Ciao (programming language)
Ciao is a general-purpose programming language which supports logic, constraint, functional, higher-order, and object-oriented programming styles. Its main design objectives are high expressive power, extensibility, safety, reliability, and efficient execution.
Language Characteristics
Ciao provides a full Prolog system (supporting ISO-Prolog), declarative subsets and extensions of Prolog, functional programming (including lazy evaluation), higher-order (with predicate abstractions), constraint programming, and objects, as well as feature terms (records), persistence, several control rules (breadth-first search, iterative deepening, ...), concurrency (threads/engines), distributed execution (agents), and parallel execution. Libraries also support WWW programming, sockets, external interfaces (C, Java, TclTk, relational databases, etc.), etc.
Ciao is built on a kernel with an extensible modular design which allows both restricting and extending the language — it can be seen as a language building language. These restrictions and extensions can be activated separately on each program module so that several extensions can coexist in the same application for different modules.
Ciao (magazine)
Ciao (ちゃお, Chao) is a Japanese shōjo manga magazine published by Shogakukan for girls about 9–15 years old. The first issue was launched in 1977. As of 2009, the circulation was 815,455. Formerly, the magazine attached paper crafts, but now attaches goods (cosmetics, watches, pencils, notebooks, etc.) that are different every month. The magazine's competitors are Ribon and Nakayoshi.

Hiro Nakamura
Hiro Nakamura (中村広 / ヒロ・ナカムラ, Nakamura Hiro) is a fictional character on the NBC science fiction drama Heroes who possesses the ability of space-time manipulation. This means that Hiro is able to alter the flow of time. In the show, he is played by Japanese-American actor Masi Oka.
According to the online comic on NBC.com, Hiro is named after Hiroshima, so that his family will always remember the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tim Kring has been quoted as saying, "It's no coincidence we named him Hiro... he truly is on a hero's quest." To this end, his name is often used as a pun. His co-worker and best friend Ando once called him "Super-Hiro" in jest.
Character development
Hiro was one of the last main characters to be created by Tim Kring; he was added to the pilot episode after Kring's wife noticed none of the existing main characters were happy about their powers. During a panel session, Kring explained that he developed Hiro as a comic book geek "trapped in a life that was kind of not of his making". Thus, viewers were introduced to Hiro as an office worker in a sea of cubicles. In an interview, Tim Kring noted, "I didn't start off by saying I want a guy who can teleport. I started off by saying I wanted a guy who felt trapped in a life that was not his dream and what could be a power that would be most wish-fulfilling for that character? And that was the ability to teleport out of that life."
Hiro (Robot)
A leg-less humanoid robot. Is a low cost 7.5M JPY humanoid robot manufactured by Kawada KK of Japan. Its servomotors have millimiter precision. It is primarily employed in R&D centers and universities. Runs real time Linux QNX in a 5ms loop. Application programming of movements is done via OpenHRP, a software maintained by [General Robotix Inc.].
Hiro has a red push button to stop in case of emergency.
Criticism
The servomotors move commands are Point to Point mode. Once a move command has been sent from a given application to servomotors' controlling QNX module it is not possible to cancel or correct course to avoid potential collision. This makes operation with humans unsafe or precludes real-time force feed-back applications. Hiro does not handle move commands in a parallel mode. All commands are processed in serial mode.
