Christopher Salmanpour

Christopher Morad Salmanpour (born 1977) is a British-Iranian screenwriter of movie and television. He is best known for the action-thriller Retribution (2023 film), starring Liam Neeson. Salmanpour is also a winner of TheBlackList annual writers competition, securing script deals with industry giants Warner Bros and StudioCanal.
Early life and education
Salmanpour was born in Iran and raised in London. He attended L'Ecole Lycee-Francais and Highgate Secondary School. Inspired by his family's experience escaping their home country after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, he studied International Affairs at Warwick University and later pursued a Masters degree from UCLA Film School.
Career
Prior to his screenwriting career, he had a 17-year executive career in the tech industry including 7 years at Microsoft from 2006-2012. In 2001, Salmanpour was cast as an Arab voice-over artist in a comedy-drama Room to Rent (2001).
After his grandfather's death, Salmanpour wrote The Promise in 2016 - a screenplay about his grandfather's escape from the notorious Ervin Prison in Tehran. This script earned the distinction as the first-ever double winner of The Black List Writers competition, taking home two out of the three contests that secured script deals with Warner Brothers and StudioCanal. According to Hollywood Reporter, "Salmanpour was selected for the deal in accordance with the partnership formed last February between StudioCanal, TheBlackList, and The Picture Company to find a new voice among European Union writers for a blind script deal. His talent was showcased in his sample script The Promise."
In 2023, Salmanpour's feature film Retribution (2023 film) directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by StudioCanal and The Picture Company, premiered on August 25, 2023, starring Liam Neeson, Matthew Modine, Arian Moayed, Noma Dumezweni, and Embeth Davidtz.

Ned Kelly (1970 movie)

Ned Kelly is the name of a 1970 movie. It was the second Australian feature length movie about Australian bushranger Ned Kelly. The first was The Story of the Kelly Gang made in 1906, the world's first feature movie.
Ned Kelly was directed by Tony Richardson, and starred Mick Jagger as Ned Kelly. Scottish-born actor Mark McManus played the part of Kelly's friend Joe Byrne. It was a British production, but was filmed entirely in Australia, shot mostly around Braidwood in southern New South Wales, with mainly Australian actors.
Problems
There were many problems in getting the movie made. The actors' union, Actors' Equity and some of Ned Kelly's relatives protested strongly about Jagger having the lead role. Many people were upset that the movie would be made in New South Wales, not Victoria, where the Kellys had lived.
Jagger's girlfriend, Marianne Faithfull, had come to Australia to play the lead female role of Ned's sister, Maggie. Their relationship was breaking up, and she took an overdose of sleeping tablets soon after she got to Sydney. She was in a coma, but soon got better and went back to England. She was replaced by an unknown Australian actress, Diane Craig. During filming, Jagger was hurt by a pistol misfiring. The actors and crew were often sick, some costumes were destroyed by fire, and Jagger's co-star, Mark McManus, just escaped serious injury when a horse-drawn cart in which he was riding overturned during filming.
Armour
The body armour costume worn by Jagger is on show at the Queanbeyan City Library, with the letters "MJ" scratched on the inside. The head-piece has been stolen, the loss of an important piece of Australian movie history.
Critics
The movie was very poorly received at its opening, and is still said to be Richardson's worst movie. Neither Richardson or Jagger went to the London opening of the movie.
The music
The movie has music written by Shel Silverstein, and performed by Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings, with one song by Jagger.

Nunsiade

The Nunsiade (or Anunziazion, Annunciation) is a traditional Friulian liturgical song for Advent. The text is taken from the first chapter of the Gospel of Luke, from verse 26 to 38. Since the Latin text begins with the words "Missus est angelus Gabriel" it is usually called Missus in Italian.
The tradition started from Patriarch Francesco Barbaro in the church of St. Mary in the castle of Udin, from 1596 and 1616. Since the end of the 17th century many authors wrote many Nunsiadis, among the other Zuan Tite Tomadin, Antoni De Zorz, Meni Pecile, Vigji Comencin, Zuan Tite Candot, Jacop Tomadin and Vitori Franz. The version of Candot is the most singed nowadays.
Lyrics
The choir is divided in 3 groups: one acts as narrator, one for the Angel, and the last as Mary.

Attack model

Attack models or attack types specify how much information a cryptanalyst has access to when breaking or cracking an encrypted message, commonly known as codebreaking or cracking the code. Some common attack models are:
Ciphertext-only attack
Known-plaintext attack
Chosen-plaintext attack
Chosen-ciphertext attack
Adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack
Indifferent chosen-ciphertext attack
The ciphertext-only attack model is the weakest because it implies that the cryptanalyst has just the encoded message.
Different attack models are used for other cryptographic systems, or more generally for all kind of security systems. Examples for such attack models are:
Adaptive chosen-message attack for digital signatures

Smokey Mountain

Smokey Mountain is a big landfill site in Manila in the Philippines. It was called "Smokey Mountain" because of the thick smoke coming from burning waste. There were 2 million tons of waste dumped there. It made a big mountain. Many poor people lived in a shanty town at Smokey Mountain. They earned money by selling things they found in the dumped waste. These were things like plastic bottles, glass, cardboard, and copper wire.
The Philippine government closed Smokey Mountain in 1995. No more waste was dumped there. The government cleaned up the landfill site. They covered up the mountain of waste with dirt. They planted grass and trees. They knocked down the shanty town. New houses were built next to Smokey Mountain.
This did not stop all the problems. Many poor people moved to a new landfill very close to Smokey Mountain. Waste is still dumped in that new landfill. The poor people built a new shanty town there. In the new landfill they still work all day looking in the waste for things they can sell.

Cytoplasm

The cytoplasm (not to be confused with cytosol) is the protoplasm of a cell outside the cell nucleus. It is the jelly-like material plus the organelles outside the nucleus, and inside the cell membrane.
Many important functions of a cell take place in organelles, which are like bits of machinery for doing many jobs. The cytoplasm is highly structured: it is not liquidy, but more of a gelatinous substance, even though it is made out of 7580% water.
The cytosol contains a complex mixture of cytoskeleton filaments, including the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. It includes dissolved molecules, and water that fills much of the cell. Due to this network of fibres, membranes and the many dissolved macromolecules such as proteins, the cytosol does not act like a simple liquid. The main function of the cytoplasm is to hold the organelles in place.

Semi-trailer truck

A semi-trailer truck, also known as a semi, tractor-trailer, big rig, eighteen-wheeler, or (in the United Kingdom and Ireland) articulated lorry or artic is a vehicle that has a towing tractor and a semi-trailer that carries the freight. They use diesel fuel.
Layout
A semi-tractor has no body and does not carry any cargo on it. The front of a semi-trailer is put on it. Only the rear of the trailers have wheels, so the tractor pulls the trailer and carries the front part of the trailer's weight.
The tractor and driver cost as much as a truck, but the trailers don't cost very much. You can have more trailers than tractors and the tractors can change trailers easily. The tractor and driver do not have to wait to be loaded or unloaded, they can change trailers. They can also pull different kinds of trailers, any type that is needed at the time.
Country differences
All countries have different laws for semi-trucks. The biggest difference between the EU, UK, and US is the length of the semi-truck. Most weigh about the same (US trucks weigh a little less than EU and UK trucks). Most are about the same width and height. In large countries truck s can be longer. They can have a larger cargo space. Longer semi-tractors drive better at faster speeds. Most US trucks are "convential" (bonneted in UK) with the engine under a hood in front of the cab. In the US shorter trucks weigh less. The weight has to be spread out over a long length. This is important on bridges. With long semi-trucks not as many trucks fit on the bridge and the weight of the axles are far apart. This length is important in the US.
In the UK and EU roads are smaller and turn more. Trucks have to be shorter. Most are cab-over-engine models (COE). The driver sits over the engine and the front of the cab is flat. Shorter trucks can weigh more. Trailers can have three axles under the load, and short semi-tractors with two axles. These have the same weight and number of axles as a long semi-truck. They take up less space and can turn better.
Different countries drive on different sides of the road. This is named for the side the driver sits on. The UK is the main right-hand drive (RHD) country. Most countries that were British colonies are RHD. The EU and most other countries are LHD. The US was British but is LHD. Canada (next to the US) is LHD. When you are building a truck LHD or RHD is not important. Australia builds US type Mack and International trucks with RHD.
Trailer types
Semi-trailers can be the same types as trucks. Because they don't cost as much as a truck they can also be special types. Shipping containers are large and heavy. In some countries special laws cover them. Skeleton frame trailers are built to carry them. Long semi-trailers are used for logs. In the UK and EU some logs are smaller. The trailers are 2 or 3 logs long. They have a crane to load them. In the US "lowboys" (the load is just above the road) carry large construction machines. Special trailers can be built for very big loads. Australia "road-trains" can pull 4 trailers.

Sinéad O'Connor

Sinead Marie Bernadette O'Connor (8 December 1966 - 26 July 2023) was an Irish singer-songwriter. She was perhaps most famous for performing the 1990 Prince song "Nothing Compares 2 U" which was nominated for three Grammy Awards. In 1991, she refused her Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album.
On 3 October 1992, O'Connor appeared on Saturday Night Live as a musical guest. She sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War". She meant it as a protest against sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church. She then showed a photo of Pope John Paul II to the camera while singing the word "evil", after which she ripped the photo into pieces and threw the pieces towards the camera. This happened nine years before John Paul II said that there was sexual abuse within the Church.
She was an Independent Catholic priest, rejecting the authority of Rome. She was openly bisexual, and had four children, each by a different father. All her four marriages ended in divorce. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2005.
She released nine studio albums. Her last album, How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? was released in 2012. She released the second single from it, "4th and Vine" in February 2013.
In October 2018, O'Connor she had converted to Islam, calling it "the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey." She changed her name to Shuhada' Sadaqat.
O'Connor died on 26 July 2023 at her home in Herne Hill, London at the age of 56.

Equality (mathematics)

In mathematics, two things are equal if and only if they are exactly the same in every way. That is, they have the same (mathematical) value and the same mathematical properties. Mathematicians use the equals sign (=) to say this. This defines a binary relation, equality. The statement "x = y" means that x and y are equal.
Equivalence in a more general sense is provided by the construction of an equivalence relation between two mathematical objects, that is, two mathematical objects are equivalent if they are related by this relation. In which case, the equivalence is often represented using the symbols or .
A statement that two expressions denote equal quantities is an equation (or an equality). Equations are equal. Inequalities are unequal.
An equality is also a transitive relation. This means that if one object is equal to a second object, and the second object is equal to a third object, then the first object is equal to the third object as well.
Since a predicate is a way of describing something that is true, another way to say this is that if one thing that is true about a variable is not true about the other variable, then they are not equal as far as mathematical logic is concerned: two things are only equal if anything that is true about one has to be true about the other.
In geometry, the word congruence is often preferred. Numbers are equal, geometrical objects are congruent. Two shapes are congruent if one can be moved or rotated so that it fits exactly where the other one is. If shrinking or enlarging one of the two objects is needed, then they are not congruent. They are called similar instead. The congruence relation is often represented by the symbol , while the similarity relation is represented by the symbol .
In computer science, usually, the mathematical definition is used. Very often, the comparison is written == (and the assignment, the act of giving a value, is written as =, or :=). In object-oriented languages, or languages which have pointers, there is an additional problem. Those languages contain references (which are in fact pointers). If two such references do not reference exactly the same object, then they are different and a == b will be false in this case.
For this reason, many such languages have introduced another operator (in Java, this method is called equals). This operator compares the actual values of the objects--not where the variables that reference them point to.
In social sciences, two people are equal if many of the same things are true about them. For example. two people who have the same amount of education and money, and who are of the same age usually think of each other as equals. Another name for a person who is equal to another person is a peer.

Axis of rotation

The Axis of rotation is an imaginary line passing through the centre of mass of any celestial body around which the celestial body rotates. In case of Earth, the axis of rotation of Earth passes through the north pole, the centre of mass of Earth and the south pole. The Earth makes one complete rotation around this imaginary axis every 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds.The line passes through the north and south poles of a planet.
