https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuro%20Morita	(1955July 27, 2012) was a Japanese video game designer known for his work on the Morita's Shogi video game series. Becoming interested in computer programming during high school, he entered magazine competitions during his university years, creating video game versions of board games. He won a competition organised by Enix in 1982 with the video game Morita's Battlefield, which was published the following year to great commercial success. Following this success he established Random House, developing his Shogi series and several other game projects, several published by Enix. From 1999, he remained as a programmer for Yuki Entertainment (later Examu) following their acquisition of Random House's properties. He continued acting as a company manager while contributing to the programming of titles including Samurai Shodown V and VI. Among those whom he was survived by are his wife Sakicho, and his brother politician Takashi Morita. Early life Kazuro Morita was born in 1955 in Toyama, capital of Toyama Prefecture in Japan's Chūbu region; his family were established professionals in internal medicine and obstetrics and gynaecology. He was the oldest of three brothers, with one of his younger brothers being politician Takashi Morita. While attending Toyama Prefectural Toyama Chubu High School, he had the opportunity to work with a programmable calculator, where he became interested in programming. After his high school graduation in 1973 he entered the Tokyo Institute of Technology's Department of Organic Chemistry, but dropped out in 1975 after having to repeat a year, and after another year in Toyama entered Saitama Medical University. During his second university year, he spent time working with an NEC TK-80, using it to create his first project, an electronic version of the board game Othello. He took part in electronics magazine competitions with his work, using royalties from a successful submission to buy a PC-8801 for programming. Career Seeking game proposals following its entry into the video game market in 1982, Enix organized a competition dubbed the "Enix Game Hobby Program Contest" in both computer and manga magazines, offering a prize of ¥1 million (US$10,000) for a game prototype which could be published by Enix. Morita 's submission was a simulation video game called Morita's Battlefield. Morita won the grand prize, being among a notable group of designers who were accepted by Enix alongside Yuji Horii and Koichi Nakamura. Morita's Battlefield was published in February 1983, earning royalties of ¥5 million. Uusing the money Morita established Random House with a number of university friends. Beginning in 1983, Morita created a video game version of the board game shogi, with it being published in 1985 under the title Morita's Shogi, and starting off a series of similar games. Enix would publish several of Random House's products over the coming years, including his Shogi series and Just Breed. He was programmer for Minelvaton Saga:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess%20Wars	Chess Wars (fully titled as Chess Wars: A Medieval Fantasy) is a 1996 computer chess game released for DOS by WizardWorks and developed by Art Data Interactive and Digital Arena Software. It is the last game to be released by Art Data Interactive. Gameplay Chess Wars is a 3D computer chess game that animates the movement of the pieces in a manner similar to Battle Chess. The game is notable for displaying full-motion video sequences when a piece is taken. Pieces on the board correspond to 'character pieces' representing actors for each piece on the chess board. The full-motion video sequences follow a loose story of two opposing kingdoms meeting on the battlefield. The chess engine of Chess Wars contains several features, including strength settings, an enhanced move history and a 'guess move' mode, with a reported chess rating score of 2100 for 'Master' difficulty and 1000 for 'Beginner' difficulty on a standard computer. The game includes data from 60,000 masters' games and 4,000 opening variations as a reference for players. Development Full-motion video sequences were written and directed by screenwriter Paul W. Cooper in his first and only directorial role. Filming was supported with a cast of eighteen, plus six stuntmen, three camera units and over a hundred extras. Overall, the game features 60 minutes of full-motion video footage. Art Data Interactive reportedly commissioned the footage before development of the software, which led to considerable delays. Alex Wells of Digital Arena Software was contracted to complete the code and programming for the DOS version of the game. Chess Wars was announced by Art Data Interactive in 1995, originally intended for release on the 3DO in November 1995. Due to constraints with development, the game was ultimately released only for DOS. Reception Reviews Reviews for Chess Wars were mixed. Chuck Klimushyn of Computer Games Strategy Plus stated "as a chess program, the game is adequate, but just barely", although found the full-motion video sequences "entertaining" and "varied enough to keep me from toggling them off. David Wildgoose of PC PowerPlay critiqued the sequences as "hideously embarrassing", recommending that players "disable the appalling FMV sequences", although praising the tutorial, graphics, and difficulty levels. Legacy The complex and costly production of Chess Wars was a contributing factor in the closure of Art Data Interactive in 1996-97. 3DO Magazine reported that Art Data Interactive "burnt up around half a million dollars" in producing the full-motion video sequences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderman%20%281979%20film%29	Wonderman () is a 1979 Finnish science fiction horror comedy film directed by Antti Peippo and starring Antti Litja, Martti Pennanen and Saara Pakkasvirta. It tells story about the data-expert that proposes, after his brain capacity has ben developed in the special rationalization program, the serious measures that will save the company from an economic collapse, but when his drastic savings programs forces the board to resign, he must go underground. The film is the only directorial work of Peippo, who was better known as a cinematographer, and Jouko Turkka was originally planned to be the director of the film. Wonderman was also the first film production of the Filminor company after the death of its leader Risto Jarva in 1977. The Finnish Film Foundation supported the production of Wonderman with FIM 830,000. Yleisradio bought three TV broadcast rights in advance for FIM 220,000, but only used two of them. The official premiere of the film was on November 2, 1979, only in Finland's largest cities; in Kuopio, Pori, Vaasa and Jyväskylä, Wonderman was not seen until around 1980. Viewers, the film gathered 42% of the 1979 average. According to the advertising slogan on the poster, Wonderman was a "comedy for our time" (Komedia meidän ajastamme), but after the film's premiere, critics didn't really know how to feel about it, as its slapstick-style visual comedy was considered too overlaid on the story. Mikael Fränti from Helsingin Sanomat mentioned the following about the film, among other things: "What kind of movie is Wonderman? Maybe we could talk about a contemplative film that also relies on humor and functional pranks. --- But apparently the problem is that Wonderman is too 'literary' at the level of the script. And during the making process, this written taste has not been completely achieved to eliminate." A later reviewer, Pekka Suorsa from DVD-opas, sees the Wonderman as telling more about our own time squeezed by the "quarter economy" than about the problems of the late 1970s. Plot Olli Ruusunen (Antti Litja) is a child prodigy who, as the only Finn and the best in his class, has received special training at the Buffalo Institute in the United States. His brain capacity has been developed to the utmost by training the right hemisphere of the brain in tormenting, which many have not endured. The training was paid for by director Tuomola's (Martti Pennanen) company, for which Olli has planned a rationalization program after returning to Finland. Olli presents his plan to the company's management team: the restructuring requires the dismissal of a third of the employees but also the entire management. Tuomola tells Olli to stop his work, but Paavola (Ville Salminen), the bank manager who controls the company's finances, is enthusiastic about Olli's program and supports him. At the company party, Olli causes aggravation and they try to keep him out of Paavola's way. However, the men meet again each other. In the following days, Olli begi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navalny%20Headquarters	The Navalny Headquarters () is a Russian underground organization (since 2022) and former network of regional organizations (in 2017-2021) founded by opposition leader Alexei Navalny as part of the 2017 presidential campaign. It lasted until April 2021, when the liquidation of the headquarters was announced in connection with the demand of the Moscow prosecutor's office to recognize the "public movement "Navalny Headquarters" as an extremist organization. It was re-established in October 2022. At the peak of Navalny's presidential campaign, 81 headquarters operated in the regions of Russia, including 11 "people's" ones - opened on the initiative of local residents on their own. After the 2018 presidential election, headquarters continued to work in 45 main regions, their profile changed to a regional politicianу. History 2017-2021 In December 2016, Alexei Navalny announced the start of the Navalny 2018 presidential campaign. As part of it, the creation of regional campaign headquarters across the country was announced, in which it was planned to collect signatures for the nomination of an oppositionist for president and organize campaigning for a candidate in the regions with the involvement of volunteers The first headquarters was opened in St. Petersburg on February 4, 2017. Its opening took place with the participation of Navalny himself: he held a press conference and met with volunteers, which later became a constant practice. The opening of regional headquarters was often accompanied by problems: pressure was put on renters of premises, headquarters were vandalized, Navalny himself missed openings several times due to administrative arrests and became a victim of attacks. Already after the opening, many headquarters were subjected to attacks by pro-government activists and vandals, visits by security officials (sometimes with the seizure of campaign materials and equipment) or arrests of employees. After the end of the election campaign and the “voters' strike”, headquarters in the least significant regions were closed, while some of them continued to work as “people's headquarters” for some time. Headquarters in 45 key regions continued to work, reformatted into regional political organizations. In August 2019, the Investigative Committee opened a case on the laundering of 1 billion rubles by the Anti-Corruption Foundation. As part of this case, several waves of searches were carried out at the FBK office, Navalny's headquarters throughout Russia, their employees and volunteers, and the accounts of legal entities and individuals were blocked. The head of the network of headquarters, Leonid Volkov, stated that the case was initiated with the aim of defeating Navalny's political organization, and also emphasized that the Anti-Corruption Fund, against which the case was initiated, has no legal relationship to Navalny's headquarters. Despite the pressure associated with the criminal case, Navalny's headquarters did not stop working. On

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs%20Arthur%20Webb	Mrs. Arthur Webb was a writer who wrote for Farmer's Weekly and also appeared on BBC Radio during World War II in connection with the network's broadcasts for housewives. Of concern in those days was the conservation of kitchen fuel. As a writer for Farmer's Weekly Mrs Arthur Webb recommended cooking full meals in a steamer including puddings and cakes. When Mrs. Arthur Webb's Economical Cookery was published in 1934 it didn't appeal much to the working class British public. One of her projects with the BBC was to collect recipes from British farmhouses in all parts of the country. The recipe she recorded for "Norfolk dumplings" was a simple yeast-leavened bread dough, "not a sweet", cooked by boiling and often served as a substantial part of the meal, or on their own if there wasn't any meat. "Making the Most of a Wartime Larder" was broadcast with Mrs. Arthur Webb at 9:45 AM in September 1939. Beginning in 1940, The Ministry of Food prepared recipes and information to be broadcast to British housewives daily by the BBC Home Service everyday between 8:15 and 8:20, timed in the morning before housewives did their daily shopping. Part of the purpose of these broadcasts was to give women information on what types of foods were available at markets and what they needed to conserve as part of the war effort.

Data security In the latter part of his career, Koksal has focused on securing data. He has combined data encryption with physical contextual access control. Earlier in such efforts he has made data access controlled via sound waves using a high data-rate acoustic modem he has built. Later on, he has generalized the ideas to enable data to protect itself as protection is directly integrated into files and database queries. He developed a wireless communication system with applications to achieve constant bit rate data transmission over a block fading channel, securely from an eavesdropper. His research indicated that the optimal power control involves a time sharing between secure water filling and channel inversion strategies. In 2017, he studied the ways to optimally manage the freshness of information updates sent from a source node to a destination via a channel. With an intention to secure massive MIMO at the physical layer, he introduced n beamforming strategy that establishes information theoretic security without need to Wyner encoding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable%20News%20Network%20L.P.%20v.%20CNNews.com	Cable News Network L.P. v. CNNews.com, 162 F.Supp.2d 484 (2001), was a trademark law case of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, over the use of a registered trademark owned by an American company in the web address of a foreign company. The court ruled that a foreign firm's use of an American trademark in a web address could be a violation of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, but such a violation requires a show of bad faith. Background Cable News Network had owned the American trademark for the acronym "CNN" since 1980, and in the late 1990s registered the domain name "cnn.com" for its website. In 1999, Maya Online Broadband Network of China, a subsidiary of Shanghai Online Broadband Network Co. Ltd., registered the domain name "cnnews.com" with Network Solutions for use worldwide. The Chinese firm claimed that the "cn" in the domain name utilized a widely-known abbreviation for China, while Cable News Network claimed that the first three letters of the offending domain name violated its trademark for the "cnn" acronym and could cause confusion among Internet users. The Chinese firm noted that it planned to use the "cnnews.com" site only in China and with content only in the Chinese language, and that this would not cause confusion because few people in China were familiar with the American CNN. Opinion The district court set to determine if the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) allowed Cable News Network to seek damages for trademark infringement. The court also had to determine if it had in rem jurisdiction, which requires a domain name to be considered an item of property owned by a party within its territory. Per U.S. Supreme Court precedents, this type of jurisdiction requires that the defendant who is accused of infringing on the property must have minimum contacts within the court's territory. The district court found that it had jurisdiction because the site "cnnews.com" could be accessed by Internet users within its geographical territory. The district court then had to determine if the Chinese company had violated the ACPA in bad faith. The court found that this was not the case; but in a separate proceeding, ordered the Chinese company to transfer the "cnnews.com" domain name to Cable News Network due to likelihood of confusion under the ACPA. Impact Cable News Network L.P. v. CNNews.com has been cited as an important early ruling on the law of domain names as property, and the implications of domain names using terms that are trademarked in a particular country but visible to Internet users around the world. It has also been named as an important early precedent on the matter of establishing minimum contacts for Internet usage, with the availability of a website to users within a court's territory found to be sufficient for jurisdiction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorke%27s%20Drift%20%28video%20game%29	Rorke's Drift is a strategy video game for Atari ST, Amiga and MS-DOS home computers, released in 1990. The game is a recreation of the Battle of Rorke's Drift during the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War. The player assumes command of the British garrison at the Rorke's Drift shortly before the arrival of the 4,000-strong attacking Zulu force. The post's 137 defenders are rendered as individual characters which the player must order to perform actions. The game is played in real time and lasts from 4.30pm on 22 January 1879 until 7am the following morning. The game received mixed reviews, with critics praising the graphics and criticising the slow pace and complicated orders system. Gameplay Rorke's Drift is a real-time strategy recreation of the Battle of Rorke's Drift, a defence of a mission post during the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War. The player takes command of a garrison of 137 British troops to defend the post against a Zulu force numbering up to 4,000. The game allows the player the choice of facing Zulu attacks as they came historically or in a randomised fashion. The game starts at 4.30pm on 22 January 1879, at which time the mealie bag and biscuit box defences have been erected, and the player's first action is to issue orders to deploy their men to their fighting positions. The Zulu attacks begin an hour later and the game runs, in real time, to a conclusion at 7am on 23 January when the British garrison is relieved by the arrival of reinforcements. Victory is awarded to the player if any of their forces survive until the end. The game is presented in isometric 3D view from the south of the mission post, the screen shows a section of the post and during gameplay the player can scroll the screen to view other parts. The player's command consists of 137 characters, a mix of soldiers (wounded and unwounded), officers, medics and quartermasters. There are 80 different frames of character position, depicting the men in kneeling, running, standing and fighting position in eight different directions. Each individual character has different statistics that affect their movement, shooting and hand-to-hand combat abilities. The player orders men individually by entering an orders mode that pauses gameplay and prevents the screen from moving. Orders are given by mouse on an illustrated on-screen menu and are carried out when the player unpauses the game. A "repeat order" function allows the player to issue the same order, individually, to more than one character. Orders include different speeds of movement, different firing positions, aiming, firing, reloading and fighting in hand-to-hand combat. Only soldiers ordered to aim at a target can fire, the chance of a hit depends on the ability of the soldier and the time spent aiming. As well as the main screen the player can select a map icon to display a fixed overview of the post, a red cross icon to display the total of active, wounded and dead for each side and a clock icon which accelerates th

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noname057%2816%29	NoName057(16) is a pro-Russian hacker group that first declared itself in March 2022 and claimed responsibility for cyber-attacks on Ukrainian, American, and European websites of government agencies, media, and private companies. It is regarded as an unorganized and free pro-Russian activist group seeking to attract attention in Western countries. The first attacks claimed by the group in March 2022 where DDoS attacks targeting Ukraine news and media websites Zaxid, Fakty UA, and others. Overall the motivations center around silencing what the group deems to be anti-Russian. Activity NoName057(16) operates using Telegram channels where they claim responsibility for their attacks, mock targets, make threats, and share educational content. They have used GitHub to host their DDoS tool website and associated repositories. The group has developed a DDoS tool named DDOSIA, which conducts denial-of-service attacks by repeatedly issuing network requests to target sites. It is noteworthy that the threat actor appears to collaborate with other pro-Russian cyber collectives, such as Killnet and XakNet. Ukrainian media employees received threatening letters from the NoName057(16) group. This was confirmed by the Ukrainian ex-Ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova. OSINT researcher Cyberknow20 has included NoName057(16) in his summary table of hacker groups, which he periodically updates. Motivation On the Telegram channel of the group a "Manifesto" was posted 11/03/2022. The English translation reads:Greetings, comrades! Hacker group NoName057(16) goes out on the warpath with Ukrainian sub-hackers and their corrupt servants! These admirers of the neo-fascists, who have seized power in Ukraine, are trying to attack the Internet resources of our country and intimidate our compatriots with their attacks orchestrated through the social networks and other communication channels. In response to their pathetic efforts, we are conducting massive attacks on Ukropropaganda resources that brazenly lie to people about Russia’s special operation in Ukraine, as well as on the websites of Ukrainian grief-hackers who try to support the neo-Nazi regime of Zelensky and a handful of drug addicts and Nazis from his mob! We have already conducted several successful attacks on Ukrainian resources, which have paralyzed users’ access to them. And this is just the beginning. To our enemies, we want to remind the words of the famous Russian commander Alexander Nevsky: “Whoever comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword!" Here we will talk about our cases and conducted attacks. Known DDOS attacks Canada On September 13, 2023, the NoName057(16) group has launched a DDoS attack on many Canadian and Quebec government websites. A total of 8 sites are attacked. Ukrainian sites Starting from March 2022, the NoName057(16) group has carried out a number of cyberattacks on Ukrainian media websites and Ukrainian media portals. For example, such as: the portal "Detector Media", t

Production for the film began in May 2014, and involved more than 200 people. It was produced almost entirely in Quebec City. At a budget of $8.5 million, the film received financial support from Telefilm Canada and Société de développement des entreprises culturelles. Release Mission Kathmandu: The Adventures of Nelly and Simon had its world premiere on 21 October 2017 at the Cinekid Festival in the Netherlands. It received a limited release to 50 screens in Quebec, Canada, on 23 February 2018. It was distributed by Seville Films. Critical reception The film received generally mixed reviews. André Duchesne, writing for La Presse, stated that "the first 15 minutes of Nelly and Simon – Mission Yéti are the best. […] But when the team lands in Nepal to go to the Himalayas, the story deflates," adding "Thereafter, we chew the same jokes. Like those surrounding the lack of orientation of the two heroes or the endless daredevil slips." Charles-Henri Ramond of Films du Québec gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5, stating, while recognising that the film had a low budget, "Cut for a very young audience, the story turns out to be very predictable and very light, which only very minimally exploits the folklore of the tales and legends surrounding this half-man half-ape beast [yeti]." Ramond praised the performance of Sylvie Moreau.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SourceFed%20Studios	SourceFed Studios was an American digital media company and multi-channel network created by Philip DeFranco in 2011. After finding success during the early years of YouTube with his eponymous news show, DeFranco secured funding from YouTube and launched SourceFed as part of the YouTube Original Channel Initiative in 2012. SourceFed was one of the more successful YouTube-funded channels and a nerd culture-focused spinoff, SourceFedNerd, was launched in 2013. DeFranco then sold his DeFranco Creative portfolio, which included SourceFed to Revision3, a subsidiary of Discovery Digital Networks (DDN). Under that portfolio, SourceFed's production and hosting staff launched and worked on various sister channels including SourceFedNerd, People Be Like, Super Panic Frenzy, and ForHumanPeoples (later rebranded as Nuclear Family). In 2016, DDN folded Revision3 into Seeker and renamed DeFranco Creative as SourceFed Studios. Seeker and SourceFed Studios were then acquired by Group Nine Media in late 2016. In March 2017, Group Nine shut down the remaining SourceFed Studios YouTube channels. SourceFedNerd was briefly rebranded as NowThis Nerd, but Group Nine reversed this after fan backlash. Although inactive, the SourceFed Studios channels remain online. History Background and founding (2011–2012) SourceFed was an idea Philip DeFranco had been considering as an evolution of his own YouTube series, The Philip DeFranco Show (PDS). In an interview with Forbes, DeFranco stated that he originally wanted to turn his daily show into several daily segments. He recalled there was confusion among his audience when this format was tested, convincing DeFranco that he would need to create a new series to not alienate, but grow his audience. Around this time, DeFranco also had plans to create a news network. In late 2011, YouTube began its $100 million funding of original or premium content channels. Due to DeFranco's position as a YouTube partner, the website offered him funding for an original channel. The SourceFed channel, based on a blog of the same name, was one of these channels. DeFranco revealed that he acquired the funding to launch the channel by originally promising YouTube that the channel would be run as a "celebrity gossip channel", and that it would consist of a single show rather than multiple different shows. However, DeFranco negotiated for less funding, in return to have creative control over the channel's content. DeFranco also hand-picked the first six hosts of SourceFed. The channel launched on January 23, 2012. The SourceFed channel found early success in attracting a sizable subscriber base. DeFranco later created a spinoff channel, SourceFedNerd (stylized as SourceFedNERD), which was announced on May 16, 2013. A teaser trailer was released, promising the debut of the channel on May 20. The New Movie Thing Show, The SourceFed Movie Club, and #TableTalk were moved from the original SourceFed channel to the Nerd channel. The spinoff channel ho
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly%20T	Jelly T (), also released as Ivan the Incredible, is a 2012 Danish 3D computer-animated comedy film directed by Michael Hegner from a screenplay by Michael W. Horsten, based on the 1975 children's book Gummi-Tarzan by Ole Lund Kirkegaard. It is the second film in a trilogy of computer-animated films based on children's books by Kirkegaard, following Freddy Frogface (2011) and preceding Otto the Rhino (2013). Produced by Phase 4 Films, Jelly T was released in Danish theatres on 16 May 2012. Premise Ivan Olsen is constantly bullied at school, mostly by his father who is angry at his inabilities of being both smart and strong enough to protect himself. Lotte, a cute girl wishes to be a friend of his but Ivan unwillingly disagrees believing he can't do anything at all. That evening, Ivan visits a witch who makes a potion which grants Ivan the ability to be the best at everything for 24 hours, which allows him to teach his bullies a valuable lesson. Sadly, that doesn't even impress Lotte during their race with the butcher's daughter, due to the fact that Ivan has actually posed a risk to her life so far and sent the butcher's daughter flying over the town, with Lotte claiming to have loved the normal wimpy Ivan (despite the fact that Ivan's father has told him he could find love if he'll be capable of everything). Lotte is now not willing to see Ivan, nor talk to him. However, things change back to normal and Ivan becomes his normal self again, so Lotte can come back to him eventually. Voice cast Thure Lindhardt as Ivan "Jelly Tarzan" Olsen Nicolaj Kopernikus as Ivan's father Karen-Lise Mynster as the witch Birthe Neumann as Mrs Sørensen Signe Egholm Olsen as Lotte Jens Andersen as Karsten Bjarne Henriksen as the butcher Esben Pretzmann as the inspector Cecilie Stenspil as Kim David Bateson as the teacher and angry fisherman Release Jelly T was released in Danish cinemas on 16 May 2012. Title change The film was originally intended to be released as Gummi-Tarzan (), as is the name of the book upon which the film is based. However, when Walt Disney Pictures released their animated film Tarzan in 1999 they secured the exclusive rights to the title. After publishers of Ole Lund Kierkegaard's book were threatened with legal action, they reached an agreement with Disney that the original book may be freely republished as Gummi-Tarzan, but that in all other media the title must be Gummi T (). Crone Film decided to follow this agreement to avoid possible legal action.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talent%20scheduling	Talent scheduling is an optimization problem in computer science and operations research, and it is also a problem in combinatorial optimization. Suppose we need to make films, and each film contains several scenes. Each scene needs to be shot by one or more actors. And suppose you can only shoot one scene a day. The salaries of these actors are calculated by the day. In this problem, we can only hire each actor consecutively. For example, we can't hire an actor on the first and third days, but not the second day. During the hiring period, the producers still need to pay the actors even if they are not involved in the filming assignment. The purpose of talent scheduling is to minimize the actors' total salary by adjusting the sequence of scenes. Mathematical formulation Consider a film shoot composed of shooting days and involving a total of actors. Then we use the day out of days matrix (DODM) to represent the requirements for the various shooting days. The matrix with the entry given by: Then we define the pay vector , with the th element given by which means rate of pay per day of the th actor. Let v denote any permutation of the n columns of , we have: is the permutation set of the n shooting days. Then define to be the matrix with its columns permuted according to , we have: for Then we use and to represent denote respectively the earliest and latest days in the schedule determined by a which require actor . So we can find actor will be hired for days. But in these days, only days are actually required, which means days are unnecessary, we have: The total cost of unnecessary days is: will be the objective function we should minimize. Proof of strong NP-hardness In talent scheduling problem, we can prove that is NP-hard by a reduction from the optimal linear arrangement(OLA) problem. And in this problem, even we restrict each actor is needed for just two days and all actors' salaries are 1, it's still polynomially reducible to the OLA problem. Thus, this problem is unlikely to have pseudo-polynomial algorithm. Integer programming The integer programming model is given by: In this model, means the earliest shooting day for talent , is the latest shooting day for talent , is the scheduling for the project, i.e. References Optimal scheduling

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCAP-over-IP	PCAP-over-IP is a method for transmitting captured network traffic through a TCP connection. The captured network traffic is transferred over TCP as a PCAP file in order to preserve relevant metadata about the packets, such as timestamps. Background and etymology The first known use of the term PCAP-over-IP is by Packet Forensics in 2011. However, the concept behind PCAP-over-IP was mentioned already in 2008 as part of a feature request for Wireshark. The need for this feature was motivated as follows: "This feature is useful when the capture is generated on a machine which does not have much storage (e.g. embedded system). E.g., ipmb_traced application available on Pigeon Point shelf managers can transmit the capture over the TCP connection without writing it to the filesystem." Use cases Common use cases for PCAP-over-IP include: Transmitting captured network traffic in real time to one or more remote machines Transferring network traffic to other applications on the same host Providing decrypted traffic from a TLS interception proxy to a packet analyzer or IDS. Software with PCAP-over-IP support Arkime NetworkMiner pcap-broker PolarProxy Wireshark Xplico Zeek Workarounds Software that can sniff network traffic, but doesn't support PCAP-over-IP, can read packets from a PCAP-over-IP provider with help of a netcat and tcpreplay combo. nc [SERVER] 57012 \| tcpreplay -i eth0 -t - References Computer network analysis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lviv%20trolleybus	The Lviv trolleybus (, translit.: L’vivs’kyi troleibus) is a trolleybus system in Lviv, Ukraine. The trolleybus network is operated by Lvivelectrotrans - a municipal enterprise, that is the operator of trams and trolleybuses in the city. LET is owned by the Lviv city council. The length of the contact network is 136 km (01.2023), and the length of the route network is 169 km (01.2021). As of 2021, 24,678,300 paid passengers (including 2,785,623 students) used trams and trolleybuses. In 2021, trolleybuses performed 3.29 million kilometers of transportation work (vehicle-km). History The first idea of introducing trolleybus traffic in Lviv dates back to April 1909. It is connected with the construction of a tram line to the High Castle. In cause of the complex topography of the route of the future line, the head of the Lviv Tramway, Józef Tomicki, proposed to build a "railless electric omnibus" line instead of a tram line, that is, a trolleybus. On November 27, 1952, regular trolleybus traffic on route No. 1 (Railway Station — Mickiewicz Square) was opened. At that time, the rolling stock consisted of five MTB-82D vehicles that ran on the line at intervals of every 20 minutes. In 1953, trolleybus route No. 2 (Mickievicz Square — Bohdanivka) was opened, with a length of 3.3 km. In 1954, this route was extended to Sknyliv railway station. In the same year, a line was laid from Mickiewicz Square along Shota Rustaveli and Stryiska to modern Hasheka Street (stop "7's km"), in three years - from Mickiewicz Square to Novyi Lviv, and in another year - to Holosko. In June 1963, the first LAZ 695T trolleybus, assembled at the Lviv Bus Plant, on the basis of a bus body with electrical equipment from decommissioned old MTB-82D trolleybuses, drove onto the streets of Lviv. On March 1, 2019, the Lviv City Council signed. a guarantee agreement with the EBRD regarding the purchase of 50 new trolleybuses manufactured by "Electron-trans" and the partial renewal of the trolleybus depot. On November 4, 2019, the first 10 Electron T19102 trolleybuses were presented at the trolleybus depot. The new trolleybuses have video surveillance cameras, USB ports for recharging phones and gadgets. Trolleybuses are equipped with two air conditioners for the interior and for the driver's cabin. In 2020-2021, LET and the authorities of Lviv intended to purchase 70-100 battery trolleybuses (with in-motion charging) with IFC loan funds, but city council members did not support this decision, citing too high interest rates. This project is now suspended. Lviv is the first city in Ukraine that started to use modern trolleybus catenary and spare parts (forks and crossings) of Elektroline company (Czech Republic). It was installed in 2021 during the reconstruction of the trolleybus catenary network on Kulparkivska street. The project was implemented with EBRD loan funds. List of existing routes As of 08.2022 Lviv trolleybus system consists of 11 routes: From July 1, 2019, a ne

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice%20over%20NR	VoNR or 'Voice over New Radio' (also referred to as Voice over 5G or Vo5G) is a 5G high-speed wireless communication standard for mobile phones and data terminals, including Internet of things (IoT) devices and wearables. VoNR fully utilizes the 5G Standalone (SA) core and can have better voice quality than its predecessor Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE). Call setup time is faster than VoLTE due to the inherent lower latency of 5G NR. 5G VoNR removes the LTE anchor allowing the voice call to stay on a 5G network. VoNR calls are usually charged at the same rate as other calls. To be able to make a VoNR call, the device, its firmware, and the mobile telephone provider must all support the service in the area, and be able to work together.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art%20Data%20Interactive	Art Data Interactive was an American video game developer and publisher founded in 1993, associated with its port of Doom for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, which was met with negative reception. The company became inactive by 1997, and defunct as a business in 1999. History Initial ventures (1993–94) Art Data Interactive was founded by CEO Randy Scott in 1993, and incorporated on 14 November 1994. Scott had acted as Vice President of Sales at ABC International, a distributor of video games, and raised capital for his own development company. According to Rebecca Heineman, Scott raised most of his initial funding of $100,000 from friends and members of his local church. The headquarters of the company were established in Simi Valley. Art Data Interactive's first venture was to assist in funding for the production of the 1994 game Rise of the Robots, earning distribution and promotional rights to the 1995 port of the game for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. Because Art Data Interactive secured distribution rights for copies for an existing game, sold through their channels, they were not credited as the publisher for the game. In 1995, Art Data Interactive published Nick Faldo's Championship Golf Challenge for MS-DOS. Similar to Rise of the Robots, the game was a redistributed version of an existing 1992 golfing video game Nick Faldo's Championship Golf, previously released for Amiga, Amiga CD32, Commodore 64, and MS-DOS by Grandslam Entertainment. The game was advertised as featuring "eight computer opponents, several 18-hole courses and a comprehensive coach section featuring Nick Faldo himself". 3DO port of Doom (1995) Acquisition and licensing In January 1995, Art Data Interactive acquired the licensing rights from id Software to release conversions of Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth for the 3DO console at a value of $250,000, with an agreement to release the port by Christmas 1995. Scott claimed he was able to secure the rights for Doom by leveraging relationships with business general manager Nick Earl of The 3DO Company and manager Jay Wilbur of id Software. Marketing Prior to and during development of Doom, Art Data Interactive made several statements to gaming publications that the 3DO port would contain additional features to its counterparts on other platforms. The port was slated to feature "a never-before seen fourth episode with nine all-new levels, new monsters (and) weapons". The game would also feature "an extensive-all new full-motion video sequences" filmed in "24-bit Cinepak film". Graphics would be enhanced with "full, hi-res, full colour sprites". Art Data Interactive appeared at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 1995 to promote the release of Doom, reportedly displaying full-motion video footage shot for the game. Development Production of the port of Doom was troubled. The game was developed in ten weeks by software engineer Rebecca Heineman of Logicware as a port from the Atari Jaguar code. False expec
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busly%20liacia%C4%87	Busły liaciać (, ) is a Belarusian opposition resistance group founded on 13 November 2020 and fighting against the Alexander Lukashenko government. Included together with the Cyber Partisans in the association "Supraciŭ" Overview Among the actions of the movement, there are both absolutely harmless (like street art or flash mobs), and actions in the format of small sabotage. "Busły" took responsibility for the destruction of dozens of CCTV cameras, damage to vehicles and property of the security forces, and blocking the railway. A well-known action that is associated with the Busły liaciać group is an attack on the base of the Minsk OMON at the end of September 2021. According to the report of the group, at night, the Chorny Busel group, using a drone, dropped two 5-litre containers of incendiary mixture from a great height onto the riot police base in Uručča. The community claims that loud pops were heard and flashes were seen, causing people in neighboring houses to wake up. Also, the "beads" published a video from the drone. The Ministry of Internal Affairs then did not comment on the information about the attack on the OMON base. But later, in October, the Prosecutor General's Office indirectly confirmed the fact of the attack, admitting that in September 2021 "there was an act of terrorism using UAVs." In October 2021, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus recognized the "Busły liaciać" Telegram channel and the "Busły liaciać chat" chat as an extremist formation, warning that subscription and active participation in it entails criminal liability. The organization "Supraciŭ" and its members the initiatives "Cyber Partisans", "DNS", and "Busły liaciać" – by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Belarus on 1 December 2021, were recognized as terrorists and banned on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. The representative of the prosecutor's office explained that "since the spring of 2021, using Telegram channels and Telegram chats, this community has been discussing, planning and promoting terrorist acts, namely arson, explosions of buildings and vehicles." Since the beginning of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the movement has carried out acts of sabotage on both Belarusian and Russian railways. In September 2022, several participants of the movement were sentenced to long prison terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir%20Antonovich%20Kovalevsky	Vladimir Antonovich Kovalevsky (born 1927) is a physicist. His research interests include digital geometry, digital topology, computer vision, image processing and pattern recognition. Scientific activity Vladimir A. Kovalevsky received his diploma in physics from Kharkiv University (Ukraine) in 1950, his first doctoral degree in technical sciences from the Central Institute of Metrology (Leningrad) in 1957 and his second doctoral degree in computer science from the Institute of Cybernetics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine (Kiev) in 1968. From 1961 to 1983 he served as Head of Department of Pattern Recognition at that Institute. In 1983 he moved to the GDR. He worked as teaching professor or as scientific collaborator on universities in Germany (Zentralinstitut für Kybernetik at the ADW, Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology, University of Rostock, Technische Universität Dresden), USA (University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University), Mexico (National Autonomous University of Mexico), New Zealand (University of Auckland, Manukau Institute of Technology) and Korea (Chonbuk National University). Over a period of nearly 40 years, Vladimir A. Kovalevsky made many fundamental and pioneering contributions to nearly every area of the above-mentioned fields. The research on digital image analysis (specifically on digital geometry and digital topology) is an important insertion to image processing and image analysis. He developed the statistically founded correlation method of recognizing optical patterns and the department “Pattern Recognition” at the Institute of Cybernetics, Kiew, has constructed in 1968 the optical character reading machine “Chars” implementing this method. The machine could read typed pages with high security. He suggested 1989 using topological knowledge, especially those of abstract cell complexes, in image processing. This has improved the definitions and the processing of boundaries and edges in two- and three-dimensional digital images. Vladimir A. Kovalevsky invented new efficient algorithms for edge detection in color images which can detect edges between subsets of different colors but the same lightness. He suggested efficient algorithms for tracing and encoding boundaries and also new definitions and recognition algorithms for recognizing digital straight segments. Kovalevsky developed as programmer many projects implementing these algorithms. The results of his research are described in his monographs. Publications Image Pattern Recognition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaap%20A.%20Zonneveld	Jacob Anton "Jaap" Zonneveld (2 June 1924 – 22 December 2016) was a Dutch programmer who, with Edsger W. Dijkstra, wrote the first Algol 60 compiler. Education Zonneveld's interest in the practical application of mathematics grew in World War II in order to be able to predict the place where a grenade will land (ballistics). In 1948 he obtained his bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics; in 1954 he received a doctorate in numerical mathematics, and in 1964 a promotion with the thesis "Automatic Numerical Integration". Work environment Zonneveld worked from 1948 at the CWI (later the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science) in Amsterdam. As a scientific assistant, he was responsible for converting calculation assignments into formulas that were then initially performed by people on a desk calculator. In 1965, he headed a software research group at Philips' NatLab. He retired in 1984. Algol 60 In early 1960, he and Edsger W. Dijkstra started developing a compiler for the programming language Algol 60 day and night. They kept their notes in duplicate in separate locations to prevent them from being lost in the event of a disaster. During the development of the compiler, both developers grew beards. They agreed not to shave until compiler development was completed. Nothing was agreed as to what would happen after the completion; Dijkstra kept a beard for the rest of his life and Zonneveld shaved his off after a while. The compiler was completed on 24 August of that year, making it the world's first Algol 60 compiler. The compiler was developed for the X1 computer from Electrologica. The code is preserved in F.E.J. Kruseman Aretz's book Personal Zonneveld met the mathematician Reina Mulder (1931-2009) at the Mathematics Center, whom he would later marry. Together they had 3 children.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seatbelt%20Psychic	Seatbelt Psychic is a 2018 television series broadcast on the Lifetime TV network, starring psychic medium Thomas John who gives guests spiritual readings during a car ride. Background Thomas John has a history working in the entertainment industry. In 2018, John developed Seatbelt Psychic for Lifetime. The show was produced by James Corden and his production company Fulwell 73. The first episode aired on July 11, 2018. Format People receive a ride from John who tells them that he can speak to the dead. He then delivers a message he claims is from their deceased loved ones while being recorded by multiple cameras in the car. Reviews According to skeptical writer Susan Gerbic, the show is deceptively edited to create the impression that John's guests were chosen entirely at random. Gerbic said her own investigation revealed that guests were all local Los Angeles actors whose personal information was on file or easily accessed by the show's producers, allowing John to use a form of hot reading to claim intimate knowledge of the guest was obtained via contact with the dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUginius	EUginius is an Internet-based database application for Genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The name EUginius is an acronym and stands for EUropean GMO Initiative for a Unified Database System. Development and commissioning The EUginius database was created on the initiative of the German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) and the Dutch research Institute Wageningen Food Safety Research (WFSR, formerly RIKILT). Building on parallel preparatory work by both cooperation partners, EUginius has been jointly developed and maintained since 2010, and has been online since October 2014. The information is provided in English. Goal EUginius aims to assist competent authorities as well as interested private users in finding accurate information on the presence, detection and identification of GMOs. Data on the GMOs’ molecular characterisation and traits, detection methods, reference materials, and authorisation status (currently limited to the EU) are provided. EUginius is tax-financed and therefore offers its information on the GMOs freely accessible. Information on releases carried out and their geographical location are not provided in EUginius. Types of organisms present in EUginius Most of the GMOs present in EUginius are used for genetically modified food and feed, the majority plants (e.g. pest resistant Bt maize, Golden rice with enhanced synthesis of ß-carotene), and thus come from the field of green biotechnology. There is also information on genetically modified animals. EUginius provides for example information on a fast-growing genetically modified salmon (AquAdvantage) as well as information on genetically modified insects that have been developed to combat vectors of pathogens (e.g. Aedes aegypti OX5034, used to reduce the yellow fever mosquito population). In addition, in some cases, information is provided for the detection of genetically modified microbial production strains of food or feed additives (white biotechnology). Since the European Union classifies organisms developed using New Breeding Techniques (NBTs) as GMOs, EUginius provides information about commercialised NBT-organisms, including genome edited organisms such as the high-oleic soybean, the larger growing pufferfish or the heat-tolerant cattle. Furthermore, EUginius lists, to some extent, published NGT organisms which present market-relevant traits. Data in EUginius As of August 2022, EUginius contains 901 genetically modified organisms (detailed information on GMOs) 270 PCR-detection methods (methods for detection and identification of GMOs) 451 reference materials (non-certified and certified reference materials) Server locations and service The database and web servers are located in Germany and are mirrored on servers in the Netherlands. Further development and troubleshooting are decided jointly by the cooperation partners. Partnerships Since 2018, there have also been partnerships with the Institute of Plant Breeding and A

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Magic%20Crystal%20%282011%20film%29	The Magic Crystal (), also released as Santa's Magic Crystal and The Elf that Rescued Christmas in the UK, is a 2011 Finnish-Belgian computer-animated Christmas film directed by Antti Haikala from a screenplay by Haikala, Bob Swain, Dan Wicksman, Nuria Wicksman and Alessandro Liggieri.The film is part of a unified multimedia concept developed by Mikael Wahlfors, which also includes Andrew Bernhardt's Special Patrol children's books, and a 26-part animated series Red Caps and a mobile app World Polar Heroes. The Magic Crystal was produced by the Epidem ZOT, Aranéo and Skyline Animation. It was released in Belgium in November 2 2011 and on 18 of the same month in Finland, the film was a box office bomb, grossing $340,836 against a budget of €5,074,000 ($). Plot On December 23rd, a young orphan named Yotan (Jonas in some versions) is late to return to the orphanage due to him helping a younger boy retrieve his Christmas letter in a drain. In his room, Santa’s twin brother Basil and his minion Grouch (Lätty in some versions) show up outside his window asking if he would like to help save Christmas. The orphanage owner bursts into the room scaring Yotan out of the window and into the garbage bin. In the bin, Yotan befriends a talking squirrel named Jiffy. Santa’s rocket-powered sleigh shows up driven by a Jamaican anthropomorphic reindeer named Poro who picks up Basil and Grouch. The bin rolls down the hill and the orphanage owner tells Yotan to never come back. Yotan and Jiffy crash into the town centre where the sleigh returns to collect the letters and the two hide in one of the letter bags. Basil and Grouch notice them and help Poro with the bags and they take off back to Lapland. In Lapland, the sleigh arrives at Santa’s palace. Yotan and Jiffy sneak out before Basil finds them and they run around the palace narrowly avoiding Basil. Basil eventually finds them and takes them to the crystal room where a magical crystal is being kept. He explains that Santa is two minutes older than him and says that Christmas isn’t what it’s supposed to be. He then makes Yotan retrieve the crystal and with Jiffy’s help is able to get it. Basil then betrays Yotan when he takes the crystal from him and leaves him behind. A group of elves and Poro arrive in the crystal room to find Yotan and Jiffy and the crystal missing. An elf named Jaga accuses Yotan of stealing the crystal. Santa Claus (credited as Joulupukki in original version) and his wife Maya arrive and react more calmly to Yotan’s presence. Basil calls from the control room revealing he stole the crystal. Jaga and another elf named Didi chase after Basil on rocket-powered skis but are shot down by Basil’s Robotics (Minion-like robots). Yotan hijacks the sleigh with the help of a younger elf named Alpo who only speaks in Elvish. Poro grabs on to the sleigh and it blasts out of the palace. Yotan earns Poro’s trust after he saves him. Santa reveals that the reason Basil needed Yotan was because he is at th
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project%20Nimbus	Project Nimbus () is a cloud computing project of the Israeli government and its military. The Israeli Finance Ministry announced April 2021, that the contract is to provide "the government, the defense establishment, and others with an all-encompassing cloud solution." Under the contract, the companies will establish local cloud sites that will "keep information within Israel's borders under strict security guidelines." Project Nimbus has four planned phases: the first is purchasing and constructing the cloud infrastructure, the second is crafting government policy for moving operations onto the cloud, the third is moving operations to the cloud, and the fourth is implementing and optimizing cloud operations. Under a $1.2 billion contract, technology companies Google (Google Cloud Platform) and Amazon (Amazon Web Services) were selected to provide Israeli government agencies with cloud computing services, including artificial intelligence and machine learning. The terms Israel set for the project contractually forbid Amazon and Google from halting services due to boycott pressure. The tech companies are also forbidden from denying service to any particular government entities. Criticism The contract has drawn rebuke and condemnation from the companies' shareholders as well as their employees, over concerns that the project will lead to further abuses of Palestinians' human rights in the context of the ongoing occupation and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Specifically, they voice concern over how the technology will enable further surveillance of Palestinians and unlawful data collection on them as well as facilitate the expansion of Israel's illegal settlements on Palestinian land. Ariel Koren, who had worked as a marketing manager for Google’s educational products and was an outspoken opponent of the project, was given the ultimatum of moving to São Paulo within 17 days or losing her job. In a letter announcing her resignation to her colleagues, Koren wrote that Google "systematically silences Palestinian, Jewish, Arab and Muslim voices concerned about Google’s complicity in violations of Palestinian human rights—to the point of formally retaliating against workers and creating an environment of fear," reflecting her view that the ultimatum came in retaliation for her opposition to and organization against the project. The No Tech For Apartheid petition has collected 47329 signatures (as of October 2023), which is "heeding the call from over 1000 Google and Amazon workers to rise up against the contract, known as Project Nimbus" and "demands Amazon & Google stop doing business with Israeli apartheid & powering the genocidal bombing of Palestinians in Gaza".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20PS/2%20Model%2025	The Personal System/2 Model 25 and its later submodels the 25 286 and 25 SX are IBM's lowest-end entries in the Personal System/2 (PS/2) family of personal computers. Like its sibling the Model 30, the Model 25 features an Industry Standard Architecture bus, allowing it to use expansion cards from its direct predecessors, the PC/XT and the PC/AT—but not from higher entries in the PS/2 line, which use Micro Channel. Unlike all other entries in the PS/2 line, the Model 25 and its submodels are built into an all-in-one form factor, with its cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitor and system board occupying the same enclosure. IBM oriented the Model 25 at home office workers and students. Development and release IBM unveiled the Model 25 on August 4, 1987. It is the fifth entry of the Personal System/2 range. The first Model 25 is powered by an Intel 8086 running at 8 MHz, roughly twice the speed of the original IBM Personal Computer. A college student-oriented version of the Model 25, the Collegiate, has two 720 KB floppy drives, with a maximum RAM capacity of 640 KB, and was packaged with the official PS/2 Mouse, Windows 2.0, and four blank floppy disks. In 1990, IBM released the Model 25 286, which upgrades the original to an Intel 80286 running at 10 MHz. In late 1991, IBM's Boca Raton facility, led by José García, developed the Model 25 SX, which features an Intel 80386SX clocked at 20 MHz. This version of the Model 25 was sold only to K–12 schools. The Model 25 series was never officially sold outside of the United States. IBM neither included nor supported hard disk drives in the original Model 25, although several aftermarket kits were available by late 1987. The later 25 286 and 25 SX were sold with a hard drive as an option. Reception Multiple contemporary reviewers compared the Model 25 to Apple's original Macintosh. Stephen Satchell of InfoWorld wrote when he first saw the Model 25 on its announcement: "[M]y immediate impression was that I was looking at a deformed Macintosh. When the stage lights came up, the illusion was shattered and I saw the similarity to the rest of the PS/2 line." David E. Sanger of The New York Times called the computer perhaps "the most attractive computer" that IBM had ever designed for people who only used their computer for up to a couple hours a day and while a "touch overpriced," it was "relatively inexpensive for an IBM." Sangler and Gus Venditto of PC Magazine were frustrated by the Model 25's lack of a built-in hard disk drive. Venditto wrote that, on launch, contemporary aftermarket hard drives were too large to be installed in either of the computer's two floppy drive bays—with no announcements for a hard drive solution for the Model 25 on the horizon. He also observed that the space for the top ISA slot on the riser is partially obstructed by the CRT monitor, preventing full-height cards from fitting into that slot. On the whole, he appreciated the sturdily built chassis and concluded that the Model 25 wa

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code%20property%20graph	In computer science, a code property graph (CPG) is a computer program representation that captures syntactic structure, control flow, and data dependencies in a property graph. The concept was originally introduced to identify security vulnerabilities in C and C++ system code, but has since been employed to analyze web applications, cloud deployments, and smart contracts. Beyond vulnerability discovery, code property graphs find applications in code clone detection, attack-surface detection, exploit generation, measuring code testability, and backporting of security patches. Definition A code property graph of a program is a graph representation of the program obtained by merging its abstract syntax trees (AST), control-flow graphs (CFG) and program dependence graphs (PDG) at statement and predicate nodes. The resulting graph is a property graph, which is the underlying graph model of graph databases such as Neo4j, JanusGraph and OrientDB where data is stored in the nodes and edges as key-value pairs. In effect, code property graphs can be stored in graph databases and queried using graph query languages. Example Consider the function of a C program: void foo() { int x = source(); if (x < MAX) { int y = 2 * x; sink(y); } } The code property graph of the function is obtained by merging its abstract syntax tree, control-flow graph, and program dependence graph at statements and predicates as seen in the following figure: Implementations Joern CPG. The original code property graph was implemented for C/C++ in 2013 at University of Göttingen as part of the open-source code analysis tool Joern. This original version has been discontinued and superseded by the open-source Joern Project, which provides a formal code property graph specification applicable to multiple programming languages. The project provides code property graph generators for C/C++, Java, Java bytecode, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, LLVM bitcode, and x86 binaries (via the Ghidra disassembler). Plume CPG. Developed at Stellenbosch University in 2020 and sponsored by Amazon Science, the open-source Plume project provides a code property graph for Java bytecode compatible with the code property graph specification provided by the Joern project. The two projects merged in 2021. Fraunhofer AISEC CPG. The provides open-source code property graph generators for C/C++, Java, Golang, and Python, albeit without a formal schema specification. It also provides the Cloud Property Graph, an extension of the code property graph concept that models details of cloud deployments. Galois’ CPG for LLVM. Galois Inc. provides a code property graph based on the LLVM compiler. The graph represents code at different stages of the compilation and a mapping between these representations. It follows a custom schema that is defined in its documentation. Machine learning on code property graphs Code property graphs provide the basis for several machine-learning-based approa

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahurangi%20Harbour	{ "type": "ExternalData", "service": "geoshape", "ids": "Q32251373", "properties": { "fill": "#73a3f0"}} Mahurangi Harbour is a natural harbour in New Zealand. It is located on the north-eastern coast of the Auckland Region near the town of Warkworth, and empties into the Hauraki Gulf. Geography The Mahurangi Harbour is a drowned river valley. Approximately 17,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Period when sea levels were significantly lower, the freshwater Mahurangi River flowed into the vast coastal plain that existed where the modern Hauraki Gulf exists. The river met the Waitematā Harbour (then a river) east of Kawau Island, and flowed north-east between modern day Little Barrier Island and Great Barrier Island, eventually emptying into the Pacific Ocean north of Great Barrier Island. The modern harbour formed approximately 7,200 years ago at the end of the last glacial maximum, when the forested valley was flooded by rising sea levels. Land use within the harbour's catchment basin has been changing, and models predict an increase in sedimentation. A number of settlements are found along the shores of the harbour: Mahurangi West, Pukapuka, Pohuehue, Snells Beach and Scotts Landing. The major town of Warkworth is located along the Mahurangi River, a tidal estuary of the harbour. The Mahurangi Regional Park is located at the headlands on either side of the entrance to the harbour. History The Mahurangi Harbour was settled by the Ngāti Rongo people of Ngāti Whātua/Te Kawerau descent, between the 17th and 20th centuries. Te Muri, to the south of the harbour's mouth, was a major settlement of Ngāti Rongo until the death of rangatira Te Hemara Tauhia in 1891. Sea captain John Sullivan moved to the area in the 1870s, settling at Otarawao and marrying Merehai Kaipuke, a Ngāti Rongo woman of high birth. Their family farmed the area for over a century. After being extensively hunted in the 19th century, southern right whales have returned and can again sometimes be seen in Mahurangi Harbour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-European%20Drug%20Information	The Trans-European Drug Information (TEDI) project is a European database compiling information from different drug checking services located on the European continent. The non-governmental organizations feeding into the database are referred to as the TEDI network. History The first drug checking service in Europe opened in 1986 in Amsterdam, allowing drug users to analyze the chemical composition of illicit substances that they consume. In the following years, a number of nonprofit organizations present in various other drug scenes in several countries (including in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland) set up drug checking services. In 2011, a database was created for to centralize information from these services and allow for the sharing of alerts (for example on new adulterants in illicit substances or circulation of novel psychoactive substance) and the monitoring of drug markets across borders. Between 2008 and 2013, organizations member of the TEDI network analyzed more than 45,000 samples of recreational drugs , showing similarities and discrepancies between areas of the European continent, in terms of purity, formulation, or prices. The TEDI project The project and network are hosted by the Polish nonprofit TEDI Nightlife Empowerment & Well-being Network (also known as NEW net or SaferNightlife). Network As of 2022, the TEDI network was integrated by 20 organizations across 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom). A team of professionals from various fields (substance use disorder prevention workers, pharmacists, chemists, etc.) across network member organizations constitutes the TEDI project's team. Database The aims of the Trans-European Drug Information project are to collect, monitor and analyze the evolution of the European recreational drug market trends, and to regularly report the findings. Since 2011, the database has facilitated the centralization and comparison of information collected at the local level. The TEDI database also feeds into the early warning system of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). EMCDDA and the TEDI network also collaborate on the organization of conferences and trainings. In 2019, the mobile application TripApp was launched by a consortium or organizations, sharing in real-time alerts from the TEDI database in addition to connecting app users with local harm reduction providers. The app received an award from the Council of Europe in 2021. Guidelines As part of the project, guidelines and methodological recommendations have been published, such as: Factsheets on drug checking services, Guidance for organizations willing to create a drug checking service, Training on personal support and counselling in nightlife settings, etc. See also Drug checking Harm reduction Substance use disorder Drug po

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fog%20Reveal	Fog Reveal is a tracking tool that aggregates location data from mobile apps. It is a product of FOG Data Science. FOG Data Science FOG Data Science is a limited liability company based in Virginia. It was founded in 2016 by two former United States Department of Homeland Security officials. Matthew Broderick, managing partner at the company, was director of operations for the DHS from 2005 to 2006. Functionality FOG Data Science purchases commercially available location data from Virginia-based company Venntel, collected from hundreds of mobile apps that sell information on user interests and movements, including the apps of Starbucks and Waze. The information is derived from advertising IDs, unique user IDs assigned to mobile devices allowing advertisers to track people's movements, habits, and usage of apps. Subscriptions to the service cost at least $7,500 per year. While the data is anonymized, officials have commented that competent law enforcement could use the information to identify individuals. According to FOG Data Science partner Matthew Broderick, their historical data profiles go back three years. Use by law enforcement Fog Reveal is used by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in the United States, since at least 2018. Documents procured by the Electronic Frontier Foundation through the Freedom of Information Act revealed that FOG Data Science had 40 contracts with "nearly two dozen agencies," including the Dallas Police Department and the Rockingham County, North Carolina sheriff's office. The software has been used to track individuals without requiring a search warrant. According to a 2022 Associated Press investigation supported by the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, law enforcement agencies used Fog Reveal "to search hundreds of billions of records from 250 million mobile devices, and harnessed the data to create location analyses known among law enforcement as 'patterns of life.'" Reception Privacy advocates raised concerns that the use of Fog Reveal by law enforcement agencies could constitute an unreasonable search and seizure, violating the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Electronic Frontier Foundation adviser Bennett Cyphers described the software as "sort of a mass surveillance program on a budget."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xx%20messenger	xx messenger is a cross-platform decentralized encrypted instant messaging service developed by PrivaTegrity Corporation. Messages are delivered over a variety of mix network first described in 2016. Users can send one-to-one and group messages, which can include voice notes and images. xx messenger uses usernames as identifiers which can be optionally attached to standard cellular telephone numbers or email addresses for contact discovery. All communications between users are secured with quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption. xx messenger's software is free and open-source. Its mobile clients are published under the 2-clause BSD License, while its server software is published under a modified, patent-protected Business Source License. History An alpha version of xx messenger was first presented on January 6, 2016 by David Chaum at the Real World Crypto conference with the stated goal of demonstrating a new type of mix network encryption scheme. The encryption scheme, known as PrivaTegrity, was described by Chaum and team of academic partners at Purdue University, Radboud University Nijmegen, University of Birmingham, and other schools. xx messenger was released to the public as a mobile app on Android and IOS on 25 January 2022. Architecture cMix xx messenger uses cMix - a network of decentralized servers that are run by independent operators in approximately 80 countries - for data transmission. cMix attempts to address traditional latency and scalability limitations of mix networks by performing computationally expensive public-key operations between mix nodes prior to any client data being transmitted over the network. Messages sent by users of xx messenger are grouped in batches of 1,000 and routed through a subset of cMix nodes. Once the mixing process is complete, each message can be retrieved and decrypted by their recipient. Encryption protocols The cMix protocol uses XChaCha20, BLAKE2b, HMAC-SHA-256, Diffie–Hellman key exchange, and Supersingular isogeny key exchange as cryptographic primitives. Messages are encrypted in two layers. The inner layer is encrypted with ChaCha20 symmetric encryption. This payload is then encrypted once more for transmission over the mixnet using multi-party ElGamal encryption. The encryption protocols, in addition to the properties provided by the mixnet, allow both anonymity preservation and traditional end-to-end security guarantees, as well as preliminary post-quantum security with a traditional fallback mechanism.
