Frédo Durand

Frédo Durand is a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a member of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), where he helps lead its Computer Graphics Group.
He works on both computer graphics and computer vision, spanning topics such as computational photography, differentiable rendering, compilers for high-performance imaging, and video magnification. Several of his projects focus on trying to reveal visual signals that are otherwise imperceptible to the human eye. With MIT colleagues he developed a "motion microphone" device that can take silent video of an object and magnify the minute visual vibrations to recreate the sounds present in the room. He also helped develop a system that can look at short video clips of people sitting still and visual magnify their movement and skin-color changes such that he could measure people’s heart-rates, enabling new applications for remote health monitoring. 
Another project of his uses video of shadows on the floor to be able to detect things hidden around the corner, an insight that could help self-driving cars be able to observe objects in their blind spots. His team’s "Interactive Dynamic Video" system lets them test how an object would respond to different kinds of touch based only on a short video clip of it. Durand has also created several influential tools for computer graphics. With Saman Amarasinghe and Jonathan Ragan-Kelley he invented a domain-specific language (DSL) called Halide that's used for image processing. Their research showed that Halide offers major speed and performance gains over hand-engineered code. 
Durand received his PhD from Grenoble University, France, in 1999, supervised by Claude Puech and George Drettakis. 
He co-organized the first Symposium on Computational Photography and Video in 2005, and the first International Conference on Computational Photography in 2009. Durand received the Eurographics Young Researcher Award in 2004, an NSF CAREER award in 2005, the Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship in 2005, a Sloan fellowship in 2006, a Spira award for distinguished teaching in 2007, and the ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Achievement Award in 2016.

Fu Jen School

Fu Jen School (輔仁學派) is a Catholic philosophical school in Taiwan. It advocates the spiritual core of Fu Jen Catholic University’s motto, and establishes a combination of Scholasticism, Neo-scholasticism, Transcendental Thomism, and Traditional Chinese philosophy, that called the "Chinese Neo Scholastic Philosophy" (中華新士林哲學).Hsiao-Huei Pan, "Fu-Jen School's Natural Moral Law-On the Confucian Principle of Heaven and Aquinas's Natural Moral Law," Universitas: Monthly Review of Philosophy and Culture. Vol.33 No.3, pp.5-20.
==History==
The original Fu Jen School refers to the historical and philosophical school developed during the Beijing period (1925~1951) of Fu Jen Catholic University. The initial purpose was to resist the New Culture Movement and anti-traditional Chinese ethics advocated by Peking University. The main scholars are represented by Chen Yuan, Yu Jiaxi (zh), Chou Tsu-mo (zh), Qigong and others.袁一丹, "陳垣與輔仁學派," 中国文化. Vol.20171, pp.104-115.
After Fu Jen was re-founded in Taiwan in 1961, Paul Yú Pin, the first Fu Jen president, formulated a new university motto "Truth, Goodness, Beauty, Sanctity" and started the earliest graduate institute of philosophy in Taiwan, making the Fu Jen Philosophy Department the only center of Scholasticism in Taiwan. He developed a set of philosophical theories centered on "Three Kinds of Knowing" (三知論) and gradually became a school in the sixty years after WWII.Bernard Li, "輔仁學派的心理哲學," 應用心理研究. Vol.32, pp.26-29.輔仁大學哲學系 - 系所簡介
Since Bernard Li became the new Fu Jen president in 2004, he has integrated these philosophical researchers and their achievements, which is officially called "Fu Jen School". Based on Fu Jen Philosophy Department and Religion Studies Department, together with Fu Jen alumni and Catholic scholars who teach in other top universities in Taiwan (such as National Taiwan University and National Central University), Fu Jen school has become one of the main philosophical schools in the Far East.Department of Philosophy | Study in Taiwan

Fund platform

Fund platforms, also known as investment platforms, are web-based services that facilitate the purchase of assets. Investments may be made more easily or at a lower cost using fund platforms.
Purchased investments may often be kept in a variety of tax-efficient wrappers on the same platform as they were made. Shares, bonds, and a wide variety of funds managed by various asset allocators may be bought using them. The types of investments available for purchase on each service's platform are different.
There are two main categories of fund platforms, namely, fund wraps and fund supermarkets. Investors may access their account information using online wrap services. Investors and financial advisors alike may utilize online "fund supermarkets" to purchase funds at low commission rates on behalf of their clients.

Funding

The act of giving resources to support a need, programme, or project is what we refer to as "funding." Although this is often in the form of monetary contributions, it may also come from an organisation or firm in the form of contributions of their time or effort. This phrase is used when a company satisfies its need for cash by drawing from its own internal reserves, while the term finance is used when the company obtains money from outside sources. In general, this word is used when a company employs its internal reserves.
Credit, venture capital, contributions, grants, savings, tax subsidies, and taxes are all examples of potential sources of financing. The terms "soft funding" and "crowdfunding" are used to refer to forms of financing such as contributions, subsidies, and grants that do not need an immediate return on the initial investment. Equity crowdfunding is a type of funding that, in the United States, complies with the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (also known as the "JOBS Act of 2012") and acts as a facilitator for the exchange of equity ownership in a company in exchange for capital investment through an online funding portal.
It is possible to assign funds to either short-term or long-term goals, depending on one's preferences.
In the field of economics, lenders put money into the market in the form of capital, while borrowers take out loans from those lenders. There are two routes that might be used for the funds to make its way to the borrower. A financial intermediary may be able to borrow funds from the lender at an interest-bearing loan. After that, these financial intermediaries reinvest the money in order to get a larger rate of return. Indirect finance refers to the practise of financing activities via the use of financial intermediaries. A lender also has the option of turning to the financial markets in order to make direct loans to borrowers. Direct financing refers to this particular approach.

Fundraising

The activity known as fundraising, often spelled fund-raising, is the practise of soliciting and amassing monetary donations voluntarily given by people, corporations, charity institutions, or governmental bodies. Although the term "fundraising" is most often used to refer to efforts made to collect money for organisations that are not-for-profit, it is also occasionally used to refer to the process of identifying and soliciting investors or other sources of funding for businesses that are for-profit.
In the past, the majority of fund-raising efforts were focused on direct solicitation of monetary contributions via face-to-face activities such as door-to-door canvassing. In contrast, new methods of fundraising, such as those conducted online or a revamped version of grassroots fundraising, have evolved during the last several years.
The majority of the money that is needed for the day-to-day operations of non-profit organisations may be raised via various forms of fundraising. These activities might entail a very wide variety of causes, including political campaigns, environmental problems, public broadcasters, research institutions, and religious or charitable organisations.
Student scholarship merit prizes for athletic or academic accomplishments are some examples of the types of charity organisations. Other types of charitable organisations focus on humanitarian and ecological problems, disaster assistance, human rights, research, and other social issues.
Fundraising efforts made by practically all recognised religious organisations around the globe are of equal importance. The coordination of these activities occurs on the local, national, and international levels. At other instances, the money may be utilised just for the purpose of proselytising or evangelising. However, at other times, the monies will be used solely to aid people with their fundamental need. In most cases, religious groups combine the two, which may sometimes lead to conflict.
In political campaigns, one of the most important tasks is collecting donations. Despite the passage of a number of legislation intended to regulate campaign financing, this reality continues to be one of the most contentious issues in American politics. The most well-known of the organisations that provide support to politicians and political parties are known as political action committees (PACs), although other organisations, such as 527 organisations, also have an effect. In an effort to influence legislative decisions, some advocacy groups engage in fundraising campaigns for or against certain policy concerns.

Funk

Funk music is a kind of music that developed in African American communities in the mid-1960s when artists combined elements of soul, jazz, and rhythm and blues to produce a rhythmic, danceable new type of music that was both catchy and danceable (R&B). It downplays the importance of melody and chord progressions in favour of a powerful rhythmic groove created by a bassline played by an electric bassist and a drum part played by a percussionist, which is typically performed at slower tempos than other popular music. Throughout most situations, funk music comprised of a complex groove, with rhythm instruments playing interlocking grooves to produce a "hypnotic" and "danceable" feeling. Funk makes use of the same highly coloured extended chords that were used in bebop jazz, such as minor chords with additional sevenths and elevenths, or dominant seventh chords with altered ninths and thirteenths, among other arrangements.
