KalenderlysKalenderlyset er en forholdsvis ny juletradition, men den bunder i en skik, hvor man talte dagene til jul, som er meget ældre.
I starten af 1900-tallet var det almindeligt, at man i skolerne talte dagene til jul. I forskellige familier havde man hjemmegjorte kalendere, nogle med lys der blev tændt for hver dag der gik. I 1935 udkom en bog: "Smaa Fester - glade Gæster" af Lis Byrdal, der beskrev det første hjemmegjorte kalenderlys:
"En idé til børnene er at dele et lille tykt lys med 23 tynde, sorte tuschcirkler, som man kan lægge farver imellem, hvis man vil. Hver aften lige fra d. 1. december brænder man så et stykke ned - hele tiden til den næste streg. Den dag lyset brænder ud, er det jul - og træet tændes."
Den danske virksomhed Asp-Holmblad solgte de første fabriksfremstillede datolys, i Danmark i 1942 under den tyske besættelse. Til kalenderlyset hører ofte en hjemmelavet juledekoration som lysholder i ler omviklet med sølvpapir eller i oasis. Juledekorationen er pyntet med forskellige former for naturpynt. Grundbestanden er normalt gran evt. flere forskellige typer f.eks. normannsgran og nobilis, men også kristtjørn, vedbend, grankogler, tørrede planter fra haven eller fra skoven, kugler og bånd og indendørs lyskæder kan anvendes til pynt i juledekorationen.

Kuserup er en gammel bebyggelse, landsby og et gods i Løve Herred på Nordvestsjælland, tæt ved Tissø. Omkring d. 11. november (Sankt Mortens dag) 1405 skænkede Erik Ovesen af Svinninge, på grund af pengenød, sit fædrene gods i Kuserup til Sankt Marie kloster i Sorø. Han havde først tilbudt sine slægtninge at købe det, men da ingen af dem bød ind, solgte han det til klosteret.
Gården som kaldtes Kuserupgård var på 18 ørtug skyldjord og to gårdsædegårde, og den jord og andet der hørte til disse. Det var abbed Niels Klementsen der stod for opkøbet.
I løbet af 16. og 17. århundrede blev gårdene i den senere landsby Kuserup lagt ind under det nærliggende gods Kattrup af de pågældende ejere. En gang i 1600-tallet skiftede den daværende ejer af Kattrup navnet ud med "Kuserup", men det blev ikke hængende længe.
Disse jorder, hvorpå landsbyen og Kuserupgård tidligere lå, udgør også i dag Kattrup Gods.

Krigen til søs under Operation Overlord omfattede kamphandlinger mellem tyske og allierede flådeenheder i perioden fra begyndelsen af juni til midten af august 1944 i Den engelske kanal.
De vestallierede havde længe planlagt en storstilet operation under kodenavnet Operation Overlord, som skulle skaffe dem et sikkert fodfæste i det nordvestlige Frankrig og skabe en Anden front i kampen mod Nazityskland. Deloperationer indenfor rammerne af Overlord fik egne kodenavne. Invasionen på D-dag fik navnet Operation Neptune - dvs. transporten til Normandiet, selve landgangen og sikring af brohovederne på strandene. Læs mere

An 1888 cigarette card featuring King Kelly, a catcher for the Boston Beaneaters, part of a 50 card set depicting athletes from a variety of sports, including eight baseball players. This is an early example of the use of pointillism in printmaking to create a wide variety of colors with a small number of plates. The pointillist technique was later advanced to create halftoning and Benday dots.

state of Gujarat and the seventh largest urban agglomeration in India, with a population of almost 5.1 million. Located on the banks of the River Sabarmati, the city is the administrative centre of Ahmedabad district, and was the capital of Gujarat from 1960 to 1970; the capital was shifted to Gandhinagar thereafter. The city was founded in 1411 to serve as the capital of the Sultanate of Gujarat, by its namesake, Sultan Ahmed Shah. Under British rule, a military cantonment was established and the city infrastructure was modernised and expanded. The city was at the forefront of the Indian independence movement in the first half of the 20th century. It was the epicentre of many campaigns of civil disobedience to promote workers' rights, civil rights and political independence. With the creation of the state of Gujarat in 1960, Ahmedabad gained prominence as the political and commercial capital of the state. Once characterised by dusty roads and bungalows, the city is witnessing a major construction boom and population increase. A rising centre of education, information technology and scientific industries, Ahmedabad remains the cultural and commercial heart of Gujarat, and much of western India. (more...)

The song "Computer World" was used as the theme music of the series The Computer Programme, a TV show originally broadcast on British network BBC2 in 1982. The series aimed to introduce people to computers and showcase their potential. "Computer World 2" was used at the end of the show on the credits.
Afro-Rican, a popular Miami Bass and Hip-Hop group, sampled Kraftwerk's "It's more fun to compute" on its hit "Give it All You Got (Doggy Style)," which would later be sampled on Fergie's hit "Fergalicious."
Coldplay got the permission to use the synthesizer melody of "Computer Love" in its song "Talk," which was featured on the album X&Y.[citation needed]
Pizzicato Five utilized the bass line from "Pocket Calculator" for the song "Contact" from Romantique 96.
German musician Uwe Schmidt, under his pseudonym Señor Coconut, recorded a merengue arrangement of the song "Home Computer" on El Baile Alemán, his album of Latin-style Kraftwerk cover versions.
Nicole Scherzinger, lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, launched her solo career with "Steam," a track that heavily sampled "Numbers."
An image of the Computer World album cover was used on a t-shirt given to students in the Fall 1998 EE302 class taught at the University of Texas at Austin. This T-shirt has since made appearances on the Warner Bros. television show Beauty and the Geek.
Kaiser Broadcasting, the stations of which included WKBS in Philadelphia and WFLD in Chicago, used the tracks "Numbers" and "Home Computer" as musical backgrounds for its kids cartoon bumpers in the early-mid 1980's.
The Miami bass hip-hop group the Puppies sampled "It's more fun to Compute" and "Numbers" in its song "Funky Y-2-C."
The Native American house-music group Alternations sampled "Home Computer" in its song "Feel it for You."
Techmaster P.E.B. used samples of "Computer Love" and a did a complete remake of "Numbers," called "Bass by Numbers," on its debut album, Bass Computer

History of computing

2009-07-07T21:51:00.000-07:00

The first use of the word "computer" was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued to be used in that sense until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century onwards though, the word began to take on its more familiar meaning, describing a machine that carries out computations.[3]
The history of the modern computer begins with two separate technologies—automated calculation and programmability—but no single device can be identified as the earliest computer, partly because of the inconsistent application of that term. Examples of early mechanical calculating devices include the abacus, the slide rule and arguably the astrolabe and the Antikythera mechanism (which dates from about 150–100 BC). Hero of Alexandria (c. 10–70 AD) built a mechanical theater which performed a play lasting 10 minutes and was operated by a complex system of ropes and drums that might be considered to be a means of deciding which parts of the mechanism performed which actions and when.[4] This is the essence of programmability.
The "castle clock", an astronomical clock invented by Al-Jazari in 1206, is considered to be the earliest programmable analog computer.[5] It displayed the zodiac, the solar and lunar orbits, a crescent moon-shaped pointer travelling across a gateway causing automatic doors to open every hour,[6][7] and five robotic musicians who played music when struck by levers operated by a camshaft attached to a water wheel. The length of day and night could be re-programmed to compensate for the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year.[5]
The Renaissance saw a re-invigoration of European mathematics and engineering. Wilhelm Schickard's 1623 device was the first of a number of mechanical calculators constructed by European engineers, but none fit the modern definition of a computer, because they could not be programmed.
In 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard made an improvement to the textile loom by introducing a series of punched paper cards as a template which allowed his loom to weave intricate patterns automatically. The resulting Jacquard loom was an important step in the development of computers because the use of punched cards to define woven patterns can be viewed as an early, albeit limited, form of programmability.
It was the fusion of automatic calculation with programmability that produced the first recognizable computers. In 1837, Charles Babbage was the first to conceptualize and design a fully programmable mechanical computer, his analytical engine.[8] Limited finances and Babbage's inability to resist tinkering with the design meant that the device was never completed.
In the late 1880s Herman Hollerith invented the recording of data on a machine readable medium. Prior uses of machine readable media, above, had been for control, not data. "After some initial trials with paper tape, he settled on punched cards ..."[9] To process these punched cards he invented the tabulator, and the key punch machines. These three inventions were the foundation of the modern information processing industry. Large-scale automated data processing of punched cards was performed for the 1890 United States Census by Hollerith's company, which later became the core of IBM. By the end of the 19th century a number of technologies that would later prove useful in the realization of practical computers had begun to appear: the punched card, Boolean algebra, the vacuum tube (thermionic valve) and the teleprinter.
During the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by increasingly sophisticated analog computers, which used a direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation. However, these were not programmable and generally lacked the versatility and accuracy of modern digital computers.
Alan Turing is widely regarded to be the father of modern computer science. In 1936 Turing provided an influential formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine. Of his role in the modern computer, Time Magazine in naming Turing one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, states: "The fact remains that everyone who taps at a keyboard, opening a spreadsheet or a word-processing program, is working on an incarnation of a Turing machine." [10]
George Stibitz is internationally recognized as a father of the modern digital computer. While working at Bell Labs in November of 1937, Stibitz invented and built a relay-based calculator he dubbed the "Model K" (for "kitchen table", on which he had assembled it), which was the first to use binary circuits to perform an arithmetic operation. Later models added greater sophistication including complex arithmetic and programmability.[11]

A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions.
Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).[1] Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space.[2] Simple computers are small enough to fit into a wristwatch, and can be powered by a watch battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous.
The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a mobile phone to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity.
