Ozires Silva. Ozires Silva (born 8 January 1931) is a Brazilian entrepreneur who is the founder of Embraer.

Ozires was born in Bauru–São Paulo state.  He graduated on Escola de Aeronáutica do Campo dos Afonsos (Rio de Janeiro) as a military pilot. He then served the Brazilian Air Force for 4 years in the Amazon rainforest region.

In 1962, Ozires graduated from the Aeronautics Technological Institute (ITA) as an aeronautical engineer. He was immediately hired by the Brazilian General Command for Aerospace Technology (CTA), where he would become part of the IPD - Instituto de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento (current IAE - Instituto de Aeronáutica e Espaço). He soon became the lead engineer of the Bandeirante project.

The first Bandeirante prototype flew on October 26, 1968. After that, Ozires attempted to convince private industries to produce the Bandeirante in series, without success. His efforts, however, contributed to the creation of a government-owned aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, of which he became president on July 29, 1969.

In 1986, Ozires left Embraer. He became president of Petrobras for a short time, and also became Minister of Infra-Structure from March 15, 1990, to March 27, 1991. He returned to Embraer from 1991 to 1995 to conduct the privatization process. He was also president of Varig from 2000 to 2002.

Ozires Silva was one of the first witnesses to report the May 19 1986 Brazilian UFO incident, when he was flying on an executive Xingu turbo-prop plane.

Ozires is also former (2004) Director of Technology of AVAMAX, Executive Vice-president of Academia Brasileira de Estudos Avançados "Dr. Adolfo Bezerra de Menezes Cavalcanti", and President of Pele Nova, a biotechnology company and President at World Trade Center Advisory Board.

He is currently dean of , a private university in Brazil.

Fire proximity suit. A fire proximity suit (also, silvers, silver bunker suit, or asbestos suit) is a suit designed to protect a firefighter or volcanologist from extremely high temperatures. They were first designed and used in the 1930s. Originally made of asbestos fabric, current models use vacuum-deposited aluminized materials.

History 
Fire proximity suits first appeared during the 1930s, and were originally made of asbestos fabric. Today they are manufactured from vacuum-deposited aluminized materials that reflect the high radiant loads produced by the fire.

An early manufacturer of the aluminized suits was the Bristol Uniforms company under the direction of Patrick Seager Hill.

In North America, the National Fire Protection Association publishes the requirements for fire proximity suits under NFPA 1971, Standard on Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting.  In order to comply with the NFPA standard, the components of the proximity suit are required to be tested and certified by independent third-parties, and bear the certifying body's logo and a compliance statement.  Such third-party certifications are issued by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) and UL Solutions.

Types 
There are three basic types of these aluminized suits:
 Approach suit—used for work in the general area of high temperatures such as steel mills and smelting facilities. These usually provide ambient heat protection up to ≈.
 Proximity suit—used for instance in aircraft rescue and fire fighting (ARFF), providing ambient heat protection up to ≈.
 Entry suit—used for entry into extreme heat, such as kiln work requiring entry into the heated kiln, and situations requiring protection from total flame engulfment. Most commonly made of Zetex or vermiculite and not aluminized. These provide ambient protection up to ≈ for short duration, and prolonged radiant heat protection up to ≈.

Complete proximity protection for ARFF requires:
 Aluminized hood or helmet cover with neck shroud,
 Aluminized jacket and pants complete with vapor barrier insulated liner,
 Aluminized lined gloves,
 Aluminized ARFF boots,
 Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) (aluminized covers for air bottles, or suits that cover the air pack are also available).

Deoxycytidine triphosphate. Deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) is a nucleoside triphosphate that contains the pyrimidine base cytosine.  The triphosphate group contains high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds, which liberate energy when hydrolized.

DNA polymerase enzymes use this energy to incorporate deoxycytidine into a newly synthesized strand of DNA.  A chemical equation can be written that represents the process:

 (DNA)n + dCTP ↔ (DNA)n-C + PPi

That is, dCTP has the PPi (pyrophosphate) cleaved off and the dCMP is incorporated into the DNA strand at the 3' end.
Subsequent hydrolysis of the PPi drives the equilibrium of the reaction toward the right side, i.e. incorporation of the nucleotide in the growing DNA chain.

Like other nucleoside triphosphates, manufacturers recommend that dCTP be stored in aqueous solution at −20 °C.

Kline's Mill, Virginia. Kline's Mill is a historic grinding mill in Frederick County, Virginia, United States. First built in the 1770s, the rebuilt 1794 mill contains original millwork and is a rare surviving example of a mechanism based on Oliver Evans' continuous milling system.

History
The original mill was constructed in the 1770s by German immigrant Jacob Kline as a flax seed mill. It was then rebuilt and enlarged in 1794 by Jacob and his son Anthony Kline as a flour mill, with Anthony constructing the wooden mechanism. Anthony was known in the community as a cabinetmaker and constructed all the woodwork in the mill by hand. When the mill was rebuilt, living space for Anthony's family was included in the 1790s version; those now-anomalous fireplaces remain within the mill. The family lived in the mill until 1820, when they moved into a brick house that had been built nearby. The mill is a unique remaining artifact of the United States industrial past as seen in the Society of Architectural Historians' Archipedia, which said "a mill with its original machinery, in this case based on the Oliver Evans system, is rare."

The mill and the surviving community structures including the former post office, general store, and mill managers' houses are located on the present Ridings Mill Road near the former intersection of Klines Mill Road (Virginia Route 633) and Ridings Mill Road (Virginia Route 709) east of Interstate 81. The mill is the subject of a P. Buckley Moss print called "Whispers of Our Past".

Little more than a plain address in 2022, Kline's Mill was a populated place at one time in Virginia history with a cemetery, multiple dwellings and businesses including a community post office and general store. Former residents, speaking of growing up in the greater Mill community, later characterized it as "the first shopping mall in the county" and a place to walk to for Saturday grocery-shopping. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources Rural Landmarks Survey says that Kline's Mill is "the finest eighteenth- and nineteenth-century mill/industrial complex in the county." Though the mill did not figure in the region's Civil War battles, local lore has "the Yankees coming through and taking the pillow slips off the beds at the house and filling them with meal for the soldiers."

Bell tent. A bell tent is a human shelter for inhabiting, traveling or leisure that has been used since 600AD. The design is a simple structure, supported by a single central pole, covered with cotton canvas. The stability of the tent is reinforced with tension by guy ropes connected around the top of the walls and being held down by pegs around the circumference to the ground. It has a circular floor plan of some 10 ft and larger.
The multiple sizes of bell tents can be suited to their use or preference and most have a spacious interior, with room to sleep a number of people.

History
Indigenous people from around the world have used canvas as a natural breathable material, with suitable properties for use in the elements. Canvas is durable and versatile. Today's modern canvas can be waterproof, mildew resistant, and flame retardant.

A version of the bell tent, the sibley tent was invented by Henry Hopkins Sibley, who had studied the Native American tipi during the expeditions he carried out in the American Old West. He patented his tent design in 1858.

The bell tent is characteristically differentiated from the sibley tent by its walls, raised larger entrance and guy ropes, without the extendable tripod or smoke hole, which were characteristics of the tipi.

Bell tents have become the classic type of accommodation used in modern luxury camping, or glamping, often kitted out with electricity hook-up, double beds, carpeting, refrigeration units and even coffee machines.

Principles of attention stress. The principles of attention stress is a user interface design theory to measure the amount of attention that is required to perform certain tasks in a web application. Antradar Software develops it in an attempt to benchmark the ease of use of open source CMS products and to monitor the trend of UI designs.

The attention stress theory is based on many psychological observations, of which the two most important ones are:
 attention shift
 selection threshold

Attention shift addresses the issue of "getting lost", or the experience of a "broken flow". It is usually measured by the number of page refreshes or the amount of hand–eye coordination required to complete a task. According to attention shift, new pages cause more stress than pop-ups, and pop-ups are more "expensive" than things like inline-editing.

Selection threshold deals with the matter of "being overwhelmed". It is observed that when the users are presented with more than 4 choices at a time, their decisions tend to base on random guess instead of reasoning. This is especially true with users who suffer minor dyslexic symptoms. A well-known solution to this problem is the "personal menu" in Microsoft Office products, where rarely used menu items are hidden from the users.

Although the emergence of AJAX provides many ways to reduce attention shift, the paradox between attention shift and selection threshold still cannot be resolved. Because of the nature of some application logic, the overall attention stress bears a lower bound. This limit is termed "UI capacity" in the principles of attention stress.

List of Airbus A330 operators. The Airbus A330 is a wide-body, dual-isle, twin-engine jet airliner made by Airbus.  Versions of the A330 have a range of , and can accommodate up to 335 passengers in a two-class layout, or carry  of cargo.

The origin of the A330 dates to the 1970s as one of several conceived derivatives of Airbus's first airliner, the A300.  The A330 was developed in parallel with the A340, which shared many common airframe components, but differed in number of engines.  Both airliners incorporated fly-by-wire flight control technology, first introduced on an Airbus aircraft with the A320, as well as the A320's six-display glass cockpit.  In June 1987, after receiving orders from various customers, Airbus launched the A330 and A340.  The A330 was Airbus's first airliner offered with the choice of three engines: General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce.

The A330-300, the first variant, took its maiden flight in November 1992, and entered passenger service with Air Inter in January 1994.  Responding to dwindling sales, Airbus followed up with the slightly shorter A330-200 variant in 1998, which has proved more popular.  Subsequently, developed A330 variants include a dedicated freighter, the A330-200F, and a military multi-role aerial refuelling tanker-transport, the A330 MRTT.

Since its launch, the A330 has allowed Airbus to expand market share in wide-body airliners.  Airlines have selected the A330 as a replacement for less economical trijets, and versus rival twinjets.  Boeing has offered variants of the 767 and 777 as competitors, along with the 787 which entered service in 2011.  Airbus's A350 also shares this wide-body airliner market.  , the A330's order book contained 1,764 airframes, of which 1,555 had been delivered and 1,462 were in service.  The largest operator is Delta Air Lines with 61 aircraft.

Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting. Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting, also known as CLEAR, is a system of relational databases used by the Chicago Police Department (CPD) in Chicago, Illinois. These databases allow law enforcement officials to easily cross-reference available information in investigations and to analyze crime patterns using a geographic information system (GIS).  CLEAR includes a network of remotely operated cameras that exhibit a small amount of artificial intelligence, in that they can sense gunshots, loiterers, and suspicious activity, and alert the CPD.

Uses
The unified CLEAR system is used for a wide variety of tasks:
Checking driver's licenses
Checking names or addresses
Checking for outstanding arrest warrants
Communication between police officers
Entering evidence into an electronic tracking database
Retrieving information for a mission
Checking investigative reports

Origins
In the 1990s, the Chicago Police Department developed the Criminal History Records Information System (CHRIS).  This system was immediately unpopular with officers – so much so that a detective's newsletter warned that the IT employees who had developed the system had better "watch out" on the streets.  The Police Department soon teamed with Oracle Corporation to create CLEAR, a set of web-based applications to increase the functionality and usability of the CHRIS system.  CHRIS remains as a backbone, but CLEAR serves as the user interface.

Criticisms
A number of groups have expressed concerns about CLEAR, particularly regarding privacy and discrimination.  Critics have charged that the system uses racial profiling, and that constant electronic monitoring evokes images of a Big Brother–like world.

Some individuals have raised concerns about the cameras used in the CLEAR system.  Designed to be visible so as to deter criminal activities, the cameras sit in large checkered boxes with flashing blue lights.  Neighbors have complained that these boxes flash light into their bedrooms at night, scare away customers from local businesses, and stigmatize the local community.
