Team Umizoomi

Team Umizoomi is an American animated television series for children. The series was broadcast on Nickelodeon and PBS Kids in the United States from January 25, 2010 until April 24, 2015. It tells about the adventures of the three main characters; Milli, Geo, and Bot.
Characters
Milli is a smart and imaginative 6 year old girl, whose voice is provided by Sophia Fox in the early Season 1 and Madeleine Rose Yen in Seasons 1-4. Milli is usually the one to interact with the child viewing the show when it is necessary to complete the next element in a move in order to accomplish something. Her ponytails can be used to measure things, which is initiated by singing "Milli-Measure". She can also sing a make her dress into any pattern by saying, "Pattern of,-insert pattern here!" and can apply the pattern on her dress to any object by singing "Pattern Power!" She's a friend of Bot and sister of Geo.
Geo is Milli's little brother, voiced by Ethan Kempner in Seasons 1-3 and Josiah Sanchez in Season 5. 11 year old boy who zooms everywhere on his Super Skates. Geo wears a shape belt containing many different kinds of shapes and can create anything. Often, when Team Umizoomi is stuck and needs some type of vehicle to assist them, Geo will figure out what they need, and present a blueprint for the thing that needs to be built, and then interact with the child viewing the show to figure out which building supplies are needed to fill in the shape belt by singing "Super Shapes!"
Bot is a loving robot friend (whose voice is provided by Donovan Patton as Joe) who loves to sing and dance and has a fun-loving, childlike personality. Ironically, his abilities are more functional than math-related. His arms and legs can be extended to reach things, by saying "Arms Extendo" or "Legs Extendo". He has a small receiver (like a satellite dish) on his head to receive calls (called the Umi Alarm). He also has a screen on the front (called a "Belly Belly Belly Screen") that they can view videos/pictures on as well as have a video call with someone who needs their help. He also has a storage compartment on the back of his body, called a Bot-o-mat, which frequently is carrying whatever the team happens to need. In each episode, he is introduced, usually by Milli, as their "Best Robot Friend".
UmiCar is the team's anthropomorphic orange car that can speak by only his name, provided by P.T. Walkey, who drives the team wherever their help is needed. He also beeps. UmiCar has been depicted as non-sentient in many early season 1 episodes, but since he gains a face, becoming a character rather than an inanimate object.

Mummification

Mummification is how the skin and flesh of a corpse can be preserved. Mummification can happen naturally, or people can do it. Natural mummification happens because the body was very cold (as can be found in a glacier), in acid (as can be found in a bog) or dry. The Egyptians wrapped bandages around the dead body to protect the body from rotting.
Mummies of humans and other animals have been found on every continent, but as a result of natural preservation through unusual conditions, and as cultural artifacts. Over one million animal mummies have been found in Egypt, many of which are cats. They used a hook to remove the brain from taking it out from the nose and they would surgically remove all other organs but the heart, as this was needed for the weighing of the heart ceremony. The organs would then be buried with the mummy in separate containers called canopic jars.
Intentional mummification
Intentional mummification was common in ancient Egypt, for burying Egyptian pharaohs. Osiris was probably the first mummy in Egypt.
It takes about 70 days to complete the mummification of a dead body. The first step is to push a sharp rod up the nose and into the brain. From there, the brain is broken up into tiny pieces and removed through the nose, and then the nose is filled with sawdust. Next, they make a hole in the body to remove all the organs except for the heart. Jars which had the heads of gods on top were used to store the organs. The hole was then filled with linen and spices and the body was left under salt to become dry. Later, after 40 days the body was wrapped in linen bandages. Priests surrounded the body while it was being prepared and performed rituals. After the mummifying process was complete, a mask was placed over the head so it could be known in the afterlife. Otzi the Iceman a mummy of a man who lived about 5,300 years ago was found to be naturally mummified by ice. Otzi was found in 1991 in the Schnalstal glacier, Otzti Alps, near Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy.
Mummies in Egypt
There were no restrictions on who could be mummified. Any Egyptian who could afford to pay for the expensive process of preserving their bodies for the afterlife was allowed to mummify themselves. Egyptians believed in life after death, and that death was just a transition from one life to another. They believed that they had to preserve their bodies so they could lead a new life. They would need all the things they had used when they were alive so their family would put those things in their grave. Egyptians paid vast amounts of money to have their bodies properly preserved. It took a very long time from start to finish. It took them 70 days to embalm a body. Canonical jars were used by Egyptians to hold the internal organs. It was very important to Egyptian religion that the human body was preserved. Anubis was a god of mummification, he had a human body and a head of a jackal. His job was to prepare the body of the dead to be received by Osiris, the god of the dead. Osiris will then let the souls on and into the underworld.

Twink

Twink is a gay slang term. It describes a young or young-looking gay man in the 18-21 age range. A twink has a slender build. He has little or no body or facial hair. The term is sometimes used in a derogatory and pejorative manner by bears.
The twink's namesake is the Hostess Twinkie, a golden-colored, phallic-shaped, cream-filled snack cake thought to have little nutritional value. Qualifiers such as muscle or femme have narrowed the meaning of twink to a more specific type.

Railroad company

A railroad company or railway company is an organization that operates a railroad track or trains. The company can either be private or public. Some railway companies operate both the trains and the track. In other cases, particularly in European Union (EU), ownership of track and train operation is run by separate companies. In the United States the railroad track system is owned by the railroad companies. In the 1800s, the federal government gave large land grants to the railroads.
Structure
Many countries have a national railway company that owns all track and operates all trains in the country. For example, the Russian Railways (the world's largest rail company by network size). Other countries have many different, sometimes competing, railway companies that operate each their own lines. This is true in the United States and Canada.
In Europe, the EU requires its members to split the railway companies into a number of different companies. Usually public owned companies own the track and other public companies (sometimes owned by regional governments) own the train cars. Franchising is then used to determine the right to operate the line for a limited time period. A number of private companies bid for the right to operate. Other companies offer track and train car maintenance.

Bloods Range

Bloods Range (or Blood's Range) is a mountain range in central Australia. It stretches roughly east to west across the border between the Northern Territory and Western Australia. It consists of several sets of hills, separated by valleys; the two main valleys are formed by the Hull and Docker Rivers. There are numerous ravines and gorges all throughout the hills. Bloods Range connects with the Petermann Ranges at its western end. In the centre are Mounts Harris (840 m) and Carruthers (1000 m), which are the highest peaks. Further east, the range splits into several branches, including the Rowley Range, McNichol's Range and the Pinyinna Range.
Bloods Range was given its name on 14 March 1874 by the explorer Ernest Giles, when he saw it from the top of Mount Curdie. He named it after the owner of an early pastoral station in South Australia, whose surname was "Blood". On 12 June 1889, Giles' second-in-command, W. H. Tietkins, returned on his own expedition and surveyed the range. He named the two highest peaks Mount Harris and Mount Carruthers. From the top of Mount Harris, he wrote that he could see Kata Tjuta, the Petermann Ranges and the Tomkinson Ranges.

Quine

A quine is a special kind of computer program, which accepts no inputs and outputs its own source code. They are named after the philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine.
Quine's Paradox
Quine was very interested in the "liar paradox", "this statement is false", which can't be either true or false. This paradox appears in lots of other places. In the mathematics of set theory it is called Russell's paradox, it is a set which contains sets which don't contain themselves.
All of those examples before Quine were 'self-referential'. This means that they define an object in terms of itself, like the liar paradox starting with the words "this statement". Lots of people thought that you could ignore the liar paradox if you just decided to ignore all self-referential statements. Quine saw that you would also have to ignore quotation, which is the process that happens when you put a phrase in quote marks. When you say a phrase, you are talking about its meaning; but when you quote a phrase, you are talking about that phrase, and not what it means.
Quine's paradox was, '"Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation" yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation.' This is a more complicated liar paradox which is not self-referential. It is a simple statement about some phrase, telling you what happens when you write a statement where you write the phrase in quote marks and then write the phrase again outside of them.
Quines as programs
Most programming languages have quotation too: you can put quotes around some code and then the computer does not run that code, but instead just stores it as a string.
The trick to writing a quine involves writing a string which somehow has a "hole" in it, then outputting that string, with the "hole" filled in with its own quotation. For example in Python the function which quotes a string is called repr, and the % operator fills in a hole which is written as %s in the string, while converting %% to %:
def quine():
"Returns its own source code"
s = 'def quine():
"Returns its own source code"
s = %s
return s %% repr(s)
'
return s % repr(s)
Or in JavaScript, we can use JSON.stringify to quote an array, and the "hole" can be the space between the two array elements:
function quine() {
var a = ["function quine() {
var a = ", ";
return a[0] + JSON.stringify(a) + a[1];
}"];
return a[0] + JSON.stringify(a) + a[1];
}
In CoffeeScript you can write a quine as a phrase followed by its own quotation, which looks a lot like Quine's paradox:
quine = -> ((t) -> t + JSON.stringify t) "quine = -> ((t) -> t + JSON.stringify t) "

Intelligence and Security Committee

The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament (ISC) is a group in the Parliament of the United Kingdom that is responsible for making sure that what the UK intelligence community does is allowed or okay.
The Committee was created in 1994 by the Intelligence Services Act 1994, and they were given more power by the Justice and Security Act 2013.
Structure
The ISC is not like other committees in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, being a statutory committee instead of a more common select committee. It was originally made under the Intelligence Services Act 1994. The committee would later have what it does changed, and what it can do expanded by the Justice and Security Act 2013.
How independent it is has been, in the past, questioned by journalists and interest groups but the ISC says it is independent because it is made of MPs and peers from different parties and runs in a neutral manner. The ISC got stronger power under the Justice and Security Act 2013 which also made it so that the Prime Minister didn't decide who was in the group anymore.

Murasaki Shikibu

was a novelist, poet, and servant of the Imperial Court during the Heian period of Japan. She is well known as the author of The Tale of Genji, written around year 1003.
Murasaki Shikibu is a nickname; her real name is unknown.
Life
Murasaki was born in Kyoto. She was born into the Fujiwara family. Her father, Fujiwara Tametoki, was not a very nice father and when Murasaki got older he confessed that he regretted she was not a boy.
In the year 997, Murasaki married her second cousin, Fujiwara Nobutake, at age 20. In 999, they had a daughter, Kenshi, who also became a poet. Fujiwara Nobutake died about 1001.
Murasaki started as a writer soon after her husband's unexpected death. She was recognized immediately, and she was asked to the imperial court as a tutor to Empress Shoshi ( Joto Mon'in, 988-1074), daughter of the statesman Fujiwara Michinaga (966-1027). Murasaki joined the court of Empress Shoshi in 1006, probably for her skills as an author.
Murasaki started writing her diary in 1008, and finished in 1010. Her diary describes her Chinese lessons with her brother Nobunori (980?-1011), daily life and how much she missed her husband after his death.
She died in Kyoto, around the year 1020.
The Tale of Genji
The Tale of Genji is split into 54 different books, and is made up of 795 different poems. It is one of the earliest novels in Japanese, and is often thought of as the first novel in the world. It is a classic of Japanese literature. The masterpiece was about the court life of Prince Genji, and his wife, Aoi in 10th-century Japan. Prince Genji was the illegitimate son of an emperor, and the text is about his relationships in court. The Tale of Genji included many beautiful scroll paintings.

Travel clock

A travel clock, travel alarm clock and in some cases pouch alarm clock, is an alarm clock whose primary characteristic is that it must have a dimension, design and weight, that make it easily transportable during a trip, so it is usually contained in a box or case. In the case of an alarm clock, the box must let the acoustic signal pass through in order to wake up from sleep at the set time or remember a specific date.
History
For a long time, watches were luxury items. For the majority of the population, sleep ended when it got light or when the rooster crowed. The few who had to rise before dawn were awakened by the night watchman. However, watches with an additional alarm function have been around for as long as classic watches, that is, since the 14th century. . In Dante's masterpiece, his Divine Comedy of 1320, there is a very precise description of a clock equipped with a bell mechanism.
Descriptions of water clocks have been preserved from antiquity, where the water level in a vessel indicated the time. Most had floats inserted, which activated bells or figures through a lever when it reached a certain level of filling. In 12th-century monasteries, alarm clocks with bell signals reminded people to observe prayer times. However, these "clocks" have not survived to this day, except in the form of manuscripts.
Pouch alarm clock
With the invention of portable clocks in the 16th century, the travel alarm clock became mobile thanks to the spring as an energy accumulator and the steering wheel . In the 1920s, travel alarm clocks were mass-produced with increasing mobility. At first resembling the travel alarm clocks of earlier eras, they were covered in an elegant case that protected the watch while traveling. At night the watch was taken out of its protective case and placed on the bedside table. Later, the machinery was permanently attached by a hinge to the pouch-like sheath. So the case not only protected the alarm clock, but was also its support.

Valkyrie

The Valkyries (Old Norse: Valkyrjur, singular valkyrja - "choosers of the slain") are female figures in Norse mythology; they are a group of female warriors of Odin who do not get married.
Profile
Alternatively the Valkyries are servants to Freya. She negotiated with One Eye that her shield maidens would sort the honourable dead on the battlefield. Freya had first choice of half the slain to come to Sessrumnir, the other half were to be delivered to One Eye at Valhall.
Freya had fierce and respected warriors, they are responsible for choosing who live and die in battle, singling out those worthy of paradise. In the aftermath of battle, the Valkyries carry those whom they have chosen off to Valhalla, an enormous and majestic hall that lies in Asgard. Once there, these einherjar, as they are now called, are shared between Odin and Freyja, with half of them going to Valhalla and the other to Folkvangr, Freyja's realm. In Valhalla, the einherjar feast and make revelry, as they are served and cared for by the Valkyries themselves.
The old Norse people thought that Valkyries rode giant wolves, and that they had black wings which correspond to ravens; these two creatures both scavenge corpses on the battlefield symbolizing death and destruction. With the spread of Christianity the idea of what a Valkyrie was like changed more and more to a Romantic description of a beautiful woman.
Operas
Richard Wagner composed some operas featuring Valkyries (German: Walkuren, singular: Walkure). These operas are Die Walkure, Siegfried, and Gotterdammerung. They feature a story of a Valkyrie Brunnhilde, her punishment for disobeying her father, and her falling in love with Siegfried. The music for the opening of Act Three of Die Walkure is very famous. It is called the Ride of the Valkyries.
