Mission statement

A mission statement tells the purpose of a company or organization. Basically, it says in a very short way WHO the organization does something for, WHAT is the kind of thing it does, and WHICH WAY it does it (that is, instead of other ways one could do that same thing). It can be used to tell quickly what the organization does. It can also help to give members of the organization a common idea of what they're here to do.
A mission statement basically sums up everything that something is about. Put very simply, for performance it would sum up what the purpose of the performance is. That might be to entertain.
Examples:
McDonald's - Mission statement: "To provide the fast food customer food prepared in the same high-quality manner world-wide that is tasty, reasonably-priced & delivered consistently in a low-key decor and friendly atmosphere."
WHO: People who want fast food, all over the world
WHAT: Good food that tastes good and doesn't cost too much (well...)
WHICH WAY: The same way anywhere, no bells and whistles in the shop, but friendly employees there.
World Vision - Mission statement (well, part of it): "...working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God"
WHO: Poor and oppressed people around the world
WHAT: Help them get a better chance of being better off and be a good person, too
WHICH WAY: Work for fair conditions of life and let people know what God has always wanted to give them and how to get it

Emergency Alerts

Emergency Alerts is a new public warning system being released in the UK in 2023. Since the US had an Emergency Alert System back in 1997 during peacetime, the UK has never had one. Since 2020, the UK government have been trailing out such a system in parts of the UK like Reading and East Suffolk. The system is a mobile alert system that will work like the WEA system in the US. Every phone will receive an alert with a message, and a dsctintive warning tone, also described as a 'siren-like sound'. The system will alert UK residents about life-threatening emergencies, and terrorists attacks. However, officials who work the system will not discuss how the UK population would be warned in an event of a nuclear attack. The system has been launched in March 2023 with all compatible phones will receive a test message to demonstrate how the system works with the warning tone and vibration on the 23rd April, 2023 at 3pm.

Nawab

Nawab (;
;
;
Punjabi : nvaab;
Persian,
Punjabi ,
Sindhi,
Urdu: nwb), also spelt Nawaab, Navaab, Navab, Nowab, Nabob, Nawaabshah, Nawabshah or Nobab, is a royal title. It was used by sovereign ruler, often of a South Asian state. In in many ways it is similar to the western titles of King. The relationship of a Nawab to the Emperor of India has been compared to that of the Kings of Saxony to the German Emperor. In earlier times, the title was given by the Mughal emperor to Muslim rulers of subdivisions or princely states in the Indian subcontinent who were loyal to the Mughal Empire. The title is an equivalent to the title Maharaja.
"Nawab" usually refers to males. It means Viceroy. The female equivalent is "Begum" or "Nawab Begum". The primary duty of a Nawab was the administration of a certain province.
Similar to a British peerage, The title of "nawabi" was also given to persons and families who ruled a princely state of British India. In some cases, the titles were also given with jagir grants. These were either cash or land-holdings.

Determinant

The determinant of a square matrix is a scalar (a number) that indicates how that matrix behaves. It can be calculated from the numbers in the matrix.
The determinant of the matrix is written as or in a formula. Sometimes, instead of and , one simply writes and .
Interpretation
There are a few ways to understand what the determinant says about a matrix.
Geometric interpretation
An matrix can be seen as describing a linear map in dimensions. In which case, the determinant indicates the factor by which this matrix scales (grows or shrinks) a region of -dimensional space.For example, a matrix , seen as a linear map, will turn a square in 2-dimensional space into a parallelogram. That parallellogram's area will be times as big as the square's area.<p>In the same way, a matrix , seen as a linear map, will turn a cube in 3-dimensional space into a parallelepiped. That parallelepiped's volume will be times as big as the cube's volume.
The determinant can be negative or zero. A linear map can stretch and scale a volume, but it can also reflect it over an axis. Whenever this happens, the sign of the determinant changes from positive to negative, or from negative to positive. A negative determinant means that the volume was mirrored over an odd number of axes.
"System of equations" interpretation
One can think of a matrix as describing a system of linear equations. That system has a unique non-trivial solution exactly when the determinant is not 0 (non-trivial meaning that the solution is not just all zeros).
If the determinant is zero, then there is either no unique non-trivial solution, or there are infinitely many.
Singular matrices
A matrix has an inverse matrix exactly when the determinant is not 0. For this reason, a matrix with a non-zero determinant is called invertible. If the determinant is 0, then the matrix is called non-invertible or singular.
Geometrically, one can think of a singular matrix as "flattening" the parallelepiped into a parallelogram, or a parallelogram into a line. Then the volume or area is 0, which means that there is no linear map that will bring the old shape back.
Calculating a determinant
There are a few ways to calculate a determinant.
Formulas for small matrices
For and matrices, the following simple formulas hold:
For matrices, the formula is:One can use the Rule of Sarrus (see image) to remember this formula.
Cofactor expansion
For larger matrices, the determinant is harder to calculate. One way to do it is called cofactor expansion.
Suppose that we have an matrix . First, we choose any row or column of the matrix. For each number in that row or column, we calculate something called its cofactor . Then .
To compute such a cofactor , we erase row and column from the matrix . This gives us a smaller matrix. We call it . The cofactor then equals .
Here is an example of a cofactor expansion of the left column of a matrix:
As illustrated above, one can simplify the computation of determinant by choosing a row or column that has many zeros; if is 0, then one can skip calculating altogether.

Vasaloppet

Vasaloppet is an annual cross-country skiing competition in Sweden. It started off in 1922 and has been a part of Worldloppet as long as Worldloppet has been around. Nowadays it is held the first Sunday in March each year.
The competition runs from Salen to Mora. Women were banned from participating between 1924 and 1980, due to the length of the race (90 kilometers). In 1997, an official women's award was established.
The race is held to commemorate the historical events related to Gustav Vasa back in the early 1520's.

Short-footed frog

The short-footed frog, savannah water-holding frog, blotched water-holding frog, or superb collared frog (Ranoidea brevipes) is a frog from northern Australia. It lives in Queensland.
This frog is between 3.0 and 6.0 cm in length. Its feet are not always webbed. It has spots or stripes on its back.
This frog lives in grasslands and forests where the trees are not too close together. When the weather is rainy, this frog looks for food. When the weather is dry, the frog digs a burrow and stays underground.
The tadpoles grow into frogs quickly.

Read-only memory

Read-only memory (or simply ROM) is a type of computer memory. Unlike RAM, it keeps its contents even when the computer or device is turned off. Usually, ROM cannot be written to when the computer runs normally. ROM is used for the BIOS which tells the computer how to start, or important programs like the firmware of certain devices, which usually does not need to be modified. Usually, ROM comes on computer chips.
There are different kinds of ROMs:
Masked ROM: This kind is written once, at the factory. It cannot be changed at all later on. Its main benefit is that it is very cheap to make.
PROM: Can be programmed once. Comes unprogrammed from the factory. Programming consists in removing connections. Invented in 1956, hit has been replaced by EPROMs
EPROM: This kind can be erased with UV light. Invented in 1972, it became rare early in the 21st century.
EEPROM: This kind can be erased using an electrical signal. Today, flash memory is often used.''

Alexander (ship)

The Alexander was one of six convict transport ships in the First Fleet. The First Fleet carried convicts and soldiers to Australia to start a penal colony. This was the start of European settlement of Australia. The Alexander was a ship of 452 tons under the command of Duncan Sinclair. It was long and wide. The ship was built in Hull in 1783. The ship had a contract with the British Government to carry convicts. The owners were paid at a rate of 10 shillings per ton per month until the ship returned to Deptford. They had to agree to keep the prisoners secure and in safe custody. Many of the convicts were not suited for a long sea voyage. Eleven sick men who had been put on the ship died before the fleet sailed. The ship took 195 male convicts to Australia.

Seppuku

Seppuku is a Japanese ritual where a samurai kills himself by cutting into his belly. After one had done so, a second person would cut off his head. It was thought that seppuku was an honorable way to die. Sometimes, it is called hara-kiri, which is translated from Japanese as belly-cutting.
Seppuku first developed in the 12th century as a means for samurai to achieve an honorable death. Swordsmen performed the ritual to avoid capture following battlefield defeats, but it also functioned as a means of protest and a way of expressing grief over the death of a revered leader. Beginning in the 1400s, seppuku evolved into a common form of capital punishment for samurai who had committed crimes. In each case, it was considered an act of extreme bravery and self-sacrifice that embodied Bushido, the ancient warrior code of the samurai. There was even a female version of seppuku called "jigai," which involved cutting the throat using a special knife known as a "tanto."
Overview
Seppuku was a key part of bushido, the honor code of the samurai warriors. It was used by warriors so that they would not fall into enemy hands and be shamed. It was possible also that a samurai received an order from his master to commit seppuku.
Because seppuku was an honorable act, a warrior who was caught by the enemy was sometimes given the choice between seppuku and being executed. If he chose seppuku, he could protect his honor. Samurai women had to ask for permission to commit seppuku.
This act could be performed either with a ritual, or quietly on the battlefield while other warriors fight the enemy.
The main weapon used was the samurai's knife called tanto or the short sword, called wakizashi. A samurai who wants to commit seppuku would take the weapon, open his kimono and stab the blade into his belly. He would make a deep cut from Right to left. An assistant of the warrior committing seppuku (called kaishakunin) would immediately cut off his head.
Seppuku fell out of favor with the decline of the samurai in the late-19th century, but the practice didn't disappear entirely. Japanese General Nogi Maresuke disemboweled himself in 1912 out of loyalty to the deceased Meiji Emperor, and many troops later chose the sword over surrender during World War II. Perhaps the most famous case in recent history concerns Yukio Mishima, a renowned novelist and Nobel Prize nominee who committed ritual seppuku in 1970 after leading a failed coup against the Japanese government.

Bullion

Bullion (from the french word for "boiling") refers to coins, jewellery and bars made of a precious metal such as gold or silver, that are bought and stored simply as an investment in the prices of the metal(s) they are made of. Although precious metal bullion is no longer used to make coins for general circulation, it continues to be held as an investment with a reputation for stability in periods of economic uncertainty.
Unlike numismatic coins, a bullion coin is a coin, new or old, that is bought only for the price of the metal it is made of, not for its condition, age or any other value, british gold sovereigns are a common historic bullion coin, and most countries produce a coin meant solely for bullion purposes in different weights, e.g american silver eagle.
Bullion can also be in the form of bars of precious metal in different weights (and thus sizes) bars can easily be stacked and are easier to sort then coins as only the weight needs to be taken into consideration.
It may also be jewellery such as neck chains, pocket watch cases and pendants.
Typical bullion metals include:
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Palladium
Due to it's relatively small size and high value, bullion is often stolen in robberies and burglaries, as a result it is mainly stored in safes, some people who invest in bullion may choose to pay to have it stored in a safe deposit box at a local bank, rather then a safe in their own home.
"Stacking" is an informal term for the act of collecting bullion.
Low value bullion is sometimes carried in a pocket or worn as jewellery.

French grammar

French grammar is the rules about how to speak and write the French language. It is similar to the grammar of other Romance languages.
French is moderately inflected. This means that some words change their form in different situations.
Verb
In French, verbs are conjugated to show information. That means they change endings.
Person
Verbs are conjugated to match with grammatical person.
Irregular Verbs
Most French verbs are regular, which means that the someone can guess how to conjugate a verb based on what letters a verb ends with. However, some verbs are irregular. Irregular verbs do not follow the normal pattern of conjugation. Instead, the forms must be learned differently. An example of an irregular verb in French is etre (to be).
Noun
Gender
Every French noun has a gender. A noun can be either masculine or feminine.
Number
The plural of a noun usually ends with -s. For example, dog (chien) becomes dogs (chiens). However, if a noun ends in -au, -eu, or -ou, it can have -x at the end as a plural. For example, game (jeu) becomes games (jeux). If a noun already ends with -s, -x, or -z, it does not change in the plural.
Adjectives
In French, adjectives change in order to agree with the gender and number of the noun it describes.
Word order
The word order in French is subject-verb-object. In the sentence Je mange le gateau (I eat the cake), je (I) is the subject and le gateau (the cake) is the object. However, if the object is a pronoun, it goes before the verb. If le gateau is replaced by le (it), the sentence becomes Je le mange (I eat it).
