Roger A. Broucke. Roger A. Broucke (March 25, 1932 – June 21, 2005) was an aerospace engineer known for his solutions to the three-body problem. After working on practical orbital mechanics at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he became a professor at the University of Texas at Austin.

Life
Broucke was born on a farm in Veurne. He studied at the Catholic University of Leuven, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics in 1955 and 1957 respectively, under the mentorship of Georges Lemaître. After completing his military service he worked for the oil industry while earning a second master's degree, in operations research, from the University of Brussels in 1960.

He returned to Leuven for his doctoral work, on the three-body problem, which he completed in 1962. At this time he moved to California to work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory; while there, he also took adjunct positions at West Coast University, the University of Southern California, and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His position at UCLA became a regular-rank associate professorship in 1969.

In 1975, Broucke moved to the University of Texas at Austin as an associate professor of aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics. At Austin, he helped found the Texas Institute for Computational Mechanics in 1976.

Contributions
In the three-body problem, Broucke's doctoral research involved pioneering use of computer simulations to classify stable and unstable orbits. He investigated what happens to this classification for earth–moon–satellite systems in the limit as the ratio of earth to moon mass approaches zero; his conjecture about this limiting behavior, "Broucke's principle", was finally proven correct in 1981 by Lawrence Perko. As part of this work, he also developed symbolic computation methods for handling Poisson series.

Later, he studied the anisotropic Kepler problem, a mathematical model of the motion of an electron trapped in a potential well. As he showed, this system is not purely chaotic: it has periodic orbits as well. He also studied the use of gravity assist in finding efficient flight plans for space probes.

Recognition
In 1973, Broucke became executive editor of the journal Celestial Mechanics.

The American Astronautical Society gave him their Dirk Brouwer Award in 2002.

Personal
Broucke's daughter, Mireille Broucke, is a noted control theorist at the University of Toronto.

VENOM. VENOM (short for Virtualized Environment Neglected Operations Manipulation) is a computer security flaw that was discovered in 2015 by Jason Geffner, then a security researcher at CrowdStrike. The flaw was introduced in 2004 and affected versions of QEMU, Xen, KVM, and VirtualBox from that date until it was patched following disclosure.

The existence of the vulnerability was due to a flaw in QEMU's virtual floppy disk controller.

VENOM is registered in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database as .

The Protection of Information in Computer Systems. The Protection of Information in Computer Systems is a 1975 seminal publication by Jerome Saltzer and Michael Schroeder about information security.  The paper emphasized that the primary concern of security measures should be the information on computers and not the computers itself.

It was published 10 years prior to Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria, commonly known as the Orange Book.

Design principles
The following design principles are laid out in the paper:
 Economy of mechanism: Keep the design as simple and small as possible.
 Fail-safe defaults: Base access decisions on permission rather than exclusion.
 Complete mediation: Every access to every object must be checked for authority.
 Open design: The design should not be secret.
 Separation of privilege: Where feasible, a protection mechanism that requires two keys to unlock it is more robust and flexible than one that allows access to the presenter of only a single key.
 Least privilege: Every program and every user of the system should operate using the least set of privileges necessary to complete the job.
 Least common mechanism: Minimize the amount of mechanism common to more than one user and depended on by all users.
 Psychological acceptability: It is essential that the human interface be designed for ease of use, so that users routinely and automatically apply the protection mechanisms correctly.
 Work factor: Compare the cost of circumventing the mechanism with the resources of a potential attacker.
 Compromise recording: It is sometimes suggested that mechanisms that reliably record that a compromise of information has occurred can be used in place of more elaborate mechanisms that completely prevent loss.

Code page 897. Code page 897 (CCSID 897) is IBM's implementation of the 8-bit form of JIS X 0201. It includes several additional graphical characters in the C0 control characters area, and the code points in question may be used as control characters or graphical characters depending on the context, similarly in concept to OEM-US, but with different graphical characters. The C0 rows are shown below.

Amongst IBM's code pages, it accompanies code page 895, which encodes the ISO 646 set of JIS X 0201, and code page 896 (half-width katakana), which encodes the Kana set (upper half) of JIS X 0201 with extensions. When combined with the double-byte code page 301, it makes up the two code-sets of IBM code page 932 (IBM PC Japan MIX). When combined with the double-byte code page 941, it makes up code page 943 (equivalent to Windows-932, although Microsoft uses ASCII mappings for 0x00 though 0x7F). When combined with the double-byte code page 1393, it makes up code page 1394.

Pres-Lam. Pres-Lam is a method of mass engineered timber construction that uses high strength unbonded steel cables or bars to create connections between timber beams and columns or columns and walls and their foundations. As a prestressed structure the steel cables clamp members together creating connections which are stronger and more compact than traditional timber fastening systems. In earthquake zones, the steel cables can be coupled with internal or external steel reinforcing which provide additional strength and energy dissipation creating a damage avoiding structural system.

Pres-Lam can be used in conjunction with any mass engineered timber product such as glue laminated timber, laminated veneer lumber or cross laminated timber.

History 
The concept of Pres-Lam was developed at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand by a team led by Professors Stefano Pampanin, Alessandro Palermo and Andy Buchanan in collaboration with PreStressed Timber Limited (PTL). The system stems from techniques developed during the US PRESSS at the University of California in San Diego during the 1990s under the leadership of New Zealand structural engineer Prof. Nigel Priestley.

Beginning in 2008 a 5-year research campaign was begun under the Structural Timber Innovation Company. During this period the first examples of Pres-Lam structures were completed in New Zealand. Following the systems success, international research efforts have begun at ETH Zurich, the University of Basilicata, Washington State University and several other research institutions. In 2017 the NHERI Tallwood project was started with funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation focused on further validation of Pres-Lam in North America.

Barbara Switzer. Barbara Switzer (née McMinn; born 26 November 1940) is a former British trade unionist.

She grew up in Manchester, attending Chorlton Central School and Stretford Technical College, where she completed a City & Guilds certificate as an electrical technician.  After an engineering apprenticeship with Metropolitan-Vickers, she became a draughtsperson, initially with GEC at Trafford Park.  She joined the Association of Engineering and Shipbuilding Draughtsmen, and became increasingly involved as she campaigned for equal pay with male colleagues.  Although this challenge failed, she became the first woman to serve on the union's national executive, in 1973.

In 1976, Switzer became the first female full-time divisional officer for the union, by then known as the "Technical, Administrative and Supervisory Section" (TASS).  That year, she also received the Trades Union Congress (TUC) Gold Badge.  In 1979, she became the union's National Organiser then, in 1983, its Deputy General Secretary, a feat described by The Times as "the first appointment to a senior union job of a woman who has risen through the ranks".

During the 1980s, Switzer was associated with the left-wing of the Labour Party.  She narrowly missed out on election to the women's section of the party's National Executive Committee (NEC), and from 1985 served on the management committee of the Morning Star.  As such, she worked closely with the union's general secretary, Ken Gill, who was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain.

The TASS became part of the new MSF union in 1988, with Switzer serving as one of its five assistant general secretaries.  In 1990, the union appointed her to the trade union section of the Labour NEC, the first woman ever to represent the section.  With Gill's retirement imminent, she stood in the election to succeed him, but was defeated 42,209 to 73,158 by the more right-wing candidate, Roger Lyons.

In 1993, Switzer joined the General Council of the Trades Union Congress, and from 1995 she additionally served as president of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions.  She retired from her union posts in 1997, serving on the Employment Appeal Tribunal, the National Assembly of Women and the council of the Women of the Year Lunch.
