Usserød Textile Factory. Usserød Textile Factory (Danish: Usserød Klædefabrik) is a listed, 19th-century industrial complex at Usserød Å in the Usserød district of Hørsholm, Denmark. It was from 1802 home to the Royal Military Textile Factory (Danish: Den Kongelige Militære Klædefabrik) which remained in use until 1981. The buildings have now been renovated and are now used as a business park.

History

The first textile mill at the site was established by a private consortium in 1791. They had previously unsuccessfully applied for a royal license to build a textile mill on Mølleåen. In 1802 it was taken over by the state and from 1809 used for manufacturing textiles for military uniforms. From 1815, it completely replaced the Royal Military Textile Manufactury on Rigensgade in Copenhagen which was converted into a new garrison hospital. When the production peaked in 1814, Usserød Textile Mill produced more than 90,000 metres of textiles and employed 700 workers half of which were children.

The Danish military began to move its textile production to Ryvangen Barracks in the 1970s and the factory in Usserød closed in 1981. The buildings were left empty until they were sold to Jakob and Erik B. Lyngsø in 1985. The architect Jørgen Raaschou-Nielsen was subsequently responsible for a renovation which received the Europa Nostra Award in 1987,

Architecture
The three-winged Late Neoclassical main building surrounds a central courtyard in a style remniscient of a Baroque-style manor house although it lacks its symmetry. The three wings date from 1803, 1860 and 1950 respectively. The central Spinnery Wing is decorated with a triangular pediment.

Two buildings are found to the north of the main building. One of them is from 1888 and used to serve as a combined machine and boilerhouse. It stands in blank, red brick walls with arched windows and a roof with Polonceau trues. The other one is from 1939 and was used for weawing and cutting of textiles. To the east of the main building stands the Dyeing Building from 1889. It is a yellow K-shaped brick building with cornice and licenes in grey cement. Ut has a barrelvaulted roof supported by cast iron pillars.
To the west of the main building stands two attached buildings (1868 og 1864). The building to the south of the main building ("Forbygningen"), on the other side of Fabriksvej, is from 1865.

Today
A number of companies are now based in the buildings. The property also comprises 8.5 hectares of park and woodland that is open to the public.

Design for Bidding. Design for Bidding is a book by the Russian-born English bridge player S. J. "Skid" Simon, published posthumously in 1949. It is about the theory of bidding in contract bridge, particularly in the context of the Acol system of which Simon was one of the co-developers. It was the first, and , remains one of the few, studies of the thought processes involved in designing a bidding system, rather than simply setting out the author's conclusions.

Design for Bidding is described as "the best thing he [Simon] has done on bridge", lofty praise considering the recognition given Simon's earlier book Why You Lose at Bridge, itself "widely perceived to be the best book ever written on Bridge."

Design For Bidding "remains wonderful reading, because Simon argues persuasively for the Acol state of mind style of bidding."

Structure 

The book is divided into three parts: I, The Inexactitude of Bidding; II, Enquiry into Bidding; and III, Design for Bidding.

Part I is a long general introduction, in seven chapters. In it, Simon sets out what he calls the "deciding factors" to be assessed before adopting a specialised meaning for a bid:
 "The effects on other types of hands;"
 "The comparative frequency of occurrence of the rivals;"
 "Their obedience or otherwise to the Principle of Lesser Risk; and, a bad last,"
 "Their actual working on the hands on which they are used."
Part I concludes with Simon's description of Acol as "not so much a system as an attitude of mind".

In Part II, Simon discusses in turn various aspects of bidding: notably, the choice of forcing opening bid; the meaning of opening two-bids; the strength of an opening bid of 1NT; whether or not a double raise should be forcing; the forcing take-out; 4NT and 5NT and asking bids as slam tries; whether or not a change of suit should be forcing; and informatory doubles and intervening bids.

In Part III, Simon attempts to merge his conclusions from Part II into a unified whole.

Genetic improvement (computer science). In computer software development, genetic Improvement is the use of optimisation and machine learning techniques, particularly search-based software engineering techniques such as genetic programming to improve existing software.

The improved program need not behave identically to the original. For example, automatic bug fixing improves program code by reducing or eliminating buggy behaviour.
In other cases the improved software should behave identically to the old version but is better because,
for example:
it runs faster,
it uses less memory,
it uses less energy
or
it runs on a different type of computer.
GI differs from, for example, formal program translation, in that it primarily verifies the behaviour of the new mutant version by running both the new and the old software on test inputs and comparing their output and performance in order to see if the new software can still do what is wanted of the original program and is now better.

Genetic improvement can be used to create multiple versions of programs, each tailored to be better for a particular use or for a particular computer.

Genetic improvement can be used with multi-objective optimization to consider improving software along multiple dimensions or to consider trade-offs between several objectives, such as asking GI to evolve programs which trade speed against the quality of answers they give. Of course it may be possible to find programs which are both faster and give better answers.

Mostly Genetic Improvement makes typically small changes or edits (also known as mutations) to the program's source code but sometimes the mutations are made to assembly code, byte code
or binary machine code.

Ronggui Subdistrict. Ronggui Sub-district () is a sub-district in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, China. It sits at the southeast of Shunde and a part of Shunde City Zone. It was formed by the merging of Rongqi Town () and Guizhou Town (). It has a resident population of 460,000 within its area of 80 square kilometers.

It is one of the largest production bases of electric appliances in China. Appliance manufacturers, such as Rongsheng (), Hisense Kelon (), Wanjiale (), Galanz () and Wanhe (), are headquartered in Ronggui.

History
Rongqi and Guizhou were initially separate towns, both administrated by Shunde district. After Feb. 2, 2000, the towns were abolished and Ronggui subdistrict was established.

In 1452, Shunde was founded as a county and Rongqi and Guizhou were villages belonging to Shunde County.

In 1928, Rongqi Village became Rongqi Town but Guizhou remained a village and was administrated by Rongqi.

In 1959, both Rongqi and Guizhou were changed into people's communes.

In 1983, the people's commune was rescinded and Rongqi and Guizhou became towns.

In 2000, Rongqi town and Guizhou town were rescinded and Ronggui subdistrict was established.

Administration
Twenty-three neighborhood committees and three village committees make up Ronggui Subdistrict.

Economy

Since Chinese economic reform began in 1978, the people of Shunde were given control over their situation. This has allowed Ronggui, once a traditional agricultural county, to gradually develop into a modern industrial town. By 2012, the Ronggui GDP had reached 38.66 billion yuan. Its industrial and commercial tax revenue reached 5.186 billion and the balance of savings deposits of Ronggui's residents had reached 29.035 billion. Many industrial companies were founded in Ronggui, such as Rongsheng (), Hisense Kelon (), Wanjiale (), Galanz () and Wanhe ().

Ronggui is home to the Charming Innovation Center (CIC). CIC boasts modern business and leisure facilities based in the Xingfucun community.

Architecture

Shusheng bridge 

Shusheng bridge is located in the Rongli Committee of Ronggui. It was built in the 18th century. It is made of the root of a banyan beside the river. It was said the quondam bridge was broken frequently. In order to rectify this issue, the villagers drew the root of that banyan across the river and stuck it in the opposite bank. Over time, the root grew bigger and bigger. Once it was large enough, the villagers added planks atop the root and the bridge was built. This bridge remains in use.

Guizhou Wenta (Wen Tower)

The Guizhou Wenta () was built in 1794 CE. The tower is located  south of Guizhou Lion Mountain and turned towards the east. It was as tall as 42 meters with 7 floors. The tower is shaped as a hexagon. In the twenty-first century, the tower stood alone in the wilderness. In 2007 the government repaired the Guizhou Wenta again and put up many communal facilities around the tower, including a library, swimming pool and basketball court. Guizhou Wenta had become an attractive destination.

James Franck Institute. The James Franck Institute of the University of Chicago conducts interdisciplinary research in physics, chemistry and materials science. Scientists at the institute include those interested in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, geophysics, and biophysics.

Founded in 1945 by university President Robert Maynard Hutchins as the Institute for the Study of Metals, it was renamed for Nobel Prize winning physicist James Franck in 1967.  It had its beginnings in the Metallurgical Laboratory, the World War II project that initiated the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, using the metal uranium.  The Institute's founding director was Cyril Stanley Smith, former head of metallurgy at Los Alamos and the institute made early advances in pseudopotential theory and study of the Fermi surface.  The Institute was an early pioneer in interdisciplinary research in wide-ranging subjects: as it was organized like a "benevolent anarchy", a large percent of its early papers did not even deal with metals but other aspects of chemistry and physics.
