Podcast Production

The term “podcast” is a combination of “iPod,” Apple’s portable media player, and “broadcast.” It originated in the early 2000s when individuals began creating audio content specifically designed for download and playback on portable media players, including the iPod. Over time, the concept has evolved, and podcasts are now a popular and diverse form of digital media covering a wide range of topics, including news, education, entertainment, and more. The key feature of a podcast is its on-demand nature, allowing listeners to access content at their convenience.

Abstract: In this article, we study ongoing blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) standardization. To this end, we list standards organizations and the efforts they devote to standardise blockchain and DLT. We then identify a lack of terminology that can hamper communication on this topic and propose clarifications to address these ambiguities. Finally, we propose a high-level description of blockchain and DLT by describing three elements of their functional architecture.

Sufganiyot in a Minute

Sufganiyot (plural), sufganiyah (singular); are a type of deep-fried doughnut that is traditionally eaten by Jewish people during Hanukkah, along with other fried foods, to commemorate the miracle of the oil in the Temple. They are typically round and filled with jelly or other sweet fillings, and they are often dusted with powdered sugar. Sufganiyot are deep-fried until they are golden brown and have a light, fluffy texture.

The practice of eating fried foods during Hanukkah is a symbolic way of celebrating the miracle of the oil, where a small amount of oil miraculously lasted for eight days in the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem.
