Novelty And Fad Dances
Novelty and fad dances are dances which are typically characterized by a short burst of popularity. Some of them, like the Twist, Y.M.C.A. and the Hokey Pokey, have shown much longer-lasting lives. They are also called dance fads or dance crazes. Fad dances As the pop music market exploded in the late 1950s, dance fads were commercialized and exploited. From the 1950s to the 1970s, new dance fads appeared almost every week. Many were popularized (or commercialized) versions of new styles or steps created by African-American dancers who frequented the clubs and discothèques in major U.S. cities like New York, Philadelphia and Detroit. Among these were the Madison, "The Swim", the " Mashed Potato", " The Twist", " The Frug" (pronounced ), " The Watusi", " The Shake" and " The Hitch hike". Many 1950s and 1960s dance crazes had animal names, including " The Chicken" (not to be confused with the Chicken Dance), " The Pony" and "The Dog". In 1965, Latin group Cannibal and the ...

The Scalable Weakly Consistent Infection-style Process Group Membership (SWIM) Protocol is a group membership protocol based on "outsourced heartbeats" used in distributed systems, first introduced by Abhinandan Das, Indranil Gupta and Ashish Motivala in 2002. It is a hybrid algorithm which combines failure detection with group membership dissemination. Protocol The protocol has two components, the ''Failure Detector Component'' and the ''Dissemination Component''. The ''Failure Detector Component'' functions as follows: # Every ''T time units, each node (N_1) sends a ping to random other node (N_2) in its membership list. # If N_1 receives a response from N_2, N_2 is decided to be healthy and N_1 updates its "last heard from" timestamp for N_2 to be the current time. # If N_1 does not receive a response, N_1 contacts ''k'' other nodes on its list (\), and requests that they ping N_2. # If after ''T units of time: if no successful response is received, N_1 marks N_2 as failed ...

Sander-Wozniak Integrated Machine
The Integrated Woz Machine (or IWM for short) is a single-chip version of the floppy disk controller for the Apple II. It was also employed in Macintosh computers. History When developing a floppy drive for the Apple II, Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak felt that the existing models available on the market were too complicated, expensive and inefficient. Rather than use the existing floppy drives from Shugart Associates, Wozniak decided to use the drive mechanism – but develop his own electronics separately for the both drive and the controller. Wozniak successfully came up with a working floppy drive with a greatly reduced number of electronic components. Instead of storing 8–10 sectors (each holding 256 bytes of data) per track on a 5.25-inch floppy disk — something standard at that time, Wozniak utilized group-coded recording (GCR), and with 5-and-3 encoding he managed to squeeze as many as 13 sectors on each track using the same mechanics and the same stor ...

Ray Of Light
''Ray of Light'' is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on February 22, 1998, by Maverick Records. A major stylistic and aesthetic departure from her previous work, '' Bedtime Stories'', ''Ray of Light'' is an electronica and techno-pop record which incorporates multiple genres, including ambient, trip hop, psychedelic music and Middle Eastern music. Mystical themes are strongly present in the music and lyrics as a result of Madonna embracing Kabbalah, her study of Hinduism and Buddhism, and her daily practice of Ashtanga yoga. After giving birth to her first child, Madonna started working on the album with producers Babyface and Patrick Leonard. Following failed sessions with them, Madonna pursued a new musical direction with English producer William Orbit, which resulted in a much more experimental sound. The recording process was the longest of Madonna's career, and she experienced problems with Orbit's hardware arrangement, which wou ...
