Lisp Machine Lisp is a programming language, a dialect of the language Lisp. A direct descendant of Maclisp, it was initially developed in the mid to late 1970s as the system programming language for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lisp machines. Lisp Machine Lisp was also the Lisp dialect with the most influence on the design of Common Lisp.

Lisp Machine Lisp branched into three dialects. Symbolics named their variant ZetaLisp. Lisp Machines, Inc. and later Texas Instruments (with the TI Explorer) would share a common code base, but their dialect of Lisp Machine Lisp would differ from the version maintained at the MIT AI Lab by Richard Stallman and others.

Systems programming
Systems programming, or system programming, is the activity of programming computer system software. The primary distinguishing characteristic of systems programming when compared to application programming is that application programming aims to produce software which provides services to the user directly (e.g. word processor), whereas systems programming aims to produce software and software platforms which provide services to other software, are performance constrained, or both (e.g. operating systems, computational science applications, game engines, industrial automation, and software as a service applications).

Systems programming requires a great degree of hardware awareness. Its goal is to achieve efficient use of available resources, either because the software itself is performance-critical or because even small efficiency improvements directly transform into significant savings of time or money.

Lithuanian White
The Lithuanian White (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Baltoji) is a Lithuanian breed of general-purpose pig. It was developed in the twentieth century in the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic under the Lithuanian Animal Husbandry Research Institute of Baisogala, and was officially recognised in 1967.: 121  It derives from cross-breeding of local pigs with imported breeds including the Large White, the Deutsches Edelschwein and the German Landrace.: 121  It was bred for suitability to conditions in Lithuania, but spread to other parts of the Soviet Union including those that are now Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Moldova, and was also reared in parts of the Russian Republic.: 121

In 1980 the breed numbered over a million head.: 105  In 2020 a total of 353 animals was reported to DAD-IS by Lithuania; its conservation status there is reported as "critical". The Russian Federation last reported numbers in 2003, when there were 18 200 head; conservation status there is unknown.

Conservation status
The conservation status of a group of organisms (for example, a species) indicates whether the group still exists and how likely it is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status—not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats.

Various systems of conservation status are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels, as well as for consumer use such as sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification. The two international systems are by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
