Production Workshop
Production Workshop (PW) is a student-run theater at Brown University. Founded in 1960, it is the only entirely student-run theater on campus. PW stages 7 full-scale productions each year in its main black box theatre. History In 1958, student and future avant-garde playwright Richard Foreman sought to organize a production of Brecht's ''The Caucasian Chalk Circle'' through the university's existing theatre organization, Sock and Buskin. Citing the play's ostensible association with communism, the dean of the college refused to approve the production. In response, Foreman resigned from Sock and Buskin and organized his own series of experimental "art events" in Faunce House. Production Workshop emerged from these events and was officially established as a theater group in 1959 and 1960. The group staged its first play, Jean Giraudoux's '' L'Apollon de Marsac'' in January of 1960. A review of the play in '' The Pembroke Record'' described the production as an "experiment in low ...

Pseudo-wire
In computer networking and telecommunications, a pseudowire (or pseudo-wire) is an emulation of a point-to-point connection over a packet-switched network (PSN). The pseudowire emulates the operation of a "transparent wire" carrying the service, but it is realized that this emulation will rarely be perfect. The service being carried over the "wire" may be Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Frame Relay, Ethernet or time-division multiplexing (TDM) while the packet network may be Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Internet Protocol (IPv4 or IPv6), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3). The first pseudowire specifications were the Martini draft for ATM pseudowires, and the TDMoIP draft for transport of E1/T1 over IP. In 2001, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) set up the PWE3 working group, which was chartered to develop an architecture for service provider edge-to-edge pseudowires, and service-specific documents detailing the encapsulation techniques.
