Computer vision is the subfield of Computer Science that studies how a computer processes visual information to have them interpret what they see.
Unlike Computer Graphics which generates images using computers, Computer Vision takes visual information from the real world and uses algorithms to make predictions and explain what is in the image.
Computer Vision originally focused on computer systems understanding images well enough to describe what they see, but has grown to systems that give detailed environmental context with more advancements in Machine Learning.
Improved Pattern Recognition and Convolutional Neural Networks methods have given way to new methods for processing images that has application in multiple fields.
Google Books used scanned images of pages of books to convert those pages to a text format.
This allowed users to search the text in the book without needing to read it page by page.
Computer systems use the X-Ray and MRI imaging of hospital patients to make a diagnosis as to whether or not they have cancer.
In some instances, the computers have outperformed the doctors who make diagnoses on the same patient.https://www.bbc.com/news/health-50857759

Blood and soil is a concept first developed in the 19th century.
It looks at a person's blood, to see where they come from, and who their ancestors were.
It also looks at the soil a person is working on, to make a claim that they should indeed work and occupy that land.
In the nineteenth century, the idea was linked to racism and to nationalism.
One of the first to use Blut und Boden, or blood and soil was Oswald Spengler in his book Der Untergang des Abendlandes.
In the book, Spengler talks about the struggle of blood and soil about the inner form of a relocated species of animal and man.
Walther Darré took the phrase and established the link.
In his book "Neuadel aus Blut und Boden" (New nobility from blood and soil) he tries to show the relation between economic and agrarian policies, as well as racial ones.
There is also a literary genre called blood and soil.
In it, it shows an agrarian society living up to this ideals.
People writing in this style were Gerhard Schumann and Herbert Böhme.
The ideas are also sometimes shown in artworks.
Artists included Adolf Ziegler, Arthur Kampf, Arno Breker and Josef Thorak.
Very often, such artworks were seen as degenerate art when the Nazi party came to power.
Artists had to flee, many died in exile.
Today, the phrase is associated with Nazi ideology.
White supremacist gathers at the 2017 Charlottesville riots were heard chanting "blood and soil", presumably to align themselves with Nazism.
Argentinosaurus was a titanosaurid sauropod dinosaur.
It was an enormous, long-necked, long-tailed, quadrupedal, plant-eater from Argentina, South America during the Cretaceous period.
Argentinosaurus meaning "Argentina lizard", was named by paleontologists Coria & José Bonaparte in 1993.
It is known from fossilized back vertebrae, tibia, ribs and sacrum, found in Neuquén Province.
It may be the largest dinosaur, but its remains are so incomplete that palaeontologists prefer to use Saltasaurus for their calculations.
An accurate estimate was got for the much more complete sub-adult Dreadnoughtus.
Rough estimates

Propithecus is the genus of the sifakas.
They are a genus of lemur in Madagascar.
Nine species have been identified.
They cannot run on all four legs because their legs are much longer than their arms.
Instead, they bounce along the forest floor, jumping from one foot to the other, holding their arms up in the air.
Some of them are critically endangered species.
The hornbills (Bucerotidae) are a family of bird found in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia and Melanesia.
They have a long, down-curved bill which is often brightly colored and sometimes has a box-like thing on the upper mandible.
Many states of India like Kerala are fond of the hornbills.
It is also the state bird of Kerala.
The female hornbill lays her eggs in a hole in a tree.
Then, helped by her mate, she seals herself in, covering the entrance with droppings and mud.
Only a small slit is left, through which the male gives her food.
This keeps the nest safe from snakes until the chicks are grown enough to leave the nest, and learn how to fly.
Weaver ants (also known as tailor ants or green ants; genus Oecophylla) are eusocial insects of the Formicidae family.
They make their nests from living leaves, still attached to the tree.
Instead of needles and thread, they use a rare type of silk, made in the mouths of their own grubs.
The grubs are passed to and from between the leaves, to sew them together.
Tailor ants may be found in the rainforest of Asia.
Colonies of weaver ants can be very large, containing more than half a million workers.
The colonies can be made up of more than a hundred nests across several trees.

The bellbird is a bird native to Central and South America.
It gets its name from its call which sounds like a bell.
It uses this call to attract its mate.
The bellbird has the loudest voice of any bird, so loud it can be heard a mile or more away.
The greater bulldog bat or fisherman bat (Noctilio leporinus) of South America hunts for its food using sound.
It makes a high clicking noise that hits ripples in the water.
By listening for the echoes, the bat can tell not only where the ripples are, but also locate the fish that made them.

Hattusili III was a king of the Hittite empire around 1267–1237 BC.
He was the fourth and last son of Mursili II.
Hattusili led the Hittite forces in the Battle of Kadesh against Egypt in 1274 BC.
Hattusili and the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II later made a peace treaty.
This is the earliest treaty which has survived to the present day.
Apparently, it was based upon previous Hittite models.
The treaty set up a long-lasting peace between the two rival empires.
Ramesses married Hattusili's daughter, and years later he married another Hittite princess.

Avimimus (meaning "bird mimic") was a recently discovered maniraptoran.
It was a very fast moving, light-weight, bird-like theropod dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous in what is now Mongolia, around 70 million years ago.
that may have had feathers.
There are two known species, Avimimus portentosus and Avimimus nemegtensis.
Flight?
The forelimbs were relatively short.
The bones of the hand were fused together, as in modern birds, and a ridge on the ulna (lower arm bone) was interpreted as an attachment point for feathers by Kurzanov.
Kurzanov, in 1987, also reported the presence of quill knobs, and while Chiappe confirmed the presence of bumps on the ulna, their function remained unclear.
Kurzanov was so convinced they were attachment points for feathers that he concluded that Avimimus may have been capable of weak flight.
The presence of feathers is now widely accepted, but most paleontologists do not believe Avimimus could fly.

Thescelosaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in forests during the late Cretaceous period in North America, about 77 to 65 million years ago.
A Thescelosaurus fossilized four-chambered heart was recently found near Buffalo, South Dakota in USA.
One complete specimen and 8 incomplete Thescelosaurus skeletons, including skin impressions, have been found in Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota in the USA and in Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada.
Segnosaurus (meaning "slow lizard") was a herbivorous theropod dinosaur that lived during the late Upper Cretaceous, about 93 million years ago.
It was a rather large Therizinosaur.
This is a family of theropods which were herbivores.
They changed from the usual carnivorous lifestyle of their ancestors.
Four partial skeletons of Segnosaurus have been found in Mongolia.
It had a long flexible neck, long head, three-toed feet, a broad strong pelvis, stocky legs with clawed fingers and toes, and a short tail.
In 2010 Gregory Paul estimated the body length at six metres, the weight at 1.3 tonnes.
Riojasaurus was a herbivorous prosauropod dinosaur.
It was one of the earliest of the large, plant-eating dinosaurs.
Riojasaurus lived during the Upper Triassic, roughly 225 to 219 million years ago.
Fossils have been found in La Rioja Province in Argentina.
There are include incomplete skeletons from about 20 individuals.
This dino was 30ft tall and 10ft long.
Riojasaurus had a heavy body, bulky legs, and a long neck and tail.
Its leg bones were dense and massive for a prosauropod.
By contrast, its vertebrae were lightened by hollow cavities, and unlike most prosauropods, Riojasaurus had four sacral vertebrae instead of three.
It probably moved slowly on all fours and could not rear up on its back legs.
The nearly equal length of the fore and hindlimbs is also suggestive of a quadrupedal animal.

The state of Penang is next to Kedah to the north and east, and Perak to the south.
From the 14th century Portuguese traders set foot on the island of Penang.
They were looking for spices to sell.
Then, many years later Chinese traders arrived and it was then the island was first put onto a map.
On 17 July 1786, Captain Francis Light, an English sailor landed on the island.
He built a fort called Fort Cornwallis, On 12 August 1786, Light renamed the island Prince of Wales Island after the Prince of Wales.
He named the new town George Town in honour of King George III of England.
1941: Penang is heavily bombed by the Japanese invaders.
Soon after this the English gave up Penang.
1945: Japan surrenders and is chased away from Malaysia.
Soon after the 2nd World War ended.
As a result the English came back to Penang.
In 1957 Malaysia became independent.
Penang Island  an island  located in the Straits of Malacca;
Seberang Perai: a narrow strip of land.
The geography of Seberang Perai is mostly flat.
It has a long coastline, the majority of which is lined with mangrove.
The north and east of Penang island is very built up.
Here is where most of the population live.
As in the rest of Malaysia, Penang has a tropical rainforest climate bordering on a tropical monsoon climate, although the state does experience slightly drier conditions from December to February of the following year.
The climate is very much dictated by the surrounding sea and the prevailing wind system.
In 2012 artist Ernest Zacharevic created a series of 6 wall paintings.
Since these paintings, the street art scene has grown.
There are lots of examples around Georgetown.
Many people come to the city just to see them!

Karnak is the largest ancient religious site in the world.
The complex of temples is near Luxor on the Nile in Egypt.
Luxor is some 500 km south of Cairo.
About thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings.
The site reached a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere.
The Karnak Temple Complex—usually called Karnak—is a vast group of ruined temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings.
The largest and most important are the Great Temple of Amun, and a massive structure begun by Pharaoh Ramses II (ca.
1391–1351 BC).
An ancient sacred lake is part of the site as well.
The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ('The Most Selected of Places').
It was the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty, part of the monumental city of Thebes.
Precinct of Amun-Re
This is the largest precinct of the temple complex, dedicated to Amun-Re (a form of Amun), the chief deity.
There are several colossal statues including the figure of Pinedjem I which is 10.5 meters tall.
The sandstone for this temple, including all the columns, was transported from Gebel Silsila 100 miles south on the Nile river.
It also has one of the largest obelisks weighing 328 tonnes and standing 29 meters tall.
The Great Hypostyle Hall
The Great Hypostyle Hall of Karnak, within the Karnak temple complex, in the Precinct of Amun-Re, is one of the most visited monuments of Ancient Egypt.
The hall covers an area of 50,000 sq ft (5,000 m2).
The roof, now fallen, was supported by 134 columns in 16 rows; the 2 middle rows are higher than the others (being 33 feet (10 m) in circumference and 80 feet (24 m) high).
The hall was not begun by Horemheb, or Amenhotep III as earlier scholars had thought.
It was built entirely by Seti I who covered the northern wing of the hall with inscriptions.
Decoration of the southern wing was completed by Ramesses II.
Ramesses changed Seti's names to his own along the main east-west axis of the Hall and part of the north-south processional route.
The three closed sites
The precinct of Amun-Re is the only part of Karnak which is open to the public.
There are also three smaller precicnts, which are not open:
Precinct of Mut.
This was dedicated to the mother goddess, Mut, who was worshipped as the wife of Amun-Re.
It has several smaller temples  and its own sacred lake, in a crescent shape.
This temple has been ravaged, many portions having been used in other structures.
Six hundred black granite statues were found in the courtyard to her temple.
It may be the oldest portion of the site.
Precinct of Montu.
This portion of the site is dedicated to the son of Mut and Amun-Re, Montu, the war-god.
It is to the north of the Amun-Re complex, and is much smaller in size.
Temple of  Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV).
This was destroyed after the death of its builder.
Akhenaten attempted to overcome the powerful priesthood that had gained control over Egypt before his reign.
The priesthood of that temple regained its power as soon as he died and destroyed many records of his life.
The temple was so well demolished that its full extent and lay-out is unknown.
Orochimaru is a fictional character of the manga Naruto.
He is one of the greatest villain of the story, as well as a very powerful and dangerous ninja.
He was formerly a ninja of Konoha, but defected 10 years before the beginning of the story, because his research about a technique which could allow Orochimaru to become immortal was discovered by Konoha officials and the Third Hokage.
He then created his own village, Otogakure, and vowed to destroy his former home.
When he was a ninja of Konoha, he was the most brilliant pupil of the Third Hokage, the leader of the village, and was considered to be one of the most powerful ninja of the entire village.
The Third Hokage even wanted Orochimaru to succeed him as the Fourth Hokage but the title was later given to Minato Namikaze, Naruto's father and Jiraiya's pupil.
In the first part of the series, Orochimaru tried to destroy his former home, invading it with an army of ninja, and killed his former master, but failed to destroy completely the village.
He later took Sasuke Uchiha as his apprentice, but was betrayed by him after training him during two and a half years.
Sasuke attacked Orochimaru when he was close to death, but Sasuke could not kill him and absorbed him in his body instead.
During the fight between Sasuke and his brother Itachi, Orochimaru was able to come out of Sasuke's body, but was quickly defeated by Itachi, who imprisoned him in a eternal illusion.
Orochimaru was later reincarnated by Sasuke Uchiha in order to revive the first 4 Hokage.
Orochimaru later participated in the Fourth Shinobi World War against Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha.

Using the word "unwritten" is a problem, because most British laws and rules are written as statutes, or court judgments, the law of equity and in various treaties.
Most of these laws come from the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Because most of the constitution is written down in this way, it is not technically correct to call it "unwritten" or "de facto".
However, these words are still used.
The Constitution of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is even more different to most other constitutions in that it is just a normal set of laws, and not a "higher" law that the government cannot easily change.
The constitution has no more authority than any other law in the UK, and the government can change it just by passing a new Act.
Constitutional principles
Parliamentary sovereignty
Parliamentary sovereignty means that the UK Parliament can pass, change and remove any law it wants.
Countries with codified ("written") constitutions usually have a set of rules that make it harder for legislatures to change the constitution.
In the UK, the constitution can be changed with a new Act.
The United Kingdom has rule of law.
This means that everyone, including important government officials, has to follow the law.
The rule of law also means that people can't be punished for doing something that isn't illegal.
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy.
This means it has a Queen or a King.
The Queen or King is decided by whether or not their parents, or other close relative, were King or Queen.
Oldest brothers used to get to be King first, then the next brother, and so on, turning only to daughters when there were no sons.
Queen Elizabeth II changed this, however, and rewrote the law so that the eldest child now becomes the next monarch no matter what that person’s gender is.

German philosophy refers to philosophy written in German or by German philosophers.
It started in the 17th century during the Age of Enlightenment, from Leibniz and Wolff through Kant, Schelling, Fichte, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Marx, Engels, and into the times of Nietzsche and Wittgenstein.
The philosophy that dominated this century was the school of German philosopher and mathematican Gottfred Leibniz, later expanded by his follower, Christian Wolff.
Leibniz thought that knowledge comes from reason alone.
On the wake of the Enlightenment, a new philosophy called "critical philosophy" developed in Germany.
It combined the ideals of philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) of France and Switzerland and David Hume (1711-1776) of Scotland, and rationalism and empiricism.
The founder of this school was Immanuel Kant.
He published three "critiques", the most revolutionary being Critique of Pure Reason (1781), the other two being, Critique of Practical Reason and Critique of Judgement.
Two followers of Kant, Schelling and Fichte, thought that Kant's system had some errors and sought to improve it.
A third philosopher, Hegel (1770-1831), developed his own kind of German idealism.
His books are often difficult to read, and his ideas influenced many people, including those who agreed with him, and those who did not.
Ghee is a product made from animal milk.
It is used in India, Nepal and Pakistani cookings as a form of oil or cooking fat.
It is made by boiling butter until all the water has evaporated out and the milk solids have settled to the bottom.
Types of Ghee
Ghee can be made out of many different kinds of milk like cow, sheep, and buffalo milk.
Ghee aged 10 to 100 years, called Kumbhiighrta, is believed to have medicinal properties.
Ghee which is washed for 100 times is called Shata Dhauta Ghrita and considered as the oldest Ayurvedic cream.
Composition of Ghee depends on the type of animal milk used.
Palmitic acid and Oleic acid are the main fatty acids found in ghee prepared from cow and sheep milk.
The Great Library of Alexandria was a large and significant library of the ancient world.
It was founded in Alexandria, Egypt.
The Library flourished under the patronage of the Ptolemaic dynasty and functioned as a major center of scholarship.
It was built in the third century BC.
In ancient Latin, the library was known as the "ALEXANDRINA BYBLIOTHECE" (see image at right).
The Greek term bibliotheke (βιβλιοθήκη), used by many historians of the era, refers to the collection of books, not to any building.
This complicates the history and chronology.
Its destruction
Plutarch (AD 46–120) wrote that during his visit to Alexandria in 48 BC, Julius Caesar might have accidentally burned the library when he set fire to his own ships to frustrate Achillas' attempt to limit his ability to communicate by sea.
According to Plutarch's account, this fire spread to the docks and then to the library.
However, this version of events is not confirmed in contemporary accounts of Caesar's visit.
In fact, it has been reasonably established that segments of its collection were partially destroyed on several occasions before and after the first century BC.
A modern view attributes the destruction to Coptic Christian Archbishop Theophilus of Alexandria in 391, who called for the destruction of the Serapeum -- the Daughter library and a temple to the god Serapis.
The Library as a research institution
The library comprised a peripatos (walk), gardens, a room for shared dining, a reading room, lecture halls and meeting rooms.
However, the exact layout is not known.
This model's influence may still be seen today in the layout of university campuses.
The library itself is known to have had an acquisitions department (possibly built near the stacks, or for utility closer to the harbour), and a cataloguing department.
The hall contained shelves for the collections of scrolls (as the books were at this time on papyrus scrolls), known as bibliothekai (βιβλιοθῆκαι).
It was rumored that carved into the wall above the shelves, a famous inscription read: The place of the cure of the soul.
It was the first known library to gather a serious collection of books from beyond its country's borders.
The Library was charged with collecting all the world's knowledge.
It did so through an aggressive and well-funded royal mandate involving trips to the book fairs of Rhodes and Athens and a policy of pulling the books off every ship that came into port.
They kept the original texts and made copies to send back to their owners.
Alexandria, because of its man-made bidirectional port between the mainland and the Pharos island, welcomed trade from the East and West, and soon found itself the international hub for trade, as well as the leading producer of papyrus and, soon enough, books.
The library was also home to a host of international scholars.
The library filled its stacks with new works in mathematics, astronomy, physics, natural history and other subjects.
It was at the Library of Alexandria that the scientific method was first conceived and put into practice, and its empirical standards applied in serious textual criticism.
As the same text often existed in several different versions, comparative textual criticism was crucial for ensuring their accuracy.
Once ascertained, copies would then be made for scholars, royalty and wealthy bibliophiles the world over, this commerce bringing income to the library.
The editors at the Library of Alexandria are especially well known for their work on Homeric texts.
The more famous editors generally also held the title of head librarian.
These included, among others,
Zenodotus (early third century BC)
Callimachus, (early third century BC), the first bibliographer and developer of the Pinakes - the first library catalog.
Apollonius of Rhodes (mid-third century BC)
Eratosthenes (late third century BC)
Aristophanes of Byzantium (early second century BC)
Aristarchus of Samothrace (late second century BC).
Already famous in the ancient world, the library's collection became even more storied in later years.
Papyrus scrolls comprised the collection, and although parchment codices were used predominantly as a more advanced writing material after 300 BC.
A single piece of writing might occupy several scrolls.
King Ptolemy II Philadelphus (309–246 BC) is said to have set 500,000 scrolls as an objective for the library.
Mark Antony supposedly gave Cleopatra over 200,000 scrolls (taken from the great Library of Pergamum) for the library as a wedding gift.
Carl Sagan, in his series Cosmos, states that the library contained nearly one million scrolls, though other experts have estimated a smaller number.
No index of the library survives, and it is not possible to know with certainty how large and how diverse the collection may have been.
A perhaps exaggerated story concerns how the library's collection grew so large.
By decree of Ptolemy III of Egypt, all visitors to the city were required to surrender all books and scrolls.
Official scribes then swiftly copied these writings, some copies proving so precise that the originals were put into the library, and the copies delivered to the unsuspecting owners.
This process also helped to create a reservoir of books in the relatively new city.
According to Galen, Ptolemy III requested permission from the Athenians to borrow the original scripts of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, for which the Athenians demanded the enormous amount of fifteen talents as guarantee.
Ptolemy happily paid the fee but kept the original scripts for the library.
Although it was created to determine which auxiliary language was best suited for international communication, it eventually determined that none of them was up to the task and developed its own language, Interlingua.
The IALA continued to publish materials in and about Interlingua until 1954.

A JavaScript engine is a program that runs JavaScript code.
Web Browsers often have a JavaScript engine.
It can also be used outside of web browsers, such as running services in Node.js or apps in the electron framework.
JavaScript was originally created as a scripting language to allow web pages to have changing, or dynamic, elements.
Early Javascript engines were created as interpreters, programs that simply read the script and execute the instructions without analyzing it any more.
As JavaScript started being used more an more as a general-purpose language, execution speed, or how quickly the code is run, became more important for JavaScript engines.
In response, many engines, such as V8 (Used in Chrome and Chromium) and SpiderMonkey (used in Firefox), started using Just-In-Time Compilation.
In this method, it starts by compiling all of the code to optimized machine code, which is typically faster than interpretation, then running the result.
Upper Volta was a territory belonging to France from 1919 to 1932 and later from 1947 to 1958.

Until 1960, it was still part of the French Community.
In 1960, Upper Volta gained independence from France.
In 1984, it became the country now known as Burkina Faso.

Oxford spelling is the spelling found in the Oxford English Dictionary.
One example would be "colour" instead of "color".
More exactly, Oxford spelling is the headwords used in their dictionaries.
In the full entries other variations are listed.
Most people in Britain use spellings like "organise" and "realise", but Oxford spelling uses "organize" and "realize".
Those alternatives are both correct in British English.

Daniel Ken "Dan" Inouye (September 7, 1924 – December 17, 2012) was an American politician and United States Senator from Hawaii.
He was known for receiving the Medal of Honor because of his actions in World War II.
Inouye was born in 1924 in the Territory of Hawaii.
He was the son of a father who was born in Japan and a mother whose parents were born in Japan.
He was a Nisei, which means that he was a second generation Japanese-American.
Inouye was an officer in World War II.
He volunteered to be part of the all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
This army unit was mostly made up of second-generation Japanese Americans from Hawaii and the mainland.
He was wounded several times at Colle Musatello (a battle in Italy), and lost an arm.
He remained in the military until 1947.
At the time he left the Army, he was a recipient of the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart.
For his actions in April 1945, Inouye was awarded the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).
In the 1990s, there was a review of service records of Asian Americans who received the DSC during World War II.
Inouye's award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
In a ceremony at the White House on June 21, 2000, he was presented with his medal by President Bill Clinton.
Twenty-one other Asian Americans also received the medal during the ceremony, but only seven of them were still alive.
Inouye's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting at San Terenzo, Italy in April 1945.
Without help from others, he destroyed two machine gun nests; and he continued to fight and lead his platoon after being wounded.
Second Lieutenant Daniel K. Inouye distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 21 April 1945, in the vicinity of San Terenzo, Italy.
