# Google AI

Google AI is a division of Google dedicated to artificial intelligence. It was announced at Google I/O 2017 by CEO Sundar Pichai.
This division has expanded its reach with research facilities in various parts of the world such as Zurich, Paris, Israel, and Beijing. In 2023, Google AI was part of the reorganization initiative that elevated its head, Jeff Dean, to the position of chief scientist at Google. This reorganization involved the merging of Google Brain and DeepMind, a UK-based company that Google acquired in 2014 that operated separately from the company's core research.
In March 2019, Google announced the creation of an Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC) comprising eight members: Alessandro Acquisti, Bubacarr Bah, De Kai, Dyan Gibbens, Joanna Bryson, Kay Coles James, Luciano Floridi and William Joseph Burns. Following objections from a large number of Google staff to the appointment of Kay Coles James, the Council was abandoned within one month of its establishment.
In February 2025, Alphabet removed guidelines in their public AI ethics policy that formerly ruled out applying their AI technology to applications that were "likely to cause harm." Google published a blog post defending the change.

# Skadi Mons

Skadi Mons /ˈskɑːði ˈmɒnz/ is a mountain on Venus in Maxwell Montes, at the center of Ishtar Terra. It is the highest point on the planet, with an altitude of about 10,700 meters (about 35,000 feet) above the mean planetary radius.
As the highest mountain of the Maxwell Montes and Venus altogether it is the coolest (about 380 °C or 716 °F) and least pressurised (about 45 bar or 44 atm) location on the surface of Venus.
It is named after Skaði, the norse goddess of skiing (Öndurdís). The word means "damage" or "shadow", being related to the name Scandinavia and maybe the underworld.

# Why Does Love Do This to Me

"Why Does Love Do This to Me" (alternatively spelt "Why Does Love (Do This to Me)") is a song by New Zealand pop band the Exponents. It was released in 1991 and is among the Exponents' most successful and best known songs.

## History

Having moved to London in 1987, the single was the band's first release upon returning to New Zealand and changing their name from the Dance Exponents to the Exponents. The song was written by Jordan Luck in London in 1989, with the group returning to New Zealand in November 1990 and signing to PolyGram Records New Zealand.
The song proved popular, peaking at number three on the New Zealand Singles Chart, charting for 29 weeks. Its singalong chorus made the single a hit and helped make the Exponents a popular live band in the 1990s. The single was also released in Australia in 1993 but did not chart.
The song's music video was directed by Kerry Brown. It features the band playing the song in several iconic New Zealand landscapes, including a steamy thermal area, a bush road and by a cliffside.
In 2001, the song was ranked at number 47 on the APRA Top 100 New Zealand Songs of All Time list, as voted by APRA's members. The song was included on Nature's Best 2, a compilation album of songs number 31 to number 65 from the list. At the 1992 New Zealand Music Awards, the track was awarded Single of the Year.
"Why Does Love Do This to Me" is also known as a singalong anthem played during rugby games in New Zealand. Popularised during the 2005 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, the song has become a stadium staple at New Zealand rugby events.
The track is on the Exponents' 1992 studio album Something Beginning with C and also gives its name to the band's 2011 greatest hits album Why Does Love Do This to Me: The Exponents Greatest Hits. The 2013 deluxe edition of Something Beginning with C includes the original UK demo version of the song.

# Jacques Noiseux

Jacques Noiseux (8 December 1936 – 24 February 2016) was a Canadian diplomat who served in several prominent foreign service positions from 1965 to 1998.
He represented Canada as Ambassador to Lebanon, Syria, and Algeria and held numerous diplomatic posts around the world.

## Life

Noiseux was born on 8 December 1936, the son of Fortunat Noiseux and Marguerite Hébert. He was predeceased by his sister Louise and brother Jean.

## Diplomatic career

Noiseux's career in the Canadian Foreign Service began in 1965 and spanned over three decades. He held various significant diplomatic postings, including Ambassador to Lebanon, Syria, and Algeria. He was also appointed to key roles in the British Commonwealth, including as Assistant to the Queen's Equerry at Buckingham Palace and as Assistant to the Secretary to the Governor General of Canada.
Throughout his career, Noiseux served in several diplomatic missions, including at Canada's embassies in Kinshasa, Dakar, Paris, Nairobi, and New York, where he worked at the Consulate-General.

### Withdrawal from Syria and Lebanon

In 1985, amidst the volatile situation in Lebanon, Noiseux was involved in Canada's diplomatic efforts during the Lebanese Civil War. On 15 June 1985, following increasing risks to the safety of Canadian diplomats, the Canadian government ordered the closure of its embassy in Beirut. Noiseux, along with embassy staff and their families, was evacuated to Amman, Jordan.
Canada's withdrawal of its ambassador to Syria was in support of Britain’s decision to sever diplomatic ties with Damascus following a bomb plot linked to the Syrian government. The Canadian government supported the action taken by Britain in light of the events surrounding the bombing attempt on an El Al passenger jet in April 1986.

## Death

Noiseux died on 24 February 2016 at the age of 79 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Montreal after a short illness. His funeral was held at the Chapelle de la Résurrection in Montreal on 3 March 2016. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory were requested for St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation and the Montreal Neurological Institute.

# Barnabas Root

Barnabas Root, born Fahma Yahny, (Sherbro Island, Sierra Leone, West Africa) was the grandson of an American-born slave who had moved to Africa through the efforts of the American Colonization Society. Yahny attended the original Mendi Mission school in Mendiland, Sierra Leone, where he was educated by Mary McIntosh, an alumna of Knox College, in Galesburg, Illinois, which was founded in the Calvinist tradition. The College and many of the Congregational churches of the city were active with the American Missionary Association.
Yahny was brought to the United States twice by alumni of the College, first in 1859, and then again in 1863, in the company of C. F. Winship, a missionary at the Mission, for a higher education at their alma mater. At that time Yahny took the name of the Illinois man who had organized the effort to pay for his education. Root was one of the first Black men to receive a college degree in Illinois, very likely the first.
Even in the strongly anti-slavery environment of Knox, though, Root was not shielded from prejudice. He was discouraged enough by what he faced that he considered transferring to Oberlin College in Ohio, which had been admitting African Americans for nearly thirty years by then.
Nevertheless, he decided to stay there, completing a bachelor's degree at Knox College in 1870. He was Knox's first "international" student and presumably its first Black male graduate, He went on to earn a Bachelor of Divinity at Chicago Theological Seminary in 1873. Root was then employed by the American Missionary Association as a lay pastor for a Congregational Mission Church for freedmen in Alabama.
Root determined to return to his native land to work as a missionary to his people. He was ordained on 8 November 1874 in the Broadway Tabernacle in New York City, a church long associated with the anti-slavery movement and then still active in missions around the world, especially Africa. The congregation had been prime supporters of the slaves from the ship La Amistad, who had been abducted from Sierra Leone.
Root returned to Sierra Leone immediately after his ordination, where he died of consumption in 1877.

# Thorpe–Ingold effect

The Thorpe–Ingold effect, gem-dimethyl effect, or angle compression is an effect observed in chemistry where increasing steric hindrance favours ring closure and intramolecular reactions. The effect was first reported by Beesley, Thorpe, and Ingold in 1915 as part of a study of cyclization reactions. It has since been generalized to many areas of chemistry.
The comparative rates of lactone formation (lactonization) of various 2-hydroxybenzenepropionic acids illustrate the effect. The placement of an increasing number of methyl groups accelerates the cyclization process.
One application of this effect is addition of a quaternary carbon (e.g., a gem-dimethyl group) in an alkyl chain to increase the reaction rate and/or equilibrium constant of cyclization reactions. An example of this is an olefin metathesis reaction: In the field of peptide foldamers, amino acid residues containing quaternary carbons such as 2-aminoisobutyric acid are used to promote formation of certain types of helices.
One proposed explanation for this effect is that the increased size of the substituents increases the angle between them. As a result, the angle between the other two substituents decreases. By moving them closer together, reactions between them are accelerated. It is thus a kinetic effect.
The effect also has some thermodynamic contribution as the in silico strain energy decreases on going from cyclobutane to 1-methylcyclobutane and 1,1-dimethylcyclobutane by a value between 8 kcal/mole and 1.5 kcal/mole. A noteworthy example of the Thorpe-Ingold effect in supramolecular catalysis is given by diphenylmethane derivatives provided with guanidinium groups. These compounds are active in the cleavage of the RNA model compound HPNP. Substitution of the methylene group of the parent diphenylmethane spacer with cyclohexylidene and adamantylidene moieties enhances catalytic efficiency, with gem dialkyl effect accelerations of 4.5 and 9.1, respectively.
