SAPHIRE
{{primary sources, date=March 2015 SAPHIRE is a probabilistic risk and reliability assessment software tool. SAPHIRE stands for ''Systems Analysis Programs for Hands-on Integrated Reliability Evaluations''. The system was developed for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) by the Idaho National Laboratory. Development began in the mid-1980s when the NRC began exploring two notions: 1) that Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) information could be displayed and manipulated using the emerging microcomputer technology of the day and 2) the rapid advancement of PRA technology required a relatively inexpensive and readily available platform for teaching PRA concepts to students. The history of SAPHIRE 1987 Version 1 of the code called IRRAS (now known as SAPHIRE) introduced an innovative way to draw, edit, and analyze graphical fault trees. 1989 Version 2 is released incorporating the ability to draw, edit, and analyze graphical event trees. 1990 Analysis improvements to ...

Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women
Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women was a three-woman blues musical ensemble in the Washington, D.C. area. It was founded in 1984 by Ann Rabson, Gaye Adegbalola and Earlene Lewis. Lewis separated from the band in 1992 and was replaced by Andra Faye. The group then featured Rabson on piano, vocals and guitar, Adegbalola on vocals and guitar, and Faye on vocals, bass, mandolin, violin and guitar. Saffire's music was a combination of serious blues songs and comedic novelty songs. They covered original songs (such as "Do Your Duty" by Wesley 'Sox' Wilson, "You Got to Know How" by Sippie Wallace & Jack Viertel, and "Don't You Tell Me"), as well as the music of blueswomen who had inspired them, such as Big Mama Thornton, Ida Cox and Koko Taylor. Their music, both comedic and serious, tends to deal with feminist themes, which has made them popular outside of traditional blues circles. Saffire was the first acoustic band to be signed by Alligator Records. Their song "Middle Aged Blu ...
