The Lewis gun (or Lewis automatic machine gun or Lewis automatic rifle) is a First World War–era light machine gun.

History 
The Lewis gun was invented by U.S. Army colonel Isaac Newton Lewis in 1911, based on initial work by Samuel Maclean.

The start of the First World War increased demand for the Lewis gun. BSA began production, under the name Model 1914. The design was officially approved for service on 15 October 1915 under the name "Gun, Lewis, .303-cal." No Lewis guns were produced in Belgium during the war; all manufacture was carried out by BSA in England and the Savage Arms Company in the US.

Production 

The Lewis was produced by BSA and Savage Arms during the war. The two versions were very similar, but there were enough differences  to stop them being completely interchangeable. This problem was fixed by the time of the Second World War.

Design details 

The Lewis gun was gas operated. 

The Lewis gun used a pan magazine holding 47 or 97 rounds.
The gun fired about 500–600 rounds per minute. It weighed 28 lb (12.7 kg), only about half as much as a typical medium machine gun of the era, such as the Vickers machine gun. It could be carried and used by one soldier.

Service

First World War 

During the first days of the war, the Belgian Army had put in service 20 prototypes (5 in 7.65×53mm and 15 in .303) for the defense of Namur.

Aircraft use 

The Lewis was the first machine gun fired from an airplane. On 7 June 1912, Captain Charles Chandler of the US Army fired a  Lewis gun from the foot-bar of a Wright Model B Flyer.

Nicholas Alahverdian (born 1987/1988) is an American sex offender who faked his own death in 2020.

Life
Alahverdian said that he was abused as a minor while under the care of the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth & Families. Over this, he sued the organization in 2011 in federal court, then withdrew the lawsuit when Rhode Island waived his ~$200,000 medical fees.

In 2008, Alahverdian, then known as Nicholas Rossi, was convicted of "sexual imposition" and public indecency over an incident with another student at Ohio's Sinclair Community College, where he studied in. Alahverdian requested that the trial be restarted based on new evidence from the Internet. A computer expert analyzed the new evidence in 2011. He was 90% confident that it was fake, pointing to a date error which only a human would make, not a computer. The judge refused Alahverdian's request for the trial as the new evidence was "not credible".
Personal life
In 2015, Alahverdian was married for the second time; the couple ended their marriage by 2017, after a court ruled that Alahverdian was "guilty of gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty" towards his wife.

In January 2020, Alahverdian said that he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. According to his family, Alahverdian died of the disease on February 29, 2020. His wife said that Alahverdian would be cremated and that Alahverdian's remains would be scattered at sea. Upon Alahverdian's death, WPRI reported that he had moved out of the United States around four years earlier, with his wife saying that it was because they were not safe in the United States.
Faked death
In July 2020, Rhode Island State Police looked into whether Alahverdian's reported death was real; no conclusion was reached by January 2021. The investigation occurred due to claims that Alahverdian was still alive, plus a warrant against Alahverdian as he was accused of failing to register as a sex offender in Rhode Island due to his 2008 conviction.
A person claiming to be Alahverdian's widow denied that he had faked his death, but also refused to provide copies of his death certificate to the media. According to a Rhode Island pastor, he had been contacted by a person claiming to be Alahverdian's widow, who had requested the holding of a mass in tribute to Alahverdian. The pastor said that a Rhode Island policeman told him not to hold the event, and that the policeman also said that Alahverdian had faked his death, with the person claiming to be Alahverdian's widow possibly being Alahverdian himself using a "device that can change people's voices". A person claiming to be Alahverdian's widow, 'Louise', also sent an email in January 2021 to The Providence Journal, which included criticism of people who had past connections to Alahverdian, including the victim of Alahverdian's sexual offenses, the police officer who took Alahverdian's sexual offenses case, the judge who oversaw Alahverdian's sexual offenses case, and Alahverdian's former foster parents.

Net Nanny is a content-control software created by Gordon Ross in 1994 that allows parents to monitor and control their children's phones, tablets, and PCs. It also can block desktop games.

Features 
The original version of Net Nanny released in 1994 was a web browser that could control web and IRC content, block images, and mask profanity. Newer versions include the ability to
 Block websites based on categories or on key-words
 Receive alerts when the child accesses blocked content
 View all activities in a "Family Feed"
 Pause or disable internet on a child's device
 Set daily screen time limits
The software blocks websites by the content on the website rather than by their URL. This prevents children from accessing inappropriate content using a web proxy.
History 
Net Nanny was created and started by Gordon Ross in 1994 in Vancouver and moved to Bellevue, Washington in 2000. He became inspired to create a parental control service after viewing a sting operation on a pedophile soliciting a child online. In 1998, the company launched BioPassword, a bio metric security access system based on technology it acquired from Stanford University. On November 14, 2002, Net Nanny filed for bankruptcy and was sold to BioNet Systems, LLC, a maker of bio metric security software in Issaquah, Washington. LookSmart Ltd, a commercial web search company based in San Francisco acquired Net Nanny for $5.3 million in stock and cash in April 2004.
In January of 2007, Net Nanny was bought by ContentWatch, Inc and was moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. In June 2012, Net Nanny was made available to iOS and Android users. These mobile apps allowed parents to view and manage the applications on the device. In 2013, Net Nanny Social was launched to allow parents to monitor their children's social media activity and to protect against cyber bullying, cyber stalking, grooming by sexual predators, and the spread of sensitive images and videos.

In 2016, Zift Software, LLC, acquired Net Nanny from ContentWatch and moved to Philadelphia. On May 28, 2019, Zift's applications were rebranded as the Net Nanny 10 that is currently in use today.

Abdalla Hamdok   (also transliterated: Abdallah, ; born 1 January 1956) is a Sudanese politician. He was the 15th Prime Minister of Sudan. He first took office on 21 August 2019.

On October 25, 2021, he was arrested by armed men during a coup and taken to an unknown location. The European Union, the United States and other countries have said that they continued to recognise the Hamdok cabinet as "the constitutional leaders" of Sudan. A month later on 21 November, a deal was made in which all political prisoners including Hamdok were released with Hamdok becoming prime minister again. However, he resigned on 2 January 2022 as protests against the military coup in the country got more intense.

Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan (; born 11 July 1960) is a Sudanese politician, soldier and a former policeman and teacher who is the 8th and the current President of Sudan since 25 October 2021. Following the 2019 Sudanese coup d'état which overthrew his predecessor, Omar al-Bashir, in April 2019, Burhan became the acting president until 2021. Before, he was the First Vice President of Sudan from 2019 to 2021 and was also the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council from 2019 to 2021, Chairman of the  Transitional Military Council from April to August 2019, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Sudanese Armed Forces since 2019.

The 2020 Juba Agreement allowed Burhan to continue to lead the Sovereignty Council until in October 2021 where the council will be dissolved rather than as planned in February 2021. After the council was dissolved, Burhan declared himself President.
Burhan led a coup d'état in October 2021 which deposed prime minister Abdalla Hamdok. However, a month later in November, Hamdock and Burhan signed an agreement to make Hamdock as prime minister of Sudan again until Hamdok resigned again in January 2022.

In May 2019, al-Burhan's first international trip as president was to Egypt to meet President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. His second visit was to the United Arab Emirates.

In April 2023, Burhan's vice president, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who's relationship with Burhan has soured since the 2021 Sudanese coup d'état has rebelled against Burhan which started the Third Sudanese Civil War thus dividing the country. 

Dagalo has blamed Burhan for the war stating that he wanted to divide the country. However, Burhan has denied those clames and said that it was Dagalo who wanted to divide the country.
