Median cut
Median cut is an algorithm to sort data of an arbitrary number of dimensions into series of sets by recursively cutting each set of data at the median point along the longest dimension. Median cut is typically used for color quantization.  For example, to reduce a 64k-colour image to 256 colours, median cut is used to find 256 colours that match the original data well.

Color quantization
In computer graphics, color quantization or color image quantization is quantization applied to color spaces; it is a process that reduces the number of distinct colors used in an image, usually with the intention that the new image should be as visually similar as possible to the original image. Computer algorithms to perform color quantization on bitmaps have been studied since the 1970s. Color quantization is critical for displaying images with many colors on devices that can only display a limited number of colors, usually due to memory limitations, and enables efficient compression of certain types of images.

The name "color quantization" is primarily used in computer graphics research literature; in applications, terms such as optimized palette generation, optimal palette generation, or decreasing color depth are used. Some of these are misleading, as the palettes generated by standard algorithms are not necessarily the best possible.
Girls Talk (Elvis Costello song)
"Girls Talk" is a new wave song written by Elvis Costello and first recorded by Dave Edmunds in 1978.

Costello later released his version of the song as a B-side to his version of "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down", a rendition featuring a soul-inflected arrangement with a prominent bass line performed by Attractions bassist Bruce Thomas. Both Edmunds' and Costello's versions have attracted critical acclaim.

The D'Arcy Concession (Persian: امتیازنامه دارسی, romanized: Emtiâznâmeh-ye Darsi) was a petroleum oil concession that was signed in 1901 between William Knox D'Arcy and Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar of Persia.

Facing high costs, they were about to give up but eventually struck large commercial quantities of oil in 1908.

In this period, South East Asia was known for its women merchants, because commerce was mainly a small scale business included in the household chores and therefore regarded women's role, and there was no large scale merchant business with the exception of the trade between the Royal Houses and the foreign merchants.  She did, however, manage large scale merchant business, which was not common in Java except for royals or foreigners.

Rhaucus
Rhaucus or Rhaukos (Ancient Greek: Ῥαῦκος) was a town of ancient Crete. From the story told about the Cretan bees by Antenor in his Cretica it seems that there were two cities of this name in Crete. The existence of two places so called in the island might give rise to some such legend as that which he mentions.

The site of one Rhaucus is at or near modern Agios Myronas, between Knossos and Gortyna, and from its proximity to Mount Ida, we can infer that it is the more ancient.
