http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_(engineering)A dog is a tool that prevents movement or imparts movement by offering physical obstruction or engagement of some kind. It may hold another object in place by blocking it, clamping it, or otherwise obstructing its movement. Or it may couple various parts together so that they move in unison - the primary example of this being a flexible drive to mate two shafts in order to transmit torque.

Design Thinkinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_thinkingDesign Thinking is a process for practical, creative resolution of problems or issues that looks for an improved future result.[1] Unlike analytical thinking, design thinking is a creative process based around the "building up" of ideas. There are no judgments in design thinking. This eliminates the fear of failure and encourages maximum input and participation. Outside the box thinking is encouraged in this process since this can often lead to creative solutions.

Story ville 1968, a documentary on BBC 4

Documentary exploring what really happened throughout the world in the seminal year of 1968, a time of music and of revolution, asking why so many hopes were disappointed and what is the period's true legacy.

Drawing on archive footage from the US, Vietnam, Britain, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy and Mexico, the film dynamically reconstructs the hopes, the fears and the ultimate sense of despair that pervaded the events of 1968.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannes_Film_Festival#HistoryThe 1968 festival was halted on 19 May 1968. Some directors as Carlos Saura or Milos Forman had withdrawn their films from the competition, and on 18 May, filmmaker Louis Malle along with a group of directors took over the large room of the Palais and interrupted the projections in solidarity with students and labour on strike throughout France[9], and in protest to the eviction of the then President of the Cinémathèque Française. The filmmakers achieved the reinstatement of the President, and they founded the Film Directors' Society (SRF) that same year[10]. In 1969 the SRF, led by Pierre-Henri Deleau created the Directors' Fortnight, a new non-competitive section that programs a selection of films from around the world, distinguished by the independent judgment displayed in the choice of films[11].

Enigma & the Allieshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machinePhilippe, Amandine and I were looking at a second-hand book on top of Broadway Market this afternoon; its subject was Turing and the enigma code - seing Phillipe and I looking immediately at this book in particular motivated Amandine to ask why we were so much atracted; trying to deliver some accurate facts motivated the reading this couple of wikipedia pages.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_during_World_War_IIA few days before D-Day, the commanding officers of the Resistance heard the first line of Verlaine's poem , "Chanson d'automne", "Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne" (Long sobs of autumn violins) which meant that the "day" was imminent. When the second line "Blessent mon cœur d'une langueur monotone" (wound my heart with a monotonous langour) was heard, the Resistance knew that the invasion would take place within the next 48 hours.

.

Those messages were called Messages Personnels (Personnal Messages) and diffused by BBC french programmes (literally, the French speaks to the French)

http://anti-chambre.net/users/jerome/none/2008/09/collections-2/#comment-1022

.

quote: Literate programming is a philosophy of computer programming based on the premise that a computer program should be written similar to literature, with human readability as a primary goal. According to this philosophy, programmers should aim for a “literate” style in their programming just as writers aim for an intelligible and articulate style in their writing.
