Weighted voting at the UN has been suggested for various reasons: (1) to overcome the problems of the mini-states now being admitted, with one vote just as the very large states have; (2) to prevent voting in the General Assembly from swinging any further in the anti-West, anti-Israel direction; (3) to satisfy the requirements of democratic justice: i.e., "one person-one vote," not "one nation-one vote"; and, (4) to reflect more realistically the distribution of power among nations.

Intelligence is a process by which certain types of information/data are aquired or requested by those directing a missing person incident. The process continues by rallying teams of resources to collect, process and exploit, analyze and produce useful information that can then be disseminated and integrated into actionable plans. Traditionally the collection, processing, exploitation, analysis, and production has been done by hand on paper and sorted by experienced search leaders and training of the human brain. However, what if this work could be done by computers and artificial intelligence? This is the hypothesis we are exploring through a privately funded university effort. The "Artificial Intelligence for Search and Rescue" is a project with goals to use AI and related computational methods and tools to support Search and Rescue (SAR) missions. This project is a collaboration with California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) Computer Science and Software Engineer Department Dr. Franz Kurfess, undergraduate and graduate students in alliance with alumnus Gary Bloom and Christopher Young both experienced search and rescue incident managers. The project began in the summer of 2021 through privately funded research, senior projects, and class projects. This paper is Part 1 and will describe the initial work included the collecting and consolidating the pertinent mechanisms for storing and processing data and the research of the potential artificial intelligence options. Part 2 will describe the final product after lab/field testing and refinements. KEY WORDS: Intelligence Gathering, Missing Person, Interviewing.

ABSTRACTInnovation, use of high technology, and flexibility of response to customer needs are studied in two surveys of small manufacturing firms in New York and Pennsylvania. They are shown in both surveys to be separate and unrelated concepts. None of five industry‐level classifications of high‐technology firms, using SIC codes predict these concepts on a firm level. Only innovation is related to a sophisticated firm marketing program. and to export from the state.

The early modern period in England (c. 1500-1800) is often best remembered for dramatic developments that transformed the political, religious and economic life of the country. Henry VIII's rejection of the papacy in the 1530s severed the English church and its worshippers from the wider Catholic community. In 1649, the execution of Charles I at the end of the Civil War marked the beginning of a transformation in the relationship between king and people. That relationship continued to evolve and in 1689, it was recast in the Bill of Rights, which subordinated the Crown to the people. The economy thrived through much of the period and by the eighteenth century England was both a leader in European and in the overseas colonies for which so many nations vied. This exhibit seeks to explore the lives of ordinary people who lived through these dramatic events. While such developments were important, they did not always gure in the everyday lives of those who were not members of the political nation. For them, concerns about their work, families, education and spiritual lives loomed larger than the activities and debates taking place at Westminster. The objects here reveal the concerns, desires and fears of some of the English people during the early modern era and how they sought to manage them--not always successfully.
