Firmware
In computing, firmware is a computer program that is "embedded" in a hardware device and is an essential part of the hardware. It is sometimes called embedded software. An example is a microcontroller, a part of the microprocessor that tells the microprocessor what actions to take. It can also be a larger program stored on flash memory, or uploaded onto existing hardware by a user.
As its name suggests, firmware is somewhere between hardware and software, connecting the two worlds. It can mean slightly different things to different people, especially as stand-alone electronic devices become more like computers. Like software, it is a computer program which is run by a microprocessor. But it is also linked to a piece of hardware and has no meaning without it.
On a Computer
A computer can have both firmware and software. The firmware is permanently stored in the computer, such as the BIOS, and cannot be easily changed or added to. Software, even the OS, can be replaced by reformatting the hard drive. Software includes the applications that a person operating a computer sees, like a web browser or a word processor. Sometimes a device driver is called firmware, since it is needed to run that piece of hardware, like a printer or a video card. The device driver is on the main part of the computer and can be easily updated (if an update exists).
On an Electronic Device
Other electronic devices may not look like a computer, but they still have an embedded system such as a microcontroller inside, with a program telling them what to do. This is also firmware. A TV cable box, an elevator controller and a card reader in a hotel door lock all run firmware. In this case, the firmware is the only software on the device and it runs everything, from handling button presses to turning motors on or off.
In the past, firmware was stored in ROMs but now it is often stored in media that can be written to such as EEPROMs and Flash. Firmware in many machines such as routers can now be updated without any special hardware, other than a computer and a USB cable. This is done by downloading a new version from the World Wide Web to update the device, using instructions from the device manufacturer.
An electronic device is said to be "bricked" if it cannot be started because of firmware issues. It is then as useful as a brick. Loading the wrong firmware into a device might cause this. Firmware is stored as a binary image file.

Pyrrhic War
With the end of the Samnite Wars, Rome had established itself as the lord of central Italy. Conflict with the Greek city-states (Magna Graecia) of southern Italy was unavoidable as its influence grew in the Mediterranean. In the early third century BC, the Lucanians and Bruttians continued to attack these Greek settlements, and in 283 BC, they appealed to the Roman provincial power for assistance. Tarentum was the most powerful city in Magna Graecia at the time.
Jecheon AIDS scandal
Jecheon AIDS scandal or Jecheon AIDS crime was a well-known sex crime that happened in Jecheon, South Korea. A male taxi driver was arrested by the police on 13 March 2009 for knowingly spreading HIV/AIDS to dozens of women in Jecheon between 2003 and 2009.
Pyrrhic War
Its location in southern Italy made it a significant hub for Mediterranean Sea trade while also isolating it from Roman naval action on the Tryrrhenum Sea, which connected Rome to the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. Tarentum had the most formidable naval of any Italian city at the time due to its location and relationship with Greece, and a standing treaty with Rome had been in effect since 302 BC. This contract denied Roman fleets access to the harbour of Tarantum (in Italy's heel), ensuring the Greek navy's autonomy.
In 282 BC, Rome deployed troops by sea to garrison the town of Thurii in response to an appeal for help from regional city-states like as Locri, Rhegim, Croton, and Thurii against the Lucanians. Despite the plea for assistance, Tarentum saw this as a breach of the pact and an act of hostile assault. Tarentum's first response was to drown the Roman fleet and evacuate the garrison from Thurii. In response, the Roman Senate dispatched an embassy to Tarentum under the command of L. Postumius Megellus to demand reparations. During the exchange, the Romans appear to have been insulted (a frequent theme in Livy and Polybius' history to excuse Roman invasion), and Rome declared war. Tarentum, unable to defuse the situation, raised their own army and began fighting.
Pyrrhus, a distant relative of Alexander the Great, imagined himself as a successor to Alexander the Great. He was looking to Italy for growth and glory after just confirming his rule via battle in Epirus. According to Plutarch, the fertile soil of Sicily, rather than Italy, was probably the original goal, but the opportunity to combat the burgeoning might of Rome was too good to pass up. The armies of the post-Alexander Macedonian kingdoms were the most modern and well-equipped of the time, with the Epirotes far ahead of their Roman counterparts. Pyrrhus accepted Tarentum's challenge and sailed across the Adriatic with his own soldiers and those pledged by other regional Greek Kings with the understanding that they would be employed overseas.

History of Sylhet
In the late 18th century, the British East India Company became interested in Sylhet. They saw it as an area of strategic importance in the war against Burma. Sylhet gradually fell under British control and administration. It was governed as a part of Bengal. After the British administrative reorganization of India, Sylhet became a part of Assam. It remained a part of Assam for the rest of the era of British rule.
In 1947, after a referendum, almost all of Sylhet as a district became a part of East Bengal at the time and remained so after Bangladeshi independence. The Karimganj subdivision became part of the new Indian state of Assam. The referendum was held on 3 July 1947. There were a total of 546,815 votes cast on 239 polling stations. A majority of 43.8 per cent voted in favour of East Bengal. There were protests about false votes, but the referendum was acknowledged during India's independence on 18 July 1947. In 1971, Sylhet became part of the newly formed country of Bangladesh.
Casting (fishing)
Basic methods
The most accurate type of cast is the 'overhead cast'. The angler raises the rod (and reel) back behind the head, then quickly flicks the rod forward, releasing the line as the cast is completed. The 'side cast' is less forceful but easier to learn. The rod is swung back in a horizontal motion then quickly moved forward releasing the line. Both basic methods have variations. But both are popular when using spinning and casting rods. Fly fishing uses similar movements, but the line release is different. All types of rods and reels need to match the weight rating of the rod, reel, line and lure for best performance.
Spinning rods & reels
Anyone can learn to cast a lure with a spinning rod and reel in just a few minutes. Two types of spinning reels, open faced and close faced. They work differently. With a closed face reel a push-button is held down and released at the end of the cast. Open face reels require the angler to first open the bail, then hold and release the line with your forefinger as you cast. Open faced reels have a disadvantage when casting short distances. Short casts causes the line to twist. This in turn causes line tangles on the spool. Spinning rods and reels work best using light line and light lures. Spinning reels have an advantage over casting reels when casting into the wind.
Flipping and pitching
Among the specialized types of casts with a bait casting rod are two made popular by tournament fishermen:
Fly rods & reels
Fly fishermen use artificial flies as a lure. Most flies have almost no weight and by themselves could not be cast with other types of rods and reels. The fly rod works because it uses a much heavier line than the other types. It is the line that is being cast. The fly simply goes where the line goes. Fly casting looks more difficult than it is. In less than a couple of hours most beginners can learn the basic cast. Fly casting is more involved than other types of casting. There are fly fishing schools that teach fly casting.
To cast a fly rod, the angler pulls several feet of line off the reel. The rod tip is moved back then in a fluid motion and accelerating, it is moved forward as the line is released. In fishing streams and rivers, trees and shrubs on the bank may prevent an overhead cast. Another type of cast is the 'roll cast'. Using the rod tip the fisherman forces the rod tip down to roll the line forward. Most fly lines are rated by a weight system. A 1wt (one weight) is very light while a 13wt is very heavy. It would be suitable for large salt water fish. Rods (and reels) are rated by the weight of the line they are designed for. Unfortunately there is no one size for all kinds of fish and fishing situations.
Net casting
The term may also be used for casting a net. The net is cast (thrown) by hand so that it spreads out on the water and sinks. Fish are caught in the net and it is hauled back in. Net casting is often used to catch fish for bait. Modern cast nets have a radius of from 4 to 12 feet (1.2 to 3.6 metres). A larger net full of fish may take more than one person to pull it in. Cast nets also sometimes use a 'net thrower' device. This helps spin the net as its thrown, keeping it open. Cast nets work best in shallow water.
Competitive casting
Casting (known as Casting Sport) is also a sport. The sport is supervised by the International Casting Sport Federation (ICSF). As of April 2014 are in 31 countries.
Casting competitions were active in England and the United States in the later 1800s. In 1881 the first tournament was held just outside of London. In 1955, 14 different national associations started the ICF (now ICSF). The ICSF sets all international standards for the sport. It sponsors tournaments. It also recognizes world records for accuracy and distance. This sport uses plastic weights or hookless flies. Competitions can be held on water or on athletic fields. There are competitive divisions for almost all types of fly, fixed spool and revolving spool tackle, and competitor classes. Competitive casting is part of the World Games.
World Championship in 2014 are to be held in Szamotuly (Poland), from 3 to 7 September.

Description
Chitons can be less than an inch long, or up to a foot long. They come in many different colors: black, red, pink, and even blue. The shell might be shiny or dull, or smooth, hairy, scaly, or spiny depending on the species.
Anatomy
If a chiton was picked up and turned over, there would be no eyes, legs, or arms. There would only be a wide foot with a radula that it uses for scraping surfaces. Its mantle is right under the shell, with the lowest part of the mantle coming out under the edge of the shell to help its foot grip the surfaces on which it clings or slides along. The part of the mantle which sticks out is called the girdle. Like the moon snail, the girdle may extend out over the bottom part of the shell covering the bottom half of the chiton.
Habits
Most chitons are nocturnal, so they feed at night, and hide under rocks during the day. Their main habitat is the intertidal zone. They live on hard surfaces, such as on or under rocks, or in rock crevices. Some species live quite high in the intertidal zone and are exposed to the air and light for long periods. Others live subtidally. A few species live in deep water, as deep as 6,000 m (about 20,000 ft).
Evolutionary origins
Chitons have a relatively good fossil record, stretching back 400 million years to the Devonian. Before this, some organisms have been interpreted (tentatively) as stem-group polyplacophora; the record of polyplacophora stretches back to the Upper Cambrian.
Kimberella and Wiwaxia  of the Precambrian and Cambrian may be related to ancestral polyplacophora. Matthevia is a late Cambrian polyplacophoran preserved as individual pointed valves, and sometimes considered to be a chiton. The polyplacophorans may have formed when an aberrant monoplacophoran was born with multiple centres of calcification, rather than the usual one. Selection acted on the resultant conical shells to form them to overlap into protective armour. Their original cones are homologous with the tips of the plates of modern chitons.

Raven paradox
The Raven paradox is a paradox first presented by the German logician Carl Gustav Hempel in the 1940s. The paradox stems from two intuitive principles for inductive reasoning: (i) logically-equivalent claims are interchangeable and (ii) particular instances confirm the corresponding universal generalization. Hempel showed that (i) and (ii) together entail the unintuitive conclusion that claims of the form "All As are Bs" can be confirmed by observing non-A, non-B objects.
The paradox
Saying:
is logically equivalent to saying:
Whenever (2) is true, (1) is too; likewise in all circumstances where (2) is false (i.e. if a world with white ravens is imagined), (1) is also false. Accordingly, (1) and (2) can be safely interchanged with one another.
Next, a particular object which is both A and B intuitively constitutes evidence for the claim "All As are Bs". Thus,

The channel is launched in 1985 by Rafael Ferrari. In February 1988, the station's first news program, Abriendo Brecha at 5:30 pm, was launched, directed and presented by Rodrigo Wong Arévalo.
Raven paradox
The paradox
Following the same reasoning, a green apple (a non-black and non-raven object) is evidence supporting the hypothesis that all non-black things are non-ravens.
Staryl C. Austin
Staryl Chester Austin, Jr. (September 16, 1920 – January 1, 2015) was an American brigadier general in the United States Air Force. He was a former Assistant Adjutant General of Oregon and 142nd Fighter Group’s Air Officer, Chief of the Administrative Division. He was a member of the Oregon Aviation Hall of Honor.
Raven paradox
The paradox
The paradox appears when these two principles are combined. If a green apple is evidence for "all non-black things are non-ravens" and "all non-black things are non-ravens" is equivalent to "all ravens are black", then green apples are also evidence for the hypothesis that "all ravens are black"! This conclusion is highly unintuitive despite the appeal of both starting principles.

Rhacophorus pardalis
The panther flying frog, harlequin tree frog, gliding tree frog, or panther flying tree frog (Rhacophorus pardalis) is a frog. It lives in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Phillippines.
The adult male frog is about 39-55 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is about 55-71 mm long. It has webbed skin on all four feet. The skin on the frog's back is light brown or red-brown in color. Some frogs have yellow spots. Some have blue spots. Some have no spots. The sides of the frog's body are yellow in color with black spots. The belly is yellow with orange marks. The webbed skin on the feet is orange-red in color.
This frog lives high in the tree branches. It can glide on the air from tree to tree using the webbed skin on its feet. Large groups of frogs come to the ground to lay eggs. They go to pools of water, marshes, and blocked streams.
There are fewer of this frog than there were. This is because human beings cut down forests where the frog lives.
