Compiled language
A compiled programming language is a programming language which is compiled. When a program is compiled, the compiler will change it from a programming language that a person can read, to a set of instructions that a computer can follow. These instructions (written in machine code) are then stored as an executable in a file. This file can be run quickly by the computer.
COVID-19 pandemic in Ecuador
Numbers
The number of deaths was believed to be higher than the official figure because not enough testing was being done. A New York Times analysis found 7,600 more deaths had happened from 1 March to 15 April as the mortality rate spiked to three times as much as usual. That showed that the official death toll was lower than the actual death toll.
Compiled language
The other kind of language is an interpreted language. A program, or even single lines, will be interpreted one line at a time by the computer. This is slower for a computer than following compiled instructions. But it can be faster to write and test programs that are interpreted.
Scripting languages are often interpreted. Some languages can be either compiled or interpreted. Java, Lisp, Python and AutoIT are examples.

The College Dropout
The College Dropout is the debut album by rapper and producer Kanye West, released February 10, 2004. It was nominated for Grammy Award for Album of the Year and won Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks" in 2005. The album has received great acclaim from critics and mainstream fans alike, for its balance of mainstream commercial appeal and its innovative subject matter. It has been called one of the greatest albums of all time by Time and Rolling Stone.
Background and production
Kanye West had gotten attention for his production but was not well-known for his rapping. He was turned down by record labels because he didn't have the gangsta image that was popular at that time. He eventually signed with Roc-A-Fella Records. In 2002, West was in a bad car accident which gave him a shattered jaw, so his jaw had to be wired shut. He recorded a song called "Through the Wire" with his jaw still wired shut. This song helped him get a starting point for the album.
The album was recorded at The Record Plant in California. The beats used mainly had pitch shifted samples from gospel and soul records. Some of the beats used were gathered over a long period of time. When the album was finished, it was leaked. West used this as an opportunity to re-assess the album and improve it. He added strings and gospel choirs into his songs.
Lyrics
The album was different from the gangsta rap that was popular at that time. The lyrics were on subjects that affected West's life such as family, religion, racism, materialism and more.
Commercial performance
The College Dropout reached #1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, and reached #2 on the Billboard 200. In the UK, it peaked at #12 on the album chart and spent several months in the top 20. The album went triple platinum in the United States.
The first single from the album, "Through the Wire", was recorded while West's mouth was wired shut after a near-fatal car accident in October 2002. It features a Chaka Khan sample, peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart while its successor "All Falls Down", which features R&B singer Syleena Johnson, peaked at #7. The third single, "Jesus Walks", peaked at #11 while a fourth extract, "The New Workout Plan", made a minor impression on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts (see list of US Billboard chart positions below). In the UK, "Through The Wire" peaked at #9 on the singles sales chart, "All Falls Down" peaked at #10, and "Jesus Walks" peaked at #11.

Richard Dolan
Richard Jason Dolan (born 27 January 1974) is an author, businessman and speaker known for “The only Canadian non-NBA player to have received 3-NBA championship rings for his performance coaching of 2 different NBA championship teams.”
Early life
Dolan grew up in what was considered an inner city neighbourhood of Toronto, originally growing up in Thorncliﬀe Park until his parents divorced when he was ﬁve. Eleven years later at the age of 16, he moved out to on his own and never returned. Dolan worked during his high school years as a weight rack boy for Gold’s Gym, cleaning barbells and weighted machines of their plates. One day, being inspired by the hit 80s movie Wall Street and wanting to lift himself from financial hardship, he decided to leave high school and enter the investment business in whichever way he could.
Early career
Dolan began his career in 1992, entering the investment industry as a telemarketer (often referred to as a ‘cold call cowboy’). He would make over three hundred cold calls a day on behalf of the investment brokerage where we worked at the time. It was during this period when Richard was recognized as a driven and motivated young individual whose raw talents could be nurtured and primed for growth if adequately trained. Dolan was honing his abilities and learning by any means available from legends of the time, including Zig Ziglar, Bob Proctor, Nick Murray, Stephen Covey, and Tony Robbins. He was 18 years of age.
Author
Following years of studying and research inside areas such as positive psychology, behavioural ﬁnance, happiness economics, and investor resilience, Dolan became an author, uniquely expressing his research and philosophy of urban ﬁnancial life planning, performance psychology, real estate investing, and human betterment.
Dolan became a public speaker and became a recurring speaker on the stage of The Power Within across various cities in both Canada and the US; sharing the stage with political ﬁgures ranging from former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, US Ambassador Fred Bush, former first lady Michelle Obama. and Former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox. Dolan has also shared the stage with other notable figures such as Richard Branson, Deepak Chopra, and Robin Sharma. Leveraging his unique research and business acumen, Richard became an advisor to entrepreneurs such as super car builder Horatio Pagani, hip hop artist Drake, Rémy Martin, BRON Studios, and couture fashion institution - Chanel.
Theories
Dolan’s writing and speaking is based on his very own urban life philosophy, “Dolanetics: A Model to More” where he asserts "our relationship to life and all our experiences of it, are shaped because we’re all born with a unique source of origination, a state of thrownness, which we were thrown into; comprised of people, environment, beliefs, and conversations shaping our relationship inside the world of wealth and performance.” More of Richard’s urban financial life philosophy and performance coaching can be found in curricula and programming titled The Sport of Money, The Great Financial Life, and Think Legacy and Richer.
Performance Advisory
Dolan was gifted two rings by Juwan Howard of the Miami Heat’s back-to-back championship wins in 2012-2013 for his role as a performance advisor. Additionally, Dolan’s performance coaching was recognized once again, as Mike Mancias gifted Dolan an NBA championship ring after the LA Lakers won their last NBA championship.

Aeolipile
An aeolipile or Hero's Engine, is a simple kind of steam engine believed to have been invented by Hero of Alexandria in the 1st century AD. It may have been the first steam engine made.
How it works
A ball is free to rotate on a hinge, 2 or 4 L-shaped nozzles stick out of the ball, the ball is to be filled with water, and a source of heat (such as fire) is placed underneath the ball, as the water gets hot, it turns to steam that forces its way out of the nozzles, pushing the ball around, therefore, the aeolipile is a kind of reaction turbine, and the nozzles use a similar principle to rockets.
Giuseppe Galasso

Agent 47 is a fictional character and the protagonist of Hitman (video game series) franchise. The character was created by the Danish company IO Interactive.

Appearance
Agent 47 wears a pure black suit, black leather gloves, a white dress shirt and a red tie. The Hitman video game series allows the player to engage in stealth (sneaking) mode strategy to not direct attention to himself. Agent 47 has the ability to change what he looks like by exchanging different costumes which can be stolen from enemies or from places to make the progression easier. The outfits can come from many different NPCs. Agent 47 has no hair with very white skin and blue eyes. His ICA file from Hitman: Absolution states his height as 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m). In Hitman: Enemy Within, his weight is given as 187 lbs. Agent 47 has a bar code tattooed on the back of his head which was very prominent in all games except for Hitman: Absolution where the bar code was most of the time covered in order for the character to disguise himself after it was known that Agent 47 has this bar code that could get him more notoriety.
His bar code is considered as a security key to access areas of the facility where he was created and trained. Although, in Hitman: Blood Money game failed to mention the bar code as a notable characteristic.
Agent 47's facial features are quite imposing, with a long face, large cheekbones, prominent brow, recessed forehead and ice blue eyes. Early in Hitman: Absolution, 47 tries to remove his iconic bar code with a razor, but it remains visible at the end of the game.
Character history
Agent 47 was born on September 5, 1964 in a Romanian asylum with the number 5-901234-123457 tattooed on the back of his head in the form of a bar code. "64-05-09" refer to his date of birth, "04" indicates Series IV, "01" documents his class and "47" is the order in which he was cloned. According to the Hitman game series and the Hitman novel, Agent 47 is a genetically-enhanced clone and the culmination of decades of secret research into gene augmentation whom is of English descent. His creation was funded by five criminal masterminds who donated their own DNA to the project. In Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Agent 47 decided to quit killing people for money and lived in a shelter provided by Vittorio, but had to change his mind after Vittorio got kidnapped. Eventually after many missions handled successfully by 47, Diana brought the Agency to its knees. She flushed all accounts, cut off all communication lines, exposed the Agency and used the confusion to vanish and 47 puts an end to Diana handling a hit on her.
Personality
Even though 47 is meant to be an emotionless assassin, he shows signs of morality, seen in Hitman 2: Silent Assassin confessing his sins (killing people for money) to Father Vittorio. Subsequently, he is so depressed at the apparent loss of his spiritual guide that he agrees to take on the "suicide mission" of killing Deewana Ji. He is very quiet to the point of being socially awkward which is perhaps the biggest of his very weaknesses. He prefers to stay alone and he has admiration for few people he befriends, especially Diana and Vittorio.
Agent 47 approaches his assassinations with professionalism but will, however show no remorse or regression when it comes to killing or silencing witnesses. Agent 47 speaks in a very formal tone, a tone that shows no threat, rarely swearing or even raising his voice. Given his fees, 47 would have to be a multi-millionaire from his contract earnings but never stops going for new contracts. He only spends his money on simple things like food, suits, gear, and shelter, although he is also known to donate some of it to Father Vittorio.
