The name Robert is a Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic *χrōþi- "fame" and *berχta- "bright". Compare Old Dutch Robrecht and Old High German Hrodebert (a compound of hruod "fame, glory" and berht "bright"). It is also in use as a surname.
After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England in its Old French form Robert, where an Old English cognate form (Hrēodbēorht, Hrodberht, Hrēodbēorð, Hrœdbœrð, Hrœdberð) had existed before the Norman Conquest. The feminine version is Roberta. The Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish form is Roberto.
Similar to the name, Richard, "Robert" is also a common name in many Germanic languages, including English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic. It can be used as a French, Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian name as well.
Robert, and also the name Joseph, were in the top 10 most given boys' names in the US for 47 years, from 1925 to 1972.
In Italy during the Second World War, the form of the name, Roberto, briefly acquired a new meaning derived from, and referring to the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis.
Robert Gleckler (1887–1939) was an American film actor who appeared in nearly 60 movies between 1927 until his death in 1939. He was casted for the role of Jonas Wilkerson in Gone with the Wind, but died during the filming and was replaced with Victor Jory.
Great Guy (1936) is a crime film starring James Cagney and Mae Clarke. In the film, an honest inspector for the New York Department of Weights and Measures takes on corrupt merchants and politicians.
Spencer Bonaventure Tracy (April 5, 1900 – June 10, 1967) was an American actor, noted for his natural style and versatility. One of the major stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, Tracy was nominated for nine Academy Awards for Best Actor and won two, sharing the record for nominations in that category with Laurence Olivier.
Tracy first discovered his talent for acting while attending Ripon College, and he later received a scholarship for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He spent seven years in the theatre, working in a succession of stock companies and intermittently on Broadway. Tracy's breakthrough came in 1930, when his lead performance in The Last Mile caught the attention of Hollywood. After a successful film debut in Up the River, Tracy was signed to a contract with Fox Film Corporation. His five years with Fox were unremarkable, and he remained largely unknown to audiences after 25 films.
In 1935 Tracy joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, at the time Hollywood's most prestigious studio. His career flourished with a series of hit films, and in 1937 and 1938 he won consecutive Oscars for Captains Courageous and Boys Town. By the 1940s, Tracy was one of the studio's top stars. In 1942 he appeared with Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year, beginning a popular partnership that produced nine movies over 25 years. Tracy left MGM in 1955 and continued to work regularly as a freelance star, despite an increasing weariness as he aged. His personal life was troubled, with a lifelong struggle against alcoholism and guilt over his son's deafness. Tracy became estranged from his wife in the 1930s, but never divorced, conducting a long-term relationship with Katharine Hepburn in private. Towards the end of his life, Tracy worked almost exclusively for director Stanley Kramer. It was for Kramer that he made his last film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in 1967, completed just 17 days before Tracy's death.
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

Sinopse: Jim Carter conhece Por McWade e os dois se tornam amigos. Por dá a Jim um trabalho como camelô na sua concessão Coney Island Stand chamada Inferno de Dante. É uma das atrações menos populares ao redor. Em sua primeira noite no trabalho, Jim exibe seu carisma, atraindo grandes multidões. Filme estrelado por Spencer Tracy e vagamente baseado no livro de Dante Alighieri, A Divina Comédia. O filme continua a ser lembrado por uma descrição de 10 minutos do inferno na visão do diretor Harry Lachman, ele próprio sendo um pintor pós-impressionista. Um dos primeiros filmes de Rita Hayworth, que aqui faz uma ponta como uma dançarina e tendo o seu nome creditado como Rita Cansino (uma variação de seu nome de nascença). Direção: Harry Lachman. Elenco: Spencer Tracy, Claire Trevor, Henr...

The 3L Project and Our Computing Future by Thomas Hintz Bay Area Lisp and Scheme Meetup http://balisp.org/ Sat 12 Nov 2016 Hacker Dojo Santa Clara, CA Abstract A talk providing an overview of the 3L Project: a new computing system designed to drive computing forward with a focus on security and extensibility. It is currently based on a Lisp runtime acting as an integrated OS and application base for a highly interactive and dynamic development environment. The talk provides an overview and delves in to some of the details of the Lisp providing the foundation.
Bay Area Lisp and Scheme Meetup http://balisp.org/ Thu 30 Nov 2017 Rigetti Computing Berkeley, CA Abstract Since the 1950s, Lisp has been used to describe and calculate in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence, robotics, symbolic mathematics, and advanced optimizing compilers. It is no surprise that Lisp has also found relevance in quantum computation, both in academia and industry. Hosted at Rigetti Computing, a quantum computing startup in Berkeley, Robert Smith will provide a pragmatic view of the technical, sociological, and psychological aspects of working with an interdisciplinary team, writing Lisp, to build the next generation of technology resource: the quantum computer. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Robert has been using Lisp for over decade, and has been fortunate to work ...
Bay Area Lisp and Scheme Meetup http://balisp.org/ Thu 13 Jul 2017 Factual San Francisco, CA Abstract Our speaker was Roger Corman, CTO of DealSignal. In his distinguished career, he has created Corman Common Lisp ("Common Lisp supercharged for Windows platforms"), developed industry-leading clinical systems that encode medical logic in the Arden language, developed an intelligent biology platform at the SRI AI Center, and more. He discussed all of these, the motivations behind them, his start as a jazz musician, and how Gregorian chants on postcards played a part in getting him started as a software engineer. This talk was part of the Factual Tech Talks series. Factual hosted us at their offices in San Francisco. Many thanks to Factual and to Wes Henderson for being our hosts, and...
