Whispers (Plain novel)
|
Whispers is a 1993 domestic violence novel written by Belva Plain.
It takes place in Connecticut, where the young and naïve secretary Lynn falls in love with the ambitious and handsome executive Robert. Robert seems like a marvelous partner at first, but has occasional violent outbursts. The novel brings into question whether it is okay for a partner to hit their significant other if it is only "every now and then".
Summary
Lynn is a middle class secretary who was born in Iowa. She simple, yet pretty and even though she's smart due to her small town upbringing she is naive. Her self esteem fluctuates between medium and low, finding herself rather ordinary and very short. At work she befriends and later falls in love with her boss, Robert, a handsome and talented young man who is destined to a great future within the company.
They start dating and quickly get married. After Robert gets a promotion they move to Connecticut with her two young daughters.
At first Robert is sweet and gentle, retelling his life like a fairytale with a tragic past, his parents being lovely but having an untimely death back when he was young, having been married once but tragically being left by his neurotic ex-wife. Lynn gets entangled in a web of sugarcoated lies and half truths and is dazzled by Robert's good looks and gentlemanly demeanor. Yet as time and their marriage progresses Robert lets his true colours show: he's possessive, domineering, controlling, and abusive emotionally, psychologically, and lastly physically. He's a narcissist and a perfectionist that wants to have "either the best or nothing", demanding everyone to follow the same mantra and exploding if things don't go his way.
After a series of events where the truth of his former marriage is revealed he ultimately beats Lynn to near death and ends up without a marriage and without a family.
Lynn learns that her self worth is not to be dictated by anyone, that being abused is not something to be ashamed of as it's not her fault, that rather she should stand up for herself and her little family and rise her voice to protect herself and her loved ones. She also realizes that she is not a helpless little woman after all, that she has an inner fire that might not be showy but is just as roaring as anyone else's, giving her the strength to stand on her own two feet, finally opening her restaurant, and letting herself seek her much dreamed happiness.
Characters
Lynn: The protagonist of the novel, naive, young, pretty and vulnerable, she falls in love with Robert and blames herself for many of the faults he perceives in her which leads to abuse. She is the mother of three daughters, one of the deceased in a drowning accident, and a son. She loves to cook and dreams of having her own restaurant and catering service company, yet her husband constantly puts her down, abusing her not only emotionally and psychologically but also physically. She ends her relationship with Robert after being almost beat to death in front of her baby son and after some years starts a new relationship with Bruce.
Robert: A company executive on the fast-track to being promoted. He is picture-perfect on the outside and career-oriented. Even at home, he appears to be the perfect husband. However, he reacts violently to embarrassment or negative situations, oftentimes resulting in a beating to his wife, Lynn. He is a perfectionist that will not take no for an answer, wanting everything to his liking ("Either the best or nothing."), domineering to the extent of never letting his wife manage money or trying to control his eldest daughter's friendships and relationships when they are not to his liking. He was married once before to a woman named Amada and had a son with her, who refuses to see him. He ends up in disgrace after the "secret" of his sporadic beatings to his wife leaks out, thus losing his job, his reputation, and his family.
Bruce: Robert's subordinate, Lynn's friend, and Josie's husband. He's a sweet natured man with golden hair that "has a friendly twinkle in his eyes and likes cats" according to Josie. He has a passion for antiques and buys a lot of them. His deep love for his wife transpires in every action he takes. Yet, he admits he always thought of Lynn as someone other than just a friend saying that "maybe there's not just one person for us, but many more."
He knows about the abuse Lynn suffers, but is powerless to do much other than support her in his quiet way to due to being Robert's subordinate. He is with her in the aftermath of her beating and defends her from Robert. After years of separation, as he took a job abroad, he returns to the United States and starts a new life wit Lynn and her children.

She has a steady boyfriend named Harris, who her father hates and disapproves of due to their difference in social class, yet Emily ignores that and loves Harris for who he is. In the middle of te novel she has a spontaneous abortion after three months of pregnancy and has to be rushed to the ER, resulting in her losing the baby and her father on tightening his grip on her as much as he could, prohibiting her from seeing Harris ever again. She refuses to go to the university his father wants her to go and instead makes plans to go to the same university as Harris.

She's a straight A student, popular, funny and charismatic, who loves her mother and siblings very deeply.
Caroline Robert's and Lynn's second daughter. Lynn said names have colours and Caroline was such a soft shade of gold that it almost looked silver. Lynn was happy with her two daughters, but her happiness was short lived as one day while attending a children's birthday party Caroline wandered off to the end of the house's garden and drowned in the pond. The water was so shallow she could've stood up if she wanted to, so it's possible she fell over and hit her head or was incapacitated some other way. She was pronounced dead on the scene of accidental drowning, leaving Lynn devastated. Robert tried to outwardly make Lynn feel guilty about the whole ordeal, but he was chastised by Lynn's loved ones and instead using Caroline's memory to control Lynn even more through her natural guilt over her death. Emily barely remembers her but what little she does, she remembers her fondly.
Annie Robert's and Lynn's third daughter. She looks more like Lynn with straw blonde hair and a cute freckled face. She has a lot of insecurities, mainly stemming from her father's constant disapproval. She is not as slender and tall as Emily, being more on the chubby side; her grades are poor, she has not talent nor interest for sports, and her life expectations aren't as grand. She however is good at the piano, actually liking to play with her father and practicing without her mother having to insist to much upon it. She's a sweet little girl who only wants her father to love her, but is constantly battling him to let her be who ever she wants to be. She finds solace in Tom Lawrence's words and resolves to be more confident in herself, regardless of her appearance. She witnesses her father's last beating on her mother and is horrified, remembering another beating a long time ago during the halloween when she was around 2. She turns out fine in the end, having the confidence to shout at her father to go away, and realizing she's valuable despite whatever anyone says.
Bobby Robert's and Lynn's baby son. He witnesses his father's last beating on his mother, but is too young to even remember so. He's lively and happy and healthy.

Harris Emily's boyfriend and father of their unborn child. He's a responsible teenager, son of a policeman, who is a straight A student and loves emily very very deeply. He is distraught when Emily is suffering a spontaneous abortion and tries to contact her, but Bruce at first and then Robert prevent him from it, the former to protect him from Robert's fury and the latter to "protect" Emily from him. He ends up going to Tulane, followed by Emily, to be a doctor.
Harris' Father A good natured policeman, the only man aside from Tom and Bruce who has stood up to Robert and told him head on that he knows of the abuse but due to respect and steem for Emily and Lynn he never proceeded with the reports of violence from their neighbours. He cares deeply for his son and tries to protect him from Robert.
Amada Robert's ex-wife. She's an artist and has her own gallery in New York. Emily approaches her first when Aunt Jean told her about Bruce's first ever son. Later it's Lynn who approaches her, trying to know the truth about Robert's first marriage. Robert abused her just as much as he abused Lynn, resulting in a quarrel in a skating rink where Robert pushed Amada and broke her hip against the hard ice. She never healed well, but refused to be helped by a doctor, keeping her shortened hip and leg as a reminder of Robert's abuse and that she would never let a man abuse her again. She single-handedly raised her son and doesn't want Robert to contact him nor her. Robert hates her very much because in the end she stood up for herself and left him.
Aunt Jean Robert's elderly aunt. He hates her because she talks a lot and he fears she might out the secret of his parents' death and the abuse his father inflicted on his mother. She's sweet and demure and likes Emily very much.

Foxtel Smooth
|
Foxtel Smooth (formerly Smooth) was an 18-hour (originally 24-hour) Australian pay television music channel available via Foxtel satellite and cable services. It launched on 3 December 2013, dedicated to easy listening adult contemporary music. The channel ceased broadcasting on 1 July 2020.
History
On 1 November 2013, Foxtel announced they were refreshing their music genre channels to allow for more diversity in their offerings. In addition to changes to the channels being offered by MTV Australia and the branding of the audio channels, it was announced that smoothfm would launch a television station that would offer easy listening adult contemporary music which will correspond to their radio network. Smooth was the first radio station in Australia to launch a television channel. Marcia Hines and Cameron Daddo were the faces of the channel.
From 11 October 2017, it was announced that Foxtel Smooth would become a part-day channel, and would only be broadcast between midnight and 6 pm. This was due to a move by Foxtel to enable Foxtel Smooth to share the same broadcast bandwidth as Foxtel Arts, which in turn would only be available between 6 pm and midnight.
On 3 June 2020, it was confirmed by Foxtel and NOVA that the channel would cease operations at the end of the month. This was followed with an announcement in May that Foxtel would be outsourcing its music video channel operations to Network 10's parent company ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Networks UK & Australia). On 1 July 2020, following the closure of the channel, Foxtel Arts was reverted back to a 24-hour channel.

William Curnow
|
William Curnow (1832 – 14 October 1903) was a Cornish Australian journalist, and Methodist minister, and was editor of The Sydney Morning Herald for 15 years.
Early life
Curnow was baptised on 2 December 1832 at St Ives, Cornwall, United Kingdom, the son of James Curnow, a tin miner, and his wife Jane, née Hallow. As a child he competed in a recitation contest at a local Methodist chapel in which he beat a young Henry Irving who at that time was still known by the surname Brodribb. At the time of the United Kingdom Census 1851, when he was 18, Curnow was working as a tin miner. He trained for the Wesleyan Methodist ministry, before emigrating to Australia in 1854.
Ministry
Arriving in Sydney on 23 May 1854 with fellow Cornishman and minister William Kelynack, he served as minister at Newcastle, Maitland, Parramatta and Bowenfels. It was in Parramatta where he married Matilda Susanna Weiss, daughter of a Sydney businessman, on 16 March 1858. In 1859 he was transferred to the Brisbane and Ipswich circuit in Queensland, but was recalled to Sydney in 1862. For three years Curnow was minister for the York street Church, the principal place of worship of the Sydney Wesleyans, and another three years were spent at Bourke Street. In 1868 he went to Goulburn, before returning to York street in 1871. In March 1874 he left for a trip to the United Kingdom. When he returned Curnow initially ministered in Forest Lodge, however his throat had become adversely affected by public speaking and he finally resigned in 1886.
Journalism
Curnow was joint editor of the Christian Advocate and Wesleyan Record with William Kelynack from 1864–68 and 1871–73. From 1873 he contributed articles to the Sydney Morning Herald, and John Fairfax highly appreciated his work. On Curnow's return from abroad, in 1875, Fairfax invited him to become a member of the editorial staff. He edited The Sydney Mail for five months in 1885 and on 1 January 1886 he succeeded Andrew Garran as editor of the Sydney Morning Herald.
He retired in 1903 in failing health, and died aged 70 of cerebrovascular disease at his home at Clifton, Cambridge street, Enmore on 14 October 1903 and was buried in Rookwood Cemetery.
Family
He was survived by his wife, two sons and two daughters. His wife, with Maybanke Anderson and Louisa Macdonald, helped to establish free kindergartens and was a founder of the Women's Literary Society and of The Women's College, University of Sydney. Curnow Place, in the Canberra suburb of Chisholm, is named in her honour. His youngest son William Leslie Curnow became a journalist working with the Sydney Morning Herald and the London Times but is chiefly remembered for his work with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on researching and writing about Spiritualism.

Operation Glory
|
Operation Glory was an American effort to repatriate the remains of United Nations Command casualties from North Korea at the end of the Korean War. The Korean Armistice Agreement of July 1953 called for the repatriation of all casualties and prisoners of war, and through September and October 1954 the Graves Registration Service Command received the remains of approximately 4,000 casualties. Of the 1,868 American remains, 848 unidentified remains were buried as "unknowns" at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii.
Some of the remains came from the temporary military cemeteries in North Korea that had been abandoned as Chinese forces pushed US forces out of North Korea. Public ceremonies involving delivery of the returned remains included honor guards. Also exchanged were the remains of approximately 14,000 North Korean and Chinese casualties.

Orang-Outang, sive Homo Sylvestris
|
Orang-Outang, sive Homo Sylvestris: or, the Anatomy of a Pygmie Compared with that of a Monkey, an Ape, and a Man (1699) is a book by the British natural philosopher Edward Tyson. Regarded as a seminal work on anatomy, this volume led to Tyson being known as the father of comparative anatomy. The book characterizes in detail the anatomy of a creature described as a pygmy (later known as a chimpanzee) and contains Tyson's views on the phylogeny of the pygmy and its relationship to humans, apes, and monkeys.
The use of the phrase "orang-outang" does not refer to members of the orangutan genus Pongo, but rather uses the phrase to refer to the habitat of the subject; that is, a "person of the forest" (orangutan translates from Malay as "person of the forest/jungle".) Due to the absence of previous literature concerning chimpanzees, it is not clear whether or not the titular subject was a bonobo, Pan paniscus, or a common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes, as there was not great prior distinction between the two. Following his summary of the anatomy of the subject, Tyson attaches four essays concerning the ancients' knowledge of pygmies, cynocephali, satyrs, and sphinges.
The book was originally published in 1699 and was republished in 1894 with an introduction which contains a biography of Edward Tyson by Bertram C. A. Windle. Large portions of the book are block quotations in Latin of works from antiquity regarding the anatomy and socialization of the pygmy, much of which Tyson regarded as inaccurate myths and hearsay.
Letter of dedication
The letter of dedication is addressed to John Sommers, a Lord High Chancellor of England and President of the Royal Society. The letter thanks him for his dedication to the advancement of knowledge, specifically "experimental natural philosophy".
Preface
The preface consists of Tyson giving his reasons for conducting the study, "to find out the truth, than to enlarge in the mythology; to inform the judgement, than to please the fancy". He also laments his inability to compare his findings directly to apes and monkeys, instead having to rely on the works of others, such as Aristotle, Pliny, Galen, and Vesalius. Lastly he apologizes in advance for any mistakes on his part within the book.
Organization
The book itself is roughly divided into three parts containing Tyson's findings from his dissection of the pygmy and his comparison to previous findings, many of which are in Latin or Greek.
Overview
Tyson summarizes his observations on the external and internal anatomy of the pygmy, making note of their similarity or differences to humans. Most often he finds that the pygmy is different and "inferior" to humans, which is typical of the anthropocentrism of the time. Much of the text where he addresses previous findings are in Latin or Greek, although he does give explanations for why these authors' drew the conclusions they did, and why they are different or similar from his, in English.
Skeleton
This section is further subdivided into five sections, with much of the text being in Latin or Greek.
Muscles
This section is not divided, but addresses the musculature of the pygmy from head to feet.
Synopsis
Here Tyson gives the reader two lists, the first how the pygmy is more like a man than an ape, and the second how the pygmy is more like an ape than a man.
Similarities
A list of features Tyson found present in the pygmy which are more similar to a human than to an ape or a monkey; the terms use modern, common, anatomical terms which may differ from what is found in the book, but have been changed to ease the readers' understanding.
Similar hair morphology of the shoulder and arm.
Similar facial structure: forehead larger than the chin.
The shape of the outer ear, except that the cartilage is thinner and more like an ape.
Thicker fingers than an ape has.
Primarily bipedal.
Larger buttocks than an ape.
Calf muscles.
Wider in the shoulders and pectorals.
Longer heel.
Adipose membrane next to the skin.
Unperforated peritoneum in the groin.
Longer small intestine.
Larger intestinal canal.
Presence of a vermiform appendix; beginning of the colon is not extended.
Insertion of the bile and pancreatic ducts are in the same location. The ape also has this same location, but not a monkey.
Longer large intestine.
The liver is not divided into lobes (which humans do have; this differs from modern anatomical understanding).
Similar bile vessels.
Same spleen.
Same pancreas.
Same number of lobes in each lung.
Pericardium attached to diaphragm.
More rounded apex of the heart.
No pouches in the chaps (unclear).
Much larger brain than in apes, with the same structures as a human brain.
More globular skull; twice as big as an ape's or monkey's.
Same number of cranial sutures. Wormian (intra-sutural) bones also present (though not present in all humans).
Cribriform plate and crista galli are present (present also in apes but not monkeys).
Sella turcica is less prominent than in apes and monkeys.
Pterygoid process present.
Temporal and anterior fontanelle are different in monkeys (but not in apes).
Zygomatic bone more similar to humans (smaller than in monkeys and apes).
Shape of the teeth, especially the canines and molars.
Transverse apophysis of C6 and C7 vertebra are more like a human's.
Cervical vertebra lack foramen for containing the nerves (not the spinal cord, but rather peripheral nerves which travel to the rest of the body) which are present in monkeys.
Number of thoracic and lumbar apophyses.
Five vertebrae in the loins (could refer to lumbar vertebrae, of which monkey and apes have six).
Lumbar vertebrae are straight.
Five sacral elements; three in apes and monkeys.
Four unperforated segments of the coccyx; monkeys have more.
Seven true ribs which articulate in the body of the vertebrae; in apes and monkeys there are eight which articulate in the interstices of the vertebrae.
Broad sternum; narrow in monkeys.
Larger phalanges than in apes.
Femur articulates and is shaped more like a human's.
Round, single patella, not long and double like in an ape.
Same heel, tarsals, and metatarsals as a human.
Middle toe is not the longest, as it is in apes and monkeys.
The obliquus capitis inferior, pyriformis, and biceps femoris are a human's. All other muscles are like the human's as well, but are not distinguishably different from an ape or monkey the same, either from lack of subject or previous observations.
Differences
A list of features Tyson found were more similar between the pygmy and the ape and monkey, and less similar to a human.

Thirteen ribs on each side; humans have twelve.
Smaller thumb bones than humans have.
The ilium is exactly like an ape's, that is longer, narrower, and less concave than a man's.
Length of the bones of the toes; the great toe is opposable like an ape's.
Lack of occipitalis, frontalis, dilator naris, levator labii superioris, interspinales cervicis, gluteus minimus, extensor digitorum pedi brevis, and transversalis pedi.

Valdemar Ingemann (21 February 1840 – 10 October 1911) was a prolific Danish architect active during the late 19th and early 20th century. His works include the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactury (now Porcelænshaven) in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen.
Early life and career
Valdemar Ingemann was born in Copenhagen, the son of merchant and perfume manufacturer Søren Edvard Joachim Ingemann, nephew of the author Bernhard Severin Ingemann, and Mariane Aurelia Laurentine née Lauritzen. He completed a mason's apprenticeship and was prior to that, in October 1856, admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where he won the large silver medal (1863) before graduating in 1866.
Career
Ingemann then worked as a draughtsman for H. C. Stilling and Johan Henrik Nebelong before setting up his own practice. He taught at the Technical Society's School from 1877 to 1900. Ingemann also served on the Copenhagen City Council from 1894 to 1900.

Brachydeiridae
|
Brachydeiridae is a family of small to moderately large-sized arthrodire placoderms from the Late Devonian of Europe, restricted primarily to the Kellwasserkalk Fauna of Bad Wildungen and Adorf.
Brachydeirids have, in cross section, a highly compressed body, a pointed, sometimes highly elongated snout, and tremendous orbits. The plates of the trunk shield are noticeably shortened: in Synauchenia, the trunk shield and head shield are fused together as a single, immovable unit. The superficial anatomy of brachydeirids is extremely diverse, and each genus has been previously placed in their own monogeneric families.
The brachydeirids, together with Leptosteus, make up the superfamily Brachydeiroidea.
Genera
Brachydeirus
The half a dozen species of Brachydeirus are comparable (on a superficial level) in form and size to trout or small mackerels. The biting surfaces of the infragnathals are smooth and thick, suggesting an adaptation for crushing. Species of Brachydeirus are all restricted to the Kellwasserkalk Fauna of Bad Wildungen and Adorf.
Oxyosteus
Oxyosteus is easily distinguished by a high, extremely compressed body and a long, thin rostrum. Two named species are known from the Bad Wildungen Kellwasserkalk Fauna, while a dorsal plate of an as of yet unnamed species is known from the middle Frasnian-aged portion of the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland.
Synauchenia
As mentioned earlier, Synauchenia is unique in the entire order for having the trunk and head shields fused together into an immovable unit. It is restricted to the Bad Wildungen Kellwasserkalk Fauna.

Xanto: Novelucha libre is a novel written by Mexican writer José Luis Zárate and published in 1994. It is Zárate's first work published and also the first novel of his trilogy Las fases del mito (The phases of the myth), in which he reinvents a part of the life of some characters: El Santo, a Mexican wrestler, Dracula and Superman.
The novel is a confrontation between El Santo and Lovecraft-like deities.
Synopsis
Adrián Villalobos is an office worker living in the city of Puebla (Mexico) that suffers hallucinations. His mental condition makes him to believe he is the famous Mexican wrestler and movie star known as El Santo. Villalobos begins to exchange his personality with that of El Santo more frequently since he realizes the end of the world is going to begin in Puebla and El Santo is the only hero that can stop it.

Spring (poem)
|
Spring is a lyric poem written and illustrated by William Blake. It was first published in Songs of Innocence (1789) and later in Songs of Innocence and Experience (1794).
Background
William Blake's Songs of Innocence (1789) is a lyric anthology that consists of nineteen illuminated poems. Each poem is accompanied with an illustration by Blake. Songs of Innocence was later combined with Blake's Songs of Experience in 1794 to make Songs of Innocence and Experience, and were printed combined as well as separately.
Poem
Style
The poem is split into three stanzas. The rhyme scheme goes AABBCCDDE. The last line of each stanza is the same to show the joy the author has for this time of year. The poem is written in dactylic feet. There are several reference's to other poems or characters from Blake's "Songs of Innocence." For example, the introduction of this poem speaks of the flutist, which comes from several of Blake's poems and is illustrated on the front piece for Songs of Innocence. The poem refers The Little Boy, from the poems "The Little Boy lost" and "The Little Boy found". The Little Girl, who appears in several poems in Songs of Experience is mentioned.. The poem also references the Lamb, from the poem "The Lamb". Together Blake incorporates these characters into a happy poem welcoming Springtime, which marks the beginning of a new year for them.
Interpretation
"Spring" is a happily written poem with a hint of rhyme. Devoted to Blake's favorite things, each stanza describing a particular thing. The first stanza is about birds and a bush, the second a little boy and a little girl, and in the final stanza the lamb and "I". This format shows the transition from innocence to a bit of romance, where the child and lamb become close. They share a touch and a kiss in this stanza, and the final line changes from the first two stanzas. With only a single word change, going from "to" to "we", representing the growth of the characters, and how they deviate from the "innocent" title given to them.
In Songs of Innocence several of the poems seem to be linked closely together. Scholars typically associate Spring with "The Echoing Green" due to fourth line in the first stanza "To welcome the Spring,".

1926 WAFL season
|
The 1926 WAFL season was the 42nd season of senior football in Perth, Western Australia.
Desire had existed upon some stakeholders to expand the competition ever since it contracted to six clubs during World War I, but because districts were not applied to the senior competition until 1925, the leading contenders, former club Midland Junction and established B-grade club Claremont-Cottesloe, were not able to attract or keep top players. Claremont, wearing the blue and gold colours of the local swimming club, were admitted at a meeting on 19 August 1925 and made their debut in 1926 but former “B” grade Claremont juniors with established WAFL clubs like Jerry Dolan and Pat Rodriguez were permitted to stay with their current clubs. Claremont had an exceedingly inexperienced team and were only able to win one game and that by a single point. Patronisingly called the “babies” in their early years in the WAFL, Claremont were not to finish above second-last in their first ten seasons, and were not helped by being the worst sufferer from the interstate recruiting drives of VFL clubs when the Great Depression began.
With the return of champion coach Phil Matson after he was widely tipped to take over the reins at , East Perth won their sixth premiership in eight seasons. West Perth, who had been last in 1924 but had a new grandstand constructed during the season at their eleven-year-old home base of Leederville, rivalled them until September before the Royals showed themselves clearly the best team in the run home. Subiaco, who had developed what many regard as the best team it ever fielded in the previous season, were disappointing until a stirring run from a mathematical chance for the four drives them to the Grand Final only to be thrashed – a scenario repeated by the Maroons in 1933.

Eduardo Maria Taussig
|
Eduardo Maria Taussig (born July 4, 1954) is an Argentinian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the bishop of San Rafael from 2004 to 2022.
Biography
Eduardo Maria Taussig was born in Buenos Aires on 9 July 1954. His family immigrated to Argentina from Bohemia, now the Czech Republic. After attending the Colegio San Pablo in Buenos Aires, he studied philosophy at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA) and theology at the Buenos Aires seminary. He was ordained to the priesthood on 3 December 1982 by Cardenal Juan Carlos Aramburu. He continued his studies, earning a philosophy degree at UCA and then a doctorate in theology at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in 1990.
Returning to Buenos Aires, he was Parish Vicar in San José del Talar, professor of philosophy and theology at UCA, chaplain of a university residence hall, and advisor of the Fundar Association and of the Consortium of Catholic Odontologists. In 2002 he was appointed parish priest of San Luca and director of the diocesan office of university pastoral service.
On 21 July 2004, Pope John Paul II appointed him bishop of San Rafael. Taussig received his episcopal consecration on 25 September from Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, later Pope Francis. He was installed as bishop on 11 October. He was viewed as a relatively conservative bishop, friendly with Archbishop Hector Aguer, for example, Pope Francis' "nemesis" when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires.
In July 2020, as a safety measure to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 virus, he instituted a rule that Holy Communion be received in the hand rather than on the tongue. When the priests and laity of the diocese protested this, Taussig identified the seminary, the largest in Argentina, as the center of opposition to his authority and closed it. In October he asked people not to join marches protesting the seminary closure. In November, Taussig faced protests during a pastoral visit where he attempted to explain his decision to close the seminary.
Pope Francis accepted his resignation as bishop of San Rafael on 5 February 2022.

Temporal discretization
|
In applied physics and engineering, temporal discretization is a mathematical technique for solving transient problems, such as flow problems.
Transient problems are often solved using computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations, which require discretizing the governing equations in both space and time. Temporal discretization involves the integration of every term in various equations over a time step ().
The spatial domain can be discretized to produce a semi-discrete form:
The first-order temporal discretization using backward differences is
And the second-order discretization is
where
is a scalar
is the value at the next time,
is the value at the current time,
is the value at the previous time,
The function is evaluated using implicit- and explicit-time integration.
Description
Temporal discretization is done by integrating the general discretized equation over time. First, values at a given control volume at time interval are assumed, and then value at time interval is found. This method states that the time integral of a given variable is a weighted average between current and future values. The integral form of the equation can be written as:
where is a weight between 0 and 1.
yields the fully explicit scheme.
yields the fully implicit scheme.
yields the Crank-Nicolson scheme.
This integration holds for any control volume and any discretized variable. The following equation is obtained when applied to the governing equation, including full discretized diffusion, convection, and source terms.
Methods for evaluating function F(φ)
After discretizing the time derivative, function remains to be evaluated. The function is now evaluated using implicit and explicit-time integration.
Implicit-time integration
This methods evaluates the function at a future time.
Formulation
The evaluation using implicit-time integration is given as:
This is called implicit integration as in a given cell is related to in neighboring cells through :
In case of implicit method, the setup is unconditionally stable and can handle large time step (). But, stability doesn't mean accuracy. Therefore, large affects accuracy and defines time resolution. But, behavior may involve physical timescale that needs to be resolved.
Explicit-time integration
This methods evaluates the function at a current time.
Formulation
The evaluation using explicit-time integration is given as:
And is referred as explicit integration since can be expressed explicitly in the existing solution values, :
Here, the time step () is restricted by the stability limit of the solver (i.e., time step is limited by the Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy condition). To be accurate with respect to time the same time step should be used in all the domain, and to be stable the time step must be the minimum of all the local time steps in the domain. This method is also referred to as "global time stepping".
Examples
Many schemes use explicit-time integration. Some of these are as follows:
Lax–Wendroff method
Runge–Kutta method

Suzuka Nakamoto
|
, known by her stage name Su-metal, is a Japanese musician, singer, and songwriter. She is best known as a member of the kawaii metal band Babymetal. She is represented by the talent agency Amuse, Inc. and has been a member of three musical groups formed by the company: Karen Girl's, Sakura Gakuin, and Babymetal.
Biography
In 2002, Nakamoto won the Grand Prix in the Image Girl contest for Jewel Drop, a line of toy cosmetics produced by Bandai, subsequently starring in several Jewel Drop commercials.
In 2006, Nakamoto was admitted to Actor's School Hiroshima (ASH). She studied with another future Sakura Gakuin member, , with whom she had been acquainted before attending the school. She also had a rivalry with Riho Sayashi, future Morning Musume member and Babymetal support dancer, as they were considered the school's top two students at the time.
In 2007, she was signed to the talent agency Amuse, Inc. after becoming a runner-up in the 2nd Star Kids Audition held by the company.
In 2008, her agency formed a trio called Karen Girl's, and Suzuka was selected to be in it. The group was introduced as a little sister of the girl trio Perfume and sang several theme songs for the anime Zettai Karen Children, disbanding on March 31, 2009, after the anime ended its run.
In April 2010, Nakamoto became a founding member of Sakura Gakuin, an idol group created by her agency. The group members also formed sub-units called “clubs”, each of which released their own songs as a unit. Suzuka became a member of the , which released songs under the name Babymetal, which also included fellow Sakura Gakuin members Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi.
In the spring of 2013, Nakamoto graduated from junior high school and therefore had to "graduate" from Sakura Gakuin (which limits girls up to the junior high age). Her graduation concert was held on March 31 at the Tokyo International Forum. Suzuka now performs with Babymetal, which had been spun off from Sakura Gakuin following her graduation, under the stage name Su-metal. Babymetal's self-titled debut album was released in February 2014.
Nakamoto ranked ninth place on the Oricon News ranking for “2018 Rankings for Anticipation of New Adults”, commenting on her "overwhelming singing ability". In October 2022, with the release of the single "Divine Attack (Shingeki)", Nakamoto was credited for the first time as a lyricist on a song by Babymetal.
Personal life
Suzuka is the youngest of three sisters. Her second sister, Himeka Nakamoto, is a former member of the idol group Nogizaka46. They studied together at the Actor's School Hiroshima (ASH) and sang together in a duo known as Tween.
Her mother works with gemstones and occasionally gives gemstone accessories to the Babymetal members as a gift. Her father played in a rock band called Hooligans.

The Middle Passage (film)
|
The Middle Passage () is a 2000 docudrama film directed by Guy Deslauriers about the trans-Atlantic voyage of black slaves from the West Coast of Africa to the Caribbean, a part of the triangular slave trade route called the Middle Passage. It portrays the transportation of slaves from Senegal to the sugar plantations of Martinique and the miserable and often fatal conditions on board the slave ship. The script is by Patrick Chamoiseau based on a scenario by Claude Chonville. It was a Martinique-Senegal-France co-production and was screened at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film has no dialogue, only a voice-over, spoken by Maka Kotto. Visually, it presents disconnected, slow-motion views of the slaves to evoke both their suffering and the resistance it produced, the source of the blues and of West Indian identity. When it was generally released in February 2001, the reviewer for La Libération said that it successfully occupied a territory "somewhere between the fiction of phantoms and the documentary of fantasies". The reviewer for Le Monde judged it "a brave but ultimately unsuccessful attempt" to fill the "[cinematic] void" on this subject.

Glenn McLean (footballer)
|
Glenn McLean (born 10 July 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne and Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
McLean, whose father Tom was a Melbourne player in the 1950s, attended Moorabbin Technical School and played his early football at Beaumaris. He came to Melbourne from Sandringham in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). A ruckman, McLean managed just three senior VFL appearances in 1980 and 1981. McLean was however regularly selected in 1982, with veteran Garry Baker on the sidelines because of a knee injury and another ruckman Michael Byrne crossing to Hawthorn. McLean played in nine of the first ten rounds that year, before breaking his wrist, but returned to finish with 15 games for the season. In the 1983 VFL season he shared ruck duties with Brownlow Medalist Peter Moore and was the only Melbourne player to appear in all 22 rounds. McLean finished fifth in Melbourne's best and fairest.
In 1984, McLean was the centre of controversy over his attempt early in the season to move from Melbourne to Collingwood. The clearance wrangle went to the supreme court and McLean was eventually let go by Melbourne, in a trade which secured the club Tony Keenan. He played in rounds 15 and 16, before losing his place in the Collingwood team. In January 1986, McLean was one of five players sacked by the club, along with Graeme Allan, Allen Eade, Tony Kelly and Jim McAllester.
McLean's brother Paul played one game for VFL club Fitzroy in 1987.

Rao Yi
|
Rao Yi (; born 1962) is a Chinese neurobiologist. A Ph.D. graduate from the University of California, San Francisco, Rao held a Helen Hay Whitney fellowship at Harvard University and was on the faculty of Washington University in St. Louis and Northwestern University before moving back to China to take up the deanship of Peking University's School of Life Sciences in 2007 . He is currently Director and Principal Investigator of IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research at Peking University.
He took office as the President of the Capital Medical University on June 25, 2019.
Personal life and education
Rao was born in Jiangxi in 1962. In college, he was friends with Mei Lin, who also became a neurobiologist later. In graduate school at Shanghai Medical University, Rao was roommates with , now also an eminent neurobiologist. At SMU, his interests began to turn to molecular neurobiology.
In 1985, Rao enrolled as a graduate student at the University of California, San Francisco. He describes the atmosphere at UCSF as far more exciting than that to which he had previously been exposed in China. His advisors were Yuh-Nung and Lily Jan. He discovered the big brain gene, which is required for a binary decision in neural development: to form a neuron or an epidermal cell. He defended his doctoral thesis on molecular and genetic analysis of intercellular communication in Drosophila neurogenesis at UCSF in 1991.
Career and research interests
After graduating from UCSF, Rao received a Helen Hay Whitney fellowship for postdoctoral research in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Harvard University, where he worked on embryonic induction in vertebrates. He then joined the faculty of Washington University in St. Louis in 1994, where he established his first laboratory. He moved to Northwestern University in Chicago in 2004, and was named the university's first Elsa A. Swanson Research Professor in 2006. Other honours he received include the Esther A. and Joseph Klingenstein Fellowship in Neuroscience in 2000, as well as the Charles B. Wilson Brain Tumor Research Excellence Award in Neuroscience. He also served on the editorial board of The Journal of Neuroscience, Developmental Biology, Developmental Brain Research, Neuroscience Research. He moved back to China in 2007 to be the dean of Peking University's School of Life Sciences. He stepped down from the deanship in 2013.
In 1997, Rao discovered that a single origin gave rise to two eyes in frog and chicken embryos . In 1999, he demonstrated that the secreted protein encoded by the Slit gene was a repellent guidance cue for axons. He has later found that Slit could repel migrating neurons, chemotactic leukocytes and brain tumor cells. Rao has uncovered major components in the signal transduction pathways for Slit and the axon attractant Netrin .
In China, Rao switched to studies of molecular and cellular mechanisms of behaviors and has found neurotransmitters required for aggression and courtship in Drosophila and the mouse.
Science funding reform advocacy
Rao Yi is one of the leading reformers of science and education in China . He participated directly in the reform or establishment of five institutes and writes about science and culture for a wide audience.
While in the U.S., he began his involvement with academia in China, working with Lu Bai and Mei Lin to establish a joint lab in Shanghai in 1995. They then joined Mu-ming Poo of UC Berkeley on a proposal to establish the Institute of Neuroscience in Shanghai in 1999. In 2002, Rao and Uli Schwarz of the Max Planck Institute established the Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for which they served as co-directors till 2005. In 2004, Xiaodong Wang, Xingwang Deng and Rao established the National Institute of Biological Sciences, for which Rao served as an Associate Director for Academic Affairs until 2009.
In 2004, Rao, Bai Lu and Chenlu Tsou advocated for changes in China's system of grants for scientific research, questioning the involvement of bureaucrats and the emphasis on connections rather than merit in a paper () which suggested alternatives to the Mid-to-Long Term Plan of Science and Technology. He levelled sharper criticisms in a 2010 Science editorial with fellow ex-American Shi Yigong () which drew widespread focus to corruption and embezzlement from research funds. The Ministry of Science and Technology disputed Shi and Rao's claims, stating that there was "zero tolerance" for misconduct.
The year after the article, both Rao and Shi failed to be named to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the first round of voting among members in its biennial membership elections. Rao and Shi's failure to be named among the 145 candidates on the longlist for membership was widely believed to be tied to their criticisms, and in response Rao announced in a post on ScienceNet.cn that he would refuse to stand for election to the CAS again in the future.
Since 2007, Rao successfully established the tenure track system in the School of Life Sciences, with international peer reviews of academic merits as the important criteria for hiring, promotion and firing .
In 2012, Rao and Shi Yigong established PKU-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences, with Rao serving as the Director of Peking part and Shi as the Director of the Tsinghua part.
In 2013, Rao established the PKU-IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research at Peking University and serves as its Founding Director.
In 2018, Rao established the Chinese Institute for Brain Research (CIBR) at Beijing and serves as its Founding Director.
In 2019, Rao was appointed the President of the Capital Medical University.
Other views
In 2009, two years after his return to China, Rao renounced his U.S. citizenship; in a written statement to the U.S. embassy in Beijing during that process, he criticized the US government for its behaviors after the September 11th attacks.
Rao went on to a major Chinese TV program in 2016 and denounced Donald Trump . Rao had failed to obtain a visa to visit the US since 2016. A large number of Chinese viewed Rao as ridiculous in denouncing Trump in 2016. However, this turned by 2020 when most Chinese were also against Trump.
Rao is a supporter of genetically modified food, and believes that even if China opposes GM food, it will simply result in the collapse of local companies while foreign companies strengthen their hold on the industry.
Rao came under criticism from both Kuomintang and Democratic Progressive Party politicians in Taiwan for his private letter relating to the addresses of Beijing and Taiwan researchers involved in scientific collaboration. In a 2011 letter to National Science Council head Lee Lou-chuang, Rao proposed that a paper in which Peking University researchers had collaborated with National Tsing Hua University researchers in Taiwan identify each institution's location without the use of political terms "People's Republic" or "Republic". This would lead to Peking University's location being listed as "Beijing, China", and NTHU as located in "Taipei, China". However, Taiwan's National Science Council requires researchers it funds to list their location either as "Taiwan" or "Taiwan, Republic of China". The director of Taiwan's National Science Council did not reply to Rao's letter, but revealed it to the general public of Taiwan instead. KMT caucus whip Chao Li-yun () conveyed the KMT's condemnation of Rao for his suggestion, while Chen Ting-fei of the DPP criticised President Ma Ying-jeou for "submitting to humiliation" by not speaking up about the matter.

After his stint with Alab and spending time in the PBA D-League, Celiz signed a deal with the GlobalPort Batang Pier for the rest of the 2017 Governors' Cup.
Return to ABL
Celiz, along with Ray Parks Jr., and Lawrence Domingo, returned to Alab. His team won the 2017–18 title over the Mono Vampire.
Bataan Risers
Celiz, along with Alab teammate Pamboy Raymundo, joined the Bataan Risers. In Bataan's 95–85 win over the Imus Bandera, he scored 15 points while hauling down seven rebounds and dishing three assists. His team went on to finish with a league-best 23–2 record. They beat the Caloocan Supremos in the quarterfinals, but lost to the Manila Stars in three games.
GenSan Warriors
Celiz then joined the GenSan Warriors the following season. He scored a career-high 27 points in an upset win over the previously unbeaten San Juan Knights. He then had 26 points (including the game-winner) in a close win over Imus. In a game against the Pasay Voyagers, he went on a personal 9–0 run which helped GenSan take control of the game and win after trailing for most of that game. He finished that game with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. In their final game of the regular season, he contributed 23 points and 16 rebounds as the Warriors ended with the 7th seed. Before the playoffs, he contributed 12 points and five rebounds in the South All-Stars' overtime win over the North. He led his team in scoring in both of their playoff games against the Bacoor City Strikers but they still lost.
Davao Occidental Tigers
In 2021, Celiz was signed by the Davao Occidental Tigers, his third team in the MPBL. During the FilBasket Subic Championship, he almost had a triple-double with 26 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists with three blocks in a double-overtime win over the San Juan Knights. He scored 10 points to help Davao get to the semifinals over Burlington EOG Sports. The Tigers then moved to the PSL.
In the inaugural game of the Pilipinas Super League (PSL), Celiz led his team with a stat line of 16 points, 10 rebounds, and three blocks in a win over the Roxas Vanguards. He then had 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in a win over the Cagayan Valley Golden Eagles.
He was set to play for them once again as the rebranded Davao Pilipinas were originally picked to represent the Philippines in the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL). However, those plans fell through and the Zamboanga Valientes became the new Philippine representatives for the ABL.

Moa Kikuchi
|
, known by her stage name Moametal, is a Japanese musician, singer, dancer. She is represented by the talent agency Amuse, Inc. She is a member of the kawaii metal group Babymetal and a former member of the idol group Sakura Gakuin.
Biography
Moa Kikuchi was signed to the talent agency Amuse, Inc. at the age of 8, after winning Semi-Grand Prix (becoming a runner-up) in the Ciao Girl Audition 2007 held by the company.
On August 2, 2010, at the age of 11, Kikuchi joined Sakura Gakuin, an idol group also managed by Amuse, Inc. She joined at the same time as another future Babymetal member, Yui Mizuno. Sakura Gakuin had not yet released its debut single. During their audition, Kikuchi and Mizuno performed a duo dance cover of "Over The Future" by Karen Girl's; two members of that group, Ayami Mutō and Suzuka Nakamoto, had also recently joined Sakura Gakuin.
Besides performing as a whole group, Sakura Gakuin members were also divided into smaller subgroups known as "clubs”. Each club had its own musical group that recorded its own songs. Kikuchi and Mizuno first became members of the "Baton Club" and its musical group Twinklestars. As backing singers and dancers, they were later teamed with lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto in a "Heavy Music" club, with the associated music group being named Babymetal. Before the formation of this club, none of the three members knew what heavy metal was.
Babymetal became an independent recording group in 2013. Kikuchi "graduated" from Sakura Gakuin in 2015, and now performs with Babymetal exclusively. Kikuchi and Mizuno have a writing credit under the name "Black Babymetal" on the first Babymetal album in 2014, having written "Song 4" together during a bus trip. The second Babymetal album, Metal Resistance, was released in 2016. A third album, Metal Galaxy, followed in 2019.
Personal life
Kikuchi is an idol otaku, which was notably mentioned as part of her introduction in the Sakura Gakuin song "Mezase! Super Lady". Her favorite group is °C-ute, and she is acquainted with her favorite former member of the group, Airi Suzuki. In interviews, she has also mentioned Bring Me the Horizon, Limp Bizkit, and Metallica as her favorite metal bands. In her spare time, Kikuchi also likes to watch anime and her favorite show is Love Live!, which is a series about idols.
Kikuchi is an only child. She has revealed that her mother was also approached by a talent agent as a student, but in the end never joined the entertainment industry.

, formerly known by her stage name Yuimetal, is a Japanese musician, singer, and dancer. She is a former member of the kawaii metal group Babymetal and the idol group Sakura Gakuin. In October 2018, she left Babymetal due to an undisclosed illness. She is managed by the Amuse, Inc. talent agency.
Biography
On August 2, 2010, at the age of 11, Mizuno joined Sakura Gakuin, an idol group managed by the talent agency Amuse, Inc. She joined at the same time as another future Babymetal member, Moa Kikuchi. Sakura Gakuin had not yet released its debut single. During their audition, Mizuno and Kikuchi performed a duo dance cover of "Over The Future" by Karen Girl's, two former members of which, Ayami Mutō and Suzuka Nakamoto, had also recently joined Sakura Gakuin.
Besides performing as a whole group, Sakura Gakuin members were also divided into smaller subgroups known as "clubs". Each club had its own musical group that recorded its own songs. Mizuno and Kikuchi first became members of the "Baton Club" and its musical group Twinklestars. As backing singers and dancers, they were later teamed with lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto in a "Heavy Music" club, with the associated music group being named Babymetal. Before the formation of this club, none of the three members knew what heavy metal was.
In 2012, Babymetal became an independent recording group. Mizuno "graduated" from Sakura Gakuin in 2015, and from then on performed with Babymetal exclusively. Mizuno and Kikuchi have a writing credit under the name "Black Babymetal" on the first Babymetal album in 2014, having written "Song 4" together during a bus trip. The second Babymetal album, Metal Resistance, was released in 2016.
Following a leave from the show Legend "S" Baptism XX, Mizuno was absent from Babymetal's tour of the United States in May 2018, with no advance warning. Amid fan speculation on Mizuno's status with the group, a representative of 5B Management, the American management company representing Babymetal, replied to an inquiry from Alternative Press Magazine: "Yuimetal remains a member of the band, but she is not on this current U.S. tour." However, she was also absent from Babymetal's European tour in June 2018. On October 19, 2018, Babymetal officially announced that Yuimetal would not be joining the band for the next phase of their tour and would no longer be a member of the group due to poor health. Mizuno released a statement shortly after about her decision to leave Babymetal, explaining that she may go on to pursue a solo career in the future.
Personal life
In third grade, Mizuno was a fan of Karen Girl's, Suzuka Nakamoto's previous group, and had dreamed of joining the group after their music helped her endure the "life-threatening" illness of a family member. The group disbanded, however, and she attended the group's farewell concert and met all three members. During the Legend "D" concert in 2012, Babymetal performed a cover of the Karen Girl's song "Over the Future". Mizuno says that moment was when her "dreams came true".
She and her family are also close friends with Karen Girl's member Ayami Muto and her family; Mizuno and Muto were both members of Sakura Gakuin.
Mizuno is known for being fond of tomatoes and likes to eat them whole. She has stated that she would want to eat tomatoes even when the world is ending. Mizuno has specified in one of her Sakura Gakuin diary entry that she loves to stargaze. She loves to look up to the stars during her commute time from school to home. She has also stated in her diary entry that she loves to read books about constellations as well. Mizuno has two brothers, one older and one two years younger than her.

Data in use
|
Data in use is an information technology term referring to active data which is stored in a non-persistent digital state typically in computer random-access memory (RAM), CPU caches, or CPU registers.
Scranton, PA data scientist Daniel Allen in 1996 proposed Data in use as a complement to the terms data in transit and data at rest which together define the three states of digital data.
Alternative definitions
Data in use refers to data in computer memory. Some cloud software as a service (SaaS) providers refer to data in use as any data currently being processed by applications, as the CPU and memory are utilized.
Concerns
Because of its nature, data in use is of increasing concern to businesses, government agencies and other institutions. Data in use, or memory, can contain sensitive data including digital certificates, encryption keys, intellectual property (software algorithms, design data), and personally identifiable information. Compromising data in use enables access to encrypted data at rest and data in motion. For example, someone with access to random access memory can parse that memory to locate the encryption key for data at rest. Once they have obtained that encryption key, they can decrypt encrypted data at rest.
Threats to data in use can come in the form of cold boot attacks, malicious hardware devices, rootkits and bootkits.
Full memory encryption
Encryption, which prevents data visibility in the event of its unauthorized access or theft, is commonly used to protect Data in Motion and Data at Rest and increasingly recognized as an optimal method for protecting Data in Use.
There have been multiple projects to encrypt memory. Microsoft Xbox systems are designed to provide memory encryption and the company PrivateCore presently has a commercial software product vCage to provide attestation along with full memory encryption for x86 servers. Several papers have been published highlighting the availability of security-enhanced x86 and ARM commodity processors. In that work, an ARM Cortex-A8 processor is used as the substrate on which a full memory encryption solution is built. Process segments (for example, stack, code or heap) can be encrypted individually or in composition. This work marks the first full memory encryption implementation on a mobile general-purpose commodity processor. The system provides both confidentiality and integrity protections of code and data which are encrypted everywhere outside the CPU boundary.
For x86 systems, AMD has a Secure Memory Encryption (SME) feature introduced in 2017 with Epyc. Intel has promised to deliver its Total Memory Encryption (TME) feature in an upcoming CPU.
CPU-based key storage
Operating system kernel patches such as TRESOR and Loop-Amnesia modify the operating system so that CPU registers can be used to store encryption keys and avoid holding encryption keys in RAM. While this approach is not general purpose and does not protect all data in use, it does protect against cold boot attacks. Encryption keys are held inside the CPU rather than in RAM so that data at rest encryption keys are protected against attacks that might compromise encryption keys in memory.
Enclaves
Enclaves enable an “enclave” to be secured with encryption in RAM so that enclave data is encrypted while in RAM but available as clear text inside the CPU and CPU cache. Intel Corporation has introduced the concept of “enclaves” as part of its Software Guard Extensions. Intel revealed an architecture combining software and CPU hardware in technical papers published in 2013.
Cryptographic protocols
Several cryptographic tools, including secure multi-party computation and homomorphic encryption, allow for the private computation of data on untrusted systems. Data in use could be operated upon while encrypted and never exposed to the system doing the processing.
See also
Also see Alternative Definition section of Data At Rest
Homomorphic encryption is a form of encryption that allows computation on ciphertexts.
Zero-knowledge proof is a method by which one party (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that they know a value x, without conveying any information apart from the fact that they know the value x.
Secure multi-party computation is a method for parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private.
Non-interactive zero-knowledge proof (NIZKs) are zero-knowledge proofs that require no interaction between the prover and verifier.
Format-preserving encryption (FPE), refers to encrypting in such a way that the output (the ciphertext) is in the same format as the input (the plaintext)
Blinding is a cryptography technique by which an agent can provide a service to a client in an encoded form without knowing either the real input or the real output.

Eliud Poligrates
|
Eliud G. Poligrates (born November 29, 1987), also known as Eloy Poligrates, is a Filipino former professional basketball player. He played three years of college basketball for Southwestern University, which ended with his lifetime ban from the CESAFI due to moonlighting in another league. He then played in Liga Pilipinas and the PBA D-League before he was drafted by the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters in the 2013 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) draft. He later played for PBA teams Air21 Express and Kia Carnival. Poligrates found success in his return to the PBA D-League, winning the 2015 Foundation Cup championship with the Cafe France Bakers and the 2019 Foundation Cup Most Valuable Player (MVP) award with Marinerong Pilipino. He also holds the record for the most points scored in a single PBA D-League game, with 67.
Poligrates also had stints in the Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League (PCBL), Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), and the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup.
Career
College career
Poligrates' first basketball tournaments were in local leagues in his hometown the Camotes Islands, as well as nearby Danao. He was scouted by the Cebu City-based Southwestern University (SWU) Cobras of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (CESAFI). However, his three-year career at SWU ended in 2009 when he was caught moonlighting in a local league, generically referred to as ligang labas. The offense, and his initial denial of it, led to a lifetime ban from the CESAFI, despite his school's appeal.
Liga Pilipinas and PBA D-League
Poligrates then played in Liga Pilipinas, initially for Cebu-based team M. Lhuillier-Cebu Niños, with whom he won the Conference III championship in 2009. Afterwards, he moved to neighboring team Mandaue-Cebu Landmasters before joining the Misamis Oriental Meteors. He then had the opportunity to play in Manila for the Cagayan Rising Suns of the PBA D-League. The Rising Suns had scouted him in another ligang labas.
Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)
In the 2013 PBA draft, Poligrates was selected by the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters with the 27th overall pick. He scored 13 points on his PBA debut, an 89–80 win over the Meralco Bolts at the Cebu Coliseum. Shortly before the end of 2013–14 PBA Philippine Cup elimination round, he and teammate Sean Anthony were traded to Air21 Express in exchange for KG Canaleta.
On November 27, 2014, he was again traded to Kia Sorento in exchange for Rudy Lingganay.
PBA D-League championship and MVP; stints in other leagues
In April 2015, Poligrates was signed by Euro-Med Laboratories of the Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League (PCBL) after a six-month absence from commercial basketball. In his debut with the team, he scored 17 points in their 93–81 win over the Foton Toplanders.
Later that year, he returned to the PBA D-League with the Cafe France Bakers. In June 2015, the Bakers won their first PBA D-League title over favorites Hapee Fresh Fighters in the 2015 Foundation Cup finals. After his stint with Cafe France, he played ligang labas in Visayas and Mindanao for around four years.
In April 2019, Poligrates was signed by hometown team Cebu City Sharks for the 2019–20 season of the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL). However, he left the Sharks by mutual consent in August, after being sanctioned for training with Marinerong Pilipino of the PBA D-League despite having a contract with the Sharks. With Marinerong Pilipino, Poligrates set the PBA D-League record for most points scored in a game, scoring 67 points in their 141–97 win over the iWalk Chargers on August 26, 2019. In the 2019 Foundation Cup, he led Marinerong Pilipino to a sweep of the elimination round followed by their first Finals appearance. Averaging 21 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists, he earned the conference's Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. However, they lost to BRT Sumisip Basilan-St. Clare in game 3 of the best of three finals series.
In November 2019, Poligrates returned to the MPBL with Valenzuela City but played only four games for them. In March 2020, he joined fellow MPBL team Rizal Golden Coolers. In 2021, he played for ALZA-Alayon Zamboanga del Sur of the Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup.

Personal life
In 2016, Poligrates and seven other individuals were sued by two men for physical injuries. They were allegedly involved in a brawl during a fiesta in his hometown, the Camotes Islands, back in October that year. On January 14, 2020, Poligrates was arrested for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend outside a convenience store in Cebu City. He was released later that month after the ex-girlfriend recanted her accusation through an affidavit. She explained that they had a verbal argument, but Poligrates did not harm her physically.
On May 30, 2023, Poligrates was shot on his left shoulder by a 15-year-old boy in Duljo Fatima, Cebu City. According to Poligrates, the boy shot him after he turned down the boy's solicitation of ₱20. Meanwhile, the boy claimed he retaliated against Poligrates, who allegedly choked him the week before. Poligrates proceeded to file charges against the boy.

Margarida Cabral de Melo
|
Margarida Cabral de Melo (1570–1631) was a Portuguese noblewoman related to the discoverer of Brazil Pedro Álvares Cabral. In 1599 she settled with her husband and children in Buenos Aires. She was one of the most distinguished women in the Río de la Plata, in the early 17th century, owned of luxury homes, farms and vineyards.
Her family belonged to illustrious Portuguese lineages, including her royal ancestry through her great-great-grandmother, Dona Beatriz de Meneses, 2nd Countess of Loulé. She and her husband were the ancestors of Argentine politicians and military, among them Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear, President of the Argentine Republic between 1922 and 1928.
Biography
Margarida was born in Santa Maria Island, the daughter of Matias Nunes Cabral and Maria Simões de Melo, belonging to a noble Portuguese family. She was married to Amador Vaz de Alpoim, son of Estevan de Alpoim and Isabel Velha. She and her family arrived in Buenos Aires from Rio de Janeiro, where they had lived for five years.
Margarida Cabral de Melo and her sister Inês Nunes Cabral (wife of Gil Gonçalves de Moura) were the first women to have political and economic influence in the Río de la Plata. Margarida was perhaps the richest woman in Buenos Aires towards the beginning of 1600. She possessed one of the most luxurious houses in the city, with mahogany furniture, carved silverware, tapestry and among its jewelry, a gold parrot.
The house of the family Cabral de Alpoim was located at the intersection of the streets Victoria and Balcarce, current neighborhood of Monserrat.
Margarida and her family were linked to the beginnings of cattle raising (cimarron cattle) in the current Argentine territory. She was the owner of a ranch located in the town of Luján, which was managed by her son Manuel Cabral de Alpoim.
Her husband died in 1617 being buried in the city. He had rendered military services to the Spanish Empire, taking part in some military expeditions led by Hernando Arias de Saavedra.
She had many sons and daughters, including General Amador Báez de Alpoim, who served as mayor of Buenos Aires, lieutenant governor of Santa Fe and Corrientes, and Matías Cabral de Melo y Alpoim (1593-1645) a well-known presbyter of Buenos Aires.
Ancestors and descendants
Margarita Cabral de Melo and his sister were relatives of Pedro Álvares Cabral, discoverer of Brazil and Gonçalo Velho Cabral, discoverer of Azores. His most notorious ancestors were Álvaro Martins Homem 3°Captain of Praia, and João Fernandes de Andrade, possibly a descendant of Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall.
It is proven that his family descended by several genealogical lines of the kings of Portugal, including Afonso III and John I of Portugal. Through these royal ancestors, their lineage is linked to the House of Plantagenet and Castile.
She and her sister were the ancestors of various historical figures linked to the politics and culture of the Río de la Plata like Juan Manuel de Rosas, governor of the province of Buenos Aires between 1835 and 1852, and Justo José de Urquiza, first President of the Argentine Confederation.
Other famous descendants of this family include José Gervasio Artigas, a Uruguayan patriot who participated in the War of Independence, and Carlos María de Alvear, a military and politician who served as Supreme Director of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata in 1815.
His sister Inés Núñez Cabral and Gil Gonçalves de Moura were the ancestors of the writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges.

Xyloiuloidea
|
Xyloiuloidea is an extinct superfamily of millipedes that existed from the Lower Devonian through the Upper Pennsylvanian period in Europe and North America.
Description
Xyloiuloids are more or less cylindrical, with sternites, pleurites, and tergites of each body segment fused into a complete ring. Adults possess 40 to 50 body rings. The legs are no longer than half the height of the body. The body surface is marked by small parallel grooves (striations), which vary in surface coverage between xyloiuloid families.
Taxonomy
Xyloiuloidea comprises four families:
†Gaspestriidae
†Nyraniidae
†Plagiascetidae
†Xyloiulidae
The taxonomic history of Xyloiuloidea begins with Orator F. Cook designating the family Xyloiulidae in 1895. In 1969, Richard L. Hoffman established the families Nyraniidae and Plagiascetidae, and placed all three extinct families in the extant (still-living) order Spirobolida, as suborder "Xyloiulidea". In 2006, two new species were described and placed in the new family Gaspestriidae, and group was reassigned as a superfamily of uncertain status (incertae sedis) within the juliform millipedes, a group that includes the cylindrical, fused-bodied orders Spirobolida, Spirostreptida, and Julida.

Uncle Jed
|
Uncle Jed is an Australian funk, reggae and jazz band. Formed in 2005 among family members, the lineup was Danny Stitt on bass and lead guitars, his brother, Shannon Stitt on keyboards and their cousin, Laura Stitt on lead vocals. In November 2013 the trio won the seventh season of the TV reality show, Australia's Got Talent. A self-titled album was issued in May 2010. Three of Uncle Jed's singles are cover versions, "Brother" (August 2013), "Give Me Love" (October) and "Just Give Me a Reason" (November), and all peaked in the ARIA Singles Chart top 50. The group briefly changed the band name to Luna Grand in May 2015 and released an extended play, Patience Love, in June.
History
Uncle Jed was formed in 2005 in Sydney by Danny Stitt on bass and lead guitars, his brother, Shannon Stitt on keyboards and their cousin, Laura Stitt on lead vocals. The band's namesake, Jed Stitt, is Danny and Shannon's uncle and Laura's father. Uncle Jed released a self-titled album on 10 May 2010 on Vitamin Records. Lisa Moscatelli of The AU Review caught their support gig at Notes Live in July 2011 and described how the group, "opened the night with a beautiful blend of funk, reggae and jazz songs playing some of their funky originals and a mix of cover songs... One of the main highlights of Uncle Jed is that they didn't need to make much of an effort to make a positive impression. Their chilled-back style was sufficient for one to grow fond of their music, which made it a perfect way to end the week." Laura provided backing vocals for Jessica Mauboy.
Uncle Jed peaked at No. 74 on the ARIA Albums Chart on 18 November 2013, the week after their victory on TV reality quest, Australia's Got Talents seventh season. The group were rewarded with $250,000 for their victory.
Ahead of the album, in August 2013, they had issued a cover version of Matt Corby's 2011 track, "Brother", which they used for their audition on Australia's Got Talent. Their version peaked at No. 36 on the ARIA Singles Chart in November. Their second single, "Give Me Love" (October), is a cover of Ed Sheeran's 2012 song, which they performed on Australia's Got Talents semi-final – it reached No. 39. They quickly followed with their third single, a cover of Pink's track, "Just Give Me a Reason" (November), which made No. 49. All three singles were still in the top 100 when their self-titled album appeared in the related chart.
In May 2015 they changed their name to Luna Grand. Under the new name, they released a seven-track extended play, Patience Love, on 12 June 2015, which peaked at No. 8 on the ARIA Hit Seekers Albums chart. By November of that year they had reverted to their original name to release a five-track EP, Acoustic Versions. Uncle Jed issued another album, The Christmas Album, with standard festive season carols.

Black Friday (South Park)
|
"Black Friday" is the seventh episode in the seventeenth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 244th episode of the series overall, it premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on November 13, 2013. The episode is the first of a three-episode story arc, which continues with "A Song of Ass and Fire", and concludes with "Titties and Dragons". The plot, which employs themes and motifs from the TV series Game of Thrones, concerns the characters' anticipation of a Black Friday sale, with Randy Marsh taking a temporary job as a mall security guard to gain an advantage over the holiday shopping crowds, and the children of South Park split into two factions over whether to collectively purchase bargain-priced Xbox One or PlayStation 4 video game consoles to facilitate their online group gaming.
This episode was submitted for, and received, a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour) at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
The episode was rated TV-MA-LSV in the United States.
Plot
The security management at South Park Mall briefs its guards on the upcoming Black Friday shopping day. The security captain, a grizzled veteran with a large scar running down his face, tells the guards that this year, the mall is offering an 80% discount to the first 30 people in the mall, which is certain to again incite violence among shoppers. Among the guards is Randy Marsh, who has taken the temporary job not to earn extra holiday money as he says, but to acquire the discounts ahead of the crowds that will camp outside the mall.
Meanwhile, the boys of South Park are dressed in medieval garb while engaging in role playing inspired by Game of Thrones, and are themselves anticipating Black Friday. Cartman informs his classmates of the 80% discount, and says if they work together, they can all purchase one of the new gaming systems so that they can play online games together. The children, however, become split over whether to purchase Xbox Ones or PlayStation 4s. Kyle and Stan find themselves on opposite sides of the schism, with Kyle allied with Cartman's Xbox One faction, and Stan on the PS4 side. The two factions then begin recruiting other children to increase their ranks. Cartman, strolling through the "Garden of Andros" with Kenny, whose character is "Lady McCormick", tells him that they are only recruiting Xbox One loyalists to help them get inside the mall so they both can get cheap Xbox Ones. He wants Kenny to use his influence to "take care" of Kyle, should his loyalty to their faction falter. The garden is then revealed to be the elaborately landscaped back yard of an elderly South Park resident, who orders the children to stop trespassing on his property. This gag recurs throughout the three-part storyline, with Cartman playing different participants in the conflict against each other, only for the old man to inform them of this from his window, much to Cartman's irritation.
The mall's security is further daunted by the news that a new Tickle Me Elmo called "Stop Touching Me Elmo" is being released in time for Black Friday, which leads to shoppers camping outside even earlier than anticipated. The head of Sony has also announced a special bundle to help entice customers to side with PS4. To address increasing crowds, the mall's security tries to hand out wristbands so shoppers can hold places in line, but this leads to a brawl in which the captain is fatally stabbed. Cradling his dying superior, Randy reveals his true motives for having taken the job. The captain notes that Randy now knows how serious Black Friday is, and peels off the scar over his left eye, revealing it to be a prosthetic appliance. Before dying, he places it on Randy's face, telling Randy that regardless of his early motives, he is the captain now, and must now protect the town. Inspired by the new responsibility, Randy tells his fellow guards that they now have work to do. At the same time, Stan rallies his assembled army, telling them that Lady McCormick has joined them to make sure that the winner of the console war is the PS4.
Production
From the beginning of season seventeen's production cycle, South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone wanted to ensure that there was a two- or three-part storyline somewhere in this season because they have always enjoyed doing them as they allow for a different style of writing. They decided to actually start a multiple-episode storyline with this episode after coming off "Ginger Cow", which they felt could have easily been expanded into two or three episodes. The fact that "Ginger Cow" had to be compressed into the standard length of an episode left Parker and Stone wanting to doing something bigger even more. With four episodes left to be produced for this season, Parker and Stone contemplated making a four-part storyline but wrapped it up at three.
As for what the three-part storyline would be about, Parker and Stone said that they had been talking about doing a Game of Thrones-themed episode for a long time since they both watched the show and found many things to satirize. Butters' scenes in the three episodes which centered on his understanding of Game of Thrones were the first jokes that were visualized by Parker and Stone as being one of the running gags; they also helped solidify Game of Thrones role in the plot. Once they decided to center the episodes around Black Friday, the Game of Thrones angle became a great way to tie both stories together as Parker and Stone felt Black Friday was something that would really fit well in Game of Thrones. They soon felt that they were onto a big idea that would be received well by audiences.
Before the Game of Thrones and Black Friday elements became part of the episode, the original premise of the storyline was focused on the large amount of cut content from South Park: The Stick of Truth, a video game which Parker and Stone were heavily involved in the development of. However, as the episode became more and more focused on Game of Thrones and Black Friday, the aspects which were lifted from the game were almost entirely scrapped.
Reception
"Black Friday" received critical acclaim. Max Nicholson of IGN gave the episode a score of 8.7 out of 10, writing: "Cleverly fusing elements of the Next-Gen Console War with HBO's Game of Thrones, 'Black Friday' was easily one of the best South Park episodes we've seen in Season 17."
Ryan McGee of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A−, praising the Game of Thrones parody, saying, "Why wrap Game of Thrones in all this? There's no real reason to do so, except that it's really amusing and offers up a great way to frame the overall narrative. What makes the approach really work is that 'Black Friday' is not a one-for-one parody so much as a thematic one."

Jonathan Bydlak
|
Jonathan Bydlak (born August 23, 1983) is director of the Fiscal and Budget Policy Project at the R Street Institute. He was previously founder and president of the Coalition to Reduce Spending and the Institute for Spending Reform, organizations that support spending reform and reduction. He is the primary promoter of SpendingTracker.org, a real-time government spending tracker, and previously spearheaded the "Reject the Debt Pledge," a pledge signed by candidates and elected officials who promise not to increase spending that is not offset elsewhere and not to vote for budgets that do not lead to balance. In 2020, the Institute officially merged its efforts with those of the R Street Institute.
Early life
Bydlak grew up in Westfield, Massachusetts, and enrolled in Princeton University in 2001. Following a career in the financial sector as a hedge fund analyst, Bydlak joined the Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2008, serving in the capacity of fundraising director. He is also the founder of an independent consulting firm, Bydlak & Associates, LLC, whose clients ranged from federal and state political candidates to advocacy organizations and other non-profits.
Public life
Bydlak has written for USA Today, Rare, The Hill, Forbes, and others. Red Alert Politics has profiled Bydlak, characterizing him as the "next Grover Norquist". This comparison was echoed by ReasonTV's Nick Gillespie, who profiled Bydlak in a piece which characterized him as "The Grover Norquist of Spending Cuts." Business Insider and The Fiscal Times have profiled Bydlak as well. John Stossel wrote a column highlighting the work of the Coalition in a syndicated column featured in Human Events, Reason Magazine, Townhall.com, The Washington Examiner, and the New Hampshire Union Leader
Bydlak has been a featured speaker at Campaign for Liberty's Liberty Political Action Conference, sharing the stage with speakers including Rand Paul, Rep. Thomas Massie, and Morton Blackwell.
Coalition to Reduce Spending
In 2012, Bydlak founded the Coalition to Reduce Spending (CRS).
The primary policy goal of CRS was to advocate for reduced government spending, with advocacy centered upon its Reject the Debt candidate pledge and SpendingTracker.org, which tracks federal government spending. The latter is now a project of the R Street Institute.
The Coalition is funded by private donors.
Reject the Debt Pledge
Notable pledge signers include Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Mark Sanford (SC-1), and Rep. Jim Banks (IN-3).
SpendingTracker.org
In February 2017, the Coalition launched a database tracking federal spending votes in real time. The tool is hosted publicly at SpendingTracker.org and cross-references Congressional Budget Office scores and public voting record to assign each member of Congress a unique "number," or total new spending he or she is responsible for. The tool has been profiled by FreedomWorks, Watchdog.org, the Cato Institute's Daily Podcast, BlazeTV, and others.

Neon Boots Dancehall & Saloon

Neon Boots Dancehall & Saloon is a Country and Western bar/honky tonk that was founded as the Esquire Ballroom in 1955 by Raymond Proske in Houston, Texas, at 11410 Hempstead northwest of downtown Houston. In the 1970s and 1980s the club was considered the main rival to Gilley's Club across town in Pasadena.
The Esquire Ballroom closed in 1995 and remained unused for a number of years. The nightclub reopened as Neon Boots Dancehall & Saloon in August 2013 as the largest country and western genre bar in the Southern United States, the second largest country and western dancehall and bar in the state of Texas, and largest country and western bar in Houston. It continues to host music acts, comedy shows, charity events and more on the same stage that it used as the previous Esquire Ballroom. The venue is very welcoming to everyone and has a great mainstream following as well.
On March 28, 2014, USA Today named Neon Boots one of the top ten dance halls in Texas in their "10 Great Places" series.

Willie Nelson
After his son Billy was born in 1958, Willie Nelson and his family moved to Houston. On the way, Nelson stopped by the Esquire Ballroom to sell his original songs to house band singer Larry Butler. Butler refused to purchase the song "Mr. Record Man" for $10, instead giving Nelson a six-night job singing in the club and a $50 loan to rent an apartment. Nelson rented an apartment near Houston, in Pasadena, Texas, where he also worked at the radio station as the sign-on disk jockey.
Nelson was inspired to write the song "Night Life" during one of his trips from his home in Pasadena to his work, singing at the Esquire. Due to financial issues, Nelson sold the song to guitar instructor Paul Buskirk for $150. The song was rejected by Pappy Daily, who made Nelson's studio recordings at the time. Daily believed that the song was not country. Due to the amount of money that Nelson received for the song, he decided to record the song in another studio. To avoid legal actions, it was recorded as "Nite Life" under the artist name of "Hugh Nelson and Paul Buskirk and the Little Men".
In theatre
The 1988 Broadway musical Always... Patsy Cline takes place in the bar. Produced by Ted Swindley in 1988, the story was taken and expanded from a section of the Cline biography, Honky Tonk Angel, written by Ellis Nassour. Always... Patsy Cline chronicles the real-life story of her encounter in 1961 with Louise Seger, a fan and Mississippi native who arrived early at The Esquire Ballroom in Houston for Cline's performance. In a chance encounter before the show, the two met and formed a lasting friendship.

Jules Sottas (22 May 1866, Paris – 28 September 1945, Paris) was a French neurologist.
He studied medicine in Paris, and worked in the laboratories at the Hospice de Bicêtre and the Salpêtrière. In 1894 he received his doctorate in medicine. In Paris, he was an assistant to neurologist Joseph Jules Dejerine, with whom he collaborated on a number of studies, the best known being the eponymous "Dejerine–Sottas syndrome". The following are a list of various medical papers published by Dejerine and Sottas:
Sur un cas de syringomyélie unilatérale et à début tardif suivi d'autopsie, 1892 - A case of unilateral syringomyelia with a late onset.

In addition to his neurological research, Sottas was the author of several works with historical themes, the following being a few of his better known writings in this field:
Histoire de la Compagnie royale des Indes orientales, 1664-1719, 1905 - History of the Royal East India Company.
L'astrolabe-quadrant du Musée des antiquités de Rouen, 1910 - The Astrolabe Quadrant at the Museum of Antiquities in Rouen.

English College of St Gregory
|
The English College of St Gregory was a Roman Catholic seminary in Seville, Spain. It was founded by the English Jesuit Robert Persons in 1592, when Roman Catholicism was illegal in England, to provide his native country with priests.
The dedication of the college to St Gregory recalls the Gregorian mission of AD 596, which resulted in the Anglo-Saxons being converted to Christianity.
In 1596, in Seville, Persons wrote Memorial for the Reformation of England, concerning how England might be returned to the Roman Catholic faith. Teaching staff included Richard Smith who developed different ideas from Persons about the project. Smith returned to England in 1603.
Persons died in Rome in 1610, but the institution continued, although short of funds.
It was supported by the Jesuits until 1767 when Charles III, in a surprise move, expelled the order from Spain. Its assets were then transferred to the English College in Valladolid, which had also been founded by Persons. This continued to function under the protection of the Spanish crown.
