A print advertisement from about 1989 says:
Reception
IGN editor Craig Harris said the U-Force is the eighth worst video game controller. MSN editor Duncan Jefferies said it is the second worst peripheral, saying "Second only to the Sega Activator in terms of all-out crappiness, the U-Force also used infrared sensors to create a truly nightmarish controller...'Don’t Touch' said the adverts for the device, in a rare example of an advertising campaign that got it spot on."

868508 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbotronic | Turbotronic | Turbotronic is a joystick made by Camerica in the late 1980s. It can connect to a Nintendo Entertainment System (7 pins) or an Atari joystick port (9 pins), used with multiple Atari and Commodore home computers, game consoles and the Sega Master System.
The Turbotronic and Freedom Stick, a wireless, infrared version only for the Nintendo Entertainment System that came out in 1988, looks like the NES Advantage, released by Nintendo of America in 1987, so Nintendo sued Camerica.
It later became a new product, Supersonic the Joystick. A triangular base for right-handed and left-handed use was added, and suction cups at the bottom to keep it stable.
Freedom Stick and Supersonic the Joystick are some of the first game controllers to use infrared. Brøderbund's U-Force does it with no hands.

Congress idea
Georg Cantor was one of the first to push for international mathematical conferences. In 1888, he proposed a meeting between German and French mathematicians and later, between 1894 and 1896, he contacted several great mathematicians proposing an international conference. He had the support of Felix Klein, Heinrich Weber, Émile Lemoine and others. Cantor proposed that a trial conference be held in 1897, either in Switzerland or in Belgium. He realized that neutral options were needed for French and German mathematicians to attend. He proposed that the first real conference take place in Paris in 1900. It quickly became evident that of the two options, Switzerland or Belgium, Switzerland was privileged because of its international reputation. The German Mathematical Society and the French Mathematical Society endorsed these ideas and agreed to contact Carl Geiser in Zurich. The 1897 congress was so successful that, rather than seeing it as a trial congress, it became the first international congress of mathematicians. It should be noted that the regulations enacted during this congress were the guiding principles of the following congresses and still influence the style of the congresses today.

The Congress brought together 250 full members.
Congress course
The first meeting took place at Café Voltaire, on August 5, at 8:30 p.m. before the official inauguration of the Congress, and allowed several of its members to make contacts, to bond or to renew friendships.
The delegates met on August 7 for a lunch, served at the École Normale Supérieure whose Director, Georges Perrot, had kindly provided us with the Salle des Actes; Jules Tannery graciously agreed to do the honors. Perrot, Moritz Cantor and Darboux spoke successively with much applauded toasts.
The delegates were received on August 10 by the President of the French Republic, Émile Loubet, and on August 11, along with their colleagues from the Physics Congress, by Prince Roland Bonaparte, whose generous dedication to scientific enterprises is known.
Finally, after the close of the Congress, its members gathered in large numbers on August 12, at noon, for a farewell banquet that many ladies and young girls were kind enough to honor and charm with their presence. The President of the Congress unfortunately found himself too tired to participate. Many toasts were raised, first by Darboux, who excused Henri Poincaré, then by Carl Friedrich Geiser, on behalf of the foreign delegates, by Jules Tannery who proposed the health of those absent, and by Cyparissos Stephanos and Nikolái Vasíliev; Darboux, finally, spoke again in his own name, and improvised a charming speech, in which he underlined how close it is that mathematicians must feel, since there are no scientists whose work is more disinterested, nor less likely to conquer the masses of the laity.
Some members of the Congress met in the evening at the Opera, during a gala evening for which the Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts, Georges Leygues, reserved a few places for members of the Congress of the International Congress of Mathematicians.
Hilbert's Problems
In many ways, it was David Hilbert's lecture on Hilbert's Problems in Mathematics the most famous lecture given at an International Congress of Mathematicians. It is sometimes described as a plenary conference and sometimes not. This is because Hilbert was invited to give a plenary lecture at the 1900 Congress. He couldn't decide on a topic and discussed what he should talk about with Hermann Minkowski and Adolf Hurwitz. Eventually he decided to discuss some outstanding math problems, but took a long time to write his lecture. The 1900 Congress program was released before it was ready, so his speech was not advertised as a plenary conference. It was delivered in Congress during a joint session of the Education Section and the History Section (due to lack of time Hilbert only spoke about 10 of his 23 issues in the conference, although all 23 problems appear in the published). It was on August 8, at 9:00 a.m. when David Hilbert gave his conference. It was titled On Future Problems in Mathematics.
By the time the Conference Proceedings appeared, the organizers decided that, because of its importance, they would put Hilbert's article in the section with plenary lectures. Another point worth noting is that Most of this congress was in French, but there was a discussion of math problems published in so many languages.
Right after Hilbert's exposition, Giuseppe Peano said that Alessandro Padoa's subsequent communication would address Hilbert's issue no. 2. Rudolf Mehmke recalls that he proposed certain monographic representations in space from which a solution of the general equation of the seventh degree could result.

The adult male frog is to long from nose to rear end. The adult female frog is 11.0 cm long. Their skin is green on the back and some of their toes are brown and white. They have white and orange bellies, white chests, and white throats. Their eyes are orange, red, and black mixed together.
This frog hides during the day and looks for food at night. It lives in trees. Male frogs sit on tall plants near ponds and sing for females. The females lay 200-500 eggs at a time in nests. The nest is built out of leaves in trees hanging over the pond. The female puts jelly on the eggs so they don't dry out. When the tadpoles hatch, they fall out of the nest into the water.

868611 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable%20oystercatcher | Variable oystercatcher | The variable oystercatcher, black oystercatcher, tōrea pango, or tōrea tai (Haematopus unicolor) is a bird in the family Haematopodidae. It lives in New Zealand.
Appearance
This bird has a long orange bill and thick pink legs. Female birds have longer bills than male birds. Its eyes are red with an orange circle.
This bird does not have subspecies, but it can come in different shades of black and white and gray. Sometimes people see young variable oystercatchers and think they are South Island pied oystercatchers, but adult variable oystercatchers are too big.
Food
Variable oystercatchers eat molluscs, worms, and crustaceans, but they like two-shelled molluscs the most. They can put their bill inside the crack between the two shells and then twist until it opens. Sometimes red-billed gulls take the variable oystercatcher's food.
Breeding
Variable oystercatchers sometimes choose one partner for their whole life. Sometimes a pair will stay in the same place where they build nests all year, and sometimes they will fly with flocks for part of the year. Both the male and female variable oystercatcher sit on the egg. The egg takes 28 days to hatch. The chick can fly after 6-7 weeks.
Threats
Human beings killed this oystercatcher for food. Its population was lowest in about 1922, when people decided to stop hunting the bird. There were 2000 birds alive in the 1970s, 4000 in the 1990s and probably 5000 to 6000 alive today.
New Zealand does not have laws protecting the variable oystercatcher. However, variable oystercatchers build nests in the same places as the fairy terns and New Zealand dotterels, which are protected.

868698 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brolga | Brolga | The brolga (Grus rubicunda) is a bird in the family Gruidae. It lives in Australia.
Only two cranes live in Australia, the brolga and the sarus crane.
Appearance
This is the largest bird in Australia that can fly. (The emu is larger but does not fly.) It is 1.3 metres tall and its wings stretch 2.5 metres from end to end. Its feathers are light gray except under the chin, and there is some red skin on its neck. it has long black legs.
Young brolgas are darker gray with no red or black.
Habitat and food
The brolga looks for food in swamps and other wetlands. It will put its head all the way under the water. It can look for food in drier places, like grasslands and farms, but it goes to wetlands when it can.
The brolga digs into the ground with its strong bill. It pries up bits of earth. It eats the roots of sedge plants the most, but it also eats molluscs, frogs, crustaceans, and large insects.
Breeding
Brolga dance for each other. It jumps in the air, stretches down and up, throws things into the air, and makes loud noises.
Brolga make nests. They build a platform out of mud, grass, and sticks. They build it on an island or even in the water. They have two eggs at a time.
Threats
The brolga suffers from habitat loss because humans drain their swamps to make farmland and control floods. Long ago, farmers poisoned brolga so they would not eat crops.

The letters stand for "transcription activator-like effector nucleases". The technique is called "genome editing with engineered nucleases". Together with zinc finger nucleases and CRISPR/Cas9, TALEN was for a while an important tool in genome editing.
TALENs have now been superseded by CRISPR techniques.

868721 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape%20culture | Rape culture | In sociology, rape culture is a term that is used to describe a society where rape is common. This is mostly due to the views these societies have about gender and sexuality. Other behaviours that can often be found include victim blaming and sexual objectification. People in these societies may trivialize rape, or they say that it isn't much of a problem. They also often deny the fact that sexual violence is causing harm to the the victim. Very often, there is a combination of all these issues.
The term rape culture has also been used for other settings, or to describe the behavior of specific groups of people: Examples of these are people being raped in prison, or using rape in a war, as a form of psychological warfare.
That way, entire societies have been called rape cultures.
Some people also have sexual fantasies about raping someone, or being raped; in that context, their ideas may be seen as part of pornography.
Second-wave feminists first had the idea of 'rape culture', in the 1970s. Most of them came from the United States.
Critics of the concept say that it doesn't exist or is not widespread. They also say that even if there may be societies where rape is common, the concept of 'rape culture' implies that the person who rapes is not at fault; rather it is the society that made the rape possible.
There are many movements who have addressed the idea of rape culture. They include movements such as SlutWalk and Me Too. Tatiana Burke, an American activist started Me Too, after she was sexually assaulted in 2006. Some of these movements have developed into self-help groups, where victims can talk about their experiences, and help each other.
