 Articles - Montreal
Montreal lies at the confluence of several climactic regions and thus the climate in Montreal varies greatly, both by season and by day to day, and is considered a part of the culture of the city by Montrealers.
Montreal is situated in the south western corner of Quebec approximately 270 kilometres (168 miles) southwest of Quebec City, the provincial capital, and 190 kilometres (118 mi) east of Ottawa, the federal capital, and 539 kilometres (335 mi) northeast of Toronto.
Montreal is a "Gamma" global city, hosting a multitude of international festivals and events including the XXI Summer Olympiad, Juste pour Rire (Just for Laughs) comedy festival, the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix, the Montreal World Film Festival, and many others.

 Encyclopedia: ZIP Code
ZIP Codes are numbered with the first digit representing a certain group of U.S. states, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city), and the fourth and fifth digits representing more specific areas, such as small towns or regions of that city.
The reason for ZIP codes boundaries to not match city limits could be one of two reasons.
For example, ZIP codes beginning with 0 and 1 are in use in New York; beginning with 2 and 5, in the District of Columbia; and beginning with 7 and 8, in Texas.

 The Matrix: Reloaded Review PlanetWisdom.com
Once aware of that the world around them was an artificial version of 1999, a small number of humans escaped from their pods to set up a real city deep under the earth from which they waged war against the machines from both inside the artificial Matrix and in the real world.
Neo and his friends must figure out a way to shut down the Matrix before the machines destroy the city.
Within the Matrix (which the freed humans found a way to enter and exit), Neo discovered he had superpowers unlike any other human but much like the human-looking Agents, programs used by the Matrix to wipe out human opposition.

 USATODAY.com - 'Matrix Online' opens one virtual world to another
A brief reintroduction for those still scratching their heads after "The Matrix Revolutions": When we last saw Neo, aka The One, he made a truce with the evil machines and saved the last bastion of humanity in the underground city of Zion.
Another game in the so-called "massively multiplayer" genre, "City of Heroes," takes place in a city full of superheroes, but most are sword and sorcery epics filled with dungeons and dragons.
There are "red pills," humans who can freely enter the Matrix with some limits, while the remaining "blue pills" still have no idea they've been duped into living in a simulated world.

Any Autobot with the Matrix installed receives an automatic +10 on their Leadership skill during any time period prior to the episode "The Return of Optimus Prime", that is, before the Matrix was emptied of all the leaders (poor guys).
As Unicron commences in smashing Cybertron, the Autobots attack him, and Hot Rod is able to use the power of the Matrix to destroy Unicron.
The Autobots struggle to rid their homeworld of Cybertron from the clutches of the Decepticons, and fight an unending battle to protect the Earth from the evil force which would pillage the human-world of her vital resources.

 City Journal Autumn 1998 Willie Brown Shows How Not to Run a City by Matthew Robinson, Brian C. Anderson
City Supervisor Amos Brown (no relation to the mayor) is a case in point: he proposed that San Francisco supply the homeless with shopping carts in which they could store their worldly possessions—an encouragement to stay homeless.
During the 1995 mayoral race, Brown made undoing Operation Matrix key to his campaign, describing the program, in language that recalled the fever years of the sixties, as "persons in uniforms operating as if they are occupational officers in a conquered land." In one of his first mayoral acts, he junked Matrix.
While Mayor Brown hasn't yet endorsed the shopping-cart idea, a few months back he floated a notion just as absurd: setting up a mobile car park, replete with showers, toilets, and garbage service, for the 2,000 or so people in the city who live out of their cars—still technically a crime in San Francisco.

 CSC 5542 Neural Networks Spring 2002 Assignment #1
Convergence Criteria :   If there is a unique neuron in each row and column with activation above the threshold, then halt the simulation and declare that permutation matrix to be the "output".
Convergence Problems :   Unfortunately, there may be cases when the neural activations do not converge to a state that corresponds, unambiguously, to a permutation matrix.
Fuzzy Read Out:   In a creative attempt to "read" the network activations at every iteration (i.e.: convert the activations into a tour even when the activations are very small and when there is no clear winner in each row and column)   I invented what I call the "fuzzy read out".

 Retro Junk TF The Movie... Aka Star Wars
The autobot matrix of leadership is passed on to Magnus Prime, although the fact that Hot Rod touches it first (amidst a blue glow) pretty much gives it away that it’s already chosen who it likes.
Galvatron is cast into space by the newly big and strong Hot Rod and the power of the glowing blue orb aka the matrix proceeds to give Unicron a very bad case of indigestion..
The autobots turn up at this point and are a little shocked… their response to this is to crash through one of Unicrons eyes and go exploring his insides… as you do.

The premise of The Matrix is that "reality" (as almost everyone perceives it) is actually just an illusion perpetuated by the Artificial Intelligence (AI - AI also stands for assistant Instructor but that's just coincidence) which rules the world and lives of human "bio-electricity".
- the illusion of reality motif is very common in films: the film Dark City is based on a very similar premise to the Matrix and the Truman Show has some of these themes

 This Week's Hot Pick: 'The Matrix Reloaded'
In part two, Neo accepts his fate, gains superpowers and embarks on a quest to fulfill his destiny by journeying through numerous obstacles to reach the "Main Frame" of the Matrix -- hopefully in time to save the one human city left on the planet.
The 1999 smash "The Matrix" was built on a fascinating premise: Everything around us is merely a computer-generated dream world -- the Matrix -- monitored by artificially intelligent machines that have taken over the world but need human biological energy to run it.
The second of the films in the "Matrix" trilogy is a cog in a family of sequels that compose a daring multimedia experiment in storytelling.

 The City Raccoon and the Country Raccoon - Summer 2002
Rather, it suggests that raccoons raised in a forest preserve tend to remain in that preserve, while raccoons born inside the urban matrix will likely continue to reside in the city or suburban neighborhood they are familiar with.
Raccoons don't hibernate, but they do spend many weeks in a dormant state in winter, burning fat reserves and waiting for the occasional snow-free, mild-temperature evening when they might be able to come out and forage.
Instead, for the most part radio-collared raccoons didn't even travel around the entire forest preserve; their territories are quite small within the preserve, and though they might venture a few blocks into the subdivisions, none of the study animals left for good and built dens.

 Amazon.co.uk: DVD: The Matrix [1999]
The biggest difference to the film is that outside our matrix lies paradise rather than the dark world portrayed in the film.
Helping the film stand out from rivals Dark City (1998) and The Thirteenth Floor (1999) was the introduction of the celebrated "bullet time" visual effects, though otherwise the war-against-the-machines story, hard-hitting style and kinetic set-pieces such as the corporate lobby shoot-out lean heavily on Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).
The set-up isn't without its absurdities, though--quite why super-intelligent machines bother to use humans as batteries instead of something more docile like cows, for example, is never explained, nor is how they expect these living batteries to produce more energy than it takes to maintain them.

 Morpheus (The Matrix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morpheus was the captain of the Nebuchadnezzar, a hovercraft of the human forces of the last human city, Zion, in a devastated world where most humans are grown by sentient Machines and kept imprisoned in the Matrix, a virtual computer-generated world.
Morpheus was barely able to escape the treatment facility; however, upon escaping, the Assassin bent the code of the Matrix and emerged from a vent in the wall.
This aspect of Morpheus' history was dropped, although the notion of five Ones before Neo was reused in The Matrix Reloaded.

Operation Matrix worked: the homeless moved to friendlier locales or entered the city's abundant shelters, serious crime dropped 25 percent, public feelings of safety grew, and tourists, who bring $4 billion into the Bay area, flooded in.
City Supervisor Amos Brown (no relation to the mayor) is a case in point: he proposed that San Francisco supply the homeless with shopping carts in which they could store their worldly possessions—an encouragement to stay homeless.
Though 10 percent of the city's workforce still toils in finance, insurance, and real estate, San Francisco's economy increasingly depends on the spending of single, childless, twenty-something city dwellers who love the city's hip cafés, chic restaurants, and libertine culture but who work in Silicon Valley, where the average salary is a healthy $75,000.

The drawing on which the signs and the qualities that pertain to them are indicated, consists of the map of the city of Groningen, transected with straight and curved lines, a matrix that gives the city an apparently random and cryptic structure.
In that respect Groningen is still the natural centre of the province, the lowest point of a shellshaped structure that denotes the city, where all the lines from the four quarters meet: roads, railway lines, canals.
The citizen of Groningen or the regular visitor to the city will in the course of time discover the signs (or at any rate some of them) as he enters the city by all the different routes on his travels.
