Insight (Prince Lasha album)
Insight is an album by saxophonist/flautist Prince Lasha which was recorded in England in 1966 and originally released on the CBS label.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Thom Jurek stating: "this is not an exploratory outside date, but a straight-ahead session of originals and standards, divided between uptempo numbers and ballads. ...For all its traditionalism, this is indeed a major date for Lasha and reveals how deeply ensconced he was in the bop and swing lineages".

Insight (Australian TV program)

History
Insight started out as a national domestic current affairs program dealing primarily with Australian issues, while Dateline covered international ones.
It was hosted from 1999 until 2001 by Dr Gael Jennings. After that, Jenny Brockie, coming from the ABC, began to host the programme.
Soon thereafter, the format was transformed to "a discussion forum focusing on a single issue with the participation of a studio audience". In the course of the programme, there are usually live satellite links to various policy makers, such as ministers, and experts from around the globe.

Futures contract
In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a standardized forward contract which can be easily traded between parties other than the two initial parties to the contract. The parties initially agree to buy and sell an asset for a price agreed upon today (the forward price) with delivery and payment occurring at a future point, the delivery date. Because it is a function of an underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative product.
Contracts are negotiated at futures exchanges, which act as a marketplace between buyers and sellers. The buyer of a contract is said to be long position holder, and the selling party is said to be short position holder. As both parties risk their counterparty walking away if the price goes against them, the contract may involve both parties lodging a margin of the value of the contract with a mutually trusted third party. For example, in gold futures trading, the margin varies between 2% and 20% depending on the volatility of the spot market.

Dimension (data warehouse)
A dimension is a structure that categorizes facts and measures in order to enable users to answer business questions. Commonly used dimensions are people, products, place and time.
In a data warehouse, dimensions provide structured labeling information to otherwise unordered numeric measures. The dimension is a data set composed of individual, non-overlapping data elements. The primary functions of dimensions are threefold: to provide filtering, grouping and labelling.
These functions are often described as "slice and dice". Slicing refers to filtering data. Dicing refers to grouping data. A common data warehouse example involves sales as the measure, with customer and product as dimensions. In each sale a customer buys a product. The data can be sliced by removing all customers except for a group under study, and then diced by grouping by product.
A dimensional data element is similar to a categorical variable in statistics.
Typically dimensions in a data warehouse are organized internally into one or more hierarchies. "Date" is a common dimension, with several possible hierarchies:
