HMS Uproar (P31) was a Royal Navy U-class submarine built by Vickers-Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness.  So far she has been the only ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name Uproar.  She was originally named P 31, renamed Ulleswater in February 1943 and finally renamed Uproar in April 1943.

Career
One of her first actions, whilst serving as P 31, was to participate in the operation that led to the sinking of the Bismarck, though she did not see action directly.

Uproar spent most of the war operating in the Mediterranean as part of the 10th flotilla, using Malta as a base.  She was damaged whilst in port by an air raid, and required repairs before continuing operations.  On commencing patrols, she went on to sink the Italian auxiliary patrol vessel D-15/Brindisi, the Italian merchant Chietti (the former French Artesien), and the small Italian passenger ship . The Andrea Sgarallino had some 300 civilians on board off which only four survived. She also sank the Italian merchant Marin Sanudo.  Uproar was subsequently attacked by depth charges from the Italian torpedo boats  and .

Other targets included the German (former French) tanker Champagne, which ran aground off Bastia, Corsica, France after being torpedoed on the 24th by HMS Ultor. Uproar also damaged the German tanker Matera (the former French General Gassouin) and the German troop transport Virgilio (the former Yugoslavian Dubrovnik) north-east of St. Tropez, southern France. The Viriglio was towed to Toulon but declared a total loss.

Uproar also unsuccessfully attacked the Italian merchant Chisone, the German submarine U-466 and the Italian light cruiser Raimondo Montecuccoli.  She also participated in operations Harpoon and Vigorous in June 1942.

Uproar survived the war and was sold for scrap on 13 February 1946, and scrapped at Thos. W. Ward Inverkeithing.

Stan is a probabilistic programming language for statistical inference written in C++. The Stan language is used to specify a (Bayesian) statistical model with an imperative program calculating the log probability density function.

Stan is licensed under the New BSD License. Stan is named in honour of Stanislaw Ulam, pioneer of the Monte Carlo method.

Stan was created by a development team consisting of 34 members that includes Andrew Gelman, Bob Carpenter, Matt Hoffman, and Daniel Lee.

Interfaces 
The Stan language itself can be accessed through several interfaces:
 CmdStan – a command-line executable for the shell,
 CmdStanR and rstan – R software libraries,
 CmdStanPy and PyStan – libraries for the Python programming language,
 CmdStan.rb - library for the  Ruby programming language,
 MatlabStan – integration with the MATLAB numerical computing environment,
 Stan.jl – integration with the Julia programming language,
 StataStan – integration with Stata.

In addition, higher-level interfaces are provided with packages using Stan as backend, primarily in the R language:

 rstanarm provides a drop-in replacement for frequentist models provided by base R and lme4 using the R formula syntax;
 brms provides a wide array of linear and nonlinear models using the R formula syntax;
 prophet provides automated procedures for time series forecasting.

Algorithms 
Stan implements gradient-based Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for Bayesian inference, stochastic, gradient-based variational Bayesian methods for approximate Bayesian inference, and gradient-based optimization for penalized maximum likelihood estimation. 
 MCMC algorithms:
 Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC)
 No-U-Turn sampler (NUTS), a variant of HMC and Stan's default MCMC engine
 Variational inference algorithms:
 Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference
 Optimization algorithms:
 Limited-memory BFGS (Stan's default optimization algorithm)
 Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno algorithm 
 Laplace's method for classical standard error estimates and approximate Bayesian posteriors

Automatic differentiation 
Stan implements reverse-mode automatic differentiation to calculate gradients of the model, which is required by HMC, NUTS, L-BFGS, BFGS, and variational inference. The automatic differentiation within Stan can be used outside of the probabilistic programming language.

Usage 
Stan is used in fields including social science, pharmaceutical statistics, market research, and medical imaging.

Rostislav Alexandrovich Shilo () (23 October 1940 – 26 April 2016) was a Soviet and Russian public figure, an honoured worker of culture of the RSFSR, a director of the Novosibirsk Zoo (1972-2016), an honorary resident of Novosibirsk and a member of the Novosibirsk city council.

Biography
Rostislav Shilo was born on 23 October 1940 in Dalnerechensk. His father was a biologist. During World War II his family moved to Novosibirsk. In 1961, Shilo graduated from veterinarian vocational school in Kuybyshev and went to work for the Novosibirsk Zoo.

In 1962, Shilo was drafted into the Soviet Armed Forces. He served in radio-technical military unit in the Russian Far East and was demobbed in 1965. After military service, Shilo returned to the Novosibirsk Zoo.

He was soon appointed head of the mammals section and also became a сhairman of the trade union committee. In 1969-1972, Shilo was interim acting director of the Novosibirsk Zoo. In 1972, Shilo was appointed director of the Novosibirsk Zoo, a post he held until his death. In 1975, Shilo graduated from the Novosibirsk Agricultural Institute with a specialist degree in zootechnics.

The most significant contribution of Rostislav Shilo to the Novosibirsk Zoo development was the relocation to a new area in the Zayeltsovsky District. This process, began in 1979, took a long time, and faced many organizational and financial problems, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The new zoo opened its doors to visitors in 1993, but the final relocation was completed in 2005. The zoo at once became a tourist attraction for Novosibirsk residents and visitors. Simultaneously with the relocation, the zoo was conducting the extensive scientific research work for a cultivation and preservation of endangered species. Shilo is the author of 50 scientific works and 9 scientific discoveries.

In 1987, Shilo was awarded the honorary title of “Honoured worker of culture of RSFSR”.

Since 2000, Shilo was a member of Novosibirsk's city council.

On 29 June 2007 (Novosibirsk City Day), Shilo became the honorary resident of the city.

Rostislav Shilo died on 26 April 2016 in Meshalkin clinic. He is buried in Zayeltsovskoye Cemetery.

The Gunner River is a river on the West Coast of New Zealand. It rises in the Domett Range in the Kahurangi National Park and flows north-west into the Heaphy River, which flows into the Tasman Sea.

A swingbridge crosses the river near its junction with the Heaphy. This bridge is part of the Heaphy Track. Heavy rain in the Buller District in February 2022 caused significant damage. The suspension bridge over the Gunner River was damaged but is deemed repairable, while the Pitt Creek bridge was swept away, and the suspension bridge over the Heaphy River was destroyed. The West Coast end of the Heaphy Track is predicted to be closed for several months.

In Greek mythology, Tragasus (Ancient Greek: Τράγασος) or Cragasus (Κράγασος) was the father of Philonome, the deceitful wife of Cycnus.

Mythology 
The name Tragasus may be connected with the Tragasaean salt-pan near Hamaxitus, mentioned by Strabo, which was located south of Troy. Stephanus of Byzantium mentions Tragasus as the eponym of Tragasae in Troad, and adds that Poseidon was believed to once have done him a favor by turning the sea water into solid matter. The connection between him and the placename is also confirmed in the Etymologicum Magnum.
