Nonograms known as Picross or Griddlers, are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid must be colored or left blank according to numbers at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers are a form of discrete tomography that measures how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of "4 8 3" would mean there are sets of four and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive sets; these puzzles are black and white—describing a binary image—but they can be colored. If colored, the number clues are colored to indicate the color of the squares. Two differently colored numbers may not have a space in between them. For example, a black four followed by a red two could mean four black boxes, some empty spaces, two red boxes, or it could mean four black boxes followed by two red ones. Nonograms have no theoretical limits on size, are not restricted to square layouts.

Nonograms are known by many other names, including Paint by Numbers, Pic-a-Pix, Picma, PrismaPixels, Pixel Puzzles, Edel, FigurePic, HeroGlyphix, Illust-Logic, Japanese Crosswords, Japanese Puzzles, Kare Karala!, Logic Art, Logic Square, Logik-Puzzles, Oekaki Logic, Oekaki-Mate, Paint Logic, Picture Logic, Paint by Sudoku and Binary Coloring Books. In 1987, Non Ishida, a Japanese graphics editor, won a competition in Tokyo by designing grid pictures using skyscraper lights that were turned on or off. Coincidentally, a professional Japanese puzzler named. Paint by numbers puzzles started appearing in Japanese puzzle magazines. Non Ishida published three picture grid puzzles in 1988 in Japan under the name of "Window Art Puzzles". Subsequently, in 1990, James Dalgety in the UK invented the name Nonograms after Non Ishida, The Sunday Telegraph started publishing them on a weekly basis. By 1993, the first book of nonograms was published by Non Ishida in Japan; the Sunday Telegraph published a dedicated puzzle book titled the "Book of Nonograms".

Nonograms were published in Sweden, United States, South Africa and other countries. The Sunday Telegraph ran a competition in 1998 to choose a new name for their puzzles. Griddlers was the winning name. Paint by numbers puzzles were implemented by 1995 on hand held electronic toys such as Game Boy and on other plastic puzzle toys. Nintendo picked up on this puzzle fad and released two "Picross" titles for the Game Boy and nine for the Super Famicom in Japan. Only one of these, Mario's Picross for the Game Boy, was released outside Japan. Since one of the most prolific Picross game developers has been Jupiter Corporation, who released Picross DS on the Nintendo DS in 2007, 8 titles in the Picross e series for the Nintendo 3DS eShop, 3 titles in the Picross S series for the Nintendo Switch. Increased popularity in Japan launched new publishers and by now there were several monthly magazines, some of which contained up to 100 puzzles; the Japanese arcade game Logic Pro was released by Deniam Corp in 1996, with a sequel released the following year.

UK games developer Jagex released a nonogram puzzle in 2011 as part of their annual Halloween event for their java based game, Runescape. In 2013, Casual Labs released a mobile version of these puzzles called "Paint it Back" with the theme of restoring an art gallery. Released early in 2017, Pictopix has been presented as a worthy heir to Picross on PC by Rock, Shotgun. In particular, the game enables players to share their creations. Paint by numbers have been published by Sanoma Uitgevers in the Netherlands, Puzzler Media in the UK and Nikui Rosh Puzzles in Israel. Magazines with nonogram puzzles are published in the US, UK, Netherlands, Hungary, Finland and many other countries. To solve a puzzle, one needs to determine which will be empty. Solvers use a dot or a cross to mark cells they are certain are spaces. Cells that can be determined by logic should be filled. If guessing is used, a single error can spread over the entire field and ruin the solution. An error sometimes comes to the surface only after a while, when it is difficult to correct the puzzle.

The hidden picture plays little or no part in the solving process. The picture may help eliminate an error. Simpler puzzles can be solved by a reasoning on a single row only at each given time, to determine as many boxes and spaces on that row as possible. Trying another row, until there are no rows that contain undetermined cells. More difficult puzzles may require several types of "what if?" Reasoning that include more than one row. This works on searching for contradictions: When a cell cannot be a box, because some other cell would produce an error, it will be a space, and vice versa. Advanced solvers are sometimes able to search deeper than into the first "what if?" reasoning. At the beginning of the solution, a simple method can be used to determine as many boxes as possible; this method uses conjunctions of possible places for each block of boxes. For example, in a row of ten cells with only one clue of 8, the bound block consisting of 8 boxes could spread from the right border, leaving two spaces to the left.

His father was an educator, superintendent of schools and founder of Fairbury Community College, now Southeast Community College, he married Betty Rose Foust on September 13, 1947. They had three children. Scott graduated from Fairbury High School and earned his undergraduate degree at Colorado State College of Education now University of Northern Colorado where he majored in English.

He earned his master's degree in Speech at the University of Nebraska and Ph. D. in Speech at the University of Illinois.

Scott published influential work on rhetorical theory and criticism, his most famous article, “On Viewing Rhetoric As Epistemic,” became one of the most important academic articles written in rhetorical studies in the past century. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Sophists and Stephen Toulmin, others, Scott argued that the traditional understanding of rhetoric as an art for making the Truth effective was inadequate. If we acknowledge that truth is probable and contingent it follows that rhetoric is a central art for finding our way. Scott argued that we should “consider truth not as something fixed and final but as something to be created moment by moment” in the circumstances in which we find ourselves and with which we must cope. Humans may plot our course by fixed stars but we do not possess those stars.

Furthermore, humanity has learned. In human affairs “rhetoric is a way of knowing. In 1978, Michael Leff noted that “rhetoric is epistemic” marked the dominant trend in contemporary rhetorical theorizing. James A.

The tornado outbreak of May 15–17, 2013 was a small but intense and deadly tornado outbreak that produced several damaging tornadoes in northern Texas, south-central Oklahoma, northern Louisiana, northern Alabama. In mid-May 2013, an upper-level shortwave trough tracked across the Southern Plains of the United States. An associated low-pressure area and atmospheric instability resulted in the formation of tornadoes across northern Texas and Oklahoma on May 15. Afterwards the storm system weakened as it tracked westward, though six additional tornadoes were reported in Texas and Alabama in the two days following May 15. Over a period of nearly two days, the storm system produced 26 tornadoes in four states; the strongest of these was an EF4 tornado which struck Hood County, Texas on May 15. However, on May 16 and May 17 no tornadoes were confirmed to have been stronger than EF1 intensity. In addition to tornadoes, large hail was reported, peaking at 4 in in diameter near Mineral Wells, Texas on May 15.

The EF4 tornado in Hood County, accounted for all six deaths caused by the severe storms, making it the first deadly tornado event in Texas since the 2007 Piedras Negras-Eagle Pass tornadoes. An additional 63 people were injured. A second tornado, rated EF3, was damaging and impacted areas southwest of Cleburne, injuring seven. Damage across the four states due to the storm system reached $272 million in damage; the outbreak was caused by an upper-level shortwave trough that moved northeastward from Mexico into the Southern Plains states during the nighttime the morning of May 15. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, a division of the National Weather Service issued a slight risk of severe thunderstorms early that morning over northwestern Texas, for a threat of large hail and damaging winds. A low-pressure area associated with the trough moved over Oklahoma that day, producing light to moderate rainfall and non-severe thunderstorms across that state into parts of North Texas. Forecasts expanded the slight risk further into northern and central Texas, into far southern Oklahoma, indicated an enhanced risk of a few isolated tornadoes in north Texas.

The atmosphere began to destabilize due to a decrease in cloud cover over central Texas. The SPC issued a severe thunderstorm watch from southern Oklahoma to central Texas that afternoon around 3:00 p.m. CDT. Supercells broke out in parts of northwestern Texas during the late afternoon hours, one of which developed the first tornado of the day at 5:38 p.m. near Belcherville in Montague County. A second tornado spawned by the same storm, rated as an EF1, touched down near Lake Amon G. Carter, damaging four homes and destroying one; as forecasters realized that conditions now favored tornadic activity, the SPC issued a tornado watch from far southern Oklahoma into central Texas at 6 p.m. CDT, replacing parts of the original severe thunderstorm watch. At 7:13 p.m. CDT, storm spotters reported a large tornado on the ground near Millsap in Parker County, which caused roof damage to several homes in the town; this tornado remained on the ground as another tornado began to intensify near Mile Marker 409 on Interstate 20 southeast of Weatherford, Texas at 7:19 p.m. NWS doppler radar detected both tornadoes, indicating the storm was a cyclical supercell, before the Millsap tornado dissipated.

An EF4 tornado hit the town of Granbury, Texas in Hood County around 8 p.m. CDT, damaging or destroying around 100 homes and killing at least six people, with the most severe damage occurring in the Rancho Brazos neighborhood; the supercell that produced the Granbury tornado spawned an EF3 tornado that hit the Fort Worth suburb of Cleburne in Johnson County around 9:30 p.m. CDT, producing its most significant damage just east of Lake Pat Cleburne; the last twister of the outbreak touched down at 12:19 a.m. producing EF1 damage in the Ellis County town of Ennis, south-southeast of Dallas. In total, the system produced at least 16 tornadoes that afternoon and evening across north and central Texas, from Montague to Coryell counties; the system continued to spin up tornadoes on May 16 and 17, though not of the same severity as the storms that occurred on the 15th, each causing only minor to moderate damage of EF0 and EF1 intensity. Four additional tornadoes occurred near the Shreveport metropolitan area on May 16, two of which touched down near Waskom and two in Caddo Parish near the towns of Greenwood and Stonewall, Louisiana.

Two short-lived tornadoes touched down in Limestone County, Alabama on May 17, causing scattered damage to trees, roofs and a barn.

The Siddeley Puma was a British aero engine developed towards the end of World War I and produced by Siddeley-Deasy. The first engines left the production lines of Siddeley-Deasy in Coventry in August 1917, production continued until December 1918. At least 4,288 of the 11,500 ordered engines were delivered, orders were cancelled following the Armistice. Production was continued under the name Armstrong Siddeley Puma when the manufacturer was bought by Armstrong Whitworth and became Armstrong Siddeley; the engine was based on a previous B. H. P engine, developed as the Galloway "Adriatic." The Puma engine was used in the British World War I bomber aircraft, the Airco D. H.9. In use it proved to be troublesome, making the aircraft inferior to the type it replaced; the engine was installed untidily, with the cylinder heads protruding. The D. H.9, as a type, was improved by replacing the Puma engine with the Liberty 12 to make the D. H.9A. The unit was used in the first prototype of the Airco DH.10 in a twin-engined pusher configuration but as performance was unsatisfactory, alternative engines were used in a subsequent prototype of the type and production models.
