Eastney Beam Engine House. Eastney Beam Engine House is a Grade II -listed Victorian engine house in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. Dating from 1887, it contains two 150 hp James Watt & Co. beam engines. The pumps were built as part of a plan to improve Portsmouth's sewage system. The other element of the plan was large holding tanks which held the sewage until the pumps could empty them into the ebb tide. The pumps have since been superseded by advancing technology but have been restored (in 1980). The restoration was funded by grants totalling £10,066 from Portsmouth city council, £4000 from Hampshire county council and £2000 from the Department of the Environment. The Engine House is now open to the public as a museum, owned by Portsmouth City Council (Museums Service) but operated by volunteers; consequently is only open on the last weekend in every month.

Rhode Island Soft Systems. Rhode Island Soft Systems (also known as R.I. Soft Systems and RISS) was an American software development and new media company based in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The company was best known for developing screensavers, computer games and programming tools for Microsoft Windows.

Early history
Rhode Island Soft Systems was founded in 1990 by Eric Robichaud. Originally conceived as a side venture to Robichaud’s full-time work as a computer programmer with CVS Caremark Corporation, Robichaud’s first product was a DOS screensaver called BLANK-IT. Additional products were created, and by 1994 Robichaud left CVS to start his own company.

Among the first Rhode Island Soft Systems products to gain wide attention was a 1994 signature font product that enabled computer users to incorporate their signature word processing documents. The company also created a digital jigsaw puzzle game called Jixxa, and received commissions to create screensavers and interactive CD-ROMs to promote Folgers Coffee, the New York Knicks and Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Product lines
During the late 1990s, the company created a series of whimsical screensavers that poked fun at popular culture figures and trends. Among its most notable titles were Hey, Macaroni!, which used animated dancing noodles to spoof the Macarena craze, and Liverdance, which parodied Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance success with a troupe of anthropomorphic livers performing Irish stepdancing. Liverdance, released in 1998, was also the first screensaver that incorporated built-in multiple advertisements, with Hasbro Interactive, Prodigy, Barnes & Noble, Symantec and WinZip as the first advertisers.

Beyond its consumer products, the company created programming tools including Image Carousel Professional Edition and Ovation Studio Pro.

Company expansion and sale
In 1999, the company acquired Mediaweave, a Providence, Rhode Island–based company that produced multimedia projects and Web sites. By 2000, Rhode Island Soft Systems grew to US$1 million in annual sales.

In 2003, Rhode Island Soft Systems was sold to Freeze.com, a Waite Park, Minnesota–based screensaver development company. The transaction included a five-year development and sponsorship contract that highlighted the Rhode Island Soft Systems products on the Freeze.com web site.

Flint Creek (Alabama). Flint Creek is a major tributary along the Tennessee River that runs in the US state of Alabama for its entire length. Its headwaters are in northern Cullman County, and after running through Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, it ends in the Tennessee River at Decatur.

The water level of the lower course of the creek is greatly affected by the level of Wheeler Lake. According to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, it is "one of Alabama's precious natural resources". Affected by "nonpoint source pollution", the Department claims that pollution has gone down in the decade since it became a pilot project for the EPA's watershed program.

The creek is popular for its fishing, especially of crappie. The water flows slowly, and is overgrown in many places. Fish include redear sunfish, bluegill, and longear sunfish, two kinds of black bass (spotted bass and largemouth bass), and various kinds of catfish (flathead, blue, and channel). Yellow perch were introduced to Wheeler Lake and are found in the creek also.

Dabos JD.24P D'Artagnan. The Dabos JD.24P D'Artagnan was a French light twin-engined civil utility aircraft of the 1960s.

Development

The aircraft was designed by Jean Dabos in 1962 and first flew in the following year. The D'Artagnan featured a two-spar plywood-covered wooden wing and an all-wood semi-monocoque fuselage. A retractable tailwheel undercarriage was fitted, but provision was made for changing to a tricycle undercarriage layout. Accommodation was provided for four persons.  The projected production version was to have a non-retractable faired undercarriage, variable-pitch propellers in place of the prototype's fixed pitch units, and 115 h.p. Potez engines.

Operational history

The sole example F-WJSV was flown extensively by its designer, Jean Dabos, for much of the 1960s. In May 1967 the D'Artagnan was flown to Biggin Hill Airport in Kent for demonstrations.
It was later registered F-PJSV in the homebuilt series and in 2006 was held in storage at the Musee Regional de l'Air at Angers Aerodrome.

Frederick Gebbie. Sir Frederick St John Gebbie CIE (7 August 1871 – 20 March 1939) was a British civil engineer in India.

Gebbie was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was educated at Edinburgh Collegiate School, the University of Edinburgh and the Royal Indian Engineering College. He joined the Bombay Presidency Public Works Department as an assistant engineer in 1893, was promoted to executive engineer in 1899, superintending engineer in 1911, and chief engineer in 1915, and became secretary of the department in 1916. He worked for many years in Sind and was one of the main proponents of the Lloyd Barrage at Sukkur, which was constructed to fertilise the region.

In 1920, Gebbie was sent to Egypt to chair the Nile Projects Commission, examining River Nile irrigation. In 1921 he was appointed Inspector-General of Irrigation of the Government of India, and was instrumental in the construction of defences to prevent the town of Dera Ismail Dun being flooded by the Indus. His post was abolished in 1923 and he was appointed Consulting Engineer to the Government of India. He retired in 1926.

Gebbie was appointed Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in the 1920 New Year Honours and was knighted in 1925.

Tour Swiss Life. The Tour Swiss Life is a skyscraper of offices located in La Part-Dieu quarter, in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon. This 82-metre tower was built in 1989 by French architect Charles Delfante. It was the second tallest tower in Lyon before the end of the construction of the Tour Oxygène in 2010, and is now the 4th tallest, with 20 floors. The tower was originally to be about 120 metres, but the City Council was opposed to highrises at the time. It is surrounded by a ditch and has its ground floor at level -1, the entrance is via a gateway. It houses in particular the Swiss Life company. At the MIPIM exhibition in 2009, the Mayor of Lyon, Gérard Collomb confirmed the desire of Swiss Life to raise the tower. The project has since been modified, a new tower has been proposed to be built in place of the current 4-storey-high parking garage of SwissLife tower.

Cluster-aware application. A cluster-aware application is a software application designed to call cluster APIs in order to determine its running state, in case a manual failover is triggered between cluster nodes for planned technical maintenance, or an automatic failover is required, if a computing cluster node encounters hardware or software failure, to maintain business continuity. A cluster-aware application may be capable of failing over LAN or WAN.

Cluster-aware application characteristics

 Use TCP/IP to maintain heartbeat between nodes.
 Capable of transaction processing.
 Mirroring cluster information in realtime.

Scalable parallelism. Software is said to exhibit scalable parallelism if it can make use of additional processors to solve larger problems,
i.e. this term refers to software for which Gustafson's law holds.
Consider a program whose execution time is dominated by one or more loops,
each of that updates every element of an array ---
for example, the following finite difference heat equation stencil calculation:

 for t := 0 to T do
     for i := 1 to N-1 do
         new(i) := (A(i-1) + A(i) + A(i) + A(i+1)) * .25
         // explicit forward-difference with R = 0.25
     end
     for i := 1 to N-1 do
         A(i) := new(i)
     end
 end

In the above code, we can execute all iterations of each "i" loop concurrently,
i.e., turn each into a parallel loop.
In such cases,
it is often possible to make effective use of twice as many processors for a problem of array size 2N
as for a problem of array size N.
As in this example, scalable parallelism is typically a form of data parallelism.
This form of parallelism is often the target of automatic parallelization of loops.

Distributed computing systems and non-uniform memory access architectures
are typically the most easily scaled to large numbers of processors,
and thus would seem a natural target for software that exhibits scalable parallelism.
However, applications with scalable parallelism may not have parallelism of
sufficiently coarse grain
to run effectively on such systems (unless the software is embarrassingly parallel).
In our example above, the second "i" loop is embarrassingly parallel,
but in the first loop each iteration requires results produced in several prior iterations.
Thus, for the first loop, parallelization may involve extensive communication or synchronization among processors,
and thus only result in a net speedup if such interactions have very low overhead,
or if the code can be transformed to resolve this issue (i.e., by combined scalable locality/scalable parallelism optimization).

Scalable locality. Computer software is said to exhibit scalable locality if it can continue to make use of processors that out-pace their memory systems, to solve ever larger problems.
This term is a high-performance uniprocessor analog of the use of scalable parallelism to refer to software for which increasing numbers of processors can be employed for larger problems.

Overview 
Consider the memory usage patterns of the following loop nest (an iterative two-dimensional stencil computation):

for t := 0 to T do
    for i := 1 to N-1 do
        for j := 1 to N-1 do
            new(i,j) := (A(i-1,j) + A(i,j-1) + A(i,j) + A(i,j+1) + A(i+1,j)) * .2
        end
    end

    for i := 1 to N-1 do
        for j := 1 to N-1 do
            A(i,j) := new(i,j)
        end
    end
end

The entire loop nest touches about 2*N**2 array elements, and performs about 5*T*N**2 floating-point operations.
Thus, the overall compute balance (ratio of floating-point computations to floating-point memory cells used) of this entire loop nest is about 5T/2.
When the compute balance is a function of problem size, as it is here, the code is said to have scalable compute balance.
Here, we could achieve any compute balance we desire by simply choosing a large enough .

However, when  is large, this code will still not exhibit good cache reuse, due to poor locality of reference:
by the time new(1,1) is needed in the second assignment, or the second time step's execution of the first assignment,
the cache line holding new(1,1) will have been overwritten with some other part of one of the arrays.

Tiling of the first i/j loop nest can improve cache performance,
but only by a limited factor, since that nest has compute balance of about 5/2.
To produce a very high degree of locality, for example 500 (to run this code efficiently with an array that will not fit in RAM and is relegated to virtual memory), we must re-use values across time steps.

Optimization across time steps has been explored in a number of research compilers;
see work by Wonnacott, by Song and Li, or by Sadayappan et al. for details of some approaches to time-tiling.
Wonnacott demonstrated that time tiling could be used to optimize for out-of-core data sets;
in principle, any of these approaches should be able to achieve arbitrarily high memory locality without requiring that the entire array fit in cache (the cache requirement does, however, grow with the required locality).
The multiprocessor techniques cited above should, in principle, simultaneously produce scalable locality and scalable parallelism.

Handheld Isothermal Silver Standard Sensor. The Handheld Isothermal Silver Standard Sensor (HISSS) project was sponsored by DARPA in the 2000s to develop a hand-held sensor that is capable of identifying biological weapon threats across the entire spectrum including bacteria, viruses and toxins. The program began in early part of the 21st century with the following goals:

 DNA detection without polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
 RNA detection without PCR or reverse transcription
 antibody-based protein detection at sensitivities unachievable by traditional methods

The final goal was to give field units the ability to detect threat agents across the complete spectrum of biological warfare weapons. 

The main contractor for this project was Northrop Grumman  with subcontractors Ionian Technologies and Ribomed.
