# Asparagus densiflorus

Asparagus densiflorus (among several species colloquially called asparagus ferns; no relation to actual ferns), or the foxtail fern (asparagus) or plume fern, is a variable, evergreen-perennial plant related to cultivated, edible asparagus.
It is native to southern Africa, from Mozambique to South Africa, but is widely cultivated.

## Related species

Foxtail asparagus is part of a group of similar-looking and related Asparagus species native to Africa, including Asparagus aethiopicus ("Sprenger's asparagus"), A. confertus and A. krebsianus.
A. densiflorus has been occasionally confused with A. aethiopicus—a different, spikier, more rambling and pendant species—thus some sources provide incorrect information in reference to A. densiflorus. The plant formerly often grown as A. densiflorus var. 'Sprengeri' is, simply, A. densiflorus. Furthermore, the species known as A. densiflorus var. 'Meyersii' remains A. densiflorus, as well.
As a whole, the Asparagus genera is part of a larger botanical order, the Asparagales, which groups together other related plant families such as the agaves, cordylines, dracaenas, orchids, ponytail palms, snake and spider plants, and yuccas (Joshua trees).

## Distribution

Asparagus densiflorus is native to the Cape Provinces, KwaZulu-Natal and the Northern Provinces in South Africa, Eswatini (Swaziland) and the Inhaca Islands of Mozambique.

## Cultivation

As it cannot tolerate frost, in temperate regions A.densiflorus is usually grown under glass. Numerous cultivars have been developed, of which the compact form 'Meyersii' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Its dense 50 cm (20 in) plumes of foliage are especially valued in flower arranging.

# Data Smog

Data Smog is a 1997 book by journalist David Shenk and published by HarperCollins. It addresses the author's ideas on how the information technology revolution would shape the world, and how the large amount of data available on the Internet would make it more difficult to sift through and separate fact from fiction.

## Argument of the book

According to Data Smog, with the advance of technology, we have been able to progress in terms of society, economy, and even health. Communication is instantaneous, knowledge is abundant, and as humans we try to keep up with this expansion of data that continues to accumulate from around the world.
However, it is the overwhelming amount of information that is defined as data smog; "this unexpected, unwelcome part of our atmosphere, an expression for the noxious muck and druck of the Information age." The wealth of information is harming some because of sheer amount of it and rate of production: "The sheer volume of information which many of us are exposed to every day may actually impair our performance and add stress to our lives." In fact, according to statistics provided by Shenk, "In 1971 the average American was targeted by at least 560 daily advertising messages. Twenty years later, that number has risen six fold, to 3,000 messages per day."
It is argued that "Just as fat has replaced starvation as this nation’s number one dietary concern, information overload has replaced information scarcity as an important new emotional, social, and political problem." As per David Lewis, PhD in psychology, this attempt at consuming the majority of data, the result is what he calls "information fatigue syndrome." This term refers to the data smog that we encounter daily that ultimately interferes with our sleep, concentration, and even affecting our immune systems.
According to clinical psychologist Michelle Weil "the problems stem from people’s overuse or misuse of technologies and from technology’s ineffective presentation of information, researchers are finding."

## Neologism

In 2004, Shenk's original term "data smog" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary

# Janie McCarthy

Janie McCarthy (1885 – 20 December 1964) was an Irish resistance worker during World War II in Paris, and language teacher.

## Early life and education

Janie (sometimes recorded as Jane) McCarthy was born in Bohereengowan, Main Street, Killarney, County Kerry. She was fourth of the eight children (six girls and two boys) of shopkeeper Michael McCarthy, and Margaret (nee Kelleher). She was most likely educated locally, emigrating to France in 1910. Initially, she lived in Brittany working as an au pair, before moving to Paris. She attended the Sorbonne, studying French and English. McCarthy started a language school which developed a huge reputation with the children of royalty and European aristocracy attending. For her work in teaching during World War I, she was awarded the Ordre des Palmes académiques in 1918, which was rarely awarded to foreigners.

## Work in the French Resistance

At the outbreak of World War II, McCarthy destroyed her British passport to avoid the possibility of being imprisoned by German authorities. She joined the resistance and other related groups when France fell, she even started her own initiative in the Paris area. Her area of specialisation was in rescue work, saving a number of lives including members of the allied intelligence services and armies. Her method was simple, enrolling each refugee as a member of staff. Her riskiest gambit was bringing an American officer through a Gestapo inspection in the Paris metro, convincing the officers that he was as a deaf mute because he could not speak French. From 1940 to 1944, she only lost one refugee, a French double agent. She was also involved in intelligence gathering. While many of her counterparts were sent to concentration camps, McCarthy evaded detection for the entirety of the war. Her home at 64, rue Sainte-Anne acted as a safe house. Within the Service historique de la Défense, McCarthy was recorded as a man. She donated a large portion of her salary to fund a civilian camp at Saint Denis, the Military Hospital Val de Grace and the sanatorium at Brevannes.
For her work she was awarded the French Croix de Guerre and Médaille de la Résistance, the American medal of freedom and a citation signed by President Eisenhower, and the British Tedder certificate for aiding British personnel to escape.

## Later life and death

McCarthy continued to teach her pupils after the war, bringing students to Kerry on summer trips. She even conducted language classes at her bedside in June 1964, as her health was failing. She was brought to the Hertfordshire British Hospital, Paris in November 1964, dying there on 20 December 1964. She was buried in Paris on 28 December. Her death was not noted in the Irish national newspapers, bar the Irish Times.
# Joan of Navarre (nun)

Joan of Navarre (Basque: Joana, Spanish: Juana, French: Jeanne; c. 1326 – 3 July 1387) was a princess from the French House of Évreux, the eldest child of King Philip III and Queen Joan II of Navarre.

## Biography

Joan was born while her parents were still only count and countess of Évreux in northern France. As their firstborn child, Joan became heir presumptive to the Kingdom of Navarre upon her parents' accession in 1328, which made her a desirable bride. In 1329 the royal couple began negotiations with King Alfonso IV of Aragon about Joan's marriage to Alfonso's eldest son, the future Peter IV. The choice illustrated her parents' decision to build closer relations with their Iberian neighbours, but may have also been intended to prevent Peter from marrying a princess of England, France's traditional enemy. The negotiations took years due to Joan's status as heir presumptive. By that time, however, she was displaced in the line of succession by two brothers, Louis and Charles, born in 1330 and 1332 respectively. The possibility that she might inherit the crown one day was nevertheless taken into account when the betrothal was finally agreed in April 1333.
Joan's intended marriage never took place. She might have had an illness or a defect that made her younger sister Maria a bride more appealing to Peter IV. In order to make this union possible, Joan had to renounce her succession rights in favour of Maria and move to the Franciscan Abbey of Longchamp. As compensation, she received an annual rent of 1000 livres tournois from her father's lordship of Mantes. Joan was veiled a Poor Clare on the day of "translation Saint Francis" in 1337, and Maria's marriage to Peter took place the following year. This unusual outcome confused later historians and chroniclers, leading often to confusing Joan with her youngest sister, born in c. 1343 and also named Joan. Her brother Charles II of Navarre assigned her an additional income of 100 livres tournois in 1349. Joan died in the nunnery on 3 July 1387.

# Beltrame

Beltrame (in Milanese: baltramm) is a traditional character of the commedia dell'arte associated to the city of Milan, and dating back to the 16th–17th century or earlier. It is also often referenced by the full name Beltrame di Milano and also as Beltrame di Gaggiano (from the borgo – now a comune – of Gaggiano, in the surroundings of Milan) or Beltrame de la Gippa (where the "gippa" is the large blouse, or tunic, worn by the character).
The creation of Beltrame character is sometimes credited to Niccolò Barbieri. In any case, Barbieri largely contributed to the popularity of the character with plays such as L'inavvertito. Barbieri was an actor as well as a comedian, and assumed the role and stage name of Beltrame himself. His character is usually a crafty, astute villager and husband and blunderer, always trying to appear of higher rank than he really is;. He took on several different roles, including that of the merchant and of Colombina's father trying to force his daughter into a marriage of convenience (a part he shares with Tabarino). He often reaches his goals in virtue of his lack of scruples, astute rhetoric, and mock good manners. His costume, resembling that of a 16th-century servant, included a large tunic, a purse, and a dagger.
Beltrame has long been the main representative of Milan in the commedia, although this role was later taken on by Meneghino. It is also often described as a variation of character Brighella (associated to the city of Bergamo, and sometimes also to Milan), or even as Brighella's brother.
Beltrame has inspired Molière's character Mascarille, from the comedy L'Étourdi ou Les Contretemps (The Blunderer, 1655).

# Whimsy Cards

Whimsy Cards is a 1987 role-playing game supplement published by Lion Rampant.

## Contents

Whimsy Cards is an aid for role-playing games, a set of event cards which players can use to affect the outcome of a game storyline.

## Publication history

Whimsy Cards was written by Jonathan Tweet and Mark Rein-Hagen and published in 1987 by Lion Rampant as 48 flimsy cards and a 4-page rules pamphlet, shrink-wrapped; a second edition published the same year came packed in a bag with stiff cards.
Shannon Appelcline stated that Lion Rampant wanted Ars Magica to be the initial release for the company, "but as Gen Con 20 (1987) approached it became obvious that their premier product would not be ready. Rather than rushing it out (a mistake made all too often by RPG companies), Lion Rampant instead prepared an alternative product for that Gen Con: Whimsy Cards." Appelcline detailed that the storytelling style of design for role-playing games was developing at that time, so for Whimsy Cards, "The idea was simple: print up a deck of 43 cards (plus a few blanks) where each card presented a distinct story element [...] These cards were shuffled and handed out to players at the start of a game; those players would later play a card and describe how it applied to the story. If the gamemaster liked the results, he incorporated the description into the story, otherwise he vetoed it."$^{:305}$

## Reception

Stewart Wieck reviewed the product in the December 1986 to January 1987 issue of White Wolf. He provided a positive review, stating they are "wonderful role-playing devices".

# Shardmap

Shardmap is a directory index design by Daniel Phillips who created the HTree and PHTree tree data structures and the Tux3 file system.
A Shardmap index consists of a scalable number of index shards. Each shard entry maps a hash key to the logical block number of a directory entry block known to contain a name that hashes to that key.
Each shard is represented as an unsorted fifo on disk and a small hash table in memory.
Shardmap scales in two ways:
* Rehash a cached shard to a larger number of hash buckets
* Reshard a stored shard fifo to divide it into multiple, smaller shards.
These operations are staggered to avoid latency spikes. The reshard operation imposes a modest degree of write multiplication on the Shardmap design, asymptotically approaching a factor of two.
The key ideas of Shardmap are:
* The representation of directory data is not the same on media as it is in cache. On media we have fifos, but in cache we have hash tables.
* Updating a fifo is cache efficient. Only the tail block of the fifo needs to be present in cache. The cache footprint of the media image of a shardmap is therefore just one disk block per shard.
* A small fifo on media is easily loaded and converted to an efficient hash table shard on demand. Once in cache, index updates are performed by updating the cached hash table and appending the same entries to the final block of the shard fifo.
The shardmap implementation in the Tux3 file system uses SipHash hash function designed by Jean-Philippe Aumasson and Daniel J. Bernstein.
