The term w
hi
te
noise, the 'sh' noise produced by
a signal containing all audible
fr
equencies of
vi
bration,
is sometimes used as slang (or a
neologism)
to
describe a meaning less commot ion
or chatter
that
masks or obliterates underlying
i
nfo
rmation. The
inf
ormation itsel f may have
characteristics that achieve this effect without
the need to introducing a masking layer. A
common example
of
this usage is a pol it ician
including
more
information than needed to mask
a poi
nt
he doesn't want noticed.
In
mus ic the
term is used for mus ic that is discordant with no
me lody ; disagreeable, harsh or dissonant.

Gravity's Rainbow ..-
Gravity ' s a inbow is a postmodern novel written
by omas ncho and first published on
February 28, 1973. The narrative is set primari ly
in Europe at the end of World War II and centers
on the design, product ion and dispatch of V-2
rockets
by
the German
military,
and, in
particula r,
the
quest undertaken by several
characters to uncover the secret of a mysterious
device named the Schwarzgerat ( black
device )
that
is
to
be insta lled in a rocket wi
th
the serial number 00000. Gravity's Rainbow is
transgressive, as it questions and inverts social
standards of deviance and disgust and
transgresses boundaries of Western culture and
reason. Frequently digressive,
the
novel subverts
many of the traditional elements of plot and
character development, and traverses detailed,
specialist knowledge drawn from a wide range
of
disciplines. The novel has been praised
for its
innovation and complexity,
but
criticized by
others.
In
1974
,
the three-member
Pulitzer Prize
jury
on fiction supported Gravi
ty
's
a
inbow for
the
Pulitzer Prize for Fiction . The other eleven
members
of
the
board overturned
this
decision
and no award was given for fiction that year. The
novel was nominated for
the
1973 Nebula Award
for Best Novel and shared the 1974 U.S. National
Book Award for Fiction with A Crown
of
Feathers
and Other
Stor
ies by Isaac Bashevis Singer.
Since
its
publicat ion,
Gravity
's
a
inbow has
spawned an enormous amount of
lit
erary
criticism and commentary, including
two
readers'
gu ides and several on line concordances, and
it
is
frequently cited as Pynchon's magnum opus.

Sensory overload (som
et
imes abbreviated to
SO ), related
to
og nitive load in general, is a
condit ion where one or more of the senses are
strained and it becomes difficult to focus on t he
task at hand. The
term
is commonly
but
not
exclusively) used in the context of
autistic/spectrum disorders, though it may
appear in neurotyp ica l children. t may be
necessary for only one sense to be bombarded by
stimuli to affect that sense as well as the other
senses and
the think
ing process. The most
common type occurs when more than one sense
is stimulated. For example, a person might be
watching television when someone comes in and
asks a question; the watcher might fail to
respond because
he
or she
simply
does not
register
it,
or realizes
the
question has been
asked but gets confused and d oesn t know
whether
to
answer the question or concentrate
on
the television.

I
I Cognitive load
. . . .
The term cognitive load is used in cogn
itiv
e
psychology
to
illustrate
the
l
o d
related
to
t he
executive control of working memory (WM).
Theories contend that during complex learning
activities
the
amount of information and
interactions
that must
be processed
simultaneously can either under-load, or overload
the
finite amount of working memory one
possesses. All elements must be processed
before meaningful learning can continue.
Instruction may be aimed at teaching learners
problem solving skills,
thinking
and reasoning
skills (including perception, memory language,
etc.). Many would agree that people learn better
when they can build on what they already
understand (known
s
existing schemas),
but
t he
more a person has
to
learn in a shorter amount
of t ime, the more
diff
icult it is to process that
information in working memory. Consider t he
difference between having to study a subject in
one's native language versus t rying
to
study a
subject in a foreign language. The cognitive load
is much higher in the second instance because
the brain must work
to
translate the language
while simultaneously trying
to
understand t he
new information . Another aspect
o
cogniti ve load
theory involves understanding how many discrete
units
o
informat ion can be retained in short
te
rm memory before information loss occurs. An
example of this princip le that seems to be
commonly cited is the use o 7-digit phone
numbers, based
on the
theo
ry that
most people
can only retain seven chunks o
inf
ormat ion in
thei
r
short-term
memory.

Arnold Gehlen
(29
January 1904, Leipzig - 30
January
1976, Hamburg)
was an influential
conservative German philosopher and sociologist.
His
major
influences while studying philosophy
were Hans Driesch, Nicolai Hartmann and
especially Max Scheler. He joined
the
Nazi Party
in 1933 and had a sh ining career as a member of
the 'Leipzig School' under Hans Freyer. He
replaced Paul Tillich, who emigrated
to
the U.S. ,
at the University of Frankfurt. In 1938 he
accepted a teaching position at the University of
Konigsberg
(today s
a
l
iningr

then
taught at the University of Vienna in 1940 until
he was drafted
into the
Wehrmacht in 1943.
After
his 'denazification' he
taught at the
administrative college in Speyer. He went on
to
teach at
the
Aachen University of Technology
between 1962 and 1969. Gehlen became a sharp
critic of
the
protest movements
that
developed in
the late 1960s. Gehlen's philosophy has been
influential for many contemporary
neoconservative German thinkers. Many terms
from his work, like Reizuberflutung
( Sensory overload ), deinstitutionalizati on or
post-history, have gained popular currency in
Germany. Der Mensch. Seine Natur und seine

Automatic speech
Automatic speech (also known s embolalia)
refers to the verbalization of different words or
phrases
that
occur without the conscious
ort
of
the individual. This type of speech component
often serves
s
verbal filler during the middle of
a presentation or conversation. It consists of
words not directly under
th
e control of a person's
conscious mind, and are spoken without
tho
ugh
t.
Such speech includes false starts, hesitations,
repetitions that accompany words that speakers
plan and
utter
coherent sentences, and fi ll
er
words (such as Like , Er and U
hm").
The word
embolalia comes from
the
Greek word emboles
whi
ch
means 'something thrown in', from the
word emballo- meaning '
to
throw in', and -lalia
meaning 'speech,
chatte
ri ng and babbl ing;
abnormal or disordered form of speech .
Automatic speech has sparked resear
ch
in many
d ifferent fi elds since a long time ago. Modern
linguists
led by Leonard Bloomfi eld in 1933 c ll
these hesitation forms -- the sounds of
stammer
ing
(uh)
, stuttering (urn, urn), th roat
clearing (ahem ), stalling (well, urn, that is),
interjected when the speaker is groping for words
or at a loss for the next thought . French
psychiatrist Jules Seglas, on the other hand,
referred to the term embolalia, s the regular
addition of prefixes or suffixes
to
words, and
mentioned
that
the behavior is sometimes used
by normal individuals to demonstrate
to
their
interlocutor
that they are paying
attention
to the
conversation.

Committee for Liquidation and Subversion of
Computers (CLODO) (in French: Comite
Liquidant ou Detournant les Ordinateurs, 'Ciodo'
being a slang word for the homeless) was a neo-
Luddite French anarchist organization, act ive
during the 1980s,
that
targeted computer
companies. In 1980, after a series
of
attacks in
the Toulouse area, they released a statement to
the
French media in which they explained
their
motivations.

to repress. Their major attack was in 1983,
when they firebombed the Sperry Univac
Company, in Toulouse. At the time French pol ice

that
CLODO was simply n
outgrowth of Act ion Directe, a libertarian
communist group. Although CLODO is no longer
classified s 'active' by the National Consortium
for
the Study of
Terrorism and Responses to
Terrorism, there has been some debate among
technology critics and cultural theorists such as
Arthur Kroker and Peter Lamborn Wilson s to
whether

their future

to
be
less spectacular than the firebombing of Sperry-
Univac they plan
to
carry out actions geared
towards an impending te lecommunications
explosion.

ABC News
ABC News is the news gathering and
broadcasting division of
the
American
Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of The Walt
Disney Company. Its flagship program is World
News with Diane Sawyer;
other
programs include
morning show Good Morning America, Ni htline,
television news magazine shows Primetime
20/20
and Sunday
morning
political affairs
program This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
ABC began news broadcasts early in its
independent existence as a radio network
after
the
Federal Communications Commission ordered
the
former
N C
Blue Network
to
be spun off as
an independent company in 1943. This was done
to keep single or a few companies such as
N C
and CBS from dominating radio broadcasting in
the U.S., and in particular, from dominating
news and political broadcasting and projecting
narrow points-of-view. Television broadcasting
was suspended however, during World War I I .
Regular ABC television news broadcasts began
soon after ABC started transmitting from its
initial New Yo rk City television station and
production center in late summer 1948. ABC-TV
news broadcasts have continued as the ABC
television network spread across the country, a
process that took many years, from that
beginning in 1948 through today, but they have
not always had
the
same level of success
that
they enjoy now. Throughout the 1950s,
the
1960s, and
the
early 1970s, ABC News
consistently ranked third in viewership behind
C S News and N C News.

Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund
which comprise
the
Social Security.
Trust

By dollars paid, the U.S. Social Security program
is the largest government program in the world
and the single greatest expenditure in the
federal budget, with 20.8 for Social Sec

compared to 20.5 for discretionary defense and
20.1
for Medicare/Med i

Social security ..-
Social s e u r i t is a concept enshrined in Article
22
of
the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
which states
that
Everyone, as a member of
society, has the
right to
ocia sec t and is
entitled
to
realization,
through
national
ffort
and international co-operation and in accordance
with the
organization and resources
of
each
State, of
the
economic, social and cultural rights
indispensable for his dignity and
the
free
development
of
his personality. In simple
term,
this
means
that the
signatories agree
that
society in which a person lives should help them
to develop and
to
make the most of all
the
advantages culture, work, social welfare which
are offered
to them
in
the country.
s
it
may also refer
to the
action
programs of government intended
to
promote
the
welfare
of the
population
through
assistance
measures guaranteeing access
to
sufficient
resources for food and shelter and to promote
health and wellbeing for
the
population at large
and potentially vulnerable segments such as
children, the elderly, the sick and the
unemployed. Terminology in this area in the
United States is somewhat different to that in
the
rest of
the
English speaking world. The
general
term for
an action program in support
of
the
well being
of the
population in
the
United
States is welfare program and
the
general
term
for all such programs is simply welfare. In other
countries
the
word welfare on i
ts
own simply
means wellbeing. In American society, which
tends
to promote
individualism and competition
over solidarity and co-operation,
the
term welfare
has therefore developed into one which has
negative connotations, and seen by some as
un-
American.
In
the
rest
of the
English speaking
world, welfare where still retains its original
meaning of well being it is thus generally
perceived s having positive connotations. The
term oca ecu t in the United States refers
to a specific social insurance program
for the
retired and
the
disabled.
In
most
other
countries,
Social securit has the general meaning of being
secure in society and free from the insecurities of
poverty, disease, etc. ocial securit may refer
to: social insurance, where people receive
benefits or services in recognition of
contributions to
an insurance
program.
These
services
typically
include provision
for retirement
pensions, disability insurance, survivor benefits
and unemployment insurance. services provided
by government or designated agencies
responsible for ocial
s e u r i t
provision. In
different countries this may include medical care,
financial support during unemployment,
sickness, or retirement, health and safety at
work, aspects of social work and even industrial
relations. basic security irrespective
of
participation in specific insurance programs
where eligibility may otherwise be an issue. For
instance assistance given
to
newly arrived
refugees
for
basic necessities such
s
food,
clothing, housing, education, money, and
medical care

largest source of funding for medical and health
related services
for
people with limited income in
the
United States. Beginning in
the
1990s, many
states received waivers from the federal
government to create Medica id managed care
programs. Under managed care, ed icaid
recipients are enrolled in a private health plan,
which receives a fixed monthly premium from
the state. The health plan is then responsible for
providing for all or most of the recipient's
healthcare needs. Today, all but a few states use
managed care
to
provide coverage
to
a
significant proportion
of
Medi
ca
id enrollees.
Nationwide, roughly 60 of enrollees are
enrolled in managed care plans. Core eligibil i
ty
groups o poor children and parents are most
likely
to
be enrolled in managed care, while the
aged and disabled eligibi
lity
groups more often
remain in trad itional fee for service Medica id.
Some states operate a program known as the
Health Insurance Premium Payment Program
(HIPP). This program allows a Med ica id recipient
to have
private
health insurance paid
for
by
ed icaid.

a
Deficit reduction In the United States
Deficit reduction in
the
United States refers
to
taxation spending, and economic policy debates
and proposals designed
to
reduce
the
Federal
budget deficit and move the United States to a
sustainable fiscal path. Government agencies
including
the
Government Accountability Office
GAO), Congressional Budget Office,
the
Office
of
Management and Budget {OMB) and the U.S.
Treasury Department have reported
that the
federal government is facing a series of
important
financing challenges.
In
the short-run
tax revenues have declined significantly due
to
a
severe recession and
tax
policy choices, while
expenditures
have expanded
for
wars,
unemployment
insurance and
other
safety net
spending .
In the
long-run expenditures related
to
healthcare programs such as e d i c r ~ and
Medicaid are projected
to
grow faster than the
economy overall
as the
population matures. A
budget deficit refers
to
expenditures
that
exceed
tax collections during a given period, requiring
borrowing to fund the difference. The U.S.
federal
government
has run annual deficits in 36
of
the
past 40 fiscal years, with surpluses from
1998
2001. Tax revenues averaged
approximately 18% GDP from 1971-2010, with
expenditures around 21% GDP, resulting in
an
average annual deficit of around 3% GDP For
example, in
2010
revenues were
2.16 trillion
and outlays were
3.46 trillion
resul
ting
in a
deficit
of 1.3 trillion or 9.4% GDP

Special ctivities Division
. . . .
The Special Activities Division (SAD) is a div ision
in the United States
ent
a telli e
ce ge
(CIA) National
Clandestine Service (NCS) responsib le for covert
operations known s special activities . Within
SAD there are two separate groups, one for
tactical a
ta
operations and another for
covert political action. The Political Action Group
within SAD is responsible for covert activities
related
to
political influence, psychological and
economic warfare. The rapid development of
technology has added cyberwarfare
to their
mission. A large covert operation usually has
components
that
involve
or
all, of these
categories,
s
well
s
r mill operations.
Special Operations Group (SOG) is the element
within SAD responsible for aramllltaQ
operations. These operations include
the
collection of intelligence in hostile countries and
regions, and all high
threat
mili
tary
or
intelligence operations with which the U.S.
government does not wish
to
be overtly
associated. As such, members of the unit (cal led
t Operations Officers and Specialized
Skills Officers) normally
do
not carry any objects
or
clothing (e.g ., military
uniforms
that would
associate them with the United States
government.
f
they are compromised during a
mission,
the
government of the United States
may deny all knowledge. The SAD/SOG is
generally considered the most secretive special
operations force in
the
United States. The group
selects operatives from Delta Force, DEVGRU,
24th STS and other special operations forces
from within the U.S. military.
