Today I've brought you a book that goes to the heart of our country. It's called The Voice to Parliament Handbook and it has been written by Thomas Mayo and Kerry O'Brien. Thomas Mayo is a Larrakia man who has written extensively about the Uluru Statement including Finding the Heart of the Nation, and Finding Our Heart, a book for young readers with illustrations by Blak Douglas. Kerry O'Brien is an award winning journalist whose is known for his work on 7.30, Lateline and Four Corners. Now this is not our usual fare of Australian Literature that I have each week for book club. But I wanted to bring this particular book in because the discussion around The Voice is so very important and this book offers a straightforward exploration of what is ‘The Voice', how we got here and what it means to have this opportunity to vote in a referendum. Each week when I present Final Draft on Saturday mornings, I talk about how these stories we read, that they are the stories that make us who we are. Stories have the power to reflect our world and in reading them; in taking them to heart or roundly rejecting them we in turn shape our world. The Voice to Parliament Handbook doesn't deal in abstractions though. It very clearly lays out the history, the movement to the voice and the issues that impact us as we prepare for a vote later this year. In a very real sense this book is part of a story that will shape who all of us are. So don't we owe to ourselves to do the work, to read the information and make sure when we vote, we vote with as much information as possible. The Voice to Parliament Handbook is a slim volume, clocking in at just under a hundred pages. It's inexpensive too (I saw it online for just twelve dollars). The goal seemingly to make this information as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. With all the shouting and political arguments, not to mention the seemingly contradictory misinformation out there this is a wonderful opportunity to get information from respected writers. Each chapter of the book opens up a facet of the history, journey and future of The Voice. The book begins with a transcript of the Uluru Statement from the Heart. This powerful document is a must hear for all. The book takes us on a journey through the history of the struggle for First Nations peoples to have an effective voice and to ensure it is heard. Later chapters describe for readers ‘what is a referendum?' The purpose and mechanics of the vote. Many of the frequently asked, or accused questions are laid out to debunk myths and misinformation. We are also treated to eminent scholars including Professor Fiona Stanley and Professor Marcia Langton discussing the practical implications of the Voice for supporting communities and closing the gap. This book is an invitation to everyone out there who is wondering about the voice or is perhaps feeling like they need more information to give to their loved ones. As we listen to opponents of the voice run a scare campaign behind the slogan “If you don't know, vote no”, this book claps back with “If you don't know, take the time to educate yourself”. I've got my copy and I'm going to pass it along to whoever wants to find out more. Many people will do the same and I'd challenge all you booklovers, you lovers of knowledge and those of you who want to find out, go and get a copy of The Voice to Parliament Handbook by Thomas Mayo and Kerry O'Brien. When history is made later this year it will help you to understand why this is such an important step forward for all of us.

Al Franken has had several careers. He was one of the original writers and cast members of Saturday Night Live in the mid-1970s. In fact, he was with the show for 15 years. Later he became a liberal commentator, with his own radio show. Then there was a short-lived NBC sitcom called Lateline. And then, in 2008, he ran for the United States Senate from Minnesota. And he won. Six years later, he was re-elected. But he was forced to resign his senate seat in early 2018, after allegations of sexual misconduct.

In other words, machine learning. But ML is limited by the quality of data available, and there is a lot of unstructured, unlabeled data out there that is still being manually labeled today. Scale.AI is a well known startup that has done very well offering a scalable manual labeling workforce, however they are still bottlenecked by the number of subject matter experts available for labeling critically important data, like cancer diagnosis and drug trafficking rings. In order to get labels from subject matter experts, you typically have to put them through a very tedious process of labeling to build up a useful structured dataset upfront before any useful machine learning can be done.I did some very minor ML work about 5 years ago and found Christopher Re's work on DeepDive at Stanford. It takes a revolutionary approach by making it easy to write the labeling functions themselves. This turns the labeling process into an iterative, REPL like experience where subject matter experts can suggest a function, see its impact right away, and continue refining it, assisted by AI. DeepDive is now commercialized in a startup called Snorkel.AI, so I was very excited to find a clear explanation of Snorkelflow from its CEO, Alex Ratner. Here it is!Transcript[00:01:15] Alex Ratner: [00:01:15] SnorkelFlow is a platform that's meant to take this process of building machine learning models and AI applications. And I get all starting with buildings, the data that they rely on that fuels them and make it, in a nutshell, look more like an iterative software development process. Then you know, this kind of 80, 90% upfront just, hand labeling exercise.[00:01:34]And so snorkel flow supports that entire iterative loop of, actually laboring data. Can be by hand in the platform, but also most centrally programmatically by letting users, what we call labeling. Basic idea, is that rather than say asking your, legal associate at a bank to, or your doctor friends to sit down and, label a hundred thousand contracts or a hundred thousand electronic health records have them, right.[00:02:00]Sharistics are bits of their expertise look for this keyword or look for this pattern or look for this, et cetera. I'm like a bridge from old, expert knowledge type input. Modern machine learning models using one to power. The other. So a snorkel flow is an IDE basically, and has a no-code UI component as well, but let's not people either via code or by pushing buttons for even, non-developer subject matter experts say to.[00:02:24]Programmatically labeled their data by writing these labeling functions and then uses a bunch of modeling techniques. A lot of which was actually, the work that, that the co-founding team. And I did in, in, in our kind of thesis work around how you take a bunch of programmatic data and clean it up and turn it into a final.[00:02:41]Instead of clean training data for machine learning models, and then actually in snorkel flow, you can, autumn, basically push button train best-in-class open source models. You can then analyze where they're succeeding or failing and, and use that to go back and iterate on your data.[00:02:54]And there's a Python SDK throughout the whole thing. So many of our customers will mix and match. Will you start. Create the training data set and then train the model on some other system, et cetera. But what's normal flames of support. Is it basic iterative development process where, you know, rather than just spending months to label a training at once and then being stuck with it and having to throw it out and start all over again, anything in the world changes your upstream input, data changes your downstream objectives.[00:03:18] Change, making it again more like an iterative process where you push some buttons or write some code. That label the data. You compile a model or train it, but you can think of it like compiling and then you go back and debug by, by iterating on your data, everything centers and snorkel flow around looking at your data and iterating on how it's labeled to improve models.[00:03:38]Brian Gracely: [00:03:38] I'm curious. So you mentioned you mentioned in there's a there's a Python SDK, which for anybody who, works in data science, data modeling, right? Python is your language to Frank sort of the language you use or are you a couple of them, that's the language that, you how you do your program, but I'm curious, like in today's world, Do data scientists consider themselves programmers or is there still Hey, look, I work on the numbers, I'm good at building models and the numbers, but I don't think of myself as a programmer.[00:04:08] Like how do you bridge those two worlds together or do you not really have to bridge them together? How much does the data scientists have to go? I have to focus on numbers and models versus I have to focus on programming, something to do stuff. What's their world look like?[00:04:21]Alex Ratner: [00:04:21] It's a great question. I think I, I haven't been are currently I'm part of four or five different data science institutes or something. And I don't even still know. I mean, the data science is such a broad umbrella term. There's so many different varietals of us and, and types.[00:04:35] And so I do think there's a very broad spectrum of, the data scientists. An ML engineer and just, loves writing codes are the one that, to your point really just wants to push some buttons and get back to the numbers and the modeling and the outcome. And, we definitely, try to support the range through a layered approach.[00:04:50]And, we, we have , but on top of that, we have a a no-code UI that allows you to write these wavelength functions without writing code. So for example, if you're trying to train a CA a contract classifier and snorkeled flow, you can, write Lateline functions based on clicking on keywords or pressing buttons with kind of templates for types of patterns or signals you want to look for.[00:05:11] So, No we try to support basically, if you want to move fast and you're a non developer, or you're just not looking to spend time there, you can just do it in push-button way. But then if you want to go and customize or inject custom logic or really get creative, you can always fall back to the Python SDK.[00:05:27] And so, I mean, I think a lot of the what we're trying to accomplish in the very beginning, right? Raised me abstraction know level at which you're interfacing with and programming your machine learning model or your AI application. And the first step is the hardest, right?[00:05:39] If you think of the way that hand labeled training data is, it's like the machine code, or really actually, just so you know, I think of it as like the ones and zeros, literally for binary classification cases. Yeah, a lot of the effort behind the circle project and the company is just, or was just getting from that layer to the layer of, assembly language day.[00:05:57] But once you get there, you can build all those layers on top and you can go up the stack and down the stack, according to the application of the user type, right. Actually, my co-founder Braden who was, who also did his PhD around, snorkel related stuff, had a paper actually on how you could use natural language inputs.[00:06:12] You could explain in, in natural light. Just speaking to the computer, why a certain data point should be labeled a certain way and then use off the shelf semantic parsers to parse that down to code, which then would get dumped into snorkel. So basically once you make this leap from labeling data, by ham kind of zeros and ones to labeling your training data with code, then the sky's the limit in terms of building layers of abstraction on top of it.[00:06:35] And that's actually a lot of what the company does and has been doing over the last two years is. Building a flexible interface through our platform, snorkel flow for different data types and use case types and user types. [00:06:45]Brian Gracely: [00:06:45] Yep. Well, and, and I think you, you really answered my question in there.[00:06:49] The reason I brought it up was on one hand you have this you have this language level SDK in terms of Python, you can get into, Some pretty granular level stuff. And then you have, on the other end, you've got application studio, which you said, like you said is this sort of low code graphical way of, building templates and building applications.[00:07:08] And I was like, There must be like, I think sometimes there's just perspective of there's one profile of a data scientist. And I think what you really highlighted is it, it's like a lot of things there's a spectrum of, those that specialize in one part of the job, others that don't care about it and want it, certain things to be easy.[00:07:25] And so that, that was useful because I think sometimes like in my head, I'm thinking, okay, Data scientists is served a certain sort of task the same way you might say okay, they're a Java developer. So they, there's a tool set that they always use. So that was super helpful.[00:07:39]Alex Ratner: [00:07:39] Yeah. And it depends on what the problem is too. I mean, the other thing also that I think goes under, emphasized in the air space big. Points number one. And I don't think it's that avant gardening where to say it was maybe more back in 2015 is, Hey, AI is about the data, not the models or the algorithms, which I think, fewer people will find a controversial statement today.[00:07:57]Even if it's phrases in a somewhat reductive way. But the other thing that I still think is under emphasized in practices and necessity of lupus. What we often refer to as subject matter experts into the process. And so I think w and I won't ramble here too long, but just for some perspective, and this is actually the very first funding that, that the snorkel project ever had was specifically about looping what they call SMEEs and the government subject matter experts.[00:08:20]Our original partners were some genomicists at Stanford. How do you loop them into the. Of AI in a better way than just saying, Hey go label data for eight months for me, please. And this idea of how do you get subject matter expertise from a human's head into a scalable machine format has been the focus of AI for, decades, but the answer of modern machine learning today for the last, five, 10 years.[00:08:44] Okay, just sit them down, have them labeled data points one by one, nothing else. They've got all of this rich domain knowledge, a doctor, a lawyer, a cyber analyst, network, technician, and underwriter. Throw that all away, just have them literally just, give zeros and ones labeling data. And that's a nice abstraction.[00:09:01]And it has been actually a very productive one for the field, because that means the ML engineers can totally abstract the way the messy realities of real-world data and real world subject matter experts. And just focus on optimizing, a fancier model architecture. But I think we've reached a point where it starts to become silly and impractical to have this wall.[00:09:19] The subject matter expert and the data scientists. So I'll let us loop back and say, but a big focus of circle flow is about making these interfaces in this process, accessible to a non-developer who's, a legal associate or an underwriter or a network technician and have the process too. And that's another motivation behind the kind of, layers, including no-code UI.

It’s 1974 in the suburb of Hamilton, which is about four kilometres from the heart of Newcastle. The area is an idyllic backdrop for an Australian childhood, surrounded by incredible natural beauty, with lush bushland and sprawling beaches. Many of the working class families in the suburbs of Newcastle are Catholic. Catholics belong to a parish, which has a church and a local priest. The Catholic schools in the area promise to propel students into the professional classes. Maybe they’d grow up and become a teacher or a nurse or a journalist or even a priest themselves. The three main schools in this particular diocese are Marist Brothers Hamilton, St Pius X in the nearby suburb of Adamstown and Marist Brothers Maitland. Two of these schools are, as their names suggest, run by Marist Brothers, who are an international religious community of men, dedicated to educating young people. But on October 8, 1974, something unimaginable happened. A boy named Andrew Nash dies. It will take decades for his family to discover what happened to him. In this episode, Jessie speaks with Suzanne Smith. Suzanne is a six-time Walkley Award winning investigative reporter, whose 27-year career in journalism has included senior editorial roles at the ABC, including on Foreign Correspondent, Background Briefing, Lateline and ABC News. During her time at the ABC she reported on the cover-up of clerical abuse, which helped to trigger the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in Australia. Suzanne’s new book, Altar Boys, is a powerful expose of widespread and organised clerical abuse of children in one Australian city, and how the cover-up in the Catholic Church extended from parish priests to every echelon of the organisation.

Over the course of his career, Pomerantz wrote scripts for “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Bob Newhart Show,” “Rhoda,” “The Tony Randall Show,” “Phyllis,” “Taxi,” “Cheers” and “The Cosby Show,” which he also ran for a period of time. He also was creator and executive producer on “Major Dad” and “Best of the West” and served as a creative consultant on “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,” “The Larry Sanders Show,” “Lateline” and “According to Jim.” He won two Emmy Awards, one in 1976 for serving on the writing team of “The Lily Tomlin Special” and another in 1985 for “The Cosby Show.” In what would end up being Pomerantz’s final blog post, the writer expressed gratitude toward his audience. Titled “Intermission,” the post says the following: “Troubling eye problem. Can’t write. Be back when I can. In the meantime, thanks for the company. I’ve never had more fun writing. So long. And as The Cisco Kid used to say, ‘See you soon, Ha!'” He died at the age of 75. 8 March 2020 – Max Von Sydow passed away - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/09/movies/max-von-sydow-dead.htmlMax von Sydow, the inimitable screen actor who starred in classic films like The Seventh Seal and The Exorcist, has died. The actor, who was born Carl Adolf von Sydow, studied at the Royal Dramatic Theatre before becoming an internationally renowned star. He changed his name while serving in the military prior to acting school, fashioning himself after a flea named Max that he had played in a sketch. Von Sydow would go on to have a career that spanned more than six decades. He was an actor’s actor, starring in offbeat sci-fi like Dune, horror classics like The Exorcist, and adult dramedies like Hannah and Her Sisters. He earned two Oscar nominations along the way: a best-actor nod in 1989 for Pelle the Conqueror, and a best-supporting-actor nod in 2012 for Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. But the prestige performer never shied away from mainstream fare either, playing memorable roles in projects like Flash Gordon and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, as well as TV hits like Game of Thrones—on which he played the omniscient Three-Eyed Raven. “You see, I had an odd upbringing,” von Sydow once said. “My father was a scholar, a professor in the town where I was born, and his subject was folklore. He was a master at telling stories, folktales, and adventures. I was very shy as a child and heard more fairy tales than the average child because of my father. I think this and my shyness prompted my imagination and led to an interest in make believe.” He died in Provence at the age of 90. 9 March 2020 – World record Smurf gathering – https://comicbook.com/irl/2020/03/09/smurfs-world-record-gathering-france-coronavirus/Over 3,500 people dressed in blue met up in Landerneau in the western part of France to smash the previous world record set last year in Germany. 3,549 Smurfs fans showed up for the record-breaking event on Saturday. The event came in just under the wire in terms of social gatherings as France banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people. For Smurfs fans, however, the threat of the coronavirus wasn't ever a real concern. Last February, a gathering of nearly 3,000 Smurfs fans came together in Lauchringen, Germany to break the 2009-set record of 2,510 people dressed as Smurfs. With the German group's world record being short-lived, it remains to be seen if another group will make the attempt again in 2021 with an even larger gathering. "We figured we wouldn't worry, and that as French people we wouldn't give up on our attempt to break the record," one Smurfs fan said. "Now we're champions of the world." "There's no risk, were Smurfs" they added. "Yes, we're going to Smurferize the coronavirus."Remembrances10 March 1982 – Minoru Shirota - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoru_ShirotaJapanese microbiologist. In the 1920s Shirota identified a strain of lactic acid bacteria that is part of normal gut flora that he originally called Lactobacillus casei Shirota; it appeared to help contain the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut. The strain was later reclassified as being Lactobacillus paracasei Shirota. He founded the company Yakult Honsha in 1935 to sell beverages containing the strain, branded Yakult. He died from dysentery at the age of 82 in Tokyo Japan. 10 March 2012 – F. Sherwood Rowland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F._Sherwood_RowlandFrank Sherwood "Sherry"Rowland, American Nobel laureate and a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. His research was on atmospheric chemistry and chemical kinetics. His best-known work was the discovery that chlorofluorocarbons contribute to ozone depletion. Rowland theorized that man made organic compound gases combine with solar radiation and decompose in the stratosphere, releasing atoms of chlorine and chlorine monoxide that are individually able to destroy large numbers of ozone molecules. Rowland's research, first published in Nature magazine in 1974, initiated a scientific investigation of the problem. In 1978, a first ban on CFC-based aerosols in spray cans was issued in the United States. The actual production did however not stop and was soon on the old levels. It took till the 1980s to allow for a global regulation policy. Rowland performed many measurements of the atmosphere. One experiment included collecting air samples at various cities and locations around the globe to determine CCl3F North-South mixing. By measuring the concentrations at different latitudes, Rowland was able to see that CCl3F was mixing between hemispheres quite rapidly. Rowland and his colleagues interacted both with the public and the political side and suggested various solutions, which allowed to step wise reduce the CFC impact. CFC emissions were regulated first within Canada, the United States, Sweden and Norway. In the 1980s, the Vienna Agreement and the Montreal Protocol allowed for global regulation. He died from complications of Parkinson’s disease at the age of 84 in Newport beach, California. 10 March 2012 – Bert R. Bulkin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_R._BulkinBertram Raoul Bulkin, American aeronautical engineer who participated in the first United States photo-reconnaissance satellite programs and is best known for his role in building the Hubble Space Telescope. He was assigned to the company's proposal to build the Support Systems Module or basic spacecraft for the Space Telescope or Large Space Telescope (ST or LST; later renamed the Hubble Space Telescope or HST). Early on, observers noted the design continuity between the systems modules for the Hexagon and the LST. Bulkin described the April 24, 1990 launch of the Hubble Space Telescope as "like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your brand-new Cadillac." Asked at the time of the launch what scientists hoped to see with the new instrument, he said simply, "God." As director emeritus of scientific space programs for Lockheed, Bulkin served on several national scientific advisory committees, including panels for three of the four space telescopes in NASA's Great Observatories Program: the Hubble, the Chandra, and the Spitzer. He died from a heart attack at the age of 82 in Lodi, California. Famous Birthdays10 March 1923 – Val Logsdon Fitch - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Logsdon_FitchAmerican nuclear physicist who, with co-researcher James Cronin, was awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physics for a 1964 experiment using the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory that proved that certain subatomic reactions do not adhere to fundamental symmetry principles. Specifically, they proved, by examining the decay of K-mesons, that a reaction run in reverse does not retrace the path of the original reaction, which showed that the reactions of subatomic particles are not indifferent to time. Thus the phenomenon of CP violation was discovered. This demolished the faith that physicists had that natural laws were governed by symmetry. He participated in the drop testing of mock atomic bombs that was conducted at Wendover Army Air Field and the Salton Sea Naval Auxiliary Air Station, and worked at the Trinity site, where he witnessed the Trinity nuclear test on July 16, 1945. He was born in Merriman, Nebraska. 10 March 1940 – Chuck Norris - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_NorrisCarlos Ray "Chuck" Norris, American martial artist, actor, film producer and screenwriter. After serving in the United States Air Force, Norris won many martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline Chun Kuk Do. Norris is a black belt in Tang Soo Do,Brazilian jiu jitsu and Judo. Shortly after, in Hollywood, Norris trained celebrities in martial arts. Norris went on to appear in a minor role in the spy film The Wrecking Crew. Friend and fellow actor Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in Way of the Dragon. While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested to him to take it seriously. Norris took the starring role in the action film Breaker! Breaker! which turned a profit. His second lead Good Guys Wear Black became a hit, and Norris became a popular action film star. Norris would go on to star in a streak of bankable independently-made action and martial arts films, with A Force of One, The Octagon, and An Eye for an Eye. This made Norris an international celebrity. In the 1990s, he played the title role in the long running television series Walker, Texas Ranger, from 1993 until 2001. Norris made his last film appearance to date in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables 2. In 2005, Norris found a new fame on the internet with Chuck Norris facts became an internet meme documenting humorous, fictional and often absurd feats of strength and endurance. Although Norris himself did not produce the "facts", he was hired to endorse many products that incorporated Chuck Norris facts in advertising, the phenomenon resulted in six books (two of them New York Times Best Sellers), two video games, and several appearances on talk shows, such as Late Night with Conan O'Brien where read the facts or participated in sketches. He was born in Ryan, Oklahoma. 10 March 1949 – Bill Buxton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_BuxtonWilliam Arthur Stewart Buxton, Canadian computer scientist and designer. He is a principal researcher at Microsoft Research. He is known for being one of the pioneers in the human–computer interaction field. Buxton's scientific contributions include applying Fitts' law to human-computer interaction and the invention and analysis of the marking menu (together with Gordon Kurtenbach). He pioneered multi-touch interfaces and music composition tools in the late 1970s, while working in the Dynamic Graphics Project at the University of Toronto. In 2007, he published Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design. He was born in Edmonton, Alberta. 10 March 1956 – Robert Llewellyn - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_LlewellynBritish actor, comedian, presenter and writer. He plays the mechanoidKryten in the TV sci-fi sitcomRed Dwarf and formerly presented the TV engineering gameshow Scrapheap Challenge. He also presents a YouTube series, Fully Charged. Llewellyn's involvement with Red Dwarf came about as a result of his appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing in his comedy, Mammon, Robot Born of Woman; this show was about a robot who, as he becomes more human, begins to behave increasingly badly. This was seen by Paul Jackson, producer of Red Dwarf, and he was invited to audition for the role of Kryten. In the early days of Red Dwarf he would arrive to do makeup many hours before the rest of the actors; however, that changed as time progressed as his fellow actors "have a little bit more help in the makeup department than they used to". In an interview with The Skeptic Zone, Llewellyn mentioned that he needs a special pair of glasses to be able to read the script with the Kryten mask on. In Red Dwarf, he worked hard to get the more technically difficult lines right because the show tried to be factually accurate in reference to scientific theories. He was also the only British cast member originally to participate in the American version of Red Dwarf, though other actors such as Craig Charles and Chris Barrie were also approached to reprise their roles. He was born in Northampton,Northamptonshire. Events of Interest10 March 241 BC – Battle of the Aegates: The Romans sink the Carthaginian fleet bringing the First Punic War to an end. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_AegatesThe Battle of the Aegates was a naval battle fought on 10 March 241 BC between the fleets of Carthage and Rome during the First Punic War. It took place among the Aegates Islands, off the western coast of the island of Sicily. The Carthaginians were commanded by Hanno, and the Romans were under the overall authority of Gaius Lutatius Catulus, but Quintus Valerius Falto had the battle command. It was the final battle of the 23-year-long First Punic War between Rome and Carthage. The Roman army had been blockading the Carthaginians in their last strongholds on the west coast of Sicily for several years. Almost bankrupt, the Romans borrowed money to build a naval fleet, which they used to extend the blockade to the sea. The Carthaginians assembled a larger fleet which they intended to use to run supplies into Sicily. It would then embark much of the Carthaginian army stationed there as marines. It was intercepted by the Roman fleet and in a hard-fought battle the better-trained Romans defeated the undermanned and ill-trained Carthaginian fleet. As a direct result, Carthage sued for peace and agreed to the Treaty of Lutatius, by which Carthage surrendered Sicily to Rome and paid substantial reparations. Henceforth Rome was the leading military power in the western Mediterranean, and increasingly the Mediterranean region.10 March 1972 – Silent Running came out in theatres - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_RunningSilent Running is a 1972 environmental-themed American post-apocalyptic science fiction film. It is the directorial debut of Douglas Trumbull, and stars Bruce Dern,Cliff Potts,Ron Rifkin and Jesse Vint. The plot according to IMDB "In a future where all flora is extinct on Earth, an astronaut is given orders to destroy the last of Earth's botany, kept in a greenhouse aboard a spacecraft." Douglas Trumbull says that he learned how to be a director while working on this film, as he had no training or experience in the job. Joel Hodgson, creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000, credits Silent Running as a major inspiration for his show. Bruce Dern plays a botanist in this film. His daughter Laura Dern plays a paleo-botanist in Jurassic Park.10 March 2000 – The Nasdaq Composite stock market index peaks at 5132.52, signalling the beginning of the end of the dot-com boom. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASDAQ_Composite#Dot-com_boom_and_bustThere were multiple things contributing to this Dot-com boom and bust.
