Posit Science Corporation is an American company providing brain training software and services.

Originally known as Neuroscience Solutions Corporation, the company was founded in 2002 by neuroscientists Michael Merzenich and Henry Mahncke, who originally intended to help people with schizophrenia.  It was renamed Posit Science Corporation in January, 2005.

Between 2002 and 2011, the company received about $36 million in funding from venture capitalists and others. During that time, its customers and funding sources included the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health, as well as insurance companies Group Health Cooperative, The Hartford, and Allstate.  It grew to have 86 employees in 2007 and then cut staff to 11 by 2011, since revenue was not meeting their expectations.

The field of brain training has been driven by advertising making strong claims.  Starting in January 2015, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued companies selling "brain training" programs or other products marketed as improving cognitive function, including WordSmart Corporation, the company that makes Lumosity, for deceptive advertising and later that year the FTC also sued LearningRx; Posit was not sued by the FTC.

A 2016 review of studies in the field found that there was some evidence that some of brain training programs improved performance on tasks in which users were trained, less evidence that improvements in performance generalize to related tasks, and almost no evidence that brain training generalizes to everyday cognitive performance; in addition most clinical studies were flawed.

In 2017, a group of Australian scientists undertook a systematic review of what studies have been published of commercially available brain training programs in an attempt to give consumers and doctors credible information on which brain training programs are actually scientifically proved to work. Unfortunately, after reviewing close to 8,000 studies about brain training programs marketed to healthy older adults that were studied, most programs had no peer reviewed published evidence of their efficacy and of the seven brain training programs that did, only two of those had multiple studies, including at least one study of high quality: BrainHQ (from Posit Science) and CogniFit.

Hummel Aviation is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Bryan, Ohio and founded by James Morris (Morry) Hummel in 1983. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of plans and kits for amateur construction.

The company was formed in 1983 to produce Hummel's initial Hummel Bird design. The plane was named by Jack Cox in a Sport Aviation magazine article reviewing the design. On 9 July 1995 Hummel was involved in an aircraft accident when a bolt broke in the aileron control system of the Mini-MAX he was flying. Hummel was seriously injured and designed the Hummel UltraCruiser shortly thereafter as a consequence of a religious revelation he had during his recovery. The UltraCruiser prototype was started in 1999 and was completed in June 2000. In April 2002 a new version of the UltraCruiser was designed for larger pilots, the Hummel UltraCruiser Plus. Another derivative model for larger pilots, the Hummel H5, was the most recent addition to the company's line.

Waiting for Normal is a young adult novel by Leslie Connor, published by Katherine Tegen Books on March 17, 2009.

Plot
A  sixth-grader, Addie, has just moved into a trailer with her troubled mother. Once she has gotten over the move, Addie befriends some girls at school and a  lady named Soula who runs the minimart. Time passes, and Addie's stepfather and two half-sisters visit less frequently than she'd like.

Suddenly, her mother gets involved in a romantic relationship, though she doesn't say so at first, and vanishes for days, sometimes weeks at a time, leaving Addie alone. Soon Addie's mother reveals that she is pregnant, despite their poor living conditions and financial situation.  During one of her mother's disappearances, Addie accidentally sets the RV on fire, which leads Soula to call social services. Soon after, Soula dies of breast cancer, which causes Addie much grief. Social services briefly place Addie with her grandfather before she happily agrees to be adopted by her stepfather and his new fiancee. The novel ends with Addie living with Dwight and his family.

Maccabi Nes Tziona () was an Israeli football club based in Nes Tziona.

History
Maccabi Nes Tziona was founded in 1912. In 1923 the club won the Magen Shimshon, a cup for Maccabi-affiliated teams, and won it again the following season. During the 1930s they played in the Palestine League.

After Israeli independence the club were placed in the Israeli League, but lost all 24 matches that season scoring only seven goals, and were subsequently relegated (although second-from-bottom Maccabi Rishon LeZion actually had the league's worst goal difference). The club's record of zero points remains a record low.

At the end of the following season, 1951–52, the club finished second bottom of the South Division of Liga Bet and were relegated again.

The club folded in 1955, as the local football clubs of Nes Tziona merged, and Sektziyat Kaduregel Nes Tziona was founded.

Victorio Francisco Casa (28 October 1943 – 6 June 2013) was an Argentine professional footballer who played as a forward for San Lorenzo in the Argentine Primera División and in the United States with the Washington Whips and Washington Darts in the first North American Soccer League (NASL). He is the first player in American professional soccer history (and only player in NASL history) to play with one arm; he had lost his right arm in a freak shooting accident before coming to the U.S.

Club career
Casa began his domestic professional career in Buenos Aires, playing with Club Deportivo Norte in his hometown of Mar del Plata. He moved to San Lorenzo in 1962. He signed with Platense in 1966 and played there through 1967.

In 1968, Casa joined the recently formed North American Soccer League, signing with the Washington Whips franchise in Washington, D.C. Playing as a forward, he got into 31 games and scored 5 goals. When the club folded after a season, he returned to Argentina to play in 1969. After some restructuring, the NASL brought the Washington Darts of the American Soccer League into the league as their new D.C. club for the 1970 season. Casa signed with the Darts that year, and in 17 games scored three goals.

Upon Casa's return to the NASL in 1970, the New York Times referred to him in an article as "[t]he highest paid soccer player in the United States ... [he] makes $15,000 a year, speaks no English and has one arm," the result of a 1965 shooting accident, involving the Argentine Navy, that resulted in the amputation of his right arm above the elbow. The piece described him as "[a] man with bright eyes who combs his thick, dark hair straight back." He weighed 145 pounds and was married with two children. In describing the threat to his career after the loss of his arm, Casa said, "Soccer is not played by the arms and I knew I was going to be back."

He died on 6 June 2013, aged 69, in Mar del Plata.
