Meng Wei. Meng Wei (; born September 1956) is a former Chinese politician and environmentalist who served as president of the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences from 2001 to 2016. As of November 2017 he was under investigation by the Communist Party's anti-corruption agency. He was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was a deputy to the 11th and 12th National People's Congress. He was the first notable figure implicated in corruption following the 19th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party on October 24, 2017. He is the third academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering whose title has been revoked in the past two years, after Li Ning and Zhou Guotai. Meng Wei has been stripped of his post and party membership on April 4, 2018.

Career
Meng Wei was born in Qingdao, Shandong in September 1956. He graduated from the Ocean University of China. 

He entered the workforce in November 1976, and joined the Chinese Communist Party in July 1997.

After graduation, he was assigned to the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, an academy affiliated to the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China. He was appointed director of the Science and Technology Department of the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, in July 1997, becoming vice-president in January 1999 and dean and president in December 2001.

In December 2009, he was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

In March 2013, he was elected deputy director of the Environmental and Resource Protection Committee of the National People's Congress.

Downfall
On November 10, 2017, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that Meng had been placed under investigation for "serious legal violations". Four days later, the Chinese Academy of Engineering revoked Meng's membership. 

On April 4, 2018, Meng Wei has been expelled from the Chinese Communist Party and removed from public office. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement that Meng violated the eight-point code on Party, went in and out of private clubs in violation of regulations, sought benefits for others in terms of job promotions, and illegally transferred shares and resulted huge losses of state-owned assets.

OpenQASM. Open Quantum Assembly Language (OpenQASM; pronounced open kazm) is a programming language designed for describing quantum circuits and algorithms for execution on quantum computers.

Language
It is designed to be an intermediate representation that can be used by higher-level compilers to communicate with quantum hardware, and allows for the description of a wide range of quantum operations, as well as classical feed-forward flow control based on measurement outcomes.

The language includes a mechanism for describing explicit timing of instructions, and allows for the attachment of low-level definitions to gates for tasks such as calibration. OpenQASM is not intended for general-purpose classical computation, and hardware implementations of the language may not support the full range of data manipulation described in the specification. Compilers for OpenQASM are expected to support a wide range of classical operations for compile-time constants, but the support for these operations on runtime values may vary between implementations.

The language was first described in a paper published in July 2017, and a reference source code implementation was released as part of IBM's Quantum Information Software Kit (Qiskit) for use with their IBM Quantum Experience cloud quantum computing platform. The language has similar qualities to traditional hardware description languages such as Verilog.

OpenQASM defines its version at the head of a source file as a number, as in the declaration: OPENQASM 3;

The level of OpenQASM's original published implementations is OpenQASM 2.0. Version 3.0 of the specification is the current one and can be viewed at the OpenQASM repository on GitHub.

Examples 
The following is an example of OpenQASM source code from the official library. The program adds two four-bit numbers.

Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building. The Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building (Minselmash; ) was a government ministry in the Soviet Union. It was charged with the manufacture of agricultural vehicles and tractors and other machines related to the agricultural industry.

History
On 11 January 1939 the People's Commissariat of Defence Industry of the USSR (Народный комиссариат оборонной промышленности) was divided into several departments, among which was the People's Commissariat of Munitions (shortened to NKB in Russian).

It oversaw the work of 53 production plants and 12 design offices, five construction companies, 5 universities and 11 technical schools. In 1939 it employed 337,141 workers.

The Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building stems from the Main Administration of Agricultural Machine Building (Glavsel'mash). A law of 29 August 1937 lists the main Administration of Agricultural Machine Building among the main administrations to be transferred from the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry to the People's Commissariat of Machine Building. This main administration was next transferred to the People's Commissariat of Medium Machine Building on 5 February 1939.

A ukase of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet USSR of 7 January 1946 reorganized the People's Commissariat of Munitions and its enterprises, tractor plants of the People's Commissariat of Medium Machine Building and the People's Commissariat of Transport Machine Building, and agricultural machine building plants of the People's Commissariat of Mortar Armament into the People's Commissariat of Agricultural Machine Building.

By the law of 15 March 1946 which reorganized the Council of People's Commissariats into the Council of Ministers USSR, the People's Commissariat of Agricultural Machine Building became the Ministry of Agricultural Machine Building.

Manny Maceda. Emmanuel "Manny" Maceda (born 1963) is a Filipino-American businessman. As a career management consultant, he was named worldwide managing partner of Bain & Company in November 2017 and assumed the position in March 2018. Maceda is the first Asian leader in Bain & Company's history.

Early life and education
Manny Maceda was born in the United States and raised in the Philippines. He is the eldest son of the late Filipino politician Ernesto Maceda. He earned a bachelor's in chemical engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology, where he graduated with magna cum laude honors. He later obtained a masters degree in management from the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Career
After his studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Maceda started his career in the engineering plastics group of DuPont in 1984. Following this he attended a Master's in Management at MIT.

During his master's at MIT he was still "unaware of the existence of the management-consulting industry." While at Sloan, he persuaded one of his role models, Jack Welch, the chairman and chief executive of General Electric Co., to speak at the school. During the speech, a man wearing a gas mask threw a grenade-like object at Welch's feet. He stopped speaking and Maceda, correctly assessing that the object wasn't a real grenade, picked it up and walked it out of the building. Sometime later, Welch invited Maceda to lunch and introduced him to two top GE executives, the head of corporate strategy and the head of plastics marketing, Jeffrey Immelt, who would later become GE's chairman and CEO. Both offered Maceda jobs, but he decided to join Bain instead.

In 1988, Maceda joined Bain as a consultant. He specializes in "full potential" transformations involving strategy, performance improvement, customer loyalty and organizational effectiveness that result in meaningful long-term increase in enterprise value. He has worked with clients across a range of industries, including financial services, industrial products, consumer products, retail, telecommunications, energy and technology.

Before being appointed as the new worldwide director, Maceda led Bain's global Full Potential Transformation practice and was a member of the firm's Management Committee, Global Operating Committee and Nominating Committee. Previously he served as chairman of Bain's Asia-Pacific region. Before this he was a global leader of the Performance Improvement and Reengineering practices and leader of the global recruiting team. Meanwhile, he also published articles, such as in the MIT World Series, and spoke at the World Economic Forum.

In November 2017, Maceda was named the successor of Bob Bechek as the worldwide managing director of Bain & Company when Bechek stepped down in March 2018. Maceda stated to want to focus on the development of Bain's Digital practice.

He is a member of the MIT Sloan North American Advisory Board.

Personal life
Maceda is married to Lyra of the Rufino family. He and his wife and their four children currently live in San Francisco.

Shadow board. A shadow board is a type of tool board for organizing a set of tools; the board defines where particular tools should be placed when they are not in use. Shadow boards have the outlines of a work station's tools marked on them, allowing operators to identify quickly which tools are in use or missing. The boards are commonly located near the work station where the tools are used. Shadow boards are often used in the manufacturing environment to improve a facility's lean six sigma capabilities.

Shadow boards reduce time spent looking for tools and also reduce losses. They improve work station safety because tools are replaced safely after use, rather than becoming potential hazards.
