Batman: The Killing Joke is a 1988 DC Comics graphic novel featuring the characters Batman and The Joker.
It was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland.
The Killing Joke gives an origin story for the supervillain the Joker, loosely based from the 1951 story arc "The Man Behind the Red Hood!".

In classical software architecture, the architecture is often layered.
There is one layer for the user interface, another for the application logic, and yet another for accessing persistent data (such as a database).
In classical software architecture, an application server is used, which will run the different services (such as different entrypoints of a web site, or different parts of the business application).
The problem with this approach is that such application servers often do not scale very well, they need a lot of resources, and services are often tightly coupled.
Microservices are patterns of Software architecture: The approach is similar to the pattern described above, but the services are very small: very often they only provide one or two very specific functions.
To get the same situation as above, these services must interact with each other.
Very often they do this using RESTful service calls.
Each microservice still has the parts of the user interface layer, the application layer, and the layer to access persistent data.
Very often, microservices run in an application container.
When the load requires it, special software in the application container can be used to run several instances (or copies) of the specific service.
Microservices is a specialization of an implementation approach for service-oriented architectures (SOA) used to build flexible, independently deployable software systems.
The microservices approach is a first realisation of SOA that followed the introduction of DevOps and is becoming more popular for building continuously deployed systems.

The intermediate value theorem says that if a function, , is continuous over a closed interval , and is equal to  and  at either end of the interval, for any number, c, between  and , we can find an  so that .
This means that if a continuous function's sign changes in an interval, we can find a root of the function in that interval.
For example, if  and , we can find an  in the interval  that is a root of this function, meaning that for this value of x, , if  is continuous.
This corollary is called Bolzano's theorem.

Augustin-Louis Cauchy (21 August 1789 – 23 May 1857) was a French mathematician and physicist who made many important contributions to mathematical analysis and mathematical physics, including elasticity.
Importantly, he created complex analysis, which studies complex functions and their properties.
Cauchy graduated the École Polytechnique.
Cauchy did not like mathematicians making assumptions, and he particularly did not like the way that earlier mathematicians, such as Euler and Lagrange, assumed that properties of finite expansions, meaning that we can count the number of terms, also worked for infinite series.
Cauchy was able to give examples of where this did not work, and called the assumptions that the earlier mathematicians made, the generality of algebra.
More theorems have been named after Cauchy than any other mathematician in history.

In Egyptian mythology, the Ogdoad are a group of eight deities (divine beings) worshipped in Hermopolis.
The gods of the Ogdoad were mostly seen as humans with the heads of animals, or just depicted as snakes and frogs.
They were arranged in four male-female pairs, with the males associated with frogs, and the females with snakes.
Their story is part of the Egyptian creation myth.
The Egyptians believed that before the world was formed, there was a watery mass of dark, directionless chaos.
In this chaos lived the Ogdoad of Khmunu (Hermopolis).

A surfactant is a chemical that lowers the surface tension of a liquid.
Less surface tension lets the liquid soak into things better, and can also let bubbles form easier.
A liquid that bubbles and soaks into things is better at cleaning, so surfactants are used in soap.
Every year, 15 million tons of surfactants are made.
Half of them are used in soap; the rest are used in many different ways including making toothpaste and concrete.
One popular surfactant is sodium laurel sulfate, also called sodium dodecyl sulfate or SDS.
