Lewis gun

The Lewis gun (or Lewis automatic machine gun or Lewis automatic rifle) is a First World War–era light machine gun.

History 
The Lewis gun was invented by U.S. Army colonel Isaac Newton Lewis in 1911, based on initial work by Samuel Maclean.

The start of the First World War increased demand for the Lewis gun. BSA began production, under the name Model 1914. The design was officially approved for service on 15 October 1915 under the name "Gun, Lewis, .303-cal." No Lewis guns were produced in Belgium during the war; all manufacture was carried out by BSA in England and the Savage Arms Company in the US.

Production 

The Lewis was produced by BSA and Savage Arms during the war. The two versions were very similar, but there were enough differences  to stop them being completely interchangeable. This problem was fixed by the time of the Second World War.

Design details 

The Lewis gun was gas operated. 

The Lewis gun used a pan magazine holding 47 or 97 rounds.

The gun fired about 500–600 rounds per minute. It weighed 28 lb (12.7 kg), only about half as much as a typical medium machine gun of the era, such as the Vickers machine gun. It could be carried and used by one soldier.

Service

First World War 

During the first days of the war, the Belgian Army had put in service 20 prototypes (5 in 7.65×53mm and 15 in .303) for the defense of Namur.

Aircraft use 

The Lewis was the first machine gun fired from an airplane. On 7 June 1912, Captain Charles Chandler of the US Army fired a  Lewis gun from the foot-bar of a Wright Model B Flyer.

Net Nanny

Net Nanny is a Parental control software created by Gordon Ross in 1995 that allows parents to monitor and control their children's phones, tablets, and PCs.

Features 
The original version of Net Nanny released in 1995 was a web browser that could control web and IRC content, block images, and mask profanity. Newer versions include the ability to
 Block websites based on categories or on key-words
 Receive alerts when the child accesses blocked content
 View all activities in a "Family Feed"
 Pause or disable internet on a child's device
 Set daily screen time limits
The software blocks websites by the content on the website rather than by their URL. This prevents children from accessing inappropriate content using a web proxy.

History 
Net Nanny was created and started by Gordon Ross in 1993 in Vancouver and moved to Bellevue, Washington in 2000. He became inspired to create a parental control service after viewing a sting operation on a pedophile soliciting a child online. In 1998, the company launched BioPassword, a bio metric security access system based on technology it acquired from Stanford University. On November 14, 2002, Net Nanny filed for bankruptcy and was sold to BioNet Systems, LLC, a maker of bio metric security software in Issaquah, Washington. LookSmart Ltd, a commercial web search company based in San Francisco acquired Net Nanny for $5.3 million in stock and cash in April 2004.

In January of 2007, Net Nanny was bought by ContentWatch, Inc and was moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. In June 2012, Net Nanny was made available to iOS and Android users. These mobile apps allowed parents to view and manage the applications on the device. In 2013, Net Nanny Social was launched to allow parents to monitor their children's social media activity and to protect against cyber bullying, cyber stalking, grooming by sexual predators, and the spread of sensitive images and videos.

In 2016, Zift Software, LLC, acquired Net Nanny from ContentWatch and moved to Philadelphia. On May 28, 2019, Zift's applications were rebranded as the Net Nanny 10 that is currently in use today.

Inugami

The Inugami () is a type of canine deity in Japanese mythology. He is described as a yōkai with the appearance of a dog, and often as a very powerful spirit whose have the power to possess a human being if he wants to, as well.

It is widely believed that, in order for an Inugami to be born, one must bury a dog in its entirety, leaving visible only the part of the neck and head. In this, while waiting for the dog's death, the person who buried it must tell him all his pains and evil deeds she has committed at some point, until he dies. When this happens, the person must then cut off the dog's head and sewe it back to the body, and thus the Inugami will arise.

Inugamis were often linked to important Japanese clans and families, and sometimes these same families were accused of having been possessed by a Kitsune (a spirit with the appearance of a fox) as well, gaining fame and power very quickly.
