Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events.[1] A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") is predictable. For example, when throwing two dice, the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4. In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy.

The fields of mathematics, probability, and statistics use formal definitions of randomness. In statistics, a random variable is an assignment of a numerical value to each possible outcome of an event space. This association facilitates the identification and the calculation of probabilities of the events. Random variables can appear in random sequences. A random process is a sequence of random variables whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions. These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory and the various applications of randomness.

Randomness is most often used in statistics to signify well-defined statistical properties. Monte Carlo methods, which rely on random input (such as from random number generators or pseudorandom number generators), are important techniques in science, as, for instance, in computational science.[2] By analogy, quasi-Monte Carlo methods use quasirandom number generators.

Random selection is a method of selecting items (often called units) from a population where the probability of choosing a specific item is the proportion of those items in the population. For example, with a bowl containing just 10 red marbles and 90 blue marbles, a random selection mechanism would choose a red marble with probability 1/10. Note that a random selection mechanism that selected 10 marbles from this bowl would not necessarily result in 1 red and 9 blue. In situations where a population consists of items that are distinguishable, a random selection mechanism requires equal probabilities for any item to be chosen. That is, if the selection process is such that each member of a population, of say research subjects, has the same probability of being chosen then we can say the selection process is random.

Licensing Act 1737
For the Act concerning the licensing of premises to sell alcohol, see Licensing Act 2003.
The Licensing Act of 1737 was a pivotal moment in theatrical history. Its purpose was to control and censor what was being said about the British government through theatre. The act was modified by the Theatres Act 1843 and was finally repealed by the Theatres Act 1968.

Contents
Purpose of the Act

The British parliament, as well as the king, felt that the act was necessary. At the time, theatre was open source in terms of content, although there were laws that weren't strictly enforced.[1] People had free reign to say anything they wanted through theatre, and in this case, that included all their troubles with the government.[2] The free speech of theatre posed a threat to the government, as this opened doors for revolutionist to spread their beliefs and opinions to the masses without concern of the government intervening.[3] This concerned politicians since with no censorship the people could ridicule and plot against their own government without recourse.

While the government was concerned, there was no legitimate need for a censoring act at the time prior to 1737. So during a 4 year period between 1733 and 1737, the government had to wait until there was a need for the act to be created.

Through this act the government was able to control and censor theatre with much more force than any single law that existed beforehand.[4] Previous laws, though official, were not strictly enforced.[1]

Master of the Revels
The function of censorship of plays for performance (at least in London) fell to the Master of the Revels by the time of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The power was used mostly with respect to matters of politics and religion (including blasphemy). It was certainly exercised by Edmund Tylney, who was Master from 1579 to 1610. Tylney and his successor, George Buck, also exercised the power to censor plays for publication.[5][6] The Master of the Revels, who normally reported to the Lord Chamberlain, continued to perform the function until, with the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642, stage plays were prohibited.[7] Stage plays did not return to England until the Restoration in 1660.[8] During the creation of the Licensing of 1737, Robert Walpole was the standing Master of the Revels[9]

In flagrante delicto
In flagrante delicto (Latin: "in blazing offence") or sometimes simply in flagrante (Latin: "in blazing") is a legal term used to indicate that a criminal has been caught in the act of committing an offence (compare corpus delicti). The colloquial "caught in the act" or "caught red-handed" are English equivalents.[1][2]

The phrase combines the present active participle flagrāns (flaming or blazing) with the noun dēlictum (offence, misdeed, or crime). In this term the Latin preposition in, not indicating motion, takes the ablative. The closest literal translation would be "in blazing offence", where "blazing" is a metaphor for vigorous, highly visible action.

Aside from the legal meaning, the Latin term is often used colloquially as a euphemism for someone's being caught in the midst of sexual activity.[3][4]

Kalmartrissan
Kalmartrissan is a brand of yo-yo which has been manufactured since 1932.[1][2][3] The company that makes it, Elfverson & Co., is located in Påryd, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Kalmar in Småland, Sweden. In the early 1930s, Gösta Elfverson saw a yo-yo during a trip to England, and brought the idea with him to Sweden, where the manager of Elfverson's factory developed a unique construction: the Kalmartrissan is made in wood and in a single piece, rather than two pieces that have been glued together.[4][1]

The toy is manufactured from beech wood, and bears a logo depicting the Castle of Kalmar, one of the best kept renaissance castles in Europe.[1] "Trissa" is a Swedish word meaning pulley, which is sometimes used informally for other round objects, including yo-yos.

Between 150,000 and a million yo-yos of the Kalmartrissan brand are manufactured every year in Sweden.[4]
