Legenda (imprint)

Legenda (Latin, "things to be read") is an imprint founded in 1995 by the European Humanities Research Centre at Oxford University. In 2004 it became an imprint of the Modern Humanities Research Association, in partnership with Maney Publishing. Under the guidance of Malcolm Bowie, late Master of Christ's College, Cambridge, this new press underwent rapid growth. Recent successes include Clive Scott's Channel Crossings: French and English Poetry in Dialogue 1550-2000, which was awarded the 2004 Gapper Prize as the best contribution to French studies of its year, and Shun-liang Chao's Rethinking the Concept of the Grotesque: Crasahw, Baudelaire, Magritte, which was awarded an honourable mention for the 2013 Anna Balakian Prize by the International Comparative Literature Association..

Legenda, or the MKRC Legenda system, is a Soviet satellite targeting system mated to the SS-N-19 missile. It consisted of the US-P SIGINT satellites and the US-A Radar Ocean reconnaissance satellites, which were nuclear powered.

Legenda is now believed to be non-functional after the US-A sats were deactivated.

Modo

Modo may refer to:

Modo (car co-op)

Modo The Car Co-op is a Metro Vancouver carsharing co-operative. It was incorporated in 1997, making it the oldest carsharing organization in the area, first carshare co-op in North America and the first carshare in the English-speaking world.

As of 2015, the member-owned not-for-profit carshare has more than 13,000 members with 400 vehicles in more than 250 locations across Metro Vancouver, including Vancouver, Richmond, UBC, Surrey, New Westminster, Burnaby, North Vancouver, Coquitlam and Port Moody. Vehicles include hybrids, minivans, pickup trucks, cargo vans and conventional sedans; 11% of Modo's fleet is hybrid or fully electric. Vehicles can be booked for immediate use or up to a year in advance, for as short as 1 hour or as long as 30 days.

Members each have a fob that will open the vehicle they have reserved at the time they have reserved it.

Other carshares in the region include Zipcar and car2go, the latter of which is not actually a "carshare" as defined by the worldwide CarSharing Association. Modo is a two-way carshare, meaning the vehicle must be returned to its home location at the end of a booking so that the next member can pick it up at the time of their booking.

Modo (Wireless device)

The Modo was a wireless device developed by Scout electromedia and was officially announced on August 28th, 2000. Utilizing pager networks, the device was designed to provide city-specific "lifestyle" content such as restaurant & bar reviews, movie listings, in addition to original Scout-produced content.

The industrial design was done by IDEO (which took an investment in the startup), while the device software was based on Pixo's operating system (the OS that later powered the Apple iPod). All of the electrical engineering, wireless development, and system development were done in-house by the company.

After the company was funded, one of its venture backers, Flatiron out of Manhattan, backed a similar company, Vindigo, which aimed to bring a broader range of information to the Palm Pilot platform. Because of Scout's focus on delivering mobile information to a young design-conscious audience that had no interest in using a traditional PDA, Vindigo was considered by the backers to be a complementary product offering.
