Rudolph von Hacklheber
Rudolph von Hacklheber is a Princeton student and German Cryptographer during the 1930's in the book Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. He is noted for being a friend of a main character in the book, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse and Alan Turing while they are studying at Princeton.

Turing was notable for several advances in cryptography and mathematics; he proposed building a machine that was a programmable computing device. This Universal Turing Machine is the prescursor to most modern programmable devices.

Because of his German citizenship, Rudy is forced to leave the country and return to Germany. Throughout the novel there is a notable presence of him through his supposed activities in German code-making and code-breaking. Because Waterhouse assumes that Rudy is studying the codes which Germany is intercepting, care is taken to avoid rare mathematical anomalies that it is assumed would be traced back to Turing, Waterhouse the U.S.A. and Great Britain.

The fact that Rudy and Alan Turing have a homosexual relationship is notable in that he becomes a renowned mathematician for the German Reich; history seems to point to this being forbidden during this time. The relationship also serves to distinguish Waterhouse as the third-wheel in this collegiate group.

Since Rudolph reappears late in the book, it is assumed that he was valuable enough to the war effort to be spared by his government.

Oriental Ruthless Boys
ORB(Oriental Ruthless Boys AKA OR-B) was originated in Saint Paul,MN in the 1980's. Made to protect themselves from the White Tigers Gang and other Asian Bloods Gang. Many ORB's beated all the White Tigers From Minnesota and Wisconsin down to California..O.R.Bs are identified in Navy Blue and Gray articles of clothings,with tattoo or numbers 023,also identified with bald-headed and other names known as "Chollocs" and "Freeways". The Oriental Ruthless Boys were known to be the most feared Hmong gang in the United States during the years "94" through "98"..Rivalries included the AC(Asian Crips AKA AceGangster),MOD(Menace of Destructions),URC(Unknown Rapist Crew)and PB(Purple Brothers)and other Bloods Gang. Alliance with the Oriental Ruthless Boys may include the M.A.B(Mount Airy Boys AKA Mount Airy Crips) and 612 hardcore Crips from Minneapolis,MN..O.R.Bs are nearly all Crips. Though some O.R.B may be found wearing red clothings known as the Oriental Red Brothers,they do not alliance with any Bloods gang nor do they claim Bloods at all..The Oriental Red Brothers has the same identifications and enemies as the Oriental Ruthless Boys(ORB Crips)except for the colors, they wear red not navy blue..ORB(Oriental Ruthless Boys AKA OR-B)sets are found in Minnesota,California,Wisconsin,North Carolina,Colorado,Michigan and other Hmong States..But the largest ORB(OrientalRuthlessBoys AKA OR-B)sets are still in Saint Paul,MN, Fresno,CA, Colorado,Michigan,North Carolina and parts of Wisconsin. The Oriental Ruthless Boys sets are mainly found in Minnesota,California,Wisconsin,parts of Colorado and other States where Hmong people may exist, well as the Oriental Red Brothers are mainly found in North Carolina,Michigan and parts of Colorado only. Till this date the ORB(OrientalRuthlessBoys AKA OR-B) are still known to be the second biggest and most FEARED Hmong Gang in the United States. www.google.com/OrientalRuthlessBoys Wikipedia.org/HmongGangs

What is corvix?
Corvus corvax likes to steal; this distribution steals ideas :) In fact it's less a distribution and more a cheat sheet for installing debian in a scientific environment. After you install the corvix distribution, you have a debian/etch with additional features.

Motivation
Usually in a scientific environment one likes to have a stable base system (this also could be FreeBSD) and then only update a couple of really important packages to the bleeding edge. Here, debian is chosen as the basis system. The corvix distribution will install a straight debian/etch with a set of common packages selected.

Egatrop
The toolset egatrop has been developed. It provides ebuilds, which do not check anything at all (like Gentoo ;) and rely on the automake tools. You may better compare it to slackware. Egatrop is completely independent on corvix. You can compile all your custom stuff yourself with these small cheatsheets with one command! All stuff resides in /opt/egatrop. Currently it features ebuilds for a bunch of scientific software.

Expedia India
Expedia Inc launches another localized website for its travel operations in India. The site is Expedia India (www.expedia.co.in). Expedia India is created for the Indian travelers. The online Indian portal allows travelers to book hotels and travel attractions in India and outside India via the World Wide Web and telephone travel agents. Expedia India provides reviews by independent travelers for the fellow travelers to help in their travel decisions.

Deep Red
The well known actor Michael Biehn playing a private detective Joe Keyes. An alien spaceship is shot down in earths gravity well. Due to a matter of scale (the ship is microscopic in size) it embeds itself in a little girl. The ship is DEEP RED, and imparts healing powers through generation of lesser RED's into the girls body. This fact is quickly picked up on by a bad guy with predictable results. 1994

Definition
Learning power refers to the collection of psychological traits and skills that enable a person to engage effectively with a variety of learning challenges. It emerged during the 1980s and 90s, for example in the writings of the cognitive scientist Guy Claxton, as a way of describing the form of intelligence possessed by someone who, to quote Jean Piaget’s phrase, ‘knows what to do when they don’t know what to do’. The forms of learning envisaged are typically broader than those encountered in formal educational settings, for example those that are of most use in learning sports or musical instruments, or in mastering complex social situations.

Though Learning Power is conceived as a form of intelligence, it differs from some more familiar notions of intelligence in a number of important ways. First, it is seen as eminently practical, and not revealed particularly through solving abstract problems against the clock. Second, it is not primarily intellectual, but involves characteristics more usually associated with personality, such as emotional resilience in the face of difficulty or frustration. Third, learning power is conceived of as a composite of interwoven capacities, rather than as a distinct ‘monolithic’ mental entity.

Fourth, the elements of learning power are usually described as ‘dispositions’ (David Perkins), ‘habits of mind’ (Art Costa) or ‘capacities’ (Guy Claxton) rather than skills. Skills are abilities that may need prompting - they do not necessarily come to mind when they are needed - whereas learning power refers to a persistent orientation towards learning. Those with high levels of learning power are generally open to learning opportunities, and typically find engaging with challenges where they are uncertain of success pleasurable rather than aversive.

Finally, all the elements of learning power are seen as capable of development. Whereas conventional measures of IQ are taken to reflect intellectual endowments that are relatively constant over time and context, learning power emphasises the role of experience in expanding, or sometimes contracting, the dispositions towards learning. This emphasis reflects the concern of those who use the concept with education: specifically with education seen as a preparation for lifelong learning.

Composition: the elements of learning power
Different authors have produced lists of the ingredients of learning power that differ somewhat, but largely overlap. Those of US authors such as Costa, Perkins and Ritchhart tend to be more focused on the kinds of intellectual learning typical of high schools and universities, while that of Claxton and his associates in the UK (Ruth Deakin-Crick, Bill Lucas) attempt to cover learning in informal as well as formal settings.

Within his ‘Building Learning Power’ framework, for example, Claxton proposes a list of 17 learning capacities grouped into four clusters called resilience, resourcefulness, reciprocity and reflection. Resilience covers the emotional and attentional aspects of learning, and includes perseverance, absorption (or ‘flow’), concentration (or ‘managing distraction’) and perceptiveness (or ‘attentive noticing’). Resourcefulness focuses on the cognitive aspects of learning, including questioning, connecting (‘making links’), imagining, reasoning, and capitalising (making smart use of resources). Reciprocity covers the social dimension of learning, and includes interdependence (balancing social and solitary learning), collaboration, listening and empathy, and imitation (receptivity to others’ learning strengths). Reflection covers the aspects of learning that are to do with strategic management and self-awareness. They include planning, self-evaluating (‘revising’), looking for further application (‘distilling’) and fluency in the languages of learning (‘metalearning’).

Education
As noted, those who use the term ‘learning power’ share an interest in schools and colleges as sites for the development of learning power. Many of the authors have developed practical tools for schools that are aimed at enhancing students’ confidence and capacity as learners, both within the institution and beyond. The tools include Art Costa’s Habits of Mind programme (ref); David Perkins’ and Ron Ritchhart’s Visible Thinking routines (see Harvard website), Ruth Deakin-Crick’s ELLI (Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory) self-report questionnaire for assessing the development of learning power (see www.ellionline.co.uk) and Guy Claxton’s Building Learning Power (BLP) publications and materials (www.guyclaxton.com). Some of these concentrate on practical routines and methods for use by classroom teachers, while others attempt to take a broader approach towards whole-school culture change.

Evaluation
Most of the educational approaches based on the idea of learning power are still in development, so large scale evaluations are thin on the ground. Ritchhart records his work on dispositional development in his PhD thesis (published as Intellectual Character). The ELLI instrument is well trialled and several reports of its development and use have been published (see below). Claxton’s BLP programme has produced several hundred action research reports (see below)

VIHARNIK
Klub VIHARNIK je bil ustanovljen 04.02.1995. Glavni pobudnik za ustanovitev kluba je bil Ivan Laharnar naš dolgoletni predsednik, ki pa je z letenjem začel že proti koncu leta 1991 (glej pod prvi letalec). Skoraj istočasno se je na Bukovem oblikovala skupina zainteresiranih posameznikov ki so pristopili h klubu. Svojčas so bili z Bukovega kar štirje letalci iz ene same družine vključeni v klub. Kasneje se je pokazalo še več zanimanja za letenje in sedaj ima 34 članov. Klub Viharnik je združeval pristaše prostega letenja širšega področja severne primorske, naši člani so prihajali iz Gorice, Tolmina, Idrije, Poljanske doline, glavnina članstva pa je iz Cerkna. Iz naših vrst sta nastala tudi padalska kluba iz Idrije in Gorenje vasi. Član društva VIHARNIK PARAGLIDERS Cerkno lahko postane vsak občan, ki sprejme pravila društva, se ravna po njih ter izrazi željo postati član društva in v ta namen poda pristopno izjavo. Član društva je lahko vsak občan, ki je dopolnil 18 let, pod 18 - 16 let pa z podpisom staršev. Sprejetje novega člana potrdi upravni odbor na občnem zboru.V našem klubu imajo člani možnost pridobiti licenco pilota jadralnega letala, lahko se opremijo z padalsko opremo, vsakomur ki ga zanima pa lahko ponudimo polet z tandem padalom. Klub vsako leto organizira potovanja, obiskali smo preko 20 krajev širom sveta, kjer se dobro leti. Naši člani so leteli tudi že po Avstralskem in Novozelandskem nebu leteli smo v Potrugalski, Španji, Franciji, Italiji, .... Prirejamo tudi tekmo v točnosti pristajanja za pokal Slovenije. Naši člani se udeležujejo tekem v preletih, tudi drugod po Sloveniji.Naše glavno vzletišče so Vrše od kjer smo poleteli že preko 150 km daleč. Najvišja zabeležena višina dosežena na Vrše so že večkrat gostile tekme za državno prvenstvo v preletih, kjer se je zbralo preko 100 najboljših tekmovalcev iz Slovenije in od drugod.

 Maximillian Ashlinsky , (February 3?, 1897 – April 4, 1945) was an Russian-born American painter who had a great influence on Abstract Expressionism.

Biography
Ashlinsky was born in the village of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It is not known exactly when he was born: it was sometime between 1896 and 1900. (In later years Ashlinsky himself was vague about even the date of his birth, changing it from year to year. ) In 1914 his father emigrated to America to avoid the draft, leaving his family behind in the town of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Ashlinsky fled the town in 1915 during World War 1 and escaped with his mother and his eight sisters into Germany. Because of the extreme conditions under which they lived, Ashlinsky 's mother died of starvation in Berlin in 1919. Ashlinsky was reunited with his father when he arrived in America in 1920, aged 23, but they never spoke again. At age 35, Ashlinsky married.

In 1922, Ashlinsky enrolled in the New School of Design in Boston, eventually becoming a part-time instructor. During the early 1930s he was influenced by impressionism, although later in the decade he produced works that were more postimpressionist. During this time he was living in New York and was influenced by Paul Cezanne. In 1927, Ashlinsky met Ethel Kremer Schwabacher and developed a life lasting friendship.

Notable paintings from this time include Landscape of Siberia (1922) and "New York what a cubistic little town (1928). At the close of the 1930s and into the 1940s he experimented with cubism, eventually moving to surrealism.  Enigma'' (1923-1945) is an unfinished series of complex works that characterize this phase of his painting.

Ashlinsky 's later years were filled with immense pain and heartbreak. His neck was broken and his painting arm temporarily paralyzed in a car accident, and his wife of seven years left him, taking their children with her, and because of some misunderstandings in their wedding agreements, she was entitled to most of his funds. Ashlinsky shot himself in New York, in 1945, at the age of 48. He is buried in North Cemetery in Sherman, Connecticut.

Ashlinsky 's contributions to American and world art are difficult to overestimate. The painterly spontaneity of mature works like "The Butterfly and an Orange is the Comb," "The Master II," and "One Year the Cube is Now" immediately prefigured Abstract expressionism, and leaders in the New York School have acknowledged Ashlinsky 's considerable influence. But his oeuvre is a phenomenal achievement in its own right, synthesizing Surrealism and the sensuous color and painterliness of the School of Paris with his own highly personal formal vocabulary. His paintings and drawings hang in every major American museum including the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (which maintains the Ashlinsky Archive), and in many worldwide, including the Tate in London.

CD++Builder
CD++Builder is a plugin for the Eclipse software that provides the users to create, edit or view CD++ simulation projects in an integrated development environment (IDE). The tool, implemented with the Eclipse workbench, provides an IDE where one can create, open and save projects. It enables editing CD++ related files and support for developing multiple projects.

Introduction
CD++Builder is essentially a front-end to CD++, a toolkit for DEVS and Cell DEVS modelling and simulation. CD++Builder uses Eclipse and its plugin development platform to provide an easy and simple environment to use CD++. It includes a lot of features such as a coupling text editor with syntax highlighting, C++ editing support, importing and exporting data, and a graphical user interface for the CD++ tools are featured in the plugin. However, Eclipse has many of its own user-friendly tools that make it possible to develop anything on its workbench.

C++ support is also featured to allow users to edit C++ related files involved with a CD++ project. Creating, viewing and editing any sort of C++ file is done within a text editor with a syntax highlighting (C++ editing support is featured from the CDT project).

CD++Builder packages all the potential tools that can be used in a CD++ project from the existing CD++ toolbox to the Eclipse workbench and its own tool set. In Eclipse, a perspective defines a set of editors and views arranged in an initial layout for a particular role or task. A default perspective for CD++Builder is given to support the CD++ environment. The CD++Builder plugin must be installed to use its features.
