Common Gateway Interface

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard way for web servers to interface with executable programs installed on a server that generate web pages dynamically. Such programs are known as CGI scripts or simply CGIs; they are usually written in a scripting language, but can be written in any programming language.

History

In 1993 the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) team wrote the specification for calling command line executables on the www-talk mailing list; however, NCSA no longer hosts the specification. The other Web server developers adopted it, and it has been a standard for Web servers ever since. A work group chaired by Ken Coar started in November 1997 to get the NCSA definition of CGI more formally defined. This work resulted in RFC 3875, which specified CGI Version 1.1. Specifically mentioned in the RFC are the following contributors:

  • Rob McCool (author of the NCSA HTTPd Web Server)
  • John Franks (author of the GN Web Server)
  • Ari Luotonen (the developer of the CERN httpd Web Server)
  • CGI

    CGI Group

    CGI Group Inc.,Conseillers en gestion et informatique more commonly known as CGI, is a global information technology (IT) consulting, systems integration, outsourcing, and solutions company headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 1976 by Serge Godin and André Imbeau as an IT consulting firm, the company soon began branching into new markets and acquiring other companies. CGI went public in 1986 with a primary listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. CGI is also a constituent of the S&P/TSX 60, and has a secondary listing on the New York Stock Exchange. After almost doubling in size with the 1998 acquisition of Bell Sygma, CGI acquired IMRGlobal in 2001 for $438 million, which added "global delivery options" for CGI. Other significant purchases include American Management Systems (AMS) for $858 million in 2004, which grew CGI's presence in the United States, Europe and Australia and led to the formation of the CGI Federal division.

    CGI Federal's 2010 acquisition of Stanley, Inc. for $1.07 billion almost doubled CGI's presence in the United States, and expanded CGI into defense and intelligence contracts. In 2012 CGI acquired Logica for $2.7 billion Canadian, making CGI the fifth-largest independent business processes and IT services provider in the world, and the biggest tech firm in Canada. In 2014 CGI ranked No. 974 on the Forbes Forbes Global 2000, which ranks the world's largest public companies. At the time CGI had assets worth USD $11.1 billion, annual sales of $9.9 billion, and a market value of $9.6 billion. As of 2015 CGI is based in forty countries with around 400 offices, and employs approximately 65,000 people. Canada made up 15% of CGI's client base of March 2015. 29% was in the United States, while around 40% of their commissions came from Europe. 15% was the rest of the world.

    Woman

    A woman is a female human. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". "Woman" may also refer to a person's gender identity. Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause. In the context of gender identity, transgender people who are biologically determined to be male and identify as women cannot give birth. Some intersex people who identify as women cannot give birth due to either sterility or inheriting one or more Y chromosomes. In extremely rare cases, people who have Swyer syndrome can give birth with medical assistance. Throughout history women have assumed or been assigned various social roles.

    Etymology

    The spelling of woman in English has progressed over the past millennium from wīfmann to wīmmann to wumman, and finally, the modern spelling woman. In Old English, wīfmann meant "female human", whereas wēr meant "male human". Mann or monn had a gender-neutral meaning of "human", corresponding to Modern English "person" or "someone"; however, subsequent to the Norman Conquest, man began to be used more in reference to "male human", and by the late 13th century had begun to eclipse usage of the older term wēr. The medial labial consonants f and m in wīfmann coalesced into the modern form "woman", while the initial element, which meant "female", underwent semantic narrowing to the sense of a married woman ("wife"). It is a popular misconception that the term "woman" is etymologically connected with "womb", which is from a separate Old English word, wambe meaning "stomach" (of male or female; modern German retains the colloquial term "Wampe" from Middle High German for "potbelly"). Nevertheless, such a false derivation of "woman" has appeared in print.

    Women (novel)

    Women is a 1978 novel written by Charles Bukowski, starring his semi-autobiographical character Henry Chinaski. In contrast to Factotum, Post Office and Ham on Rye, Women is centered on Chinaski's later life, as a celebrated poet and writer, not as a dead-end lowlife. It does, however, feature the same constant carousel of women with whom Chinaski only finds temporary fulfillment.

    Plot

    Women focuses on the many dissatisfactions Chinaski faced with each new woman he encountered. One of the women featured in the book is a character named Lydia Vance; she is based on Bukowski's one-time girlfriend, the sculptress and sometime poet Linda King. Another central female character in the book is named "Tanya" who is described as a 'tiny girl-child' and Chinaski's pen-pal. They have a weekend tryst. The real-life counterpart to this character wrote a self-published chapbook about the affair entitled "Blowing My Hero" under the pseudonym Amber O'Neil. The washed-up folksinger "Dinky Summers" is based on Bob Lind.

    Women (album)

    Women is the debut album by Calgary band Women, recorded by fellow Calgary-native Chad VanGaalen. It was released in 2008 on VanGaalen's Flemish Eye record label in Canada, and on Jagjaguwar in the US. The song "Sag Harbour Song" is a direct reference to the suicide of the artist Ray Johnson, like "Locust Valley" and "Venice Lockjaw" on Women's second album of 2010, Public Strain.

    Recording

    Women was recorded by Polaris Music Prize-nominated Chad VanGaalen, in "[VanGaalen's] basement, an outdoor culvert and a crawlspace." It was recorded using boom boxes and tape machines, contributing to its lo-fi sound.

    Reception

    Women was released to favourable reviews, with Cokemachineglow naming it as "the best 'indie rock' record released [in 2008], hands down."

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Ghetto Show

    by: Common

    Ghetto to ghetto, backyard to yard
    We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods (come on)
    Precious metals round our necks and arms (yea)
    We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods
    Ghetto to ghetto, backyard to yard
    We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods (come on)
    Precious metals round our necks and arms (yea)
    We tear it up y'all, bless the mic with the gods
    (Hook: Anthony Hamilton)
    Whatever in your heart is where you want to be
    My hood is the ghetto
    Even when you look
    Its never what you see
    My hood is the ghetto
    I've been down before up is just a reach
    Cause my hood is the ghetto
    Catch a second wind
    Then begin again
    My hood is the ghetto
    (Verse 1: Common)
    Black magic in the hood, its tragic but understood
    Crack addicts, crack windows, crack wood
    Even whats bad becomes good, status becomes stood
    Upon the pedestal welcome to the ghetto show
    Federal buildings, pissy hallways filled with children pushing children
    Fiends lips peeling, shit seems real and
    What's real is the estate of mind that we're in
    The situation feels great
    My man peels weight, so he can fill plates
    You might get love but you still feel hate
    Through and chain plates, we communicate
    Chicago to brooklyn nigga real ones do relate
    (Verse 2: Talib Kweli)
    If lyrics sold then truth be told
    I'll probably be just as rich and famous as jay-z
    Truthfully I wanna rhyme like common sense
    Next best thing I do a record with common sense
    Cause its the music, its blues, its jazz, its acoustics
    Soul, rock and roll the hip hop we be producing yea
    It's the gear, it's the flare, it's the stare
    Nowadays they'll shot you where they used to shoot the fair
    Remember the lost soldiers, pour a beer, shoot the air
    We got our own elected officials, no matter who the mayor
    I know you know what I'm talking about
    From New York to the South, take off your shoes when you walk in the house
    (Hook)
    (Verse 3: Talib Kweli)
    I grew up where they're playing skele in the parking lot
    And sell paintings of Aaliyah, BIG and Pac up in the barbershop
    Buildings too big so you don't really see the stars a lot
    But rapping, drinking, and going to prison you see them bars a lot
    I feel the spirit in the dark and hear it in my heart
    And always keep my ears to the block till I dearly depart
    Hip hop is really the art
    We have to express the part of ourselves that make us want to martyr ourselves
    It ain't harder to tell when somebody stick you up and put the hammer to you
    They want them dead presidents like Stickman and Mutulu
    With a gun to your jaw, these kids don't run anymore
    Kicks is a hundred or more
    (Verse 4: Common)
    A man in front of the store, begging for money and mercy
    I told him say a prayer under his breath, he cursed me
    Niggaz is thirsty, I heard it's a drought
    Up early, serving from their grandmother's house
    Sometime the ghetto feels desolate, yo the eyes of the hood yo is desperate
    Effected by the deficit, times and lessons get hard
    Either get by or get god, but but you try to get by
    It's like the block keep blocking
    You try to make moves, its like the car just keep stopping
    We shorties in the court, need cochran yea
    I tell them why the weed seeds popping, in the game you need options
    No time for feet watching, me and kwe keep rocking for the ghetto
