Kyle XY: Under the Radar is an original novel based on the hit ABC Family series, Kyle XY.
 As a novel designed primarily as a "tie-in" to the television series, Kyle XY: Under the Radar follows many of the same themes present in Kyle XY's second season concerning Kyle Trager.
 The novel is set a few days after the bonfire in the episode The List is Life.
 Similarly to the previous novel, each of the Trager children, Josh and Lori have their own parts in the plot, though as a whole the book focuses on Kyle.
 Also bearing a similarity to the first novel is a sub-plot.
 While the sub-plot in focused on Tom Foss, Foss now acts as Kyle's trainer, and the sub-plot concerns a mysterious new girl known as Jessi Hollander.
XY is a gay men's magazine, relaunched in 2016, which has been published in the United States since 1996.
 XY started as a gay male youth-oriented magazine and social network.
 Its name is a reference to the XY chromosome pair found in males.
Tikkun Leil Shabbat is an independent minyan or chavurah in Washington, DC, organized entirely by volunteer leadership and sponsored by Jews United For Justice, DC's local Jewish social justice organization.
 The name of the community is a reference both to Tikkun Leil Shavuot and tikkun olam.
 Its primary activity is Friday night ("leil Shabbat"), but it also meets on Jewish holidays and at other times.
 Tikkun Leil Shabbat attracts upward of 200 participants on Friday nights.
A tikkun or tiqqun (Hebrew: תיקון‎ ) is a book used by Jews to prepare for reading or writing a Torah scroll.
 There are two types of tikkun, a "tikkun kor'im" and a "tikkun soferim".
Tikkun is a quarterly interfaith Jewish left-progressive magazine, published in the United States, that analyzes American and Israeli culture, politics, religion, and history in the English language.
 The magazine has consistently published the work of Israeli and Palestinian left-wing intellectuals, but also included book and music reviews, personal essays, and poetry.
 In 2006 and 2011, the magazine was awarded the "Independent Press Award for Best Spiritual Coverage" by "Utne Reader" for its analysis of the inability of many progressives to understand people's yearning for faith, and the American fundamentalists' political influence on the international conflict among religious zealots.
 The magazine was founded in 1986 by Michael Lerner and his then-wife Nan Fink Gefen.
 Since 2012, its publisher is Duke University Press.
 Beyt Tikkun Synagogue, led by Rabbi Michael Lerner, is loosely affiliated with Tikkun magazine.
 It describes itself as a "hallachic community bound by Jewish law".
Tikkun Chatzot (Hebrew: תקון חצות‎ ‎ , lit.
 "Midnight Rectification"), also spelled Tikkun Chatzos, is a Jewish ritual prayer recited each night after midnight as an expression of mourning and lamentation over the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem.
 It is not universally observed, although it is popular among Sephardi and Hasidic Jews.
Tikkun HaKlali (Hebrew: תיקון הכללי‎ ‎ , lit., "The General (or Comprehensive) Rectification"), also known as The General Remedy, is a set of ten Psalms whose recital serves as "teshuvah" (repentance) for all sins — in particular the sin of wasted seed through involuntary nocturnal emission or masturbation.
 The "Tikkun HaKlali" is a unique innovation of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, and its recital is a regular practice of Breslover Hasidim to this day.
The XY sex-determination system is the sex-determination system found in humans, most other mammals, some insects ("Drosophila"), some snakes, and some plants ("Ginkgo").
 In this system, the sex of an individual is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes (gonosomes).
 Females typically have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex.
 Males typically have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.
 Exceptions to these generalisations happen in the cases of XX males or XY females, or other syndromes.
Michael Lerner (born 1943) is an American political activist, the editor of "Tikkun", a progressive Jewish interfaith magazine based in Berkeley, California, and the rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in Berkeley.
Barrie Karp (born 1945 in Laredo, Texas) is an artist, independent scholar and academic.
 Karp grew up first in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre and then, in the later part of her childhood, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the surrounding Lycoming County area.
 She has been an educator in philosophy, cultural studies, humanities and arts from a feminist and anti-racist perspective in New York City colleges and universities since 1970.
 Karp's practice has largely been as an educator whose pedagogy and practice sought to further define a rigorous mode of inquiry in feminist and anti-racist studies.
 Karp envisions feminism as a movement that can work across disciplinary boundaries and be informed by various traditions of inquiry.
 Her work has been informed by her lifelong study of psychoanalysis.
 Paintings of Karp's appeared in the November/December 2008 issue of "Tikkun" magazine and by the "Tikkun" editor's August 2009 online blog and in the spring 2012 issue of "On the Issues" Magazine.
 In 1988, she had a one-person exhibition at the Everhart Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
