In July, holding a 5-5 record and 5.45 ERA and recording at least six innings in just 7 of 13 starts (compared to 23 of 26 in all of 2011), Tomlin stated, "Last year, they could count on me to save the bullpen. It's bothered me that I've been like that. It's frustrating." On August 21, 2012, Tomlin underwent Tommy John surgery and was eliminated for the rest of the 2012 season and was expected to miss the entire 2013 season. However, he did pitch in one game on September 12, 2013, when he pitched two shutout innings against the Chicago White Sox in a relief appearance.

He finished the 2014 season appearing in 25 games, 16 of them starts, with a record of 6-9 in 104 innings.
The following season, Tomlin underwent shoulder surgery in April 2015, and started just 10 games for the Indians.
On January 15, 2016, he and the Indians agreed to a one-year deal for the 2016 season worth $2.5 million. Negotiations continued, and 11 days later, another year was added to the contract, for the same $2.5 million base salary. A team option, worth $3 million, was available for the 2018 season.

He had a very low walk rate, leading the majors with only 1.03 bases on balls per 9 innings pitched. He also started 4 games for the Indians in their postseason route to the World Series, going 2–1 with a 4.58 ERA.
In 2017, he had a record of 10-9 with a 4.98 ERA in 26 starts.

Cleveland Indians
Tomlin was drafted again by the Cleveland Indians in the 19th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft, and did sign. Since 2006, he has played with various minor league baseball teams including the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Lake County Captains, Kinston Indians, Buffalo Bisons, and Columbus Clippers.
At Columbus, Tomlin went 8–4 with a 2.68 ERA in 20 appearances, including 17 starts. He has an overall minor-league record of 51–24 with a 3.20 ERA.
Tomlin was promoted to the Indians to make his major league debut against the New York Yankees on July 27, 2010, where he outpitched the Yankees' CC Sabathia, earning a 4–1 win. In 12 starts for the Indians, Tomlin went 6-4 with a 4.56 ERA in 73 innings. In 2011, Tomlin pitched most of the season in the Indians rotation, finishing with a record of 12-7 in 26 starts.
On May 7, 2012, Tomlin pitched a no-decision with a career-high eight strikeouts in a win versus the White Sox. The following day Tomlin reported soreness in his wrist and was placed on the 15-day disabled list after undergoing an MRI which revealed inflammation to soft tissue. In July, holding a 5-5 record and 5.45 ERA and recording at least six innings in just 7 of 13 starts (compared to 23 of 26 in all of 2011), Tomlin stated, "Last year, they could count on me to save the bullpen. It's bothered me that I've been like that. It's frustrating." On August 21, 2012, Tomlin underwent Tommy John surgery and was eliminated for the rest of the 2012 season and was expected to miss the entire 2013 season. However, he did pitch in one game on September 12, 2013, when he pitched two shutout innings against the Chicago White Sox in a relief appearance.
Tomlin was called up from AAA Columbus on May 5, 2014, and placed on the Cleveland Indians starting rotation, replacing Carlos Carrasco. On June 28, Tomlin pitched a near perfect game against the Seattle Mariners, striking out 11, walking none, and giving up one hit. The only player to reach base was Kyle Seager, getting a lead off single in the fifth. Tomlin went on to get a complete game shutout, leading the Indians to a 5-0 victory. He finished the 2014 season appearing in 25 games, 16 of them starts, with a record of 6-9 in 104 innings.
The following season, Tomlin underwent shoulder surgery in April 2015, and started just 10 games for the Indians.
On January 15, 2016, he and the Indians agreed to a one-year deal for the 2016 season worth $2.5 million. Negotiations continued, and 11 days later, another year was added to the contract, for the same $2.5 million base salary. A team option, worth $3 million, was available for the 2018 season. The Indians exercised Tomlin's 2018 option on November 3, 2017. He finished the regular season starting 29 games for the Indians, establishing career highs in every statistical pitching category. He had a very low walk rate, leading the majors with only 1.03 bases on balls per 9 innings pitched. He also started 4 games for the Indians in their postseason route to the World Series, going 2–1 with a 4.58 ERA.
In 2017, he had a record of 10-9 with a 4.98 ERA in 26 starts.
In 2018, Tomlin began the season as the Indians fourth starter, but after struggling through six starts, he was moved to the bullpen. Tomlin finished with a career-worst 6.14 ERA in 32 appearances, 9 starts. He elected free agency on October 29, 2018.

On November 6, 2021, the Braves declined the option on Tomlin's contract for the 2022 season, and became a free agent.

The Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP) is a protocol for storing and synchronizing general configuration and preference data. It was originally developed so that IMAP clients can easily access address books, user options, and other data on a central server and be kept in synch across all clients.
Two International ACAP Conferences were held, one in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, in 1997, and the other at Qualcomm Incorporated, San Diego, CA, USA, in February 1998.
ACAP grew to encompass several other areas, including bookmark management for web browsers—it's effectively a roaming protocol for Internet applications. ACAP is in use by at least four clients and three servers to varying degrees, but it has never achieved the popularity of Lightweight Directory Access Protocol or SyncML. It is a deceptively simple protocol, but the combination of three key features, hierarchical data, fine-grained access control, and "contexts" or saved searches with notification, has caused serious problems for server implementors.
Unlike LDAP, ACAP was designed for frequent writes, disconnected mode access (meaning clients can go offline and then resynchronize later), and so on. It also handles data inheritance, sometimes known as stacking, which provides easy creation of defaults.
The IETF ACAP Working Group ceased activity in April 2004, having released two RFCs, RFC 2244 ("ACAP — Application Configuration Access Protocol") and RFC 2245 ("Anonymous SASL Mechanism").

José Pascual de Zayas Chacón (1772–1827) was a Spanish military commander and deputy of the Cortes of Cádiz, representing La Habana.
As a leading Spanish Army figure in the Peninsular War, he is renowned for his great skill and daring, in particular for his initiative at the Battle of Albuera.
Military career
Born on Cuba, he was sent to mainland Spain to join the Asturias Regiment as a cadet in 1783. He first saw action, as a second lieutenant, in Oran, where he was wounded. He later had to be rescued from the rubble following the 1790 Oran earthquake.Seconded to the Army of Navarra, he saw action in several combats against French forces in the French Revolutionary Wars. Captured in July 1793, he was held prisoner until the following year.Following the signing of the Peace of Basel (1795), which signalled the end of the War of the Pyrenees, his unit was sent to escort the fleet headed for Veracruz.In 1800 he was wounded in the defence of Ferrol against the British attack on the city.In 1801 he was promoted to Captain in the Asturias Regiment.In 1805, General O’Farrill appointed him his aide de camp for the expedition to Etruria to escort the King and Queen of Etruria, the young Louis II and his mother, the regent, Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain back to Spain. Zayas remained in Florence until the end of 1807.
Peninsular War
Back in Spain, he was promoted to major in 1808 with orders to join the Princess's Regiment stationed in Denmark. However, the events leading up to the Dos de Mayo Uprising caught him in Madrid and his earlier collaboration with O’Farrill, now a member of the provisional Supreme Central Junta, enabled him to accompany Evaristo Pérez de Castro to Bayonne at the end of April 1808 with the mission of contacting members of the circle close to Fernando VII, then being held in captivity by Napoleon. The mission was aborted when, on crossing the border into France they were detained and sent back to Spain.Back in Madrid, Zayas was then ordered to La Coruña to oversee the embarking of troops bound for Buenos Aires, but he stopped in Valladolid to join the forces the Captain-general of Old Castile, García de la Cuesta, was recruiting there. Cuesta appointed Zayas Major-general of Infantry, and he fought at Cabezón (June 1808), the first battle of Spain's War of Independence, and a resounding defeat for the Spanish forces.
He was then sent on to La Coruña to ensure the Junta de Galicia's support for Blake's Army of Galicia. In mid-July, the combined forces of Blake and Cuesta were heavily defeated by a smaller French force under Marshal Bessières
at Medina de Rioseco. The defeat, due mainly to the lack of co-ordination between the two military commanders, was mitigated only by Zayas' strategic retreat towards Salamanca.The following August Zayas was promoted to colonel. With the Supreme Central Junta's lack of confidence in Cuesta, the Army of Castile was dissolved and what remained, including Zayas, was incorporated into the newly formed Army of the Centre, led by Castaños.Zayas was again on the losing side, the following November, at Tudela and, again, at Bubierca.In December, what was left of the Army of the Centre, now under the orders of the Duke of the Infantado, Pedro de Alcántara Álvarez de Toledo, regrouped in Cuenca, with Zayas participating at Tarancón, the first time these troops were able to score a major victory by repeling several French cavalry attacks.With Cuesta rehabilitated and appointed commander of the Army of Estremadura, he requested the services of Zayas who, at the beginning of January 1809, was given the command of the Jaen Regiment which fought at Mesas de Ibor (17 March 1809), and covered the Army of Estremadura's retreat from said battle.He was again wounded, this time at Medellín (March 1809), while leading an attack on an enemy battery.Promoted to brigadier the following month, Zayas was given command of the Army of Estremadura's vanguard, at the head of which he fought at Talavera (July 1809), and following which he was promoted to field marshal.The following September, the vanguard commanded by Zayas, by now considered the army's best unit, was incorporated into the Army of the Centre and would participate at Ocaña (November 1809) where, despite the routing of the Spanish forces, Zayas' vanguard was able to cover the disorderly retreat.In March 1810 Zayas managed to reach Cádiz, where he was able to concentrate on training his troops. On 15 August 1810, at the head of the 4th Division (Infantry) of the Army of the Centre stationed at Cadiz and Isla de León, Zayas had an effective force of 342 officers and 5,661 troops. By September, his infantry division had increased to an effective force of 530 officers and 7,376 troops.In early March 1811, Zayas participated at Barrosa, near Cadiz. By the beginning of May 1811, his division, now incorporated into the 4th Army, had been reduced to an effective force of 278 officers and 5,878 troops. Later that month, Zayas' division fought at Albuera under the orders of Blake, with Zayas' troops once again standing out as "fortunately for the Allies, their flank was now held by the best Spanish troops on the field: battalions that had been drilled and trained for months... by Zayas himself".In April 1811, Zayas was sent with his six thousand men to join Ballesteros in Estremadura. However, on landing at Moguer, Zayas was forced to retreat when faced by the seven battalions and two regiments of cavalry under General Maransin that Marshal Soult had sent to intercept them.Later that year, still under Blake's orders, his division was transferred to the Levante to participate in the defence of Valencia.He distinguished himself at Saguntum (October 1811), where he led a 2,550-strong division of Blake's 1st Army ("Expeditionary Corps") and in December at the defence of Mislata, but in January 1812, when the Siege of Valencia came to an end, with Blake capitulating to Marshal Suchet, Zayas and Blake were taken prisoner and interned at Vincennes.
Zayas was released in December 1813 in order to accompany the Duke of San Carlos in negotiating the return of Ferdinand VII before the Cortes. Finally, however, Zayas only accompanied the King on his return to Spain. He was promoted to Lieutenant general in March 1814.
Trienio Liberal
In July 1820 he was appointed deputy in the Cortes for La Habana and, at the end of that same month, captain general of Estremadura.On 7 July 1822, Zayas participated in the defence of the Royal Palace of Madrid during the failed coup d'etat carried out by the Absolutist forces and in 1823, at the head of the liberal government's troops in Madrid, refused to hand the city over to the Duke of Angoulême's Royalist troops, combatting them until the Duke himself arrived at the head of the so-called army of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis towards the end of May. Forced to flee, Zayas took refuge in Málaga.On 30 May 1823, Zayas was stripped of all his posts and honours and in November 1826, he was declared an "impure liberal and mason".Zayas died in Chiclana in 1827. A royal decree of 2 August 1840 restored all his previously held posts and honours.

Captured in July 1793, he was held prisoner until the following year.Following the signing of the Peace of Basel (1795), which signalled the end of the War of the Pyrenees, his unit was sent to escort the fleet headed for Veracruz.In 1800 he was wounded in the defence of Ferrol against the British attack on the city.In 1801 he was promoted to Captain in the Asturias Regiment.In 1805, General O’Farrill appointed him his aide de camp for the expedition to Etruria to escort the King and Queen of Etruria, the young Louis II and his mother, the regent, Infanta Maria Luisa of Spain back to Spain. Zayas remained in Florence until the end of 1807.
Peninsular War
Back in Spain, he was promoted to major in 1808 with orders to join the Princess's Regiment stationed in Denmark. However, the events leading up to the Dos de Mayo Uprising caught him in Madrid and his earlier collaboration with O’Farrill, now a member of the provisional Supreme Central Junta, enabled him to accompany Evaristo Pérez de Castro to Bayonne at the end of April 1808 with the mission of contacting members of the circle close to Fernando VII, then being held in captivity by Napoleon. The mission was aborted when, on crossing the border into France they were detained and sent back to Spain.Back in Madrid, Zayas was then ordered to La Coruña to oversee the embarking of troops bound for Buenos Aires, but he stopped in Valladolid to join the forces the Captain-general of Old Castile, García de la Cuesta, was recruiting there. Cuesta appointed Zayas Major-general of Infantry, and he fought at Cabezón (June 1808), the first battle of Spain's War of Independence, and a resounding defeat for the Spanish forces.
He was then sent on to La Coruña to ensure the Junta de Galicia's support for Blake's Army of Galicia. In mid-July, the combined forces of Blake and Cuesta were heavily defeated by a smaller French force under Marshal Bessières
at Medina de Rioseco. The defeat, due mainly to the lack of co-ordination between the two military commanders, was mitigated only by Zayas' strategic retreat towards Salamanca.The following August Zayas was promoted to colonel. With the Supreme Central Junta's lack of confidence in Cuesta, the Army of Castile was dissolved and what remained, including Zayas, was incorporated into the newly formed Army of the Centre, led by Castaños.Zayas was again on the losing side, the following November, at Tudela and, again, at Bubierca.In December, what was left of the Army of the Centre, now under the orders of the Duke of the Infantado, Pedro de Alcántara Álvarez de Toledo, regrouped in Cuenca, with Zayas participating at Tarancón, the first time these troops were able to score a major victory by repeling several French cavalry attacks.With Cuesta rehabilitated and appointed commander of the Army of Estremadura, he requested the services of Zayas who, at the beginning of January 1809, was given the command of the Jaen Regiment which fought at Mesas de Ibor (17 March 1809), and covered the Army of Estremadura's retreat from said battle.He was again wounded, this time at Medellín (March 1809), while leading an attack on an enemy battery.Promoted to brigadier the following month, Zayas was given command of the Army of Estremadura's vanguard, at the head of which he fought at Talavera (July 1809), and following which he was promoted to field marshal.The following September, the vanguard commanded by Zayas, by now considered the army's best unit, was incorporated into the Army of the Centre and would participate at Ocaña (November 1809) where, despite the routing of the Spanish forces, Zayas' vanguard was able to cover the disorderly retreat.In March 1810 Zayas managed to reach Cádiz, where he was able to concentrate on training his troops. On 15 August 1810, at the head of the 4th Division (Infantry) of the Army of the Centre stationed at Cadiz and Isla de León, Zayas had an effective force of 342 officers and 5,661 troops. By September, his infantry division had increased to an effective force of 530 officers and 7,376 troops.In early March 1811, Zayas participated at Barrosa, near Cadiz. By the beginning of May 1811, his division, now incorporated into the 4th Army, had been reduced to an effective force of 278 officers and 5,878 troops. Later that month, Zayas' division fought at Albuera under the orders of Blake, with Zayas' troops once again standing out as "fortunately for the Allies, their flank was now held by the best Spanish troops on the field: battalions that had been drilled and trained for months... by Zayas himself".In April 1811, Zayas was sent with his six thousand men to join Ballesteros in Estremadura. However, on landing at Moguer, Zayas was forced to retreat when faced by the seven battalions and two regiments of cavalry under General Maransin that Marshal Soult had sent to intercept them.Later that year, still under Blake's orders, his division was transferred to the Levante to participate in the defence of Valencia.He distinguished himself at Saguntum (October 1811), where he led a 2,550-strong division of Blake's 1st Army ("Expeditionary Corps") and in December at the defence of Mislata, but in January 1812, when the Siege of Valencia came to an end, with Blake capitulating to Marshal Suchet, Zayas and Blake were taken prisoner and interned at Vincennes.
Zayas was released in December 1813 in order to accompany the Duke of San Carlos in negotiating the return of Ferdinand VII before the Cortes. Finally, however, Zayas only accompanied the King on his return to Spain. He was promoted to Lieutenant general in March 1814.
Trienio Liberal
In July 1820 he was appointed deputy in the Cortes for La Habana and, at the end of that same month, captain general of Estremadura.On 7 July 1822, Zayas participated in the defence of the Royal Palace of Madrid during the failed coup d'etat carried out by the Absolutist forces and in 1823, at the head of the liberal government's troops in Madrid, refused to hand the city over to the Duke of Angoulême's Royalist troops, combatting them until the Duke himself arrived at the head of the so-called army of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis towards the end of May. Forced to flee, Zayas took refuge in Málaga.On 30 May 1823, Zayas was stripped of all his posts and honours and in November 1826, he was declared an "impure liberal and mason".Zayas died in Chiclana in 1827. A royal decree of 2 August 1840 restored all his previously held posts and honours.

With the Supreme Central Junta's lack of confidence in Cuesta, the Army of Castile was dissolved and what remained, including Zayas, was incorporated into the newly formed Army of the Centre, led by Castaños.Zayas was again on the losing side, the following November, at Tudela and, again, at Bubierca.In December, what was left of the Army of the Centre, now under the orders of the Duke of the Infantado, Pedro de Alcántara Álvarez de Toledo, regrouped in Cuenca, with Zayas participating at Tarancón, the first time these troops were able to score a major victory by repeling several French cavalry attacks.With Cuesta rehabilitated and appointed commander of the Army of Estremadura, he requested the services of Zayas who, at the beginning of January 1809, was given the command of the Jaen Regiment which fought at Mesas de Ibor (17 March 1809), and covered the Army of Estremadura's retreat from said battle.He was again wounded, this time at Medellín (March 1809), while leading an attack on an enemy battery.Promoted to brigadier the following month, Zayas was given command of the Army of Estremadura's vanguard, at the head of which he fought at Talavera (July 1809), and following which he was promoted to field marshal.The following September, the vanguard commanded by Zayas, by now considered the army's best unit, was incorporated into the Army of the Centre and would participate at Ocaña (November 1809) where, despite the routing of the Spanish forces, Zayas' vanguard was able to cover the disorderly retreat.In March 1810 Zayas managed to reach Cádiz, where he was able to concentrate on training his troops. On 15 August 1810, at the head of the 4th Division (Infantry) of the Army of the Centre stationed at Cadiz and Isla de León, Zayas had an effective force of 342 officers and 5,661 troops. By September, his infantry division had increased to an effective force of 530 officers and 7,376 troops.In early March 1811, Zayas participated at Barrosa, near Cadiz. By the beginning of May 1811, his division, now incorporated into the 4th Army, had been reduced to an effective force of 278 officers and 5,878 troops. Later that month, Zayas' division fought at Albuera under the orders of Blake, with Zayas' troops once again standing out as "fortunately for the Allies, their flank was now held by the best Spanish troops on the field: battalions that had been drilled and trained for months... by Zayas himself".In April 1811, Zayas was sent with his six thousand men to join Ballesteros in Estremadura. However, on landing at Moguer, Zayas was forced to retreat when faced by the seven battalions and two regiments of cavalry under General Maransin that Marshal Soult had sent to intercept them.Later that year, still under Blake's orders, his division was transferred to the Levante to participate in the defence of Valencia.He distinguished himself at Saguntum (October 1811), where he led a 2,550-strong division of Blake's 1st Army ("Expeditionary Corps") and in December at the defence of Mislata, but in January 1812, when the Siege of Valencia came to an end, with Blake capitulating to Marshal Suchet, Zayas and Blake were taken prisoner and interned at Vincennes.
Zayas was released in December 1813 in order to accompany the Duke of San Carlos in negotiating the return of Ferdinand VII before the Cortes. Finally, however, Zayas only accompanied the King on his return to Spain. He was promoted to Lieutenant general in March 1814.
Trienio Liberal
In July 1820 he was appointed deputy in the Cortes for La Habana and, at the end of that same month, captain general of Estremadura.On 7 July 1822, Zayas participated in the defence of the Royal Palace of Madrid during the failed coup d'etat carried out by the Absolutist forces and in 1823, at the head of the liberal government's troops in Madrid, refused to hand the city over to the Duke of Angoulême's Royalist troops, combatting them until the Duke himself arrived at the head of the so-called army of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis towards the end of May. Forced to flee, Zayas took refuge in Málaga.On 30 May 1823, Zayas was stripped of all his posts and honours and in November 1826, he was declared an "impure liberal and mason".Zayas died in Chiclana in 1827. A royal decree of 2 August 1840 restored all his previously held posts and honours.

Academics
Fredericksburg Academy is divided into three divisions:
Upper School (9-12)
Middle School (6-8)

Exhibit
Fredericksburg Academy is the only school in the Fredericksburg area that requires students to complete a senior project as a requirement for graduation. Starting their Freshman year, each student selects a topic of interest which must be approved by their Exhibit mentor. After their topic is approved, students then move on to their learning activity. The Exhibit learning activity is entirely made up by the student, but for a student to earn credit, they must shadow/learn from a master of their chosen topic for at least 30 hours. After their learning activity is completed, each student then applies what they learned in the form of their application project. Once students complete all parts of the exhibit process, they present their project to their peers, teachers, and mentors in the Donald and Susan Reed Theater. If a topic does not allow for a final application (ex: Medical) students can substitute their final application for a second learning activity.

Damien Francis Broderick (born 22 April 1944) is an Australian science fiction and popular science writer and editor of some 74 books. His science fiction novel The Dreaming Dragons (1980) introduced the trope of the generation time machine, his The Judas Mandala (1982) contains the first appearance of the term "virtual reality" in science fiction, and his 1997 popular science book The Spike was the first to investigate the technological singularity in detail.
Life
Broderick holds a Ph.D. in Literary Studies from Deakin University, Australia, with a dissertation (Frozen Music) comparing the semiotics of scientific, literary, and science fictional textuality. He was for several years a Senior Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne.Broderick lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, tax attorney Barbara Lamar. He was the founding science fiction editor of the Australian popular science magazine Cosmos from mid-2005 to December 2010.
Career
Five of Broderick's books have won Ditmar Awards (including the non-SF Transmitters, which was given a special award); the first, The Dreaming Dragons, was runner-up for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. He has also won the Aurealis award four times. In November 2003, Broderick was awarded a grant for 2004–05 by the Australia Council to write fiction exploring technological singularity. In 2005 he received the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. In 2010, he tied for second place in the juried Theodore Sturgeon Award for best sf short story of 2009, and at the World Science Fiction Convention received the A. Bertram Chandler Memorial Award for 2010.Broderick's best-known works as a futurist and science writer are The Spike (1997; revised 2001), a nonfiction book about the technological singularity; The Last Mortal Generation (1999) on the prospect of radically extended youthful longevity; and Outside the Gates of Science, on the scientific evidence for some anomalous or paranormal phenomena (2007).
His recent critical studies, x, y, z, t: Dimensions of Science Fiction (2004), Ferocious Minds: Polymathy and the New Enlightenment (2005), and Unleashing the Strange (2009) were released by a small US press, Wildside. Several of his books feature cover art by Swedish transhumanist Anders Sandberg, including Earth is but a Star (2001), Broderick's anthology of science fiction stories, and thematically related critical discussions, concerned with the far future. In 2012, with Paul Di Filippo, he published Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985–2010, which was short-listed for a 2013 Locus Award.His most recent novels are the diptych Godplayers (2005) (selected in the annual Recommended Reading List from Locus), and K-Machines (2006) (winner of the 2007 Aurealis Award for year's best SF novel), and, with Rory Barnes, a comic noir crime novel, I'm Dying Here: A Comedy of Bad Manners (2009), first released in very limited numbers as I Suppose a Root's Out of the Question? (2007). With his wife, Barbara Lamar, he wrote the near-future sf thriller Post Mortal Syndrome, serialised online by Cosmos magazine (2007). He edited a book of original essays on the far future, Year Million (2008), which was favorably reviewed by Nature, the Wall Street Journal, etc. In 2010 Climbing Mount Implausible, a collection of mostly early stories, interspersed with memoir commentary, appeared from Borgo/Wildside Books, as did (in 2011) Embarrass My Dog, a collection of mostly early articles on sex, religion, and politics, framed by commentary recalling life in the 1960s and 1970s.
Broderick has also written radio plays, both adaptations of his own stories (including a 90-minute version of Transmitters) and original works. His commissioned drama Schrödinger's Dog, first broadcast in 1995, was Australia's entry in the Prix Italia; and his novella adaptation of the radio play, published the following year, was selected for Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthology for that year. His work has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Russian.
In 2009, he returned to short fiction, with five stories published in Asimov's magazine, one online at Tor.com, and several others elsewhere. Two of these stories were selected for three 2010 Year's Best anthologies. Another, "Under the Moons of Venus," appeared in five 2011 Year's Best anthologies. The novelette "Walls of Flesh, Bars of Bone", co-written with Broderick's wife Barbara Lamar, appeared in the 2010 anthology Engineering Infinity, edited by Jonathan Strahan. "The Beancounter's Cat" was selected in Gardner Dozois' 2012 Year's Best volume. "This Wind Blowing and this Tide" was reprinted online in Clarkesworld 100 in 2015."Quicken", a 2013 commissioned sequel to Grand Master Robert Silverberg's 1974 novella "Born with the Dead", appeared with the original work as Beyond the Doors of Death. This was selected to close Gardner Dozois' 2014 Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy anthology. In the same year, a comic fantasy "--And Your Little Dog, Too", written with Rory Barnes, appeared in the short-lived Omni Reboot.
Broderick's first horror fiction, "The Unheimlich Maneuver", opened Luis Ortiz's original anthology The Monkey's Other Paw: Revised Classic Stories of Dread and the Dead (2014).

Damien Francis Broderick (born 22 April 1944) is an Australian science fiction and popular science writer and editor of some 74 books. His science fiction novel The Dreaming Dragons (1980) introduced the trope of the generation time machine, his The Judas Mandala (1982) contains the first appearance of the term "virtual reality" in science fiction, and his 1997 popular science book The Spike was the first to investigate the technological singularity in detail.
Life
Broderick holds a Ph.D. in Literary Studies from Deakin University, Australia, with a dissertation (Frozen Music) comparing the semiotics of scientific, literary, and science fictional textuality. He was for several years a Senior Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne.Broderick lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, tax attorney Barbara Lamar. He was the founding science fiction editor of the Australian popular science magazine Cosmos from mid-2005 to December 2010.
Career
Five of Broderick's books have won Ditmar Awards (including the non-SF Transmitters, which was given a special award); the first, The Dreaming Dragons, was runner-up for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. He has also won the Aurealis award four times. In November 2003, Broderick was awarded a grant for 2004–05 by the Australia Council to write fiction exploring technological singularity. In 2005 he received the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. In 2010, he tied for second place in the juried Theodore Sturgeon Award for best sf short story of 2009, and at the World Science Fiction Convention received the A. Bertram Chandler Memorial Award for 2010.Broderick's best-known works as a futurist and science writer are The Spike (1997; revised 2001), a nonfiction book about the technological singularity; The Last Mortal Generation (1999) on the prospect of radically extended youthful longevity; and Outside the Gates of Science, on the scientific evidence for some anomalous or paranormal phenomena (2007).
His recent critical studies, x, y, z, t: Dimensions of Science Fiction (2004), Ferocious Minds: Polymathy and the New Enlightenment (2005), and Unleashing the Strange (2009) were released by a small US press, Wildside. Several of his books feature cover art by Swedish transhumanist Anders Sandberg, including Earth is but a Star (2001), Broderick's anthology of science fiction stories, and thematically related critical discussions, concerned with the far future. In 2012, with Paul Di Filippo, he published Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985–2010, which was short-listed for a 2013 Locus Award.His most recent novels are the diptych Godplayers (2005) (selected in the annual Recommended Reading List from Locus), and K-Machines (2006) (winner of the 2007 Aurealis Award for year's best SF novel), and, with Rory Barnes, a comic noir crime novel, I'm Dying Here: A Comedy of Bad Manners (2009), first released in very limited numbers as I Suppose a Root's Out of the Question? (2007). With his wife, Barbara Lamar, he wrote the near-future sf thriller Post Mortal Syndrome, serialised online by Cosmos magazine (2007). He edited a book of original essays on the far future, Year Million (2008), which was favorably reviewed by Nature, the Wall Street Journal, etc. In 2010 Climbing Mount Implausible, a collection of mostly early stories, interspersed with memoir commentary, appeared from Borgo/Wildside Books, as did (in 2011) Embarrass My Dog, a collection of mostly early articles on sex, religion, and politics, framed by commentary recalling life in the 1960s and 1970s.
Broderick has also written radio plays, both adaptations of his own stories (including a 90-minute version of Transmitters) and original works. His commissioned drama Schrödinger's Dog, first broadcast in 1995, was Australia's entry in the Prix Italia; and his novella adaptation of the radio play, published the following year, was selected for Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthology for that year. His work has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Russian.
In 2009, he returned to short fiction, with five stories published in Asimov's magazine, one online at Tor.com, and several others elsewhere. Two of these stories were selected for three 2010 Year's Best anthologies. Another, "Under the Moons of Venus," appeared in five 2011 Year's Best anthologies. The novelette "Walls of Flesh, Bars of Bone", co-written with Broderick's wife Barbara Lamar, appeared in the 2010 anthology Engineering Infinity, edited by Jonathan Strahan. "The Beancounter's Cat" was selected in Gardner Dozois' 2012 Year's Best volume. "This Wind Blowing and this Tide" was reprinted online in Clarkesworld 100 in 2015."Quicken", a 2013 commissioned sequel to Grand Master Robert Silverberg's 1974 novella "Born with the Dead", appeared with the original work as Beyond the Doors of Death. This was selected to close Gardner Dozois' 2014 Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy anthology. In the same year, a comic fantasy "--And Your Little Dog, Too", written with Rory Barnes, appeared in the short-lived Omni Reboot.
Broderick's first horror fiction, "The Unheimlich Maneuver", opened Luis Ortiz's original anthology The Monkey's Other Paw: Revised Classic Stories of Dread and the Dead (2014).

In November 2003, Broderick was awarded a grant for 2004–05 by the Australia Council to write fiction exploring technological singularity. In 2005 he received the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. In 2010, he tied for second place in the juried Theodore Sturgeon Award for best sf short story of 2009, and at the World Science Fiction Convention received the A. Bertram Chandler Memorial Award for 2010.Broderick's best-known works as a futurist and science writer are The Spike (1997; revised 2001), a nonfiction book about the technological singularity; The Last Mortal Generation (1999) on the prospect of radically extended youthful longevity; and Outside the Gates of Science, on the scientific evidence for some anomalous or paranormal phenomena (2007).
His recent critical studies, x, y, z, t: Dimensions of Science Fiction (2004), Ferocious Minds: Polymathy and the New Enlightenment (2005), and Unleashing the Strange (2009) were released by a small US press, Wildside. Several of his books feature cover art by Swedish transhumanist Anders Sandberg, including Earth is but a Star (2001), Broderick's anthology of science fiction stories, and thematically related critical discussions, concerned with the far future. In 2012, with Paul Di Filippo, he published Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985–2010, which was short-listed for a 2013 Locus Award.His most recent novels are the diptych Godplayers (2005) (selected in the annual Recommended Reading List from Locus), and K-Machines (2006) (winner of the 2007 Aurealis Award for year's best SF novel), and, with Rory Barnes, a comic noir crime novel, I'm Dying Here: A Comedy of Bad Manners (2009), first released in very limited numbers as I Suppose a Root's Out of the Question? (2007). With his wife, Barbara Lamar, he wrote the near-future sf thriller Post Mortal Syndrome, serialised online by Cosmos magazine (2007). He edited a book of original essays on the far future, Year Million (2008), which was favorably reviewed by Nature, the Wall Street Journal, etc. In 2010 Climbing Mount Implausible, a collection of mostly early stories, interspersed with memoir commentary, appeared from Borgo/Wildside Books, as did (in 2011) Embarrass My Dog, a collection of mostly early articles on sex, religion, and politics, framed by commentary recalling life in the 1960s and 1970s.
Broderick has also written radio plays, both adaptations of his own stories (including a 90-minute version of Transmitters) and original works. His commissioned drama Schrödinger's Dog, first broadcast in 1995, was Australia's entry in the Prix Italia; and his novella adaptation of the radio play, published the following year, was selected for Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthology for that year. His work has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Russian.
In 2009, he returned to short fiction, with five stories published in Asimov's magazine, one online at Tor.com, and several others elsewhere. Two of these stories were selected for three 2010 Year's Best anthologies. Another, "Under the Moons of Venus," appeared in five 2011 Year's Best anthologies. The novelette "Walls of Flesh, Bars of Bone", co-written with Broderick's wife Barbara Lamar, appeared in the 2010 anthology Engineering Infinity, edited by Jonathan Strahan. "The Beancounter's Cat" was selected in Gardner Dozois' 2012 Year's Best volume. "This Wind Blowing and this Tide" was reprinted online in Clarkesworld 100 in 2015."Quicken", a 2013 commissioned sequel to Grand Master Robert Silverberg's 1974 novella "Born with the Dead", appeared with the original work as Beyond the Doors of Death. This was selected to close Gardner Dozois' 2014 Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy anthology. In the same year, a comic fantasy "--And Your Little Dog, Too", written with Rory Barnes, appeared in the short-lived Omni Reboot.
Broderick's first horror fiction, "The Unheimlich Maneuver", opened Luis Ortiz's original anthology The Monkey's Other Paw: Revised Classic Stories of Dread and the Dead (2014).

Damien Francis Broderick (born 22 April 1944) is an Australian science fiction and popular science writer and editor of some 74 books. His science fiction novel The Dreaming Dragons (1980) introduced the trope of the generation time machine, his The Judas Mandala (1982) contains the first appearance of the term "virtual reality" in science fiction, and his 1997 popular science book The Spike was the first to investigate the technological singularity in detail.
Life
Broderick holds a Ph.D. in Literary Studies from Deakin University, Australia, with a dissertation (Frozen Music) comparing the semiotics of scientific, literary, and science fictional textuality. He was for several years a Senior Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne.Broderick lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, tax attorney Barbara Lamar. He was the founding science fiction editor of the Australian popular science magazine Cosmos from mid-2005 to December 2010.

He edited a book of original essays on the far future, Year Million (2008), which was favorably reviewed by Nature, the Wall Street Journal, etc. In 2010 Climbing Mount Implausible, a collection of mostly early stories, interspersed with memoir commentary, appeared from Borgo/Wildside Books, as did (in 2011) Embarrass My Dog, a collection of mostly early articles on sex, religion, and politics, framed by commentary recalling life in the 1960s and 1970s.
Broderick has also written radio plays, both adaptations of his own stories (including a 90-minute version of Transmitters) and original works. His commissioned drama Schrödinger's Dog, first broadcast in 1995, was Australia's entry in the Prix Italia; and his novella adaptation of the radio play, published the following year, was selected for Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthology for that year. His work has been translated into French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Lithuanian, and Russian.
In 2009, he returned to short fiction, with five stories published in Asimov's magazine, one online at Tor.com, and several others elsewhere. Two of these stories were selected for three 2010 Year's Best anthologies. Another, "Under the Moons of Venus," appeared in five 2011 Year's Best anthologies. The novelette "Walls of Flesh, Bars of Bone", co-written with Broderick's wife Barbara Lamar, appeared in the 2010 anthology Engineering Infinity, edited by Jonathan Strahan. "The Beancounter's Cat" was selected in Gardner Dozois' 2012 Year's Best volume. "This Wind Blowing and this Tide" was reprinted online in Clarkesworld 100 in 2015."Quicken", a 2013 commissioned sequel to Grand Master Robert Silverberg's 1974 novella "Born with the Dead", appeared with the original work as Beyond the Doors of Death. This was selected to close Gardner Dozois' 2014 Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy anthology. In the same year, a comic fantasy "--And Your Little Dog, Too", written with Rory Barnes, appeared in the short-lived Omni Reboot.
Broderick's first horror fiction, "The Unheimlich Maneuver", opened Luis Ortiz's original anthology The Monkey's Other Paw: Revised Classic Stories of Dread and the Dead (2014).

Damien Francis Broderick (born 22 April 1944) is an Australian science fiction and popular science writer and editor of some 74 books. His science fiction novel The Dreaming Dragons (1980) introduced the trope of the generation time machine, his The Judas Mandala (1982) contains the first appearance of the term "virtual reality" in science fiction, and his 1997 popular science book The Spike was the first to investigate the technological singularity in detail.
Life
Broderick holds a Ph.D. in Literary Studies from Deakin University, Australia, with a dissertation (Frozen Music) comparing the semiotics of scientific, literary, and science fictional textuality. He was for several years a Senior Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne.Broderick lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife, tax attorney Barbara Lamar. He was the founding science fiction editor of the Australian popular science magazine Cosmos from mid-2005 to December 2010.
Career
Five of Broderick's books have won Ditmar Awards (including the non-SF Transmitters, which was given a special award); the first, The Dreaming Dragons, was runner-up for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. He has also won the Aurealis award four times. In November 2003, Broderick was awarded a grant for 2004–05 by the Australia Council to write fiction exploring technological singularity. In 2005 he received the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts. In 2010, he tied for second place in the juried Theodore Sturgeon Award for best sf short story of 2009, and at the World Science Fiction Convention received the A. Bertram Chandler Memorial Award for 2010.Broderick's best-known works as a futurist and science writer are The Spike (1997; revised 2001), a nonfiction book about the technological singularity; The Last Mortal Generation (1999) on the prospect of radically extended youthful longevity; and Outside the Gates of Science, on the scientific evidence for some anomalous or paranormal phenomena (2007).
His recent critical studies, x, y, z, t: Dimensions of Science Fiction (2004), Ferocious Minds: Polymathy and the New Enlightenment (2005), and Unleashing the Strange (2009) were released by a small US press, Wildside. Several of his books feature cover art by Swedish transhumanist Anders Sandberg, including Earth is but a Star (2001), Broderick's anthology of science fiction stories, and thematically related critical discussions, concerned with the far future. In 2012, with Paul Di Filippo, he published Science Fiction: The 101 Best Novels, 1985–2010, which was short-listed for a 2013 Locus Award.His most recent novels are the diptych Godplayers (2005) (selected in the annual Recommended Reading List from Locus), and K-Machines (2006) (winner of the 2007 Aurealis Award for year's best SF novel), and, with Rory Barnes, a comic noir crime novel, I'm Dying Here: A Comedy of Bad Manners (2009), first released in very limited numbers as I Suppose a Root's Out of the Question?

KBLN-TV (channel 30) is a religious television station licensed to Grants Pass, Oregon, United States, serving the Medford area as an affiliate of the Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN). Owned by Better Life Television, the station maintains studios on Northeast 9th Street in Grants Pass and a transmitter on Grants Pass Peak.
KBLN-TV is seen in five counties in Southern Oregon, plus Siskiyou County in northern California. It is a viewer-supported non-profit outreach organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, with a 501(c)(3) status.
Technical information
Subchannels
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
Analog-to-digital conversion
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997, the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, at the end of digital TV conversion, KBLN-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 30, and "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation UHF channel 30.
Translators
Expansion
In 2007, KBLN announced plans to purchase a full power station in Roseburg and a low-powered repeater station in Eugene, to expand coverage to more than 500,000 viewers in the Eugene market. In 2009, the stations, KTVC and Eugene translator KAMK-LP, were sold to KBLN during a bankruptcy auction for Equity Media Holdings. Plans for this expansion were announced by Better Life before Equity's economic woes came to light.
In 2009, according to its website, Better Life "negotiated and signed an agreement to purchase a low power digital station in the Portland area." However, the site then failed to mention which station it was intending to purchase. It was not clear if the station was in talks with a particular station, or with many stations in the region. On March 23, 2010, the FCC granted Consent to Assignment for KEVE-LP channel 36 from Fiori Media, Inc. to the Southern Oregon Conference Assn. of Seventh-Day Adventists. KEVE-LP, at the time licensed to Longview, Washington, held a construction permit to move to the Portland area, while changing its city of license to Vancouver, Washington. The station would sign on October 24, 2010 as KEVE-LD.
In 2011, Better Life acquired a low-powered station in Redding, California, K33HH channel 33, from the Northern California Conference Association of Seventh-Day Adventists; previously, the translator carried 3ABN programming directly via satellite. Also that year, Better Life leased a subchannel on FMI Media's KNRC-LD in Reno, Nevada, where it can be seen on subchannel 14.5.
A chain of low-power stations owned by One Ministries, Inc. (led by KKPM-CD) simulcast KBLN's Better Life TV programming throughout Northern California.

In cryptography, the ElGamal encryption system is an asymmetric key encryption algorithm for public-key cryptography which is based on the Diffie–Hellman key exchange. It was described by Taher Elgamal in 1985. ElGamal encryption is used in the free GNU Privacy Guard software, recent versions of PGP, and other cryptosystems. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a variant of the ElGamal signature scheme, which should not be confused with ElGamal encryption.
ElGamal encryption can be defined over any cyclic group
G
{\displaystyle G}
, like multiplicative group of integers modulo n. Its security depends upon the difficulty of a certain problem in
G
{\displaystyle G}
related to computing discrete logarithms.
The algorithm
ElGamal encryption consists of three components: the key generator, the encryption algorithm, and the decryption algorithm.
Key generation
The first party, Alice, generates a key pair as follows:
Generate an efficient description of a cyclic group
G
{\displaystyle G\,}
of order
q
{\displaystyle q\,}
with generator
g
{\displaystyle g}
. Let
e
{\displaystyle e}
represent the identity element of
G
{\displaystyle G}
.
Choose an integer
x
{\displaystyle x}
randomly from
{
1
,
…
,
q
−
1
}
{\displaystyle \{1,\ldots ,q-1\}}
.
Compute
h
:=
g
x
{\displaystyle h:=g^{x}}
.
The public key consists of the values
(
G
,
q
,
g
,
h
)
{\displaystyle (G,q,g,h)}
. Alice publishes this public key and retains
x
{\displaystyle x}
as her private key, which must be kept secret.
Encryption
A second party, Bob, encrypts a message
M
{\displaystyle M}
to Alice under her public key
(
G
,
q
,
g
,
h
)
{\displaystyle (G,q,g,h)}
as follows:
Map the message
M
{\displaystyle M}
to an element
m
{\displaystyle m}
of
G
{\displaystyle G}
using a reversible mapping function.
Choose an integer
y
{\displaystyle y}
randomly from
{
1
,
…
,
q
−
1
}
{\displaystyle \{1,\ldots ,q-1\}}
.
Compute
s
:=
h
y
{\displaystyle s:=h^{y}}
. This is called the shared secret.
Compute
c
1
:=
g
y
{\displaystyle c_{1}:=g^{y}}
.
Compute
c
2
:=
m
⋅
s
{\displaystyle c_{2}:=m\cdot s}
.
Bob sends the ciphertext
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
to Alice.Note that if one knows both the ciphertext
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
and the plaintext
m
{\displaystyle m}
, one can easily find the shared secret
s
{\displaystyle s}
, since
c
2
⋅
m
−
1
=
s
{\displaystyle c_{2}\cdot m^{-1}=s}
. Therefore, a new
y
{\displaystyle y}
and hence a new
s
{\displaystyle s}
is generated for every message to improve security. For this reason,
y
{\displaystyle y}
is also called an ephemeral key.
Decryption
Alice decrypts a ciphertext
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
with her private key
x
{\displaystyle x}
as follows:
Compute
s
:=
c
1
x
{\displaystyle s:=c_{1}^{x}}
. Since
c
1
=
g
y
{\displaystyle c_{1}=g^{y}}
,
c
1
x
=
g
x
y
=
h
y
{\displaystyle c_{1}^{x}=g^{xy}=h^{y}}
, and thus it is the same shared secret that was used by Bob in encryption.
Compute
s
−
1
{\displaystyle s^{-1}}
, the inverse of
s
{\displaystyle s}
in the group
G
{\displaystyle G}
. This can be computed in one of several ways. If
G
{\displaystyle G}
is a subgroup of a multiplicative group of integers modulo
n
{\displaystyle n}
, where
n
{\displaystyle n}
is prime, the modular multiplicative inverse can be computed using the extended Euclidean algorithm. An alternative is to compute
s
−
1
{\displaystyle s^{-1}}
as
c
1
q
−
x
{\displaystyle c_{1}^{q-x}}
. This is the inverse of
s
{\displaystyle s}
because of Lagrange's theorem, since
s

q

x

g
(

y

)
y
=
e
y
=
e
{\displaystyle s\cdot c_{1}^{q-x}=g^{xy}\cdot g^{(q-x)y}=(g^{q})^{y}=e^{y}=e}
.
Compute
m
:=
c
2
⋅
s
−
1
{\displaystyle m:=c_{2}\cdot s^{-1}}
. This calculation produces the original message
m
{\displaystyle m}
, because
c
2
=
m
⋅
s
{\displaystyle c_{2}=m\cdot s}
; hence
c
2
⋅
s
−
1
=
(
m
⋅
s
)
⋅
s
−
1
=
m
⋅
e
=
m
{\displaystyle c_{2}\cdot s^{-1}=(m\cdot s)\cdot s^{-1}=m\cdot e=m}
.
Map
m
{\displaystyle m}
back to the plaintext message
M
{\displaystyle M}
.
Practical use
Like most public key systems, the ElGamal cryptosystem is usually used as part of a hybrid cryptosystem, where the message itself is encrypted using a symmetric cryptosystem, and ElGamal is then used to encrypt only the symmetric key. This is because asymmetric cryptosystems like ElGamal are usually slower than symmetric ones for the same level of security, so it is faster to encrypt the message, which can be arbitrarily large, with a symmetric cipher, and then use ElGamal only to encrypt the symmetric key, which usually is quite small compared to the size of the message.
Security
The security of the ElGamal scheme depends on the properties of the underlying group
G
{\displaystyle G}
as well as any padding scheme used on the messages. If the computational Diffie–Hellman assumption (CDH) holds in the underlying cyclic group
G
{\displaystyle G}
, then the encryption function is one-way.If the decisional Diffie–Hellman assumption (DDH) holds in
G
{\displaystyle G}
, then
ElGamal achieves semantic security. Semantic security is not implied by the computational Diffie–Hellman assumption alone. See Decisional Diffie–Hellman assumption for a discussion of groups where the assumption is believed to hold.
ElGamal encryption is unconditionally malleable, and therefore is not secure under chosen ciphertext attack. For example, given an encryption
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
of some (possibly unknown) message
m
{\displaystyle m}
, one can easily construct a valid encryption
(
c
1
,
2
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},2c_{2})}
of the message
2
m
{\displaystyle 2m}
.
To achieve chosen-ciphertext security, the scheme must be further modified, or an appropriate padding scheme must be used. Depending on the modification, the DDH assumption may or may not be necessary.
Other schemes related to ElGamal which achieve security against chosen ciphertext attacks have also been proposed. The Cramer–Shoup cryptosystem is secure under chosen ciphertext attack assuming DDH holds for
G
{\displaystyle G}
. Its proof does not use the random oracle model. Another proposed scheme is DHIES, whose proof requires an assumption that is stronger than the DDH assumption.
Efficiency
ElGamal encryption is probabilistic, meaning that a single plaintext can be encrypted to many possible ciphertexts, with the consequence that a general ElGamal encryption produces a 1:2 expansion in size from plaintext to ciphertext.
Encryption under ElGamal requires two exponentiations; however, these exponentiations are independent of the message and can be computed ahead of time if needed. Decryption requires one exponentiation and one computation of a group inverse, which can, however, be easily combined into just one exponentiation.

Practical use
Like most public key systems, the ElGamal cryptosystem is usually used as part of a hybrid cryptosystem, where the message itself is encrypted using a symmetric cryptosystem, and ElGamal is then used to encrypt only the symmetric key. This is because asymmetric cryptosystems like ElGamal are usually slower than symmetric ones for the same level of security, so it is faster to encrypt the message, which can be arbitrarily large, with a symmetric cipher, and then use ElGamal only to encrypt the symmetric key, which usually is quite small compared to the size of the message.
Security
The security of the ElGamal scheme depends on the properties of the underlying group
G
{\displaystyle G}
as well as any padding scheme used on the messages. If the computational Diffie–Hellman assumption (CDH) holds in the underlying cyclic group
G
{\displaystyle G}
, then the encryption function is one-way.If the decisional Diffie–Hellman assumption (DDH) holds in
G
{\displaystyle G}
, then
ElGamal achieves semantic security. Semantic security is not implied by the computational Diffie–Hellman assumption alone. See Decisional Diffie–Hellman assumption for a discussion of groups where the assumption is believed to hold.
ElGamal encryption is unconditionally malleable, and therefore is not secure under chosen ciphertext attack. For example, given an encryption
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
of some (possibly unknown) message
m
{\displaystyle m}
, one can easily construct a valid encryption
(
c
1
,
2
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},2c_{2})}
of the message
2
m
{\displaystyle 2m}
.
To achieve chosen-ciphertext security, the scheme must be further modified, or an appropriate padding scheme must be used. Depending on the modification, the DDH assumption may or may not be necessary.
Other schemes related to ElGamal which achieve security against chosen ciphertext attacks have also been proposed. The Cramer–Shoup cryptosystem is secure under chosen ciphertext attack assuming DDH holds for
G
{\displaystyle G}
. Its proof does not use the random oracle model. Another proposed scheme is DHIES, whose proof requires an assumption that is stronger than the DDH assumption.
Efficiency
ElGamal encryption is probabilistic, meaning that a single plaintext can be encrypted to many possible ciphertexts, with the consequence that a general ElGamal encryption produces a 1:2 expansion in size from plaintext to ciphertext.
Encryption under ElGamal requires two exponentiations; however, these exponentiations are independent of the message and can be computed ahead of time if needed. Decryption requires one exponentiation and one computation of a group inverse, which can, however, be easily combined into just one exponentiation.

In cryptography, the ElGamal encryption system is an asymmetric key encryption algorithm for public-key cryptography which is based on the Diffie–Hellman key exchange. It was described by Taher Elgamal in 1985. ElGamal encryption is used in the free GNU Privacy Guard software, recent versions of PGP, and other cryptosystems. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a variant of the ElGamal signature scheme, which should not be confused with ElGamal encryption.
ElGamal encryption can be defined over any cyclic group
G
{\displaystyle G}
, like multiplicative group of integers modulo n. Its security depends upon the difficulty of a certain problem in
G
{\displaystyle G}
related to computing discrete logarithms.
The algorithm
ElGamal encryption consists of three components: the key generator, the encryption algorithm, and the decryption algorithm.
Key generation
The first party, Alice, generates a key pair as follows:
Generate an efficient description of a cyclic group
G
{\displaystyle G\,}
of order
q
{\displaystyle q\,}
with generator
g
{\displaystyle g}
. Let
e
{\displaystyle e}
represent the identity element of
G
{\displaystyle G}
.
Choose an integer
x
{\displaystyle x}
randomly from
{
1
,
…
,
q
−
1
}
{\displaystyle \{1,\ldots ,q-1\}}
.
Compute
h
:=
g
x
{\displaystyle h:=g^{x}}
.
The public key consists of the values
(
G
,
q
,
g
,
h
)
{\displaystyle (G,q,g,h)}
. Alice publishes this public key and retains
x
{\displaystyle x}
as her private key, which must be kept secret.
Encryption
A second party, Bob, encrypts a message
M
{\displaystyle M}
to Alice under her public key
(
G
,
q
,
g
,
h
)
{\displaystyle (G,q,g,h)}
as follows:
Map the message
M
{\displaystyle M}
to an element
m
{\displaystyle m}
of
G
{\displaystyle G}
using a reversible mapping function.
Choose an integer
y
{\displaystyle y}
randomly from
{
1
,
…
,
q
−
1
}
{\displaystyle \{1,\ldots ,q-1\}}
.
Compute
s
:=
h
y
{\displaystyle s:=h^{y}}
. This is called the shared secret.
Compute
c

:=
g
y
{\displaystyle c_{1}:=g^{y}}
.
Compute
c
2
:=
m
⋅
s
{\displaystyle c_{2}:=m\cdot s}
.
Bob sends the ciphertext
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
to Alice.Note that if one knows both the ciphertext
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
and the plaintext
m
{\displaystyle m}
, one can easily find the shared secret
s
{\displaystyle s}
, since
c
2
⋅
m
−
1
=
s
{\displaystyle c_{2}\cdot m^{-1}=s}
. Therefore, a new
y
{\displaystyle y}
and hence a new
s
{\displaystyle s}
is generated for every message to improve security. For this reason,
y
{\displaystyle y}
is also called an ephemeral key.
Decryption
Alice decrypts a ciphertext
(
c
1
,
c
2
)
{\displaystyle (c_{1},c_{2})}
with her private key
x
{\displaystyle x}
as follows:
Compute
s
:=
c
1
x
{\displaystyle s:=c_{1}^{x}}
. Since
c

=
g
y
{\displaystyle c_{1}=g^{y}}
,
c
1
x
=
g
x
y
=
h
y
{\displaystyle c_{1}^{x}=g^{xy}=h^{y}}
, and thus it is the same shared secret that was used by Bob in encryption.
Compute
s
−
1
{\displaystyle s^{-1}}
, the inverse of
s
{\displaystyle s}
in the group
G
{\displaystyle G}
. This can be computed in one of several ways. If
G
{\displaystyle G}
is a subgroup of a multiplicative group of integers modulo
n
{\displaystyle n}
, where
n
{\displaystyle n}
is prime, the modular multiplicative inverse can be computed using the extended Euclidean algorithm. An alternative is to compute
s
−
1
{\displaystyle s^{-1}}
as
c

x
{\displaystyle c_{1}^{q-x}}

y
=

{\displaystyle s\cdot c_{1}^{q-x}=g^{xy}\cdot g^{(q-x)y}=(g^{q})^{y}=e^{y}=e}
.
Compute
m
:=
c
2
⋅
s
−
1
{\displaystyle m:=c_{2}\cdot s^{-1}}
. This calculation produces the original message
m
{\displaystyle m}
, because
c
2
=
m
⋅
s
{\displaystyle c_{2}=m\cdot s}
; hence
c

s

The Man They Could Not Hang is a 1939 American horror film directed by Nick Grinde from a screenplay by Karl Brown. It stars Boris Karloff as Dr. Henryk Savaard, a scientist who develops a procedure for bringing the dead back to life. When he is arrested and sentenced to be executed for murdering a young medical student who volunteered to be killed to test the procedure, Savaard vows retribution on the individuals responsible. Alongside Karloff, the film's cast includes Lorna Gray, Robert Wilcox, and Roger Pryor.
The Man They Could Not Hang is the first in a series of four similarly-themed but otherwise unrelated horror films produced by Columbia Pictures, all starring Karloff, informally known as the "Mad Doctor Cycle." It was followed by The Man with Nine Lives, Before I Hang (both 1940), and The Devil Commands (1941). A fifth, The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942), was a parody of the others.
Plot
Dr. Henryk Savaard is a scientist experimenting with bringing the dead back to life in a laboratory in his home. Bob Roberts, a young medical student, volunteers himself to be temporarily killed in order to test an artificial heart developed by Savaard. If successful, Savaard's invention could allow doctors to perform procedures that would otherwise be impossible to conduct on living patients. Bob's fiancée, Ms. Crawford, fears that the experiment will fail, and rushes to a police department to alert law enforcement. When the police enter Savaard's house, Savaard instructs his assistant, Lang, to take the artificial heart and hide. Despite his assertions that he can restore Bob's life, the police arrest Savaard for murder.
After a publicized trial, a jury declares Savaard guilty of first-degree murder, and he is sentenced to hang. Following the announcement of the verdict, the presiding Judge Bowman allows Savaard two minutes to speak, which Savaard uses to condemn those responsible for his conviction. On death row, Savaard is visited by Lang, and signs a release form that will allow Lang to take possession of his body after he is executed. Shortly thereafter, Savaard is hanged.
Some time later, Savaard is revived by Lang. Though he sustained a broken neck from the hanging, Lang was able to surgically repair it, an effort that Lang notes would have been unfeasible had Savaard been alive. Over the month following Savaard's execution, six of the jurors from his trial are found hanged in apparent suicides, a commonality noticed by reporter 'Scoop' Foley. Foley visits Savaard's house on a night when the surviving jurors—along with District Attorney Drake, Police Lieutenant Shane, and police surgeon Dr. Stoddard—have been asked to gather there, having been sent messages attributed to Judge Bowman. When Bowman arrives, he reveals that he received a telegram supposedly signed by Savaard's daughter Janet asking him to meet her there.
As the guests attempt to deduce who summoned them to the location, Savaard enters the room. Inviting them to stay for dinner, he explains to his guests, who are stunned to see him alive, that he could kill all of them and be protected by the alibi of his being legally dead. Judge Bowman tries to leave the house but is fatally electrocuted when he attempts to open a grille separating the guests from the house's front doors. Savaard disappears, and the remaining guests realize that they are trapped in the house.
Over an intercom, Savaard announces that each of them will be killed at fifteen-minute intervals. Kearney, the head juror, is killed when he answers a phone that thrusts a poison-tipped needle into his ear, piercing his brain. Savaard states that Ms. Crawford is next to die. Janet arrives at the house, and the trapped guests explain to her that her father is alive. Janet finds Savaard upstairs in his laboratory, and implores him to abandon his desire for revenge. Savaard reveals that he killed Lang after Lang threatened to expose his plan to kill those responsible for convicting him. Janet heads downstairs and, in spite of her father's pleas, purposefully touches the electrified grille, forcing Savaard to surrender.
Using Savaard's artificial heart apparatus, Dr. Stoddard revives Janet. Savaard, to the dismay of Dr. Stoddard, destroys his invention with a gun, and dies.
Cast
Stanley Brown appears in an uncredited role as Bob Roberts.
Critical reception
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 67% based on six reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10.
Home media
In the 1990s, The Man They Could Not Hang was released on VHS by RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video. In 2006, the film was included on a four-film DVD release titled "Icons of Horror Collection: Boris Karloff", accompanying The Black Room (1935), Before I Hang (1940), and The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942). In 2021, The Man They Could Not Hang was released on Blu-ray in Region B by Eureka Entertainment, as part of a six-film box set known as "Karloff at Columbia". The other films included in the set are The Black Room, The Man with Nine Lives, Before I Hang, The Devil Commands, and The Boogie Man Will Get You.

The Man They Could Not Hang is a 1939 American horror film directed by Nick Grinde from a screenplay by Karl Brown. It stars Boris Karloff as Dr. Henryk Savaard, a scientist who develops a procedure for bringing the dead back to life. When he is arrested and sentenced to be executed for murdering a young medical student who volunteered to be killed to test the procedure, Savaard vows retribution on the individuals responsible. Alongside Karloff, the film's cast includes Lorna Gray, Robert Wilcox, and Roger Pryor.
The Man They Could Not Hang is the first in a series of four similarly-themed but otherwise unrelated horror films produced by Columbia Pictures, all starring Karloff, informally known as the "Mad Doctor Cycle." It was followed by The Man with Nine Lives, Before I Hang (both 1940), and The Devil Commands (1941). A fifth, The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942), was a parody of the others.
Plot
Dr. Henryk Savaard is a scientist experimenting with bringing the dead back to life in a laboratory in his home. Bob Roberts, a young medical student, volunteers himself to be temporarily killed in order to test an artificial heart developed by Savaard. If successful, Savaard's invention could allow doctors to perform procedures that would otherwise be impossible to conduct on living patients. Bob's fiancée, Ms. Crawford, fears that the experiment will fail, and rushes to a police department to alert law enforcement. When the police enter Savaard's house, Savaard instructs his assistant, Lang, to take the artificial heart and hide. Despite his assertions that he can restore Bob's life, the police arrest Savaard for murder.
After a publicized trial, a jury declares Savaard guilty of first-degree murder, and he is sentenced to hang. Following the announcement of the verdict, the presiding Judge Bowman allows Savaard two minutes to speak, which Savaard uses to condemn those responsible for his conviction. On death row, Savaard is visited by Lang, and signs a release form that will allow Lang to take possession of his body after he is executed. Shortly thereafter, Savaard is hanged.
Some time later, Savaard is revived by Lang. Though he sustained a broken neck from the hanging, Lang was able to surgically repair it, an effort that Lang notes would have been unfeasible had Savaard been alive. Over the month following Savaard's execution, six of the jurors from his trial are found hanged in apparent suicides, a commonality noticed by reporter 'Scoop' Foley. Foley visits Savaard's house on a night when the surviving jurors—along with District Attorney Drake, Police Lieutenant Shane, and police surgeon Dr. Stoddard—have been asked to gather there, having been sent messages attributed to Judge Bowman. When Bowman arrives, he reveals that he received a telegram supposedly signed by Savaard's daughter Janet asking him to meet her there.
As the guests attempt to deduce who summoned them to the location, Savaard enters the room. Inviting them to stay for dinner, he explains to his guests, who are stunned to see him alive, that he could kill all of them and be protected by the alibi of his being legally dead. Judge Bowman tries to leave the house but is fatally electrocuted when he attempts to open a grille separating the guests from the house's front doors. Savaard disappears, and the remaining guests realize that they are trapped in the house.
Over an intercom, Savaard announces that each of them will be killed at fifteen-minute intervals. Kearney, the head juror, is killed when he answers a phone that thrusts a poison-tipped needle into his ear, piercing his brain. Savaard states that Ms. Crawford is next to die. Janet arrives at the house, and the trapped guests explain to her that her father is alive. Janet finds Savaard upstairs in his laboratory, and implores him to abandon his desire for revenge. Savaard reveals that he killed Lang after Lang threatened to expose his plan to kill those responsible for convicting him. Janet heads downstairs and, in spite of her father's pleas, purposefully touches the electrified grille, forcing Savaard to surrender.
Using Savaard's artificial heart apparatus, Dr. Stoddard revives Janet. Savaard, to the dismay of Dr. Stoddard, destroys his invention with a gun, and dies.

The Man They Could Not Hang is a 1939 American horror film directed by Nick Grinde from a screenplay by Karl Brown. It stars Boris Karloff as Dr. Henryk Savaard, a scientist who develops a procedure for bringing the dead back to life. When he is arrested and sentenced to be executed for murdering a young medical student who volunteered to be killed to test the procedure, Savaard vows retribution on the individuals responsible. Alongside Karloff, the film's cast includes Lorna Gray, Robert Wilcox, and Roger Pryor.
The Man They Could Not Hang is the first in a series of four similarly-themed but otherwise unrelated horror films produced by Columbia Pictures, all starring Karloff, informally known as the "Mad Doctor Cycle." It was followed by The Man with Nine Lives, Before I Hang (both 1940), and The Devil Commands (1941). A fifth, The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942), was a parody of the others.
Plot
Dr. Henryk Savaard is a scientist experimenting with bringing the dead back to life in a laboratory in his home. Bob Roberts, a young medical student, volunteers himself to be temporarily killed in order to test an artificial heart developed by Savaard. If successful, Savaard's invention could allow doctors to perform procedures that would otherwise be impossible to conduct on living patients. Bob's fiancée, Ms. Crawford, fears that the experiment will fail, and rushes to a police department to alert law enforcement. When the police enter Savaard's house, Savaard instructs his assistant, Lang, to take the artificial heart and hide. Despite his assertions that he can restore Bob's life, the police arrest Savaard for murder.
After a publicized trial, a jury declares Savaard guilty of first-degree murder, and he is sentenced to hang. Following the announcement of the verdict, the presiding Judge Bowman allows Savaard two minutes to speak, which Savaard uses to condemn those responsible for his conviction. On death row, Savaard is visited by Lang, and signs a release form that will allow Lang to take possession of his body after he is executed. Shortly thereafter, Savaard is hanged.
Some time later, Savaard is revived by Lang. Though he sustained a broken neck from the hanging, Lang was able to surgically repair it, an effort that Lang notes would have been unfeasible had Savaard been alive. Over the month following Savaard's execution, six of the jurors from his trial are found hanged in apparent suicides, a commonality noticed by reporter 'Scoop' Foley. Foley visits Savaard's house on a night when the surviving jurors—along with District Attorney Drake, Police Lieutenant Shane, and police surgeon Dr. Stoddard—have been asked to gather there, having been sent messages attributed to Judge Bowman. When Bowman arrives, he reveals that he received a telegram supposedly signed by Savaard's daughter Janet asking him to meet her there.
As the guests attempt to deduce who summoned them to the location, Savaard enters the room. Inviting them to stay for dinner, he explains to his guests, who are stunned to see him alive, that he could kill all of them and be protected by the alibi of his being legally dead. Judge Bowman tries to leave the house but is fatally electrocuted when he attempts to open a grille separating the guests from the house's front doors. Savaard disappears, and the remaining guests realize that they are trapped in the house.
Over an intercom, Savaard announces that each of them will be killed at fifteen-minute intervals. Kearney, the head juror, is killed when he answers a phone that thrusts a poison-tipped needle into his ear, piercing his brain. Savaard states that Ms. Crawford is next to die. Janet arrives at the house, and the trapped guests explain to her that her father is alive. Janet finds Savaard upstairs in his laboratory, and implores him to abandon his desire for revenge. Savaard reveals that he killed Lang after Lang threatened to expose his plan to kill those responsible for convicting him. Janet heads downstairs and, in spite of her father's pleas, purposefully touches the electrified grille, forcing Savaard to surrender.
Using Savaard's artificial heart apparatus, Dr. Stoddard revives Janet. Savaard, to the dismay of Dr. Stoddard, destroys his invention with a gun, and dies.

Stanley Brown appears in an uncredited role as Bob Roberts.

Pseudeuophrys lanigera is a species of jumping spider (family Salticidae) that is distributed throughout Europe.
Description
Males reach a body length of three to four millimeters, with females up to five mm. This species is very similar to Pseudeuophrys erratica, which is rarer and found below the bark of trees on forest fringes. As P. lanigera is mostly found inside buildings, adults can be found even in deep winter. It is better suited to the dry climate of modern concrete architecture than other salticids in the area like Salticus scenicus. Adults can be found the whole year.
Distribution
P. lanigera is distributed in western and southern Europe, eastward to the Caucasus. In Germany this species is most often observed inside houses, or on the external walls of buildings, indicating it is synanthropic at least in some parts of its range.
A first find in Romania was published in 2007, and in Poland the first find was in 1999.Originally this species was distributed in Southwest Europe, and was first found in Germany in the 1950s, where it is now found only in or near human dwellings.
Biology
P. lanigera has been observed feeding on booklice such as Liposcelis.
Name
The species name (lanigera) means wool-bearing; the genus name 'looking like' (pseud) 'good' (eu) 'eyebrows' (ophrys).
Euophrys ('beautiful eyebrows') is another genus from which Pseudeuophrys has been split off.

Distribution
P. lanigera is distributed in western and southern Europe, eastward to the Caucasus. In Germany this species is most often observed inside houses, or on the external walls of buildings, indicating it is synanthropic at least in some parts of its range.
A first find in Romania was published in 2007, and in Poland the first find was in 1999.Originally this species was distributed in Southwest Europe, and was first found in Germany in the 1950s, where it is now found only in or near human dwellings.
Biology
P. lanigera has been observed feeding on booklice such as Liposcelis.
Name
The species name (lanigera) means wool-bearing; the genus name 'looking like' (pseud) 'good' (eu) 'eyebrows' (ophrys).
Euophrys ('beautiful eyebrows') is another genus from which Pseudeuophrys has been split off.

Pseudeuophrys lanigera is a species of jumping spider (family Salticidae) that is distributed throughout Europe.
Description
Males reach a body length of three to four millimeters, with females up to five mm. This species is very similar to Pseudeuophrys erratica, which is rarer and found below the bark of trees on forest fringes. As P. lanigera is mostly found inside buildings, adults can be found even in deep winter. It is better suited to the dry climate of modern concrete architecture than other salticids in the area like Salticus scenicus. Adults can be found the whole year.

The Montgomery Brothers in Canada is an album by The Montgomery Brothers, released in 1961.
The Montgomery Brothers in Canada and The Montgomery Brothers were reissued in 1998 on one CD as a Wes Montgomery release titled Groove Brothers. The original LP had overdubbed crowd noise which was absent on the CD reissue.
Reception
In a review for Allmusic, critic Richie Unterberger wrote: "It's a solid set of cool but not cold bop with a low-key mood and uniformly tasteful playing... There's only one original on here (by Buddy), but it's a beaut: the buoyant 'Beaux Arts' has gorgeous alternations of single-note solos and chording by Wes. In a different vein, 'Angel Eyes,' which begins with a long drumless passage, shows his skill with a delicate slow ballad."
Track listing
"Jeannine" (Duke Pearson)
"Snowfall" (Claude Thornhill)
"Angel Eyes" (Matt Dennis, Earl Brent)
"Barbados" (Charlie Parker)
"This Love of Mine" (Sol Parker, Henry W. Jr. Sanicola, Frank Sinatra)
"On Green Dolphin Street" (Bronislau Kaper, Ned Washington)
"You Don't Know What Love Is" (Gene de Paul, Don Raye)
"Beaux Arts (Bud's Beaux Arts)" (Buddy Montgomery)
Personnel
Buddy Montgomery – vibraphone
Wes Montgomery – guitar
Monk Montgomery – double bass
Paul Humphrey – drums
