BrainPort is a technology whereby sensory information can be sent to one's brain through an electrode array which sits atop the tongue.  It was initially developed by Paul Bach-y-Rita as an aid to people's sense of balance, particularly of stroke victims. Bach-y-Rita founded Wicab in 1998.

It has also been developed for use as a visual aid, demonstrating its ability to allow a blind person to see his or her surroundings in polygonal and pixel form. In this scenario, a camera picks up the image of the surrounding, the information is processed by a chip which converts it into impulses which are sent  through an electrode array, via the tongue, to the person's brain. The human brain is able to interpret these impulses as visual signals and they are then redirected to the visual cortex, allowing the person to "see."  This is similar in part to how a cochlear implant works, in that it transmits electrical stimuli to a receiving device in the body.

The BrainPort V100 oral electronic vision aid was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on June 18, 2015.

Väinö Lehmus (11 January 1886 – 6 April 1936) was a Finnish stage and film and radio actor of the early 20th century.

Career
Born Väinö Armas Lind, his father was a tailor. He initially attended trade school before studying for a business career. He began his acting career at the Tampere Theatre in 1906 and from 1915 to 1917 toured Finland performing in comedic operettas, often in the company of actor Iivari Kainulainen. Lehmus also served as the director for many working class theaters and was the theater director for the Vyborg Worker's Theatre from 1927 to 1928. He was also the property manager and stage director for Harjula Oy, a children's educational facility in Lohja.

In addition to a long career on the Finnish stages, Väinö Lehmus performed in approximately seven early Finnish silent films; the first two of which, 1920's Kilu-Kallen ja Mouku-Franssin kosioretki and 1921's Kun solttu-Juusosta tuli herra, he also was the screenwriter. Both films were comedic shorts directed by Hjalmar V. Pohjanheimo. With the exception of two films released in 1920, directed by Erkki Karu, all of his subsequent film appearances were directed by Pohjanheimo. The last being 1921's Sunnuntaimetsästäjät, which was a feature-length film. Most of Lehmus's film appearances were in comedic roles.

Personal life
Väinö Lehmus was married to actress Hildur Aurora Lehmus (née Enbom, 1891–1967) from 1912 until his death in 1936. His sister Saima Lehmus-Veijonen (1895-1974) and brother Toivo Lehmus (1901-1969) were also actors and appeared in early Finnish films.

Kimen (The Seed) is a Norwegian film from 1974 directed by Erik Solbakken. It starred Kjell Stormoen, Svein Sturla Hungnes, Ragnhild Michelsen, Helle Ottesen, Helge Jordal, and Ragnhild Hilt. The film was based on the 1940 novel of the same name by Tarjei Vesaas.

Plot
Some people are living on a green island in the ocean to the west. In this simple and earthy environment, they live in harmony with each other. It seems to be a small community in balance. However, when a mentally unstable stranger comes to the island, this balance is suddenly destroyed. The stranger causes a young girl's death, and the death has a strong impact on the island community. Fear and mass hysteria affect the population.

The drama in the film highlights themes such as crowd psychology and an individual's responsibility for collective misdeeds.

Reception
When it was released, the film received good reviews from Gunvor Gjessing at Aftenposten and Bjørn Granum at Arbeiderbladet. Among other things, Gjessing wrote that "The film's most striking feature is that has a clear plot that is easy to grasp. It ought to appeal to many because here there is quite a lot to think about: outbreaks of hidden destructive forces, mass hysteria, herd behavior, and individual responsibility." Among other things, Granum  wrote that "We've got a promising new filmmaker in Norway. After several years of short films, Solbakken has come out in full bloom with his feature film debut."

Kimen received a "die throw" of three from Dagbladet in 2003.

Hugh Hastings (31 January 191726 November 2004) was an Australian writer best known for his play Seagulls Over Sorrento. He moved to England in 1936 determined to break into theatre as an actor or writer. He served in the British Royal Navy for over five years during World War II.

Life
Hastings's Seagulls Over Sorrento made theatre history by running for 1,551 performances at London's Apollo Theatre. Only two other plays had then run longer in theatre history:  Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit; and R. F. Delderfield's Worm's Eye View.

Part of the play's appeal was that it was radical for the time. The play was set inside a Royal Navy research station near Scapa Flow. The play was not popular with everyone, and not everyone saw the humor in it. It elicited subdued laughs as well as frowns, depending on whether the audience was liberal or conservative.

He estimated he made £50,000 from Sorrento. The fortune grew to £100,000 when in 1954 a film version made by the Boulting brothers was released.

Hastings has an uncredited movie role in the 1952 film The Gift Horse, on which he worked on the script. Hastings also wrote the dialogues for a Marghanita Laski melodrama, It Started In Paradise (1952). He also wrote another naval play, Red Dragon. It was based on the 1949 Yangtze Incident, which involved . The play failed to make an impression. None of his other works reached the success levels of Sorrento. Even different versions of his most famous work failed to succeed. The television version of Sorrento was broadcast in 1960 with no real impact. He also financed and wrote a musical version, entitled Scapa, which ran for a few weeks at the Adelphi Theatre in 1962.

The Division Street Historic District is a historic residential district in Platteville, Wisconsin, United States.  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

History
The land that the district is now on was once known as Henry's Addition, platted in 1858. Only four houses were built there until the 1890s, when Platteville's mining industry surged. Most of the houses that are still there were built between 1894 and 1908 - mostly Queen Anne style and American Foursquare. Contributing buildings in the district were constructed from 1894 to 1926.

"Up on the Housetop" is a Christmas song written by Benjamin Hanby in 1864. It has been recorded by a multitude of singers, most notably Gene Autry in 1953.

History
According to William Studwell in The Christmas Carol Reader, "Up on the Housetop" was the second-oldest secular Christmas song, outdone only by "Jingle Bells", which was written in 1857.  It is also considered the first Yuletide song to focus primarily on Santa Claus. It was originally published in the magazine Our Song Birds by Root & Cady. According to Reader's Digest Merry Christmas Song Book, Hanby probably owes the idea that Santa and his sleigh land on the roofs of homes to Clement C. Moore's 1822 poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas"). Benjamin Russell Hanby was born in 1833 near Rushville, Ohio, the son of a minister involved with the Underground Railroad. He wrote Up on the Housetop while living in New Paris, Ohio. During his short life, he wrote some 80 songs before dying of tuberculosis in 1867. Other than "Up on the Housetop", his best-known song is "Darling Nelly Gray".

On television 
In 1992, a syndicated television special of the same name, produced by Perennial Pictures Film Corporation in Indianapolis, Indiana, was released. Co-writer/co-producer/co-director G. Brian Reynolds also was the voice of Curtis Calhoun, and also composed the musical score. His creative partner, Russ Harris, co-wrote, co-produced, co-directed and also did voiceover work in this special. The special is the story of Curtis Calhoun, a miserable man who wishes that there were no Santa Claus. But then on Christmas Eve, someone is on top of the Calhouns' roof, and Curtis does not know whether he is Saint Nick or a cat burglar.

Kimberley Locke version

In 2005, the song was repopularized with a new recording by Kimberley Locke. The recording broke a Billboard record when it made the largest leap into the Top 5 in the AC chart's history, moving from 32 to 5 in only a week. It was also the second longest Billboard holiday AC chart topper in the chart's history, sitting at number 1 for 4 consecutive weeks.
