History

Pre-debut

Thai member Sorn won the first season of K-Pop Star Hunt in 2011, after which she subsequently became a trainee under Cube Entertainment.Yoseob, a member of Beast, another group under Cube Entertainment, Seungyeon, and Seunghee released a collaborative track called "Perfume" for the first part of the Cube Voice Project. Seungyeon and Seunghee are credited as "Cube Girls" for the track. Seunghee also sang the soundtrack song "Curious" for the drama Plus Nine Boys. The song featured BTOB's Sungjae. She also briefly appeared in BTOB's "Second Confession", "The Winter's Tale" music videos.

The group started gaining attention in 2014 for their non-profit street performances to help children with disabilities. The group participated in G.NA's "Secret" music video and acted as backdancers in the stage performances of that song. The group also appeared in BTOB's "Beep Beep" music video.

Crystal Clear (EP)

Crystal Clear marks the second EP from David Dunn. BEC Recordings released the project on July 15, 2014.

Reception

Signaling in a four and a half star review by CCM Magazine, Matt Conner recognizes, "Crystal Clear, resonates with Dunn’s strong message and killer vocals." Shaving a half star off her rating compared to the aforementioned, Jesus Freak Hideout's Courtney Warner, realizes, "Dunn provides a pleasant listening experience, even though it's got a familiar feel." Jonathan Francesco, indicating in a four star review for New Release Tuesday, replies, "David Dunn clearly threw all he had into this release and the potential shows."

Worldwide LHC Computing Grid

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG), formerly (until 2006) the LHC Computing Grid (LCG), is an international collaborative project that consists of a grid-based computer network infrastructure incorporating over 170 computing centers in 36 countries, as of 2012. It was designed by CERN to handle the prodigious volume of data produced by Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments.

By 2012, data from over 300 trillion (3×10¹⁴) LHC proton-proton collisions had been analyzed, and LHC collision data was being produced at approximately 25 petabytes per year. As of 2012, The LHC Computing Grid had become the world's largest computing grid comprising over 170 computing facilities in a worldwide network across 36 countries.

Background

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN was designed to prove or disprove the existence of the Higgs boson, an important but elusive piece of knowledge that had been sought by particle physicists for over 40 years. A very powerful particle accelerator was needed, because Higgs bosons might not be seen in lower energy experiments, and because vast numbers of collisions would need to be studied. Such a collider would also produce unprecedented quantities of collision data requiring analysis. Therefore, advanced computing facilities were needed to process the data.
