Lionel Abrahams was a South African novelist, editor, critic and publisher. He was born in Johannesburg, he had to use a wheelchair until 11 years of age. Best known for his poetry, he was mentored by Herman Charles Bosman, he and edited seven volumes of Bosman's posthumously published works. Abrahams went on to become one of the most influential figures in South African literature in his own right, publishing numerous poems and two novels. Through Renoster Books, which he started in 1956, he published works by Oswald Mtshali and Mongane Wally Serote heralding the emergence of black poetry during the apartheid era. In 1986, he married Jane Fox; that year, he was awarded honorary doctorates of literature by the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Natal.

Nico was a western lowland gorilla who lived in captivity at Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire, UK. At the time of his death, at 56 years old, he was the oldest Western lowland gorilla in Europe and was thought to be the second oldest gorilla in the world. Nico's habitat on Half Mile Lake at Longleat covered over half an acre and included lookout stations, tree trunk climbing frames and tyre and net swings. Nico and his partner Samba came from a zoo in Switzerland in the 1980s, were given a television to watch during their six-month quarantine period. Longleat Safari announced Nico's death on 8 January 2018 in an official statement on their social media channels "It is with deep regret and huge sadness that we have to announce the death of Nico, our much-loved western lowland gorilla. Nico, one of the oldest silverback gorillas in the world, passed away in his sleep on 7 January 2018. Everyone here has been saddened by the death of Nico, his main keeper has been working with Nico on a daily basis since 1989 and has forged an extraordinarily close bond with him.

It goes without saying that he is devastated by the loss along with the rest of his keeping team who have cared for Nico over the years."

The Flajolet–Martin algorithm is an algorithm for approximating the number of distinct elements in a stream with a single pass and space-consumption logarithmic in the maximal number of possible distinct elements in the stream. The algorithm was introduced by Philippe Flajolet and G. Nigel Martin in their 1984 article "Probabilistic Counting Algorithms for Data Base Applications", it has been refined in "LogLog counting of large cardinalities" by Marianne Durand and Philippe Flajolet, "HyperLogLog: The analysis of a near-optimal cardinality estimation algorithm" by Philippe Flajolet et al. In their 2010 article "An optimal algorithm for the distinct elements problem", Daniel M. Kane, Jelani Nelson and David P. Woodruff give an improved algorithm, which uses nearly optimal space and has optimal O update and reporting times. Assume that we are given a hash function h a s h that maps input x to integers in the range, where the outputs are sufficiently uniformly distributed. Note that the set of integers from 0 to 2 L − 1 corresponds to the set of binary strings of length L.

For any non-negative integer y, define b i t to be the k -th bit in the binary representation of y, such that: y = ∑ k ≥ 0 b i t 2 k. We define a function ρ that outputs the position of the least-significant set bit in the binary representation of y: ρ = min where ρ = L. Note that with the above definition we are using 0-indexing for the positions. For example, ρ = ρ = 0, since the least significant bit is a 1, ρ = ρ = 3, since the least significant bit is at the 3rd position. At this point, note that under the assumption that the output of our hash function is uniformly distributed the probability of observing a hash output ending with 2 k is 2 −, since this corresponds to flipping k heads and a tail with a fair coin. Now the Flajolet–Martin algorithm for estimating the cardinality of a multiset M is as follows: Initialize a bit-vector BITMAP to be of length L and contain all 0s. For each element x in M: Calculate the index i = ρ. Set B I T M A P = 1. Let R denote the smallest index i such that B I T M A P = 0.

Estimate the cardinality of M as 2 R / ϕ, where ϕ ≈ 0.77351. The idea is that if n is the number of distinct elements in the multiset M B I T M A P is accessed n / 2 times, B I T M A P is accessed n / 4 times and so on. If i ≫ log 2 ⁡ n B I T M A P is certainl
