On the Situation of Theatre and Cinema
"On the Situation of Theatre and Cinema" (Persian: در موقعیت تئاتر و سینما) designates a thirty-minute speech by Bahram Beyzai given in the evening of October 12, 1977 in the premises of the German Cultural Institute, Tehran. A SAVAK report estimated that about eight thousand constituted its audience. The text as well as the voice of this speech was subsequently published numerous times and came to be among the best-known discourses on freedom of speech and censorship in Iran.

The Goethe Poetry Nights of 1977 was held by the Writers' Association of Iran, and Beyzai, as a founding member of the association, delivered this speech on the third night, a rainy Wednesday evening.

Bahram Beyzai
Bahrām Beyzai (also spelt Beyzāêi, Beizāi, Beyzāêi, Beyzāee, Persian: بهرام بیضائی; 26 December 1938 – 26 December 2025) was an Iranian filmmaker, playwright, theatre director, researcher, and ostād ("master") of Persian literature, mythology, and Iranian studies.

Beyzaie was the son of the poet Ne'matallah Beyzai (best known by his literary pseudonym "Zokā'i"), and there were several other poets in his family.

Before he started making films in 1970, he was a leading playwright. Despite his belated start in cinema, Beyzai is often considered a pioneer of a generation of filmmakers whose works are sometimes described as the Iranian New Wave. His Bashu, the Little Stranger (1986) was voted "Best Iranian Film of all time" in November 1999 by the Persian movie magazine Picture World poll of 150 Iranian critics and professionals.

From 2010, Beyzai lived and taught at Stanford University in California, United States.

Vladlen Koltun
Vladlen Koltun (Hebrew: ולדלן קולטן; born 1980) is an Israeli-American computer scientist and intelligent systems researcher. He currently serves as distinguished scientist at Apple Inc. His main areas of research are artificial intelligence, computer vision, machine learning, and pattern recognition. He also made a significant contribution to robotics and autonomous driving.

Koltun's contributions to research and publications are in the areas of convolutional neural networks, reality simulation, view synthesis, photorealistic rendering, urban self-driving cars simulation, 3D computer graphics, robot locomotion, and drones maneuverability in dynamic environments.

He is also known for his work on the photorealism enhancement system, and for the critical study of the Hirsch index, a metric of scientists' work that is common in the community.

Unbiased rendering
In computer graphics, unbiased rendering or photorealistic rendering are rendering techniques that avoid systematic errors, or statistical bias, in computing an image’s radiance. Bias in this context means inaccuracies like dimmer light or missing effects such as soft shadows, caused by approximations. Unbiased methods, such as path tracing and its derivatives, simulate real-world lighting and shading with full physical accuracy. In contrast, biased methods, including traditional ray tracing, sacrifice precision for speed by using approximations that introduce errors—often seen as blur. This blur reduces variance (random noise) by averaging light samples, enabling faster computation with fewer samples needed for a clean image.
Archaeological Museum of Argostoli
The Archaeological Museum of Argostoli, also known as the Kefalonia Museum is a museum in Argostoli, Greece, located a few blocks south of the central square, across the Municipal Theater on R. Vergoti Street.

The old museum was destroyed by an earthquake in 1953. The next building was built in 1960 and designed by the well-known architect Patroklos Karantinos. The museum also featured many other items of pottery and jewelry from excavations around the island and Melissani Lake. It also contains some 3rd-century BC tombstones, a  2nd-century BC mosaic from the temple of Poseidon and archived photographs of an 1899 excavation at Sami.

The building was damaged in the eartchquake of 2014 and was demolished a few years later. The construction of a new building started.

Patroklos Karantinos
Patroklos Karantinos  (Greek: Πάτροκλος Καραντινός; 10 April 1903 – 4 December 1976) was a Greek architect of early modernism in Greece. He was born in Constantinople and died in Athens.

Karantinos studied architecture in Athens and then went to France, where he studied with Auguste Perret. He was professor of architecture at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 1959 to 1968. He is particularly known for the design of many museums in Greece, including the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. His work was part of the architecture event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics.
Medusa Model 47
The Medusa Model 47 (or Medusa M47) is a revolver manufactured by Phillips & Rodgers Inc. of Huntsville, Texas, in the late 1990s. Based on the Smith & Wesson K frame, it is notable for being capable of chambering and firing approximately 25 different cartridges within the 9 mm caliber family, such as: .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .380 ACP, and 9×19mm Parabellum. While smaller diameter cartridges can be fired, accuracy suffers. The revolver was not a commercial success and the company that produced them ceased operations after just a few hundred units were made.

Firing pin
A firing pin or striker is a part of the firing mechanism of a firearm that impacts the primer in the base of a cartridge and causes it to fire.  In firearms terminology, a striker is a particular type of firing pin where a compressed spring acts directly on the firing pin to provide the impact force rather than it being struck by a hammer.

The terms may also be used for a component of equipment or a device which has a similar function.  Such equipment or devices include: artillery, munitions and pyrotechnics.
Chinese influences on Islamic pottery
Chinese influences on Islamic pottery cover a period starting from at least the 8th century CE to the 19th century. The influence of Chinese ceramics on Islamic pottery has to be viewed in the broader context of the considerable importance of Chinese culture on Islamic arts in general.

Cobalt blue
Cobalt blue is a blue pigment made by sintering cobalt(II) oxide with aluminium(III) oxide (alumina) at 1200 °C. Chemically, cobalt blue pigment is cobalt(II) oxide-aluminium oxide, or cobalt(II) aluminate, CoAl2O4. Cobalt blue is lighter and less intense than the (iron-cyanide based) pigment Prussian blue. It is extremely stable, and has historically been used as a coloring agent in ceramics (especially Chinese porcelain), jewelry, and paint. Transparent glasses are tinted with the silica-based cobalt pigment "smalt".
