https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inventory%20planning | Inventory planning involves using forecasting techniques to estimate the inventory required to meet consumer demand. The process uses data from customer demand patterns, market trends, supply patterns, and historical sales to generate a demand plan that predicts product needs over a specified period.
Using the demand plan, supply chain professionals collaborate with suppliers to ensure timely deliveries, manage warehouse stock levels, and set production schedules.
Advantages
Proper inventory planning provides several advantages. It helps manage cash flow, which is crucial for businesses, especially those with limited capital. Managing inventory costs and sourcing efficient inventory contributes to financial stability. Aligning inventory with market demand improves operational efficiency, as does consistent inventory turnover. However, managing obsolete stock is vital to avoid potential financial issues.
Structured inventory planning can also mitigate the risks of inventory misuse by employees. In situations lacking adequate oversight, potential risks such as theft or unauthorized use can negatively affect financial results.
Software
The use of software can further enhance inventory planning. Some notable software includes Inventory Planner by Sage, SAP IBP, Syrup Tech, and Toolio. Such software also automates various inventory tasks, promoting precise and efficient planning with reduced manual intervention.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated%20Air%20and%20Missile%20Defense%20Battle%20Command%20System | The United States Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense [IAMD] Battle Command System (IBCS) is a plug and fight network intended to let any defensive sensor (such as a radar) feed its data to any available weapon system (colloquially, "connect any sensor to any shooter"). The system is designed to shoot down short, medium, and intermediate range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase by intercepting with a hit-to-kill approach. IBCS has been developed since 2004, with the aim to replace Raytheon's Patriot missile (SAM) engagement control station (ECS), along with seven other forms of ABM defense command systems. In 2022, IBCS successfully completed initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E), and was approved for full-rate production in 2023.
US Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD)
The IBCS program is part of the Army's Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) effort. IBCS aims to create an integrated network of air defense sensors, such as AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel and AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR, AN/MPQ-53, AN/MPQ-65A and GhostEye (LTAMDS) in Patriot missile system, GhostEye MR in NASAMS, AN/TPY-2 in Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD), AN/SPY-1 and AN/SPY-6 in Aegis BMD, and AN/APG-81 in Lockeed Martin F-35 Lightning II, allowing them to interoperate with IBCS engagement control stations. IBCS engagement stations will be able to take fine control of army-fielded air-defense systems like Patriot and THAAD, directing radar positioning and suggesting recommended launchers; naval, aerial and Marine systems will only be able to share either radar tracks or raw radar data with the IBCS network. The Army requires all new missiles and air-defense systems to implement IBCS support.
First test flight - Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman was announced as the prime contractor in 2010; between 2009 and 2020, the Army had spent $2.7 billion on the program.
By May 2015, a first flight test integrated a networked S-280 engagement operations center with radar sensor and interceptor launchers. This test demonstrated a missile kill with the first interceptor. By Army doctrine, two interceptors were launched against that missile. By April 2016, IBCS tests demonstrated sensor fusion from disparate data streams, identification and tracking of targets, selection of appropriate kill vehicles, and interception of the targets, but the "IBCS software was 'neither mature nor stable'". On 1 May 2019 an Engagement Operations Center (EOC) for the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) was delivered to the Army, at Huntsville, Alabama.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV%20Piratini | TV Piratini was a terrestrial television station licensed to Porto Alegre, capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It was the first station outside of the Southeast region. It broadcast networked programming from Rede Tupi, of which it was an affiliate, as well as local programs. The station shut down alongside six other Tupi stations on July 18, 1980.
History
The first attempts at bringing a television license to the state date back to 1951, when Armando Balvê showed his interest to president Juscelino Kubitschek for the granting of a television license. The license was later granted to Maurício Sirotsky in 1957, said license was what would be TV Gaúcha, which signed on in 1962, the forefather of the current RBS TV. Assis Chateaubriand anticipated Balvê's license and announced a license for TV Farroupilha in 1955, which he quit, when in 1956 the license of TV Piratini was created. A local businessman offered stocks for the station for interested businesses.
The first experiments conducted by Chateaubriand on April 23, 1955, were held in a closed circuit system, fed to fifty television sets.
In 1958, during a radio variety show (Quando os galãs se encontram) on Rádio Farroupilha, Assis Cheateaubriand announced that TV Piratini was set to begin operations in December 1959.
In September 1959, sixteen radio staff received their television training in Rio de Janeiro, situation similar to another station that had yet to launch, TV Itapoan
The station shut down on at 11:55am on July 18, 1980. At the time the transmitters were being switched off, the station was airing a cartoon from Hanna-Barbera, when a Volkswagen car arrived with three technicians granted the order of turning off. Since this happened around lunch, most employees were outsidethe station's building, but escaped the press, unaware about the situation, believing that nothing happened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active%20Club%20Network | The Active Club Network are decentralized cells of white supremacy and neo-Nazi groups active in many U.S. states, with multiple chapters in other nations. Largely inspired by the defunct street-fighting Rise Above Movement and hooliganism, the network was created in January 2021 and it promotes mixed martial arts to fight against what it asserts is a system that is targeting the white race, as well as a "warrior spirit" to prepare for a forthcoming race war. Some extremism researchers have characterized the network as a "shadow or stand-by army" which is awaiting activation as the need for it arises.
Origins
The origin of the network has been traced to Robert Rundo, who formed the Rise Above Movement in Southern California in 2017. Facing federal rioting charges in the United States, Rundo left for southeastern Europe to promote the movement. He has described his goal as creating "White Nationalism 3.0" and envisioned a decentralized cell network that would be difficult for researchers and law enforcement to track. He created an online messaging and merchandising organization to encourage communications with other white supremacist groups, such as Patriot Front.
The network adheres to the Great Replacement and white genocide conspiracy theories, conspiracy theories which are based on the belief that elites, Jews and the mainstream media are jointly engaging in a global conspiracy to replace the white population of the world with non-white immigrants.
Developments
Rundo was extradited from Romania to face charges in the United States in August 2023. His supporters have held "Free Rundo" demonstrations in several countries, including Russia, Sweden, and Canada.
, the Anti-Defamation League found that Active Clubs have claimed to be present in at least 33 U.S. states. Active Clubs have also been formed in Lithuania, France, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, and Croatia.
The Guardian reported in August 2023 that some in the Clockwork Crew, a cell of about one dozen members in Long Beach, California, were serving or had served in the United States military. One cell member was expelled from the Marines after he and five others were caught "stealing more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition and several grenades from a weapons depot at Camp Pendleton" in 2021. A Clockwork Crew co-founder was court-martialed, sentenced to eleven months in the brig and given a bad conduct discharge for violating the Marine Corps's ban on the advocacy of extremist ideologies.
In September 2023, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) characterized the network as a transnational movement which seeks to create a "shadow or stand-by army" that can mobilize itself for the purpose of launching "coordinated, large-scale" violent attacks. A CEP study revealed that the network adhered to a strategy of "hiding in plain sight" by showing a "friendly face" to recruit young white men for fitness, sports and martial arts. Alexander Ritzmann, the author of the study, stated "I've never |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick%20Share | Quick Share is a wireless data transfer utility developed by Samsung Electronics. It comes with most Samsung Galaxy mobile devices and is also available for Windows. Quick Share utilises Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct to send files to nearby Galaxy and SmartThings devices, but it can also send to any other device anywhere using the Samsung Cloud, uploading the files to the web address quickshare.samsungcloud.com.
History
Quick Share debuted along with the Samsung Galaxy S20 and One UI 2.1, with rollout to other Galaxy smartphones and tablets later. Samsung claim the service was created to streamline the process of sending content, superseding a previous service named Link Sharing. Quick Share was launched for Windows-based Galaxy Book notebooks in 2021, and since July 2023 is no longer limited to Samsung Windows PCs but open for all.
Usage
Users can send files to up to 8 nearby Galaxy devices at a time, so long as they have the feature enabled and their screens are on. Quick Share can be toggled in the quick panel settings and the user can choose to receive content from anyone nearby, contacts only, or no one. Content transfer is made possible by choosing Share on e.g. a picture in the Gallery, and then choosing Quick Share, after which the sender chooses which nearby device(s) to send to.
To share with non-Galaxy devices either nearby or anywhere else, Quick Share uploads the files uncompressed to Samsung Cloud and then gives out the URL link, which is automatically copied to the clipboard, to be sent to the recipients by text. Alternatively, a QR code can also be created for recipients to scan if they are physically with the sender in person. Samsung Cloud automatically deletes the uploaded files after a period of two days, and it has a daily upload limit of 5 gigabytes.
The Quick Share app on Windows (available on Microsoft Store) enables Android Galaxy devices devices to instantly share files with Windows devices.
Private Share
Private Share is a derivative data transfer service which uses blockchain encryption, designed for important personal or financial information. The sender is able to set an expiry date for the files, which get automatically deleted from the recipients's devices. There is a 200 megabyte upload limit for senders. Like Quick Share, Private Share is also preloaded on Samsung Galaxy devices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More%20Than%20a%20Game%20%28Chris%20Doheny%20song%29 | "More Than a Game" is a song recorded by Australian musician Chris Doheny. The song was written by Darren Sanicki and John Albert as the theme song to the Nine Network's Australian rules football variety program The Footy Show. It was released as a stand-alone single in 1994, and remained the program's theme song until its demise in 2019. The song was also the subject of multiple legal disputes raised by Sanicki over copyright and intellectual property infringement.
Background and release
The genesis of what would become "More Than a Game" was conceived when Nine Network television producer Harvey Silver approached Doheny about penning a theme song for the pilot of a new football television program (what would become The Footy Show). Silver was a fan of Doheny through his work as front man of Melbourne pop rock band Geisha, and introduced him to both Darren Sanicki and Josh Abrahams, who would end up writing and co-producing the song respectively. Nine then licensed the song from Sanicki annually for a fee of A$10,000, with the agreement beginning on 12 April 1994 and renewing each subsequent year.
The phrase "more than a game" then began to be used frequently in newspaper headlines and captions to highlight the increasing relationship between commercialism and the sport itself. Surpassing football entirely, Reverend Tim Costello used the slogan "it's more than a game" as part of his campaign as a candidate for the Australian Constitutional Convention in November 1997. Costello himself was critical of Footy Show host Eddie McGuire's own ticket as part of the Australian Republic Movement, ultimately linking the phrase and the television program from which it was sourced.
A legal dispute arose in February 1998 over the name of a television special also entitled More Than a Game, which was produced by McGuire's production company McGuire Media and was to be broadcast on successive Thursdays ahead of the return of The Footy Show in March. Nine's Victorian managing director Ian Johnson described the copyright dispute brought upon them by Sanicki's solicitors Roth Warren as "one fight we're going to win". The specials would eventually be broadcast under its intended title.
Doheny performed the theme song live upon McGuire's return to hosting The Footy Show in August 2017 following a 12-year absence. Soon after, the song was once again at the centre of a legal dispute, this time more than two decades after its release. In September 2017, media reports revealed that co-writer Sanicki—a lawyer himself—had issued a writ against the Nine Network seeking compensation for loss and damages for what he described as an "unauthorised use of the song". Sanicki had taken Nine to the Federal Court in the case of Darren Sanicki v. General Television Corporation Pty. Ltd. on 24 July 2017. On 15 December 2017, almost three months after Nine's defence was submitted (which itself prompted a reply from Sanicki a fortnight later), Justice Bernard Murphy gave his final |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephony%20copper%20plant%20retirement%20in%20the%20United%20Kingdom | As in many other countries, the United Kingdom is retiring its part of the global circuit-switched public switched telephone network.
British Telecom, the country's dominant telco, announced its intention to switch off its PSTN infrastructure by December 2025, including both copper baseband landline telephone connections and its ISDN network. BT Openreach, the major telecommunications infrastructure provider in the United Kingdom, is also due to retire its Wholesale Line Rental service.
This process has been planned since 2017, and will roll out in a series of phases. All providers are expected to implement Voice over IP and other IP-based network services to replace copper PSTN and ISDN connections.
PSTN switch-off
All major British telcos. including other Broadband Stakeholder Group companies such as Virgin Media and Sky UK that have their own infrastructure, will also cease to support both copper PSTN and fibre ISDN connections. Instead, analog landline telephones will be expected to connect to adaptors on home routers, and businesses connecting to the PSTN via ISDN connections will be expected to move to SIP connections to the VoIP network, a transition that has already been performed by many companies.
Voice telephony will continue to follow the E.163 and E.164 standards, as with current mobile telephony, with the interface to end-users remaining the same. Traditional analog telephones will continue to operate via traditional analog phone sockets, but with those phone sockets now terminating at the on-premises router or PBX. No changes will need to be made to the mobile phone networks, which already interconnect via data networking technologies.
Retirement of the copper last-mile access network
Copper landlines will continue to be used for ADSL and VDSL Internet access for the time being. Fibre to the premises Internet access is planned to be rolled out nationally, allowing the eventual retirement of the entire copper telephone network. BT Openreach's copper plant has been reported to have billions of pounds of scrap value, even after accounting for the value of removal, with over a million tonnes of copper buried under the streets. Full retirement of the copper access network is expected to stretch into the 2030s.
One problem with the replacement of the copper last mile is the discontinuation of electrical power to devices via the phone network, including critical devices such as health monitors. Work is in progress to address these problems.

This line of research has also led her to the study of the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary and the formation of suevite in meteor impacts. She is a senior researcher in the in Russia, and a senior researcher at the Planetary Science Institute in Arizona, US.
Education and career
Artemieva was born in Yekaterinburg in 1959. She studied at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, finishing a degree there in 1982, and became a researcher for the of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union, from which the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics spun off in the 1990s.
Her interest in meteor impacts was sparked by the 1994 impact with Jupiter of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9. This led her to develop SOVA, a code for modeling the hypersonic flows arising in meteor impacts. She defended a doctoral dissertation on her work in 1996, jointly supervised by Ivan Nemtchinov and Valery Shuvalov, through the Moscow Intitute of Physics and Technology.
She started visiting the University of Arizona and the Planetary Science Institute in 2000, and in 2006 she became a senior researcher at the Planetary Science Institute.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic%20Software%20Engineering | Systematic is a multinational software company based in Aarhus, Denmark. It specialises in systems that support decision-making. Primarily, these have been command and control (C2) systems for commanders in armed forces.
By 2023, its battlefield management system was reported to be used by 45 nations. As an open sourced system, it enables interoperability between force elements, notably between allied forces. Other than the military of its home nation, Denmark, its systems have been adopted by the Australian Army, British Army, New Zealand Defence Force, United States Army and many European based NATO forces, such as the Slovenian Armed Forces, Swedish Armed Forces and the Bundeswehr.
Systematic's civilian applications extend to patient management, library data management and management of energy generation and delivery.
History
In 1985, two software engineers at the state-owned technology company, Datacentralen, Michael Holm and Allan Schytt, discussed a system for tracking the movement of warships on the Baltic Sea for Danish Fleet Command. They incorporated a new company in Aarhus, to develop the software. The company was briefly known as Informatik and Oplysing, or Infop ApS, before settling on Systematic Software Engineering. Though later registered as Systematic A/S, it is more commonly known as Systematic.
1980s-1990s: Message format innovation
After delivering the force tracking software for the Royal Danish Navy, the group developed a Variable Message Format communications platform, for use between NATO partners, known as IRIS. It is characterised by one defence analyst, Joseph J Molitoris, as a “comprehensive message handling and formatting system” that is “compliant with multiple USMTF and JVMF baselines.”
2000s: Battle management development
IRIS became the foundation software for more complex systems for battle management. By 2011 Systematic had iterated blue force tracking software, called SitaWare, which the Danish army began using on operations. Originally designed to provide situational awareness to commanders in the land domain, SitaWare generates a common operational picture that can be shared between operators in battle with partner forces. The first military force to use SitaWare was Denmark. It's understood that the first land force to adopt SitaWare, outside of Denmark, was the Slovenian Army.
2010s: Expansion and combat deployment
During the War in Afghanistan, several ISAF partners deployed SitaWare as their command and control system, such as the Danish Army, Slovenian Ground Force and Swedish Armed Forces. The Swedish army began training with SitaWare Headquarters and SitaWare WebCOP from 2010, then formed part of Regional Command North in Mazar-e Sharif, with 500 soldiers. Its force tracking capabilities may have prevented fratricide.
The 2014 Russian invasion of Crimea affected uptake of the system, particularly amongst US commanders, and it was chosen over Raytheon for their requirements. By 2017, the US |

The series features former Ghost Hunters alumnus Brandon Alvis, founder of the American Paranormal Research Association (APRA), and Mustafa Gatollari. Other investigators include Kevin Otte, Malia Miglino, and noted scientist Harry Kloor.
Premise
The series follows a team of APRA paranormal investigators led by Alvis and Gatollari, who investigate haunted locations in Kentucky and Illinois to see if they can document evidence using scientific methodology. The style of the TV series has a more documentary focus and cinematic feel as it highlights "both the paranormal evidence and the historical significance" of alleged haunted locations.
Production
Haunted Discoveries originally started production in early 2022 as an eight episode paranormal TV series that investigated historical locations in Kentucky. These locations include the Grand Victorian Inn in Park City, the Hall Place Bed & Breakfast in Glasgow, and the Old Talbott Tavern in Bardstown.
Following the completion of the eight episodes, Alvis and Gatollari announced in June 2022 that they would begin filming season two with all new locations.
In 2023, T+E licensed the rights to air the series in Canada.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benton%20Harbor%20BASIC | Benton Harbor BASIC and Extended Benton Harbor BASIC were two versions of the BASIC programming language written by Heathkit for their H8 microcomputers. The BASICs were patterned on Dartmouth BASIC, and thus differ in many respects from the many Microsoft BASIC clones of the late-1970s era. The two differ from each other in that the former was able to run in machines with only 8 kB of main memory and only supported string constants, while Extended required 12 kB and added string variables and additional features. It is named after the town where Heathkit was located.
History
Heathkit had been watching the emerging microcomputer field since 1974, but at the time, they could not figure out what any of the traditional Heath customers would use one for. Attitudes changed when MITS introduced the Altair 8800 kit in January 1975 and it was a runaway bestseller. Heathkit began a program to develop their own kit that would be much superior to the Altair, which was known to have poor reliability due to a number of design decisions. The concept of building a computer remained a heated issue in the company, but started moving forward after one engineer stated "All right, we'll build a computer. But we're not going to get involved in software!"
The idea of not getting involved in software quickly revealed itself as a bad one. Although the new design was largely a cleaned up Altair, or S-100 bus design as they were known by this time, it differed enough that software for the Altair would not run without conversion. This would leave the prospective owner will little or nothing to do with their computer. The decision was made to sell the systems with at least some fundamental programs, but no one in the company had any software experience.
The company contacted Wintek of Lafayette, Indiana to write a suite of programs for the system. Wintek sent one of their programmers, Gordon Letwin, to the Heath headquarters in Benton Harbor, Michigan to meet with them. The project lead, Louis Frenzel, was surprised to find him coming to a business meeting with long hair, high-top sneakers and a velvet coat, but quickly realized he knew what he was doing and decided to hire him directly.
Letwin's first project was HDOS, an operating system for the platform. With this completed, he began work on BASIC. The first versions were extremely simple, supporting only the most basic functionality, limited to 6 digits of precision, lacking string manipulation, and only allowing a single statement per line. This version shipped with all H8 systems. For $10, the user could also purchase Extended BASIC, which started at Version 10, which added string variables and various additional functions.
The system was not particularly well reviewed. One review called it "medium quality" and expressed concern about how slow it was, some 10 times slower than North Star BASIC. Additionally, in spite of Heath's claims that Extended offered improved performance, benchmarking by one user demonstrat |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early%20prime%20time | In American television, early prime time is a programming practice of airing television prime time programming an hour earlier than normal. It is most applicable in the Pacific Time Zone, where prime time programming generally airs from 8 to 11 p.m. (as on the East Coast), as opposed to 7 to 10 p.m. as in the Central and Mountain time zones.
Interest by network affiliates on the West Coast in moving their prime time schedules up an hour to account for changing lifestyles and viewing habits took root most notably in Northern California, where NBC permitted KCRA-TV in Sacramento to experiment with an early prime time schedule beginning in 1991. In nearby San Francisco, KRON-TV (the NBC affiliate) and KPIX-TV (the CBS affiliate) both began using early prime time in 1992; KPIX was joined by KMST in Monterey in adopting early prime. In the case of the San Francisco stations, the NBC and CBS affiliates wanted to compete with the dominant 10 p.m. newscast of Fox affiliate KTVU. However, ABC refused to switch its San Francisco station, KGO-TV, and generally barred its affiliates from adopting the practice. While the only stations to adopt early prime were in Northern California, other stations in the Pacific Time Zone were supportive of the idea.
Early prime improved the stations' ratings for their late newscasts, moved from 11 to 10 pm, but reduced ratings for the first hour of prime time. It also cost the stations valuable local advertising inventory in the 7 to 8 p.m. hour, known as prime access, when stations air syndicated shows. KMST reverted to normal prime time after a year in January 1993, largely for technical and financial reasons. Under strong pressure by NBC, KCRA and KRON abandoned early prime in September 1993, while KPIX continued the practice until 1998; it was credited for raising ratings for The Late Show with David Letterman. The last new network affiliate to adopt early prime scheduling was KOVR in Sacramento, which switched from ABC to CBS in 1995 and concurrently began airing prime time at 7 pm. KOVR continues this practice, even after its acquisition by CBS in 2005.
Conception and adoption
As early as 1982, KRON-TV, the NBC affiliate in San Francisco owned by Chronicle Broadcasting, began to advocate for the network to allow its West Coast affiliates to air prime time an hour earlier. Francis Martin, Chronicle's president, originally pitched the concept to the network as a way to bust the network out of third place in the national ratings. Another reason the stations wanted to see the concept put into practice was that television viewing peaked earlier on the West Coast than it did on the East Coast. In San Diego, viewing reached its evening peak at 9:45 p.m. and then fell off an hour later. KCRA executives cited studies showing that potential audiences were 50 percent larger at 10 p.m. than at 11 pm; a later survey for San Francisco's CBS affiliate, Group W–owned KPIX-TV, found that 42 percent of Bay Area TV viewers were in be |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganimal | A ganimal, also commonly referred to as GANimal, is a hybrid animal created with Generative artificial intelligence systems, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) or diffusion models. The term ganimal is a portmanteau between the words "animal" and "GAN." It is typically used to refer to a hybrid animal generated by interpolating between distinct species; the term can also refer to any AI-generated creatures that have not been identified in reality. Ganimals are closely related to Artbreeder, an online website for blending images with AI.
There exist 78,210 ganimals generated from hybrid pairs of animal labels from BigGAN (G1) and 3,058,362,945 ganimals generated from blending G1 ganimals.
Example ganimals
The Baby Oagen is a ganimal combing a great white shark and a golden retriever. The Golden Foofa is a ganimal combining a golden retriever and a goldfish.
Meet the Ganimals
Meet the Ganimals is an online platform that allows visitors to generate, blend and curate ganimals. As of June 2020, 44,791 ganimals were generated, 8,547 ganimals were bred, and 743 ganimals were named by a total of 10,657 users. It also has an educational component where visitors can play with blending and learn about AI.
Evolution and ganimal morphology
Because ganimals exist within an attention economy and evolve based on human preferences, charismatic megafauna (e.g. ganimals with cute, dog-like morphologies) become the most popular. However, social cues can increase the diversity of the ganimals ecosystem and lead to the success of unconventional ganimals, such as those without eyes or that live underwater.
The Barracuda Effect
Although there is typically no human morphology used to synthesize ganimals, creepy humanoid characters would emerge whenever animals were bred with a barracuda. This occurs because many pictures on the internet of barracudas include a human holding the fish up as a prized catch. This highlights a cultural form of algorithmic bias embedded in the training data of AI systems.
In popular culture
Ganimals have appeared in the Artificial Intelligence exhibition at the Vienna Technical Museum. They also appeared in the Ties That Cannot Be Unbound virtual exhibition at New Art City.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff%20Huston%20%28internet%29 | Geoff Huston is a scientist who orchestrated the construction of the first internet network in between Australian universities known as AARNet.
Career
Studies
Geoff Huston studied at the Australian National University where he both got his Bachelor of Science and then his Masters of Science which specialized in computer science. He then kept on working at ANU on computer networks.
Work on AARNet
Computer networks had become common within universities but there were no real networks connecting universities to each other except for small networks like CISRONET and SPEARNet. These single protocol networks were not compatible with every computer and therefore had not been widely adopted. The lack of a real network in between universities a decade after the creation of ARPANet pushed academics to organize in an attempt to create a network similar to it. The Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee was approached to build the network and following a review of the initiative they recruited Huston to design and implement the network. He was chosen for the job because he had already worked on a plan to build the network previously.
After his plan was approved, Huston bought the necessary routers and set off with his colleague Peter Elford to set up these routers on each campus effectively bringing in 1990 the long awaited Australian Academic and Research Network online. The network was extremely popular from the get go and required constant upgrades to keep up with demand. The pressure to upgrade the network was so strong that the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee sold AARNet to Telstra in 1995. This acquisition also included Huston as his expertise on the network was key for its development.
Work post AARNet
While Telstra's 1996 proposal for AARNet2 was not accepted, Huston stayed at the company and developed the it's Internet offerings as the Chief Internet Scientist until 2005. During that time period he also was a member and then the executive director of the Internet Architecture Board, a member of the board trustees and then the chair of the Internet Society, a member of the board of the Public Internet Registry and the chair of the Internet Engineering and Planning Group among others.
Current Activities
He is currently working for the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre as Chief Scientist. He is also an active member of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
Opinions
While looking back at his role in the spread of the Internet, Geoff has expressed frustration at how the Internet has been developed and how it has impacted society. He referred to it as a "gigantic vanity-reinforcing distorted TikTok selfie". He believes that the fundamental protocols that underpin the Web have been badly programmed and that they do not guarantee a safe internet. Likewise he thinks that the Internet has been perverted into a space in which misinformation is rampant and where a new predatory marketplace has been established. He also supports and advocates f |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic%20Media%20Network | Republic Media Network, is an Indian media conglomerate, co-founded by Arnab Goswami and Rajeev Chandrasekhar. It headquarters in Mumbai, India. Republic Media Network consists 4 channels, Republic TV, Republic Bharat, Republic Bangla, Republic Kannada.
History
Background
Arnab Goswami resigned as editor-in-chief of Times Now on 1 November 2016, citing editorial differences, lack of freedom and newsroom politics. He hosted the last edition of his show, The Newshour Debate, a fortnight later. Incidentally, the show had been subject to an investigation by Ofcom, the UK broadcasting regulatory authority, in August and September; the investigation had held Times Now guilty of violating the impartiality clause of its broadcast code.
On 16 December, Goswami announced his next venture — a news channel called Republic; the name was later changed to Republic TV in the face of complaints by Subramanian Swamy. Republic TV was hyped as India's first independent media outlet which would 'democratize' news and compete with global media giants whilst being unabashedly pro-India.
Funding
Republic TV was funded in part by Asianet (ARG Outlier Asianet News Private Limited), which was primarily owned by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a then-independent member of Rajya Sabha who had political links with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and was vice-chairman of the National Democratic Alliance in Kerala. Among other major investors were Goswami himself, his wife Samyabrata Goswami, educationists Ramdas Pai and Ramakanta Panda — all of whom invested through SARG Media Holding Private Ltd.
Chandrasekhar resigned from the board, after he officially joined the BJP in April 2018; Goswami purchased back Asianet's shares in May 2019.
Recruitments
The Wire and Newslaundry had come across an internal memo floated by Chandrasekhar's group that asked for selective recruitment of right-of-center pro-military voices, who were conducive to his ideology.
S. Sundaram, who had served as the CFO for Times Now between 2005 and 2012, was named the Group CFO. Chief Business Officer of Reliance Broadcast Network Vikas Khanchandani, who had earlier stints as Senior Vice President of NDTV, was made the CEO and co-founder of The News Minute, Chitra Subramaniam was roped in as the editorial adviser. Others who joined included senior anchor of Thanthi TV S. A. Hariharan, retired army officer and television personality Gaurav Arya, former chief correspondent from Jammu and Kashmir for Times Now Aditya Raj Kaul, writer and founder-editor of Gentleman, Minhaz Merchant and actor Anupam Kher.
Launch
Republic TV was launched on 6 May 2017 as Flagship channel, through most direct-to-home television in India and cable television operators, alongside over mobile platforms such as JioTV and Hotstar. Reporting on its launch, Business Standard wrote "The company has already hired 300 people, of whom 215 are on board. A state-of-the-art-studio is being built in Mumbai's Lower Parel area."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo%20Cyber%20Squad | Tokyo Cyber Squad, often shortened as TCS, was a professional wrestling stable that performed in World Wonder Ring Stardom. The stable was led by Hana Kimura and primarily also consisted of Death Yama-san, Jungle Kyona, Konami, Rina and Ruaka.
History
Formation
On September 24, 2018, Hana Kimura betrayed Oedo Tai by attacking Kagetsu with a chair during one of his matches. Following the match, Kimura declared that she was no longer affiliated with Oedo Tai. Kimura then began teaming up with numerous foreign wrestlers, forming a loose collective referred to as the International Army. For the 2019 Stardom Draft, International Army was recognized as an official stable and Kimura was designated as the leader. At the draft on April 14, 2019, an elimination match took place between the leaders of the International Army (Kimura), J.A.N. (Jungle Kyona), Oedo Tai (Kagetsu), Queen's Quest (Momo Watanabe) and Stars (Mayu Iwatani) to determine the draft order, with the stipulation that the losing unit had to disband. Kimura earned the final draft spot by eliminating Kyona, which led to J.A.N. disbanding. During the draft, Kimura retained Bobbi Tyler, Mary Apache and Rebel Kel from the International Army, while also drafting Konami from Queen's Quest, Natsumi and Rina from Stars, and Kaori Yoneyama, Jungle Kyona and Ruaka from the now disbanded J.A.N. Although Apache and Natsumi were drafted to the International Army, they never wrestled as a part of the stable.
Hana Kimura's leadership (2019-2020)
On April 21, 2019, the stable was renamed to Tokyo Cyber Squad. On May 6, Rebel Kel wrestled in Stardom for the last time. On May 6, Kaori Yoneyama debuted her new Death Yama-san gimmick, which is the persona she would continue to use from then on while wrestling with Tokyo Cyber Squad. On May 16, Hana Kimura, Jungle Kyona and Konami won the Artist of Stardom Championship by defeating Stars (Mayu Iwatani, Saki Kashima, and Tam Nakano). At Shining Destiny on June 16, Bobbi Tyler, Death Yama-san and Ruaka faced Zoe Lucas and Stars (Saki Kashima and Saya Iida). During the match, Lucas betrayed her team and joined Tokyo Cyber Squad. On June 23, Kimura, Konami and Kyona lost the Artist of Stardom Championship back to Kashima, Iwatani and Nakano. On July 15, Konami and Kyona won the Goddess of Stardom Championship by defeating Queen's Quest (Momo Watanabe and Utami Hayashishita). On November 11, Bobbi Tyler wrestled in Stardom for the final time. On December 15, Lucas wrestled in Stardom for the final time.
On January 4, 2020, Leyla Hirsch wrestled alongside Kimura and Kyona, after which Hirsch would continue to wrestle with Tokyo Cyber Squad. On January 19, Konami and Kyona lost the Goddess of Stardom Championship to Oedo Tai (Bea Priestley and Jamie Hayter). On March 11, Hirsch left Japan to return home, meaning she could no longer participate as a member of Tokyo Cyber Squad. On May 23, Kimura committed suicide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions%20on%20geographic%20data%20in%20South%20Korea | South Korean geographic data and information is subject to several restrictions, and its reuse is among the most restrictive within developed economies. South Korean government defends the restrictions on the grounds of national security, while a number of international critics argue that it constitutes a form of protectionism and a trade barrier.
Legal situation
South Korean geographic data is subject to several restrictions. due to laws such as (also known as the Act on Construction and Management of Spatial Information). Article 16, Paragraph 1 of that law prohibits state-led survey data from crossing the physical boundaries of Korea, or Article 26 of the Security Regulations on National Spatial Information that states that the aerial photographs containing the national security and military facilities should not be open to the public.
Consequences
This has led to poorer performance of international platforms such as Google Maps or Apple Maps in South Korea, which cannot offer real time or precise directions, impacting various services (including games like Pokémon Go, but also more basic functionality such as driving or walking directions). The South Korean government has repeatedly justified this policy on the basis of national security, citing the threat of North Korea and specific security concerns such as the danger of unblurred satellite imagery of domestic military facilities, although a number of observes have also noted that the current situations benefits local Korean competitors of internationals services (such as Naver, Kakao or Daum, which provide their own map services).
Korean law and implementation has been noted to be among the most restrictive within developed economies and have been called a trade barrier. United States trade representatives suggested that it infringes on the KORUS FTA between the countries, which does not. in theory, allows for discrimination between domestic and imported digital products. On the other hand, the extra burden forced on domestic companies which have to implement censorship can reduce the quality of services offered and therefore, their competitiveness.
Similar legal concerns have led to self-censorship in Korean media, prompting arguments that it hurts the ability of Koreans to judge the veracity of claims of North Korean propaganda.
The argument about national security has been criticized due to the fact that comparison between internationally available satellite imagery and South-Korean-government approved censored one can actually facilitate identification of military objects that presumably should be hidden, making them more, not less, vulnerable. Further, some of the objects classified as military facilities and censored have little realistic military value, such as military-affiliated golf courses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted%20Heart%20%28Christina%20Aguilera%20song%29 | "Haunted Heart" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Christina Aguilera, taken from the soundtrack to the 2019 computer-animated black comedy film The Addams Family. The song was written by Aguilera, Antonina Armato and Tim James, and produced by the latter two (comprising the duo Rock Mafia). It was released as a single on September 27, 2019, by RCA Records.
A fusion of pop, jazz and soul, the song tells the story of a passionate romantic relationship. It is a retro-style recording, reminiscent of songs from Aguilera's Back to Basics album, and dedicated to a gothic icon — Morticia Addams. "Haunted Heart" was praised by music critics, who complimented its production and Aguilera's soulful vocal delivery, and it also received a nomination for the Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Original Song in an Animated Film.
Background and release
On September 10, 2019, it was announced that Christina Aguilera, Snoop Dogg, and Migos would be featured on the soundtrack for the animated film The Addams Family. Jonathan Glickman, MGM's Motion Picture Group President, said that: "Christina Aguilera, Migos, (...) and Snoop Dogg are all powerhouse talents. We could not have asked for a better lineup of global superstars to help audiences embrace the weird and celebrate the absurd with two brand-new songs that perfectly compliment this fresh fun take on MGM's beloved franchise, just in time for Halloween."
The soundtrack for MGM's The Addams Family was promoted by two singles; the first of them was "My Family" performed by Migos, Karol G, Rock Mafia, and Snoop Dogg. "Haunted Heart" was then released as a second single from the film. It was made available for streaming and digital download on September 27, 2019. Three days ahead of the single's release Aguilera tweeted: "I’m so excited be a part of this iconic favorite creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky fam." In 2021, she also contributed to The Addams Family 2 soundtrack, and recorded a new version of the franchise's classic musical theme.
Composition
"Haunted Heart" is a torch song which tells the story of a gothic love story,
and mainly incorporates pop, soul and jazz genres, as well as elements of blues and R&B. Some music critics noted that "Haunted Heart" was in style with Aguilera's fifth studio album Back to Basics (2006). Among the instruments used during the recording sessions were baritone saxophones, muted jazz-styled drums, and horns, and the track itself opens with the sound of a siren. Aguilera revealed that the song "resonated" with her because it gave her the opportunity to portray a certain character. She was also captivated by its retro style and soulful convention. While recording "Haunted Heart," Aguilera was inspired by the work of Billie Holiday and Screamin' Jay Hawkins, as well as their "predatory" vocal style.
The song was written by Aguilera, Antonina Armato, and Tim Jones (comprising the duo Rock Mafia), and the two latter are responsible for the production |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve%20Hoberman | Steve Hoberman is an American data modeler, writer and data modeling instructor. He is a lecturer at Columbia University in the Applied Analytics graduate program. He is the recipient of the 2012 Data Administration Management Association (DAMA) International Professional Achievement Award.
Early life
Steve Hoberman was born and educated in Queens, New York. He graduated from Queens College in 1990 with a major in computer science and minors in business and math.
Career
He joined Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) in 1990. Bellcore sponsored his Master of Science in Information Networking degree at Carnegie Mellon University, where he graduated in 1991. While at Bellcore, he worked as an analyst and data modeler on a team tasked with building an enterprise data model for the telecommunications industry. This project provided exposure to various disciplines of the 1990s, including enterprise data modeling, object-oriented modeling techniques, Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE), and metadata repositories.
In 1994, he began working on Wall Street, where he performed data modeling work for critical financial applications. In 1997, Hoberman joined Mars, Inc. as their Data Warehouse Architect. During his nine-year tenure at Mars, he held various roles, including Lead Data Modeler, Developer Team Lead, and SAP Functional Analyst.
Hoberman's first book was published in 2001. He authored "Data Modeling Made Simple." Since then, he has written or coauthored over 15 books on data modeling and published more than 150 books on data.
Some of Hoberman's innovations used by organizations worldwide include:
Importance of precision
Hoberman's definition of a data model is a "precise representation of an information landscape." Precision means the model can be read only one way, making it an essential diagram for application development.
Data model settings
Hoberman teaches that five settings can categorize all data models. It is important to decide the Scope, Focus, Filter, Timer, and Mode before starting to build any data model.
Data Model Scorecard
Hoberman's assessment approach for reviewing a data model includes analyzing a data model across ten categories: Correctness, Completeness, Scheme, Structure, Abstraction, Standards, Readability, Definitions, Consistency, and Data.
Normalization approach
Hoberman has a unique approach to normalizing a model up to Fifth Normal Form (5NF). It is a "hiking up a mountain" analogy that he has used for over 25 years.
Abstraction Safety Guide
Hoberman's three-question approach focusing on Commonality, Value, and Effort helps data modelers decide where to abstract.
Business Terms Model
He redefined the Conceptual Data Model (CDM) into a Business Terms Model (BTM) to make it more useful and applicable to a business audience, including data governance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20EmuParadise | The Emuparadise was a website that hosted a large database of video game ROMs, translated games, and other gaming-related files. The website was founded in 2000 by MasJ, The Emuparadise offered ROMs for a wide variety of gaming platforms, including consoles, handhelds, and arcade machines. The Emuparadise paradise had discontinued most of its libraries after legal action from Japanese video game company Nintendo.
History
The Emuparadise was founded in 2000 by MasJ, a Dutch video game enthusiast. MasJ was inspired to create the website after he had difficulty finding ROMs for old video games that he wanted to play.
Emuparadise quickly became one of the most popular websites in Gaming platforms. In 2010, the website had over 10 million unique visitors per month. By 2015, that number had grown to over 20 million unique visitors per month.
In 2017, Nintendo filed lawsuits against two websites that hosted ROMs, including Emuparadise. Nintendo argued that the websites were infringing on its copyrights.
In 2018, Emuparadise voluntarily shut down its ROM hosting service. . The website also continued to host other gaming-related content, such as emulator software, game guides, and walkthroughs. However, in 2020, Emuparadise completely shut down all of its libraries. Emuparadise offered ROMs for a wide variety of gaming platforms, including consoles, handhelds, and arcade machines. The website also offered ROMs for translated games, which are games that have been translated into a different language than the original language.
Closure
The Emuparadise shut down its ROM hosting service in 2018. The website continued to host other gaming-related content, such as emulator software, game guides, and walkthroughs. However, in 2020, The Emuparadise completely shut down.
The closure of Emuparadise was a major loss for the gaming community. The website was a valuable resource for gamers who wanted to play classic video games on their computers or other devices.
Legal issues
The Emuparadise has been involved in several legal disputes over the years. In 2017, Nintendo filed lawsuits against two websites that hosted ROMs, including Emuparadise. Nintendo argued that the websites were infringing on its copyrights.
In 2018, Emuparadise voluntarily shut down its ROM hosting service. The website continued to host other gaming-related content, such as emulator software, game guides, and walkthroughs. However, in 2020, Emuparadise completely shut down.
It is unclear why Emuparadise completely shut down in 2020. It is possible that the website was facing additional legal challenges from Nintendo or other game companies.
Data Breach
Accounts of more than 1 million gamers in 2019 were reportedly leaked after The EmuParadise suffered a data breach, according to multiple reports. Some of those impacted by the data breach of the retro gaming site, which used to host ROM, said that over the weekend, they started receiving notices that their accounts had been comprom |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester%20Mackey | Lester Mackey is an American computer scientist and statistician. He is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research and an adjunct professor at Stanford University. Mackey develops machine learning methods, models, and theory for large-scale learning tasks driven by applications from climate forecasting, healthcare, and the social good. He was named a 2023 MacArthur Fellow.
Early life and education
Mackey grew up in Long Island. He has said that, as a teenager, the Ross Mathematics Program in number theory introduced him to proof-based mathematics, where he learned about induction and rigorous proof. He got his first taste of academic research at the Research Science Institute. He joined Princeton University as an undergraduate student, where he earned his BSE in Computer Science. There he conducted research with Maria Klawe and David Walker. Mackey was a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a PhD in Computer Science (2012) and an MA in Statistics (2011). At Berkeley, his dissertation, advised by Michael I. Jordan, included work on sparse principal components analysis (PCA) for gene expression modeling, low-rank matrix completion for recommender systems, robust matrix factorization for video surveillance, and concentration inequalities for matrices. After Berkeley, he joined Stanford University, first as a postdoctoral fellow working with Emmanuel Candès and then as an assistant professor of statistics and, by courtesy, computer science. At Stanford, he created the Statistics for Social Good working group.
Research and career
In 2016, Mackey joined Microsoft Research as a researcher and was appointed as an adjunct professor at Stanford University. He was made a principal researcher in 2019.
Mackey's early work developed a method to predict progression rates of people with ALS. He used the PRO-ACT database of clinical trial data and Bayesian inference to predict disease prognosis. He has also developed machine learning models for subseasonal climate and weather forecasting, to more accurately predict temperature and precipitation 2-6 weeks in advance. His models outperform the operational, physics-based dynamical models used by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied%20Magnetics%20Corporation | Applied Magnetics Corporation (AMC), in operation from 1957 to 2000, was a manufacturer of magnetic heads used in recording information on magnetic tape and computer disks.
Founder
AMC was founded by Harold Frank in 1957 in Goleta, California.
Frank served in WWII as a radio operator and Morse code specialist. After the war, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Washington State University in 1948. After graduation, Frank began work with a seismic crew at Conoco in Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Texas where he helped develop a magnetic tape recording process to assist with geophysical exploration and the identification of oil deposits. Based on his interest in and experience with magnetic recording, he founded Applied Magnetics Corporation in 1957 in a spare bedroom of his house in Goleta.
Company history
In the beginning, AMC was a one-man company with Frank serving as administrator, engineer, salesman, and shop worker.
AMC's first government contract came when the company had only seven employees; good performance led to the award of a US Air Force contract in 1961 to produce specialized magnetic recording systems. By 1968, the company had 850 employees and 17 divisions.
AMC recording heads were used on many NASA crewed and uncrewed space flights. AMC magnetic heads were aboard Mariner spacecraft for photographic fly-bys of Mars; photos were recorded digitally and in analog for reproduction and transmission to Earth for electronic processing at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. On Mercury and Gemini missions, and continuing through Apollo 11, AMC's were the only magnetic recording heads to qualify against crucial NASA standards for operation in the unique space environment. The equipment recorded flight temperatures, pressures, vibration, acceleration, communications, and numerous other critical functions, all of which were transmitted back to Mission Control in Houston, TX. In 1969, NASA presented an award to AMC's research director in recognition of the company's contribution to the advancement of magnetic recording technology.
AMC's stock began trading publicly on the New York Stock Exchange in July 1971, by which time the company had manufacturing facilities in the US, Korea, Belgium, Portugal, Barbados, and Puerto Rico, with its primary product line being magnetic heads to capture information on magnetic tape and disks. AMC eventually expanded to 21 divisions in 12 countries and employed 14,000 people. AMC was a major employer in Santa Barbara County, California, second only to the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Via acquisitions, AMC branched out into other computer components and equipment, such as magnetic core memory and printed circuit boards. In 1971, the company began marketing disk storage for small computers to provide a low-cost fast-access extension to computer memory.
Following a significant downturn in the computer drive industry in the late 1990s, AMC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy p |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HaikU | haikU is a browser-based, audience participatory, haiku poem project. The project displays randomly generated haiku poems, and allows the Internet audience to contribute to the project's database of haiku lines. The project is known as a work of electronic literature and for its use of an evolving database, and for the relative coherence of its output. It was created by Nanette Wylde in 2001 and is considered a form of interactive digital poetry.
Description
haikU is an early example of internet coding for creative output. It was written using cgi with html and perl in 2001. The project creator states, "This project is an homage to early Internet programmers who created the first web-based, audience-participatory, creative works, often in the form of haiku generators."
Miki Kanai describes haikU in 2002, "A haiku is a Japanese traditional short poetry consisting of three units (5-7-5) totalling seventeen syllables, which include a word connected with a season. By writing individual lines, you can submit your own haiku to this site and also see other people's works. When you enter the site, a haikU is automatically and randomly gererated for you."
Elit scholar, Scott Rettberg writes "Nanette Wylde’s haikU (2001) is a project based on principles of user participation and on the use of a randomizing function to produce haiku that startle in the sense of producing unintended juxtapositions—no single author has determined which lines will appear together. The reading interface is a simple, spare web page. Every time a reader reloads the page, a new haiku is produced. Following a link to “Write haiku” individuals can submit their own haiku in three lines, each of which has its own button to post the line to bins of first, middle, and last lines. The poems delivered on each reload of the site are not the individual haiku as submitted by readers, but recombinations of these first, middle, and last lines of haiku pulled together in a variable way. Reloading the page twenty times or so, it is remarkable how many of the poems read as if they have been individually intended by a human intelligence. Most of the haiku, perhaps 80%, cohere quite well as poetry."
Reception
Scott Rettberg states, "In haikU, the combinatory form and structure of the project, in concert with the form and structure of the poetic form, and the fairly subtle instructions to contributors, lead to the production of a poetic database that works fairly well. While extremely simple in concept and execution, the combination of human-written lines and arbitrary structure results in new poetry neither completely determined by any human nor free of authorial intention."
Star writes, "A haiku is a short poem with five syllables on the first line, seven syllables on the second line, and five syllables on the third and final line. The author is to use those lines to create a singular poetic piece. Wylde allow for chance and her audience to contribute to her poem. Wylde’s use of the regener |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard%20W.%20Weber | Gerhard W. Weber (born August 29, 1961) is an Austrian paleoanthropologist and a founding member of the research network Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences (HEAS) as well as the European Society for the Study of Human Evolution (ESHE). Weber is a professor at the University of Vienna's Department of Evolutionary Anthropology. He is best known for his application of virtual anthropology to early Homo sapiens and Neanderthals in Europe and the Levant. Weber also determined the origin of the Venus of Willendorf.
Biography
Weber was born August 29, 1961, in Mödling, Austria. He took his Matura at the Vienna Business School. After completing his military service, he studied human biology and zoology at the University of Vienna and graduated with a Doctor of Philosophy in human biology. He became a member of the Tyrolean Iceman Research Consortium in 1992.
Weber habilitated in 2001 and became associate professor at the Department of Anthropology in Vienna, where he founded the workgroup Virtual Anthropology. He initiated the first electronic archive for hominin fossils, the Digital archive of Fossil Hominoids, and became its chief editor in 2002. From 2000 to 2005 he was field and co-director of Plio-Pleistocene fieldwork at Galili, Ethiopia.
In 2005 Weber was appointed head of the Vienna micro-CT Lab and acted as deputy head of the Department of Anthropology, University of Vienna until 2012. Between 2006 and 2009 he initiated and coordinated the European Virtual Anthropology Network (EVAN). The network teaches researchers in virtual anthropology.
After a visit to Tel Aviv University in 2012, a collaboration developed with Israel Hershkovitz and his team to work on Late to Middle Pleistocene hominins at the crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe.
In 2019, Weber was appointed full professor for anthropology at the University of Vienna, as well as head of the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology. Weber also became head of the research network Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences (HEAS) in 2021. For his research on the Venus of Willendorf, Weber received the 2022 Science Award from the government of Lower Austria.
Scientific work
Weber has dedicated most of his career to the computer-aided study of morphology and functional anatomy of hominin fossils, recent humans, and their closest relatives. One of his first significant contributions was in auxology, describing the relationship of adult human body height to month of birth for the first time. As part of an international research team, Weber examined three-dimensional digital models of teeth found in the Grotta del Cavallo, which were originally thought to be Neanderthal teeth. However, the analysis by Weber and the research team in 2011 showed that they were deciduous teeth of modern humans. In addition, Weber and a research team examined archaeological finds from Nesher-Ramla in Israel. These were dated to an age of 130,000 years and showed that precursors of Neanderthals exi |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlo%20Tanasyuk | Pavlo Tanasyuk is a British-Ukrainian technology entrepreneur. He is best known as a founder of several space and blockchain industry companies such as a Spacebit, MoneXy, Blockverify.
In 2023, during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he organized a 7,000 kilometer worldwide bike ride to collect charity aid for veterans of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Early life
Tanasyuk grew up in Zhytomyr, Ukraine. He received his first degree in economics from Kyiv University in 1997.
In 2005, he moved to London, where he continued his studies at the London School of Economics (2006-2008), earning an MS in Management and Information Systems.
Career
In 2009, together with Yuriy Chaika, he created the MoneXy payment system, which became the first officially licensed electronic payment system on the Ukrainian market. In 2015, the partners successfully exited the project, as MoneXy was acquired by Fidobank.
In 2014, he created and led BlockVerify, a startup that aimed to combat counterfeiting in supply chains using blockchain technology. BlockVerify's technology worked by tracking goods through supply chains, recording the transfer of ownership, and confirming their location. According to Crunchbase, the startup went through several rounds of funding before closing later. As of 2023, its website is not maintained.
The proceeds from the sale of MoneXy were enough to launch a private space startup called Spacebit. Tanasyuk founded the company on June 16, 2014, with headquarters in London, and offices in Ukraine, Japan, and Luxembourg. Spacebit develops space data analysis tools and robotic space exploration concepts that include AI and advanced micro-robots. The company's technologies are used in the field of space robotics for lunar and planetary missions. According to The Guardian, the British company Spacebit has developed a lunar rover that is being prepared to be sent to the Moon in 2023 to explore its surface. The lunar rover will be delivered in the Peregrine lunar lander, which is being developed by Astrobotic Technology. The American heavy-lift rocket Vulcan Centaur, which has been developed by United Launch Alliance (ULA) since 2014, was chosen as the means of delivering Peregrine to space. The launch of Spacebit's lunar rover Asagumo on the Peregrine lunar lander is supported by NASA under the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program.
In 2023, during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he organized and participated as an main actor a 7,000 kilometer bike ride to collect charity aid for veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war. According to Suspilne Ukraine, Tanasyuk presented his plans at the Heroes Support Heroes charity event in Washington, D.C., which included a Ukrainian delegation that included the Minister of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine and the executive director of the Veterans of Ukraine Foundation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voloridge%20Investment%20Management | Voloridge Investment Management (Voloridge) is an American quantitative investment management firm based in Jupiter, Florida. The firm makes use of big data and machine learning in its trading strategies.
Background
In 2007, David Vogel started his quantitative investment career after he was discovered by Jaffray Woodriff during a Netflix Prize coding competition. Woodriff then hired Vogel as a consultant at his firm, Quantitative Investment Management (QIM). In 2009, Vogel founded Voloridge in Jupiter, Florida. QIM would later acquire a 25% stake in Voloridge.
In September 2017, Bloomberg News reported that Voloridge had a three-year annualized return of 38%. In addition, since its inception, the firm has not posted a yearly loss.
In January 2020, Bloomberg News reported that Voloridge was launching a $1.5 billion climate change fund due to demands of investors seeking out ESG investments. Vogel also had a personal interest in climate change as he and his family were personally affected by Hurricane Irma due to Jupiter being a beach town near the coastline. However, in January 2022, Voloridge closed two sustainable hedge funds and moved the money into the firm's main pool. The changes were made as it was believed to be more profitable to manage green investments in a larger, broader vehicle.
Voloridge relies solely on data to make investment decisions. It does not have a flat management fee and only charges a performance fee as a percentage of its own returns.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laugh%20and%20Pon%21 | Laugh and Pon! (Waratepon) was a Japanese variety show that was broadcast on the TBS network every Wednesday from 19:00 to 19:54 (Japan Standard Time) from July 6, 1983, to September 28, 1983.
Overview
It started after the early end of the previous program "Assault HOT Studio!". Tanokin Trio, Beat Takeshi, and Iyo Matsumoto continued to appear, but the program ended after three months. Former cast member Takeshi has often said that the show was canceled after three episodes, but the actual number of episodes it aired was 12. It was also introduced in the July 2000 issue of "Nikkei Entertainment!" as the "No. 1 famous short-lived program"., data errors can also be seen here.
On April 15, 2000, it was revived for the first time in 17 years with only the title ``New Warate Pon 2000'''' as the opening special program.
Program title
The title of this program was named by the producer Kunihiko Katsura. Due to his terrible naming sense, he was made a lot of fun by Takeshi and Fumio Takada in "Beat Takeshi's All Night Nippon".
In addition, Tamio Kageyama, who was in charge of organizing the program, said in his book ``Gokuraku that he was disappointed in Katsura, who had submitted numerous naming ideas at the program's planning meeting, but in the end had decided on a program title that was just his own idea. TV (Shinchosha, ISBN 4-10-110213-9). Kageyama has warned in the past about the silly naming of variety shows, but he apparently never thought that the show he was in charge of would have such a title, and he wrote an apology to the readers of the book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar%20horizon%20glow | Lunar horizon glow is a phenomenon due to which dust particles on the Moon's thin Atmosphere create a glow during lunar sunset. The Surveyor program provided data and photos of the phenomenon, Astronauts in the Apollo 15, and Apollo 17 missions observed them while in lunar orbit.
Cause
Dust kicked off from the surface of the Moon will stay in the atmosphere for around 3 hours. Apart from this, electrically charged particles could be levitated by electrostatic fields with a strength of >500 V cm−1.
This cloud of dust, near the lunar terminator line, forward scatters the light, creating a glow near the horizon during lunar sunset. The dust, 10 micrometer in diameter, is thought to be above 10km from the lunar surface. The levitation mechanism is thought to eject 10^7 more particles per unit time into the cloud than could micro meteorites. The term "Moon fountain" has been used to describe this effect.
During lunar day, infrared rays and ultraviolet rays from the Sun are strong enough to knock electrons off the dust present on lunar surface. These positively charged particles get repelled from the surface kilometers high. On the night side, the dust is negatively charged by electrons from the solar wind. Particles at the night side achieve greater electrical tension differences than the day side, launching dust particles to even higher altitudes. This dust eventually falls back to the surface, and the cycle repeats.
In celestial bodies without any significant atmosphere, llectrostatic transport is believed to be the leading cause of dust transport. Laboratory experiments show that dusty surfaces tend to become smooth as a result of dust mobilization. This phenomena is thought to explain the process of dust ponds in the asteroids 433 Eros and comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko.
Strange glowing lights on the Moon are recorded from Earth for centuries. This phenomenon, known as "transient lunar phenomena", isnow generally accepted to be visible evidence of meteoroids impacting the lunar surface. But others with a amorphous reddish or whitish glows or even as dusky hazy regions that change shape or disappear over seconds or minutes, are thought to be because of sunlight reflecting from suspended lunar dust.
In 1956, this effect was anticipated by science fiction author Hal Clement in his short story "Dust Rag", published in Astounding Science Fiction.
Exploration
Coronal photographs of the Moon from Apollo 15 and 17 showed excessive brightness. The glow was also observed by Astronauts in lunar orbit during sunrise for about 10 seconds. Such rays were also reported by astronauts aboard Apollo 8, and 10. These might have been similar to crepuscular rays on Earth. The glow is also believed to appear in the star tracker data from the Clementine mission although it will be masked by Coronal and Zodiacal light. The Apollo missions placed laser retroreflectors on the lunar surface. The dust is believed to be the cause of the degradation of the inst |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Committee%20of%20the%20Red%20Cross%20rules%20of%20engagement%20for%20civilian%20hackers | On 4 October 2023 the International Committee of the Red Cross published rules of engagement for civilian hackers involved in conflicts. The rules had been described as a "Geneva Code of cyber-war".
Background
Since 2013 there has been a rise in hacking associated with conflicts, such as the Syrian civil war, which led to attacks on Western media. This has significantly accelerated after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Rules
The rules are:
Do not attack civilian targets.
Do not use malware or other tools or techniques that spread automatically and attack military and civilian targets indiscriminately.
When planning a cyber-attack against a military target, do everything possible to avoid or minimise any impact on civilians.
Do not conduct any cyber-attack against medical and humanitarian facilities.
Do not conduct any cyber-attack against anything essential to the survival of the population or that can release dangerous forces.
Do not threaten violence to spread terror among civilians.
Do not incite violations of international humanitarian law.
Comply with these rules even if the enemy doesn't.
The ICRC has also asked governments to restrain hackers and enforce existing laws against cybercrime.
Responses
The IT Army of Ukraine has said they will "make best efforts to follow the rules" even if it puts them at a disadvantage with their enemies. They also said that attacks on healthcare facilities had already been ruled out by them.
Killnet initially refused to follow the rules, but a couple of days later agreed to abide by them.
A high-ranking member of Anonymous said they had "always operated based on several principles, including rules cited by the ICRC" but had become disillusioned with the organisation and would not follow the rules.
A representative of Anonymous Sudan said the rules were "not viable and that breaking them for the group's cause is unavoidable".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques%20Malavieille | Jacques Malavieille (born October 12, 1953, in Mende, Lozère) is a French geologist. He is known for research combining geological fieldwork with analog modeling, and with some computer modeling, for scientific understanding of lithospheric deformation.
Biography
Jacques Malavieille grew up in that part of the valley of the river Lot located in the department of Lozère. As a small boy, he enjoyed searching for rocks and fossils in the mountainous region of the Massif Central. At Montpellier 2 University (Université de Montpellier II), he graduated in 1982 with a PhD in tectonics and in 1987 with a Habilitation à diriger des recherches. His PhD thesis Étude tectonique et microtectonique de la déformation ductile dans de grands chevauchements crustaux : exemples des Alpes Franco-Italiennes et de la Corse was supervised by Maurice Mattauer (1928–2009). Malavieille's habilitation thesis, supervised by Mattauer, is entitled Les mécanismes d’amincissement d’une croûte épaissie, les "Metamorphic Core Complexes du Basin and Range" (USA). Malavieille was employed by the CNRS from 1982 to 1994 as a Chargé de recherches (CR, Scientist) and from 1994 to 2002 as Directeur de recherches (DR, Senior Scientist). He was from 1999 to 2003 Directeur du Laboratoire Géophysique, Tectonique et Sédimentologie (UMR 5573 of the CNRS) and from 2003 to 2012 Directeur de recherches 1ère classe. From 2012 to the present, Malvieille has held the appointment Directeur de recherches Classe Exceptionnelle (DRCE) at Géosciences Montpellier of Montpellier 2 University.
Malavieille is the author or co-author of over 100 peer-reviewed, scientific articles.
Several of his articles have over 600 citations. He specializes in research on deformation of lithosphere underlying orogenic domains of Earth's continents. He and his co-workers have done extensive field in the French Alps, eastern Asia, and the Tibetan Plateau. He has also done fieldwork in Taiwan, which is located on a convergent boundary between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, and in the Rocky Mountains of the US and Canada.
As a graduate student, Malavieille studied structural geology and how crustal deformation is related to lithospheric deformation. In the early 1980s, his research in Corsica and the western Alps linked lineations and mountain formation, promoted recognition of similar structures elsewhere, and showed how small-scale structures influence the large-scale kinematics of mountain ranges. In the 1980s, his research on strain fringes and asymmetric boundins provided new insights on the kinematics of geological structures. Some of his early fieldwork in the French Variscan orogenic belt and North America's Basin and Range Province contributed significantly to knowledge about metamorphic core complexes. Malavieille gained an international reputation for pioneering applications of analog modeling to scientific understanding of how fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges develop. In Montpe |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Eno%20Crime%20Club | The Eno Crime Club is an American radio mystery drama that was broadcast from February 9, 1931, until June 30, 1936, first on CBS and later on the Blue Network. The sponsor was Eno "Effervescent" Salts. It was also broadcast in Canada on CFRB. In 1933, the title was changed to Eno Crime Clues. The program was revived as Crime Club with no sponsor on Mutual on December 2, 1946, until it ended on October 2, 1947.
Background
The Eno Crime Club was one of the first mystery programs. In the show's early years it, The Shadow, and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes gained in popularity among radio programs, displacing dance orchestras, which had been high in ratings.
Format
Radio historian John Dunning described the show as "a detective series, early and primitive." He added, "Its novel adaptations unfolded in the classic tradition, with locked-room mysteries and many clues throughout."
Spencer Dean, known as the Manhunter, solved heinous crimes, with the program using the expression "another Manhunter mystery". Dean's partner was Danny Cassidy, and Dean's love interest was Jane Elliott. As each episode opened, the announcer issued an invitation to listeners: "Match wits with the Manhunter; see how great a sleuth you really are. Listen carefully; you can solve the puzzle from the clues given in tonight's episode."
Cast
Edward Reese and Clyde North portrayed Spencer Dean. Dean's partner, Danny Cassidy, was initially played by Walter Glass, who was succeeded by Jack MacBryde. Helen Choate portrayed Jane Elliott. The supporting cast included Georgia Backus, Ray Collins, Adele Ronson., Arline Blackburn, Linda Carlon-Reid, Brian Donlevy, Helene Dumas, Gloria Holden, Elaine Melchior, Ralph Sumpter, and Ruth Yorke.

Producers of The Eno Crime Club included Doug Coulter and William Bacher. Directors included Carlo De Angelo and Jay Hanna. Writers included Stewart Sterling and Albert G. Miller. Preparation for each 30-minute episode included three hours of rehearsal. It began with the director leading the cast in reading through the script, followed by "a run-through at the microphone". Addition of sound effects and some revisions of the script preceded the dress rehearsal, which occurred shortly before the episode was broadcast.
Joseph Dis Stephany and Eugene Eubanks headed another version of the program for CBS's Pacific Coast network in 1932. It originated from KFRC in San Francisco on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 9 p.m. Pacific Time.
The Eno Crime Club sounded a slowly struck gong three times between scenes, which was "a notable exception" to a pattern found in other radio mystery dramas of its era. They typically used a "musical interlude between scenes, passing in its musical atmosphere from the tempo of one scene to that of the next."
When the program was on NBC it originated from WJZ in New York City.
In 1934, William G. Smith obtained film rights to The Eno Crime Club material with plans to produce a film in Hollywood in |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBEAM%20Broadcasting%20Corporation | iBEAM Broadcasting Corporation was a Media Streaming Company. Established in 1998, iBEAM was instrumental in the invention of the Content Delivery Network for Streaming Media. The company played a pivotal role in aiding giants like Real Networks and Microsoft in scaling their services. iBEAM was responsible for introducing groundbreaking technologies such as global load balancing, edge networking, distributed streaming, and digital data satellite delivery. In December, 2001, iBEAM's was acquired by Williams Communications Group Inc., integrating iBEAM's streaming and Webcasting business into its broadband media operations.
History
iBEAM was at the forefront of streaming media during its early days, launching major streaming properties between 1998 and 2001. This includes prominent names like MTVi, CNN, and Bloomberg. The company's innovative approach to streaming was evident when it was named the official streaming provider for SUPERBOWL.COM, the NFL's official website for Super Bowl XXXV in 2001.
iBEAM pioneered high fidelity video streaming via satellite, ad-enabled content, to Internet viewers. Major media and entertainment including BBC, Bloomberg, MSNBC, FOX, NFL, Golf Channel, the Academy Awards, and a significant portion of Internet radio were webcast via iBEAM. The company's network architecture bypassed Internet congestion, bringing broadcast quality streaming video to entertainment audiences at a lower cost than other CDN cached distribution methods. iBEAM was the first company to invent and deploy a network dedicated to streaming media and the "edge network" concept. At its peak, iBEAM traded at $2 billion, raised over $330 million through private funding and its IPO, delivered 80% of all audio streaming on the Internet, and owned all top media accounts in the US. Among its achievements, iBEAM was the first to insert ads into streaming media, first with FCC rights, first to deliver IP/TV streaming service via satellite, developed Real's G2 reflector technology, helped design the first layer 7 switch with Foundry Networks, and was the first to simulcast a TV show. However, iBEAM's business relationships and large media customer partners did not survive the bubble bursting in 2001. Prior to its dissolution, iBEAM was purchased by Williams Communications.
Technological Advancements
iBEAM's technological prowess was evident in its ability to deliver high-quality video and audio over the Internet. The company's network utilized satellite and fiber-optic technologies to deliver content to MaxCaster media serving systems. These systems were strategically located in Access Providers' networks near the end-user, on the edge of the Internet. This unique approach allowed streams to bypass the usual congestion, ensuring uninterrupted and high-quality live Webcasts.
iBEAM announced the launch of its 'Radio Solution', combining its PureStream Encoder solution and its On-target ad insertion service. This solution aimed to help terrestrial radio s |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeadmete%20pergradata | Zeadmete pergradata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.
Description
The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its diameter 5 mm.
(Original description) The small, solid, brown shell is fusiform. The 1½ protoconch is prominent with the apex imbedded. It is smooth and has a light horn colour. The spire contains 3½ whorls, sharply angled. Behind the angle tabulate there is one tuberculate spiral lira. At the angle there is a stout spiral cord, coronate with about 25 sharp tubercles. The penultimate whorl contains four very valid spiral ribs, not quite equal in width to the interspaces (which are as deep as wide), validly tuberculate, by narrow axial striae, running from suture to suture, very obliquely from posterior suture to angle.
The body whorl is obliquely roundly pyramidal, with ten spiral cords rounded, about half as wide as the interspaces, crossed by 26 axial lamellae, which form rounded tubercles at the junction, and coronate the stouter cord at the angle. Finer microscopic axial striae cross the interspaces between the lamellae.
The aperture is obliquely oblong, narrowed and deviated to the left anteriorly, where it ends in a moderate-sized notch. Posteriorly square, the external lip is simple, thin, corrugated by the spiral ribs and uniformly slightly curved. The columella is nearly straight, with two oblique anterior plates. The inner lip is as a thin glaze, not obliterating the spiral ribs on the base of the whorl.
The colour of the shell is uniform dark chestnut-brown.
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off South Australia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirae%20%28Wi-Fi%29 | Mirae (Korean: 미래; Lit: Future) is a North Korean WiFi service that enables mobile devices to access a state-sanctioned intranet network via a separate sim card named Mirae. Only websites approved by the North Korean authorities can be accessed. The technology reportedly allows users to browse and download domestic and foreign science and commercial information, as well as movies and music, “at any time or place.”
Rodong Sinmun content can be accessed over the Mirae WiFi network in North Korea. North Korean students can take classes at and download lectures from Kim Il Sung University via the Mirae WiFi network, beginning in 2018. Online-shopping outlet Manmulsang, video-on-demand service Manbang, Mokran video, the Sci-Tech Complex website, Yeolpung, Gongse, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), a Netflix-style service called My Companion, and weather information can be accessed through the app.
The use of SIM technology ensures that authorities always maintain tight control on the network. This technology also makes it more easier to track individual's online activity. Other than Mirae, there are two cellular networks in the country that also provide wireless data service.
History
In August 2018, Choson Sinbo reported that the Chunggu Haeyang (Marine) Unha Technology Exchange Company which is under DPRK's Central Information Agency for Science and Technology had developed a local public free wireless data network named as ‘Mirae' network. A Technician at the company told the newspaper that the company had developed the network back in 2016, and that it had been launched the WiFi network in September last year.
North Korea announced in 2018 that people could use a smartphone app to access the national network through the “Mirae public wireless data communications network.” Network was first installed on Pyongyang’s Mirae Scientists Street.
The first broadcast in which it was seen was on October 21, 2018 and focused on a new tablet PC called the Taeyang 8321 (대양8321). This was the first time that an outdoor Wi-Fi service had been mentioned in North Korean media. The second broadcast in which it was seen was on November 8, 2018 was a report on the "Exhibition of IT Successes". It displayed Mirae network being accessed by an Arirang 171 smartphone.
The network claimed to have data speed of up to 70 Mbps. However, an app for the service claims speeds between 2Mbps and 33Mbps. The TV report also showcased how service was made available through outdoor Wi-Fi base stations.
On October 26, 2020 the Facebook page of the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang shared a scan of an article from the locally-distributed Pyongyang Sinmun. It showed the capabilities of “Naenara 101” (“My Country 101”). It had slots for two SIM cards, so it can be used to connect simultaneously to the mobile network and the public wireless network Mirae.
Portable Wi-Fi devices for mobile use and Wi-Fi modems for home are provided by North Korea. Due to this support, every one out of f |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HireVue | HireVue is an artificial intelligence (AI) and human resources management company headquartered in South Jordan, Utah. Founded in 2004, the company allows its clients to conduct remote video interviews during the hiring process.
The company has received considerable media coverage related to its use of AI to analyze interviewees' facial and verbal data during the interview process.
History
Founding and early history
The company was founded by Mark Newman in 2004, then a 20-year-old undergraduate at Westminster College. Newman also served as the company's chief executive officer (CEO). The company is headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, near Salt Lake City. An artificial intelligence company, HireVue has been described as a human resources technology or "human capital management" (HCM) company, and has been noted as a "pioneer in the field." To help facilitate long-distance job interviews, the company originally sent candidates webcams. The company offers its clients the ability to conduct one-way job interviews during a hiring process. Job applicants are prompted the same questions through HireVue.
By 2012, HireVue's clients included Nike, Starbucks, Walmart, Geico, and Hasbro, among others. These clients were signed to annual subscription plans with HireVue. In 2012, Forbes staff writer Susan Adams noted that "the typical HireVue interview lasts 12 minutes and has just four questions, with about three minutes to answer each question." Interviewees are also allowed to see each question prior to responding; a practice question as well as interview tips are also provided. For HireVue's clients, the interview setup allowed for recruiters to spend less time on scheduling candidates and more time on evaluating them.
That August, the company acquired CodeEval for an undisclosed sum, allowing HireVue to add programming challenges when hiring developers. By this time, HireVue's CEO was David Bradford. Later that same month, the company announced it raised a $17 million Series C round led by Investor Growth Capital; along with an expansion of its debt facility, HireVue raised a total of $28 million when including what it raised during its B and C rounds.
Use of artificial intelligence and company growth
In 2013, the company began using artificial intelligence to screen interviewees. Both proprietary voice recognition software and licensed facial recognition software are used by HireVue's Insights program. The company's HireVue Insights program scans applicants' verbal and facial gestures and cues, matching them with skills employers seek in given roles. Aside from facial gestures, HireVue also assesses an interviewees' tone, vocabulary, and "candidate empathy". All of these analyzed data points are then used to generate an "employability" score for a candidate, which is ranked versus other applicants. HireVue's AI is able to refine its accuracy over time given new data due to machine learning.
By 2013, the company had 140 employees. Noted by Tec |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumar%20Gaurav%20%28entrepreneur%29 | ''
Kumar Gaurav (born 16 March 1990) is an Indian computer programmer and entrepreneur. He is best known as the developer of the peer-to-peer money transfer platform that later evolved into "neobank" Cashaa.
Early life
Kumar was born on March 16, 1990, in the Nalanda district of Bihar, India.
In 2012, he graduated from Amity University with a degree in computer science, and In 2015, he received a Master's degree in engineering from Polytechnic University of Milan.
Career
In 2014, he founded an Indian IT company that became the Auxesis Group.
In 2017, Kumar published a white paper to create a banking and payment platform Cashaa for the crypto industry. After that he raised $33 million in November 2017.
In April 2018, the Reserve Bank of India, through a circular, banned banks from providing cryptocurrency exchange services. As a result of this ban, several cryptocurrency companies were forced to shut down their operations. Kumar announced a non-profit initiative to educate Indian citizens about the emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors, which then received support from the government. In 2020, the Supreme Court of India lifted the ban and invited central companies to partner with cryptocurrency companies. In 2020, Kumar opened a cryptocurrency neobank in India, however due to regulatory issues and following Coinbase's exit from India, it stopped providing banking services in India in April 2022.
On July 11, 2020, CertiK Skynet, a blockchain security technology company founded by computer science professors from Yale and Columbia Universities and created to validate the security and correctness of smart contracts and blockchain protocols, detected anomalous transactions associated with Cashaa bitcoin wallets on blocks 638606 and 638692. CertiK security researchers launched an investigation to look into the attack. Researchers reported that there may have been two internal operational errors or the victim's computer may have been compromised by a malicious backdoor program.
In September 2020, Kumar raised $5 million from Dubai-based investment fund to expand into the Indian market and fund the user's losses from the July 2020 hack.
In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kumar took patronage of 5,000 families to send them food and essentials through his company Cashaa's infrastructure in India. He also reached out to other cryptocurrency companies with the hashtag #CryptoAgainstCovid to support underprivileged families.
In 2022, according to Bloomberg, he denied a loan to Luna Foundation.
