KY-3

The KY-3 (TSEC/KY-3) is a secure telephone system developed by the U.S. National Security Agency in the early 1960s. It was one of the first widely accepted voice voice encryption systems. The "TSEC" prefix to the model number indicates NSA's Telecommunications Security nomenclature system.

It was made by the Bendix Corporation according to specifications of the NSA. According to information on display in 2002 at the NSA's National Cryptologic Museum, the KY-3 provided high fidelity secure voice over special wide-band circuits known as "4-wire dedicated drops", since it used pulse-code modulation encoding for the audio which gave it "high-quality speech". Its overall high power requirements and physical size limited its "tactical" use but gained popularity among executives, diplomats, military leaders and the intelligence community. More than 2,500 units were produced between 1965 and 1967 and it was one of the first telecommunication security devices to use transistors packaged into functional modules. The unit was packaged in a grey relay rack cabinet. The KY-3 was replaced by the STU-I and STU-II and remained in use until the late 1980s.

Sounds and Silences

"Sounds and Silences" is episode 147 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on April 3, 1964 on CBS.

Opening narration

Plot
Roswell G. Flemington, owner of a model ship company and formerly a serviceman of the United States Navy, grew up in a home where his mother required silence. Thus, as an adult, he makes as much noise as he possibly can, is obsessed with the Navy (a photo of him in his youth shows he had reached the rank of Seaman Apprentice), and behaves thunderously in response to any slight.

After twenty years, his wife has had enough of his obsession with noise and finally walks out on him.  Now alone, he begins to hear every little noise – a drip of water, the margin bell on a typewriter – like an explosion or gunshot. He sees a psychiatrist who helps him understand that conflict with his wife has caused him to relive his resentment against his mother to the point that he internalizes his mother's affliction. He now realizes it is all in his head, all he needs to do is overcome the mental block with "mind over matter", and he does. The only problem is that when his wife returns to pick up her jewelry, he tells her about it and proceeds to "shut her out".  Unfortunately, his solution proves too effective, and Flemington finds that he can hear nothing.  Now desperate to hear anything, Flemington puts a record on, setting the volume at its highest setting.  Although the scene is silent, the insides of his apartment vibrate from the sound of his stereo.  As the episode ends, Flemington opens up the windows to the street below, and begs for noise.

Litigation
In 1961, a script titled "The Sound of Silence" was submitted to the producers and rejected. Following the first screening of "Sounds and Silences", the original author successfully sued Rod Serling for plagiarism because of similarities in the plot, and was awarded $3,500 in damages. Since litigation was ongoing at the time of the initial syndication package creation the episode was withheld until 1984 when it first resurfaced on a special holiday presentation.

Grace Neill's

Grace Neill's, in the town of Donaghadee, Northern Ireland, is "one of Ireland's oldest pubs" and was opened in 1611.

History
The pub was opened in 1611 as the King's Arms. According to family tradition, Grace Neill was given the pub as a wedding gift from her father. Neill was a well-known figure in Donaghadee and owned the bar until her death in 1916. The pub was renamed in her honour.

Russian Czar Peter the Great, poet John Keats and novelist Daniel Defoe are all said to have visited the pub.

Present day
Situated on High Street, the small bar has stone flooring and beams that were constructed from ship timber, both of which are original to the building, and antiques and memorabilia displayed around its interior.

Grace Neill's has the oldest known pub deeds in Ireland, and is sometimes listed alongside other Irish pubs (including Sean's Bar in Athlone) as the "oldest licensed pub in Ireland".

In 2010, Grace Neill's was featured in the Michelin Eating Out In Pubs guide.

The company's Gin Long Drink (a grapefruit based alcoholic beverage) was introduced for the 1952 Summer Olympics held in Helsinki. It was originally developed to appeal to the tastes of foreign visitors; further, as a pre-prepared mixed drink, it was easy for bars to sell at a time when mixers were not common. The product became a huge hit with Finns and today it is the most heavily consumed mixed drink product in Finland.

Ertuğrul Özkök

Ertuğrul Özkök (born 8 April 1947) is a Turkish journalist and a daily columnist. Between 1990 and 2010, he was the editor-in-chief for Hürriyet, a daily newspaper published in Turkish in Turkey and some European countries. Özkök is known for advocating modernization of Turkey, globalization, women's rights and Turkey's European Union accession. He is also known for his strong relationships with Turkey's and Europe's top politicians, journalists and business people.

Early life
Özkök was born in İzmir a few years after his parents had to migrate to Istanbul. Both his father, who had made a name as a prominent printer of İzmir, and his mother are from Kardzhali, Bulgaria. He graduated from İzmir Namık Kemal Lisesi and did his university studies in Paris, France.

Political views and public perception

In September 2010 Özkök said that "I believe in God but I am not religious." (Turkish: Ben Allah’a inanan bir insanım, ama dindar değilim.)  He also identifies himself as a White Turk, a sociological group he has been describing.

He was against the wearing of the Islamic headscarf by Merve Kavakçı in the Parliament of Turkey, stating in a 1999 article titled Ecevit o gece neleri kurtardı (What Ecevit Saved that Night), "Ecevit is like that head of parliament who stood against the soldiers who overran the Parliament of Spain. He stood up in front of an ideology that overran Parliament. History will write what was prevented in Turkey by that speech that night, and what a historical importance Ecevit's scolding speech there carried. The lessons Ms. Merve received from those little students at school, when she went to pick her kids, are the first signs of the process of letting her know her limits."

The blue maomao (Scorpis violacea), also known as the violet sweep, blue sweep or hardbelly, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a member of the subfamily Scorpidinae, part of the sea chub family Kyphosidae. It is native to the southwestern Pacific Ocean from Australia to New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands, where it can be found in inshore waters from the surface to depths of .  This fish can reach a length of .  It is commercially important and is also a popular game fish.

Description
The blue maomao has a laterally, compressed and relatively deep body with a noticeably forked tail. They have protrusible jaws, equipped with a number of rows of small, closely set teeth, which are used to capture larger zooplankton. The adults are deep blue dorsally and pale ventrally, at night they change colour to a mottled dark green. The juveniles are grey with a yellow anal fin. They can grow to a fork length. The dorsal fin has 9 spines and 27 soft rays and the anal fin has 2 spines and 25 soft rays.

Distribution
Blue maomao are found in the southwestern Pacific Ocean around North Island, New Zealand, the Kermadec Islands and have been recorded in Australia.

Habitat and biology
The blue maomao is a schooling fish of inshore waters, especially rocky areas, which feed on zooplankton although when zooplankton are scarce they will graze on algae. When feeding in schools chasing shrimps near the surface they can cause the water to foam. Each fish has a favoured sleeping spot among the rocks during the night and they change colour from blue to mottle green at night. Occasionally they will sleep in groups over sheltered, sandy areas. They are tactile fish and when not feeding will rub themselves on pebbles and they will also visit cleaner fish when there is no apparent need for them to be cleaned. They spawn from September to November and the juveniles are recorded from October to December, the eggs are 0.8mm in diameter and contain an oil droplet. These fish can live to be 15 years old.

Species description
The blue maomao was first formally described in 1873 as Ditrema violacea by Frederick Hutton with the type locality given as Wellington.

Fisheries
Blue maomao are a quarry for commercial fisheries in New Zealand where  were landed in 2019. They are also popular with recreational fishermen, especially for spearfishing.

Ruth Weiss (journalist)

Ruth F. Weiss (December 11, 1908 – March 6, 2006), also known by her Chinese name, Wèi Lùshī (), was an Austrian-Chinese educator and journalist. She was the last surviving European eyewitness of the Chinese Communist Revolution and the beginnings of the People’s Republic of China.

Biography 
Weiss was born in Vienna, and graduated in German and English Studies from the University of Vienna. In 1933 she travelled to Shanghai, a city that before World War II attracted many European émigrés including revolutionaries from the Spanish Civil War, Jews and other refugees escaping the Nazis. She decided to stay, as did many others, and became fascinated by the social and political goals of the unfolding Chinese Revolution.

Initially Weiss worked as a freelance journalist in Shanghai. Later she became a teacher at the Jewish School in Shanghai, at the School of the Chinese Committee of Intellectual Cooperation, and at the West China Union University. After working briefly as a secretary at the Canadian embassy in Chongqing in 1944, she became a correspondent at the United Nations Picture News Office (联合国影闻宣传处) in 1945 and joined the China Welfare Fund (中国福利会). One year later she took up a post at the Radio Division of the United Nations Organization in New York. Weiss worked as a teacher at the Jewish School in Shanghai, and married Yeh Hsuan, a Chinese engineer, with whom she had two children and went to the U.S. so he could pursue studies at MIT. Once the Chinese Revolution reached a climax in 1949, however, Weiss returned with her children to China, leaving Yeh in the U.S. After she returned to China she became a lecturer for the Verlag für fremdsprachige Literatur (Publishing House for Foreign Literature) in Beijing from 1952 to 1965. In 1965  she worked as a journalist for "China im Bild" (人民画报).

Ruth Weiss was one of about one hundred foreign-born residents to receive Chinese citizenship in 1955. In 1983 she was named one of eleven foreign experts by the Chinese Communist Party that were part of membership of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. She died in Beijing, aged 97.

Mata Tripta

Mata Tripta  (1446–1522; Punjabi: ਮਾਤਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਾ; mātā tripatā) was the mother of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism.

Biography

Early life 
Tripta was born in 1446 to a father named Bhai Raam, a Jhangar Khatri from the village of Chaliawala (or Chahal), near Lahore, and her mother was Mata Bhirai. She was born in a Hindu family. She had a brother named Krishan. She is said to have possessed a kind-hearted and soft-spoken disposition. She is further described as being a "simple, humble, kind and humane lady".

Marriage 
In 1460 she was aged eleven, she was wedded to Mehta Kalu.

She gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Nanaki in 1464. Due to the birth of a girl child as the first-born and the resultant disappointment of her husband, Mata Tripta started becoming more fervently religious in-order to please the deities in hopes for a son. Mata Tripta gave birth to Guru Nanak Dev on 23 November 1469, in the village of Rai Bhoi Di Talwandi, some thirty five miles west of Lahore in the Sheikhupura district of Punjab, Delhi Sultanate (modern day Punjab, Pakistan). The name of the town was changed to Nankana Sahib in honour of the Guru.

Death 
Tripta died in Kartarpur at the age of 76 shortly after the death of her husband Kalu.
