Giuseppe Paolo Stanislao "Beppo" Occhialini ForMemRS was an Italian physicist, who contributed to the discovery of the pion or pi-meson decay in 1947, with César Lattes and Cecil Frank Powell. At the time of this discovery, they were all working at the H. H. Wills Laboratory of the University of Bristol; the X-ray satellite SAX was named BeppoSAX in his honour after its launch in 1996. His father was the physicist Raffaele Augusto Occhialini, pioneer in the fields of spectroscopy and electronics theory. Giuseppe Paolo Stanislao Occhialini graduated at Florence in 1929. In 1932, he collaborated in the discovery of the positron in cosmic rays at the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge, under the leadership of Patrick Blackett, using cloud chambers. From 1937 to the 1944 he worked, on invitation of Gleb Wataghin, at the institute of physics of the University of São Paulo, in Brazil, he returned to Italy, in 1944, taught first in Genoa and in Milan. In 1947 he contributed to the discovery of the pion or pi-meson decay in collaboration with César Lattes and Cecil Frank Powell.
The discovery was made at the Wills Laboratory of Bristol using the technology of the tracks on specialized photographic emulsions. He was a protagonist in cosmic ray research with the nuclear utilization of photographic emulsions exposed to high energy cosmic radiation, work which culminated in 1954 with the European G-Stack collaboration. On with the coming of particle accelerators, Occhialini explored that new field of research, he made outstanding contributions to space physics contributing to the foundation of the European Space Agency. The Department of Physics of University of Milan Bicocca, active since 1997, is named after him; the satellite SAX, the first Italian satellite for the study of gamma rays, was renamed BeppoSAX from his nickname "Beppo". An asteroid, 20081 Occhialini was named for him. In 1949 he received the National Prize of the President of the Republic. In 1979 he was awarded the Wolf Prize for physics. In 2004, Prof. Antonio Vitale, Ordinary Professor of Physics at the University of Bologna, created the "Foundation Giuseppe Occhialini" with its seat at Fossombrone, birth town of Giuseppe Occhialini.
The Foundation has as its objective the popularization of physics in the superior schools, is active above all in the province of Pesaro-Urbino, where every year there is held a course with the allocation of scholarships for the worthiest students. In 2007 the Italian Physical Society together with the Institute of Physics instituted the Occhialini Prize to honour his memory. On 22 June 2009 a Milan's square was named after him, that same square where the Institute of Physics was at the time he first became professor there; the Square sign was unveiled at a ceremony with the Deans of both State Milan's universities, Enrico Decleva and Marcello Fontanesi, Beppo's daughter Etra and Professor Guido Vegni, one of Beppo's pupils and successor in particle physics research. Beppo Occhialini was an avid mountain climber. During WW II, staying in Brazil a country hostile to Italy, he became an authorized alpine guide in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, where there is a peak named "Pico Occhialini". Redondi, Pietro.

"All in Love Is Fair" is a song by American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder recorded for his sixteenth studio album, Innervisions. Written and produced by Wonder, it was released as a 7" single in Brazil in 1974; the song is a pop ballad with lyrics that describe the end of a relationship through the use of clichés. Critical reaction to the song was varied: Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic wrote that it was among Wonder's "finest ballad statements", but Robert Christgau felt that the singer's performance was "immature". Wonder has included it on several of his greatest hits albums, including the most recent, 2005's The Complete Stevie Wonder. American vocalist Barbra Streisand released "All in Love Is Fair" as a single in 1974 for her fifteenth studio album, The Way We Were. Tommy LiPuma handled the production for the 7" single release by Columbia Records. Among music critics, Greenwald called her version "unforgettable", Rolling Stone's Stephen Holden wrote that it was "almost as interesting" as Wonder's original.
Commercially, the song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States at number 63, Canada's Top Singles chart at number 60. The song has been recorded by a number of other artists, including Brook Benton, Nancy Wilson and Cleo Laine.

A pop ballad, "All in Love Is Fair" was compared to the works of Johnny Mathis by Lenny Kaye of Rolling Stone and the editors at Playboy. Lawrence Gabriel, author of MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, described the track as a "classic" pop song.
Janine McAdams from Billboard found "dramatic intensity" within the lyrics, "I should have never left your side / The writer takes his pen / To write the words again / That all in love is fair". Author Herb Jordan included the track's lyrics in his book Motown in Love: Lyrics from the Golden Era. AllMusic's Matthew Greenwald found "All in Love Is Fair" to be among Wonder's "finest ballad statements", which contained "one of the most graceful and memorable hooks from the era". Brian Ives of radio.com described it as a "beautiful and sad piano ballad" that he thought could have come from the Broadway stage. Robert Christgau disliked Wonder's balladry singing in "All in Love Is Fair", considered his performance to be "immature". In contrast, author James E. Perone wrote that there was "no better example" of a "pure, autobiographical-sounding vocal showpiece for Stevie Wonder". After its initial release in 1973, Wonder placed "All in Love Is Fair" on several of his albums, it was included on the Motown compilation Baddest Love Jams, Vol. 2: Fire & Desire in 1995.

Nova 5 is an autonomous robot designed for intelligent search and rescue applications created by two electronics engineers and brothers Fady and Sami Khaled. Unlike remote-controlled robots, Nova 5 uses artificial intelligence to interpret its surroundings, process the information and navigate independently, it operates via a built-in fuzzy neural network which mimics the function of the human brain’s neurons. The robot is 68 cm wide and 70 cm in length and recognizes objects using on-board sensors, a camera and an advanced edge detection algorithm as well as a normalization algorithm; this mathematical algorithm is part of the on-board training model that detects and stores inputs while studying normal conditions. Utilizing electronic neurons, Nova 5 acquires data using a neural training model, stores the data and uses the relevant data to make better decisions; this enables the robot to use its past experiences for more accurate decisions. Nova 5 acquires input from its environment and reacts to those inputs without human intervention or control.
It is used in sniffing and reconnaissance applications, therefore participating in life saving situations. Nova 5 has the ability to detect human emotions using built-in facial recognition, it can recognize noise and gasses in the surrounding environment such as hydrogen sulfide gas. It can map an area and generate a 3D map of the area traversed. Nova 5 uses a communication system which operates via a 10 km wireless link and a radio link for enabling human control.

Watershed Park is a 153-acre temperate rain forest public park located in Olympia, Washington that supplied all the city's water from established wells in the late 1800s. The city acquired and operated the wells starting in 1917 until the 1950s when the municipal water source was replaced. In 1955 the forest was to be logged and the land sold but strong local opposition resulted in an ordinance preserving the area as a city park. Throughout, remnants of the waterworks are visible from the park trails; the park takes its name from the watershed of Moxlie Creek. Water wells for the city of Olympia were first created in the area now comprising Watershed Park in the late 19th century. Influential Western Washington businessman Henry Clay Heermans bought the entire waterworks in 1909, sold it to the City of Olympia in 1917. After operating the wells into the 1950s, the city planned to log the area and sell the property, leading to a Washington Supreme Court battle that led to the area's preservation, with a city ordinance protecting the area presently.
Local environmental activist Margaret McKenny is recognized as the impetus for establishing the park as a protected place. The Moxlie Creek Springs Basin, one of the largest spring basins in the region, is situated in the center of the park, forested by a temperate rain forest. Skunk cabbage and salmon berries grow alongside Moxlie Creek; the creek is fed by surface water runoff. Chinook, coho salmon and coastal cutthroat trout live in the creek. There are big leaf maple, douglas fir, red alder and incense cedar throughout the park, along with huckleberry, Oregon grape and sword ferns, devil's club; the one and a half-mile long, G. Eldon Marshall trail encircles much of the park. Evidence of the former waterworks in the form of pipes is scattered throughout the park, as well. A future expansion of the paved Karen Fraser Woodland Trail will extend that rail to run along the northwestern edge of the park to creat a connection with the Tumwater Falls park; this expansion will connect with Watershed's hiking trails.
The park has suffered from gypsy moth infestations. History of Olympia, Washington
