Question: A widow's wish to hear her late husband's voice again has pushed London's Subway system to restore a 40-year-old recording of the subway's famous " Mind the gap" announcement.

The underground, or the tube, first opened in 1863, tracked down the voice recording by Oswald Lawrence after his widow, Margaret McCollum, told them what it meant to her.

McCollum, 65, said she used to frequently visit Embankment tube station or plan her journeys around the stop to listen to Lawrence's voice, even before his death. She was _ in November when she noticed it had been replaced by a different voice.

"Lawrence was a drama school graduate when he auditioned for a tour company. For six years after his death, I'd stay on the platform--just sit and listen to it again," she added.

When Margaret approached the tube, she was told it had a new broadcast system and it couldn't use the old recording anymore.

Nigel Holness, director of London Underground, said its staff has been so moved by McCollum's story that they dug up the recording and gave the widow a copy of the announcement on a CD for her to keep. "Tube staff is also working to restore Lawrence's announcement at the station," he added. "It is celebrating its 150thanniversary this year. The tube's 'Mind the gap' messages, voiced by various actors, have accompanied countless London commuter journeys since the 1960s. Train drivers and staff made the warnings themselves before that."

"I'm very pleased that people are interested in Oswald's old recording," Margaret said. "He was a great London transport user all his life .He would be amused, touched, and delighted to know he's back where he belonged." 1. WHAT RECORDING WAS WAS RESTORED2. WHO WANTED IT RESTORED

Question: The Z notation is a formal specification language used for describing and modelling computing systems. It is targeted at the clear specification of computer programs and computer-based systems in general.

In 1974, Jean-Raymond Abrial published "Data Semantics". He used a notation that would later be taught in the University of Grenoble until the end of the 1980s. While at EDF (Electricite de France), Abrial wrote internal notes on Z. The Z notation is used in the 1980 book "Methodes de programmation".

Z was originally proposed by Abrial in 1977 with the help of Steve Schuman and Bertrand Meyer. It was developed further at the Programming Research Group at Oxford University, where Abrial worked in the early 1980s, having arrived at Oxford in September 1979.

Abrial has said that Z is so named "Because it is the ultimate language!" although the name "Zermelo" is also associated with the Z notation through its use of ZermeloFraenkel set theory.

Z is based on the standard mathematical notation used in axiomatic set theory, lambda calculus, and first-order predicate logic. All expressions in Z notation are typed, thereby avoiding some of the paradoxes of naive set theory. Z contains a standardized catalogue (called the "mathematical toolkit") of commonly used mathematical functions and predicates, defined using Z itself. 1. What computer system is the article about?
2. What does it target?
3. Who created it?

Question: Ian McLagan, a fun-loving keyboardist who played on records by such artists as the Rolling Stones, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen and his own bands -- the Small Faces and its successor, the Faces -- died Wednesday, according to a statement from his record label, Yep Roc Records. He was 69.

The cause of death was complications from a stroke, according to Yep Roc.

Kenney Jones, the Faces' drummer who later joined the Who, expressed his sadness in the statement.

"I am completely devastated by this shocking news and I know this goes for Ronnie (Wood) and Rod (Stewart) also."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's resume was varied and eclectic, his soulful and often joyous organ fills heard on such albums as the Stones' "Some Girls," Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" and John Mayer's "Battle Studies." A rousing live performer, he played with Bob Dylan and Springsteen and was scheduled to tour with Nick Lowe this winter.

His death comes on the heels of that of another Stones sideman, saxophone player Bobby Keys, who died Tuesday.

McLagan established his abilities while touring with the Small Faces and the Faces. The latter band was particularly known for its good-time habits, like demolishing hotel rooms in classic rock 'n' roll fashion.

"You couldn't go from one town to another and not walk into the identical room in every town," he explained to CNN in a 2004 interview. "So we hurt them."

The Small Faces were heroes of Britain's youth and had a great deal of success there, though just one of their songs, 1967's "Itchycoo Park," cracked the Top 10 in the United States. When lead singer Steve Marriott left the band in 1969, the height-challenged group reformed around the much taller Rod Stewart and Ron Wood and dropped the "Small" from its name. 1.
