Economy_of_the_Soviet_Union
|
The economy of the Soviet Union was based on a system of state ownership of the means of production , collective farming , industrial manufacturing and centralized administrative planning . The economy was characterised by state control of investment , public ownership of industrial assets , macroeconomic stability , negligible unemployment and high job security . Beginning in 1928 , the entire course of the economy was guided by a series of Five-Year Plans . By the 1950s , the Soviet Union had , during the preceding few decades , evolved from a mainly agrarian society into a major industrial power . Its transformative capacity -- what the US National Security Council described as a `` proven ability to carry backward countries speedily through the crisis of modernization and industrialization '' -- meant communism consistently appealed to the intellectuals of developing countries in Asia . Impressive growth rates during the first three Five-Year Plans -LRB- 1928 -- 40 -RRB- are particularly notable given that this period is nearly congruent with the Great Depression . During this period the Soviet Union encountered a rapid industrial growth while other regions were suffering from crisis . Nevertheless , the impoverished base upon which the Five-Year Plans sought to build meant that , at the commencement of Operation Barbarossa , the country was still poor . While legitimate strictly in terms of growth and industrialisation , the death toll attributable to Stalinist economic development has been estimated at 10 million , much of which comprises famine victims . The major strength of the Soviet economy was its enormous supply of oil and gas , which became much more valuable as exports after the world price of oil skyrocketed in the 1970s . As Daniel Yergin notes , the Soviet economy in its final decades was `` heavily dependent on vast natural resources -- oil and gas in particular . '' However , Yergin goes on , world oil prices collapsed in 1986 , putting very heavy pressure on the economy . After Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in 1985 , he began a process of economic liberalisation towards a mixed economy . At its dissolution at the end of 1991 , the Soviet Union begat a Russian Federation with a growing pile of $ 66 billion in external debt , and with barely a few billion dollars in net gold and foreign exchange reserves . The complex demands of the modern economy and inflexible administration overwhelmed and constrained the central planners . Corruption and data fiddling became common practice among the bureaucracy by reporting fulfilled targets and quotas , thus entrenching the crisis . From the Stalin-era to the early Brezhnev-era , the Soviet economy grew much slower than Japan and slightly faster than the United States . GDP levels in 1950 -LRB- in billion 1990 dollars -RRB- were 510 -LRB- 100 % -RRB- in the USSR , 161 -LRB- 100 % -RRB- in Japan and 1456 -LRB- 100 % -RRB- in the US . By 1965 the corresponding values were 1011 -LRB- 198 % -RRB- , 587 -LRB- 365 % -RRB- , and 2607 -LRB- 179 % -RRB- . The Soviet Union maintained itself as the second largest economy in both nominal and purchasing power parity values for much of the Cold War until 1988 , when Japan 's economy exceeded $ 3 trillion in nominal value . The USSR 's relatively small consumer sector accounted for just under 60 % of the country 's GDP in 1990 , while the industrial and agricultural sectors contributed 22 % and 20 % respectively in 1991 . Agriculture was the predominant occupation in the USSR before the massive industrialization under Joseph Stalin . The service sector was of low importance in the USSR , with the majority of the labor force employed in the industrial sector . The labor force totaled 152.3 million people . Major industrial products included petroleum , steel , motor vehicles , aerospace , telecommunications , chemicals , electronics , food processing , lumber , mining , and defense industry . Though the GDP of the USSR crossed $ 1 trillion in the 1970s and $ 2 trillion in the 1980s , the effects of central planning were progressively distorted due to the rapid growth of the second economy in the Soviet Union .

Barlaam_and_Josaphat
|
Barlaam and Josaphat -LRB- Barlamus et Iosaphatus -RRB- are two legendary Christian martyrs and saints , based ultimately on the life of the Gautama Buddha . It tells how an Indian king persecuted the Christian Church in his realm . When astrologers predicted that his own son would some day become a Christian , the king imprisoned the young prince Josaphat , who nevertheless met the hermit Saint Barlaam and converted to Christianity . After much tribulation the young prince 's father accepted the true faith , turned over his throne to Josaphat , and retired to the desert to become a hermit . Josaphat himself later abdicated and went into seclusion with his old teacher Barlaam . The tale derives from a second to fourth century Sanskrit Mahayana Buddhist text , via a Manichaean version , then the Arabic Kitab Bilawhar wa-Yudasaf -LRB- Book of Bilawhar and Yudasaf -RRB- , current in Baghdad in the eighth century , from where it entered into Middle Eastern Christian circles before appearing in European versions . The two were entered in the Eastern Orthodox calendar with a feast-day on 26 August , and in the Roman Martyrology in the Western Church as `` Barlaam and Josaphat '' on the date of 27 November .

NGC_4698
|
NGC 4698 is a barred spiral galaxy located around 55 million light years away from Earth in the constellation of Virgo . It belongs to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies and is positioned near the northeastern edge of this assemblage . The morphological classification of NGC 4698 in the De Vaucouleurs system is SA -LRB- s -RRB- ab , which indicates a purely spiral structure with moderate to tightly wound arms . It is inclined to the line of sight from the Earth by an angle of 53 ° along a position angle of 170 ° . A unique feature of this galaxy is that the stars and dust of the nuclear disk are rotating in a direction that is aligned perpendicularly to the galactic disk . The bulge likewise appears elongated out of the galactic plane . This unusual alignment may have been the result of a past merger event . NGC 4698 is classified as a Seyfert-2 galaxy with an active galactic nucleus , which displays a prominent emission of radio and X-ray energy from the core while showing narrow emission lines in the optical spectrum . The unified model of Seyfert galaxies proposes that the nucleus of a Seyfert 2 galaxy is obscured by a thick torus of gas and dust . However , the varying X-ray emission of the core of NGC 4698 shows little indication of being obstructed , suggesting instead that the source of the energy emission is generally unobscured but anemic in nature .

Nanophyetus_salmincola
|
Nanophyetus salmincola is a food-borne intestinal trematode parasite prevalent on the Pacific Northwest coast . The species may be the most common trematode endemic to the United States . The life cycle of the N. salmincola requires three hosts . The first intermediate host is an Juga plicifera stream snail . The second intermediate host is a salmonid fish , though some non-salmonid fishes also play a role . Lastly , the definitive host is most commonly a canid , though many other mammals are also definitive hosts , including humans . Transmission of N. salmincola to the definitive host occurs upon ingestion of parasite-infected fish . The parasite is most known for its association with `` salmon poisoning disease '' , which , left untreated , proves to be fatal to dogs and other canids . However , canids are affected by the Neorickettsia helminthoeca bacteria , for which N. salmincola acts as a vector , and not by the parasite itself . Very few known cases of naturally acquired human infection with N. salmincola are found in the literature , though it is likely that many cases are unreported , since most people are asymptomatic , or symptomatic with non-specific symptoms like gastrointestinal discomfort . Disease caused by N. salmincola , or nanophyetiasis , is easily preventable by thoroughly cooking fish before consumption . There are no known cases of human infection by the Rickettsia bacteria carried by N. salmincola . A subspecific parasite , Nanophyetus schikhobalowi , is endemic to Siberia , where human cases of nanophyetiasis have been reported in scientific literature since 1931 .

Shadow_stack
|
In software , a shadow stack is a mechanism for maintaining control-flow integrity by mitigating return address overwrites such as those seen during exploitation of a stack buffer overflow . The technique is to first keep a record of the legitimate return address for some function call , and then to check that the return address is still correct before returning . This can be accomplished by adding additional instructions to function calls and function epilogues : on calls , store the legitimate return address -LRB- that is , the address of the instruction after the call -RRB- , and on returns , check before actually returning . A stack buffer overflow would be adequate to overwrite the return address on the stack , but not the shadow stack 's record of the return address . If the return address and the shadow return address differ , the check inserted before the return instruction will fail ; the usual action in such cases is to crash the program , and in some cases alert administrators to the possibility of an intrusion attempt . The technique can be implemented with hardware assistance , by a compiler , or at runtime .

Tarek_Ben_Halim
|
Tarek Ben Halim was a successful investment banker who left banking in 2000 to pursue charitable work and promote justice and democracy in the Arab World . In 2004 , he founded Alfanar the first Arab venture philanthropy organisation to introduce a more effective and sustainable approach to development in the Arab region . Tarek was born in Tripoli , Libya on 4 December 1955 to a Palestinian mother , Yusra Kanaan , and Libyan father , Mustafa Ben Halim . His father served as Prime Minister of Libya from 1954 to 1957 and Libyan Ambassador to France from 1958 to 1960 . After the coup that brought Muammar Gaddafi to power in 1969 , Tarek and his family were exiled , and moved to Beirut before settling in London . Tarek was educated at Atlantic College in Wales and went on to study Finance at Warwick University before receiving an MBA from Harvard Business School . His education led to a successful and dynamic career in investment banking which included positions at JP Morgan , Credit Suisse First Boston and Goldman Sachs , where he became a Managing Director . In 2000 Tarek was responsible for the $ 2 billion flotation of Turkcell , which at the time was the largest ever emerging market IPO . Exile from Libya taught Tarek early on about the perils of politics in the Arab world . Combined with the stories of his mother 's flight from Palestine , it had a strong influence on his belief in justice and democracy as necessary tools for improving lives and communities in the region . In a commentary piece published in The Los Angeles Times on 9 February 2003 , Tarek criticised `` self-serving , unrepresentative governments that have , with few exceptions , ruled the Arab world since the 19th century '' . Tarek hoped that changing the Iraqi regime in 2003 would cause similar changes in leadership across the region . He volunteered to work with the British forces and was appointed Deputy Director of private sector development with the Coalition Provisional Authority -LRB- CPA -RRB- . However , he soon became frustrated with the CPA 's approach . `` He -LSB- Tarek -RSB- felt that the occupying force seemed more focused on quick gain rather than building a sustainable framework that would survive its departure . '' He resigned after only a few months . Tarek 's time in Iraq strengthened his determination to put into practice what Arab governments had long failed to do -- improve livelihoods by responding to community needs . In 2004 , he started Alfanar -LRB- which means lighthouse in Arabic -RRB- to promote a strong , vibrant , professional civil society in the Arab world . Alfanar aims to improve lives in disadvantaged communities throughout the region by fostering the growth of innovative , self-reliant organizations that effectively respond to pressing , long-term community needs . Tarek Ben Halim died on 11 December 2009 aged 54 after being diagnosed with brain cancer 14 months earlier . He was married to Cynthia Oakes , a Princeton graduate and daughter of iconic US journalist John Bertram Oakes . She and their three children , Omar , Kais and Leila , survive him . His obituary in The Guardian describes him as `` a man of high principle and humour '' .
