title: Maan massacre

text:
The Maan massacre was a reported massacre of Alawites in the village of Ma'an, Syria on 9 February 2014.

Events
On 9 February 2014, rebels of the Jund al-Aqsa group attacked and captured the Alawite village of Maan, in Hama province, killing 21 civilians as well as 20 pro-government militiamen according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). SOHR said that 14 of them were women.

The Syrian government gave a much higher death toll, initially claiming 42 civilians were killed and later 60, most of them women, children and the elderly. The government blamed Nusra Front; however, rival rebel group Ahrar al-Sham said that its fighters collaborated with another group to kill around 50 pro-government fighters in the village and denied that the Nusra Front was involved.

Aftermath
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon later expressed great shock at the "dozens" reported dead and demanded that "perpetrators of this massacre" be brought to justice.

The massacre caused demonstrations against Al Qaeda, Al Nusra Front, and the ruling Justice and Development Party by the Alawite community in Hatay, Mersin, Istanbul and other  Turkish cities.

On 17 February 2014, the Syrian Army recaptured Maan "after shelling and fighting.".

title: Tanner Berryhill

text:
Tanner Blake Berryhill (born November 29, 1993) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes for Tyler Thomas Motorsports in Dirt Midgets, driving the No. 91B Toyota. He has also competed in the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, ARCA Menards Series, and ARCA Menards Series East in the past.

Racing career
Berryhill is a veteran of Legends and midget car racing. He made his debut in NASCAR competition in 2011, driving in seven K&N Pro Series East races before moving to the Nationwide Series in 2012.

In 2014, Berryhill ran the whole season with Vision Racing. During qualifying at Talladega, Berryhill was involved in a single-car accident when Kyle Larson came down into him. He would be replaced by Chad Boat, as he and Billy Boat Motorsports used the No. 17 owner points to qualify into the race. His best finish was a 17th place finish at Mid-Ohio. Berryhill would finish 22nd in points.

In March 2015, Berryhill announced his attempt to make his Sprint Cup Series debut in the CampingWorld.com 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, driving the No. 66 Premium Motorsports Chevrolet SS. A successful attempt would have made him the first Oklahoma driver in NASCAR's highest division in 34 years. However, he failed to qualify. Berryhill returned to the team for the Sprint All-Star Race's Sprint Showdown, finishing 27th and 21st in the two segments.

After being absent from NASCAR for a few years, on September 21, 2018, it was announced that Berryhill would attempt the Charlotte Roval race in the No. 97 car for Obaika Racing. However, he did not qualify for the race.

On November 6, 2018, Berryhill announced he would drive the No. 97 Toyota for Obaika Racing at Phoenix, where he made his first Cup Series qualifying attempt three years prior. He started the race 36th but was involved in an accident and did not finish the race, scoring in 31st. On December 3, he stated that he would be running the full 2019 Cup schedule with Obaika, though the team skipped the 2019 Daytona 500 due to funding issues. Originally the Obaika team was scheduled to return the following race, but the team instead temporarily suspended operations, after briefly being on the entry list for the race at Texas Motor Speedway. Berryhill departed the team shortly thereafter.

On May 3, 2021, it was announced that Berryhill would return to NASCAR after spending the previous two years without a ride, and would drive the No. 23 for Our Motorsports at Darlington in May and both races at Texas.

title: Economy (album)

text:
Economy is the second studio album by Christian singer-songwriter John Mark McMillan, released on November 1, 2011 by Integrity Music. The album was produced by McMillan, Jeremy Griffith and Joel Khouri.

Critical reception

Economy garnered critical acclaim from nine music critics. At CCM Magazine, Matt Conner rated the album four stars, saying that McMillan "has found a Springsteen-like groove that resonates deeply with its honest questions and vulnerable organic approach", which "is beautiful from front to back." Philip Majorins of PopMatters rated the album six out of ten, writing that the songs are structured in a way that makes them "mostly compelling and certainly emotional" and the release "contains hopeful strains that do not go out of their way to gloss over the human condition." At Christianity Today, Robert Ham rated the album four stars, indicating that this "is a rare work" because it can be played anywhere, as the release features a "strong, turbulent collection that rambles with the same mid '70s rock-influenced drive of artists like Wilco and Bright Eyes."

At Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks rated the album four-and-a-half stars, affirming that "Economy has stepped things up in every corner" because the album "is a great investment in profound and awe-inspiring worship, and it’s unhesitatingly one of the best albums of the year as a result." Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout rated the album four-and-a-half stars, stating that "McMillan once again proves to be one of the best artists that Integrity has to offer, with a sound that is very solid and refreshing", and that listeners should "Give Economy a listen, [and] admire the fact that there are still worshippers who make good music, and praise God along with the other satisfied listeners." At Indie Vision Music, Jessica Cooper rated the album four stars, calling the album "phenomenal" for its "same dynamic and hard-hitting elements of McMillan's writing carry over to create a sense of familiarity, but in a fresh way", and the lyrics "conveys a heavy, impermeable weight of hope".

At Louder Than the Music, Jono Davies rated the album four-and-a-half stars, underscoring that "It isn't a clean cut worship album, and that's fine with me and anyone else who wants gripping, creative, inventive, original, fresh, new, inspired, experimental, honest, heartfelt, spine tingling moments of worship." David Huey of Christian Music Zine rated the album four-and-a-half stars, highlighting how "Economy is an emotional, authentic rock album that can easily be placed in the worship genre." At The Blue Indian, Holly Etchison rated the album nine-and-a-half out of ten, proclaiming the album to be "Jubilant. Unfettered. Triumphant. Catastrophic. Resplendent." In addition, Etchison notes that "His Economy subtly and skillfully asks the real question facing the poverty stricken, the prosperous: it is not what don’t we have, but what do we have?"

Commercial performance
For the Billboard charting week of November 19, 2011, Economy was the No. 95 most sold album in the entirety of the United States via the Billboard 200 and it was the No. 6 most sold album in the Christian category by the Christian Albums charting. Also, the album was the No. 23 most sold album on the Top Rock Albums chart, and it was the No. 16 most sold on the Independent Albums chart.

title: Man in Love (2014 film)

text:
Man in Love (; lit. "When a Man Is in Love") is a 2014 South Korean romance drama film about a terminally ill gangster who falls in love for the first, and likely last, time. It stars Hwang Jung-min and Han Hye-jin. It was remade in Taiwan with same name

Plot
Tae-il is a low-level thug who goes around the streets of his neighborhood in Gunsan, collecting debts for a loan shark and harassing shop owners for the protection money owed to the small gang he works for. He is 42 years old, lives with his barber brother Young-il and Young-il's family, and has never been in love. Tae-il does well at his job and doesn't seem to harbor many scruples about it, but then he meets Ho-jung, a bank clerk who is taking care of her debt-ridden, terminally ill father. During their first encounter, Tae-il forces her to sign a contract that requires her to sell her organs if she can't pay back her father's debt on time. After their not-so-pleasant first meeting, however, Tae-il finds himself thinking about Ho-jung constantly and his conscience begins to get the better of him. He writes a new contract and offers it to her: He will exempt her from the debt if she goes on date with him. The more dates she goes on, the less debt she will have to pay off. Ho-jung rejects his offer at first, but knowing that she is unable to make the payments at any cost, she reluctantly agrees. As they start to go on awkward "dates," an unlikely romance blossoms between the two. Following his prolonged courtship, Tae-il tries to leave the gang life behind him, but the break isn't clean. Unfortunately he is soon diagnosed with cancer and his relationship with Ho-jung is suddenly thrown into jeopardy.

The Minnesota Correctional Facility – Rush City is a prison for men operated by the Minnesota Department of Corrections in Rush City, Chisago County, Minnesota.

Rush City is the state's newest prison, opened in February 2000.  The $90 million project stands as the largest single structure in the county, employs about 350 workers, and at the ten-year mark in 2010 was reported to have met local expectations as a quiet and relatively well-run prison.

But in June 2010, 27-year-old inmate Xavius Scullark-Johnson died after a string of overnight seizures while held in Rush City, where he was denied emergency medical care.  In deteriorating health for months, he anticipated his own death in letters to his mother.    His family sued the Department of Corrections, the contracted health care provider Corizon, and the individuals involved.   The DOC agreed to settle the suit for $400,000 and promised additional training.

title: Peruta v. San Diego County

text:
Peruta v. San Diego, 824 F.3d 919 (9th Cir. 2016), was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pertaining to the legality of San Diego County's restrictive policy regarding requiring documentation of "good cause" that "distinguish[es] the applicant from the mainstream and places the applicant in harm's way" (Cal. Pen. Code §§ 26150, 26155) before issuing a concealed carry permit.

After an initial ruling (2-1) in 2014 that held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protected the right to carry a concealed weapon, the court reheard the case en banc, ultimately reversing the lower court ruling, saying that "there is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public."  While the ruling technically applied to all states and territories under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit, it only applied to California and Hawaii in practice because the remaining states in the Ninth Circuit's area of responsibility have either Shall-Issue licensing policies or allow concealed carry without a permit.

The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which in June 2017 denied the writ of certiorari, leaving the Ninth Circuit's en banc opinion in place. On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in NYSPRA v. Bruen that the "good cause" requirement was unconstitutional.

Reasoning
The court reviewed the history of gun control cases in which laws forbidding the concealed carry of weapons were involved. They covered a time period from 1299 (in England) to the late 1800s US Supreme Court. The majority opinion was that there was an "overwhelming consensus" of historical case decisions establishing that there was never a time in history when courts believed that states could not prohibit concealed carry. Consequently, they concluded it could not be a violation of the long-standing interpretation of the Second Amendment.

The minority argued that a prohibition on concealed carry for the general public, accompanied by a similar prohibition on open carry, was a de facto gun ban, and therefore is unconstitutional under District of Columbia v. Heller.

Details
Under San Diego's policy, a typical citizen in San Diego County cannot bear arms in public for self-defense because by San Diego's definition, typical citizens cannot distinguish [themselves] from the mainstream and receive concealed carry permits (Peruta v. San Diego (9th Cir, 02-13-14) p. 54.). Although prior to January 1, 2012, it was legal to openly carry an unloaded handgun in public, in October 2011 Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that modifies the law on openly carrying an unloaded firearm to match the restrictions for openly carrying a loaded weapon, effectively prohibiting (in all but limited circumstances) the open carry of firearms whether loaded or unloaded. (Cal. Pen. Code §§ 25850, 26155.) Thus, the court found San Diego County's restrictive policy in combination with California's denial of open carry ultimately resulted in the destruction of the typical law-abiding, responsible citizen's right to bear arms in any manner in public, thereby violating the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

History
The February 13, 2014 decision is written by Diarmuid O'Scannlain, with Consuelo María Callahan joining and Sidney Runyan Thomas dissenting, and affirmed the right of responsible, law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun in public for lawful self-defense. The primary plaintiff, Edward Peruta, was represented by attorneys Paul Neuharth, Jr. from San Diego and Chuck Michel from Long Beach.

On February 27, 2014 California Attorney General Kamala Harris filed a petition for en banc review of the decision. As the state was not a formal party of the case, her action is not an appeal, but merely a request that the full court re-hear the case en-banc on its own initiative (sua sponte). The court denied Harris's  petition on November 12, 2014.

On December 3, 2014, the Ninth Circuit announced that a judge on the circuit made a sua sponte call for a vote on whether the case should be reheard en banc. The court gave the parties, and any Amici curiae, 21 days to file briefs setting forth their positions whether the case should be reheard en banc.

On March 26, 2015, the Ninth Circuit announced that they would hear the case, along with Richards v. Prieto, en banc, including setting aside the original rulings in the cases and stating that they were not to be used as case law. The cases were argued on June 16, 2015.

On June 9, 2016, the en banc court reversed the lower court ruling, saying that "there is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public." The en banc ruling did not address the constitutionality of restrictions on open carry, leaving that matter open to potential future litigation.

On June 23, 2016, the plaintiff-appellants petitioned the Ninth Circuit for a full-court re-hearing. On August 15, 2016, the Ninth Circuit denied the petition for a full-court en banc rehearing.

On January 12, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court.

On June 26, 2017, the Supreme Court denied the writ, with Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Gorsuch, dissenting:

Reactions
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department issued a press release on February 21, 2014, stating it will not seek review of the decision by the entire membership of judges sitting in the Ninth Circuit, and that, "Should the decision of the Ninth Circuit become final, the Sheriff's Department will begin to issue CCW's in situations where the applicant has met all other lawful qualifications and has requested a CCW for purposes of self-defense."

As a result of the court's original decision in 2014, the Orange County Sheriff's Department has loosened requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit. Instead of requiring the applicant to have "good cause," the applicant need only to assert that a permit is needed for self-defense or personal safety.

Related cases

Scocca v. Smith
Scocca v. Smith – In 2008, Tom Scocca, a former law enforcement officer, applied for a concealed-carry permit from Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith, and was denied because he could not show "good cause." Scocca sued Smith, and the case was put on hold pending decisions in San Diego and Yolo County cases, and has since been dismissed.

Richards v. Prieto
In addition to Peruta, the same judges heard the Richards v. Prieto case at the same time, which challenged the handgun carry license policy of Yolo County Sheriff Ed Prieto.  The case originally was entitled Sykes v. McGinness and included Sacramento County's then-sheriff, John McGinness, as a defendant. Sacramento County changed its licensing policy during the lawsuit, and the complaint against McGinness was dismissed.

After ruling on Peruta, the Ninth Circuit judges unanimously ruled in Richards:

Baker v. Kealoha
In addition to Peruta, the same judges heard the Baker v. Kealoha case at the same time, which challenged the handgun carry law in Hawaii.  After ruling on Peruta, the Ninth Circuit judges in a 2–1 vote ruled in Baker:

NYSRPA v. Bruen
On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court issued a decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, holding that New York's requirement that carry permit applicants demonstrate a good reason to require a permit was unconstitutional. The following week, the California Attorney General directed state law enforcement authorities to cease enforcement of California's own good cause restriction. As a result, the state is shall-issue, but the ease of acquiring a permit has yet to be determined as the Attorney General emphasized that issuing authorities may continue to enforce the good moral character requirement in a manner the objective nature of which is unknown.

title: Pteria sterna

text:
Pteria sterna, or commonly known as the rainbow-lipped pearl oyster or the Pacific wing-oyster, is a species of marine bivalve mollusk in the family Pteriidae, the pearl oysters. This oyster can be found in shallow water along the tropical and subtropical Pacific coast of America, its range including Baja California, Mexico and northern Peru.

History
Fragments of shell ornaments made from the nacre of the Pacific wing-oyster have been found at ancient burial sites in Mexico, probably belonging to the indigenous Seri people of the Sonora region. This oyster has been the subject of a pearl fishery in the Gulf of California since before the arrival of Hernan Cortez in 1535; the Spaniards quickly appreciated the value of the harvest and in 1586 they declared the gathering of oysters to be a right of the Spanish crown. In 1874, compressed air diving equipment made harvesting the oysters easier. Over-exploitation caused populations of the oyster to become depleted and in 1940 the fishery was closed by the Mexican Government, a ban that still remains in force.

Distribution
Pteria sterna is found in shallow water along the tropical and subtropical Pacific coast of America. Its range includes Baja California, Mexico and the Talara Province of northern Peru where its depth range is .

Pearl culture
The Pacific wing-oyster naturally produces gray, pink, golden, green and purplish pearls. With the dwindling of the number of wild oysters, efforts to farm this species on a commercial scale to produce pearls have been made. The production of cultured pearls requires the grafting of a pearl nucleus, together with a portion of mantle tissue from a donor into a recipient oyster. The culture of round pearls in Pacific wing-oysters is technically hard; the oysters are small and the shells are thin, the shape of the shell makes the seeding operation difficult and the pearl sack is wide at the base which means that the graft may shift around. With experience, technicians gain expertise in seeding and yields can be high, with pearls reaching a maximum of  in diameter.

title: Biclique attack

text:
A biclique attack is a variant of the meet-in-the-middle (MITM) method of cryptanalysis. It utilizes a biclique structure to extend the number of possibly attacked rounds by the MITM attack. Since biclique cryptanalysis is based on MITM attacks, it is applicable to both block ciphers and (iterated) hash-functions. Biclique attacks are known for having weakened both full AES and full IDEA, though only with slight advantage over brute force. It has also been applied to the KASUMI cipher and preimage resistance of the Skein-512 and SHA-2 hash functions.

The biclique attack is still () the best publicly known single-key attack on AES. The computational complexity of the attack is ,  and  for AES128, AES192 and AES256, respectively. It is the only publicly known single-key attack on AES that attacks the full number of rounds. Previous attacks have attacked round reduced variants (typically variants reduced to 7 or 8 rounds).

As the computational complexity of the attack is , it is a theoretical attack, which means the security of AES has not been broken, and the use of AES remains relatively secure. The biclique attack is nevertheless an interesting attack, which suggests a new approach to performing cryptanalysis on block ciphers. The attack has also rendered more information about AES, as it has brought into question the safety-margin in the number of rounds used therein.

History
The original MITM attack was first suggested by Diffie and Hellman in 1977, when they discussed the cryptanalytic properties of DES. They argued that the key-size was too small, and that reapplying DES multiple times with different keys could be a solution to the key-size; however, they advised against using double-DES and suggested triple-DES as a minimum, due to MITM attacks (MITM attacks can easily be applied to double-DES to reduce the security from  to just , since one can independently bruteforce the first and the second DES-encryption if they have the plain- and ciphertext).

Since Diffie and Hellman suggested MITM attacks, many variations have emerged that are useful in situations, where the basic MITM attack is inapplicable. The biclique attack variant was first suggested by Dmitry Khovratovich, Rechberger and Savelieva for use with hash-function cryptanalysis. However, it was Bogdanov, Khovratovich and Rechberger who showed how to apply the concept of bicliques to the secret-key setting including block-cipher cryptanalysis, when they published their attack on AES. Prior to this, MITM attacks on AES and many other block ciphers had received little attention, mostly due to the need for independent key bits between the two 'MITM subciphers' in order to facilitate the MITM attack — something that is hard to achieve with many modern key schedules, such as that of AES.

The biclique
For a general explanation of what a biclique structure is, see the article for bicliques.

In a MITM attack, the keybits  and , belonging to the first and second subcipher, need to be independent; that is, they need to be independent of each other, else the matched intermediate values for the plain- and ciphertext cannot be computed independently in the MITM attack (there are variants of MITM attacks, where the blocks can have shared key-bits. See the 3-subset MITM attack). This property is often hard to exploit over a larger number of rounds, due to the diffusion of the attacked cipher.

Simply put: The more rounds you attack, the larger subciphers you will have. The larger subciphers you have, the fewer independent key-bits between the subciphers you will have to bruteforce independently. Of course, the actual number of independent key-bits in each subcipher depends on the diffusion properties of the key-schedule.

The way the biclique helps with tackling the above, is that it allows one to, for instance, attack 7 rounds of AES using MITM attacks, and then by utilizing a biclique structure of length 3 (i.e. it covers 3 rounds of the cipher), you can map the intermediate state at the start of round 7 to the end of the last round, e.g. 10 (if it is AES128), thus attacking the full number of rounds of the cipher, even if it was not possible to attack that amount of rounds with a basic MITM attack.

The meaning of the biclique is thus to build a structure effectively, which can map an intermediate value at the end of the MITM attack to the ciphertext at the end. Which ciphertext the intermediate state gets mapped to at the end, of course depends on the key used for the encryption. The key used to map the state to the ciphertext in the biclique, is based on the keybits bruteforced in the first and second subcipher of the MITM attack.

The essence of biclique attacks is thus, besides the MITM attack, to be able to build a biclique structure effectively, that depending on the keybits  and  can map a certain intermediate state to the corresponding ciphertext.

How to build the biclique

Bruteforce
Get  intermediate states and  ciphertexts, then compute the keys that maps between them. This requires  key-recoveries, since each intermediate state needs to be linked to all ciphertexts.

Independent related-key differentials
(This method was suggested by Bogdanov, Khovratovich and Rechberger in their paper: Biclique Cryptanalysis of the Full AES)

Preliminary:
Remember that the function of the biclique is to map the intermediate values, , to the ciphertext-values, , based on the key  such that:

Procedure:
Step one: An intermediate state(), a ciphertext() and a key() is chosen such that: , where  is the function that maps an intermediate state to a ciphertext using a given key. This is denoted as the base computation.

Step two: Two sets of related keys of size  is chosen. The keys are chosen such that:
 The first set of keys are keys, which fulfills the following differential-requirements over  with respect to the base computation:
 The second set of keys are keys, which fulfills the following differential-requirements over  with respect to the base computation:
 The keys are chosen such that the trails of the - and -differentials are independent – i.e. they do not share any active non-linear components.
In other words:
An input difference of 0 should map to an output difference of  under a key difference of . All differences are in respect to the base computation.
An input difference of  should map to an output difference of 0 under a key difference of . All differences are in respect to the base computation.

Step three: Since the trails do not share any non-linear components (such as S-boxes), the trails can be combined to get:  ,
which conforms to the definitions of both the differentials from step 2.
It is trivial to see that the tuple  from the base computation, also conforms by definition to both the differentials, as the differentials are in respect to the base computation. Substituting   into any of the two definitions, will yield  since  and .
This means that the tuple of the base computation, can also be XOR'ed to the combined trails:

Step four: It is trivial to see that:

If this is substituted into the above combined differential trails, the result will be:

Which is the same as the definition, there was earlier had above for a biclique:

It is thus possible to create a biclique of size  ( since all  keys of the first set of keys, can be combined with the  keys from the second set of keys). This means a biclique of size  can be created using only  computations of the differentials  and  over . If  for  then all of the keys  will also be different in the biclique.

This way is how the biclique is constructed in the leading biclique attack on AES. There are some practical limitations in constructing bicliques with this technique. The longer the biclique is, the more rounds the differential trails has to cover. The diffusion properties of the cipher, thus plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of constructing the biclique.

Other ways of constructing the biclique
Bogdanov, Khovratovich and Rechberger also describe another way to construct the biclique, called 'Interleaving Related-Key Differential Trails' in the article: "Biclique Cryptanalysis of the Full AES".

Biclique Cryptanalysis procedure
Step one: The attacker groups all possible keys into key-subsets of size  for some , where the key in a group is indexed as  in a matrix of size . The attacker splits the cipher into two sub-ciphers,  and  (such that ), as in a normal MITM attack. The set of keys for each of the sub-ciphers is of cardinality , and is called  and . The combined key of the sub-ciphers is expressed with the aforementioned matrix .

Step two: The attacker builds a biclique for each group of  keys. The biclique is of dimension-d, since it maps  internal states, , to  ciphertexts, , using  keys. The section "How to build the biclique" suggests how to build the biclique using "Independent related-key differentials". The biclique is in that case built using the differentials of the set of keys,  and , belonging to the sub-ciphers.

Step three: The attacker takes the  possible ciphertexts, , and asks a decryption-oracle to provide the matching plaintexts, .

Step four: The attacker chooses an internal state,  and the corresponding plaintext, , and performs the usual MITM attack over  and  by attacking from the internal state and the plaintext.

Step five: Whenever a key-candidate is found that matches  with , that key is tested on another plain-/ciphertext pair. if the key validates on the other pair, it is highly likely that it is the correct key.

Example attack
The following example is based on the biclique attack on AES from the paper "Biclique Cryptanalysis of the Full AES".
The descriptions in the example uses the same terminology that the authors of the attack used (i.e. for variable names, etc).
For simplicity it is the attack on the AES128 variant that is covered below.
The attack consists of a 7-round MITM attack with the biclique covering the last 3 rounds.

Key partitioning
The key-space is partitioned into  groups of keys, where each group consist of  keys.
For each of the  groups, a unique base-key  for the base-computation is selected.
The base-key has two specific bytes set to zero, shown in the below table (which represents the key the same way AES does in a 4x4 matrix for AES128):

The remaining 14 bytes (112 bits) of the key is then enumerated. This yields  unique base-keys; one for each group of keys.
The ordinary  keys in each group is then chosen with respect to their base-key. They are chosen such that they are nearly identical to the base-key. They only vary in 2 bytes (either the 's or the 's) of the below shown 4 bytes:

This gives  and , which combined gives  different keys, . these  keys constitute the keys in the group for a respective base key.

Biclique construction
 bicliques is constructed using the "Independent related-key differentials" technique, as described in the "How to construct the biclique" section.
The requirement for using that technique, was that the forward- and backward-differential trails that need to be combined, did not share any active non-linear elements. How is it known that this is the case?
Due to the way the keys in step 1 is chosen in relation to the base key, the differential trails  using the keys  never share any active S-boxes (which is the only non-linear component in AES), with the differential trails  using the key . It is therefore possible to XOR the differential trails and create the biclique.

MITM attack
When the bicliques are created, the MITM attack can almost begin. Before doing the MITM attack, the  intermediate values from the plaintext:
,
the  intermediate values from the ciphertext:
,
and the corresponding intermediate states and sub-keys  or , are precomputed and stored, however.

Now the MITM attack can be carried out. In order to test a key , it is only necessary to recalculate the parts of the cipher, which is known will vary between  and . For the backward computation from  to , this is 4 S-boxes that needs to be recomputed. For the forwards computation from  to , it is just 3 (an in-depth explanation for the amount of needed recalculation can be found in "Biclique Cryptanalysis of the full AES" paper, where this example is taken from).

When the intermediate values match, a key-candidate  between  and  is found. The key-candidate is then tested on another plain-/ciphertext pair.

Results
This attack lowers the computational complexity of AES128 to , which is 3–5 times faster than a bruteforce approach. The data complexity of the attack is  and the memory complexity is .

title: Count to Four

text:
Count to Four are an American progressive pop-punk band. Initially founded in 2009, the band did not release material or push social media sites until 2010 at which point their lineup was solidified. Since inception, Count to Four recorded and self-released three EPs and a full-length studio album from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2013. Currently the band is unsigned but under Kolossal Management with booking and PR teams.

History

Formation and the self-titled EP (late 2009 - early 2010)
The band formed when singer Mike Hayden and drummer Pete Adams started playing songs together. They both realized they had an affinity for pop punk music, namely Fall Out Boy. They soon after brought in bassist Paul Porado and began writing material. In late 2009 the band brought guitarist Jay Miller in and recorded a self-titled EP at Old Soul Studios. The EP was released on Myspace and Bandcamp for free downloads, before ultimately being taken down by the band. The band currently claims that they are mainly influenced by the bands Fall Out Boy, Rufio, Jimmy Eat World, August Burns Red and blink-182.

Know Where You Come From (early 2010 - early 2011)
April 2010 the band recorded their second EP at 37 Studios with Producer / Engineer Matt Dalton  The band also mutually parted ways bassist Paul Porado and brought in new bass guitarist Vini Stamto. The EP provided what the song "Growing Up and Growing Beards" as well as a crowd favorite "We Don't Have Good Days Anymore," both songs of which are still found in the band's live set. The EP also contained the ballad "No It's A Pattern," its title being a clever answer to the previous EP's track 3 question - (see Discography section).
The band saw some mild success from the album, landing some showcases with larger national acts, and selling nearly 2000 digital downloads via Bandcamp. They were also featured on a few smaller blog sites, such as Tumblr blog "Fuck Yeah Pop Punk" and DyingScene.com

Acoustic EP (2011–2013)
Right before going back into the studio to record their first full-length album, in October 2011 the band again mutually parted ways with their 2nd bass player. Meanwhile, the band self-recorded and surprise released a 4 track acoustic record. The EP contained an acoustic version of "Growing Up and Growing Beards" previously released off of Know Where You Come From. It also contained two previously unreleased tracks, "Tear It Apart (Acoustic)" and "Beamquake."
They also added an acoustic rendition of the "Pokémon Theme Song" made popular by the Pokémon TV Series. The band even went as far as creating a Pokémon themed teeshirt, and often discussed their love for the video games in interviews, hence why they covered the song  Aside from this song receiving some viral traction due to the popularity of the franchise, the Acoustic EP was an album seemed to be brushed under the rug, as it did not receive much press attention and was given away as a free download.

Between Two Cities (2013 - present)
Almost immediately after releasing their acoustic record, Count to Four returned to 37 Studios to work again with Matt Dalton on their first full-length record they titled "Between Two Cities."  Although recorded in November 2011, the album wasn't released until April 2013. The band attributed the long delay to  "road blocks" in post-recording and a "rigorous touring schedule" as they toured for almost the whole of 2012.

The band often talk in interviews about the concept behind the album title and how it tied into the album art and lyrical content. The entire album conceptually is a struggle between who a person was and who they are trying to be - torn between two stages of your life. The "two cities" also for the band represent NY and Philadelphia, due to that half of their members were living in each city while they were recording the album.

Prior To release
In late February 2013 the band announced the release of the long-awaited and anticipated record, and released a new track "I Hope Not" for streaming via Bandcamp. Several weeks before the record's release, the band premiered another new song and their first ever music video for the song "Lavender Town". A week before release another new song titled "Bottles and Books" was released via a lyric video on MTV Buzzworthy  The success of the music video secured the band's first international physical distribution of their album in a small record shop in Japan.

After release
Between Two Cities is Count to Four's best selling release to date. Critics gave the album positive reviews in its first week of release. PR giants Property of Zack claimed the album to be "quintessential pop-punk at its finest"  while MTV claimed the "throwback vibe was uniquely refreshing." The album topped the Bandcamp punk charts at #1 and secured a slot on the Bandcamp the overall best sellers at #3 in its first week of release. It is still in the top 10 most artist recommend punk albums on Bandcamp.

After releasing another lyric video for the song "Get To It," Count to Four released a compilation of video track-by-track commentaries through 10 different sites over 10 days (1 site per song). They then followed up with a national tour deemed the "Aint No Country Wide Enough" tour.

Shortly after returning home from tour, they went on to film another music video in late 2013 for their second single and opening track "I Hope Not." The video was picked up by MTV producers and placed in rotation on MTVU. The band also earned the runner up position for the fan voted mtvU Freshman award.

IndieGoGo campaign and name change
Count to Four planned made plans to tour and release another album after singer Mike Hayden departed the band to pursue grad school.

They ran an IndieGoGo Campaign to help raise money for a new album and successfully raised over $15,000. With that money, they recorded a full length with producer Taylor Larson without a singer.

They ran open vocal tryouts with the aid of Spencer Sotello of Periphery. Through the vocal tryouts, they acquired Lucas Cote, who quickly left for personal reasons. Since then, they changed the band name to Neverkept officially and brought in Dorian Cooke as the main vocalist, who is also the guitarist of Broadside and Former Vocalist of Battleghost.

Just as before on previous projects, Harrison served as executive producer for With Love (alongside record producer Yonny) which entailed her scouting the producers, songwriters, arranging the album track listing, and keeping track of the accounting. Her sixth studio album K.I.S.S. (Keep It Sexy & Simple) was an international release with a variety of different genres. However, with this EP, Harrison chose particular songs that suited the Valentine's Day theme. In an interview with Page31.com, she spoke more on the EP and how it came to be orchestrated, saying:
"Well, I've been recording now for years and years and I wanted to put something together for the fans. I made some resolutions about what this year is going to look like for me and that's how it started. This is just my V-Day treat."

As the interview continued, she described the EP's creative and recording process, stating, "You know, I didn't go into the studio saying 'I'm going to make a V-Day EP'. I stay in the studio. I have a studio in LA and DC and I travel with a studio, so I'm always creating all kinds of stuff of all different genres and on every track there is musicianship and live music. There's really nothing that I'm chasing other than putting people in the mood. That's what music should be: an experience. That's why I chose these particular songs around Valentine's Day."

Release
Two days before release, Harrison began uploading and teasing fans with snippets of the four-track EP on her SoundCloud account. At midnight EST on February 14, 2014, With Love was made available for purchase worldwide through Harrison's label imprint Planet 9 and INgrooves on iTunes and Amazon, etc. With Love commemorates the release of her debut single "It's All About Me" (February 14, 1998) and 16th anniversary in the entertainment industry.

Critical reception

Upon its release, With Love received universal acclaim from music critics. Gerrick D. Kennedy of Los Angeles Times gave With Love a positive review and called the EP "Mýa's long overdue comeback", writing "From the frank sexuality of 'Do It' to the anthemic 'Like a Woman', the four-track EP is a reminder of why Mýa is missed on the R&B scene."

Soul Bounce writer J. Ly gave the EP a positive review as well, and spoke of its production, stating, "The four-song EP dips into musical fare we've come to expect from the triple threat – contemporary R&B spiced with of-the-moment hip hop – but also shows progression in vocals and melodies borrowed from the same recipe as her Moodring album." He continued by saying "Though it barely clocks in at 12 minutes long, With Love feels like a reintroduction to Mýa." Referring to the EP as a whole, Ly concluded: "Maybe it's us missing her that makes the EP so refreshing or maybe it's just fun to have new material. Either way, With Love is worth a spin of encouragement."

Wetpaint critic Lindsay Dreyer commented on Harrison's voice and the EP's production as well, opining, "Though her voice definitely has a more seasoned quality, it hasn't lost its purity — 'Like a Woman' is about as pristine as it gets, while all three uptempo jams, 'Space', 'House Party', and 'Do It' bring back a late-'90s vibe."

title: Louis Dimier

text:
Louis Dimier (11 February 1865 – 21 November 1943) was a French art historian and royalist.

Dimier was among the many early members of the Action Française who were practising Catholics (along with Bernard de Vésins and Léon de Montesquiou). They helped Charles Maurras (1868–1952) develop the royalist league's pro-Catholic policies.

In 1915, during the First World War, Dimier published Les troncons du serpent: idée d'une dislocation de l'empire allemnd at d'une reconstitution des Allemagnes in which he advocated partitioning Germany into around 100 free cities and allocating German lands to Poland and Sweden, with the Rhineland and the Ruhr being a workers' state entrusted to trade unions.

title: Brunei–United Kingdom relations

text:
The Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have formal diplomatic relations. Brunei has a High Commission in London, and United Kingdom has a High Commission in Bandar Seri Begawan. Both countries are members of the Commonwealth and share history and have a friendly and strong relationship, dating back to the 19th century - which includes very strong friendships between both countries' monarchs and royal families.

Education relations

In 2014, there were 1,700–2,000 Bruneians studying in the United Kingdom and there is a connection between both countries' universities, with the United Kingdom being a popular choice for many Bruneians to study in.

Economic relations

In economics, the United Kingdom and Brunei have a bilateral trading relationship. The exports from Brunei to the United Kingdom total about £100 million. The United Kingdom is also actively engaged in encouraging small businesses from Brunei to take their products into international markets. The United Kingdom has signed the accession protocol to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership,a trade bloc which Brunei is already a part of, which would further enhance and build upon the trading relationship amongst the United Kingdom and Brunei.

Security relations

There are very strong defence relations that date back before the independence of Brunei from the British Empire. The United Kingdom operates a garrison in Brunei, which has British Army and Royal Air Force personnel, which cooperate and help regularly with the Royal Brunei Armed Forces. This defence cooperation includes equipment sales, training, military and intelligence exchanges and assistance and the sharing of experiences. The Sultan of Brunei himself is an honorary Air Chief Marshal of the Royal Air Force and an honorary Admiral of the Royal Navy.

The 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment is the field artillery battalion organic to the 1st  Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 11th Airborne Division. Originally organized in 1916, the battalion has seen combat service in World War I, World War II, Korea, and the Global War On Terror. Most recently deploying to Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. The Automatic Battalion has earned, 14 campaign streamers and at least 8 unit awards. The battalion is currently at Fort Wainwright, Alaska.

History

Constituted 1 July 1916 in the Regular Army as Battery B, 8th Field Artillery. Organized 7 July 1916 at Fort Bliss, Texas. Reorganized and redesignated 1 October 1941 as Battery B, 8th Field Artillery Battalion, an element of the 25th Infantry Division. Inactivated 1 February 1957 in Hawaii and relieved from assignment to the 25th Infantry Division.

Redesignated 1 July 1957 as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 2d Howitzer Battalion, 8th Artillery, assigned to the 7th Infantry Division, and activated in Korea. Redesignated 1 July 1963 as the 2d Battalion, 8th Artillery. Inactivated 2 April 1971 at Fort Lewis, Washington

Redesignated 1 September 1971 as the 2d Battalion, 8th Field Artillery. Activated 21 April 1975 at Fort Ord., California. Relieved 16 August 1995. from assignment to the 7th Infantry Division and assigned to the 25th Infantry Division

In December 1989, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery turned in their M102 howitzers and became the first unit in the US Army to field the M119. That same month, fire support elements from the battalion deployed to Panama during Operation JUST CAUSE with the 1st Brigade Task Force (DRB-2). The brigade served as part of Task Force ATLANTIC until it re-deployed in February 1991. In April 1993, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery moved from Fort Ord, California to Fort Lewis, Washington with the 1st Brigade, 7th Infantry Division, often called the 9th Infantry Regimental Combat Team. On 21 January 1995, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to support humanitarian operations. During deployment the battalion was separated into two teams. Team Alpha, consisting of HHS and A Battery, operated Migrant Camp G. Team Bravo, consisting of B and C Batteries, operated Migrant Camp E. The 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery re-deployed to Fort Lewis on 7 June 1995. On 16 August 1995, the battalion was relieved from assignment to the 7th Infantry Division and assigned to the 25th Infantry Division, as the direct support artillery unit to the 1st Brigade (Lancers).

In 2002, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery began its transformation with the 1st Brigade while they transitioned from a "light" BCT to a "Stryker" BCT and became only the second BCT to complete the transformation at the time. In doing so, they became the Army's newest Stryker brigade combat team as the Army was in the midst of a major force restructuring and transformation.

On October 15, 2004, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery was again called to duty, this time to participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom III. As a part of the Army's newest Stryker BCT, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery relieved the 1st Battalion, 37th FA assuming all security and support duties of the area surrounding Quaryyah in the Multi-National Division North's Area of Operation. The battalion officially unfurled its colors at Forward Operating Base Endurance, in northern Iraq on November 2, 2004. During their year in Iraq, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery partnered with the 3rd Battalion, Iraqi Army, and successfully began an Iraqi Army training Program. After a year of stability and security operations, the battalion cased its colors once more and returned to Fort Lewis, Washington. Almost immediately upon the 1st Brigade's return from combat, it was given orders to re-flag and subsequently did so from the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, to the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment on 6 June 2006. The 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery colors were then cased and shipped to the nation's last frontier.

On 14 December 2006, the battalion's colors were once again unfurled in frigid Fort Wainwright, Alaska, as the 172 Stryker Brigade Combat Team and 4th Battalion, 11th Field Artillery re-flagged and assumed the colors of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team and 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery. After the reset period, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery was again called to duty along with the 1st Stryker Brigade and was sent to the Iraqi Province of Diyala as a part of the Multi-National Division North and unfurled its colors in October 2008 at Forward Operating Base Warhorse. After a year-long deployment to Iraq, conducting counterinsurgency and stability and support operations the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery redeployed to Alaska and unfurled its colors at home in October 2009.

In March 2011, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery was directed to Afghanistan. In May 2011, the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery officially unfurled its colors at Forward Operating Base Lindsey, southeast of Kandahar, Afghanistan, in Regional Command – South. Throughout its year in RC-South the battalion was tasked to conduct direct support artillery for 1st Brigade's counter-insurgency operations. Throughout the battalion, most all battery and platoon positions were in two gun firebase positions spread all over RC-South. The 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery redeployed to Alaska and unfurled its colors at Fort Wainwright in May 2012.

Why they call it the "Automatic" Battalion:

The 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment is known as the “Automatic Battalion” or the “Automatic Eighth.”

“Of the eight battalions that were part of the regiment when I first joined 2-8 FA in August 1993, we are the lone battalion left (in the Department of the Army),” said 2-8th Commander, Lt. Col. Matthew Anderson. Of the 2-8th “Automatic” nickname, Anderson said, “The moniker goes back to the Korean War when basically everyone in the battalion manned the howitzers to fire artillery rounds to defend against a North Korean attack. So at the end of the day, the U.S. line held, and as all the North Korean prisoners of war were being moved back to the U.S. rear, they wanted to see the automatic artillery, because the rounds were being fired just that quickly,” he said.

title: Jan van der Vaart (painter)

text:
Jan van der Vaart or Jan van der Vaardt (name variations: John Van der Vaart, John Vander Vaart, Jan van der Waart) (c.1650 –1727) was a Dutch painter and draughtsman of portraits, landscapes and trompe-l'œil paintings and a mezzotint artist who was active in England for most of his career.  He was also an art restorer and art collector.

Life
Van der Vaart was born in Haarlem, where he trained with Thomas Wijck. Van der Vaart is documented from 1674 onwards in London. Here he worked in the workshop of another Dutch immigrant, Willem Wissing, who was a pupil and former collaborator of the court portrait painter Sir Peter Lely.  Van der Vaart painted draperies and landscapes in the portraits of Wissing. After Wissing's death in 1687, van der Vaart continued his workshop.  He collaborated on occasion with the German-born painter Johann Kerseboom.

In 1713 van der Vaart sold off his collection and built a house in Covent Garden.  He stopped painting and confined himself to the restoration of paintings because of his deteriorating eyesight.  He died in London, a bachelor, and his nephew Arnold continued his restoration business.

He was probably the teacher of the famous English mezzotint engraver John Smith (1652–1742).

Work
He was a versatile painter and painted in a wide range of genres including flower still lifes, religious paintings, history paintings, landscapes, portraits and trompe-l'oeil still lives.  According to Walpole he painted a trompe l'oeil of a violin on a door at Chatsworth House. He is primarily known for his portraits and landscapes.

A number of van der Vaard's portraits were engraved in mezzotint by Bernard Lens for the print publisher Edward Cooper. Van der Vaart was himself one of the earliest practitioners of mezzotint in England and produced many prints after portraits made by portrait artists like Sir Peter Lely, Willem Wissing etc.

title: Bodh'aktan

text:
Bodh'aktan (pronounced Bod Ak Tan) is a Canadian traditional music group, based in Quebec, that fuses elements of Irish, Celtic, Québécois, Maritime, and Breton music with hard rock, country, polka, and punk. The name is inspired by a Gaelic term for fishermen's boots, and by the French pronunciation for the famous Acton boots Botte Acton. Many of the members wear kilts during their stage performances.

History
Bodh'aktan was founded in 2011 by Robert Langlois (bass, vocals), Eric Gousy (drums, vocals), Jonathan Moorman (violin), Éric Tanguay (vocals, accordion), Alexandre Richard (vocals, guitar, flute) and Alain Barriault (vocals, guitar). That year, they released their debut
French-language album was Au Diable Les Remords..., which was co-produced by Fred St-Gelais. The band then toured of Quebec and Europe, with dates in France, Belgium, and Germany. They played at many major summer festivals in Quebec in 2012 including Les FrancoFolies de Montréal, Le Festival d'été de Québec, and Le Festival des Rythmes du Monde.

In 2013, they released their second (French) album, Tant Qu'il Restera Du Rhum. The song La Sainte Nitouche became a crossover pop hit on the Quebec charts and was played on rotation on many Quebec radio stations and on MusiquePlus.

Also in 2013, the band released an album in English, Against Winds and Tides. This album had four new tracks, with the rest English translations of the album Au Diable Les Remords..., and one cover song, "Killing in the Name", and a folk-rock cover of the Rage Against the Machine song. Artistic collaborations on the album included vocals from Alan Doyle (of Canadian folk-rock band Great Big Sea) and Quebec singer Marie-Mai, and a guest appearance from German Celtic music band Fiddler's Green in a rendition of their "Fields of Green" featuring Bodh'aktan. The album was released on 8 October 2013 in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and various European countries. They also appeared at the 2013 Festival International de Louisiane.

In 2014, Jonathan Moorman left the band and was replaced by violinist Marc Angers. Luc Bourgeois also joined the band, on bagpipes, flute and guitar. Bodh'aktan then recorded an album of cover songs, in English, called Mixtape (Covers), which was released in 2015. That was followed in 2016 by the album Bodh'Aktan. Through October 2016 and January 2017, Bodh'aktan played the Canada Pavilion at Epcot at Walt Disney World.

In 2018, the band released the album Ride Out the Storm. Langlois and Angers left the band and were replaced by Benoit Claveau on bass and vocals, and violinist Marc-Etienne Richard. This new line-up recorded the album De temps et de Vents, which was released in 2019. This album included contributions from Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains and was praised by London Celtic Punks magazine for encapsulating "everything that Celtic-Punk should be about". In 2021, Bodh'aktan released the compilation album Live - De Part Et D'Autre De L'Atlantique.

Awards and nominations
In 2012, Bodh'aktan's debut album, Au diable les remords was nominated for a Félix Award for Quebec Rock Album of the Year.
At ADISQ 2016, Bodh'aktan's album Bodh'aktan was a nominee for the Rock Album of the Year.
