The game was released on June 29, 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch and received mixed reviews, being praised for its throwback style of arcade gameplay, but criticized for limited presentation, modes and customization.
Gameplay
Fight Forever features arcade-style gameplay, with different match types including singles match, tag team match, ladder match, Casino Battle Royale, and Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. The game also features online play and intergender wrestling, the first Yuke's game since WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 to do so. During November 10, 2020, at the AEW Games 1.0 Special Event, Kenny Omega confirmed that the game would be a spiritual successor to games like WWF No Mercy and Virtual Pro Wrestling, with gameplay in the style and veins as the AKI engine that ran those games.
A career mode entitled "Road to Elite" allows players to take a member of the AEW roster or their own created wrestler through the AEW schedule spanning across four blocks, taking place throughout 2019 and 2020, with each block corresponding to each of the four major AEW pay-per-view events: All Out, Full Gear, Revolution and Double or Nothing, with three storylines per block, for a total of sixteen storylines. Each block has four weeks, with the first three weeks taking place in AEW Dynamite and the fourth week being a PPV event. During each week, the chosen wrestler has four turns, simulating a daily life of an AEW wrestler, with an option to take on optional matches taking place in AEW Dark and AEW Rampage, as well as facing off against Kenny Omega (as a partner in 2v2 mini-games) and/or The Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson) in mini-games. Video packages chronicle the history of AEW, with the story beginning with Double or Nothing in 2019, placing the male player character in the Casino Battle Royale for a spot in the inaugural AEW World Championship match or the female player character in a Fatal-4-Way Match for a spot in the inaugural AEW Women's World Championship match at All Out. The story changes as a result of matches won or lost, and other player choice |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching%20logic | Matching logic is a formal logic mainly used to reason about the correctness of computer programs. Its operators use pattern matching to operate on the power set of states, rather than the set of states. It was created by Grigore Roșu and is used in the K Framework.
Overview
Matching logic operates on patterns. Statements evaluate to the set of values that "match" them, not to true or false.
Given a set of signatures , a pattern can be:
A variable:
A structure following signature using other patterns:
The complement of another pattern:
The intersection of two patterns:
A binding: with
A matching logic may also have a set of sorts. In that case, each pattern belongs to a particular sort. Structures can be used to combine patterns of different sorts together. Some example of sorts used when working with program semantics might be "32-bit integer values", "stack frames", or "heap memory".
Some derived concepts are defined as:
is matched by all elements. is matched by none.
"One should be careful when reasoning with such non-classic logics, as basic intuitions may deceive."
When interpreting matching logic (that is, defining its semantic meaning), a pattern is modeled with a power set. The statement's interpretation is the set of values that match the pattern.
Matching μ-Logic
Matching -logic adds a fixed-point operator .
Applications
Matching logic is used with reachability logic by the K Framework to specify an operational semantics and, from them, to create a Hoare logic.
Matching logic can be converted to first-order logic with equality, which allows the K Framework to use existing SMT-solvers to find proofs for theorems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dora%20Metcalf | Dora Stuart Primrose Metcalf (11 March 1892 – 17 October 1982) was an India-born Irish entrepreneur, mathematician and computing pioneer. During World War I she was a comptometer operator in a munitions factory during which time she realised the potential in the mechanical descendants of the abacus. During World War II she was involved with supplying the "bombe" decryption machines to the codebreakers at Bletchley Park in England.
Early life
Dora Metcalf (née Greene) was born to Irish parents in Madras (now Chennai) in India. She was the oldest of three children born to Eleanor Emily Ernestine née Burton (born 1868) and George Percy Greene (1862–1900, born in Lisburn, Antrim in Ireland), the Superintendent of the Madras Survey. The couple had married at All Souls' Church in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu in India in 1890. Metcalf's father died when she was eight years-old resulting in her and her family having to return to England.
She attended Bedford High School in Bedfordshire before winning a scholarship to take an external degree with the University of London aged 15, gaining her Bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1911 aged 19. She initially became a teacher as Junior Mathematics and Riding Mistress at Allenswood Academy in south London.
During World War I she worked as a comptometer operator in a munitions factory during which time she came to realise the potential of the mechanical calculator as a descendant of the abacus. The comptometer was the first commercially successful key-driven mechanical calculator. After her fiancé Lt. Hugh Launcelot Cass (1891–1915) was killed by a sniper at Cape Helles in Turkey during the Gallipoli campaign during World War I she thought of herself as one of the 'surplus women' and gave up hope of ever marrying due to the loss of so many men's lives and concentrated on a career in computing, from 1916 selling comptometers in Belfast in Ireland. She regularly kept in touch with Cass’s family until she met her future husband in 1932.
Computing career
In 1916, age 24, Greene was sent to Belfast to introduce comptometers into the shipyard offices. She stayed with George Clark, who owned the Workman, Clark & Company shipyard. Her time in Ireland began whilst the country was beginning the process of independence.
The comptometry business was successful and in 1917 Greene also set up offices in Dublin and Cork. In Dublin she stayed with Matilda Knowles, a leading botanist whose home was a gathering place for Dublin’s intelligentsia, with visitors including Dr Katherine Maguire and Dr Kathleen Lynn, who would be the founder of St Ultan’s Hospital for women and children, as well as Robert Barton, Erskine Childers and W. B. Yeats.
Greene realised that businessmen and government department managers did not have the understanding or the mathematical knowledge to make full use of the comptometers. As a trained mathematician and an evolving entrepreneur she realised the potential for providing services rather than merely ha |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%20Wallet | Google Wallet (or simply Wallet) is a digital wallet platform developed by Google. It is available for the Android, Wear OS, and Fitbit OS operating systems, and was announced on May 11, 2022, at the 2022 Google I/O keynote. It began rolling out on Android smartphones on July 18.
History
The "Google Wallet" brand name was first used for the company's mobile payment system of the same name, which was introduced in 2011 before being merged with Android Pay into a new app called Google Pay in 2018. The old Wallet app, with its functionality reduced to a peer-to-peer payments service, was rebranded Google Pay Send before it was discontinued as well in 2020. In 2020, the Google Pay app underwent an extensive redesign based on Google's India-focused Tez app, expanding into an all-encompassing personal finance app. This replaced the Tez app on the Play Store, while the 2018 Google Pay app continued to co-exist as a separate, pre-installed app on Android smartphones.
Google Wallet (2011) launches
Google demonstrated the original version of the original Google Wallet app at a press conference on May 26, 2011. The first app was released in the US only on September 19, 2011. Initially, the app only supported Mastercard cards issued by Citibank.
On May 15, 2013, Google announced the integration of Google Wallet and Gmail, allowing users to send money through Gmail attachments. While Google Wallet was available only in the United States, the Gmail integration was made available in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
In 2015, a physical Google Wallet card was launched as an optional addition to the app, which allowed users to make purchases at point-of-sale (in stores or online) drawing from funds in their Google Wallet account, attached debit card account, or bank account. The card could also be used to withdraw cash at ATMs with no Google-associated fee, and could be used like a debit card for virtually any purpose, including such things as renting a car. The Wallet Card was discontinued on June 30, 2016, and replaced with Android Pay.
The original version of Google Wallet allowed users to make point-of-sale purchases with their mobile devices using near-field communication (NFC) technology. As of September 2015, however, Google dropped NFC from Google Wallet, offering the technology only through Android Pay, which was a separate application available only to Android users. As a result, any gift cards, loyalty programs, and promotional offers stored in an older version of Google Wallet could no longer be used.
Android Pay launches
Originally launched as Android Pay, the service was released at Google I/O 2015. Android Pay was a successor to and built on the base established by Google Wallet which was released in 2011. It also used technology from the carrier-backed Softcard—Google had acquired its intellectual property in February 2015. At launch, the service was compatible with 70% of Android devices and was accepted at over 700,000 merchants. The old |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen%20Menglei | Chen Menglei (; 1650–1741) was a Qing dynasty scholar-writer known for being the chief editor, compiler, and author of the Gujin Tushu Jicheng Chinese encyclopedia. In 1670, he became a Jinshi. Chen Menglei conducted research for over 50 years, covering more than 10,000 volumes of books, and in 1701 was entrusted by the Kangxi Emperor to compile the Gujin Tushu Jicheng encyclopedia, which Chen completed in four and a half years.
Chen Menglei also had the courtesy name Zezhen (则震), sobriquet or art name Shengzhai (省斋), and epithet "Pine Crane Elder" (松鶴老人).
Life
Chen Menglei was born in modern-day Fuzhou in Houguan county. In the ninth year of Kangxi (1670), at the age of 20, he obtained his scholar degree, became a Jinshi, and was selected as a scholar for the Hanlin Academy. In the 12th year of Kangxi's reign (1673), he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, which coincided with the Revolt of the Three Feudatories, and he was caught in the midst of Geng Jingzhong's rebellion. Chen Menglei at the time was friends with fellow writer Li Guangdi. Chen Sui (陈遂) and Li Guangdi together went to the office of Fujian chancellor Fu Hongji (富鴻基) to demonstrate their loyalty to the Qing dynasty.
In the 15th year of Kangxi (1676), in September, the Qing soldiers passed through Xianxia pass (仙霞关) to enter Fujian, and Geng Jingzhong surrendered. At this time, as part of machinations by Li Guangdi, Menglei was framed and falsely accused by Xu Hongbi (徐鴻弼) from the Geng faction. Chen Menglei was mistakenly taken for Chen Fang (陳昉). But later Chen Menglei cleared his name and showed his innocence.
Writing the Gujin Tushu Jicheng
In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi (1698), Emperor Kangxi made an eastern tour, and Chen Menglei went to work and study with the third son of Emperor Kangxi: Prince Cheng, Yinzhi. Chen Menglei's study was changed to "Songheshan Room" (松鶴山房), and he called himself "Songhe Elder" (松鶴老人), meaning "Pine Crane Elder" as the Kangxi emperor gave the couplet "The pine is tall and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, while the old crane has new feathers."
During this period, in October of the 40th year of Kangxi (1701), Chen began to compile the book, the Compendium, or Tushu Huibian (图书汇编). Chen Menglei referred to the "Xieyitang" (协一堂) book collection and more than 15,000 volumes of ancient books in his own family to classify and edit the encyclopedia. After five years (1701-1705) of 'eye to eye inspection, morning and evening' (“目营手检，无间晨夕”), in May of the 44th year of Kangxi, he completed the Compendium.
There are 10,000 volumes of the book and 40 volumes of catalogues, with a total of 160 million words. The whole book is divided into six parts: Astronomy/Calendar, Geography, Society, Nature, Philosophy, Economics, etc. (历象、方舆、明论、博物、理学、经济等). Each edition is divided into several codices, totaling 36 codices, and each codex is divided into cadres, totaling 6,109. There are many contents, and the classification is clear.

It has been compared to the United States' National Security Agency or British GCHQ.
3PLA oversees an extensive network of SIGINT stations throughout China and abroad that collect and process intelligence. 3PLA operates listening stations in Cuba, and also possibly in North Korea, Pakistan, and Djibouti. 3PLA has a large staff of linguists and technicians and is the largest Chinese intelligence agency. Subsequently, 3PLA and 4PLA are the two largest players in China's CNO. They share several responsibilities: cyber intelligence collection, R&D on information security, and the joint management of network attack and defense training systems. 4PLA's offensive mission is the key differentiator between 3PLA and 4PLA. The INEW doctrine consolidates this offensive mission under 4PLA, while 3PLA is left responsible for intelligence gathering and network defense. The personnel at 3PLA are also a key differentiator, since there is no indication that 4PLA has the analysis capabilities that 3PLA possesses, suggesting that 3PLA may analyze and exploit the cyber information that 4PLA gathers in their offensive missions. One interesting point is the importance of understanding adversary's “red lines” when conducting offensive IW actions to avoid unintended escalation, including assessments on how dependent opponents are on a single network node or a specific network. 3PLA or another PLA intelligence organization may provide these assessments and inform 4PLA operations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%20Flood%20%28policy%20analyst%29 | Joe Flood (born 28 July 1950) is a policy, data analyst and mathematician. He has made contributions to mathematics, housing and urban economics, urban indicators, slum studies, climate change and genetic genealogy.
Flood worked in CSIRO from 1977 to 1993, where he conducted about 25 research projects for every level of government in Australia during 1984-93. His research contributed to several major changes in Australia's housing policy. With university partners, he established the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) in 1993.
Flood joined UN-Habitat in Nairobi from 1994 to 1996, where he devised a system of urban indicators that was collected in over 250 cities around the world. He was the originator of the City Development Index and the Global Urban Observatory. After leaving the UN, he spent the next ten years on follow-up work on establishing local observatories and indicators, with some housing and urban work in Australia.
From 2010 he has written and lectured extensively on genetic genealogy.
Early life
Joe Flood is the eldest child of poet and playwright Dorothy Hewett, His siblings include Tom Flood and Kate Lilley. His parents eloped in 1949 from Perth to Sydney. Before and after his birth they lived in "Australia's last slum" Redfern. His mother wrote poems and short stories about him as a small child. His boilermaker father Les Flood suffered from untreated schizophrenia, and the family fled to Perth in 1958 as Les became increasingly dangerous.
Flood completed a pure mathematics PhD in category theory and functional analysis at the Australian National University in Canberra in 1975, and wrote several other associated mathematics papers. To support his three children aged under four, he took a job as graduate clerk at the Bureau of Transport Economics, where he worked on a simulation of arid lands, dial-a-bus modelling, and a national rail wagon study. Here he learned computing, simulation modelling and data analysis.
Australian career
In 1977, Flood joined the CSIRO Division of Building Research at Highett, Victoria. Initially he worked on modelling the housing market, but switched to housing policy in 1982. He was one of the first CSIRO scientists to apply for government projects at open tender, and subsequently won nearly 50 research projects on his own behalf or leading teams. His first project, with SIROMATH, examined the employment created by housing construction and the market-purchase of public housing, using multi-regional input-output analysis. The study showed that housing had the best employment multiplier of any industry sector, because of a high labour component and relatively few imports. It was used by advocates to promote spending on public housing.
His most influential project was the 1986 Housing Subsidy Study with Judith Yates, which enumerated about 200 Federal and State housing subsidy programmes in Australia. The study showed the subsidy system was unfairly distributed towards high |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomaly%20Six | Anomaly Six (A6) is a media intelligence company. It sells global-location-data products to the United States government and the private sector. The company has embedded its software in over 500 mobile applications, giving it the ability to track hundreds of millions of mobile phones. In one presentation, the company claimed it could track 3 billion phones in real time.
History
The company was founded in 2018 by two former military intelligence officers. It is based in Alexandria, Virginia.
The company purchases cell phone location data from advertisers who in turn get the information from embedded software development kits (SDK) in commonly used phone applications. The publishers of apps frequently allow third parties to insert SDKs into their apps for a fee. Some of the apps have Anomaly Six’s own SDK embedded in them. This system often relies on disclosures in the complex terms of service that must be agreed to in order to use an application. Most apps' privacy policies do not disclose whether or not SDKs are embedded in their product.
In September 2020, U.S. Special Operations Command Africa, an operational unit of the United States Special Operations Command, paid Anomaly 6 $589,500 for a "Commercial Telemetry Feed". This is the first reported contract between the United States government and Anomaly 6.
In April 2022, it was revealed that the company had demonstrated its surveillance ability by tracking the mobile phones of members of the CIA and NSA. The company revealed the tracking during a meeting between A6 and Zignal Labs. The two companies were in talks to discuss a potential partnership, which they decided not to proceed on.

Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs
In December 2018, DDoSecrets listed a leak from Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs, portions of which detailed the deployment of Russian troops to Ukraine at a time when the Kremlin was denying a military presence there. About half of the material from that leak was published in 2014; the other half emerged in 2016. WikiLeaks reportedly rejected a request to host the full cache of files in 2016, at a time when founder Julian Assange was focused on exposing Democratic Party documents passed to WikiLeaks by Kremlin hackers.

The New York Times called the release "a symbolic counterstrike against Russia's dissemination of hacked emails to influence the American presidential election in 2016", though DDoSecrets founder Emma Best stated it was not a retaliatory action. According to the Times, the documents exposed new information on the Russio-Ukrainian War, connections between the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church, and oligarchs' business activities. According to an internal bulletin issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security, the "hack-and-leak activity" was conducted by DDoSecrets, though the organization says it is not involved in hacking, and reporting by Al Jazeera and The Daily Beast identified several independent hacktivists and hacker groups as responsible for the hacks.
Cayman National Bank and Trust
In November 2019, DDoSecrets published over 2 terabytes of data from the Cayman National Bank and Trust. The files were provided by the hacktivist known as Phineas Fisher, and included lists of the bank's politically exposed clients. The leak was used by researchers to study how elites use offshore banking. Belgian tax authorities initiated an investigation based on the CNB leak and the "#29 Leaks" the following month.
Formations House
In December 2019, DDoSecrets published "#29 Leaks" in partnership with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. The 450 gigabytes of data came from Formations House (now The London Office), a "company mill" which registered and operated companies for clients included organized crime groups, state-owned oil companies, and fraudulent banks. The leak included emails, documents, faxes, and recordings of phone calls.
The release was compared to both the Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers. Belgian tax authorities initiated an investigation based on data from this leak and from the Cayman National Bank and Trust leak published by DDoSecrets the prior month.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal%20BASIC | Minimal BASIC is a dialect of the BASIC programming language developed as an international standard. The effort started at ANSI in January 1974, and was joined in September by a parallel group at ECMA. The first draft was released for comments in January 1976 and the final standard, known alternately as ANSI X3.60-1978 or ECMA-55, was published in December 1977. The US Bureau of Standards introduced the NBSIR 77-1420 test suite to ensure implementations met the definition.
By this time, Microsoft BASIC was beginning to take over the market after its introduction on early microcomputers in 1975, and especially after the introduction of the 1977 "trinity" - the Apple II, Commodore PET and TRS-80, all of which would cement MS-style BASICs as the de facto standard. ISO standardization of Minimal BASIC began as ISO 6373:1984 but was abandoned in 1998. An effort to produce a more powerful dialect, Full BASIC (also known as Standard BASIC), was not released until January 1987 and had little impact on the market.
History
Previous developments
Dartmouth BASIC was introduced in May 1964 at Dartmouth College as a cleaned up, interactive language inspired by FORTRAN. The system brought together several concepts which were hot topics in the computer industry at the time, notably timesharing to allow multiple users to access a single machine, and direct interaction with the machine using computer terminals. General Electric, who supplied the GE-225 computer it ran on, marketed a slight variation to commercial users and saw immediate uptake. A number of other companies soon introduced similar systems of their own, selling online time by the minute. By the end of the 1960s there was a version of BASIC for almost every mainframe platform and online service.
In 1966, Hewlett-Packard (HP) introduced a new minicomputer, the HP 2100. Intended to be used in laboratories and factory settings, the company was surprised to find most were being sold for business processing. Looking to take advantage of this, in November 1968 they introduced the HP 2000, a system using two HP 2100 CPUs which implemented timesharing to support up to 32 users. The system worked in a fashion similar to the Dartmouth model, using one machine to control input/output and another to run the programs. In contrast to the Dartmouth versions which were compilers, HP Time-Shared BASIC was an interpreter.
Interpreters quickly became common on smaller machines and minicomputers. Other vendors quickly copied the HP dialect, notably Data General for their Nova series which were very successful in the early 1970s. Wang Laboratories also had some success with their dedicated BASIC machines, the Wang 2200 series. Each version had its own differences. One holdout was Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), who had been involved with the JOSS program at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) and introduced their FOCAL language based on it. By the early 1970s the success of BASIC forced DEC to introduce a BASI |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector%20%28microcomputer%29 | Hector (or Victor Lambda) are a series of a microcomputers produced in France in the early 1980s.
In January 1980, Michel Henric-Coll founded a company named "Lambda Systems" in Toulouse, that would import a computer (produced by "Interact Electronics Inc" of Ann Arbor, Michigan) to France. The computer was sold under the name of "Victor Lambda".
"Lambda Systems" went bankrupt in July 1981, along with "Interact". In December 1981, "Micronique", an electronic components company based in southern Paris, acquires the rights to the "Victor Lambda".
In 1982, "Victor Lambda Diffusion", a subsidiary, distributes the "Victor Lambda". The first machines built in the United States were not a success, and the following models were designed and produced in France at the headquarters of the "Micronique" company. The company uses the slogan: "The French Personal Computer".
In 1983, the "Victor" is renamed "Hector", to avoid confusion with the machines from the Californian company "Victor Technologies" (formerly "Sirius Systems Technology").
The last model introduced was the Hector MX, with production of the series ending in 1985. The series was not successful, due to the focus on the French market, intense competition from Amstrad machines and high prices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developing%20Countries%20Vaccine%20Manufacturers%20Network | The Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN) is a voluntary non-partisan public health alliance of health organizations and vaccine manufacturers. It has the goal of protecting people globally against known and emerging infectious diseases through the provision of a consistent supply of high quality vaccines at affordable prices for developing countries, to achieve vaccine equity. DCVMN includes manufacturers in Brazil, China, Cuba, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa and other low and middle income countries (LMICs). It was established in 2000/2001, and is headquartered in Switzerland. As of 2021, the President is Sai D. Prasad, and the CEO is Rajinder Suri.
In 2018, DCVMN members supplied more than half of the 2.36 billion doses of vaccines used globally by UNICEF. In 2019, a survey of 41 DCVMN members assessed their ability to use technology platforms, cell cultures and filling technologies for the manufacture of drug products. DCVMN members reported that they had the capability to supply over 50 distinct vaccines to 170 countries, totalling more than 3.5 billion vaccine doses annually.
At least 15 manufacturer members have achieved WHO prequalification for their vaccines.
Members are developing and producing novel vaccines for illnesses including neglected tropical diseases: rotavirus, Japanese encephalitis, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae, hepatitis B, hepatitis E, meningitis A, cholera, poliovirus, human papillomavirus infection, dengue fever, Chikungunya virus and COVID-19.
Developing countries that have the capacity for production of whole inactivated virus (WIV) and protein-based vaccines may be critical in addressing COVID-19 vaccine access gaps and achieving vaccine equity for LMICs.
As of 29 December 2020, 18 DCVMN members were involved in preclinical or clinical trials for possible COVID-19 vaccines, three of them in Phase III trials. The DCVMN is a vaccine manufacturers partner of COVAX, a worldwide initiative for equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.
As of 2016, the timeline from a vaccine's first regulatory submission in its country of origin to its approval for use in Sub-Saharan Africa could take up to seven years.
The DCVMN is active in identifying obstacles in the processes of vaccine registration and use. It works to increase coordination of requirements and procedures to improve the prequalification, procurement and supply of vaccines. This can involve governments in different countries, the World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations agencies such as UNICEF.
The Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network has received funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Volume | The Volume is a sports media company founded by Colin Cowherd. The network currently hosts podcasts and produces video content for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and other platforms. It produces content to meet fan demand around sporting events rather than following a traditional schedule.
History
Cowherd founded the company to both produce his own content and host other commentators. At its launch, Cowherd partnered with iHeartRadio to sell the company's advertising space, with fantasy sports company FanDuel as its gambling partner and presenting sponsor.
The Volume was launched on February 1, 2021, with its flagship program, The Colin Cowherd Podcast, on which Cowherd discusses sports stories and interviews guests.
In March 2021, The Volume entered into a partnership with the Action Network to produce a slate of sports gambling podcasts.
Sports media executive Logan Swaim joined the company as head of content in May 2021. In 2022, several executives from companies such as ESPN, Fox Sports 1, Overtime and Activision Blizzard joined the company. These included Andrew Samson, a former director of content for the XFL, who became executive producer of The Colin Cowherd Podcast.
The network partnered with Wave Sports + Entertainment to provide joint coverage of the 2022 NBA Finals.
The Volume had 1.2 million subscribers, and its podcasts averaged a combined total of 40 million downloads per month in 2022.
In September 2023, the Volume announced a multi-year partnership with DraftKings, in which the sportsbook would become the presenting sponsor of all of The Volume’s podcast and video content.
Content
The Volume hosts 21 podcasts and digital shows by athletes and commentators, including The Draymond Green Show, hosted by NBA player Draymond Green. The Draymond Green Show launched successfully, growing to 500,000 monthly downloads in February 2022. By June 2022, it was the 11th highest ranked show on iTunes. It has been noted for Green's unfiltered commentary and personal analysis, which Nicholas Quah of Vulture opined was more interesting than traditional sports media. In March of 2023, The Draymond Green Show won the iHeart Media Podcast Award for Best Sports Podcast.
In August 2022, Richard Sherman moved his podcast from Pro Football Focus to The Volume.
The network has been noted for being one of the first major sports media platforms to host college football players after the National Collegiate Athletic Association made it possible for them to monetize their own brands. In its first year, The Volume launched Inside the Garage, a show that originated from four Notre Dame football players - Kyle Hamilton, Cam Hart, Conor Ratigan and KJ Wallace - discussing football and their personal lives. University of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young also had a podcast with The Volume in its first year.
In 2021, the network acquired the distribution rights to Boxing with Chris Mannix. The network also hosts live coverage of wrestling events li |
