Cambridge Analytica (CA) is a privately held company that combines data mining and data analysis with strategic communication for the electoral process. It was created in 2013 as an offshoot of its British parent company SCL Group to participate in American politics.[2] In 2014, CA was involved in 44 U.S. political races.[3] The company is partly owned by the family of Robert Mercer, an American hedge-fund manager who supports many politically conservative causes.[2][4] The firm maintains offices in New York City, Washington, D.C., and London.[5] In 2015 it became known as the data analysis company working initially for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign.[4] In 2016, after Cruz's campaign had faltered, CA worked for Donald Trump's presidential campaign,[6] and on the Leave.EU-campaign for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. CA's role and impact on those campaigns has been disputed and is the subject of ongoing criminal investigations in both countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica

An idea for the LazyWeb: Web Browser-s should support an implicit page 'a name' feature. In other words, when the browser is getting http://webseitz.fluxent.com/wiki/WikiForCollaborationWare#summarizing, it first looks for an explicit 'a name="summarizing"' tag, but once it fails to find that it basically just does a 'Find' for the first occurrence of the string 'summarizing'. A small complication: use '%20' for string of words? (more)
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is a federally owned corporation in the United States created by congressional charter on May 18, 1933, to provide navigation, flood control, electricity generation, fertilizer manufacturing, and economic development to the Tennessee Valley, a region particularly affected by the Great Depression... When Democrats after 1945 proclaimed the Tennessee Valley Authority as a model for countries in the developing world to follow (Economic Development), conservative critics charged it was a top-heavy, centralized, technocratic venture that displaced locals and did so in insensitive ways. Thus, when the program was used as the basis for modernization programs in various parts of the third world during the Cold War, such as in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, its failure brought a backlash of cynicism toward modernization programs that has persisted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Valley_Authority
