Hurricane Iota was a devastating late-season Category 4 Atlantic hurricane which caused severe damage to areas of Central America already devastated by Hurricane Eta just less than two weeks prior. The 31st and final tropical cyclone, 30th named storm, 14th hurricane, and record-tying seventh major hurricane of the record-breaking 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Iota originated as a tropical wave that moved into the Eastern Caribbean on November 10. Over the next few days, the wave began to become better organized and by November 13, it developed into a tropical depression north of Colombia. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Iota six hours later. The storm was initially impacted by some wind shear, but a center relocation and relaxed shear allowed Iota to quickly strengthen into a hurricane on November 15, after which it underwent explosive intensification, peaking at Category 5 with wind speeds of 160 mph (257 km/h), operationally. However, the peak was adjusted down to a 155 mph (249 km/h) high-end Category 4 in post-season analysis. After weakening slightly, Iota made landfall in northeastern Nicaragua as a high-end Category 4 hurricane, becoming the strongest recorded hurricane to make landfall in Nicaragua in November. Iota then rapidly weakened as it moved inland, dissipating on November 18, the storm killed 61 people and 41 were reported missing during the storm

The Peace of Riga, or The Treaty of Riga (Polish:Traktat Ryski), was signed in Riga on March 18 1921 by the Second Polish Republic, Soviet Russia, and Soviet Ukraine. The treaty ended the Polish-Soviet War.

The borders between Poland and Russia that were changed by the treaty stayed the same until World War II. They were then changed by the Yalta Conference and the Potsdam Conference.

Background 
World War I changed the imperial borders of Europe. In 1918, after the Russian Revolution, Russia had given up Poland in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and the war ended when Germany surrendered. Poland was re-created after over 100 years of being split up by three countries.

The Russian Civil War gave Poland the chance to regain the land controlled by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that had been taken by Russia in the 18th century. Meanwhile, the Soviet leaders wanted to respond to the leader of Poland, Józef Piłsudski, who had moved into Ukraine, by attacking Poland, which the Soviets saw as a land bridge to Western Europe, which they could cross to expand communism to the west. That started the Polish-Soviet War and ended in a victory for Poland after the Battle of Warsaw, which made both sides tired and want to end the war. Other victories by the Poles placed them under pressure by the League of Nations, which also wanted to end the war after they had taken a lot of land.

Negotiations 
Peace talks started in Minsk on August 17, 1920, but since the Polish counterattack had moved closer, they moved to Riga and continued on September 21. The Soviets suggested two solutions, one on 21 September and a second on 28 September. The Poles suggested another solution on October 2. Three days later, the Soviets suggested a change to the offer to the Poles, who accepted. An end to the war was signed on 12 October, and the war actually ended on 18 October 1920. The leading negotiators were, Jan Dąbski from Poland and Adolph Joffe from Soviet Russia. The Soviets did not let the noncommunist Ukrainian leaders be in the negotiations. 

The Soviets' military problems made them give up lots of the land that they wanted. However to many other people, it looked as if Poland had  lost the war. Most of the Polish negotiators were members of the National Democrats, who were Piłsudski's political enemies. They did not want more than a third of the people living in the bigger Poland to be non-Polish and so they agreed to get less land than they would have gotten even though many Poles would be left on the Soviet side of the border, and the Soviets had been willing to give up even Minsk

Francisco Rafael Sagasti Hochhausler (born October 10, 1944) is a Peruvian engineer, academic, and politician. He was the 62nd President of Peru from  November 16, 2020 to 28 July 2021. 

In March 2020, he was elected as a Member of Congress for the Lima constituency. 

He is a founding member of the Purple Party.

Presidency
Following the removal of Martín Vizcarra, President of Congress Manuel Merino became President of Peru after a controvertial express impeachment due to allegations of "moral incapacity" (a 19th century concept for mental incapacity) considered a covert parliamentary coup by many people. After a week of violent repression of the massive protestsMerino resigned as the country's leader and Sagasti was elected by his fellow Congressmen to succeed Merino as president of Congress on the 16th November. The next day Sagasti succeeded him as acting President of Peru. 

Sagasti is scheduled to conclude the presidential term on 28 July 2021. He would be eligible to seek election for a full term, however the Purple Party nominated Julio Guzmán as their candidate for the 2021 Peruvian general election, with Sagasti on the ticket as Second Vice President.

His government coincided with the development of social conflicts such as the agrarian strike in Ica, Piura and La Libertad and Apurímac, which were resolved after the repeal of the so-called "Chlimper Law" that promoted investment in agriculture through meager labor benefits for workers from the field. His government has called itself a “transitional and emergency government”.

The Quebec Act was a British law passed in 1774.  It was about Quebec in Canada.

Britain ruled Quebec after the French and Indian War.  Before that, it had been ruled by France.  Most of the white people in Quebec spoke the French language and used the Roman Catholic part of the Christian religion instead of the Church of England part of the Christian religion.

The British Parliament passed the Quebec Act in 1774.  It said that French Canadians did not need to say a loyalty oath any more.  It gave Roman Catholics more rights.  It let the French Canadians use some French laws instead of only British laws.

This made many British settlers in Canada angry because they did not like Roman Catholics.  They called the Quebec Act an Intolerable Act.

It is part of the Fabaceae, which also contains other legumes. It may also be called  butter bean, but that name can also be used for the Lima bean, which is a different species. The runner bean originally grew in South America. It was brought to Europe in the 17th century. 

Runner beans are more resistant to cold than Great northern beans. For this reason, runner beans are commonly cultivated in Europe, also in higher altitudes. Today, the runner bean is either grown as an ornamental plants, or to get food. Usually, poles of a height of  to  are commonly used, when the plant is grown in the garden.

A set-top box is a small device that adds extra functionality to another media device, often a television. In general, there are different kinds of such devices:

 Active devices provide a signal to the TV, they do not get any feedback from the TV. Examples of such devices are video game consoles, or DVD players.
 Passive devices rely on the TV, they don't add any new functionality; they are rare, though
 Bidirectional devices provide a signal to the TV, but they also get information back. Examples for bidirectional devices are videocassette recorders.

The most important functions of a set top box are media playback (DVD, VHS videos, perhaps interacve as a game console), recording of the data received, and being able to receive data using different channels (for example Satellite TV, TV over internet) or methods (sometimes, signals need to be decrypted first; some people want to watch digital TV on an analogue television).

The evolution of set-top boxes can be traced back to early 1980s, when a cable converter box was required to receive extra analog cable TV channels and convert them to content capable of being displayed on a regular television screen. The cable converter boxes came with a wired or wireless remote control, which helped to switch a channel to a low-VHF frequency for viewing on the TV. Some newer television receivers significantly reduced the need for external set-top boxes but they are still in wide use. Cable converter boxes are sometimes required to descramble premium cable channels and receive interactive services such as pay per view, video on demand and home shopping channels.

In computer science, a nondeterministic algorithm is an algorithm that does not give the same result each time it is used.

Even for the same input, it may show different behaviors on different runs. This may be contrasted with a deterministic algorithm.
The projection of an automaton almost always results in nondeterminism.

Exhibiting nondeterminism; involving choices between indistinguishable possibilities.

Being nondeterministic; involving arbitrary choices; necessitating the choice between various indistinguishable possibilities.

Dependence on factors other than initial state and input.

Moving from a single-processor to a multi-processor system often exposes hidden nondeterminism due to invalid assumptions about scheduling.  

There are several ways an algorithm may behave differently from run to run. Referring to the inability to objectively predict an outcome or result of a process due to lack of knowledge of a cause and effect relationship or the inability to know initial conditions.

Non-deterministic definitions 

Non-predictive. Referring to the inability to objectively predict an outcome or result of a process due to lack of knowledge of a cause and effect relationship or the inability to know initial conditions.

In telecommunications switching and routing, the unpredictability of a path between nodes. See also node, path, route, and switch.
