Geoff Huston (internet)

Geoff Huston is a scientist who orchestrated the construction of the first internet network in between Australian universities known as AARNet.
==Career==
===Studies===
Geoff Huston studied at the Australian National University where he both got his Bachelor of Science and then his Masters of Science which specialized in computer science. He then kept on working at ANU on computer networks.
===Work on AARNet===
Computer networks had become common within universities but there were no real networks connecting universities to each other except for small networks like CISRONET and SPEARNet. These single protocol networks were not compatible with every computer and therefore had not been widely adopted. The lack of a real network in between universities a decade after the creation of ARPANet pushed academics to organize in an attempt to create a network similar to it. The Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee was approached to build the network and following a review of the initiative they recruited Huston to design and implement the network. He was chosen for the job because he had already worked on a plan to build the network previously.
After his plan was approved, Huston bought the necessary routers and set off with his colleague Peter Elford to set up these routers on each campus effectively bringing in 1990 the long awaited Australian Academic and Research Network online. The network was extremely popular from the get go and required constant upgrades to keep up with demand. The pressure to upgrade the network was so strong that the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee sold AARNet to Telstra in 1995. This acquisition also included Huston as his expertise on the network was key for its development.
===Work post AARNet===
While Telstra's 1996 proposal for AARNet2 was not accepted, Huston stayed at the company and developed the it's Internet offerings as the Chief Internet Scientist until 2005. 
==Opinions==
While looking back at his role in the spread of the Internet, Geoff has expressed frustration at how the Internet has been developed and how it has impacted society. He referred to it as a "gigantic vanity-reinforcing distorted TikTok selfie". He believes that the fundamental protocols that underpin the Web have been badly programmed and that they do not guarantee a safe internet. Likewise he thinks that the Internet has been perverted into a space in which misinformation is rampant and where a new predatory marketplace has been established. He also supports and advocates for Net neutrality.

Geoffrey L. Cohen

Geoffrey L. Cohen is the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business, professor of psychology and, by courtesy, at the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. He is also a faculty affiliate of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. His research focuses on how brief interventions can create long-lasting psychological and behavioral change. In a 2007 paper, Cohen and a co-author coined the term “belonging uncertainty” to describe the experience of members of marginalized groups in academic and professional settings and showed through experimental research that Black students’ academic achievement increased with an intervention designed to dispel their doubts about social belonging. In the fall of 2021, W.W. Norton & Company will publish Cohen’s book, Belonging, based on that influential research.
== Education ==
Cohen attended high school at West Windsor-Plainsboro North High School in New Jersey and graduated with a B.A. in psychology, magna cum laude, from Cornell University in 1992. He earned a Ph.D. in psychology from Stanford University in 1998. 
== Career and research ==
Before joining Stanford University, Cohen held academic appointments at the University of Washington, Yale University, and the University of Colorado Boulder at Boulder.
Cohen’s work is based in the belief that one way to understand psychological processes is to try to change them. At Stanford, he runs the Cohen Lab, which investigates how, when, and why people change through laboratory and randomized experiments, longitudinal studies, and content analyses, with a focus on racial and gender achievement gaps. His research has examined adolescents’ misperceptions of their peers, how different cultures view “passion” in relation to achievement, and how to reduce school discipline rates for Black and Latino boys through interventions that reduce worries about belonging.

Geologist

A geologist is a kind of scientist that examines the processes that form the Earth and other terrestrial planets, as well as the solid, liquid, and gaseous materials that makes up Earth and the other terrestrial planets. Geologists often get their education in geology, although having a foundation in physics, chemistry, biology, or any of the other disciplines is helpful. Geology relies heavily on field study and field work; however, many subdisciplines also involve laboratory and digitalized work. Field research is an essential component of geology.
Geologists are employed in the mining and energy industries, where they look for natural resources such as precious and base metals, precious and natural gas, and petroleum. They are also at the vanguard of efforts to avoid and mitigate damage caused by natural hazards and catastrophes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and landslides. They have been at the forefront of these efforts for quite some time. Their research is utilised to raise awareness among the general population about the possibility of these occurrences. Geologists are also key contributors to climate change talks.

Geometry

With arithmetic, geometry is one of the earliest fields of mathematics. Geometry derives from the Ancient Greek words geo-, which means "earth," and metron, which means "measuring." Specifically, it is concerned with the qualities of space that are connected to the distance between figures, their form, size, and relative location in space. A geometer is a mathematician who specialises in geometry and works in the subject of geometrical analysis.
Geometry was nearly entirely committed to Euclidean geometry until the nineteenth century, which comprises the ideas of point, line and plane as well as the notions of distance, angle, surface and curve as its core concepts.
Several discoveries were made throughout the nineteenth century that significantly expanded the field of geometry. For example, Gauss' Theorema Egregium ("extraordinary theorem"), which states approximately that the Gaussian curvature of a surface is not reliant on any particular embedding in a Euclidean space, is among the earliest such findings. Thus, surfaces may be investigated intrinsically, i.e. as separate spaces, and this has been extended into the theory of manifolds and Riemannian geometry, among other areas.
Geometry, which was originally established to represent the physical world, now has applications in practically all disciplines, as well as in art, architecture, and other activities that are connected to graphics and computer graphics. Geometry has applications in a variety of disciplines of mathematics, even some that seem to be unrelated to geometry. For example, techniques of algebraic geometry are essential in Wiles's demonstration of Fermat's Last Theorem, a problem that was originally expressed in terms of simple arithmetic and that had remained unsolvable for many centuries before being discovered.

George Abel (St Louis)

George Abel (born 7 November 1916) is an American actor, Radio presenter and ringside announcer. He is known for his trademark style of sharing stories about entertaining wrestlers. Abel is best known for a long career in the entertainment industry at KSD Radio, KSD-TV, KPLR-TVs Wrestling. He gained national exposure for his multiple natural talents in the entertainment industry.
==Early life and education==
Abel was born on 7 November 1916 in St. Louis, Missouri. He has attended McBride High School and joined St. Louis University. 
==Career==
In 1943 after attending McBride High School and St Louis University, Abel, who possessed many talents started his career with KSD Radio as a news and sports announcer. He remained with the station until 1946, when he left St. Louis to pursue his passion to become an actor. Abel moved to Virginia to work at the well known Barter theatre where he replaced the actor Ernest Borgnine who had left the theatre to work in the movies. During his time at the Barter theatre, Abel worked in a number of shows until he felt lonely and decided to move back to his hometown and begin his television career. 
After being successful in publishing and radio operations, The Pulitzer Corporation started St. Louis’s 's first television station on February 8,1947, Abel was hired by KSD-TV as one of the first staff members. 
The infancy of the medium of television placed many demands on station employees. There were no employees who had experience in the medium because KSD-TV was one of the first stations in the country. So production techniques had to be developed in real time, during which the station was producing live telecasts. The same thing applied to announcers like Abel. He might find himself sitting in a chair reading the sports report on camera for the Bardahl Sports Report, or serving as the announcer for the BuckEye 4 variety show or standing in as "Dry Gulch while subbing as the host for the Wranglers' Club.
These appearances made Abel a common household name in the St. Louis area. 
In 1960, Abel got a major opportunity when he was hired as an announcer on the popular Charlotte Peters Show on KSD-TV. During his time at the show, he also appeared in various skits and has played characters without scripts. In 1962, Abel was then tagged to be part of KPLR-TVs Wrestling at the Chase series’ announcing team and in a span of two years he was promoted to lead wrestling announcer as the show rose in the ratings. He held this role until 1973. 
He announced his retirement in 1981 when he was working with Channel 5 as a staff announcer. 
===Theatrical credit===
In 1962, he played the part of Sitting Bull for Annie Get Your Gun at The St. Louis Muny Opera.
