Georg Cantor

**Georg Cantor** (3 March 1845 - 6 January 1918) was an important German mathematician.  He founded set theory, cardinal number and worked on transfinite numbers.

## Life
Cantor was born in St Petersburg, Russia. His father had a Jewish-Danish, his mother an Austrian background. His father was a Protestant. He was a rich merchant. His mother was a Roman Catholic. She was very artistic. When his father became ill in 1856 the family moved to Frankfurt. Georg went to private schools and then to gymnasien in Darmstadt and Wiesbaden.  He soon showed that he was brilliant at maths.  His father wanted him to be an engineer but Georg persuaded him to let him study mathematics.  He spent a short time studying at the University of Zürich, but soon went to Berlin where he studied physics, philosophy and mathematics.  He was very influenced by the teaching of Weierstrass, Kummer and Kronecker, who were later to become his enemies.  He wrote a doctoral thesis in which he said that asking questions was more important than finding the answers.  He was talking about a problem that Carl Friedrich Gauss had left unanswered.

Cantor taught for a time at a girls’ school in Berlin,  then he became a lecturer in Halle where he remained for the rest of his life.  He became full professor there in 1879.  Cantor worked on the theory of numbers, continuum hypothesis and then on trigonometric series, starting with ideas that had been developed by Bernhard Riemann on complex variables.  He sent a paper on algebraic numbers to be published in Crelle's Journal, but Kronecker was against it.  However, Dedekind supported Cantor, and eventually the article was published.  This article showed that Cantor was a great mathematician.

When his father died in 1863 he had enough money to build a house for his wife and five children.

Cantor thought that infinite numbers really existed, and used ideas from ancient and medieval philosophy to prove his point.  Kronecker disagreed with him.  He thought that only integers existed.  Kronecker said that “God made integers and all the rest is the work of man”.  Kronecker stopped Cantor from being offered a professorship in Berlin, a position he ought to have had since he was one of the greatest mathematicians in the world.  Cantor stayed at Halle and continued to work into his old age, although he often suffered from fits of depression.  He often lost his temper, but he was also a very kind man.  He always gave encouragement to young mathematicians with new ideas.  He did not want them to suffer like he had because of older mathematicians who felt threatened by new ideas.  A lot of Cantor’s work led eventually to what is called “new mathematics” in schools today.

Cantor died in a mental hospital in Halle on 6 January 1918.

Proprietary software

**Proprietary software** (or closed source software) does not let people see or change source code of the computer software. It is the opposite of free software. Proprietary software is usually created by businesses who want to sell their software, but some programs that are free to use are still proprietary because the user is not allowed to change them. With proprietary software, only the people that make the software can see and change the code.

Even if the people who make the program give the source code to other people, the program will be proprietary if they do not allow to do important things like these: 
* Change the code;
* Give the code to other people;
* Give the changed code to other people;
* Use the code on a different computer;

Most companies who sell their software for money (and even some who do not charge money for it) make it proprietary source. This makes it harder for people to copy and change the software, or to use the source code to make similar software. It helps prevent a user from pretending to be the author of someone else's work (a way of plagiarism).

Dhaka has a very old history, the city area of Dhaka was ruled by the Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms century.

After the Sena dynasty, Dhaka was ruled first by the Turkish and the Afghan governors from the Delhi Sultanate before the arrival of the Mughals in 1608. Khan named the town "Jahangir Nagar" (*City of Jahangir*) in honour of the Mughal emperor Jahangir, although this name was dropped soon after Jahangir's death.

The city grew in size quite a lot under Mughal general Shaista Khan. The city then measured 19 by 13&nbsp;kilometres (12 by 8&nbsp;mi), with almost a million people. but development eventually followed. A modern civic water supply system was introduced in 1874 and electricity supply launched in 1878. The Dhaka Cantonment was established near the city, serving as a base for British and Indian soldiers.

Pay-per-view

**Pay-per-view** (often abbreviated **PPV**) is a way that people can pay to watch events on television in their homes. The event is shown at the same time to everyone ordering it. This is different than video on demand systems which lets people see the event at any time. Common events include movies, sporting events, and pornographic movies.

In 1985, the first U.S. cable channels to show only pay-per-view, *Viewers Choice*, *Cable Video Store*, and *Request TV* began operation within days of each other. Viewers Choice was available to both home satellite dish and cable customers. Request TV was available to only cable viewers at first. Dish owners could not use it until the 1990s.

The term "pay-per-view" became more well known in the 1990s when companies like iN DEMAND, HBO, and Showtime started using it to show movies and other things.

Pay-per-view is also a very important way for professional wrestling companies like WWE, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA),  Ring of Honor (ROH) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to earn money.

## Early History (Americas) 
The first pay-per-view system tested in the United states was the Zenith Phonevision system.  In 1949, it used telephone lines to take and receive orders. The telephone lines were also used to descramble the signal on the television.  Tests were run for 90 days in Chicago.  In 1950, Skiatron tested its system on WOR in New York City.  The system used IBM punch cards to descramble the signal.  Both systems showed that they could be used but were not allowed to be used by the FCC.

One of the first pay-per-view systems on cable was the Optical Systems. It was first used in 1972 in San Diego. These early systems quickly went out of business, as the cable industry started using satellite technology. This caused systems, for example Home Box Office, to became popular.

## History (Europe) 
Pay-per-view was first used in the United Kingdom with the use of satellite television and cable systems.

## History (Australia, NZ & Pacific Islands) 
Pay-per-view was first used by Foxtel to home television in Australia and New Zealand in the early 2000s. Sky Pacific in Fiji and other Pacific Island Nations started using it in 2006.

Mohenjo-daro

**Mohenjo-daro**  (; ) is an ancient city in Pakistan, in the modern-day province of Sindh. It was built around 2500 BCE and was the biggest town of the ancient Indus Valley civilization. Mohenjo-daro is a famous archeological site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Mohenjo-daro was one of the earliest big cities in the world, like others in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, and Norte Chico. People also call it the 'Mound of the Dead Men'.

Mohenjo-daro existed at the same time as the civilization of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece. The archaeological ruins of the city are designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Pakistan, it is one of the national icons of the distant past.

## Historical context
Mohenjo-daro was built in the 26th century BCE. It was one of the largest cities of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, which developed around 3000 BCE from the prehistoric Indus culture.  

At its height, the Indus Civilization spanned much of what is now Pakistan and some parts of northwest India. It also had an outpost in Bactria. There were major urban centers at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. 

Mohenjo-daro was the most advanced city of its time, with remarkably sophisticated civil engineering and urban planning. However, when the Indus civilization went into sudden decline around 1900 BCE, Mohenjo-daro was abandoned.

## Artifacts 
### "The Dancing Girl" 
"The Dancing Girl", an artifact found in Mohenjo-daro, is around 4500 years old. The 10.8&nbsp;cm long bronze statue was found in 1926 in a house in the ancient city. She was British archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler's favorite statuette, as he said in a 1973 television program:

"There is her... pouting lips and insolent look in the eyes. She's about fifteen years old I should think, not more, but she stands there with bangles all the way up her arm and nothing else on. A girl perfectly, for the moment, perfectly confident of herself and the world. There's nothing like her, I think, in the world".

John Marshall, one of the excavators at Mohenjo-daro, described her as a vivid impression of the young ... *girl, her hand on her hip in a half-impudent posture, and legs slightly forward as she beats time to the music with her legs and feet.*

### "The Priest King" 
A seated male sculpture is the so-called "Priest King" (even though there is no evidence that either priests or kings ruled the city). Archaeologists discovered the sculpture in Lower town at Mohenjo-daro in 1927. It was found in an unusual house with ornamental brickwork and a wall niche and was lying between brick foundation walls which once held up a floor.

This bearded sculpture wears a fillet around the head, an armband, and a cloak decorated with trefoil patterns that were originally filled with red pigment.

Nocturnes (Debussy)

:*This article is about the orchestral suite by Claude Debussy. For other musical compositions called "Nocturne", see Nocturne.*

***Nocturnes*** is a piece of music for orchestra by the French composer Claude Debussy.  There are three movements.  A female chorus also sings in the last movement.  Debussy finished writing "Nocturnes" on  15 December 1899. 

## The music
The three movements each have a title.  They are:
* I. *Nuages* ("Clouds")
* II. *Fêtes* ("Festivals")
* III. *Sirènes* ("Sirens")

A large portion of Debussy’s music, including his nocturnes, is inspired by the works of the Impressionist painters.  The word nocturne (from the Latin *nocturnus*) usually describes a piece that is inspired by the night.  However, Debussy's Nocturnes do not follow this patter; rather, they capture the way light is shown in Impressionist paintings.

'Nuages' is about the clouds in the sky and the way they move slowly in grey colours with a little white.

'Fêtes' is a very lively picture of a group of people having a celebration and dancing.  A procession is heard arriving.  The music of the procession gradually gets louder,  mixes with the music of the dancing, then it gradually dies away as the procession disappears into the distance.

'Sirènes' describes the sea and the many rhythms that can be heard when we listen to it.  The moonlight shines on the sea, and the mysterious song of the Sirens is heard as they laugh.

## First performances
The Lamoureux Orchestra conducted by Camille Chevillard gave the first performance of *Nuages* and *Fêtes* in Paris in 1900, and they played the first performance of all three movements the next year.  Some of the listeners found it hard to understand at first, but today "Nocturnes"  is one of Debussy’s most popular works.

The music lasts for about 22 minutes.

Vicuña

The **vicuña** (*Vicugna vicugna*) is one of two wild South American camelids. The vicuña is the smallest of the camelids. It has had an interesting relationship with humans over time.

## General characteristics 
The main colour of the soft, wooly coat (hair) is ochre, light cinnamon, or reddish brown. The lower part of the body, the inside of the legs, and the underside of the head are white. On the chest, at the base of the neck, there is a 'mane' of white hairs. They can be 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) in length. The vicuña is very slender (slim). It has long neck and skinny limbs.  The head is small and wedge shaped. The ears are small and triangular. The incisors (front teeth) of the vicuña are always growing. It is the only even toed-ungulate with teeth that always grow. The enamel is on only one side. This is because of the tough grasses which they eat.

## Distribution 
The vicuña lives in grasslands at elevations of 3,500-5,800 meters (11,700-19,300 feet) in the Andes mountains of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.

Cleveland Cavaliers

with Cleveland in April 2007.|right]]
The **Cleveland Cavaliers** are an American professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in Cleveland, Ohio. They began playing in 1970. They play their home games at Rocket Arena, originally known as Gund Arena and later as Quicken Loans Arena and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. They now have one NBA championship, which was won in 2016 with the help of LeBron James.

## History
For years, the team had little success, although with players such as Brad Daugherty and Mark Price, they had some success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They reached the Eastern Conference Finals in 1992, where they lost to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls.

In 2003, the Cavaliers won the NBA Draft lottery, and chose LeBron James with the first pick. James became a star, and the Cavaliers reached the NBA Finals for the first time in 2007. However, they lost to the San Antonio Spurs, 4 games to 0. This was the only time that the Cavaliers reached the NBA Finals until 2015

James's contract ran out in 2010, and James decided not to sign another contract with the Cavaliers. Instead, he would play for the Miami Heat, lead the team to four straight Finals, and win  two of them. The Cavaliers were immediately a worse team. At one point during the 2010-2011 season, they lost 26 games in a row. This set a new NBA record for the most games lost in a row.

After the 2013–14 season, James' contract with the Heat ended, and he decided to return to the Cavaliers. The team, which in the meantime had added rising star Kyrie Irving and would soon add another star in Kevin Love, once again became NBA title contenders. Despite Irving and Love being out with injuries, LeBron helped the Cavaliers to a 2–1 lead but lost the 2015 NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors in six games, and won a rematch against the Warriors in the 2016 Finals after coming down 3–1 being the first team in the NBA Finals to do so. The championship was the first ever for the Cavaliers, and the first for any major sports team in Cleveland in over 50 years. However, the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in 2017 and 2018 Finals. James once again left the Cavaliers and joined the Los Angeles Lakers where he won his fourth championship in his second season with the team.

Fan (machine)

**Fans** are a device used for cooling many things down when they are hot, especially:
# A machine using an electric motor to rotate vanes in order to move air for cooling.
# A tool whose shape is often a long triangle, circle, or semicircle. Made of feathers, leaves, paper, cloth, etc., people usually wave it lightly in a hand to create a cooling current of air.

## Types of fans
*Table Fans: small size, appropriate for personal space, cheap price, economical cooling
*Pedestal Fans: height can be changed, provide powerful air
*Window Fans: save space, bring in fresh air
*Wall Mount Fans: save space, offer more air, suit for industrial environment

First Amendment to the United States Constitution

]]

The **First Amendment** to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights. The first amendment limits the power of congress. The amendment does not allow congress to pass laws that establish a religion or restrict people's rights. These rights include freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and right to petition.    

The Bill of Rights were passed to please the Anti-Federalists. Anti-Federalists liked the Bill of Rights because it made sure the government would respect the rights of people and not become too powerful.      

The **Establishment Clause** does not allow the government to support one religion more than any other religion. The government also cannot say that a religion or a god is true.  This is often described as "separation of church and state", where "state" means "The Government". It also does not allow the government to establish a national religion. It allows people to debate religion freely without the federal government of the United States getting involved.  The clause did not stop the various states from supporting a particular religion, and several states did.

Parliamentary procedure

is a common symbol of parliamentary procedure.]]
**Parliamentary procedure** is a commonly accepted way in which a group of people work together to discuss and make decisions.  It is a set of rules for meetings.

## History 
The term gets its name from its use in the Parliamentary system of government.

In the 16th century, there were rules of order in the early British Parliaments.  In the 1560s, Sir Thomas Smith published a book about the procedures in the House of Commons in 1583.  Early rules included
* One subject should be discussed at a time (adopted 1581)
* Personal attacks are to be avoided in debate (1604)
* Debate must be limited to the merits of the question (1610)

### American procedures 
The rules of the United States Congress were developed from the parliamentary procedures used in Britain. Variations of the American parliamentary procedures are followed in many nations, including Indonesia, the Phillipines, Mexico and South Korea.

### Other 
In contrast, the procedures of the Diet of Japan have moved away from the British parliamentary model.  After the end of World War II, there were efforts to bring Japanese parliamentary procedures more in line with American congressional practices. In Japan, informal negotiations are more important than formal procedures.

## Robert's Rules 
In the US, the most widely used set of rules is ''Robert's Rules of Order*.

Militia

]]
A **militia** is a group of people who are not in the standing army or regular military but do many military tasks such as collecting weapons, training soldiers, defending people or land and policing an area. Militias are often made up of veterans, who used to be in the military.  

Some militias, like the United States National Guard, are organized by a government. It is a group of state militias that help with wars, natural disasters and other emergencies. Others are not connected to a government and may even be illegal. One common definition of a militia includes all men who can serve as soldiers.

In the early late 20th century, some militias acted as professional forces but were still "part-time" or "on-call" organizations.
Freedom of the press

]]

**Freedom of the press** is a promise by a government not to punish journalists (and other people who report the news) for doing their job without censorship. It is an idea like freedom of speech: it lets people express their opinions or beliefs. Many countries have laws or constitutional amendments protecting freedom of the press. The word "press" in the phrase comes from the printing press.

## Restrictions 
Like with freedom of speech, freedom of the press does not protect everything that a journalist writes. A journalist can be sued for libel, which is publishing false and damaging claims about a person. Publishing copyrighted material is not legal in many countries. Writing about state secrets, like military plans, weapon designs, or other classified information is almost always illegal.

Discography

**Discography** is the study and listing of sound recordings. The word comes from the word "disc", which is the most commonly used term for describing the format used most for sound recordings in the 20th century, and the *-graph* suffix meaning something written.

A listing of all recordings of a musician or singer is usually called their "discography". Discographies may also be created based on a particular musical genre or record label, for example, so that all artists in a genre, or that have contracts with a certain label, are listed together.

The term "discography" became popular in the 1930s by collectors of jazz records. Jazz fans did research and self-published discographies about when jazz records were made and what musicians were on the records, as record companies did not commonly include that information on/with the records at that time.

Progressive metal

**Progressive metal** (often called **prog metal**) is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that mixes the powerful, guitar-driven sound of metal with the complexity of progressive rock, which includes odd time signatures and complicated instrumental playing. Some progressive metal bands are also influenced by jazz fusion and classical music. Like progressive rock songs, progressive metal songs are usually much longer than other metal songs, and they are often themed in concept albums. As a result, progressive metal is rarely heard on mainstream radio and video programs.

## History
Progressive metal started with progressive rock bands from the late 1960s and early to mid-1970s such as Yes, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Genesis, Kansas and Rush. It did not evolve into a genre of its own until the mid-1980s. Bands such as Queensrÿche, Fates Warning and Dream Theater took certain aspects of progressive rock music and mixed them with heavy metal styles.

Art rock

**Art rock** (also sometimes called **progressive rock** or **classical rock**) is a sub-genre of rock music that has "experimental influences". It tries to make rock music into art instead of just entertainment. It often uses longer songs than other genres of rock. It uses different  such as elements (parts) of classical music. It is not usually music to dance to, but music to just listen to. It started in the 1960s. Phil Spector (an American music producer) and Brian Wilson (the leader of The Beach Boys) are two early examples of musicians making art rock. The genre was popular with British bands at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s. 

## Relationship with progressive rock
Art rock is often the same as progressive rock, especially for bands in the 1970s. Allmusic says that progressive rock and art rock are almost the same; both describe rock music that is more artistic. The term "Progressive rock" became more popular to talk of the genre of rock music. Art rock is often to describe bands that are harder to define.

Princeton University's Wordnet dictionary says that "progressive rock, art rock" are "a style of rock music that [came out] in the 1970s; associated with attempts to [mix] rock with jazz and other forms." It also says that it is meant "for listening and not dancing".

## Examples of art rock bands
Examples include Queen, King Crimson, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, The Beatles, Genesis, Radiohead and Yes.
