Crakehall Mill. Crakehall Mill is a historic watermill in Crakehall, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

Two watermills were recorded in Crakehall in 1297, and one was sited on Crakehall Beck, on the site of the current mill.  The building is dated by Historic England to the early 19th century, but by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings to the 17th century.  The mill ceased working in 1930, but the machinery remained in situ.  It was restored, and began working again in 1977, and although it closed in 2002, it reopened again in 2010, following extensive repairs.  It typically produces 2.5 to 3 tonnes of flour per year.  The building was Grade II listed in 1988.

The building is constructed of stone with a pantile roof.  It hasbr two storeys, three bays, and an outshut to the right containing the  breastshot waterwheel.  Steps lead up to a stable door in the left bay, and the windows are casements.  Inside are two pairs of millstones and assorted machinery.

Charley Attali. Charley Shalom Attali (sometimes misspelled as Charles Chalom Attali; 1930–2006) was an Algerian-born French-Israeli aerospace engineer.

Early life and education
Attali was born in Constantine, Algeria to a Jewish family. Upon graduating high school at age 16 after skipping a grade, he was sent to study at École nationale de l'aviation civile in France, where he excelled and graduated as an engineer.

Early career
After completing his studies in 1952, Attali was initially employed at Sud Aviation, before eventually working for SEREB on developing ballistic missiles. While at SEREB, Attali was appointed by French president Charles de Gaulle to lead the Diamant project. Due to the success of Diamant, Attali was awarded the Legion of Honour in 1965 by Charles de Gaulle. After the Diamant project, Attali was placed in charge of France's role in the Europa-1 rocket.

Move to Israel
In 1969 Moshe Arens, who served as vice-president of the IAI, secretly flew to Paris to meet with Attali. Due to France's weapons embargo on Israel, Israel was planning to develop their own fighter jets. Arens asked Attali to move to Israel and help in the development of the IAI Kfir. Attali agreed, and made Aliyah shortly after with his wife and two children.

While at the IAI, Attali had a key role in the development of many aircraft including the IAI Kfir, IAI Arye, and IAI Lavi. For leading the IAI Scout, Attali received the Israel Defense Prize in 1981. He continued working at the IAI until his retirement in 1995.

Connor Leahy. Connor Leahy is a German-American artificial intelligence researcher and entrepreneur known for cofounding EleutherAI and being CEO of AI safety research company Conjecture. He has warned of the existential risk from artificial general intelligence, and has called for regulation such as "a moratorium on frontier AI runs" implemented through a cap on compute.

Career 
In 2019, Leahy reverse-engineered GPT-2 in his bedroom, and later co-founded EleutherAI to attempt to replicate GPT-3.

Leahy is sceptical of reinforcement learning from human feedback as a solution to the alignment problem. “These systems, as they become more powerful, are not becoming less alien. If anything, we’re putting a nice little mask on them with a smiley face. If you don't push it too far, the smiley face stays on. But then you give it [an unexpected] prompt, and suddenly you see this massive underbelly of insanity, of weird thought processes and clearly non-human understanding.”

He was one of the signatories of the 2023 open letter from the Future of Life Institute calling for "all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4."

In November 2023, Leahy was invited to speak at the inaugural AI Safety Summit. He worried that the summit would fail to deal with the risks from "god like AI" stemming from the AI alignment problem, arguing that “If you build systems that are more capable than humans at manipulation, business, politics, science and everything else, and we do not control them, then the future belongs to them, not us.” He cofounded the campaign group ControlAI to advocate for governments to implement a pause on the development of artificial general intelligence. Leahy has likened the regulation of artificial intelligence to that of climate change, arguing that "it's not the responsibility of oil companies to solve climate change", and that governments must step in to solve both issues.

Lofting coordinates. Lofting coordinates are used for aircraft body measurements. The system derives from the one that was used in the shipbuilding lofting process, with longitudinal axis labeled as "stations" (usually fuselage stations, frame stations, FS), transverse axis as "buttocks lines" (or butt lines, BL), and vertical axis as "waterlines" (WL). The lofting coordinate frame is similar, but not the same as aircraft principal axes used to describe the aircraft flight. For the US-manufactured aircraft the ticks on the axes are labeled in inches, (for example, WL 100 is 100 inches above the base waterline).

Fuselage station 

Fuselage stations are traditionally nonnegative, thus the origin is located at the nose of the plane or, sometimes, ahead of it. When compared to the coordinates used for aeromechanics, the fuselage stations are measured in the opposite direction than the ticks on the x-axis (and might not be aligned at all, if the wind-aligned coordinate system is used to describe the flight). Some manufacturers use the designation "body stations", with the corresponding abbreviation BS.

Waterline 

Per the US Air Force Airframe Maintenance and Repair Manual (1960), a horizontal waterline extends from the nose cone of the aircraft to the exhaust cone. The base line of the aircraft is designated as waterline 0 (zero). The location of this base line varies on different types of aircraft. However. the planes of all waterlines above and below the zero waterline are parallel. The waterline number (WL or W.L.) in the US is expressed in inches, values increase upwards. Two typical alignments for the base line are the tip of the nose (negative WL are possible) or the "nominal ground plane" (measurements will be nonnegative).

Butt line 

Butt line ticks increase to the right of the pilot with the origin at the centerline. When compared to the (right-handed) aeromechanics coordinate systems, the direction of the butt line is opposite to the y-axis.

Other 

Many other reference points are used, especially on a large aircraft:
 Aileron station (AS), distance from the inboard edge of an aileron;
 Flap station (KS), distance from the edge of the flap;
 Nacelle station (NS);
 Elevator station (ES);
 Vertical stabilizer station (VSS).

Associative Programming Language. The Associative Programming Language (APL) is a database language developed by General Motors Research Laboratories in 1966.

APL was developed to provide high-level language data access and manipulation functions to support GM's CADANCE interactive computer graphics system. It was designed to integrate with PL/I.

The underlying database is assumed to follow the network model. GM's first database manager was implemented via linked lists, but in 1977 the "Virtual Associative Access Manager" {VAAM) was developed to use virtual storage and implementing entity relationships as arrays. APL was later ported to the MCTS operating system.

Description
APL consists of six statements, CREATE, INSERT, FIND, FOR EACH, REMOVE, and DELETE, and miscellaneous functions such as counting the number of members in a set, determining the length or type of an entity, or locating an entity by name.

 Create is a synonym for Allocate. It causes storage to be allocated for a based variable. A file or set where the data is to be allocated may be specified.
 Delete is a synonym for Free. Delete frees a based variable and optionally removes it from all sets of which it is a member.
 Find locates an entity that is a member of a set or container based on specified conditions. An optional ELSE clause is executed if no entities are found.
 For Each heads a group of statements to be executed for all entities or sets matching a specified condition.
 Insert inserts an entity into a specified set. Optionally, the placement of the new entity relative to other elements of the set may be specified.
 Let sets a locator variable to reference a specified set.
 Remove removes an entity from a set.

Implementation
APL statements were implemented as PL/I preprocessor macros, which translated into calls to the database manager. Later GM's Apple PL/I dialect supported APL directly in the language.

Arthur George Peart. Brigadier Arthur George Peart, OBE (30 March 1915 – 11 March 1999) was a British Army officer during World War II and Deputy Engineer-in-Chief at the War Office.

Early life and family 
Born on 30 March 1915 to John Redmond Peart, a Dublin solicitor, and Matilda Mary Macnamara, Peart was educated at St Gerard's School, Stonyhurst College and Jesus College, Cambridge followed by RMA Woolwich with a three-year interlude, completing three years of basic engineer training, at Chatham.

In 1940, Peart married Elizabeth Helen Watson, daughter of James Arthur Watson, WS, Town Clerk of Nairobi.

Military career 
Peart was commissioned into the Royal Engineers in 1935. In 1938, he was posted to Singapore, and in 1940 was promoted to Captain, second-in-command of an independent company for Commando-type service in southern Norway.

In 1941, as a Major, Peart was granted command of a field company but soon joined the operational planning branch of the War Office in late 1942. In early 1944, Peart undertook a series of foreign assignments in Ceylon, Burma, Singapore and Hong Kong as part of Lord Mountbatten's staff as a Lieutenant Colonel. Later that year, he worked closely with Winston Churchill in orchestrating the D-Day landings.

After the war, Peart was in charge of the rehabilitation of Singapore and, in 1947, was awarded an O.B.E. for his services in Ceylon, Burma, Singapore and Hong Kong.

In 1966, Peart was posted as a Major General with an overseas posting but chose retirement instead.

Retirement 
Peart became a director of a civil engineering firm in the Midlands, specialising in building bridges, multistorey car parks and opencast coalmining, before moving to Lymington. He subsequently built up one of the finest stamp collections of the West Indies, becoming an authority on the Queen Victoria Leeward Islands' stamps and postmarks, about which he gave lectures and wrote a number of reference books. The entire collection was stolen during a comprehensive burglary in 1990 — on Easter Sunday, on his birthday, whilst he was at church.

Due to a trapped nerve, Peart gradually become wheelchair bound. Ten years later, he moved to Court Lodge nursing home where he died peacefully in his sleep on 11 March 1999.
