U-Friend or UFO?

"U-Friend or UFO?" is an episode of the British comedy television series The Goodies.

This episode is also known as "Close Encounters".

Written by The Goodies, with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

Plot
The Goodies open a restaurant called "Knutters Knoll Knite Spot", on the top of Knutters Knoll.  To help with the housework, including washing up, Graeme has built a robot he calls EB-GB (Electronic Brain of Great Britain).  Graeme asks: "EB-GB, how do you speak to aliens?" to which EB-GB replies in a Dalek voice: "Exterminate!"

Away from the restaurant, Bill is watching when musicians suddenly and unexpectedly disappear during performances.  Graeme tries to determine a common link between the series of recent disappearances, even writing up all the information that he has about the missing persons on the blackboard.  Graeme has no idea what could be the common link, and it takes Bill to point out that all the missing persons are trombone players.

In contemplation of this fact, Bill plays the trombone in the park to see if he can find the answer to the riddle and also get taken, but nothing happens to him.  Bill rushes back to the restaurant when he sees a weird noisy light approaching, but the weird light turns out to be Graeme who is out doing some UFO spotting with an electronic gadget box.  Graeme explains his UFO spotter gadget box to Tim, and they do not notice when Bill and his trombone are kidnapped — Bill is later sent back with a mangled trombone and the word "REJECT" stamped on his forehead.

Later, Graeme becomes aware that there is a moving blip on the television screen, which seems to be attuned to his every thought.  Graeme sets about devising an ingenious plot, which includes some "Supermen" and a "Supernun", to get rid of the rapidly approaching spacecraft before it can reach Earth.

Later, when things are beginning to improve, Graeme's device comes back to haunt him — and everyone else. Graeme comments: "That was a five megaton Nun, son ...... I didn't know the Nun was loaded.  Boom! Boom!"

Retract (group theory)

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a subgroup of a group is termed a retract if there is an endomorphism of the group that maps surjectively to the subgroup and is the identity on the subgroup. In symbols,  is a retract of  if and only if there is an endomorphism  such that  for all  and  for all .

The endomorphism  is an idempotent element in the transformation monoid of endomorphisms, so it is called an idempotent endomorphism or a retraction.

The following is known about retracts:

 A subgroup is a retract if and only if it has a normal complement. The normal complement, specifically, is the kernel of the retraction.
 Every direct factor is a retract. Conversely, any retract which is a normal subgroup is a direct factor.
 Every retract has the congruence extension property.
 Every regular factor, and in particular, every free factor, is a retract.

Oxygen tent

An oxygen tent consists of a canopy placed over the head and shoulders, or over the entire body of a patient to provide oxygen at a higher level than normal. Some devices cover only a part of the face. Oxygen tents are sometimes confused with altitude tents as used by athletes and those looking to acclimatize to a higher altitude, but those contain a reduced oxygen content.

This form of treatment is often prescribed in conditions where people have difficulty in breathing. An oxygen tent can be used in either a hospital setting or outside a health-care facility, and can be recommended for short- or long-term therapy.

Typically the tent is made of transparent plastic material. It can envelop the patient's bed with the end sections held in place by a mattress to ensure that the tent is airtight. The enclosure often has a side opening with a zipper.

Benefits
Oxygen therapy often benefits patients by providing more oxygen to their lungs and consequently to their tissues. Typically, the treatment raises the amount of oxygen in the blood, decreases load on the heart, and facilitates breathing. It can ease symptoms such as cough and dried up secretions that occur in respiratory conditions. Oxygen therapy might be advised for lung diseases, heart conditions, carbon monoxide poisoning, and could be administered to patients in case of surgery. A person with viral or bacterial meningitis who develops breathing difficulty might be kept in an oxygen tent.

Hazards

Raised levels of oxygen increase fire risk, both of ignition and of spreading rate and damage. Many materials that will not burn in air will ignite and burn in a high oxygen atmosphere. Extinguishing a fire is more difficult in a high oxygen environment.

Precautions
Certain precautions are usually recommended when using an oxygen tent. One of the measures is to avoid opening the tent very often. If the tent is opened to attend to the patient, the edges need to be tucked back to prevent oxygen from seeping out. In general, it is advisable not to smoke or have any flammable material within the vicinity of any oxygen apparatus. Using an electrical device inside an oxygen tent also could be hazardous.

Harold Luntz

Harold 'Harry' Luntz  (born 1937 in South Africa) is an Australian law professor. He is widely acknowledged as one of Australia's leading experts on torts law.

Career 
Luntz was educated at Athlone Boys' High School in Johannesburg and graduated from the University of Witwatersrand with degrees in arts and law. He served three years’ articles of clerkship at the same time as undertaking his law degree. In 1960, he was employed for a brief period as a solicitor in a firm of solicitors in Johannesburg and then took at Bachelor of Civil Law at Lincoln College, University of Oxford. He began publishing in academic journals in the early 1960s. Some of his appointments:

 1970 — Visiting Associate Professor at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada.
 1971 — Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
 1976 — Professor, University of Melbourne.
 1986–88 — Dean of the Law Faculty, University of Melbourne.
  Visiting Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford.

He was editor of the Australian Torts Law Journal. He wrote a text in 1974 that saw its fifth edition in 2008 ('Assessment of Damages for Personal Injury and Death'). This text is widely quoted in the highest courts of Australia, as well as England, Canada and the United States.

He is officially retired from University work, but he continues to maintain an office, teach, write essays and mark exams. Despite being an expert on negligence, he is a leading advocate of 'tort law reform' policy, that would replace the law of negligence with a no-fault compensation scheme, and/or provide such adequate social welfare that the awarding of damages becomes unnecessary.

He remains one of the world's foremost scholars and theoreticians of torts and damages law. On Australia Day (the 26th of January), he was awarded an AO for "distinguished service to legal education, as an academic and editor, to professional development, and to the community."

Sunshine Girl

Sunshine Girl refers to pinup girls featured in most of the daily newspapers of the Sun chain in Canada.

History
The feature started with the Toronto Sun, which was launched in 1971, and was adapted from British tabloids with similar featured women. While the British tabloids started publishing photos of topless models in 1970, the Sunshine Girls have never been photographed in this manner.  The photos usually feature a clothed or swim-suited female model, actress, athlete. Although primarily published in color since the 1990s, prior to this the feature alternated between color and black and white and was exclusively black and white in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Typically featured on page 3 of the Sun in through the 1990s, the Sunshine Girl moved to the back page of the sports section in the early 2000s. In 2011, the Sunshine Girl was restored to page 3 in some, not all, versions of the Sun, and two different photos of the same Sunshine Girl are run each day.  Famous former SUNshine girls include: Amanda Coetzer, Ann Rohmer, Trish Stratus , Stacy Keibler, and Krista Erickson (Sun News Network anchor, who appeared on the date of that network's 2011 launch).

Additional images of the day's Sunshine Girl are posted each day to the Sun newspapers' websites, along with  behind-the-scenes videos of select models.

At least twice a year, the Sun Group produces and sells a calendar featuring a selection of Sunshine Girls. Typically, the Girls who are selected for the calendar are chosen by the public online and by a mail-in vote.

Spinoffs and knockoffs
 There was a Sunshine Boy feature in the Sun as well, further on in each daily paper. This feature was discontinued in 2006.
 Sunshine Girl Magazine is a men's magazine published from Miami, Florida. Sunshine Girl Magazine is sprung out of the Suns annual Sunshine Girl calendar.

Criticism
The Sunshine Girl series has been criticized by some readers and media commentators for objectifying women. Critics have also condemned the series as degrading and inappropriate for a newspaper as a medium that purports to publish credible journalism. On November 14, 1985, the Ontario Press Council upheld at least one reader complaint, saying the feature "portrays women as sex objects", although there were no penalties attached to this ruling. Margaret Coulter of Toronto made the complaint, saying a newspaper was not an appropriate medium for the suggestive photos, which made her feel "embarrassed and offended." Coulter said she had the same feelings about the Sunshine Boy feature.

Norm (group)

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, the norm of a group is the intersection of the normalizers of all its subgroups. This is also termed the Baer norm, after Reinhold Baer.

The following facts are true for the Baer norm:

 It is a characteristic subgroup.
 It contains the center of the group.
 It is contained inside the second term of the upper central series.
 It is a Dedekind group, so is either abelian or has a direct factor isomorphic to the quaternion group.
 If it contains an element of infinite order, then it is equal to the center of the group.

Giarre

Giarre () is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily. The town is located about  southeast of Palermo and around  north of Catania.

Geography
Giarre is bounded by the municipalities of Acireale, Mascali, Milo, Riposto, Sant'Alfio, Santa Venerina and Zafferana Etnea. It forms a conurbation with the coastal town of Riposto.

History
Some historians suppose that the ancient Greek city of Kallipolis was situated in the same territory of the present-day town of Giarre, but nowadays there is no relevant proof of it.

Since the late 16th century until 1815 Giarre was a village of the county of Mascali.

During the fascist era Giarre was joined to Riposto under the name of Jonia, but separated again in 1945.

Main sights

The neo-classical cathedral, begun in 1794, is dedicated to the Spaniard St. Isidore, patron of Madrid.

Other sights include:
Oratory of St. Filippo Neri (18th century)
Sanctuary of Maria Santissima della Strada, the oldest church in the town (dating to 1081). Today little remains of the original medieval structure, having been replaced by a neoclassicist edifice.
Museum of Uses and Customs of the Etna people
Mediterraneum Aquarium

Giarre has attracted attention for its numerous unfinished buildings and amenities, initiated with public money in the 1990s but never used. A small number have been converted to other uses, including a multi-storey car park; residents also see the prospect of some tourism, as the town has come to be regarded as the centre of this style of urban planning.

Tabernacle of Unity

The Tabernacle of Unity is a small book, first published in July 2006, containing Baháʼu'lláh's Tablet, from the early ʻAkká period, to Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib, a prominent Zoroastrian, and a companion Tablet addressed to Mírzá Abu'l-Faḍl, the secretary to Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib at that time.

These, together with three shorter inspirational Tablets, offer a glimpse of Baháʼu'lláh's relationship with the followers of Zoroastrianism.

The title of this work is taken from the following passage:

Tablet to Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib (Lawh-i-Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib)
This Tablet, revealed at the request of Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib in pure Persian, consists of 19 paragraphs. It emphasizes the universality of Baháʼu'lláh's prophetic claim, and includes some of the central teachings of the Baháʼí Faith.

Responses to questions of Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib from a Tablet to Mírzá Abu'l-Faḍl
This is a lengthy Tablet revealed on 1 July 1882. Among the subjects discussed are:
The nature of creation.
The connection between faith and reason.
The reconciliation of the differences that exist among the laws and ordinances of various religions (Hinduism, the Mahabad Faith, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam).
Their respective claims to exclusivity.
Their differing degrees of eagerness to welcome others into their fold.

Tablet of the Seven Questions (Lawh-i-Haft Pursis͟h)
This Tablet is Baháʼu'lláh's reply to questions asked by Ustád Javán-Mard, an early Baháʼí of Zoroastrian background and ex-student of Mánikc͟hí Ṣáḥib.

The questions are relating to the following subjects:
In what tongue and towards what direction should God be worshipped?
The Faith of God
Opposition
S͟háh Bahrám
The Bridge of Sirát, Paradise and Hell
The soul
The lineage and ancestry of Baháʼu'lláh

Two other tablets
These two short Tablets, each addressed to a believer of Zoroastrian background, are inspirational in nature, calling the believers for deeds, not words.

BizkaiBus

BizkaiBus is the name for bus services serving the province of Biscay, Spain. It is named after the Basque name of the province, Bizkaia. The buses can be identified by their distinctive green (until 2009 yellow) livery.

The bus network is integrated in the Barik card system.

Characteristics 
BizkaiBus is the result of the combination of several companies that offered bus travel services in the province of Biscay, TCSA, CAV, PESA, Encartaciones, Euskotren, Adnor and Autobuses de Lujua.  The service is funded by the authority of Biscay or Diputacion Foral and operates as many as 100 bus lines. Some of the lines are seasonal, and only operate during certain months, for example a number of summer season lines to beach areas.

Various bus companies have steadily joined the Bizkaibus consortium over the years. The bus lines of EuskoTren joined in the year 2002, Adnor joined in 2005, and Autobuses de Lujua in 2006.  Of the original companies offering bus public transport in Biscay Vigiola remains the only non-affiliated bus operator.

In 2006 the line between Bilbao and Castro Urdiales was excluded from Bizkaibus, as the line was solely funded by the Biscay local authority and the town of Castro Urdiales lies in the province of Cantabria.

Lines departing from Bilbao 
There are around 100 lines operated by Bizkaibus. The numbering system depends on the zone of Biscay. The routes in Uribe Kosta begin with 21, University routes begin with 23, the routes on the left bank of Greater Bilbao begin with 31, those of the right bank of Greater Bilbao are prefixed 34, the River Nervion area routes are designated with the number 36, the Encartaciones region  33, the routes operated by the company CAV the number 35, and PESA the number 39.

There are systems that provide for absolute data export but then the system imported into has to allow for all available data fields to be imported. Similarly, there are transaction logs in many modern database systems. The acceptance of these transaction records into any new system could be very important for any verification of such imported data.

In research, gaining access to source data may be cumbersome. Particularly where sensitive personal data is involved, security and redaction (obscuring information) may be an issue.
