Grace Wick
Short description
Grace Wick (March 7, 1888 – 1958) was an American actress, radio producer, and right-wing political activist based in Portland, Oregon. Initially a supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, she became known for her theatrical political protests and later emerged as a vocal critic of Roosevelt’s policies.
Grace Wick
Early life
Early life Wick was born in Harlan, Iowa, in 1888. She pursued a career in acting and lived for a time on the East Coast. In 1922, she moved to Jackson County, Oregon with her husband George Merritt and supported Democrat Walter M. Pierce’s successful gubernatorial campaign. After divorcing Merritt in 1924, she attempted to start a film career in Hollywood, which did not materialize. She settled in Portland in 1927 and worked as an actress and radio producer.
Grace Wick
Political activism
Political activism Wick initially supported Franklin D. Roosevelt and campaigned for him in the 1932 presidential election. However, she later turned against the New Deal, claiming it had failed to assist women and the unemployed. In 1934, she ran as an Independent candidate for Oregon’s 3rd congressional district but was defeated by Nan Wood Honeyman, Oregon’s first woman elected to Congress. In May 1935, she gained national attention by parading down Broadway in Portland wearing a barrel covered with slogans like “One of the Forgotten Women of the New Deal,” in protest of unemployment. In 1936, she announced her candidacy for Mayor of Portland, Oregon, promising "a kiss for everyone in Portland," but soon withdrew from the race. In the late 1930s and 1940s, Wick’s politics shifted further right. She joined organizations such as the National Gentile League and the American Woman’s Party, and her speeches became increasingly anti-Semitic and isolationist. She opposed U.S. involvement in World War II and blamed Jews, Communists, and immigrants for national and global problems.

TVRI Kepulauan Riau
Copy edit
TVRI Kepulauan Riau (officially LPP TVRI Stasiun Kepulauan Riau, also known as TVRI Kepri) is a regional television station owned by Televisi Republik Indonesia, which, through the Provincial Government of the Riau Islands, covers Batam, Tanjung Pinang and adjacent areas. Its programming includes local newscast Kepri Hari Ini and local talk shows, as well as relaying TVRI's national schedule. Its studio and transmitting station are located in Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands.

History
TVRI Kepulauan Riau
TVRI carriage in the Riau Islands before 2021
TVRI carriage in the Riau Islands before 2021 On 2 June 1980, TVRI began testing transmissions from Batam, a city adjacent to the provincial capital Tanjungpinang, on VHF channel 6. Its strategic location made it possible for its reception in Singapore, becoming the fifth channel receivable overall, after the two SBC channels from the local transmitter and the two RTM channels from Johor, all of which broadcast on the VHF band. It was a mere relay station without local programming catering Batam, and its regular broadcasts started on 26 June, little more than three weeks after the tests began. Juma'at bin Sujak, an assistant technician at Telecoms, was mocked because of the reception of the Batam relay station after discovering its existence at his home, because his colleagues at the company thought that Indonesia was far away. A cadet in an army camp in Jurong also received the signals and thought it was a test signal from SBC on a new frequency. The transmitter was located 20km away from Singapore, with the quality of the reception depending on the location. The transmitter extended its reach in August 1982, enabling the signal to be picked up across all of Singapore (up until then, limited mainly to south-eastern Singapore) and also in Johor Bahru.
TVRI Kepulauan Riau
Local programming
Local programming On 9 November 2021, 41 years after the beginning of TVRI relays in the Riau Islands, local programming originating out of Tanjungpinang started for the first time, with the inauguration of the facilities, which include a small studio for local production. At the time, TVRI had pledged its commitment to broadcast to remote areas of Indonesia, as well as the chances of improving the quality of the local output. With its opening, all Indonesian provinces now had a TVRI local station. On 27 May 2022, groundbreaking work for a full local building began. Local secretary Adi Prihantara stipulated that the importance of a station was largely due to the fact that the islands have a strong cultural diversity and strong tourist destinations. In December 2024, three people working for the construction of the building were charged for corruption and were detained. The state allegedly lost IDR 9,3 billion.

Conscription in Sudan
Short description
Conscription in Sudan was established in 1972 but only strictly enforced from 1992 onward. Service durations vary by education level, with conscription extending to men aged 18 to 45 and sometimes beyond. The government has employed forced recruitment, particularly targeting ethnic minorities and students, leading to widespread evasion, harsh punishments, and reports of abuse in training camps. During the ongoing civil war, mass mobilisations have been initiated by both the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, with concerns over underage recruitment.
Conscription in Sudan
Establishment
Establishment Mandatory national military service was established in 1972 during Gaafar Nimeiry presidency, but have been poorly enforced until 1992 during the Kizan Era. The National Service Act of 1992, article 7, stipulate that "every Sudanese who completed eighteen years and did not exceed thirty three years of age shall submit to the imposition of National Service". The military service lasts for 12 months for those who have graduated from universities and colleges, 18 months for high school graduates, and 24 months for those without these qualifications. Under national conscription, all individuals are eligible for service starting at age 18, but they may defer their service by paying a fine, or through student registration and deferments until graduations, although this was suspended between 1996 and 1998. The age limit was raised to 45 years as part of the Military Service Act of 2013, which also gave the Ministry of Defence the power to call upon individual under 60 years old to serve in the army. The 1992 and 2013 Act allowed authorised individuals to issue further exempts, although affluent riverine Arab families often able to avoid service through bribery and corruption. People who are medically unfit being exempted. Conscription also extended to women. After the 2018 Sudanese revolution and the 2019 coup d'état, the mandatory national military service became poorly enforced with more focus on mandatory civil service for graduates.
Conscription in Sudan
Aim
Aim According to the National Service Act of 1992, article 4, the National Service seeks to prepare individuals for military and social responsibilities by fostering discipline, cooperation, and leadership while promoting self-confidence and readiness for sacrifice. It aims to build strong attachment to the community and patriotism, overcoming selfishness and fanaticism. Additionally, it focuses on ensuring physical fitness and developing skills through education and training for both military and civilian roles.
Conscription in Sudan
Forced conscription
Forced conscription The 1992 and 2013 Act allowed for forceful conscription and call-ups. The 1992 law prohibits those called for military service from pursuing education, employment, or leaving the country, and restricts graduation and professional licensing until service requirements are met. Military conscription was intense between 1995 and 1998 and early 2002 during the Second Sudanese Civil War, due to insufficient voluntary enlistment. The government forced recruitment since 1995, press gang and apprehending men in public spaces and establishing control posts in Khartoum, particularly in impoverished areas. In 1997, a general mobilisation led to the recruitment of thousands of students, with secondary school students receiving military training before joining the armed forces. This lead to mass immigration for youth from Sudan. Forced conscription was widespread in the Darfur, Kordofan, and Blue Nile regions, particularly targeting non-Arab men from ethnic minorities familiar with the local terrain and military tactics. This practice has also occurred in Khartoum since 1989, focusing on non-Arab men. Despite official recruitment age limits, underage conscription has been widespread, including reports of boys as young as 12 being forcibly recruited, even from vulnerable groups like street children. Some recruits were forced to joined the Popular Defence Forces, a paramilitary force controlled by the ruling National Islamic Front.
Conscription in Sudan
Conscription evasion punishment
Conscription evasion punishment The National Service Act of 1992 prescribes imprisonment up to three years, fines, or both for those who violate its provisions. Specifically, individuals who avoid recruitment, use deceit, or harm themselves to evade service face two to three years in prison. Objection to conscription is not legally recognised. Captured evaders and deserters face severe punishments such as detention, torture, and possible deployment to conflict zones. Punishments vary by commanders and can be extreme, including execution; administrative actions against service objectors include job suspension, home raids, legal prosecution, public naming, and charges related to national security. The 2013 Act adds fines and up to six months imprisonment for refusing reserve service without valid reasons, and three years imprisonment for crimes committed during service. Punishments for evasion, including fines, imprisonment, or forced conscription, are inconsistently enforced along ethnic lines. Measures against evaders reportedly include job suspension or termination, raids, legal action, public naming, and prosecution for national security offences. Individuals who evaded military service and were absent from Sudan for a long time may face punishment upon return. Treatment varies by connections and ethnicity, as connected individuals might pay fines, while others, particularly non-Arabs or those from peripheral regions, could be jailed. Those identified as security threats or unable to prove service are at higher risk of detention. Military service evasion has sometimes been exploited as a pretext to target individuals of security interest. Individuals with political profile who were absent from Sudan for a long time face punishment upon return.
Conscription in Sudan
Conditions during conscription
Conditions during conscription On 2 April 1998, 74 students fleeing Al 'Aylafun military camp to visit family during Eid al-Adha were shot, with 55 drowned crossing the Nile. Protests against harsh training and abuse occurred in multiple camps in 2006. In 2012, recruits were hanged in Hantoub and shot in Nyala after protesting mistreatment and poor food; other deaths occurred in Wad Madani. In 2014, riots in Western Kordofan over degrading treatment led to police tear gas intervention. Recruits face indoctrination promoting racial and religious violence and fight alongside the army and Popular Defence Forces. Disease outbreaks are common and worsened by limited medical care.
Conscription in Sudan
Sudanese civil war
Sudanese civil war During the Sudanese civil war (2023–present) between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), in June 2023, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the Commander-in-Chief of the SAF, initiated a mass mobilisation dubbed the Popular Resistance, uniting people across political affiliations in "defence of national dignity," and to protect themselves and their property. The SAF oversees mobilisation and readiness camps. It is voluntary to join. Sky News Arabia reported on the conscription of hundreds of children between the age of 12 and 14 at a military camp near Shendi, River Nile State. The RSF, primarily composed of individuals from Darfur, responded by increasing their recruitment efforts.

Cloud et Clet Cloud et Clet sont deux moines légendaires du Sud-Ouest de la France, auxquels la tradition populaire attribue la découverte fortuite de l’Armagnac, l’une des plus anciennes eaux-de-vie françaises. Bien que leur existence ne soit pas historiquement attestée, leur histoire illustre avec humour les origines possibles de cette boisson emblématique de la Gascogne. La légende Plusieurs versions de la légende circulent, toutes situant les faits dans un monastère de la région de Nogaro, entre le IXᵉ et le XIᵉ siècle. Version du vin chaud oublié Dans une première version, deux frères convers, Claud et Clet, chargés de surveiller le vieillissement des vins provenant des dîmes locales, décident de se préparer un vin chaud. Alors qu'ils chauffent du vin blanc dans une casserole couverte, une visite impromptue les interrompt. Ils versent alors le liquide dans un petit tonneau et l'oublient. Cinq ans plus tard, lors d'un banquet en l'honneur de l'archevêque d'Auch, le contenu du tonneau est servi par hasard. À la surprise générale, le breuvage a développé des arômes subtils de coing et de violette. Interrogés, les deux moines avouent leur mésaventure. Le couvercle de la casserole avait retenu les vapeurs d'alcool, produisant ainsi une eau-de-vie : l'Armagnac était né. Version de la marmite dissimulée Une autre version met en scène les mêmes protagonistes, Cloud et Clet, qui, chaque semaine, prélevaient une marmite de vin pour leur consommation personnelle. Un soir, surpris par une visite du prieur et de l'évêque, ils dissimulent leur marmite sous un couvercle, prétendant qu'elle sert à plumer les volailles. Sommés de poursuivre leur tâche, ils chauffent le vin devant leurs supérieurs, puis cachent le liquide dans un tonnelet vide, oublié derrière des fagots. Trois ans plus tard, lors d'une nouvelle visite de l'évêque, le tonnelet est redécouvert. Le breuvage, désormais vieilli, séduit l'évêque qui demande la recette de cette "ambroisie". Les moines confessent alors leur histoire, donnant naissance à la légende de l'Armagnac. Portée culturelle Ces récits, bien que légendaires, soulignent le lien profond entre le patrimoine spirituel et viticole de la Gascogne. L'Armagnac, produit dans les départements du Gers, des Landes et du Lot-et-Garonne, est reconnu pour sa richesse aromatique et son histoire séculaire.

Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
AfC submission/draft
A Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) is a motor vehicle in which the majority of its functionality, capabilities, and user experiences are enabled and controlled by software, rather than traditional hardware components. In contrast to conventional vehicles—where systems such as engine control, braking, infotainment, and navigation are managed by separate, hardware-specific electronic control units (ECUs)—SDVs utilize centralized computing platforms and abstract hardware via software layers, allowing dynamic updates and reconfiguration over the lifespan of the vehicle.
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Overview
Overview The SDV paradigm signifies a shift in the automotive industry, where the vehicle becomes a dynamic digital platform capable of continuous evolution through software updates. This transformation enables the deployment of new features, performance improvements, bug fixes, and security patches after the vehicle is sold, akin to updates in smartphones and computers. Key to the SDV concept is the decoupling of hardware and software. Manufacturers develop vehicles with modular architectures, where software can interact with various hardware components via standardized interfaces, facilitating upgrades and compatibility across models and generations.
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Architecture
Architecture SDVs rely on high-performance computing systems that consolidate previously distributed ECUs into centralized domain controllers or even a single vehicle computer. These systems often run real-time operating systems (RTOS) alongside general-purpose OSes such as Linux or Android Automotive. Typical SDV architecture includes: Vehicle Operating System (vOS): A foundational software layer that manages hardware abstraction, communication, scheduling, and security. Middleware: Enables interoperability between applications and hardware or between multiple software components. Cloud Integration: Allows remote management, data analytics, diagnostics, and software deployment over-the-air (OTA). Digital Twin Technology: Maintains a virtual replica of the vehicle in the cloud for simulation, diagnostics, and predictive maintenance.
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Key Features
Key Features Over-the-Air Updates (OTA): Allows remote installation of software upgrades without visiting a service center. Feature Unlocking and Monetization: Offers optional features on demand, such as enhanced driving modes or infotainment apps. Personalization: Enables user profiles, settings, and preferences to be stored in the cloud and transferred between vehicles. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS): Software-defined perception, decision-making, and control capabilities for semi-autonomous or fully autonomous driving. Telematics and Connectivity: Real-time communication with external networks, including cellular, Wi-Fi, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X).
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Advantages
Advantages Flexibility and Adaptability: Features can be added or modified post-sale, extending the value of the vehicle. Shorter Development Cycles: Modular software development allows rapid prototyping, testing, and deployment. Cost Efficiency: Consolidating hardware components can reduce physical complexity and manufacturing costs. Enhanced Security: Faster response to cybersecurity threats through software patches. Sustainability: Software updates can optimize performance and energy usage, extending vehicle life.
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Challenges
Challenges Cybersecurity Risks: Connectivity and centralized systems make SDVs more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring updates comply with safety regulations across multiple regions. Complexity in Software Testing: High levels of integration require extensive validation to avoid software faults in safety-critical systems. Data Privacy Concerns: Continuous data collection raises concerns over user consent and data usage. Legacy Systems Compatibility: Integrating older mechanical or electronic systems with modern software poses challenges.
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Industry Adoption
Industry Adoption Major automotive manufacturers and technology companies are investing heavily in SDV platforms. Companies such as Tesla, General Motors, Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, and Hyundai have announced initiatives to transition to software-centric development. Collaborations with technology firms like Google, Apple, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm have led to the emergence of software ecosystems tailored for vehicles. Electric vehicles (EVs) have been a driving force in SDV adoption due to their relatively simpler mechanical systems and greater reliance on electronics and software.
Draft:Software-Defined Vehicle
Future Outlook
Future Outlook The software-defined vehicle is expected to become the dominant paradigm in the automotive industry over the next decade. As vehicles evolve into connected, intelligent, and autonomous platforms, software will increasingly define the driver experience, maintenance patterns, and even vehicle monetization models. SDVs are also seen as foundational to the broader development of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms, smart cities, and integrated transportation systems, where vehicles operate as nodes in an intelligent, data-driven network.

Wojciech Bystrzonowski (1699–1782) was a Polish Jesuit priest, philosopher, and educator. He was born in Małopolska in 1699. During his academic career, he authored works on mathematics and liberty. His most popular work, Polak sensat w liście (1730), was a school text that offered open-ended questions related to contemporary issues of liberty, such as the veto. Bystrzonowski praised Polish democracy but also argued that too much liberty could give way to "wanton license." Bystrzonowski was also rector of the Jesuit College in Poznań.

History
History Fragile X Society was established in 2003. Shalini Kedia initiated the organisation following a personal experience with Fragile X syndrome and encountering a lack of readily available guidance and support in India at the time. The society aimed to build a support system for affected families and connect them with medical professionals. Over the years, the society has focused on various awareness initiatives. For instance, in 2023, it was involved in a campaign encouraging the lighting up of buildings in teal to raise awareness for Fragile X syndrome.
