Xenix is a discontinued version of the Unix operating system for various microcomputer platforms, licensed by Microsoft from AT&T Corporation in the late 1970s. The Santa Cruz Operation acquired exclusive rights to the software, replaced it with SCO UNIX. In the mid-to-late 1980s, Xenix was the most common Unix variant, measured according to the number of machines on which it was installed. Microsoft chairman Bill Gates said in 1996 that, for a long time, Microsoft had the highest-volume AT&T Unix license. Bell Labs, the developer of UNIX, was part of the regulated Bell System and could not sell UNIX directly to most end users. Microsoft, which expected that UNIX would be its operating system of the future when personal computers became powerful enough, purchased a license for Version 7 UNIX from AT&T in 1978, announced on August 25, 1980, that it would make it available for the 16-bit microcomputer market; because Microsoft was not able to license the "UNIX" name itself, the company gave it an original name.

Microsoft called XENIX "a universal operating environment". It did not sell XENIX directly to end users, but licensed the software to OEMs such as IBM, Management Systems Development, Altos, SCO, Siemens who ported it to their own proprietary computer architectures. In 1981, Microsoft said the first version of XENIX was "very close to the original UNIX version 7 source" on the PDP-11, versions were to incorporate its own fixes and improvements; the company stated that it intended to port the operating system to the Zilog Z8000 series, Digital LSI-11, Intel 8086 and 80286, Motorola 68000, "numerous other processors", provide Microsoft's "full line of system software products", including BASIC and other languages. The first port was for the Z8001 16-bit processor: the first customer ship was January 1981 for Central Data Corporation of Illinois, followed in March 1981 by Paradyne Corporation's Z8001 product; the first 8086 port was for the Altos Computer Systems' non-PC-compatible 8600-series computers.

Intel sold complete computers with XENIX under their Intel System 86 brand. This included processor boards like iSBC 86/12 and MMU boards such as the iSBC 309; the first Intel XENIX systems shipped in July 1982. Tandy more than doubled the XENIX installed base when it made TRS-XENIX the default operating system for its TRS-80 Model 16 68000-based computer in early 1983, was the largest UNIX vendor in 1984. Seattle Computer Products made 8086 computers bundled with XENIX, like their Gazelle II, which used the S-100 bus and was available in late 1983 or early 1984. There was a port for IBM System 9000. SCO had worked on its own PDP-11 port of V7, called Dynix, but struck an agreement with Microsoft for joint development and technology exchange on XENIX in 1982. In 1984, a port to the 68000-based Apple Lisa 2 was jointly developed by SCO and Microsoft and it was the first shrink-wrapped binary product sold by SCO; the Multiplan spreadsheet was released for it. In its 1983 OEM directory, Microsoft said the difficulty in porting to the various 8086 and Z8000-based machines had been the lack of a standardized memory management unit and protection facilities.

Hardware manufacturers compensated by designing their own hardware, but the ensuing complexity made it "extremely difficult if not impossible for the small manufacturer to develop a computer capable of supporting a system such as XENIX from scratch," and "the XENIX kernel must be custom-tailored to each new hardware environment."A available port to the unmapped Intel 8086/8088 architecture was done by The Santa Cruz Operation around 1983. SCO XENIX for the PC XT shipped sometime in 1984 and contained some enhancement from 4.2BSD. The 286 version of XENIX leveraged the integrated MMU present on this chip, by running in 286 protected mode; the 286 XENIX was accompanied by new hardware from XENIX OEMs. For example, the Sperry PC/IT, an IBM PC AT clone, was advertised as capable of supporting eight simultaneous dumb terminal users under this version. While XENIX 2.0 was still based on Version 7 UNIX, version 3.0 was upgraded to a UNIX System III code base, A 1984 Intel manual for XENIX 286 noted that the XENIX kernel had about 10,000 lines at this time.

It was followed by a System V.2 codebase in XENIX 5.0."Microsoft hopes that XENIX will become the preferred choice for software production and exchange", the company stated in 1981. Microsoft referred to its own MS-DOS as its "single-user, single-tasking operating system", advised customers that wanted multiuser or multitasking support to buy XENIX, it planned to over time improve MS-DOS so it would be indistinguishable from single-user XENIX, or XEDOS, which would run on the 68000, Z8000, LSI-11. Microsoft's Chris Larson described MS-DOS 2.0's XENIX compatibility as "the second most important feature". His company advertised DOS and XENIX together, listing the shared features of its "single-user OS" and "the multi-user, multi-tasking, UNIX-derived operating system", promising easy porting between them. AT&T started selling System V, after the breakup of the Bell System. Microsoft, believing that it could not compete with U

The Convention of the Left is an annual conference of British left, socialist and green parties and organisations, first held in Manchester in September 2008. The format of the conference was that it'shadowed' the Labour Party's 2008 Annual Conference being held in the city. A'recall' event was held in the city in January 2009. The'Statement of Intent' for the Convention was that it aimed to "explicitly challenge Labour's programme of warmongering, neoliberal privatisation and failure to tackle environmental destruction." The statement was signed by: Tony Benn Alice Mahon Ken Loach John McDonnell MP Robert Griffiths John Haylett Liz Davies Derek Wall George Galloway Salma Yaqoob Prof. Gregor Gall Chris Bambery Lindsey German While the CL had managed to attract the support of both Respect Renewal and the Socialist Workers' Party, the Communist Party of Great Britain dismissed the event as a "talking shop", however the CPGB and its autonomous student group Communist Students signed up as supporters of the convention.

The Socialist Party did not sponsor the event as it has its own Campaign for a New Workers' Party and invited the organisers to join their campaign. The full list of supporting party organisations is as follows: Alliance for Green Socialism Alliance for Workers' Liberty A World to Win Campaign for a New Workers' Party Communist Students Communist Party of Britain Communist Party of Great Britain European Left Party Network Green Left Labour Representation Committee Left Alternative Permanent Revolution Respect – The Unity Coalition Scottish Socialist Party Socialist Alliance Socialist Resistance Socialist Workers' Party Solidarity Workers PowerIt was supported by Morning Star, Red Pepper, Labour Briefing and Socialist Worker.

Hello, Hello Brazil! is a 1935 Brazilian musical film directed by Wallace Downey and Adhemar Gonzaga, starring Carmen Miranda. The screenplay was written by João de Barro. Wallace Downey began his career producing successful musical films for Americans with established artists from Brazilian radio. Carmen Miranda, star of this 1935 film, was one such star. A co-production between Waldown Filmes and Cinédia, Allô, Allô, Brasil! Presented a multitude of singers and radio presenters, such as vocalists Francisco Alves and Mário Reis. A close tie-in with the radio world manifested in this films storyline. Written by popular composers duo João de Barros and Alberto Ribeiro, it portrayed the adventures of a "radiomaníaco" who falls for a nonexistent radio singer; the two genres of music synonymous with the carnival, including the samba and the march, had a prominent place in early Brazilian musicals and popular movies.
