Nal, Balochistan
Nal, also spelled Naal (; , ) is the third largest urban centre in the Khuzdar District, in the province of Balochistan, Pakistan. Home to 6,167 households, it serves as the administrative centre of Nal Tehsil. History The town and its surroundings are historically significant due to its association with the prehistoric Amri Culture, Amri-Nal culture, which flourished between 3800–2300 BCE. The nearby archaeological site of Sohr Damb (also known as Red Mound) has yielded artifacts indicative of early urban planning and distinctive pottery styles. These findings suggest that Nal was part of a complex society that predated the Indus Valley Civilisation. The Nal pottery (3100-2800BC) have figurative motifs and polychrome decoration. In modern history, Nal has been notable as the hometown of prominent Baloch leaders, including Ghaus Bakhsh Bizenjo, who played a pivotal role in Balochistan's political landscape.

Laufey (mythology)
Laufey or Nál is a figure in Norse mythology and the mother of Loki. The latter is frequently mentioned by the matronymic ''Loki Laufeyjarson'' (Old Norse 'Loki Laufey's son') in the ''Poetic Edda'', rather than the expected traditional patronymic Loki ''Fárbautason'' ('son of Fárbauti'), in a mythology where kinship is usually reckoned through male ancestry. Name The meaning of the Old Norse name ''Laufey'' is not clear, but it is generally taken to be related to ''lauf'' ('leaves, foliage'), perhaps attached to the suffix -''ey'' (found in female Personal name, personal names like ''Bjargey'', ''Þórey)'', or deriving from an hypothetical tree-goddess named ''*lauf-awiaz'' ('the leafy'). Since the name of her spouse ''Fárbauti'' means "dangerous hitter", a possible natural mythological interpretation has been proposed by some scholars, with lightning hitting the leaves, or needles of a tree to give rise to fire.

Network Abstraction Layer
The Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) is a part of the H.264/AVC and HEVC video coding standards. The main goal of the NAL is the provision of a "network-friendly" video representation addressing "conversational" (video telephony) and "non conversational" (storage, broadcast, or streaming) applications. NAL has achieved a significant improvement in application flexibility relative to prior video coding standards. Introduction An increasing number of services and growing popularity of high definition TV are creating greater needs for higher coding efficiency. Moreover, other transmission media such as cable modem, xDSL, or UMTS offer much lower data rates than broadcast channels, and enhanced coding efficiency can enable the transmission of more video channels or higher quality video representations within existing digital transmission capacities. Video coding for telecommunication applications has diversified from ISDN and T1/ E1 service to embrace PSTN, mobile wireless networks, ...
