Alan Belmont Cobham (4 November 192728 June 2011) was an American mathematician and computer scientist known for (with Jack Edmonds) inventing the notion of polynomial time and the complexity class P, for Cobham's thesis stating that the problems that have practically-usable computer solutions are characterized by having polynomial time, and for Cobham's theorem on the sets of numbers that can be recognized by finite automata. He also did foundational work on automatic sequences, invented priority queues and studied them from the point of view of queueing theory, and wrote a program for playing contract bridge that was at the time (in the mid-1980s) one of the best in the world.

Cobham was a student at Oberlin College, the University of Chicago, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but did not complete a doctorate. He became an operations researcher for the United States Navy, a researcher for IBM Research at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center, and a professor and founding department chair of the computer science department at Wesleyan University.

Jeannie Bradbury (born Jessie Lorenza Jean Bradbury; 30 October 1917 – 15 June 1967), sometimes referred to as Jean Bradbury, was a British big band singer, best known for her appearances on BBC radio during the later years of World War II and into the 1950s, and for her association with the Welsh clarinetist and band leader Harry Parry, whom she married in 1945.

Biography 
Jeannie was born in Wandsworth, London, the daughter of Music Hall performer George Bradbury (known by the stage name George Sanford of the comedy team Sanford and Lyons) and his second wife Lorenza MacLennan.

Bradbury's first recorded broadcast for the BBC was in a General Forces Programme called I'll Play To You on Tuesday 9 August 1944, alongside Stéphane Grappelly and Robin Richmond, but got a break on the BBC feature Songs From The Shows while deputizing for Anne Ziegler. The musician Harry Parry, who was present for the broadcast, thought her to be a potential vocalist for his sextet. 

Bradbury subsequently appeared with Parry on a series of shows throughout the 1940s on BBC radio broadcasts including Late Night Dancing, Dancing Til Midnight, and Harry Parry. She was sometimes billed simply as Jean Bradbury in radio listings and on recordings.

In addition to a long-term residency at the London nightclub and restaurant Potomac at 40 Jermyn Street (today the location of Tramp), Bradbury sang with the Harry Parry Sextet in variety at the London Hippodrome, the Metropolitan Music Hall and throughout the English provinces. The couple toured the world, playing venues in India, the Far East and beyond.

In 1955 Parry filed for divorce in a highly publicized case, citing Bradbury's infidelity with the left-wing writer Frederic Mullally—a prominent member of the inner-circle of Stephen Ward, a central figure in the Profumo scandal which brought down the British government in 1963.

Harry Parry died alone in his Mayfair flat in October 1956, a few months after their divorce was finalized. The marriage produced no children.

Jeannie, whose career never recovered following the divorce scandal, married the shipbroker Michael Misroch in 1966, but died a year later from various forms of cancer.

Joseph Viskocil (December 21, 1952 – August 11, 2014) was an American special effects artist who had over 80 film credits from 1974 to 2014. He created special effects for some of the most famous movie franchises and was awarded an Academy Award for his work on Independence Day (1996).

Career
In 1977, Viskocil assisted John Dykstra and George Lucas in creating the pyrotechnics for Star Wars, including the explosion of the Death Star at the film's climax. In 1980, he returned to create pyrotechnics for The Empire Strikes Back. For the next three decades, he worked on films from the most famous franchises, including Ghostbusters, Batman and Star Trek.

After serving as pyrotechnics supervisor for the 1996 film Independence Day, Viskocil was awarded the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects alongside Volker Engel, Douglas Smith and Clay Pinney at the 69th Academy Awards. Viskocil and miniature supervisor Mike Joyce were responsible for the creation of a 15-foot-wide, 5-foot-high (4.57 metres by 1.52 metres) miniature of the White House, built for destruction during the film.

Style
In the 1990s, Viskocil opposed using computer-generated imagery in the creation of some special effects:

Following the September 11 attacks, Viskocil expressed guilt over making the explosions in Independence Day appear lifelike, saying "I started thinking maybe I did my job too well, and it might have been the nucleus of an idea for someone to say: ‘Hey, let’s crash a plane into the White House.’"

Personal life
Viskocil died on August 11, 2014, in Los Angeles from complications of liver and heart failure.

Shi'er lü (; ) is a standardized gamut of twelve notes used in ancient Chinese music. It is also known, rather misleadingly, as the Chinese chromatic scale; it was only one kind of chromatic scale used in ancient Chinese music. The shi'er lü uses the same intervals as the Pythagorean scale, based on 3:2 ratios (8:9, 16:27, 64:81, etc.). The gamut or its subsets were used for tuning and are preserved in bells and pipes.

Unlike the Western chromatic scale, the shi'er lü was not used as a scale in its own right; it is rather a set of fundamental notes on which other scales were constructed.

The first reference to "standardization of bells and pitch" dates back to around 600 BCE, while the first description of the generation of pitches dates back to around 240 CE.

There were 12 notes in total, which fall within the scope of one octave. Note that the mathematical method used by the ancient Chinese could never produce a true octave, as the next higher frequency in the series of frequencies produced by the Chinese system would be higher than 880 hertz.

Daniel Clement Colesworthy (14 July 1810 – 1 April 1893) was an American printer, bookseller, and poet. He was born in Portland, Maine in 1810, the son of Daniel P. and Anna Collins Colesworthy.  He became a printer, having served an apprenticeship in the office of Arthur Shirley, beginning at the age of 14.  Early in his life, he became the editor and publisher of a young people's paper first known as The Sabbath School Instructor, and afterwards Moral Reformer, and Journal of Reform, which did not last many years.

In June, 1840, he commenced the publication of a small semi-monthly paper call The Youth's Monitor, which he continued for about two years. In 1841 he printed the first number of a weekly literary paper, the Portland Tribune, which he continued for four years and ten weeks, and in June, 1845, sold his interest in the paper to John Edwards, who was publisher of the Portland Bulletin.  The two papers, becoming united, were called the Tribune and Bulletin.

Colesworthy kept a book store on Exchange Street, and for a while in the basement of the Mariner's Church, on the corner of Fore and Moulton Streets.

He afterwards, and before 1851, moved to Boston and opened a bookstore on Cornhill.  He was also proprietor of another store in the immediate vicinity, having his home in Chelsea.

He was a voluminous writer, both in prose and verse, seeking to instruct as well as amuse his readers.  Among his publications are several volumes of poetry, including the following in order of publication: "The Opening Buds," "A Group of Children," "The Year," and "School is Out." The latter of these was published in 1876, with copious notes, that were valuable for their biographical and historical data. The following notable quotation is from this work.

Ay, soon upon the stage of life,
Sweet, happy children, you will rise,
To mingle in its care and strife,
Or early find the peaceful skies.
Then be it yours, while you pursue
The golden moments, quick to haste
Some noble work of love to do,
Nor suffer one bright hour to waste.
[School is Out]

His son, William Gibson Colesworthy (1851–1907), attended Harvard and Boston University, entered his father's business in 1877 and carried on his father's bookstore at 66 Cornhill until his own death in 1907.

Los Angeles Now is a 60-minute documentary by producer/director Phillip Rodriguez. It first aired in November 2004 on PBS’s Independent Lens series.

The documentary examines the ways in which changing demographics in the City of Los Angeles have created one of the largest and most diverse cities on Earth and, yet in spite of this, the entertainment industry's representations of Los Angeles remain stale, often overlooking the city's vast cultural transformation. The film also ponders the ways in which Los Angeles serves as a diagnostic for other urban centers in the United States, particularly given the influx and influence of immigrants from around the world.

Several prominent Los Angeles figures are interviewed in the film, including actress Salma Hayek, philanthropist Eli Broad, author and essayist Richard Rodriguez, and Cardinal Roger Mahony.

Reception
Los Angeles Now was screened at the Redcat (Roy and Edna Disney/CalARts Theatre), the Harvard Film Archives, the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France.
