World Poverty Map Example of application of the SOM: The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) can be used to portray complex correlations in statistical data. Here the data consisted of World Bank statistics of countries in 1992.

Quipu Quipus (or khipus), sometimes called talking knots, were recording devices historically used in the region of Andean South America. A quipu usually consisted of colored, spun, and plied thread or strings from llama or alpaca hair. It could also be made of cotton cords. For the Inca, the system aided in collecting data and keeping records, ranging from monitoring tax obligations, properly collecting census records, calendrical information, and military organization.[1] The cords contained numeric and other values encoded by knots in a base ten positional system. A quipu could have only a few or up to 2,000 cords.[2] The configuration of the quipus have also been 'compared to string mops

Comune di Rimini - Cineteca comunale La Fondazione Federico Fellini è nata nel 1995 per espressa volontà della sorella del regista, Maddalena Fellini, e del Comune di Rimini, che dal 2015 ne prosegue l'attività. Gli elementi centrali del programma che la Fondazione ha svolto fino al 2014 e che il Comune di Rimini intende continuare a svolgere nei prossimi anni sono la promozione di iniziative con cui celebrare l’opera del Maestro e la costituzione di un vero e proprio centro di studi felliniani che rappresenti un punto di riferimento ineludibile sul piano nazionale e internazionale. Ciò comporta la costituzione di una biblioteca che comprenda tendenzialmente tutti i testi riguardanti il Maestro, unitamente all’archivio delle carte, delle foto, dei manifesti, dei disegni, e che integri il patrimonio cospicuo che la Fondazione ha acquisito nel corso della sua attività. Naturalmente non saranno trascurati i film, per i quali sono previsti interventi specialistici di conservazione e restauro.

Wampum Description and manufacture[edit] The white beads are made from the inner spiral of the channeled whelk shell. In the area of present New York Bay, the clams and whelks used for making wampum are found only along Long Island Sound and Narragansett Bay. The Lenape name for Long Island is Sewanacky, reflecting its connection to the dark wampum. Typically wampum beads are tubular in shape, often a quarter of an inch long and an eighth inch wide. One 17th-century Seneca wampum belt featured beads almost 2.5 inches (65 mm) long.[2] Women artisans traditionally made wampum beads by rounding small pieces of the shells of whelks, then piercing them with a hole before stringing them.
