Polyfoils aim to overcome the linear nature of traditional documents by allowing for nonlinear organization and navigation of content. Information can be arranged in multiple panels that users can scroll through sideways to view related or expanded content. This structure acknowledges that real stories and knowledge are rarely linear and that printed documents only constrained information in that way due to limitations of the medium. Polyfoils offer a more intuitive electronic format that can better fit various types of content and suit different users' needs and preferences.
From time immemorial kids have been taught to read one-way books, with one main version, a scroll chopped into pieces called pages. Digitized books started that way too. Polyfoils bust the one-way model, allowing branches, tangents, side notes, alternative ideas, and more.

Content is the king, right?
Maybe not.
After 500 years, since Gutenberg's printing press, it seems content was deposed by the digital medium, despite most people didn't notice it yet. Because this revolution bring new concepts we can't even articulate well as they don't fit in our old paradigms.
What is 21st Century Literature? What are the different formats used by today's writers? Why should it be studied by senior high school students? I used these slides in one of our class discussions. I hope this could help senior high school teachers teaching literature.
As for the video, you may go to YouTube and look for Juan Miguel Severo's Ito na ang Huling Tulang Isusulat ko Para Sayo.
A general, national, detailed model of the U.S. electorate, including illustrations, intuitive explanations, and equations. History and model together predict electoral crisis and Clinton opportunities. Media stories recommended to manage issues specified by predictions. Note this was finished in April, and predicted GOP legislators' capitulation to Trump.
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems. Infamous data leaker IntelBroker posted on the even more infamous BreachForums hacking forum, saying that Europol suffered a data breach this month.
The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

6. The Long Dureé
Humans tell stories.
It's their thing.
Real stories are rarely linear.
They bubble up, wrap around,
zig-zag to connect dots
Novels begat readers in long
lines who wanted a straight
ride. Publishers eyed fast
presses and saw pulp fiction's
tight lines.
Linear sequence is an
economy of scale started by
Virgil, spread by Gutenberg,
inculcated at school. Like
representational painting, a
knee-jerk norm.
Many suspect it.
Scientists know it.
The world isn't linear.
Between Homer's cyclic tales
& 20th
century art & science,
documents were linear.
Then came images, film,
comics, which made print
stultifying. Proust & Joyce
broke the linear mold, but
left the masses cold.
