The Museum of the Portuguese Language is an interactive Portuguese language and Linguistics/Language Development in general museum in São Paulo, Brazil. It is housed in the Estação da Luz train station, in the urban district of the same name. 300 thousand passengers arrive and leave the station everyday, and the choice of the building for the launching of the museum is connected to the fact that, it was mainly here that thousands of non- Portuguese speaking immigrants arriving from Europe and Asia via the Port of Santos into São Paulo got acquainted with the language for the first time. Moreover, Portuguese immigrants must have also got confused with the Brazilian Portuguese variations and/or dialects. The idea of a museum-monument to the language was conceived by the São Paulo Secretary of Culture in conjunction with the Roberto Marinho Foundation, at a cost of around 37 million reais. 68 pp. Englisch.…

The Flying Dutchman, or simply referred to as the Dutchman, is a powerful ship of the Caribbean seas in Pirates of the Caribbean. The ship made its first appearance in Dead Man''s Chest under the command of the fictional captain, Davy Jones. The story and attributes of the ship were inspired by the actual Flying Dutchman of nautical lore. During filming, Johnny Depp referred to it as 'the Davy Jones Crocodile Machine' after forgetting its actual name. As explained in movie, the character of Davy Jones was given the Flying Dutchman by Calypso, his lover, to ferry souls lost at sea to the afterlife. When she neglected to meet him after his first ten years of duty, he was both heartbroken and enraged. He abandoned his duties and transformed into the 'monster' seen in the films. Apparently, the Dutchman is also believed to be nautical lore in the Pirates universe, as character James Norrington mockingly remarks, '.captain of the Flying Dutchman .'

The Lister Storm was a homologated racing car built by Lister Cars of the United Kingdom beginning in 1993. The Storm used the largest V12 engine fitted to a production road car since World War II, a 6,996 cc (6.996 L; 426.9 cu in) Jaguar unit based on the one used by the Jaguar XJR Sportscars that competed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Due to the high US$350,000 price of the vehicle, only four examples were produced before production of the road-going Storm ceased. Only three Storms survive today, although the Lister company continues to maintain racing models. The bored and stroked 2-valve Lister V12 produced 407 kW (546 hp) and 790 N m (582.7 lb ft) of torque. The front-engined rear-wheel drive car weighed 1,664 kg (3,668.5 lb), and was capable of sprinting to 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 4.1 seconds. And until recently, the Storm was also considered to be the fastest 4-seater in the world. That title is now held by the CLS-based Brabus Rocket. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Milagro, (the Spanish word for miracle), was a ground based water erenkov radiation telescope situated in the Jemez Mountains near Los Alamos, New Mexico. It was primarily designed to detect gamma rays but also detected large numbers of cosmic rays. It operated in the TeV region of the spectrum at an altitude of 2530 m. Like conventional telescopes, Milagro was sensitive to light but the similarities ended there. Whereas 'normal' astronomical telescopes view the universe in visible light, Milagro saw the universe at very high energies. The light that Milagro saw was about 1 trillion times more energetic than visible light. While these particles of light, known as photons, are the same as the photons that make up visible light, they behave quite differently, simply because they are much more energetic. 88 pp. Englisch.…

In computer networking, load balancing is a technique to distribute workload evenly across two or more computers, network links, CPUs, hard drives, or other resources, in order to get optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy. The load balancing service is usually provided by a dedicated program or hardware device (such as a multilayer switch or a DNS server). It is commonly used to mediate internal communications in computer clusters, especially high-availability clusters. If the load is more on a server, then the secondary server takes some load while the other is still processing requests. 80 pp. Englisch.…
