Little Ararat

Little Ararat, also known as Mount Sis or Lesser Ararat (Turkish: Küçük Ağrı, Armenian: Փոքր Արարատ Pok’r Ararat or Սիս Sis), is the sixth tallest peak in Turkey. Until 1932, Little Ararat was on the Iranian side of the border. In 1932, Turkey and Iran had a border exchange agreement where Iran left this mountain in return for a town in Van. It is a large satellite cone located on the eastern flank of the massive Mount Ararat, less than five miles west of Turkey's border with Iran. Despite being dwarfed by its higher and far more famous neighbor, Little Ararat is a significant volcano of its own with an almost perfectly symmetrical, conical form and smooth constructional slopes. It rises about 1,200 m (4,000 ft) above the saddle connecting it with the main peak.

SiS (TV series)

Overview

The show was conceptualized by GMA executives in 2001 who wanted a different approach to typical morning TV talk shows. At the time, the morning talk shows on TV were mostly live panel discussions with guest celebrities.

When the concept was given to director Louie Ignacio, it was decided right there and then that real-life sisters and actresses Janice de Belen and Gelli de Belen would headline the show Sis, an abbreviation for "sisters". Janice and Gelli were chosen because of their accomplishments in their fields in the entertainment industry. Janice was "Flordeluna" to most Filipino viewers in the 1980s who later metamorphosed into a serious actress and mother of five. Gelli on the other hand, had the '90s generation of the viewing public rollicking into laughter when she portrayed kooky characters on TV and movies before developing to a serious actress in the movie Sarah Jane Salazar which garnered her an Urian award.

Zipper (data structure)

A zipper is a technique of representing an aggregate data structure so that it is convenient for writing programs that traverse the structure arbitrarily and update its contents, especially in purely functional programming languages. The zipper was described by Gérard Huet in 1997. It includes and generalizes the gap buffer technique sometimes used with arrays.

The zipper technique is general in the sense that it can be adapted to lists, trees, and other recursively defined data structures. Such modified data structures are usually referred to as "a tree with zipper" or "a list with zipper" to emphasize that the structure is conceptually a tree or list, while the zipper is a detail of the implementation.

A layman's explanation for a tree with zipper would be an ordinary computer filesystem with operations to go to parent (often cd ..), and the possibility to go downwards (cd subdirectory). The zipper is the pointer to the current path. Behind the scenes the zippers are efficient when making (functional) changes to a data structure, where a new, slightly changed, data structure is returned from an edit operation (instead of making a change in the current data structure).

Zipper (BDSM)

In BDSM terms, a zipper is a string of clothespins or other clips, held together loosely by a cord or light chain.

The skin is clipped in the clips for a short time, then the cord is pulled, causing the clips to be pulled off the skin one by one in sequence causing a "zip" sound, and a unique sensation. Zippers come in many sizes and with varied numbers of clips. They are a very popular home-made BDSM toy. A zipper can also be created with temporary piercing needles. Zippers are commonly incorporated in predicament bondage.
