+Dame Reubina Ann Ballin  (20 February 1932 – 2 September 2003) was a New Zealand psychologist and victims' rights advocate. In 2002, she was accorded New Zealand's highest civilian honour, membership of the Order of New Zealand.
+
+
+== Biography ==
+Born in Hamilton in 1932, Ballin was educated at St Hilda's Collegiate School in Dunedin and Waikato Diocesan School in Hamilton. In her mid-teens, she developed a neurological condition that attacked her spinal column, that made her reliant on a wheelchair for the remainder of her life.
+Ballin attended Auckland University College and the University of Canterbury, graduating BA in 1961 and MA in 1964. Her master's thesis was on learning in patients receiving electro-convulsive therapy. A qualified psychologist, she worked as a student counsellor at the University of Canterbury from 1974 to 1986, and served as president of the New Zealand Psychological Society from 1979 to 1980. She was the society's first female president.
+She chaired the Victims' Task Force from 1988 to 1993 and pioneered changes in the criminal justice system to improve justice for victims of crime. Between 1987 and 1995, she chaired the New Zealand Council for Recreation and served on the Hillary Commission on Recreation and Sport from 1987 to 1990. From 1987 to 1988, she was a member of the Royal Commission on Social Policy and between 1980 and 1982 she was chairperson of the national committee of the International Year of Disabled Persons.
+Ballin died in Christchurch on 2 September 2003.
+
+
+== Honours and awards ==
+In the 1982 New Year Honours, Ballin was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to disabled people. She was promoted to Dame Commander of the same order in the 1993 New Year Honours, for services to the community.
+Ballin received the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal, and was awarded an honorary LittD degree by the University of Canterbury in 2001.
+In the 2002 Queen's Birthday and Golden Jubilee Honours, Ballin was appointed an additional member of the Order of New Zealand.

+Chieko Asakawa (浅川 智恵子, Asakawa Chieko) is a blind Japanese computer scientist, known for her work at IBM Research – Tokyo in accessibility. A Netscape browser plug-in she developed, the IBM Home Page Reader, became the most widely used web-to-speech system available. She is the recipient of numerous industry and government awards.
+
+
+== Education and career ==
+Asakawa was born with normal sight. When she was eleven years old, while swimming, she struck her left eye on the side of the pool, injuring her optic nerve. She began losing her sight, and by the age of fourteen was completely blind. She earned a bachelor's degree in English literature at Otemon Gakuin University in Osaka in 1982, followed by a two-year computer programming course designed for the visually impaired; students used Optacons to translate print to tactile sensation. She joined IBM Research in a temporary position in 1984, and became a permanent staff researcher one year later. In 2004 she earned a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Tokyo.
+
+
+== Contributions ==
+Asakawa's research projects have included developing a word processor for Braille documents, developing a digital library for Braille documents, developing an application to improve accessibility of streaming services, developing a Netscape browser plug-in that converted text to speech and provided a more convenient web navigation mechanism for blind people, and developing a system that would allow sighted web designers to experience the web as blind people. Her browser plugin became a 1997 IBM product, the IBM Home Page Reader, and within five years it had become the most widely used web-to-speech system available.
+More recently her work has also studied accessible control of multimedia content, technological and social changes that would allow elderly people to work for more years before retiring, and the development of technology that would make the physical world more accessible to blind people. Currently, Asakawa has finished working on a lightweight suitcase robot helping blind people navigate through complicated terrain.
+
+
+== Awards and honors ==
+Asakawa was added to the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame in 2003.
+She became an IBM Fellow, IBM's top honor for its employees, in 2009, becoming the fifth Japanese person and first Japanese woman with that honor. In 2011 the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology gave her their Women of Vision Award. She was a keynote speaker at the Fourth International Conference on Software Development for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion (DSAIE 2012). In 2013 the Japanese government awarded her their Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon. A paper she wrote in 1998 with Takashi Itoh describing their work on web user interfaces for blind people was the winner of the 2013 ACM SIGACCESS Impact Award.
+In 2017, she was elected as an international member of the US National Academy of Engineering for developing technologies for the visually impaired to access digital information. In 2022 Asakawa was elected as a new member to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

+The deaf/Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) population is underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math fields (STEM), despite a history of excellence in these fields. The lack of standard American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary, engaging hands-on learning environments, and DHH mentors seems to contribute largely to the discrepancy.
+
+
+== History ==
+DHH scientists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have contributed greatly to the world. The field of astronomy, in particular, has been blessed with many DHH scholars who have immensely advanced the field, including Robert Aitken, Annie Jump Cannon, John Goodricke, Olaf Hassel, and Henrietta Swan Leavitt. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was one of the founding fathers of astronautics and rocketry. In addition, the Gallaudet Eleven were Deaf research subjects in the 1950s and 1960s, essential for NASA's study of the effects of weightlessness on humans.
+
+
+== DHH statistics in STEM ==
+The DHH population in the U.S. has fewer associate's and bachelor's degrees than their hearing peers (27.7% vs. 43.3% for associate degrees, 18.8% vs. 34% for bachelor's degrees), and this gap has persisted for the last decade across ages, genders, and races. The difference seems due to lower rates of entry into associate's and bachelor's programs, since DHH students complete their bachelor's degrees at rates similar to their hearing peers. From 2001 through 2010, only 0.17% of the doctorate degrees given in the U.S. were to DHH students. This number increased to 1.2% by 2014.  Employment rates for DHH graduates also lag behind their hearing peers, particularly in science and engineering fields. Approximately 2.8% of scientists and engineers employed in the U.S. in 2019 reported having a moderate or severe hearing disability.
+
+
+== ASL STEM vocabulary ==
+One obstacle for the DHH population is the limited standard ASL vocabulary of STEM concepts. Because these signs develop in different locations, many different signs are often given for the same word or concept. For example, the sign for "protein" has at least five different signs in the various databases listed below. This makes both communication and education in their native language difficult for the DHH population in STEM fields.
+Efforts headed by Harry G. Lang began in the 1970s to catalog STEM signs for use in education through the NTID Technical Signs Project, which became the NTID Science Signs Lexicon. The database is no longer accessible to the public, but NTID has since established both ASLCORE and the DeafTEC STEM dictionary. Several other databases have also emerged, including ASL CLeaR, the ASL STEM Forum, and the TERC Signing Math and Science Dictionaries. The Atomic Hands website acts as a clearinghouse for these databases and for ASL STEM curriculum, in addition to producing their own ASL STEM videos and a networking database for Deaf STEM professionals.
+Previous research on ASL STEM vocabulary determined standard signs were more likely to be used by teachers in science classes if they accurately depicted scientific concepts, but invented signs showed no patterns of preference.
+
+
+== DHH STEM education ==
+Many studies have suggested that hands-on, inquiry-based learning is ideal for DHH students since traditional teaching methods rely heavily on lectures and printed materials such as textbooks, which may be more difficult to process for DHH students who are native signers.
+A 2018 study with Gallaudet STEM majors found that Deaf students had better undergraduate research experiences with hearing mentors when they educated their colleagues about Deaf culture, strongly advocated for themselves, had mentors that were willing to work closely with them, and worked with other Deaf students.

+Van Aardenne studied Physics and Mathematics at the Leiden University simultaneously obtaining a Master of Physics and Mathematics degree. Van Aardenne worked for a corporate director for an iron manufacturer company in Dordrecht from September 1957 until December 1970 and as CEO from February 1968. Van Aardenne became a Member of the House of Representatives on 18 February 1971 serving until 10 May 1971 and shortly after the election of 1971 returned to the House of Representatives on 3 August 1971 and served as a frontbencher chairing the House Committee for Patent Act Reforms and as spokesperson for Social Affairs and Welfare.  After the election of 1977 Van Aardenne was appointed as Minister of Economic Affairs in the Cabinet Van Agt-Wiegel taking office on 19 December 1977. After the election of 1981 Van Aardenne returned to the House of Representatives on 25 August 1981 and served as a frontbencher and spokesperson for Finance. After the election of 1982 Van Aardenne was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Affairs in the Cabinet Lubbers I taking office on 4 November 1982. In February 1985 Van Aardenne announced that he wouldn't stand for the election of 1986 following a critical parliamentary inquiry and announced his retirement.
+Van Aardenne semi-retired from active politics at 56 and became active in the private and public sectors as a corporate and non-profit director and served on several state commissions and councils on behalf of the government and as an occasional mediator for cabinet formations, and worked as a trade association executive serving as Chairman of the Hospitals association from May 1987 until June 1995 and a Member of the Social and Economic Council for the Industry and Employers confederation (VNO-NCW) from May 1987 until June 1995. Van Aardenne returned to active in politics and after the Senate election of 1995 was elected as a Member of the Senate on 13 June 1995. In July 1994 Van Aardenne was diagnosed with a progressive form of ALS which resulted in him needing to use a wheelchair by December 1994, due to the progression of his illness he wasn't able to attend Senate meetings after his installation and died just two months later in August 1995 at the age of 65. Van Aardenne was known for his abilities as an effective consensus builder and skillful manager. He holds the distinction as the longest-serving Minister of Economic Affairs after World War II with 7 years, 153 days.
+
+
+== Biography ==
+
+
+=== Early life ===
+Van Aardenne was the son of a surgeon and studied mathematics and physics at Leiden University. After his studies he was employed at a steel factory in Dordrecht, becoming its general manager from 1967 to 1971.
+
+
+=== Politics ===
+He joined the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) in 1958 and was a Member of Parliament between 1971 and 1977, and again in 1981. He became minister of economic affairs in the First Van Agt cabinet (1977–81). Nuclear energy and problems in the shipbuilding industry were prominent issues during these years. He took the same post as well as Deputy Prime Minister in the first First Lubbers cabinet (1982–1986).
+He got into political trouble for downplaying the financial struggles of the Rijn-Schelde-Verolme shipyard, which would collapse in 1983 in spite of many years of large financial support from the government. For this reason he was omitted from the 1986 Lubbers cabinet.
+Van Aardenne remained politically active, amongst others acting in the formation of the first Kok cabinet in 1994 and rejecting the post of minister of finances in that. By then he had been diagnosed with ALS, which resulted in him needing to use a wheel chair. He died from ALS in 1995.

+
+Orna Berry (Hebrew: ארנה ברי; born December 19, 1949), is an Israeli computer scientist, high-tech entrepreneur, and senior executive in the Israeli science and technology industries. In 1996, Berry became the first woman to serve as chief scientist and head of the industrial R&D operation of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labour. She was awarded the "Yekirat Hanegev" award from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in 2012.
+Since 2021 Berry serves as Director of Technology in the office of the CTO at Google Cloud.
+
+== Early life and education ==
+Orna Berry was born in Jerusalem to Raissa and Yoash Tsiddon (Chatto) and was raised and educated in Tel Aviv. In 1967, she drafted into the Israeli Air Force, where she served as an officer for the flying school until 1970, terminating her military service as a lieutenant.
+Berry received a BA from Haifa University in statistics and mathematics in 1975 and an MA in statistics and operations research from Tel Aviv University. She then enrolled at the University of Southern California (USC), where she received a PhD in computer science in 1986. During this time, she obtained a fellowship from the RAND Corporation.
+Berry's academic research illustrated how distributed simulation programs could be accelerated via asynchronous distributed computations and was published in 1986. Berry was diagnosed with dyslexia, something which she says influenced her decision to choose a career in science.
+
+== Career ==
+
+=== Research and development ===
+After graduating, Berry began working at System Development Corporation, later Burroughs and Unisys. It was here that she began her work in Local area networking (LAN). 
+She decided to return to Israel in 1987 to work for the IBM Haifa Research Laboratory where she was involved with hardware simulations on different Intel chip architectures. In 1989, she joined Fibronics and led projects relating to bridging Token Ring and FDDI LANs.
+
+=== Ornet Data Communication Technologies ===
+In 1993, Berry co-founded Ornet Data Communication Technologies, which developed scalable and efficient Ethernet switches.
+While fundraising for Ornet, Berry served as a technical manager of an industrial project at Elbit Systems, and consulted for Intel. In September 1995, Ornet was acquired by Siemens. This was the first acquisition of an Israeli start-up by a European conglomerate.
+
+=== Public service ===
+In late 1996, Berry joined the government. She was officially nominated as the chief scientist and director of the Industrial Research and Development Administration in January 1997. She was the first, and as of 2019, is still the only woman to hold this post.
+While serving in this office, she was the chairperson of the BIRD Foundation which helps foster relationships between US and Israeli companies focused on R&D. She negotiated the Israeli government's participation in the European Fifth Framework Program for R&D, and chaired ISERD, the governmental organization responsible for the country's participation in the program. She also chaired the joint R&D funds with Canada, the UK, South Korea, and Singapore.
+Berry took part in the Brodet Committee (2007) and the Tishler Committee (2012) (2012), which were both founded to examine the Israeli defense budget and its management. Beginning in 2018, she led national science and technology initiatives in the quantum and artificial intelligence domains.
+
+=== Business entrepreneurship ===
+After returning to the private sector, Berry joined Gemini Israel Ventures as a venture partner, a role which she held from 2000 to 2010. As part of this role, she chaired companies including: Lambda Crossing, which manufactured optical components; Riverhead Networks, a DDoS mitigation company which was acquired by Cisco in March 2004; PrimeSense, a sensor and 3D capturing technology company which was acquired by Apple in 2013; and Radware, a communication company. She also served as director of Poalim Capital Markets and publicly traded companies including Aladdin Knowledge Systems, Alvarion, and Commtouch.

+The Man and the Challenge is an American adventure fiction television series about a scientist who tests problems of human survival. It stars George Nader and aired on NBC during the 1959–60 television season.
+
+
+== Synopsis ==
+Dr. Glenn Barton is an athlete, explorer, adventurer, and former United States Marine who has become a physician and a research scientist for the Institute of Human Factors, a U.S. government agency that designs and conducts experiments to study human endurance and its limits. His wide-ranging curiosity and interests suit him well for his assignments, which involve him testing equipment and personnel under conditions of extreme stress in a variety of research areas. He frequently subjects himself to the tests before allowing others to participate. Emergencies often arise which force Barton or his test subjects to go past the limits of previous tests in an attempt to save the situation. Lynn Allen is his assistant.
+
+
+== Cast ==
+George Nader as Dr. Glenn Barton
+Joyce Meadows as Lynn Allen
+
+
+== Production ==
+The Man and the Challenge was an Ivan Tors-Ziv Television Programs production, and Ivan Tors produced the series. Episodes were filmed at Ziv Studios in Hollywood. Each episode tells its story in a semi-documentary format. Alternate sponsors were Winston cigarettes and the Chemstrand Corporation.
+Episodes were filmed on location rather than in a studio. Experts from government agencies coached the actors about activities with regard to specific subjects.
+
+

+Who? is a 1958 science fiction novel by American writer Algis Budrys, set during the Cold War. It was originally a short story, inspired, as its author claimed, by a Kelly Freas painting he had seen in the offices of the magazine Fantastic Universe, and published in that magazine in April 1955.
+The novel was adapted into a 1974 film of the same name, starring Elliott Gould.
+
+
+== Plot ==
+The book assumes that the Cold War will culminate in the East and West bloc uniting  into two super-states, all smaller allies or satellites of the United States and Soviet Union being annexed and losing their individual identity. This development, which did not happen in actual history, has various implications for the book's plot.
+During the Cold War period, an explosion from an experiment in an Allied research facility near the border with the Soviet Bloc, allows a Soviet team, under the pretense of offering help,  to abduct Lucas Martino, a leading Allied physicist in charge of a secret, high-priority project called K-88.
+Several months later, under American pressure, the Soviet officials finally hand over an individual. The Soviets state and the individual claims that he is Martino. The man has undergone extensive surgery for his injuries. He has a mechanical arm that is more advanced than any produced in the West. His head is now a featureless metal skull, through craniofacial prosthesis. The Allies' medical evaluation reveals that several of the man's internal organs are also artificial. His biological arm and its hand's fingerprints are identified as Martino's, though this may be the result of an arm and hand transplant. The Allies cannot be certain whether the Soviets have sent them Martino or a technologically altered spy while holding the real Martino for interrogation on his scientific knowledge.
+Allied counterintelligence agent Shawn Rogers is tasked to verify the person's true identity but he's unable to reach a satisfactory conclusion. The man is released, but kept under surveillance and barred from working on physics projects.
+In flashbacks, we learn Lucas Martino's story. Young Martino grows up in an Italian American New Jersey farm community, with English as his second language, then works his way through the City College of New York, and graduate studies at MIT. He meets a girl, Barbara, older than him and more experienced, in his uncle's coffee shop where he starts working. Barbara takes a liking to him but nothing happens. Lucas meets young Edith Chester, an art student, and they start a tentative friendship, both romantically attracted to each other though awkward at it. Eventually, Martino moves to Boston for his studies and he loses touch with Edith. In MIT, he rooms with a bright and friendly student, Francis Heywood.
+In the present, Martino, shadowed by Allied intelligence, tracks down Edith. She's a widow raising a child. They meet and she declares she loved him then and still loves him now. Martino hesitates. Edith's child wakes up and is scared by Martino's appearance. He runs away, with Edith comforting her daughter, telling her that that man is no longer important.
+In another flashback,  we learn that the Soviets had planned to send a spy back to the Allies: Martino's former MIT room mate Heywood, who has undergone a surgery like Martino's to hide his true identity. Heywood would survive an airplane accident and be presented to the Allies as a rescued and reconstructed Martino, but the plane, due to a random event, crashes away from the pre-determined rescue point and the Soviet plan is foiled. The Soviet intelligence officer, Anastas Azarin, who had interrogated the captive Martino through physical torture, without breaking him, can only send Martino back to the Allies.
+Years later, the K-88 project cannot progress and the Allied authorities decide to risk seeking the alleged Martino's assistance, although the identity issue is still unresolved. Rogers is sent to ask the man to come back to work, and finds him residing in the old New Jersey farm, working tirelessly to keep it running, fighting against "every day's decay," as he tells Rogers. The man refuses to come back to work on the project, exclaiming that he is no longer a physicist but a farmer. Rogers acknowledges his people will continue to monitor the man's whereabouts until his end. Rogers wonders aloud whether the man is actually Martino, and the man responds "in a deep voice, as if he remembered something difficult and worthy of pride he's done when young."
