C. William Gear (Charles William "Bill" Gear; 1 February 1935, in London – 15 March 2022, in Princeton, New Jersey) was a British-American mathematician who specialized in numerical analysis and computer science. Gear was an American citizen.

Gear studied at the University of Cambridge with a bachelor's degree in 1957 and an M.A. in 1960, and at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign with an M.S. in 1957 and a Ph.D. in 1960 under Abraham H. Taub with his thesis Singular Shock Intersections in Plane Flow. From 1960 to 1962, he worked as an engineer for IBM. From 1962 to 1990, he was a professor of computer science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he was the head of the computer science department from 1985 to 1990. From 1992 to 2000, he was president of the NEC Research Institute in Princeton.

From 1966 to 1971, he was a consultant at Argonne National Laboratory.

Gear worked on numerical analysis, computer graphics, and software development. He was known for the development of BDF methods (originally introduced by the chemists Charles Francis Curtiss and Joseph Oakland Hirschfelder in 1952), a multi-step method for solving stiff systems of differential equations. Gear first published on BDF methods in 1966.

Since his retirement from NEC, he has collaborated with Prof. Kevrekidis at Princeton on equation-free methods.

Gear was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 1992 for seminal work in methods and software for solving classes of differential equations and differential-algebraic equations of significance in applications. He was also a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the IEEE. In 1987 he received an honorary doctorate from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

Many musicians have been murdered during their active career. Most of the musicians had been shot or stabbed to death. Some of them have received extensive media attention, including the murder of John Lennon in 1980, the murder of Selena in 1995, the murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996, the murder of the Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, and the murder of XXXTentacion in 2018. Others have received less media attention, including the murder of Bryan Harvey, who was killed during the 2006 Richmond spree murders.

Joe Marino (born 1946, Wythenshawe, Manchester) is a British trade unionist.

Marino joined the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers' Union (BFAWU) in his youth, and was elected as a shop steward in 1968.  He was active in attempts to build a shop stewards' movement, and in 1971 was elected to the union's National Executive Council, soon also becoming involved in national negotiations over pay and conditions. He had worked previously as a baker at the Old Trafford factory of Knightsbridge Cakes.

BFAWU members undertook a national strike in 1978; this ended in defeat, but Marino's profile increased to the extent that he was elected as the union's general secretary the following year.  At this time, he was a member of Militant, a Trotskyist group in the Labour Party.

Marino left the Labour Party in the 1990s, and joined the Socialist Labour Party, for which he stood unsuccessfully in London at the European Parliament election, 1999, championing a Eurosceptic position.

Marino remained general secretary of BFAWU until his retirement in 2010.  From 1998, he also served on the executive of the General Federation of Trade Unions, and as its chair from 2009 until 2011.

The Gibson Chet Atkins SST was a solid body acoustic-electric designed by the musician Chet Atkins and manufactured and marketed by Gibson. The steel-string model was introduced in 1987 and was discontinued in 2006. The Chet Atkins CE was the original nylon string version of 1982 and possibly the first of its kind.

Design
The SST was a design that combined Gibson's steel-string acoustic and electric guitar technology.

The guitar had a solid spruce or cedar top and a mahogany body. Unlike most acoustic-electrics, the SST had no resonating chamber or soundhole. The acoustic sound came from a bridge mounted transducer manufactured by L.R. Baggs for Gibson with a proprietary active pre-amp. The SST had controls for volume as well as boost and cut for both treble and bass signals.

The SST was offered in five finishes:  natural, ebony, white, burgundy and cherry sunburst. It had mother of pearl inlays on the fretboard, headstock, and bridge and features gold plated hardware. Early models had an ornate headstock and a fake sound hole with the knobs mounted on the front of the guitar. Later models had star inlays and a Les Paul style headstock. It also sports Chet Atkins's signature above the fretboard.

Popular use
The SST quickly became popular among rock and country players because high volume levels could be reached without any feedback, whereas most traditional acoustic electrics will emit moderate to high levels of feedback when they come near amplifiers, speakers or microphones. This ability made the SST suitable acoustic guitar for live music.

The Norwegian Institute for Strategic Studies (, NORISS) is a strategic studies research institute based in Oslo, Norway.

It was established as an independent institution on 1 January 2006. Structurally, it was organized as a "stiftelse" (foundation) from the start, but was transformed into an "aksjeselskap" (stock company) in 2009. The institute was supported by various organizations, most importantly the trade union Norwegian Union of Municipal and General Employees. In addition to this, the idea was to seek project-based economic support. In January 2010, it became clear that the financial strategy had failed, and the board of directors filed for bankruptcy. According to board member Leif Sande, there had been a dire lack of external demand for research.

Director of NORISS was Jon Bingen. It had a small staff of researchers, in addition to a group of external senior advisors who worked for the institute sporadically. Senior advisors include Hallvard Bakke, Johan J. Jakobsen and Erik Reinert. Chairman of the board when NORISS filed for bankruptcy was Tormod Hermansen, and deputy chair was Gerd Kristiansen.

Not long after the bankruptcy filing, talks of reviving the institute ensued. According to Klassekampen, among those who pondered taking over were Petter Jansen, possibly Sverre Diesen as well as foreign interests. Tormod Hermansen stated that Jon Bingen would no longer be director because of limited financial capabilities.

William Syphax School, now known as Syphax Village, is a historic former school building in the Southwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. that now houses condominiums.  The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History
The William Syphax School historically served African American students.  It was named for William Syphax, the first president of the Board of Trustees of Colored Schools of Washington and Georgetown.  He supported the notion of a unified public school system and supported equal educational standards.  He was responsible for the construction of the Charles Sumner School and the Thaddeus Stevens School.  

A building for the school was completed in 1901 and was expanded in 1941 and again in 1953.  It ceased serving as a school in 1994. Three years later, residents complained that it had become a drug market and crack house.  The Southwest Neighborhood Assembly began to aggressively seek out a developer and found one, which purchased the school in 1999. The old school building was officially declared a historic landmark in 2003, and the newer buildings were razed starting in 2001. Manna redeveloped the school building into a condominium development, which opened in 2005 as Syphax Village.

Architecture
The building was designed in the Colonial Revival style. The D.C. Office of the Building Inspector commissioned its construction.  It was designed by the architectural firm of Marsh & Peter.  Municipal Architect Nathan C. Wyeth designed the 1941 addition.   The original building is two and a half stories and is topped with a hipped roof.  The exterior features a red brick façade arched windows and white terra cotta trim.  The additions are also covered in red brick but have flat roofs, multi-paned windows, and limestone trim.

The College Language Association (CLA) is a professional association of Black scholars and educators who teach English and foreign languages.  Founded in 1937 by a group of African-American language and literature scholars, the organization "serves the academic, scholarly and professional interests of its members and the collegiate communities they represent."

History
Hugh Gloster, a professor of English at LeMoyne College corresponded with Gladstone Lewis Chandler of Morehouse College about the low English proficiency rates among their students.  Together with other teachers at predominantly Black institutions, they formed the  Association of Teachers of English in Negro Colleges in 1937.  In 1941, the organization broadened their scope and changed their name to the Association of Teachers of Languages in Negro Colleges (ATLNC).  The name was changed again in 1949 to the College Language Association (CLA).

The organization's membership has expanded to an international audience focusing on themes of African American, Caribbean and African diaspora studies.  Members range from undergraduate students to university faculty. Notable contributors include John Frederick Matheus, Therman O'Daniel, Lucy Clemmons Grigsby, A. Russell Brooks, Darwin Turner, Charles A. Ray and Nick Aaron Ford.
