Control point (mathematics)
In computer-aided geometric design a control point is a member of a set of points used to determine the shape of a spline curve or, more generally, a surface or higher-dimensional object.

For Bézier curves, it has become customary to refer to the ⁠⁠-vectors ⁠⁠ in a parametric representation  of a curve or surface in ⁠⁠-space as control points,  while the scalar-valued functions ⁠⁠, defined over the relevant parameter domain, are the corresponding weight or blending functions. 
Some would reasonably insist, in order to give intuitive geometric meaning to the word "control", that the blending functions form a partition of unity, i.e., that the ⁠⁠ are nonnegative and sum to one. This property implies that the curve lies within the convex hull of its control points. This is the case for Bézier's representation of a polynomial curve as well as for the B-spline representation of a spline curve or tensor-product spline surface.

Partition of unity
In mathematics, a partition of unity on a topological space ⁠⁠ is a set ⁠⁠ of continuous functions from ⁠⁠ to the unit interval [0,1] such that for every point :

there is a neighbourhood of ⁠⁠ where all but a finite number of the functions of ⁠⁠ are zero, and

the sum of all the function values at ⁠⁠ is 1, i.e.,

Partitions of unity are useful because they often allow one to extend local constructions to the whole space.  They are also important in the interpolation of data, in signal processing, and the theory of spline functions.

Jack M. Ducker
Jack M. Ducker (years flourished 1910–1930) was a European painter (possibly of Scottish origin) who specialized in Scottish highland landscapes.

Although most of the artist's documented works are undated they are thought to have been created from about 1910 through 1930, with at least one oil on canvas attributed to the late 19th century by Christie's auction house.  Little is known about Ducker personally, though dozens of the artist's works have been sold at auction (including sales at Bonhams and Christie's, in addition to a number of other auction houses).  Ducker is interchangeably known in art-reference sources as J. Ducker, J. M. Ducker, Jack Ducker, and Jack M. Ducker, and possibly as John or James Ducker.

Art auction
An art auction or fine art auction is the sale of art works, in most cases in an auction house.

In England this dates from the latter part of the 17th century, when in most cases the names of the auctioneers were suppressed. In June 1693, John Evelyn mentions a "great auction of pictures (Lord Melfort's) in the Banqueting House, Whitehall", and the practice is frequently referred to by other contemporary and later writers.

Normally, an auction catalog, that lists the art works to be sold, is written and made available well before the auction date.

Some of the best known auction houses are Christie's and Sotheby's. The oldest auction house is Stockholm Auction House (Stockholms Auktionsverk). It was established in Sweden in 1674.
Clara Chiano
Clara Chiano (September 19, 1921 – November 27, 2000) was an American infielder who played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). Listed at 5' 0", 108 lb., Chiano batted and threw right handed. She was born in Arnold, Pennsylvania.

The diminutive Clara Chiano played semiprofessional softball in Racine, Wisconsin and Boston in the early 1940s. She joined the league with the Racine Belles club in its 1944 season.

After baseball, Chiano worked as an associate for the electronics industry in Dorchester, Massachusetts. She retired in 1983 and moved to Orange City in Florida.

The AAGPBL folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York, since November 5, 1988, that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.

Chiano was a long time resident of Orange City, Florida, where she died in 2000 at the age of 79.
