Brian Winston is a British media scholar who was the first Lincoln Professor at the University of Lincoln. He has worked as a journalist since 1963 and has written extensively on the development of media technologies and their social impact. Some of his most influential works examine how the potential of new communications technologies is often suppressed to maintain the status quo. According to Winston, new technologies only become widely adopted when they fulfill an existing social need, and their disruptive aspects are limited, following a pattern from prototypes to inventions to mass adoption.

Marshall Mc Luhan - The extensions of man
1. Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian philosopher who theorized that technology is an extension of human abilities and that it shapes human identity and cognition. He argued we see ourselves reflected in the tools and media we use.
2. McLuhan's ideas influenced theorists like Seymour Papert who argued computers can help children understand how their minds work by learning to program computers. However, some question if we can truly recognize ourselves in technology.
3. McLuhan saw electronic media like TV and the internet as "tribal drums" that create a new sense of collective identity over individualism, which poses a challenge to modern liberal values.

National & international communication by Amber Malik & Hina Nawab
The New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) emerged in the 1970s as developing countries protested the dominance of Western news agencies in global information flows. NWICO aimed to foster more equitable communications between developed and developing worlds. Major issues included the unbalanced flow of media from developed to developing countries, unfair allocation of radio spectrum and geostationary orbits, and lack of input from developing countries in decisions around satellite technologies and communication standards. While NWICO discussions aimed to address global imbalances, the United States opposed it as a threat to free press.

Aitp 2012 keynote on futuring and innovation
The document discusses various topics related to futuring and innovation including:
- Defining what a futurist is and examples of early futurists like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne.
- Techniques for forecasting the future like the Delphi method, scenario writing, and analyzing forces of change.
- Examples of past predictions and technological innovations that came to fruition as well as those that did not.
- The impact of emerging technologies and social media in enabling new forms of communication, collaboration, and sharing of information in real-time across the world.
The Information Revolution
The information network created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1990 to connect people to knowledge has become an important place to navigate who and what we know, as well as who we think we are. But how much of a revolution is it? This lecture will trace some of the most important developments in social uses of information technologies in order to ultimately argue that the Web does offer unprecedented opportunities to access information and galvanise communities of practice, but that the impact of this new medium will reflect an evolution rather than a revolution of communication practices.
Artificial thought
The document discusses a project called the NASA Blue Beam Project which involves using technology to manipulate humans on a global scale. It describes methods like using satellites to broadcast electromagnetic waves that can interact with people's thoughts and induce artificial thoughts. The goal is said to be total social control by using fear, mind control, and advanced technology to convince people that a new world order and global religion are necessary through faked supernatural events like alien invasions. It warns that these methods could cause hysteria and chaos on a global scale.
Science
Science has greatly improved human comfort and quality of life. It has revolutionized transportation and communication, allowing people to travel greater distances more quickly and easily stay in touch with distant friends and relatives. Science has also increased entertainment options through inventions like printing, radio, television, and cinema. Advances in agriculture and industry through machinery have increased food production and manufacturing. Medicine and surgery have advanced greatly through discoveries of disease causes and cures that save many lives. However, some argue that a reliance on science and technology could corrupt humans and that weapons developed through science pose grave threats if misused.

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptx
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark Universe
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
