	Spall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Spalling also describes surface failure in which chips are shed from a contact point for example, in a ball bearing.
		In antitank warfare, spalling is an intended effect of the high explosive squash head (HESH) anti-tank shells and of many other munitions which may not be powerful enough to pierce the armor of a target.
		The resulting spall is dangerous to crew and equipment, and may result in a partial or complete kill of a vehicle.

	Loser Takes All - Interview with Timothy Spall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Spall once said of himself: "I know I work quite hard at making people like me." Actually, he doesn't seem to be working at all.
		Spall's father was a scaffolder, and later a postal worker; his mother ran a hairdressing business.
		Spall has been described as an "oik"; he once said: "I say I'm an oik, but that's a joke." It's something he tries to avoid, and also something he cultivates.

	Print Article: Spall's not lost
		Spall is well equipped to unravel the infamous Leigh improvisation and production process after working on six of his projects.
		But Spall is adamant that a film about depressed people is not necessarily depressing, because with Leigh at the helm the human spirit always cracks through.
		Conscious of the universal appeal of Leigh's films, Spall again refers to the "tiny moments" that he says are often lost in the swing of daily life and in particular in times of war.

	The Spall Guy - [Sunday Herald]
		Spall plays Phil, a south London cabbie marooned in a world where ends never meet and communication has been pared down to the briefest of exchanges.
		Today, Tim Spall is also marooned: on a sea of carpet in the centre of a hotel banqueting room where he is enduring a series of interviews prior to All Or Nothing's UK release.
		Spall doesn't see Cruise's patronage as a lifeline to Hollywood, nor does he need to: his work speaks for itself and his profile there is increasing steadily, a boon to a man who even now seems to think destitution is just around the corner.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Interviews \| Spall mercies
		Timothy Spall is good - you don't need me to tell you that, you can see it on screen, all the way from the first Auf Wiedersehen, Pet to the latest Mike Leigh film.
		As with all Mike Leigh films, Spall never saw a finished script and didn't know whether his character would be a bit part or the lead, but he was wildly excited after the first screening and rang me to say, 'I think it's an amazing piece of work, incredibly raw emotionally.
		Spall's face goes through the peculiar contortions that indicate deep thought before he answers: 'I don't know if that's absolutely accurate and I don't recommend leukaemia as a technique for taking stock of the way you live, or losing weight, but it definitely made me stop chasing my tail.

	SPSA Algorithm
		The theory pertains to both local optimization (Spall, 1992) and global optimization in the face of multiple local optima (Maryak and Chin, 2001) and fully allows for noisy values of the objective function.
		The algorithm has desirable properties for both global and local optimization in the sense that the gradient approximation is sufficiently noisy to allow for escape from local minima while being sufficiently informative about the slope of the function to facilitate local convergence.
		This extension is the adaptive SPSA algorithm in Spall (2000), which provides an efficient stochastic analogue to the famous Newton-Raphson algorithm from deterministic optimization (which uses gradients and Hessian [second derivative] matrices of the objective function).
