Ling Lun () is the legendary founder of music in ancient China.

Mythology
In Chinese mythology Ling Lun is said to have created bamboo flutes which made the sounds of many birds, including the mythical phoenix. "In this way, Ling Lun invented the five notes of the ancient Chinese five-tone scale (gong, shang, jiao, zhi, and yu, which is equivalent to 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 in numbered musical notation or do, re, mi, sol, and la in western solfeggio) and the eight sounds made by eight musical instruments. The Yellow Emperor (Huangdi) is said to have ordered the casting of bells in tune with those flutes.

An alternative text, the Lushi Chunqiu (; ), from the third century BCE credits another culture hero, Kui—who is often confused with a one-legged mythical monster bearing the same name—with the invention of music. In one version of the story, Kui makes a drum by stretching animal skin over an earthen jar that defeats another monster. In another version, Yellow Emperor fashions a drum from the skin of a kui monster.

Cultural legacy

In the computer games Civilization IV and Civilization V, Ling Lun appears as a great artist. The 2020 film Bill & Ted Face the Music features Ling Lun as one of the musicians in the titular characters' band, portrayed by Sharon Gee.

Siddhidas Mahaju () (alternative name: Siddhidas Amatya) (15 October 1867 – 29 December 1929) was a Nepalese poet and one of the Four Pillars of Nepal Bhasa. He was at the forefront in the endeavour to revive literature in Nepal Bhasa that had become stagnant as a result of official suppression. He has been honored with the title Great Poet.

Early life
Mahaju was born in Kel Tol, Kathmandu to father Laxmi Narayan and mother Harsha Laxmi. He studied at home under various tutors, and married Ganga Devi at an early age.

Career

Mahaju looked after his family's cloth shop as a young man after a stint in government service in 1886. He had to travel frequently to Kolkata, India to purchase stock, and he took advantage of the opportunity to browse libraries and book stores.

In Kathmandu, he spent more time composing poetry than looking after business, and his cloth shop suffered. Finding it difficult to make ends meet, he went to Birgunj to work for a trader as a freight forwarder. Mahaju returned to Kathmandu after a few years when business dried up. His economic condition worsened; and in 1927, he got a job as an assistant at a medicine shop.

Distressed by an unhappy family life and bad health, Mahaju went to live with his sister during his final days. He died at Pashupati.

Works
Mahaju wrote more than 44 books of poetry, epics, short stories and essays. Sajjan Hridayabharan, a book of poems on morals, was the only one published during his lifetime. It was published from Bettiah, India in 1920. Mahaju composed Siddhi Ramayana, a translation of the epic Ramayana in Nepal Bhasa, in 1913. It was published by Thaunkanhe Prakashan in 2010.

Other notable works include Satyasati (an epic on female education and considered to be his best work, written in 1913) and Siddhi Vyakaran (a grammar of Nepal Bhasa, written in 1927).

Legacy
In 1980, the Postal Service Department of the government of Nepal issued a commemorative postage stamp of Mahaju. A street in central Kathmandu was named Siddhidas Marg in his honor by Kathmandu Metropolitan City. A statue of Mahaju was erected in Hetauda in 2006.

A statue of poet Siddhidash Mahaju was established at Ratnapark, Kathmandu on the day of his birth anniversary on September 29, 2015.

Pertino was a computer networking software company based in Los Gatos, California. In December 2015, Pertino was acquired by Boise, Idaho-based networking company Cradlepoint.

History
Pertino was a Silicon Valley-based startup company founded by Craig Elliott and Scott Hankins.  It derived its name from its city of origin, Cupertino, California. Elliott was a former Apple (NSDQ:AAPL) executive who later served as CEO at Packeteer Networks, where he led the company through its acquisition by Blue Coat Systems in 2008. Co-founder and CTO Hankins was the former Director of Engineering at Blue Coat Systems, where he led the software integration of PacketShaper technology into the onboard flight systems of the Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk drone. Other founding members include Andrew Mastracci (Architect) and Michael Cartsonis (Former VP of Product and Business Development).

In October 2012, Pertino released a private beta test of its Cloud Network Engine in the Spiceworks online IT community. Also in October, Pertino raised US$ 8.5 million in venture capital from Norwest Venture Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners, as well as a number of private investors. Pertino secured B-round financing five months later with a $20 million investment from Jafco Ventures. 

Pertino introduced its network-as-a-service (NaaS) in February 2013. 

In October 2013, Pertino announced its Fall release at the Spiceworld IT conference in Austin, Texas. The release included a redesigned web management dashboard and AppScape, reportedly the industry's first cloud network app store for network services. The company also released its beta version of Pertino for Android, giving visibility to Android devices, in addition to Windows and Mac machines.

In December 2015, Pertino was acquired by Boise, Idaho-based networking company Cradlepoint.

Products
The company developed technology known as a Cloud Network Engine, which combined software-defined networking (SDN) technology with wide-area network (WAN) virtualization, a field now known as SD-WAN. The network engine was hosted in data centers around the world such as Amazon Web Services, Rackspace, and Linode.

Users could deploy a cloud-based network by downloading and installing Pertino's software, and then invite others to join.  Users installed software on office resources including file servers, application servers, local printers, or desktops to enable remote connectivity.

The Causeway Retreat was an addiction treatment centre located on Osea Island near Essex, England, which operated from 2005 to 2010.

History
In 1903, Frederick Nicholas Charrington, who had disinherited himself from his family's brewing business and become a prominent temperance campaigner in London's East End, purchased an island off the coast of Maldon, Essex called Osea Island. During Mr. Charrington's time, the island provided free treatment to those individuals suffering from the ill effects of alcohol and opiate addiction. In return for treatment, clients would remain on the island and work the land. The island was eventually requisitioned by the Admiralty and subsequently turned into a top secret torpedo manufacturing base for both World Wars.

In 2005, Brendan Quinn, a psychiatric nurse with a diploma in addiction treatment, founded The Causeway Retreat for addiction treatment on Osea island, with business partner Nigel Frieda, a music producer. Although The Causeway Retreat was closed down, the island continues to be used as a non-profit retreat by former servicemen and women suffering from PTSD.

News reports of licensing and other problems
In March 2010, The Causeway Retreat was reported to be under investigation by the UK health regulator Care Quality Commission (CQC), which regulates NHS trusts and private clinics.  Licensing, staffing, supply of medicines and the role of the charitable arm Changing Lives were listed as areas to be examined.

On 29 April 2010, a further report claimed that the Care Quality Commission had ordered the retreat to close, after it had admitted new patients despite a request not to do so pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations that it was treating patients without a licence under the Care Standards Act. The CQC was reported to have asked the retreat to remove its clients and close its doors within a week. It was also reported that some families whose relatives had been treated at the retreat had launched legal action against it.

The Causeway Retreat was refused registration on 30 September 2010 by the Care Quality Commission, and Brendan Quinn was suspended as a nurse by the Nursing and Midwifery Council on 20 September 2010. On 19 November 2010 Brendan Quinn's Twenty 7 Management, which had run the Causeway Retreat, pleaded guilty at Chelmsford Magistrate's Court, was fined £8,000 plus £30,000 costs, for running an unlicensed hospital. District Judge David Cooper said the firm's standards "would really shame a third world country".

Farallon, later renamed Netopia, was a computer networking company headquartered in Berkeley, and subsequently Emeryville, California, that produced a wide variety of products including bridges, repeaters and switches, and in their later Netopia incarnation,  modems, routers, gateways, and Wi-Fi devices. The company also produced the NBBS (Netopia Broadband Server Software) and, as Farallon, Timbuktu remote administration software, as well as the MacRecorder, the first audio capture and manipulation products for the Macintosh (later sold to Macromedia). The company was founded in 1986 and changed its name to Netopia in 1998. Farallon originated several notable technologies, including:

 PhoneNet, an implementation of AppleTalk over plain ("Cat-3") telephone wiring or, more commonly, EIA-TIA 568A/B structured cabling systems. Many versions of the product were produced, but the original product was a commercialized version of a kit developed and produced by BMUG, the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group in 1986.

 The StarController, a line of LocalTalk and Ethernet bridges and switches released in 1988 which integrated directly with EIA-TIA 568A/B structured cabling systems.

 EtherWave, an ADB-powered serial-to-ethernet bridge in a dongle form-factor which looked something like a manta ray. The two external ports were 10BASE-T and the serial pigtail spoke an overclocked 690kbps version of LocalTalk. This served both to allow devices without expansion busses (commonly early Macintosh computers and LaserWriter printers) to connect directly to Ethernet networks, and also to allow the daisy-chaining of multiple devices from a single Ethernet switch or bridge port. Later versions used Apple's "AAUI" version of the Attachment Unit Interface to achieve full 10mbps host connections.

 AirDock, a Serial-to-IrDA gateway which allowed devices with LocalTalk ports to communicate on IrDA infrared wireless networks.
Netopia acquired multiple companies in the home networking space including Cayman and DoBox, Inc. DoBox, Inc., founded by Nicole Toomey Davis, Bradley Davis and Matt Smith, was acquired in 2002  for its award-winning DoBox Family Firewall and Home Server Gateway.  

Netopia was acquired by Motorola in the first quarter of 2007.

ISPs known to use Netopia modems include:
 AT&T in the United States
 Sonic.net in the United States
 Covad in the United States
 eircom in Ireland
 Swisscom in Switzerland
 NextGenTel in Norway
 France Télécom, Cegetel RSS, B3G Telecom, Nerim, Easynet, Claranet, Magic Online in France
