# The Predators' Ball

The Predators' Ball: The Inside Story of Drexel Burnham and the Rise of the Junk Bond Raiders, by Wall Street Journal writer Connie Bruck, largely recounts the rise of Michael Milken, his firm Drexel Burnham Lambert, and the leveraged buyout boom they helped to fuel in the 1980s.

## Overview

As the book was published at the apex of the leveraged buyout boom, it was subsequently updated to also address the impending collapse of Drexel Burnham and Michael Milken's conviction on various securities and reporting violations.
The title of the book is a reference to an event that Drexel Burnham hosted annually. Among the participants in the Predator's Ball were an array of private equity investors, corporate raiders such as Ron Perelman and Carl Icahn as well as institutional investors in high-yield bonds and management teams from companies that either had been or would be the targets of leveraged buyouts.
Michael Milken reportedly offered to pay the author for all of the copies of the book that would have been sold in exchange for stopping her work on Predators' Ball.

# Little Hungarian Plain

The Little Hungarian Plain or Little Alföld (Hungarian: Kisalföld, Slovak: Malá dunajská kotlina, German: Kleine Ungarische Tiefebene) is a plain (tectonic basin) of approximately 8,000 km² in northwestern Hungary, south-western Slovakia (Podunajská nížina – Danubian Lowland), and eastern Austria. It is a part of the Pannonian plain which covers most parts of Hungary.

## Geography

Its borders are the Carpathians on the north, the Bakony-Vértes Hills in the south, the Gerecse Hills in the east, and the Leitha Mountains and the foothills of the Alps in the west. In Hungary, it includes most of Győr-Moson-Sopron and Vas counties, and the western part of Komárom-Esztergom and Veszprém.
The plain is roughly cut in half by the Danube which is split up into many arms between Bratislava and Komárno, forming large islands. Its main tributaries are the Váh, the Rába, the Rábca and the Marcal rivers.
Smaller microregions of the Little Alföld are Hanság, Seewinkel, Neusiedl Basin, Rábaköz, Szigetköz, Marcal Basin, Moson Plain, Komárom-Esztergom Plain and Žitný ostrov.
The neighbouring regions of Kemeneshát, Sopron-Vas Plain and Steirisches Hügelland are sometimes classified as belonging to the Little Alföld, but Hungarian and Austrian geographers use the term in a more narrow meaning.

## History

The plain has been an important area of agriculture since the Neolithic Age. The southern part of it belonged to the Roman province of Pannonia between the 1st and 5th centuries and later was inhabited by Germanic and Slavic peoples and since about 900 also by Hungarians. Since about 1000, the region became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After World War I the Little Alföld was divided between Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Austria. In the 1990s Slovakia built a large dam and power plant at Gabčíkovo.

## Population

Country borders don't closely follow linguistic boundaries, especially in the case of the northern part of the plain where Hungarians are a majority in the two southernmost districts Dunajská Streda and Komárno and a minority in the remaining districts. There are also smaller groups of Croats in the tri-state border region. Important cities in the region are Győr (HU), Komárom (HU), Komárno (SK), Dunajská Streda (SK), Nové Zámky (SK), and Mosonmagyaróvár (HU).
# Noguera Pallaresa

The Noguera Pallaresa (Catalan pronunciation:; Occitan: Noguèra Palharesa, IPA:) is a river in Catalonia, Spain.
It is named after the Pallars region.

## Course

Its source is at Era Font d'era Noguereta in the municipality of Naut Aran (Aran Valley) at an elevation of about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) and barely 100 metres (330 ft) from those of the Garonne. While the Garonne flows toward the Atlantic Ocean, the Noguera Pallaresa flows to the Segre, and enters that river from the right just before the reservoir of Camarasa (Noguera): its waters then flow to the Mediterranean. The Noguera Pallaresa is dammed at several points, including Talarn Dam, and the largest reservoirs are La Torassa (between Esterri d'Àneu and La Guingueta d'Àneu in the Pallars Sobirà), Sant Antoni (above Talarn in the Pallars Jussà), Terradets (in the municipality of Àger in the Noguera) and Camarasa (just above the confluence with the Segre).

## Wildwater sports

Between the dam in the reservoir Panta de la Torrassa and the lake Panta de Sant Antoni the river is a favourite course for wildwater canoeing and rafting. During spring and summer the river falls dry at night, but in the morning the weir is opened and in several hours makes it a rather voluminous river with wild water class 2, 3 and 4 rapids. In the evening the weir is closed again.
# Express Data Path

XDP (eXpress Data Path) is an eBPF-based high-performance network data path used to send and receive network packets at high rates by bypassing most of the operating system networking stack. It is merged in the Linux kernel since version 4.8. This implementation is licensed under GPL. Large technology firms including Amazon, Google and Intel support its development. Microsoft released their free and open source implementation XDP for Windows in May 2022. It is licensed under MIT License.

## Data path

The idea behind XDP is to add an early hook in the RX path of the kernel, and let a user supplied eBPF program decide the fate of the packet. The hook is placed in the network interface controller (NIC) driver just after the interrupt processing, and before any memory allocation needed by the network stack itself, because memory allocation can be an expensive operation. Due to this design, XDP can drop 26 million packets per second per core with commodity hardware.
The eBPF program must pass a preverifier test before being loaded, to avoid executing malicious code in kernel space. The preverifier checks that the program contains no out-of-bounds accesses, loops or global variables.
The program is allowed to edit the packet data and, after the eBPF program returns, an action code determines what to do with the packet:
* XDP_PASS: let the packet continue through the network stack
* XDP_DROP: silently drop the packet
* XDP_ABORTED: drop the packet with trace point exception
* XDP_TX: bounce the packet back to the same NIC it arrived on
* XDP_REDIRECT: redirect the packet to another NIC or user space socket via the AF_XDP address family
XDP requires support in the NIC driver but, as not all drivers support it, it can fallback to a generic implementation, which performs the eBPF processing in the network stack, though with slower performance.
XDP has infrastructure to offload the eBPF program to a network interface controller which supports it, reducing the CPU load. In 2023, only Netronome cards support it.
Microsoft is partnering with other companies and adding support for XDP in its MsQuic implementation of the QUIC protocol.

## AF_XDP

Along with XDP, a new address family entered in the Linux kernel starting 4.18. AF_XDP, formerly known as AF_PACKETv4 (which was never included in the mainline kernel), is a raw socket optimized for high performance packet processing and allows zero-copy between kernel and applications. As the socket can be used for both receiving and transmitting, it supports high performance network applications purely in user space.

# Minority United Front

The Minority United Front was an electoral alliance formed ahead of the 1954 East Bengal Legislative Assembly election. It consisted of the Pakistan Gana Samiti, the Pakistan Socialist Party and the Abhay Ashram. The Minority United Front contested 19 seats, in both the Caste Hindu and Scheduled Caste constituencies.
There had been talks on electoral arrangement between the Minority United Front and PNC, but that did not materialize in any pre-poll pact and the two groups were the main competitors for the Caste Hindu seats. There were also attempts to form an alliance between the Minority United Front and the Rasaraj Mandal-led faction of the East Bengal Scheduled Castes Federation, but in the end the Mandal-led group contested on their own.
The Minority United Front won 10 seats in the Assembly. Out of the three Pakistan Socialist Party candidates that had been fielded by the Minority Unity Front as candidates, all were elected - Trailokyanath Chakravarty, Pulin De and Deben Ghosh.
# Laguiole

Laguiole (; La Guiòla in Languedocien) is a commune in the southern French department of Aveyron.
It is known for its Laguiole cheese, which has an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (label of guaranteed origin), and as the birthplace of the Laguiole knife. The name of the village comes from la gleisòla, meaning a little church.
# Fairy Stone State Park

Fairy Stone State Park, located in Patrick County, Virginia, is the largest of the original six state parks that opened on June 15, 1936, and is home to the mysterious "fairy stones", or staurolite. The stone, prevalent in the region, may have the St. Andrew's or Roman shape.
The park's land was donated in 1933 by Junius B. Fishburn, former president of the Southwest Virginia Trust Co. and former owner of the Roanoke Times. The park is 4,741 acres (19.19 km$^2$), making it the largest of the six original parks and one of the largest to this day. Some of the park's features, including its lake and many structures still in use, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
# Óscar Meléndez

Óscar Meléndez Sauri (born 21 March 1966, San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican lawyer and singer and former member of boy band Menudo.
Óscar is one of the five original members of Menudo, and the first cousin of group creator Edgardo Diaz. His older brother, Carlos Meléndez and younger brother, Ricky Meléndez, were also part of the original group. He was recruited by Edgardo when the group was founded in 1977, and left in 1981 at the age of 15, barely missing out on what would become the group's golden era.
Unlike his brothers, when his career with Menudo ended, he decided not to pursue any other endeavors in the music industry and went back to living a private life. Melendez is, like brother Ricky, a lawyer who works in Puerto Rico.

## In pop culture

Melendez is played by Jossan Sebastian Lopez in the 2020 Amazon Prime Video series based on Menudo, "Subete A Mi Moto".

# Lendemeriella exsecuta

Lendemeriella exsecuta is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.

## Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1880 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it as a member of the genus Lecanora. After having been shuffled to various genera in its taxonomic history, Sergey Kondratyuk transferred it to the genus Lendemeriella in 2020.

## Description

Lendemeriella exsecuta is a crustose lichen, meaning it grows as a thin, crust-like layer tightly attached to its substrate. The main body (thallus) appears grey, occasionally dark grey or off-white, and forms a continuous surface that may develop small cracks creating distinct segments called areoles. These areoles measure 0.5–1 mm across and may appear slightly pinched at their base.
The reproductive structures (apothecia) are small disc-like organs measuring 0.2–0.7 mm in diameter. These sit directly on the surface without a stalk and display considerable colour variation – from brownish-yellow to orange-brown, eventually becoming completely black. The discs are surrounded by a raised rim (proper margin) that ranges from black to olive in colour and may eventually become less prominent as the disc becomes more convex.
When viewed under a microscope, the internal structure reveals several distinct layers. The spore-producing layer (hymenium) is colourless and 65–90 micrometres (μm) tall, occasionally reaching 135 μm. It contains cylindrical spore sacs (asci), each producing eight two-celled spores. These transparent spores are ellipsoid in shape, measuring roughly 12–16.5 by 6–7.5 μm, with a distinctive thickened area at their centre.
The lichen contains various chemical compounds, including several pigments that give it its characteristic appearance. When tested with common chemical spot tests, the thallus is K−, C−, and P−. However, the apothecia are K± (red). The lichen's chemistry includes several secondary metabolites such as parietin, emodin, and fragilin, along with a unique substance that remains unidentified. Like most lichens, it contains photosynthetic green algal cells (chlorococcoid photobiont) that provide energy through photosynthesis.

## Habitat and distribution

Lendemeriella exsecuta primarily inhabits Arctic and alpine environments, where it grows on silica-rich rocks that have a basic (non-acidic) chemistry. This lichen shows a preference for sheltered locations protected from strong winds, particularly in areas around and above the treeline where conditions are humid. While it is believed to have a circumpolar distribution – occurring in a band around the Earth's polar regions – it is particularly well-documented in the Alps mountain range of Europe. In the Antarctic, it has been documented from the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, where it often grows alongside Umbilicaria decussata and Usnea sphacelata. Placopsis antarctica is another typical associate.
