Marvin Herman Scilken (December 7, 1926 – February 2, 1999) was an American librarian and a leader in the field of library science during the 20th century. Scilken dedicated his life to bringing awareness to libraries and improving services for patrons. He encouraged libraries to take a more practical approach to librarianship and to consider libraries as a house of books rather than information centers.   In 1999, American Libraries named him one of the "100 Most Important Leaders We Had in the 20th Century".

Early life and career
Marvin Scilken was born and raised in the Bronx, New York.  His parents were Russian immigrants Joseph Scilken and Esther Scilken and he had one sister Marjorie. Scilken attended his local high school, Bronx High School of Science, and then continued his education at the University of Colorado-Boulder where he earned bachelor's degrees in Economics and Philosophy.

When he graduated in 1948, he had not yet considered pursuing a career in library science. It was not until 1960 that library science piqued his interest. Scilken was originally interested in pursuing his Masters in Library Science degree at Columbia University. However, upon applying to Columbia's program, he was asked for an essay on why he was interested in becoming a librarian and, as Scilken said, “I dawdled so much that time ran out and I failed to get in”

On Library Science and Technology
One of Scilken's great concerns was that libraries are forgetting their roots and their identities. It worried him that librarians are changing their identity in order to seem current with technology. He had become concerned that libraries and librarians are too quickly adopting any new fad or technology.  Overall, he was disappointed that libraries are now considering themselves information centers. He encouraged libraries to return to their focus on books and often “[told his] colleagues that [libraries] are in the book business, not the information business.”

The Skogsrå ( ; ), Skogsfrun ('the Mistress of the Forest'), Skogssnuvan, Skogsnymfen ('the Forest Nymph'), Råndan ('the Rå') or Huldran, is a mythical female creature (or rå) of the forest in Swedish folklore.

It appears in the form of a small, beautiful woman with a seemingly friendly temperament. She appears like a woman from the front but seen from behind she often has a tail and a hollow back or skin like tree bark.

Those who are enticed into following her into the forest are never seen again. It was said that any human man who had intercourse with the Skogsrå became an introvert, as his soul had remained with her. If the seduced man is a hunter, he may be rewarded with good luck in the hunt, but should he be unfaithful to the Skogsrå, he will be punished with numerous accidents. He may put an end to a stormy night caused by her vengeance by firing a shot against her. Late folklore in Nyland, Finland describes silver bullets as effective means of killing a skogsrå.

Popular culture

 The character Esmeralda (played by Happy Jankell) in SVT's thriller television series Jordskott is called "what traditionally would be described as a skogsrå". She is shown having a hollowed back and the ability to drive people to suicide.
 In 1877, Swedish poet Viktor Rydberg published a poem titled "Skogsrået."
 Between 1894 and 1895, Finnish composer Jean Sibelius composed a tone poem based on Rydberg's poem, bearing the same title.
 French Nordic folk group Skáld adapted Rydberg's poem for their 2022 single "Då Månen Sken."
 In the game Unforgiving: A Northern Hymn, a skogsrå roams the forest where she bites her victims and turns them into trees, eventually Linn encounters the Forrest spirit and gets bitten, however she manages to be free of the infection with the help of the Näcken.
 In the video game Bramble: The Mountain King, a skogsrå, disguised as a black haired woman, lures many of a village's men into the forest. This leads to a witch hunt executing every woman in the village with dark hair.

Grok is an open-source web framework based on Zope Toolkit (ZTK) technology. The project was started in 2006 by a number of Zope developers. Its core technologies (Martian, grokcore.component) are also used in other Zope-based projects.

The primary motive behind Grok is to make the Zope Toolkit technology more accessible and easier to use for newcomers and, at the same time, speed up application development, in accordance with the agile programming paradigm.
To achieve this, Grok uses convention-over-configuration instead of using an explicit XML based configuration language (ZCML) as Zope Toolkit and BlueBream do. Grok uses Python code for component configuration, and has many implicit defaults and conventions. Grok is similar in feel to other Python Web frameworks such as TurboGears, Pylons and Django.

Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden (born 19 June 1937) is a German conductor, especially a choral conductor, and an academic teacher. He founded and conducted the Tölzer Knabenchor.

Life 
Born in Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia, Schmidt-Gaden studied conducting with Kurt Eichhorn in Munich, choral conducting with Kurt Thomas in Leipzig, and singing with Helge Rosvaenge, Otto Iro and Mario Tonelli.

In 1956 he founded the Tölzer Knabenchor, a boys' choir which achieved international fame within a few years. He conducted the choir until 2016. He was influenced by Carl Orff, Hans Werner Henze, Herbert von Karajan, August Everding and Claudio Abbado. His musical development was particularly influenced by his longstanding collaboration with Nikolaus Harnoncourt, with the Tölzer Knabenchor performing in Harnoncourt's first recordings of Bach's works in historically informed performance. In 1978, Schmidt-Gaden founded the "Florilegium Musicum", a chamber orchestra for early music with original instruments.

From 1980 to 1988 he was professor of choral conducting at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. From 1984 to 1989 he also worked as choir director at La Scala in Milan.

The writer , who sang in the Tölzer Knabenchor from 1988 to 1994, reported in 2017 retrospectively about mental abuse by Schmidt-Gaden up to the singing of a mocking song on the then overweight Kloeble during a bus ride of the choir. Another choirboy confirmed the atmosphere of fear, humiliation and emotional violence up to a slap in the face. Schmidt-Gaden did not comment on the accusations.

Schmidt-Gadens recordings with the Tölzer Knabenchor include Bach's Christmas Oratorio with the Collegium Aureum, Kleine Geistliche Konzerte by Heinrich Schütz, and sacred choral music by Orlande de Lassus. A reviewer of Gramophone noted about their 1971 recording of the Christmas Oratorio that it "bursts forth with spirited expectation as the Nativity is vigorously explored".

He took farewell from the Tölzer Knabenchor with a concert of four motets by Bach at the Stadtpfarrkirche in Bad Tölz in January 2016, opening the year of celebrating the choir's 60th anniversary.

In transaction processing, a pseudoconversational transaction is a type of transaction that emulates a true conversation in an interactive session. To the end user, it appears as though the program has simply "paused" to request further input, whereas in reality, most resources are released while the input is waiting to be received.

Transparent termination and restart
The controlling program has deliberately saved most of its state during the delay, terminated, and then, on being restarted through new input, restores its previous state. A single control variable is usually retained to hold the current state in terms of the stage of input reached (and therefore what must be recovered at any stage in order to resume processing). The state, including the control variable, is usually preserved in a 'temporary storage record' that maps the variables needing restoration as an aggregate set, usually contained in a single structure (other variables will be re-initialized on restart).

Conserving resources
This method of programming frees up pooled resources (such as memory) for an indeterminate time. This delay is the end-user 'thinking time' (or response time) and depends on human factors including speed of typing.
For systems supporting many thousands of users on a single processor, it allows the transparent 'look and feel' of a true conversational session without tying up limited resources.
