614th Space Intelligence Squadron

The United States Air Force's 614th Space Intelligence Squadron was a unit located at Vandenberg AFB, California. It was inactivated on June 18, 2007 when the 614th Space Operations Group was redesignated the 614 Air and Space Operations Center.

Mission

The 614th Space Intelligence Squadron is the first squadron in the USAF that has been designed to protect satellites belonging to the military. This squadron is stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

During Operation Iraqi Freedom the US was using ten times the satellite capability it had in 1991. Before the second invasion of Iraq, the space shuttle Endeavour used its radar to make a map of Iraq; this map was used to make targets for the invasion. Satellites have provided and still do provide reliable pictures and information to the US and its allies. Satellites not only provide photographs, but are crucial when it comes to launching and guiding missiles. The US is not the only country that uses satellites for a military advantage, Australia and Great Britain are two countries that put them to use as well.

SiS 630/730

The SiS 630 and SiS 730 are a family of highly integrated chipsets for Intel (Slot 1/Socket 370) and AMD (Slot A/Socket A) respectively. At the time of release they were unique in that they not only provided VGA, Audio, LAN, IDE and USB functionality on board, but were also in a single-chip solution. At the time of release (1999) most chipsets were composed of physically separate north-bridge and south-bridge chips (technically these still existed in the SiS 630/730 but were contained in a single package). Only later have single-chip solutions become popular in the mainstream, with chipsets such as the nVidia nForce4.

Lola (1981 film)

Lola is a 1981 West German film directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and is the third in his BRD Trilogy. The first film in the trilogy is The Marriage of Maria Braun (BRD 1) and the second is Veronika Voss (BRD 2).

Plot

In 1957–1958 in Coburg, in post-World War II West Germany, Schuckert (Mario Adorf) is a local construction entrepreneur whose methods of gaining wealth include shady business practices such as bribing the local officials. His latest scheme, to erect a building with a large basement for a brothel is endangered with the arrival of von Bohm (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a high-minded building commissioner.

Von Bohm tries to institute gradual change of the system from within, rather than exposing the participants, and suggests that Schuckert builds three additional storeys (allowing Schuckert to make significantly more money) on the aforementioned building instead of just a cellar. Meanwhile he falls in love with a beautiful woman named Lola (Barbara Sukowa), who has a child named Mariechen with Schuckert and whose mother works as Von Bohm's housekeeper ("Haushaelterin"). Lola had initially heard of Von Bohn from Schuckert, and then from her mother. When visiting her mother at Von Bohm's house one day, Lola is struck by a Ming vase and her mother tells her that Von Bohn goes to the local library weekly to read about East Asian antiques. Lola made a concerted effort to seduce Von Bohn by reading in the East Asian section of the local library. They are attracted to each other, and von Bohm starts thinking of marriage, going so far as to buy an engagement ring for Lola and eloping with her. However, Lola then sends him a letter saying that she wants to break up. Von Bohm finds out that she is a cabaret singer and prostitute in the town brothel, where most of von Bohm's adversaries are her clients, and that she is the "personal toy" of Schuckert, and he collects evidence against Schuckert to expose the corruption.
