In March 2004, the documentary "Making It at Holby" was made as part of a BBC initiative to develop new acting talent. The documentary followed the casting process of "Holby City" and "Casualty", from the audition stages to the filming of the selected actors' first scenes.
In November 2006, the "Children in Need" charity telethon included a segment featuring the "Holby City" cast performing a comical version of "Hung Up" by Madonna.
In November 2007 "Children in Need" appeal again contained a musical performance from Holby City cast members. Sharon D Clarke, backed by Nadine Lewington, Rakie Ayola and Phoebe Thomas performed a soul version of Aretha Franklin's signature song, "Respect".

"Holby City" has been compared to other medical dramas, often unfavourable.
In November 2002, John Whiston, then head of drama at Granada Television, accused the BBC of producing inferior "parodies" of ITV drama. He commented "With "Holby City" cloned out of "Casualty", the BBC has even ended up copying itself."
Paul Hoggart of "The Times" says that the differences between the two shows are "mild", calling "Holby City": ""Casualty" cute little sister".
Kevin Lygo, director of television at Channel 4, referred to "Holby City" as "sudsy drama", deeming it, "Casualty" and "HolbyBlue" "all decent programmes, but strikingly similar in many aspects of their tone and construction."
"Holby City" has been unfavourably compared with the American medical drama "ER". Television producer Paul Abbott has commented that although he watches "ER", he does not watch "Holby City" as: "it looks like you've crammed one hour's drama into 26 episodes."
In October 2009, former "Holby City" writer Peter Jukes wrote a critical piece for "Prospect" magazine, contrasting the show negatively with the standard of American television dramas. Jukes wrote that "Holby City" has become a soap opera, rather than a drama, and deemed the episodes he worked on "the most dispiriting experiences in [his] 25 years as a dramatist."
In August 2002, Paul Bolt, director of the Broadcasting Standards Commission criticised BBC programming as being "humdrum" and "formulaic", saying of "Holby City" and the police procedural "Mersey Beat": "One begins to wonder what really is the point of the BBC bringing this to us. Let's have something a bit different." Then head of BBC drama Jane Tranter responded that Bolt's examples were "highly selective" as well as "hugely patronising to the millions of viewers who enjoy popular dramas like "Holby City" – week in, week out". Young, who at the time held the position of head of drama serials, told "The Guardian": "Popular drama has always been singled out for criticism, but people are increasingly voting with their on-buttons."
At the 2003 Edinburgh International Television Festival, BSykB chief executive Tony Ball called for stricter restrictions on how the BBC spent licence payers' money, suggesting that "Holby City" be sold to the channel's commercial rivals, with the proceeds used to develop more original programming. The BBC refused Ball's suggestion, responding in a statement: "This speech clearly reflects BSkyB's view that programmes are merely a commodity to be bought and sold."
In 2003, former BBC host Sir Ludovic Kennedy complained that ethnic minorities were over-represented on television, prompting a BBC spokeswoman to explain that "Holby City" has more ethnic characters as it is set in an area where minorities account for up to 30% of the population. According to the 2001 census, the population of Bristol – which the city of Holby is loosely based upon – is 88% white and 12% ethnic minorities.
In October 2003, "Holby City" was praised by campaigners for the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), when an episode which coincided with "Learn To Sign Week" used deaf actors, and featured characters communicating through British Sign Language. RNID chief executive John Low stated: "Too often individuals have to rely on family members or friends to communicate complicated personal information to professionals. This is the reason the RNID is calling on the government to channel funding into the training of British Sign Language interpreters who could then be available to NHS staff treating deaf patients." Stokes commented: "The writer had a great story he wanted to tell – for us, that's what matters first and foremost."
In June 2004, Charles Allen, chief executive of ITV plc questioned the amount of funding spent on lengthened episodes of "Holby City",
A 2008 a Channel 4 report into ethnic diversity on television, cited "Holby City" as a positive example of "diverse British programm[ing]".
In January 2010, Janet Street-Porter in "The Independent", said "Holby City" had "come to the end of [its] natural life" and should be cancelled.
The show has been criticised for its lack of realism.
In February 2004, nurse Vici Hoban said that there were three nurse stereotypes. "Sex object, doctor's handmaiden, or angel". She felt that the media had increased these misconceptions. She said that with "the syringe-toting serial killer Kelly in "Holby City", realism has never been top of TV's agenda." Hoban felt that the worst offender at the time was the Channel 4 medical drama "No Angels". She described as: "so inaccurate that it makes "Holby City" look like a factual documentary."
In November 2009, Antony Sumara, CEO of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Hospital Trust, wrote a column criticising "Holby City" for misrepresenting real hospital life.
In December 2009, Tom Sutcliffe of "The Independent" reviewed an episode, finding it "astonishing" that any patients leave Holby General alive, as the staff are "so busy looking stricken or lovelorn at each other".
Misuse of alcohol has been criticised.
In December 2003, "The Times" Libby Purves wrote a critical opinion piece, observing that "Holby City" medical staff are often depicted getting drunk in clubs, but afterwards are able to function properly at work, and that as a result, alcohol "is made to look innocent".
In October 2004, Canon Kenyon Wright, chair of Alcohol Focus Scotland, criticised an episode of "Holby City" which saw doctors downing tequila slammers, stating that it glamorised irresponsible drinking.
In October 2007, drinks' industry body the Portman Group made an official complaint to communications regulator Ofcom about a scene in "Holby City" which depicted two medics drinking five shots of tequila following a stressful day at work. The body's chief executive David Poley claimed that in failing to show the negative consequences of this action, the series was presenting a "highly irresponsible portrayal of excessive and rapid drinking". Ofcom received a total of eight complaints about the incident.
"Holby City" has also been accused of medical inaccuracies.
In January 2004, the British Medical Association denounced an episode which showed organ donation being done despite withdrawal of consent by the patient's relatives. Dr Michael Wilks, chairman of the Medical Ethics Committee stated: "This simply would not happen, but its portrayal, even in a drama, is totally irresponsible and risks causing huge damage to the already struggling transplant programme."
In 2005, the British Medical Association said that the show was giving viewers an unrealistic impression of resuscitation by typically presenting only two outcomes, death or total recovery. Andrew Thomson, a Dundee GP, deemed this "a terrible distortion of the truth."
In 2009, "The Times", Vivienne Parry highlighted the fact that in reality, less than half of patients who require resuscitation survive the initial event. Of those, only a third live to leave hospital.
In April 2010, at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) conference in Bournemouth, "Holby City" was accused of fostering unrealistic expectations of the NHS, encouraging patients to believe in miracles and fuelling a compensation culture. Accident and Emergency nurse John Hill stated: "In A&E it is sometimes a fact that sadly we cannot get people through the trauma they have received. Unfortunately, unlike in "Holby City", I am a mere mortal and cannot perform miracles. But many relatives believe because of that, you can. And the injury lawyers assure them that if you don't they will get recompense for it."
In October 2000, Dr John Ryan, an Accident & Emergency consultant at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton criticised the number of patients visiting the department for minor problems without first seeing their GP. Ryan attributed this to patients watching "Holby City" and falsely seeing hospitals as glamorous.
In September 2008, a three-year Belgian research project, presented at a British Psychological Society meeting, claimed that watching "Holby City" and similar medical dramas such as "Casualty" and "ER" had a subliminal influence on fear of illness. 1,300 teenagers were questioned on their viewing habits, and those who watched more medical dramas were found to be up to 10% more fearful about their health.
In 2008, Conservative Party strategists identified four archetypes based on TV programmes to help the party target swing voters. Alongside ""Top Gear" man", ""Apprentice" generation" and ""Grand Designs" couple", they identified ""Holby City" worker", a middle-ranking health service worker. In 2009, they identified ""Holby City" woman" as a key voter demographic who may help the party win the 2010 General Election. The ""Holby City" woman" is a female voter in her 30s or 40s, employed in a clinical or clerical position or some other public sector job. She is a swing voter in General Elections, The ""Holby City" woman" archetype is modelled on the character of Faye Morton.
In January 2009, Jill Berry, president of the Girls' Schools Association and head teacher at the Dame Alice Harpur School in Bedford, cited medical dramas such as "Holby City" as an inspiring force in increasing numbers of female students deciding to pursue careers in medicine. Berry explained: "The girls see that as an exciting and dynamic way of life. They see it as making a difference to people's lives. It gives them a sense sometimes of the pressures, responsibility and adrenaline. Such TV programmes can be good, as long as they give a realistic impression." Similarly, consultant surgeon Andrew Raftery uses clips from "Holby City" as part of the University of Sheffield Outreach and Access to Medicine Scheme, to inspire pupils from under-represented social and educational backgrounds to pursue careers in medicine.

Joe (disambiguation)
Joe is a male given name. It may also refer to:
Kafana () (in Serbian and Slovene), kafene\kafenë (pl. kafenejet\kafenët) (in Albanian), kafeana (кафеана, in Macedonian), kavana () (in Croatian), καφενείο\kafenio (pl. καφενεία\kafenia) (in Greek), cafenea (pl. cafenele) (in Romanian) are words used in the former Yugoslav countries and Albania for a specific type of local bistro which mostly serves alcohol and coffee, and often also light snacks and other food. Most kafanas feature live music.
The idea of a social meeting place for men to drink alcohol and coffee started in the Ottoman Empire and spread to the Balkans while it was under Ottoman rule. Over time, this became the modern kafana.
The word 'kafana' is taken from the Turkish word "kahvehane" ("coffeehouse") which is in turn taken from the Persian word "qahveh-khaneh" (a compound of the Arabic "qahve" [coffee] and Persian "khane" [house]).
In Macedonia, the word "kafeana" is sometimes used as if it means the same as "meana", while the variant "kafana" (adopted from Serbian folk-songs and made popular by artists) may be used for the kafana described in this article; however, both terms are used as if they have the same meaning by some people.
Nowadays in Serbia, the term "kafana" is used to describe any informal restaurant serving traditional cuisine, as well as some other kafana dishes like Karađorđeva šnicla.
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, running a kafana (then usually called "mehana") was a family business, passed on from generation to generation.
As the Balkan cities grew in size and became more urban, the kafana also changed. Some started serving food and offering other things to customers since the owners now had to compete with other similar places around the city. Most bigger towns and cities in this time had a "Gradska kafana" (City kafana) located in or around main square where the richest and most important people of that city would come to see and be seen. Prices in this kafana would usually be higher than others around the city that didn't have such an exclusive location.
Live music was first used in kafane in the early 20th century by kafana owners looking to offer different kinds of entertainment to their guests. Naturally, since there was no mass media these bands were local and would only play folk music that was popular in the local region.
As the 20th century began, Balkan cities saw lots of rural people move in, especially after World War II, and kafane changed for this. Some stayed the same, caring for the upper-class, while others began to change to be better for the new rural population who mostly worked in factories and on construction sites.
This is when the word "kafana" slowly began to mean something that you did not want and that was only for lower classes of society, like a ghetto. By the 1980s, calling a restaurant a "kafana" almost became an insult and most owners would not call their restaurants kafane. Instead, they used words like "restaurant", "cafe", "bistro", "coffee bar", &c. instead.
Now, the kafana is thought of as a place where sad lovers cure their sorrows in alcohol and music, gamblers waste lots of, husbands run away from mean wives while shady businessmen, corrupt local politicians and small criminals do business. Going to kafane often is seen as something that more men would do than women, and "honest" women dare only visit finer ones, and usually while they are with men.
This is mentioned in late-20th century folk songs, like "I tebe sam sit kafano" ("I'm Already Sick of You, Kafana") by Haris Džinović, "Kafana je moja sudbina" ("Kafana is My Destiny") by Toma Zdravković, and "Čaše lomim" ("I'm Breaking Glasses"), by Nezir Eminovski.

The Hollow Earth is a concept proposing that the planet Earth is entirely hollow or contains a substantial inner space. Edmond Halley suggested this in the late 17th century. Pierre Bouguer in tried to prove this idea false, in 1740. Charles Hutton could falsify the idea in his Schiehallion experiment around 1774.
It was still occasionally defended through the mid 19th century, notably by John Cleves Symmes Jr. and Jeremiah N. Reynolds, but by this time was part of popular pseudoscience and no longer a scientifically viable hypothesis.

List of Intellivision games
This is a list of cartridges and cassettes for the Intellivision game system. Some cartridges were released by both Mattel Electronics and Sears Tele-Games, and later Intellivision Inc. Between 1979 and 1989, a total of 133 titles were released:
Most of this information is from the Game Catalog of IntellivisionLives.com. Some games were also released under different names when they were released again in "Intellivision Lives!".
All early games that were published by Mattel Electronics were categorized as "Network"s. Each network had its own color that was used for the game box. The network concept was abandoned in late 1982.
These are the cartridges released from 1979 to 1990, back when the Intellivision was made. The cartridges that use the Intellivision are included here. Even though the cartridges are designed to be played with the Intellivoice peripheral, they can be played without the Intellivoice peripheral.
Except for one of these cartridges, these cartridges need the ECS Computer Adapter and either the Computer Keyboard or Music Synthesizer peripherals.
Keyboard Component cassettes had limited availability through direct mail or select markets. Only 4000 Keyboard Components were made.
This is a list of Intellivision games that were mostly completed but not released. Keyboard Component software that would have been on cassette tape is also included. Technical demos, store demos, and test cartridges are not included. "Air Strike" is one game that is possibly unfinished, but is included in this list because the found prototype is a playable game. "Hypnotic Lights" is not included because it is mostly a technical demo. "Grid Shock" is excluded due to a lack of game play. Some of the games were not released because of marketing decisions, and others because Mattel Electronics shut down in January 1984. Except for where it otherwise says, this information comes from the list of "Unreleased Intellivision Games" at IntellivisionLives.com.
In a 2014 interview, APh programmer Tom Loughry said in 1982, he and another APh programmer started a third Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game which was abandoned when he left the company. He also worked on a Keyboard Component cassette game called "Super Football". It is not known how complete Super Football is. In a 2015 interview with Russ Haft, manager of the Intellivision programming group at Atari, it was said as well as the four games, released versions of "Joust, Jungle Hunt, Pole Position, and Missile Command" were completed or close to completion. Missile Command would have been dropped because of poor playability. A June 1983 press release from CBS Electronics announced "Wizard of War" and "Gorf" to be released in July 1983 and "Blueprint, Solar Fox", and "Omega Race" cartridges in August 1983. This suggests "Wizard of War" and "Gorf" were completed and programming on the others at least started. Other announced games such as Imagic "Wing War" and "Moonsweeper" have little information about their status.
There are games Intellivision fans and hobbyists created.

Square root of 2
The square root of 2, or the (1/2)th power of 2, written in mathematics as or , is the positive irrational number that, when multiplied by itself, equals the number 2. To be more correct, it is called the principal square root of 2, to tell it apart from the negative version of itself where that is also true.
Geometrically, the square root of 2 is the length of a diagonal across a square with sides with a length of one; this can be found with the Pythagorean theorem. Because of that, it is also called the Pythagoras's constant.
The number formula_1 is not rational. Here is the proof.
Therefore, it is not true that formula_1 is a rational number. So formula_1 must be irrational.
