Michael Jochum is an American rock/jazz/nu metal drummer. Although a session musician early in his career, he gained more recognition as a touring member of the band Korn. He started as a musician in the late 1970s as a member of the jazz rock/jazz fusion band, Kittyhawk. He also began performing on sessions for the likes of jazz musician David Pritchard, Ronnie Laws, Bobby Bland, and DeBarge. By the mid-1980s, he was playing alongside then-former Oingo Boingo members Richard Gibbs and Kerry Hatch in the band Zuma II, which had an eponymously titled record released by Pasha/CBS Records. One of his first major contributions as a session musician was as the sole drummer on the self-titled debut album from songwriting/recording duo Boy Meets Girl. He later appeared on several tracks on the group's follow-up album, Reel Life, including their most successful single, "Waiting for a Star to Fall," on which he is featured as one of two drummers. He also played drums in Jackson Browne's World in Motion and toured with him for over four years. He is mostly known for his work as part of Korn's backing band. He played 2nd percussion and donned a pig mask during the See You on the Other Side and Family Values 2006 tours, as well as their MTV: Unplugged performance. During the MTV: Unplugged, Jochum was the lead drummer, since David Silveria was then on hiatus. Jochum left the back-up band shortly after Korn's 2007 European Tour, due to setlist changes that did not involve Jochum's drumming. Jochum returned to the Korn world in November 2007 following Joey Jordison's return to Slipknot. He was also a member of Jonathan Davis' acoustic solo tour band. He was back out of the band in 2008, replaced by Ray Luzier for Korn's early 2008 European tour.

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B' is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPP2R4 gene. Protein phosphatase 2A is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases and is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. Protein phosphatase 2A holoenzymes are heterotrimeric proteins composed of a structural subunit A, a catalytic subunit C, and a regulatory subunit B. The regulatory subunit is encoded by a diverse set of genes that have been grouped into the B/PR55, B'/PR61, and B/PR72 families. These different regulatory subunits confer distinct enzymatic specificities and intracellular localizations to the holozenzyme. The product of this gene belongs to the B' family. This gene encodes a specific phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator of the dimeric form of protein phosphatase 2A. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

The Battle of New Orleans was fought on January 8, 1815, between the British Army under Major General Sir Edward Pakenham, and the United States Army under Brevet Major General Andrew Jackson. It took place approximately 5 miles (8.0 kilometres) east-southeast of the city of New Orleans, close to the present-day town of Chalmette, Louisiana, and was a U.S. victory. The battle took place directly after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, before news of the treaty could reach the United States. U.S. troops defeated a poorly executed British assault on New Orleans, despite the British having a large advantage in training, experience, and fielded troops. In just over a half-hour, the U.S. suffered just over 60 casualties, while the British suffered roughly 2,000 casualties.

Omai is a creator deity (god) mentioned by Davi Kopenawa Yanomami, a shaman and Portuguese-speaking spokesperson of the Yanomami índios of Brazil. In his own words translated from Portuguese: I want to speak giving the message from Omai. Omai is the creator of the Yanomami who also has created all the shaboris that are the shamans. The shaboris are the ones that have the knowledge, and they sent two of us to deliver their message. As Davi Kopenawa learned Portuguese from a Christian mission run by New Tribes Mission, an American evangelical organization specializing in the proselytization of isolated peoples, it may be that Omai is regarded as synonymous with God the Father as revered in Christian belief via syncretism.

Audience response is a type of interaction associated with the use of audience response systems, to create interactivity between a presenter and its audience. Systems for co-located audiences combine wireless hardware with presentation software, and systems for remote audiences may use telephones or web polls for audiences watching through television or the Internet. Various names are used for this technology, including real time response, the worm, dial testing, and audience response meters. In educational settings, such systems are often called "student response systems" or "personal response systems." The hand-held remote control that students use to convey their responses to questions is often called a "clicker." More recent entrants into the market do not require specialized hardware. There are commercial and open-source, cloud-based tools that allow responses from the audience using a range of personal computing devices such as cell phones, smartphones, and laptops. These types of systems have added new types of functionality as well, such as free text responses that are aggregated into sortable word clouds, as well as the more traditional true/false and multiple choice style questions. This type of system also mitigates some of the concerns articulated below in the "Challenges of audience response" section.

Candida blankii is a species of budding yeast (Saccharomycotina) in the family Saccharomycetaceae. It was described in 1968 by H. R. Buckley and N. van Uden after being isolated from mink organs in Canada by F. Blank, in whose honour it was named. The description was published in the journal Mycopathologia et mycologia applicata, along with descriptions for four other news species. Like many yeasts, Candida blankii has been the subject of various biotechnological studies, including for use as a BOD biosensor. In 2015, the yeast was found in the airways of a patient with cystic fibrosis; this was the first recorded case of Candida blankii infection in humans. A second case was reported in 2018. The fungus proved resistant to treatment with antifungals.
