Functional safety
Functional safety is the part of the overall safety of a system or piece of equipment that depends on automatic protection operating correctly in response to its inputs or failure in a predictable manner (fail-safe). The automatic protection system should be designed to properly handle likely systematic errors, hardware failures and operational/environmental stress.

Automotive Safety Integrity Level
Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) is a risk classification scheme defined by the ISO 26262 - Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard. This is an adaptation of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) used in IEC 61508 for the automotive industry. This classification helps defining the safety requirements necessary to be in line with the ISO 26262 standard. The ASIL is established by performing a risk analysis of a potential hazard by looking at the Severity, Exposure and Controllability of the vehicle operating scenario. The safety goal for that hazard in turn carries the ASIL requirements.

There are four ASILs identified by the standard: ASIL A, ASIL B, ASIL C, ASIL D. ASIL D dictates the highest integrity requirements on the product and ASIL A the lowest. Hazards that are identified as QM (see below) do not dictate any safety requirements.
Tilbury Fort - Wind Against Tide
Tlbury Fort - Wind Against Tide is an 1849 landscape painting by the British artist Clarkson Stanfield.  It depicts a view of Tilbury Fort on the River Thames. Two hay barges and a peter boat are in the foreground.

The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1849 at the National Gallery. It was acquired and presented as a gift for the railway engineer Robert Stephenson when he retired from the board of the London and North Western Railway. It again featured at the Salon of 1855 in Paris.  Today it is in the collection of the Port of London Authority but as of 2025 it is on loan to the Museum of the Docklands. Several versions exist of the painting and James Tibbits Willmore produced an engraving based on it.

Peter boat
A Peter Boat or Peterboat was a type of fishing boat, found principally on the Thames Estuary and the adjacent coasts of eastern England. In legend, the peter boat's origins may lie with the boats used to ferry passengers to and from St. Peter's Abbey, the Saxon predecessor to Westminster Abbey in London (the Abbey was originally on a small island called Thorney Island) or simply from St Peter, the patron saint of fishermen.

By the middle of the second millennium, a peter boat was a double ended rowing boat of about 12 feet (3.7 m) in length, usually used for fishing. A second type from about 18 feet to 28 feet (5.5m to 8.5m) was used below the Pool of London and had sails.   Lower down the Thames the fishermen of Gravesend and Barking developed an estuary version and in summertime sailed to the Essex and Suffolk coasts, bringing back their live catch in wells.

The Peter Boat Inn, in Leigh-on-Sea near the mouth of the Thames Estuary, is named after this type of fishing boat.
Loy Kirksey House
The Loy Kirksey House is a historic house in rural Clark County, Arkansas.  It is located on the south side of Still Creek Road (County Road 59) east of the hamlet of Fendley.

Around 1895 this structure was expanded to form the dog-trot by William Kirksey.  The only significant alteration since then is the replacement of the original chimney in the mid-20th century with the present brick one.  The property also includes two single-story log barns built in the early decades of the 20th century.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

Wonder Drug (book)
Wonder Drug: The Secret History of Thalidomide in America and Its Hidden Victims is a nonfiction book authored by Jennifer Vanderbes and published by Random House in 2023. It tells the story of how Frances Oldham Kelsey of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found flaws in thalidomide research. Contrary to the initial opinion that the FDA declined the drug a license for morning sickness in pregnancy and the US was therefore spared the thalidomide scandal, Vanderbes claims that the drug was still widely distributed there in the late 1950s and 1960s. As a result, many more babies were affected by phocomelia than originally believed.

Thalidomide scandal
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, thalidomide was prescribed to women in 46 countries who were pregnant or who subsequently became pregnant, and consequently resulted in the "biggest anthropogenic medical disaster ever," with more than 10,000 children born with a range of severe deformities, such as phocomelia, as well as thousands of miscarriages.

Thalidomide was introduced in 1957 as a tranquilizer, and was later marketed by the West German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal under the trade name Contergan as a medication for anxiety, trouble sleeping, tension, and morning sickness. It was introduced as a sedative and medication for morning sickness without having been tested on pregnant women. While initially deemed to be safe in pregnancy, concerns regarding birth defects were noted in 1961, and the medication was removed from the market in Europe that year.
Arcor (telecommunications)
Arcor was the former name of the fixed phone line and Internet business of Vodafone D2 GmbH, a German subsidiary of telecommunications company Vodafone. It was the second-largest provider of fixed phone lines in Germany, after Deutsche Telekom. The name was changed on 1 August 2009 following Vodafone's acquisition of the company.  
Its headquarters were in Eschborn, near Frankfurt. It was one of the few telecommunications companies in Germany to operate an ISDN network independent of the incumbent provider, Deutsche Telekom.

In 2008, Vodafone Germany had 2.1 million ADSL customers and 1.1 million ISDN customers. Arcor was the first German telecommunications provider to offer a flat rate tariff for ISDN phone lines.

Eschborn
Eschborn (German pronunciation: [ˈɛʃbɔʁn] ⓘ) is a town in the Main-Taunus district, Hesse, Germany. It is part of the Frankfurt Rhein-Main urban area and has a population of 21,488 (2018). Eschborn is home to numerous corporations due to its proximity to Frankfurt and relatively low business tax rate.
Maghrebi communities of Paris
The Paris metropolitan area has a large Maghrebi population as a result of French colonial ties to that region. the majority of those of African origin living in Paris come from the Maghreb.

In 2019, the Paris Region had 330,935 Algerians, 253,518 Moroccans and 127,827 Tunisians. in addition, there are thousands of Maghrebi Jews who immigrated during the 1960s.

Naomi Davidson, author of Only Muslim: Embodying Islam in Twentieth-Century France, wrote that as of the mid-20th Century "The "community" of Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians, however, was certainly not monolithic, as even the police acknowledged in their discussion of the North African "populations" of the Paris region".

French North Africa
French North Africa (French: Afrique du Nord française; Arabic: شمال إفريقيا الفرنسية) is a term that is often applied to the three territories that were controlled by France in the Maghreb region of North Africa during the colonial era, comprising Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. In contrast to French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa, which existed as federations of French colonies and administrative entities in their own right, French North Africa was never more than a term of convenience to refer to the three separately-governed territories, which had different forms of colonial regime.
