WOZ Die Wochenzeitung
WOZ Die Wochenzeitung, commonly shortened to WOZ or Wochenzeitung, is a Swiss German-language weekly newspaper, published in Zürich.
History and profile
Founded as WochenZeitung (WoZ) on 1 October 1981 in Zürich, WOZ soon became one of the most important newspapers of Switzerland, based on the experiences of the German Tageszeitung (taz) and the monthly student journal Das Konzept. As in the beginning, its staff is salaried to a unit wage, and financially supported is WOZ by Pro WoZ, a booster associations, since 1984. Beginning in 1995, the former WoZ and taz are joint editors of the German-language edition of Le Monde diplomatique as a supplement of the newspapers. The WoZ content was influenced by the conjuncture of various currents of the Swiss alternative political movement, in a first phase by the youth movement of the 1980s. Because of the low proportion of advertisements, that granted a certain independence, the newspaper was periodically under-funded. A financial reboot in 2003 ended due to increased costs almost in bankruptcy. A reorganization, including in 2005 the first editorial board, but without chief editor, allowed for consolidation.

Die (integrated circuit)
A die in the context of integrated circuits is a small block of semiconducting material, on which a given functional circuit is fabricated. Typically, integrated circuits are produced in large batches on a single wafer of electronic-grade silicon (EGS) or other semiconductor (such as GaAs) through processes such as photolithography. The wafer is cut (“diced”) into many pieces, each containing one copy of the circuit. Each of these pieces is called a die.
There are three commonly used plural forms: dice, dies, and die.
