1. generate u_1, u_2, u_3~U(0,1); X = -ln(u_1) 2. if u_2 <= exp(-(x-1)^2/2), set Z = X otherwise go back to 1 3. set Z = Z if u_3 <= 0.5 otherwise Z = -Z this should give you approx. std normal

We need to heed this advice as Batswana. Let’s take stock of our actions in the littering we’re doing to our country and environment…

Limiting data protection roles to legal folks alone is like locking the front door… and leaving the server room open. I have been observing the hiring of the DPO's across many org's & most of them are legal people. We need techies, risk pros & policy minds at the table too.

You have probably seen the famous bell curve hundreds of times before. It is often referred to as some sort of “probability”. Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT a probability, but a probability density. What are densities and why do we need them?

English town names tell a lot of history. Anything ending in -caster, -cester or -chester was a Roman fort. -bury and -borough are Saxon forts. If it ends in -by it was settled by vikings (by is still the Swedish and Norwegian word for village.) -ford is a river crossing.
