Claudia L. Gordon
|
Claudia L. Gordon (born March 1972) is the first deaf Black female attorney in the United States and the first deaf graduate of American University's law school. She currently serves as Chair of the National Council on Disability as well as Senior Accessibility Strategy Partner at T-Mobile within its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team. Prior to joining the telecom industry, Gordon held various roles in the public sector from 2002 to 2017—most notably as the associate director in the White House Office of Public Engagement, where she advised White House offices and senior officials including former President Barack Obama on disability issues. This political appointment made Gordon the first deaf person to work at the White House in a detailee capacity. Early life Gordon was born in St. Mary, Jamaica in March 1972. She suddenly lost her sense of hearing at the age of eight. At the time, she was in the care of her aunt Mildred Taylor, a teacher. She took her to a clinic and healers, to no avail. The clinic nurse couldn't diagnose the pain in Gordon's middle ears, nor could the healers restore her hearing. Her family was then forced to take her out of primary school for almost two years since her school couldn't accommodate her needs as a deaf student. She was kept at home to do chores instead. When Gordon was eleven, she emigrated to the United States and reunited with her mother, who was living in South Bronx, New York. Education When she was eleven, Gordon attended a public school before enrolling at the Lexington School and Center for the Deaf in New York. At Lexington, she learned sign language for the first time and became the valedictorian of her junior and senior high school graduating classes. She was also active in sports, student organizations, and community activities. One of these activities is the mock trial sponsored by the American Bar Association. For three years, Gordon was a member of the only deaf mock trial team in New York and the only deaf high school to ever win the competition. It was in high school when Gordon knew she wanted to be a lawyer, with the discrimination she experienced in Jamaica as her inspiration.In 1995, Gordon graduated with honors from Howard University. Along with her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, she also earned a spot in The Patricia Roberts Harris Public Affairs Fellowship, Golden Key National Honor Society, and Political Science Honor Society. In 2000, Gordon became the first deaf student to graduate from the American University, Washington College of Law. She was one of the only approximately fifty qualified deaf lawyers in the U.S. and Canada back then. While at WCL, she bagged the Myers Law Scholarship twice as well as the J. Franklin Bourne Scholarship. Career 2000 - 2003: Non-profit organization After law school, Gordon was awarded a two-year fellowship with Skadden Fellowship Foundation. With her fellowship project sponsored by the National Association of the Deaf, she "provided direct representation and advocacy for poor deaf persons, with a particular emphasis placed on outreach to members of minority groups". 2002 - 2017: Government agencies Gordon's career in the public sector started with the National Council on Disability, where she was a consulting attorney. After a year in service, she was appointed as an attorney advisor and later promoted to senior policy advisor for the United States Department of Homeland Security, Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. She was instrumental in drafting and implementing an executive order on Individuals with Disabilities in Emergency Preparedness. Notably, Gordon was deployed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 where she served as the disability and elderly populations' civil rights subject matter expert at the Joint Field Office (JFO). While there she developed and executed technical assistance and training to JFO staff and coordinate resolutions of discrimination and accessibility issues. Gordon became a member of the Obama Administration from 2009 to 2017. During the Presidency of Barack Obama, she served as the Special Assistant and subsequently as the Chief of Staff to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs Director in the United States Department of Labor. She was also the associate director at the White House Office of Public Engagement. Gordon was part of the Presidential Delegation of Barack Obama sent to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the Opening Ceremony of the 2016 Summer Paralympics. 2017 - present: Private sector and National Council on Disability Before joining T-Mobile to lead strategies for disability-inclusive culture and accessible work environment, Gordon was a Senior Manager of Government and Compliance at Sprint.

Mechanicsville Historic District
|
The Mechanicsville Historic District encompasses a small and cohesive working-class neighborhood west of downtown Danville, Virginia. The district is bounded by Upper Street on the northwest; North Floyd Street on the northeast; High Street on the southeast; and North Ridge Street on the southwest. This area was developed beginning roughly in 1880 as a residential district catering to workers in the nearby tobacco-processing facilities. The houses in the district are in a blend of styles, but are characterized by similar lot sizes and setbacks. The district includes two churches, and a building that originally served as a tobacco prizery (a building where tobacco leaves are packed into barrels). The neighborhood was a center of civil rights activism during the 1960s, playing host to Martin Luther King Jr. It was once somewhat larger; areas to the west and north were razed during urban redevelopment efforts. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Danville, Virginia References

ITH Pharma
|
ITH Pharma is a British compounding pharmaceutical company, founded in 2008 by two pharmacists. History It began in 1997 when Hamling spotted a gap in the market for patients to get complex intravenous treatments on a same-day basis. Hamling raised £150,000 from family to start their first compounding company. They received their license from the MHRA in August 1998 and pioneered a same-day intravenous medication service, through their first contract from the Royal Brompton Hospital, London for prefilled syringes of antibiotics for cystic fibrosis children. After selling their first company, they used the proceeds to set up ITH Pharma in 2008. Controversy In June 2014, a batch of intravenous feed supplied to hospitals by ITH Pharma in the UK for neonatal care was delivered in an allegedly contaminated state, with about 16 alleged cases of blood poisoning in infants. On 31 October 2018 the BBC reported that ITH Pharma were charged with a number of offences following the deaths and illness of babies in some hospitals in England. They were charged with seven counts of supplying medicinal product not of the quality specified in the prescription. They were also charged with failing to take reasonable steps to ensure patients are not infected by contaminants, in breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act. The babies, many of whom were premature, were being fed through drips in neonatal intensive care units, between 2009 and 2014. ITH Pharma said it was disappointed by the decision to charge the company and would "vigorously defend" the case. In January 2022 ITH Pharma entered guilty pleas to three charges, admitting supplying contaminated feed and expressing "We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of the patients affected." ITH Pharma was ordered to pay £1.2m by a crown court in 2022 and accepted blame for providing infected TPN to 19 premature babies across nine hospitals in 2014.

Yurii Nesterov
|
Yurii Nesterov is a Russian mathematician, an internationally recognized expert in convex optimization, especially in the development of efficient algorithms and numerical optimization analysis. He is currently a professor at the University of Louvain (UCLouvain). Biography In 1977, Yurii Nesterov graduated in applied mathematics at Moscow State University. From 1977 to 1992 he was a researcher at the Central Economic Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Since 1993, he has been working at UCLouvain, specifically in the Department of Mathematical Engineering from the Louvain School of Engineering, Center for Operations Research and Econometrics. In 2000, Nesterov received the Dantzig Prize. In 2009, Nesterov won the John von Neumann Theory Prize. In 2016, Nesterov received the EURO Gold Medal. In 2023, Yurii Nesterov and Arkadi Nemirovski received the WLA Prize in Computer Science or Mathematics, "for their seminal work in convex optimization theory". Academic work Nesterov is most famous for his work in convex optimization, including his 2004 book, considered a canonical reference on the subject. His main novel contribution is an accelerated version of gradient descent that converges considerably faster than ordinary gradient descent (commonly referred as Nesterov momentum, Nesterov Acceleration or Nesterov accelerated gradient, in short — NAG). This method, sometimes called "FISTA", was further developed by Beck & Teboulle in their 2009 paper "A Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm for Linear Inverse Problems". His work with Arkadi Nemirovski in their 1994 book is the first to point out that the interior point method can solve convex optimization problems, and the first to make a systematic study of semidefinite programming (SDP). Also in this book, they introduced the self-concordant functions which are useful in the analysis of Newton's method. References External links

Volumetric printing
|
Volumetric printing is a three-dimensional digital-to-physical imaging technology developed in 2013 that uses ink or other pigments suspended in a volume to form a full-color volumetric scene in physical space. It is a static version of volumetric display. Volumetric prints are auto-stereoscopic, full parallax (in both horizontal and vertical viewing arrangements) and can be viewed by multiple viewers in regular room lighting. A volumetric print can be thought of as a reconstructed light field based on the scattering of light by distributed pigments in volume. Any three-dimensional scene can be volumetrically printed, although biological specimens and volumetrically X-rayed objects (i.e., CT scans) are thought to be particularly well suited to this type of imaging. Procedure There are several methods for producing a volumetric print, the most common being an index-matched stack of hundreds of sheets of thin clear material (most often PMMA, also known as Lucite or acrylic). Each sheet in the volumetric stack is printed with a color slice of a digital 3D model, placed in a vacuum chamber, and then injected with a fluid matching the index of refraction of the sheet material. Volumetric printing has been called "Hologram 2.0" by a company marketing the technology. Volumetric prints however are not produced in the same manner as holograms, in that there is no interference pattern generated or used in basic volumetric prints.

Game & Graphics
|
Game & Graphics (sometimes written Game And Graphics) is a documentary blog about the visual creativity in the videogame culture. The website contains a huge and selected collection of videogame design works and creativity, including logotypes, printed advertising, cover and label design, packaging, book and magazine design, official artworks and illustrations, and sprite design among others. This selection is specially focused on classic gaming and with a prominent presence of Japanese game design. History The site was created in 2010 by Daruma Studio, a graphic design studio originally based in Barcelona, run by freelance designer Sebastià López. After working for several videogame developers, Sebastià found that there was a lack of websites focused on gaming culture graphics, excluding from here random collections of fan art. The idea was to create a blog site edited and curated from the perspective of an experienced graphic designer, where other graphic designers could find inspiration from the best visual designs in the history of videogames, and at the same time an enjoyable place for videogame culture enthusiasts.

|
Mattia Caldara (; born 5 May 1994) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Serie B club Modena. Club career Atalanta 2013–14 season Born in Bergamo, Caldara began his career with hometown club Atalanta, entering in the youth categories. He played for the Primavera team from 2011 to 2014,Fullsoccer (in Italian) (2013–14 season as an overage player), and on 5 May 2014, Caldara made his professional debut coming on as a second-half substitute in a Serie A match against Catania.

On 16 May, Caldara scored his first professional goal in the 96th minute of a 1–1 away draw against Avellino. On 22 May he scored his second goal in the 49th minute of a 2–1 home win over Pro Vercelli. Caldara ended his season-long loan to Trapani with 21 appearances and 2 goals. Loan to Cesena On 10 July 2015, Caldara was signed by Serie B side Cesena on a temporary deal, with an option to purchase. On 9 August he made his debut for Cesena in a 4–0 home win over Lecce in the second round of Coppa Italia. On 20 August he played in the third round, a 4–1 away win over Catania. On 5 September, Caldara made his Serie B debut for Cesena, as a starter, in a 2–0 home win against Brescia. On 21 November, Caldara scored his first goal for Cesena in the 28th minute of a 1–1 away draw against Vicenza. On 8 December he was sent off with a double yellow card in the 89th minute of a 0–0 home draw against Trapani.

On 7 March, Caldara was sent off for the second time with a double yellow card in the 27th minute of a 2–1 home defeat against Salernitana. Caldara ended his loan to Cesena with 29 appearances, all as a starter, and 2 goals. 2016–17 season: Return to Atalanta After impressing newly appointed head coach Gian Piero Gasperini during pre-season, Caldara cemented a first-team place for the 2016–17 season; in manager's favored 3–4–3 formation, he began to play in the center of a back three. On 2 October he made his post-return debut in Serie A for Atalanta in a 1–0 home win over Napoli. On 26 October, Caldara scored his first goal for Atalanta and the only goal in the 60th minute of a 1–0 away win over Pescara. On 6 November he scored his second goal for Atalanta in the 24th minute of a 3–0 away win over Sassuolo. On 20 November he scored his third goal in 62nd minute of a 2–1 home win against Roma. After beating Everton in the Europa League, Caldara gained notoriety when he took off his outer clothes and strutted around the field in his briefs. Juventus On 12 January 2017, Juventus announced that they had signed Caldara to a four-and-a-half-year contract for an initial transfer fee of €15 million, rising to a potential €25 million with add-ons. The deal also included a free loan, remaining at Atalanta until 30 June 2018. Following the end of his loan deal with Atalanta, Caldara moved to Turin, where on 13 July 2018 he was officially presented as Juventus player and given the number 13 jersey with his last name on. He played his debut and only game for Juventus on 25 July 2018, an International Champions Cup friendly against Bayern Munich, replacing captain Giorgio Chiellini eight minutes into the second half. AC Milan 2018–19 season On 2 August 2018, Caldara was signed by AC Milan on a five-year contract for €35 million payable in two years, with Leonardo Bonucci moving in the opposite direction in a similar deal. While being unable to choose 13 as his shirt number to pay tribute to Alessandro Nesta since it had already been taken by Alessio Romagnoli for the same reason, he opted for an available number 33, citing admiration for Thiago Silva. In his first month at Milanello, Caldara struggled with adapting to a four-man defense line with zonal marking, having played most of his career in teams that utilized a three-man defense with man-marking. On 20 September 2018, Caldara made his official debut for Milan, playing as a starter alongside Romagnoli in a Europa League away match against F91 Dudelange. However, he failed to make a single appearance in October 2018, struggling with minor injuries that affected his overall fitness. Later that month, he suffered an Achilles tendon rupture, which sidelined him until February 2019. In April, a few days after Milan's 1–0 Coppa Italia semifinal loss to Lazio at the San Siro, in which Caldara played for 65 minutes as a starter, he suffered an even worse training injury, rupturing his left anterior cruciate ligament, which sidelined him for another period of 6 months. 2019–20 season Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Caldara gave away his number 33 shirt to Rade Krunić and later settled on the number 31 instead. Having recovered from his ACL injury, he resumed training sessions at full capacity on 9 October 2019, which coincided with Stefano Pioli's first day in Milan as a head coach. However, as Pioli was still reluctant to include Caldara in the first team line-ups 3 months since his full recovery from injuries, he submitted a loan or transfer request in early January 2020. Return to Atalanta On 12 January 2020, it was announced that Caldara had joined Atalanta on loan from Milan until June 2021, with the option to buy for an undisclosed price. Three days later, he made his second post-return debut for Atalanta, playing for 77 minutes in a 1–0 away Coppa Italia loss against Fiorentina. On 19 February 2020, Caldara made his UEFA Champions League debut, playing for 75 minutes as a starter in a 4–1 home win against Valencia at the San Siro. Loan to Venezia On 9 August 2021, Caldara joined Venezia on loan with an option to buy. On 15 August, Caldara debuted for Venezia in a 1–1 draw against Frosinone in the first round of Coppa Italia, where Venezia won 8–7 at penalty shoot-out, with Caldara scoring from his kick. Loan to Spezia On 17 July 2022, Caldara joined Spezia on loan for the 2022–23 season. 2023–24 season Caldara, on a final year of his contract with Milan, began pre-season with the team on 10 July. He was left out of the squad for a friendly tournament in the United States, partially due to sprained ankle. Generally considered out of the club's senior team project by head coach Stefano Pioli and the board of directors, he was put on the transfer market immediately after his return. Despite some interest from Beşiktaş and Hellas Verona, no move materialized before closure of the summer transfer window on 1 September. Caldara was assigned number 30 shirt and included on the season's squad list for the Serie A and Coppa Italia competitions. In September, he also became a surprise inclusion on the team's squad list for the Champions League, mainly due to regulations that allow each club to register four homegrown players. However, just days before start of the competition, Caldara had a surgery on his right ankle, the recovery from which ruled him out for at least three months, which effectively made him miss all the group matches. On 12 February 2024, Caldara was reported to have completed his post-surgery rehabilitation and returned to training with the rest of the team. He, however, lost his place in the Milan's squad list for the 2023–24 UEFA Europa League knockout phase to new signing Filippo Terracciano. On 25 May 2024, after almost six years since his transfer to AC Milan, Caldara played his first and the only game for the club in Serie A, coming on as a substitute for Matteo Gabbia in the second half of the eventual 3-3 draw against Salernitana at San Siro on the final matchday of the season. Following the game's conclusion, his departure alongside that of several other players as well as the manager Stefano Pioli, had been confirmed. Modena On 2 July 2024, Caldara signed a one-year contract with Serie B club Modena as a free agent. International career In June 2017, Caldara was included in the Italy under-21 squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship by manager Luigi Di Biagio. Italy were eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals on 27 June, following a 3–1 defeat. Caldara made his senior international debut for Italy under Roberto Mancini in a 3–1 friendly loss to France in Nice on 1 June 2018. Style of play Caldara is a tall and physically strong center back contributing defensively and offensively. Although capable of playing in a back four, he is most comfortable and confident in the middle of a back three, such as in 3–4–3 or 3–5–2 formations. At Atalanta, while playing under coach Gian Piero Gasperini, he was allowed to make occasional forward runs during the attacking play and be present at all set pieces, which helped him score 10 goals in just two seasons. Courtesy of his imposing physique, he finds himself at ease in areal duels and headers. Tactically, Caldara has cited Alessandro Nesta as the biggest inspiration, in tribute of whom he had chosen 13 as his shirt number multiple times.

The School Fund

The School Fund is a person-to-person crowdfunding platform and nonprofit organization through which donors directly contribute to educational scholarships for low-income students in countries that do not offer free, public secondary school.Lamb, Gregory M., "Matt Severson Funds Students in Need One by One", The Christian Science Monitor, September 16, 2014 Like other civic crowdfunding platforms,Hollow, Matthew,“Crowdfunding and Civic Society in Europe: A Profitable Partnership”, Open Citizenship, vol. 4, issue 1, 2013 through The School Fund, large numbers of online visitors support philanthropic efforts by pooling small contributions. The School Fund crowdfunds for students who have been identified by their teachers or local school officials as not having enough money to continue paying to go to school.Goodman, Lawrence, "Matt Severson, '11", Brown Alumni Magazine, May/June 2011. Globally, 115 million children do not attend school,Unicef, “On Global Action Week on Education, millions of children still not in school”, April 23, 2007 and school fees contribute to this dropout rate by making education cost-prohibitive for impoverished students in developing countries.Epstein, Mark J. and Kristi Yuthas, “Redefining Education in the Developing World: A new approach that builds relevant marketplace, entrepreneurship, and health care skills is needed”, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Winter 2012, School fees often disproportionately affect girls, with many impoverished families dedicating their limited money to educating their sons rather than their daughters.Weller, Drika "A Global Education Crisis Disproportionately Affecting Girls" Girl Rising. Methods The School Fund employs a donation-based crowdfunding model to fund annual student needs, which start at around $150 per year. "For Just $150, You Can Send a Kid to High School", TakePart Live, August 14, 2014. Donors give online, but some conduct their own small fundraisers offline for individual students before contributing.Gomstyn, Alice "Brothers Start Pancake Business to Fund Kenyan Teen's School Tuition", Babble, July 2014. Donors receive school receipts showing 100 percent of their donation has been applied to the educational costs of the specific student they opted to fund.Byrne, Kate,“Education: Giving Voice and Choice to Girls - That Which Can Be Learned Can Never be Taken Away”,OpenIDEO, March 1, 2014 The majority of The School Fund's students reside in sub-Saharan Africa, where education has been tied to poverty reduction and has been linked to improvements in gender equality, health and nutrition, reductions in infant and child mortality and decreases in the prevalence of HIV/AIDS.Kanamori, Mariano J. and Thomas Pullum,“Indicators of Child Deprivation in Sub-Saharan Africa: Levels and Trends from the Demographic and Health Surveys”, USAID, December 2013 Similar to Kiva's partnership modelWalker, Ken, "The Kiva Effect", Christianity Today, The School Fund partners with a network of non-governmental organizations which identify qualified students to post on the crowdfunding platform.Kendrick, Chris,“Palo Alto Nonprofit Funds Education Around the World”, Palo Alto Weekly, September 15, 2013 History The School Fund was founded in 2010 by Matt Severson, Roxana Moussavian and Andrew Perrault, all then Brown University students.Korngold, Alice, “CGI University Gets Involved: Microscholarships, Hens for Haiti, Waterwheels and More”, "Fast Company", March 29, 2012 The idea to raise money for students' school fees stemmed from Severson's 2007 trip to Tanzania, where he met a boy who could not afford to pay his school fees.

Many working children do not go to school or drop out due to the opportunity costs to parents for keeping their children in school instead of working.Thortsen, Dorte, “Children Working in Commercial Agriculture: Evidence from West and Central Africa”, UNICEF, April 2012 For many poor households, the expense of school fees prohibits children from attending school altogether.Peverly, S.

In countries that have eliminated primary school fees, increased primary school attendance has not necessarily led to transition rates to secondary school. "Bottlenecks" in these countries' educational systems are often caused by the increased costs families associate with secondary school for tuition fees, uniforms and time away from employment and household chores.Provost, Claire,“Developing countries face growing secondary education challenge”, The Guardian, October 25, 2011 Secondary education is more costly per student than primary education and distance to school often increases at the secondary level.Motivans, Albert,“Global Education Digest 2011: Comparing Educational Statistics Across the World”, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, 2011, p. 8 By August 2014, The School Fund had assisted over 850 secondary level students, in 15 developing countries.Severson, Matt, "71 Million High School Age Kids Have Dropped Out--Here's a Way to Help", TakePart, August 14, 2014.

Fear of Men (band)
|
Fear of Men is a Brighton-based band that formed in early 2011 and consists of Jess Weiss (vocals/guitar), Daniel Falvey (guitars/keyboards) and Michael Miles (drums). On 12 February 2013 the band released a reverse chronological compilation of their early singles through Kanine Records called Early Fragments. The band released their debut album Loom in April 2014 through Kanine Records. A limited edition Record Store Day Vinyl was released on 19 April 2014. In 2016 they released their second album Fall Forever. History Fear of Men was formed in early 2011 by Jessica Weiss and Daniel Falvey. For her art degree, Weiss had been creating soundtracks for her short films and she met Falvey at one of the exhibitions for her films. Falvey, a guitarist and a fellow art student, liked her recordings and they started working together. Weiss became the lead vocalist and lyricist, while Lin and Anthony joined on bass and drums respectively. In March 2011, they released a four-track cassette entitled the "Hannah Schygulla Demos" on the Sex is Disgusting label and began to perform live locally. In August the band released the single "Ritual Confession" on the Italian Beach Babes label. It was followed in December of that year by the "Alice Munro Demos" . Over the course of 2012 Lin was replaced by Robyn Edwards on bass, while they were joined by Michael Miles (ex Laish) drums. This created the core of Weiss, Falvey and Miles as a trio that recorded together while bass was added to the live-setting. In June 2012 they release the single "Green Sea" on the Sexbeat label. It was followed by the 7" "Mosaic" October on Too Pure. In February 2013, Kanine Records released a compilation of previous recordings as Early Fragments. It included the previous three singles and one previously unreleased track "Sheer". The album was described as "moving backwards from their most recent dreamy haze to their first art school experiments" by Consequence of Sound. The band also performed at SXSW, Festival Nrmal and the Indietracks festivals, while Edwards was replaced by Alex Flynn-O'Neill. They worked on their debut LP Loom, which was released in May 2014. In a review on Pitchfork described it as "wistful dream pop" while it received an aggregated score of 83 on Metacritic. They toured North America and Europe supporting The Pains of Being Pure At Heart. After the release of Loom, Weiss began composing new songs while experimenting with electronic sounds. The new material was played live during a short tour supporting Lower Dens in October 2015. This experience changed some of the material as the band "wanted to write an album that would make the stage shake, and we had to work out how we could sound stronger and get our ideas across in a more concise way". By the end of December 2015 the recording had been completed. Style In relation to recording the second album, Falvey commented that "We got a lot more interested in manipulating sounds and building songs with computers, but we had to learn how to combine that with our live performance".

Route redistribution
|
In a router, route redistribution allows a network that uses one routing protocol to route traffic dynamically based on information learned from another routing protocol. Routing On the Internet, routers forward data packets between computer networks.Leeds City College, CCNA – Routing Protocols and Concepts, 16, 2010). Diane Teare, Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE): Foundation Learning Guide 22 (Cisco Press, Mar. on-demand routing,Teare, Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) at 28–29 dynamic routing protocols,Id. or Policy-based routing.Id. In a small network such as a home or home office, a default route is often used to send all traffic to the user's Internet service provider. Likewise, medium-sized networks such as branch offices or small Internet service providers may use default routes for traffic intended for the public Internet. But in medium-sized and large networks, routers use dynamic routing protocols to determine the best paths to various network destinations. Sometimes, a network may use more than one dynamic routing protocol, for example, if two different companies merge or if networking devices from multiple vendors are used.Cisco Systems, Inc., Redistributing Routing Protocols, (last updated Mar. In such networks, it is often useful to redistribute information from one routing protocol into another.Teare, Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) at 330. Where used Route redistribution may be used to allow different networks belonging to the same company to communicate with each other. It may also be used when two companies merge and their networks use different routing protocols. And it may be used in conjunction with VRFs or MP-BGP. Route redistribution pitfalls If not implemented carefully, route redistribution may cause routing loops. Each routing protocol contains loop-avoidance mechanisms, but the information needed for loops to be avoided is lost when routes are redistributed. For example, a distance-vector routing protocol may prevent loops by the "split-horizon" rule; that is to say, if a router learns a route from a particular interface it will not re-advertise the route out the same interface. In other words if A learns from B that the path to C is through B then it will not tell B to route packets destined for C through A. Likewise, a link-state routing protocol may keep a database containing the state of different links in the network, representing a "map" (so to speak) of the network. But the portion of the network whose routes are learned by redistribution are not "mapped" in the same way. The "where did I learn this route?" information is lost in the redistribution process. The chance of loops is increased if there are more than one router that performs redistribution in the same network, and if redistribution occurs in both directions (for example, both from EIGRP into OSPF and from OSPF into EIGRP).

They say he has to pass the initiation of getting a pair of panties from one of the Sweet Gyrls by midnight. Jason then decides that he is going to attempt to get a pair of panties from his longtime crush Anastacia during the school's lock-in. Meanwhile, Day Day, one of the Ranger$ and Jason's older cousin, owes Anastacia's eldest brother Junior $2,000 by midnight due to Day Day's father Darren telling Junior that Day Day would have his money after losing to him in a game of dominoes. In his English class, Jason gives Anastacia a poem he wrote about her after she forgets to do the homework assignment only for the teacher to make her read it in front of the class, which everyone including Anastacia finds to be very great. After school is over, Anastacia gives Jason her number, so they can write a song together sometime. Another subplot of the film follows two police officers Officer P'eniss and Lagney, who are chasing down the New Boyz who are on their way to the lock-in but get caught with weed brownies and "grape juice", which Officer Lagney consumes. At the school dance lock-in, Jason, Anastacia, the Ranger$, and Sweet Gyrls play "seven minutes in heaven", but when it is Jason and Anastacia's turn, she tells him that she already knows his plan, and they decide to just stay friends. They later compete in a talent show to win $2,000 but when it comes to the Ranger$' performance, Jason finally beats his fear and raps to help them win the money. However, the Sweet Gyrls end up winning the prize money. At midnight, Jason and the Ranger$ meet the Eses in the parking lot and are about to be killed until the wannabe gangsters start a drive-by shooting. Jason saves Anastacia, but is shot in the process. Jason is sent to the hospital and Anastacia goes with him, becomes his girlfriend, and gives the $2,000 prize money to Flaco. The film ends with Jason's mother, Mamma Tawanna, coming into the parking lot with a gun, trying to out who shot Jason and breaks the fourth wall by showing Nick, the producers, and the crew then her shouting out at the audience.

The Founding Ceremony of the Nation
|
The Founding Ceremony of the Nation (or The Founding of the Nation) is a 1953 oil painting by Chinese artist Dong Xiwen. It depicts Mao Zedong and other Communist Party officials proclaiming the People's Republic of China at Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949. A prominent example of socialist realism, it is one of the most celebrated works of official Chinese art. The painting was repeatedly revised, and a replica painting made to accommodate further changes, as some of the leaders it depicted fell from power and later were rehabilitated. After the Chinese Communist Revolution, the Party sought to memorialize their achievements through artworks. Dong was commissioned to create a visual representation of the October 1 ceremony, which he had attended. He viewed it as essential that the painting show both the people and their leaders. After working for three months, he completed an oil painting in a folk art style, drawing upon Chinese art history for the contemporary subject. The success of the painting was assured when Mao viewed it and liked it, and it was reproduced in large numbers for display in the home. The 1954 purge of Gao Gang from the government resulted in Dong being ordered to remove him from the painting. Gao's departure was not the last; Dong was forced to remove then-Chinese president Liu Shaoqi in 1967. The winds of political fortune continued to shift during the Cultural Revolution, and a reproduction was painted by other artists in 1972, to accommodate another deletion. The replica was modified in 1979 to include the purged individuals, who had been rehabilitated. Both canvases are in the National Museum of China in Beijing. Background Following the establishment of the People's Republic in 1949, Communists quickly took control of art in China. The socialist realism that was characteristic of Soviet art came to be highly influential in the People's Republic. The new government proposed a series of paintings, preferably in oil, to memorialize the history of the Party, and its triumph in 1949. To this end, in December 1950, arts official Wang Yeqiu proposed to Deputy Minister of Culture Zhou Yang that there be an art exhibition the following year to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Party in China. Wang had toured the Soviet Union and observed its art, with which he was greatly impressed, and he proposed that sculptures and paintings be exhibited depicting the Party's history, for eventual inclusion in the planned Museum of the Chinese Revolution. Even before gaining full control of the country, the Party had used art as propaganda, a technique especially effective as much of the Chinese population was then illiterate. Wang's proposal was preliminarily approved in March 1951, and a committee, including the art critic and official Jiang Feng, was appointed to seek suitable artists. Although, nearly 100 paintings were produced for the 1951 exhibition, not enough were found to be suitable, and it was cancelled.

Skank (magazine)
|
Skank was a British satirical magazine published between 1994 and 1997 by Acreforce Ltd, an offshoot of X Press. It was aimed primarily at younger British Blacks. History Skank was launched in April 1994. It was co-written and edited by Bobby Joseph, and drawn by Daniel Francis, Joseph Samuels and Michael Robinson. It was published by Acreforce Ltd, a publishing label set up by publisher and BBC journalist Dotun Adebayo as an offshoot of X Press. Skank ended its run in March 1997, as a result of being sued by the runner Linford Christie over the cartoon "Lunch-box Christie". Joseph went on to found a new magazine, Black Eye, which he regarded as the successor to Skank. Content Skank was one of numerous comics similar to Viz. It has been dubbed the "Ragga Viz" or the "Black" Viz. Paul Gravett has described it as "the first adult comic by and about British blacks". Skank examined the Black British experience in the 1990s. It pushed the boundaries of taste but also explored political satire, social commentary, sexism, homophobia, racism, and police brutality. Like Viz, Skank featured comic strips, strips, joke articles, and celebrity references. It featured popular comic characters satirising Black communities of London, such as "Mary Mampy" – a "bad gyal" from Peckham; "The Fugitive", a baby father on the run from his numerous baby mothers; "Scotland Yardie" – a Jamaican no-nonsense cop; "Rachel Prejudice" – a subtle dig at Black sell-outs; "White Galfriend", a look at mixed-race relationships; "Malcolm Vex", a frustrated revolutionary; and "Wendy Weave-on", a spoilt supermodel with baldness issues. Spoof news stories frequently appeared in Skank, such as "Government ban on Ugly Women", "Pubic Weave Extensions", "Free Ganja competitions", and "Yam Throwing - new Olympic Sport announced". The magazine satirised the Brixton riots of 1981, and mocked Black celebrities such as Christie and the boxer Chris Eubank. References External links "In the beginning", Skank1.com

2014 FIA WTCC Race of Russia
|
The 2014 FIA WTCC Race of Russia (formally the 2014 FIA WTCC Lukoil Race of Russia) was the sixth round of the 2014 World Touring Car Championship season and the second running of the FIA WTCC Race of Russia. It was held on June 8, 2014 at the Moscow Raceway in Volokolamsk, Russia. Both races were won by Citroën Total WTCC. José María López won race one and Ma Qing Hua won race two. Ma's victory in race two was the first for a Chinese driver in a FIA World Championship race. Background López continued to lead the drivers' championship after the first five rounds, forty–one points ahead of his teammates and defending champion Yvan Muller. Franz Engstler held the lead of the Yokohama Trophy. Citroën Total WTCC expanded to four cars for the Russian round with Chinese driver Ma Qing Hua joining the team. Campos Racing added a second TC2T SEAT for WTCC débutant Nikita Misiulia. The compensation weights were changed after the previous round. The Citroën C-Elysée WTCC retained the maximum ballast to keep their weight at . The Honda Civic WTCCs and Chevrolet RML Cruze TC1s both gained of ballast to increase their weight to . The Lada Granta 1.6Ts remained at the base weight of . Report Free practice Muller was fastest in the first practice session, Gabriele Tarquini was second for the Castrol Honda World Touring Car Team and Tom Coronel was third in the ROAL Motorsport Chevrolet. Muller stayed on top in the second practice session, Tarquini was second once again while Hugo Valente was third quickest in the Campos Racing Chevrolet. Qualifying Tarquini set the pace in the first part of qualifying with his teammate Tiago Monteiro second. Coronel just missed out on a place in Q2, ending the session five–hundredths of a second down on Dušan Borković. Robert Huff was the best placed of the Lada drivers in 14th while Gianni Morbidelli was 17th after running wide at turn six and damaging his front splitter. TC2 cars filled the last four positions with Franz Engstler claiming pole position and Misiulia taking the final grid slot. López led the second part of qualifying ahead of Tarquini, Sébastien Loeb, Tom Chilton and Monteiro. Muller failed to get through to the third session after experiencing oversteer in his Citroën C-Elysée WTCC. Valente ended the session tenth to claim pole position for race two with Ma Qing Hua sharing the front row. Honda privateers Norbert Michelisz and Mehdi Bennani would start race two from the second row. López went on to claim pole position in the Q3 shootout, Tarquini and Monteiro finished second and third ahead of Loeb and Chilton. Race One Tarquini charged up the inside of López at the start but the Citroën driver hung on around the outside to retain the lead. On the first lap Muller began his recovery from a bad qualifying by taking Chilton for fifth place while his teammate Loeb moved up to third at the expense of Monteiro. At the end of the second lap Borković tried a pass up the inside of Valente at the final corner and collided with the rear of his teammate, putting both drivers out of the race on the spot. The race was run under yellow flags in the final sector for the next two laps while the stricken Chevrolets were removed from the outside of the final corner. Once the yellow flags cleared Chilton retook fifth place off Muller on the pit straight after Muller ran wide at the last corner. Another driver making up after a poor qualifying was Coronel and by lap six he was hassling Michelisz for eighth place before passing him at the last corner on lap eight. In the TC2 class Misiulia passed John Filippi to move up to third in class, he held this position briefly before going off at the final corner on lap nine and putting his SEAT into the tyre barriers. In the final laps of the race there were two battles developing in the top five; Loeb was pursuing Tarquini for second while Muller was chasing Chilton's fourth place. It was on the final lap that Muller completed the pass at the first corner on Chilton by first trying to go around the outside of the Chevrolet and then switching to the inside. López had built up a lead of 3.1 seconds at the finish line and took victory with Tarquini holding off Loeb for second place. Race Two Campos Racing hurried to repair the car of pole sitter Valente during the fifteen minutes of repair time and got the car out three seconds before the pit lane closed. His teammate Borković did not get out in time and started the race from the pitlane. Valente started on pole and Michelisz jumped up ahead of Ma, López failed to get away and was sat on the grid as the rest of the field disappeared around the first corner. There was contact as Muller got turned around the front of Bennani as Loeb and Chilton ran wide to avoid the incident. There was contact between Mikhail Kozlovskiy and James Thompson further back while at the start of the second lap Michelisz was defending from Ma who was looking to take back second place. Race leader Valente was issued with a drive–through penalty for not having his wheel fitted at the five-minute warning before the start of the race; the battle between Michelisz and Ma would now become the battle for the lead. On lap three Loeb lost two places to Coronel and Morbidelli, up ahead Ma and Michelisz continued to battle for the lead with Ma trying a pass on Michelisz on the last corner on lap three and four. Chilton ran wide on lap five and then was tapped from behind by Morbidelli, the two incidents dropped him from fourth to outside the points in eleventh. Lap six saw Muller moving up the order and taking the Hondas of Bennani and Monteiro in one move in the opening part of the lap. Valente went into the pit lane to serve his penalty on lap seven as Ma took the lead of the race from Michelisz. Tarquini went off the circuit and after a brief delay resumed near the back of the field before returning his car to the pits to retire. At the end of lap eight Muller moved up to second with a pass on Michelisz who now had his rear bumper hanging off. On lap 12 the second factory Honda of Monteiro slowed down with technical problems which moved René Münnich up into the final points place. Ma and Muller had built up a gap of six seconds to Michelisz in third who was holding off Bennani, Coronel, Loeb and Chilton. Michelisz lost the back of his car on lap 15 and dropped behind Bennani and Coronel and into the clutches of Loeb at the start of the last lap who was himself under attack from Chilton. Despite slowing down at the finish line Ma secured his first WTCC victory ahead of Muller. Bennani took the final podium place with Coronel fourth and Loeb took fifth from Michelisz with a tap on a rear of the Zengő Motorsport Honda at the last corner. Following a collision with Chilton during the race, Monteiro was given a five–place grid penalty for the first race in Belgium.

Bile (Irish legend)
|
Bilé is a character in the Lebor Gabála Érenn, a medieval Christian history of Ireland and the Irish (or Gaels), and in the genealogies of John O'Hart based on this tradition. He is described as a king of Galicia, an ancestor of the Gaels, the son of Breogan, and the father of Milesius.Carey, John. The Irish National Origin-Legend: Synthetic Pseudohistory . Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge, 1994. p. 13 The Lebor Gabála purports to be an account of the Gaels' descent from Adam through the sons of Noah and how they came to Ireland. The tale relates that the Gaels spent 440 years wandering the Earth and underwent a series of tribulations. Eventually, the Gaels sailed to Iberia and conquered it. There, one of their leaders, Breogán, founded a city called Brigantia and built a great tower. From the top of the tower, his son Íth glimpses Ireland. The Gaels—including some of Breogán's sons—sailed to Ireland from Brigantia and took it from the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Irish pagan gods. Brigantia likely refers to A Coruña in Galicia (which was then known as Brigantium)Encyclopædia Britannica, "A Coruña". and Breogán's tower is likely based on the Tower of Hercules (which was built at A Coruña by the Romans) or the Tower of Babel. The idea that the Irish Gaels came from Iberia may be based on the similarity of the names Iberia and Hibernia and the names Galicia and Gael.Monaghan, Patricia. The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore. Infobase Publishing, 2004. p. 332 Bilé is listed as the father of Fuat, a son who traveled to Inis Magdana, Moagdéda, or Mor-Oc Diada ("Great Young Divine"), an island where no man could tell a lie; Fuat brought a piece of sod from Inis Mor-Oc Diada back to Ireland, which he placed under his seat of judgement, and which turned upside down whenever he spoke a lie. In pre-Christian tradition, Bilé was a god, speculated to be a god of the dead, as well as the word for a sacred tree used in coronation ceremonies. This version of Bilé is often considered the consort of Danu and the father of the gods and of humanity.The Mythology Of The British Islands: And Introduction to the Celtic Myth, Legend, Poetry, and Romance.

Dropcam
|
Dropcam, Inc. was an American technology company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company is known for its Wi-Fi video streaming cameras, Dropcam and Dropcam Pro, that allow people to view live feeds through Dropcam's cloud-based service. On June 20, 2014, it was announced that Google's Nest Labs bought Dropcam for $555 million, a decision Dropcam co-founder Greg Duffy later described as a "mistake". In June 2015, Nest introduced the Nest Cam, a successor to the Dropcam Pro. Support for Dropcam services ended on April 8, 2024. History Software engineers Greg Duffy and Aamir Virani founded Dropcam in 2009. Duffy served as Dropcam's CEO and Virani served as COO. They originally developed software for cameras made by Swedish company AXIS. Wanting to develop a less expensive camera, the two companies parted ways and Dropcam started producing its own cameras that primarily provided video monitoring for homes and small businesses. Duffy and Virani credit Duffy's dad with at least part of the inspiration for Dropcam. He wanted to identify the neighbor who was letting their dog poop on his lawn but they were having trouble finding a security camera that made it easy to record, stream and monitor large amounts of data. Dropcam received early funding from technology investor Mitch Kapor, and in June 2012, Dropcam secured $12 million in venture capital funding led by Menlo Ventures and previous investors, Accel Partners and Bay Partners. Dropcam has also received funding from Felicis Ventures and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The following year, it received $30 million more in funding led by Institutional Venture Partners, bringing the total raised to $47.8 million. Duffy said Dropcam's revenue grew 500 percent year over year. Dropcam hosts cloud data through Amazon Web Services and Duffy said in 2014 that Dropcam presently records more video than YouTube. Dropcam has become popular in families watching their children, through monitoring pets at home, at pet stores and in adoption centers. Users have also reportedly caught home-burglaries in progress. Duffy has said, “Moms are using it to catch their babies' first steps when they're not around, checking that older kids have arrived home safely; contacting children who are ignoring their cell phones; and sharing footage from birthday parties.” Due to the success of Dropcam, several companies launched similar products and services in 2014 and 2015, such as SpotCam and simplicam. In June 2015, the parent company Nest has introduced Nest Cam as a successor to Dropcam Pro. On April 7, 2023, Google announced that it would end support for both Dropcam and Nest Secure on April 8, 2024. Cloud Recording Dropcam provides optional encrypted digital video recording through the cloud. The Cloud Recording service automatically saves video on a rolling basis, so users can review the past week or month of footage, depending on their plan. All users, with or without the service, can still view the live feed. Dropcam allows users to download the video and create video clips while also allowing for the creation of a public stream. About 40% of Dropcam users sign up for the cloud service. As part of Dropcam's Cloud Recording service, markers are placed on a user's video timeline when motion or audio is detected, so a user may go back and view those specific events rather than watch the whole feed to search for notable activities. Dropcam introduced a beta version of its Activity Recognition feature for Cloud Recording, which learns typical motion patterns in a user's video stream, allowing for customized motion alerts.

After not playing professionally during 1911–1914, he resumed playing with Vancouver in 1915 and 1916, and in Fort Dodge, Iowa, in 1917. Records also show him playing 34 games in the Southwestern League in 1926, when he was also manager of the team based in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Brown appeared in at least 666 minor league games as a player. Manager Brown was a manager for all or part of 14 seasons, as early as 1902 and as late as 1926. For many of those season, he was also a player. He first managed the Pendleton team in 1902, and then managed every season from 1904 through 1911, including four seasons in Aberdeen. After managing in Vancouver in 1910 and 1911, he did not manage for four seasons, then returned to manage in Vancouver during 1916, 1917, 1920, and 1922. His final season as a manager was 1926 with Ponca City, also his final season as a player. Owner Between the 1909 and 1910 seasons, Brown took over sixty percent ownership of the Vancouver Beavers for $500, moving to Canada to take on the role of the team's player-manager. While Brown owned the Beavers, manager Kitty Brashier guided the team to Northwestern League championships in 1911; the Beavers were also champions in 1913 and 1914, while the team was second in the league in 1912. Brown also owned the Vancouver Beavers (later the Vancouver Capilanos). As a promoter, he organized the first night baseball game played in Canada, in 1930. Brown had built 5,000-seat Athletic Park on land leased from the Canadian Pacific Railway. The park opened 18 April 1913. The Beavers moved from Recreation Park that same year. He also initiated the building of Capilano Stadium, a 5,157-seat baseball stadium which opened 1951 in Vancouver. Brown retired as owner of the Capilanos in 1953, the year he became President of the Western International League, a post he held only one year. He was named honorary league president in 1954, and honorary president of the Vancouver Mounties in 1956. Honours In 1952, Sporting News named Brown one of the ten best general managers in baseball. In 1966, Brown was inducted as an inaugural member into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in the baseball category, and in 1989 he was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame as a builder.Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum » Bob Brown The Vancouver Canadians mascot is named “Bob Brown Bear” in honour of him. Personal life Born on July 5, 1876, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Brown attended the University of Notre Dame during the 1890s, where he played football with the Fighting Irish and won varsity letters in football and baseball. In 1898, he enlisted in the United States Army to fight in the Spanish–American War. He graduated from Notre Dame in 1900. Brown died on June 23, 1962, in St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver.

Boss Fight Books
|
Boss Fight Books is a Los Angeles-based book publisher and its eponymous series of books about video games. Similar to the style of 33⅓, a series of books about individual record albums, each book focuses solely on one video game. The company was founded by Gabe Durham in June 2013, and following a successful Kickstarter campaign in July, they released their first book, EarthBound by Ken Baumann in January 2014. The idea for the series came when Durham was reading Jeff Ryan's Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America, as Durham wished that the book would slow down and provide more depth to the games it covered. After finding there was no equivalent of 33⅓ for video games, Durham pitched the idea of the series to his friend, Ken Baumann, who agreed to write the first book and serve as the series' designer. After securing agreements with authors for the first five books, Durham turned to Kickstarter, seeking $5,000 in funding, a target that was met within eight hours. At the close of the campaign in July 2013, Boss Fight Books had raised $45,429, allowing the project to proceed. As part of the crowdfunding campaign, backers got to vote on the subject of a sixth book, and Chrono Trigger, which had been considered but not included in the first five, was chosen. Boss Fight Books returned to Kickstarter to fund a second season consisting of a further six books; it too was successful, raising $53,186 in November 2014. Like the first campaign, backers got to vote on the subject of one of the books; they chose Shadow of the Colossus. List of books Season 1 No. Title Author Release date ISBN 1 EarthBound Ken Baumann January 15, 2014 Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger were considered as candidate subjects initially, but Baumann believed that the scope of those games was narrower than that of EarthBound, a game he describes as "a weird, satirical, emotional, spiritual game", and "unlike any story I've experienced since". Baumann recalls playing EarthBound with his older brother as "one of the most formative experiences of my childhood", and he credits researching the book with a rekindling of his relationship with his brother. The book meshes Baumann's analysis of the game with autobiography, chronicling his playing of the game as a child, his upbringing, and his acting career. The book's structure has been likened to Grant Morrison's Supergods and Matthew Berry's Fantasy Life. Cameron Kunzelman, writing for Paste, gave the book a mixed review. He found Baumann's portrayal of the game and its characters evocative, managing to "render the strangeness of [the] game into graspable language", but criticised the self-indulgence of certain autobiographical sections. On the other hand, in a review at The Collagist, Ian Denning found the autobiographical sections an "emotional high point", passages on Baumann's relationship with his brother were described as "interesting, sometimes tender and funny". It was Baumann's analysis of the game that drew complaint from Denning, who criticised his scattershot approach, and questioned the value of its tangential references. Still, Denning deemed the book an accomplishment, "a book that argues that video games—a medium once considered cultural garbage—can be important catalysts in an artist's aesthetic development". Reflecting on the polarised reception of the autobiographical sections, Baumann said "I kind of love both reactions, and still do. I just like the strength of the reaction. I'm happy that I used personal stuff if it incites that much love or hate." 2 Chrono Trigger Michael P. Williams April 1, 2014 The author, Michael P. Williams, was selected after an open call for pitches for this fan selected book. Williams drew upon his experience living in Japan and his familiarity with its culture to explore Chrono Trigger themes, examining the depiction of race, gender and sexuality in Japanese role-playing games. The book features original interviews with Ted Woolsey and Tom Slattery, translators on the SNES and DS versions of the game respectively. The structure of the book reflects the narrative of the game; the book skipping between themes as the game's plot skips backwards and forwards in time. Kunzelman, in his review for Paste, while noting the personal nature of the book, found it without the self-indulgence of Baumann's EarthBound. He found the initial chapters weak, declaring a chapter on the game's recruitable characters as "almost unbearable", but described later chapters as proposing "tightly-tuned arguments". Kunzelman sees the strength of the book stemming from Williams' insight into how Japanese culture and society may have shaped the game. Zach Welhouse, writing at RPGamer, too found the book more focused than EarthBound. He highlighted a chapter of new information on the game's English language localisation process, something also highlighted by Andy Hoover at Nintendojo, who deemed it as "a must read" for Chrono Trigger fans; the interview with Woolsey offering particular insight for those critical of the SNES localisation. Philip J. Reed, in his review at Nintendo Life commended the book's personal approach for having "come as close to capturing games as experiences as might actually be possible." Reed suggests that the book offers a new way to revisit the game, "[allowing] you to travel back in time and see it again, for the first time, through a fresh set of eyes." He concludes that the Boss Fight Books series could provide "an alternative future where video games no longer rot young minds and incite violence, but spur philosophical discussions and self-improvement." 3 ZZT Anna Anthropy June 2, 2014 ZZT is both a video game and a game creation system; Anthropy examines both aspects in her book. Anthropy delves into the now-defunct communities around the game, interviewing designers of ZZT user-created games, and highlighting a culture that has otherwise gone unrecorded. Kunzelman gave the book high praise in his review for Paste. He found none of the literary digressions for which he criticised earlier books in the series, though he had trouble understanding some of its more technical passages. Kunzelman found the book giving "an impassioned argument for why ZZT was, and continues to be, incredibly valuable for game players", and concluded that "Anthropy has set the gold standard for book-length studies of games with ZZT". 4 Galaga Michael Kimball July 1, 2014 Galaga consists of 255 mini chapters, mirroring the 255 stages found in the game. Kimball looks at the game, its place in contemporary culture, and how he related to it growing up in an abusive environment. In his review for the Baltimore City Paper, Brandon Soderberg lauded the treatment Kimball gave the game, rejecting the "BuzzFeeding of the immediate past", and instead providing depth and poignancy. The book caused Soderberg to reflect on his own life, and how video games act as windows into trauma, as he recounts the experience of playing Contra following a friend's suicide. Kunzelman, writing at Paste, found Galaga by far the weakest of the first four Boss Fight books. Kunzelman found the "short, staccato chapters" an exercise in frustration and quickly tired of their cyclic nature. He criticised the book's indulgence, believing some sections to be overwrought, and others to be overloaded with trivia. In between these flawed passages, Kunzelman found Kimball displaying expert craft in telling a moving personal story about "coping with the world through videogames" that "many, many people can relate to". For Kunzelman, that Kimball could be capable of such quality only made the other sections even more disappointing. 5 Jagged Alliance 2 Darius Kazemi August 25, 2014 Kazemi looks at the development history of Jagged Alliance 2 through interviews with the development team. At the 2014 Critical Proximity conference, Kazemi spoke about the insight he gleaned from looking at the game's source code as part of his research. Kazemi cites Aramis, or the Love of Technology as one of his inspirations behind the book in an article for The Atlantic exploring his motivations. He chose Jagged Alliance 2 not only because it is his favourite game, but because he believed that the game's obscurity would allow for more candour from its developers. He also believed that the shift from 2D to 3D graphics in the wider video games industry taking place during the game's development would surface as tensions in the story told. Austin Walker, writing for Paste, felt that the book worked well as a history book, placing Jagged Alliance 2 in the context of the video game industry as it transitioned through small independent developers towards larger teams tied to publishers. He praised the way Kazemi aligned all of the factors that formed the game and made it successful, without trying to force a dramatic narrative out of the people involved, but criticized that Kazemi "struggles with selling it to us as a fun game to play". 6 Super Mario Bros. 2 Jon Irwin October 6, 2014 Irwin, a staff writer for Kill Screen, examines the game in four sections based on the game's four player characters. As part of his research, Irwin spoke to Gail Tilden, the founding editor of Nintendo Power, and Andrew Gardikis, the world record holder for the game's tool-assisted speedrun. In his review at Nintendo Life, Tim Latshaw commends Irwin's ability to weave seemingly "ridiculous tangents" like One Thousand and One Nights into an exploration of the game and Nintendo's philosophy. He describes the book as "required reading for game historians", and for those curious about the game, "Irwin's relatable writing and healthy seasoning of humour make it an engrossing and enjoyable read." In Kunzelman's review at Paste, he too noted how Irwin managed to craft a book in which its tangents "impossibly, flow together", he compared this quality favourably to Galaga and Chrono Trigger, earlier books in the series. Kunzelman saw weakness in Irwin's moments of literary excess, such as an interlude on the death of the author's grandmother, which he found strange and clichéd. Still, he concluded that the book was "an excellent example of the Boss Fight Books model of game criticism", and was "very excited to see what happens during season 2". Season 2 No. Title Author Release date ISBN 7 Bible Adventures Gabe Durham March 30, 2015 Durham, the Boss Fight Books founder and series editor chose to write about Bible Adventures. Durham had played this unlicensed video game as a child, and with his father being a minister, he felt he understood Christian culture well enough to explain how games like this came to exist. Durham spoke with Roger Deforest and Dan Burke, two of the game's developers in the process of writing the book. 8 Baldur's Gate II Matt Bell June 22, 2015 Baldur's Gate II is part memoir and part reading of the game. Bell tells the story of his development as a writer; of his writing of the Dungeons & Dragons novel, The Last Garrison, and his study under Gordon Lish. Bell recalls his love of fantasy, role-playing, and video games, but feels shame in it, finding it difficult to reconcile with his adult aspirations towards literary fiction, even while acknowledging that genre influences have enlivened his own work. In the Baldur's Gate series of games, the story asks players to reconcile their character's good nature with their murderous heritage. Molly McArdle, writing for Brooklyn Magazine considered this "a perfect backdrop" for Bell's own conflict between his past and present selves. Kunzelman gave the book an ambivalent review in Paste, he did not see in the book a coherent reflection of the game, and that "anyone who has played the game can intuit every point Bell makes about the game". Yet he still found the book a pleasure to read, a credit to Bell's skill as a writer. At The Rumpus, reviewer Samuel Sattin describes the core theme of the book as "perceptions of success in the literary community", and asks "can genre conventions truly mesh with a literary author’s ambition to be taken seriously?" Sattin sees the book as "an uneasy, courageous, and ultimately vulnerable attempt to bridge a divide most of us are unwilling to admit exists", which succeeds through revealing this conflict. 9 Metal Gear Solid Ashly & Anthony Burch August 17, 2015 This collaboration between the Burch siblings was pitched as a celebration and takedown of a game that they loved. Told in a back and forth conversational manner between two authors who do not necessarily agree, the book covers topics such as the game's mechanics, storytelling and its treatment of female characters. Joel Couture describes the book as "an honest, heartfelt look at the game and franchise" in his review at indiegames.com. The book promoted Couture to think about the game in new ways, and to see Snake, the player character, in a light he had barely considered when playing the game as a teenager. Couture found the conversational tone between the authors comforting and approachable, their differing viewpoints well suited to a game that "[bounces] between outlandish and serious". At Paste, Kunzelman was in agreement, finding that the alternating voices of the authors provided "a nice point and counterpoint that allows the text to disagree with itself". And though the book's humour did not always work with Kunzelman, he ultimately saw the book as a work that "opens up a canonical videogame further than it ever has been before". 10 Shadow of the Colossus Nick Suttner December 15, 2015 Nick Suttner is a former writer at 1UP.com, and currently works in developer relations at Sony. His pitch for the Kickstarter backer selected title was accepted after an open call for submissions. Suttner describes his work as "more of a love letter and travelogue and less of a critique" of his favourite game of all time. 11 Spelunky Derek Yu March 29, 2016 Spelunky is the first book in the series to be written by the game's creator. Durham credits Spelunky as the title that connected with most people during the second season's Kickstarter campaign. Yu found writing the book a challenge, having never before written anything such length. Due to the autobiographical nature of the work, Nate Ewert-Krocker, in his review at ZAM describes it as having a different flavour than other books in the series. While giving the "clearest understanding of a game’s construction and design" than any other book in the series, the lack of distance between author and subject made the telling of the story straightforward. Writing at Paste, Kunzelman, who has spent over a hundred hours playing Spelunky, found the book accessible for casual and diehard fans alike, full of information that could not be found anywhere else.12 World of Warcraft Daniel Lisi June 20, 2016 Daniel Lisi, founder and CEO of video game developer Game Over, discusses how immersive and consuming the game is, in the context of his experiences playing the game obsessively in high school and modern online culture.

Therese Behr-Schnabel
|
Therese Behr-Schnabel (née Behr; 14 September 1876 – 30 January 1959) was a German contralto. She was best known for her interpretations of lieder. Life Therese Behr was born to interior designer Carl Behr and his wife Lina Behr (née Zenegg) in Stuttgart on 14 September 1876. In 1881, the family moved to Mainz. Therese Behr's brother, the conductor and violinist , arranged for her to have music lessons in nearby Frankfurt with Julius Stockhausen; she studied with Stockhausen from 1893 until 1895, and then continued in Cologne with Franz Wüllner. She moved to Berlin in 1898 to study with Etelka Gerster. In 1900, the then-unknown pianist Artur Schnabel was hired to accompany Behr, who already had a successful international career, on a concert tour in East Prussia. The two married in 1905. They frequently performed together, and it was Behr's fame as a singer of Lieder—and her insistence that her husband accompany her—that drew the public's attention to Schnabel's ability as a pianist. The Schnabels' twelve-room apartment on Wielandstrasse in Berlin-Charlottenburg soon became a meeting point for Berlin music circles. Behr also taught voice lessons in their home. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, Behr and Schnabel left Berlin, as Schnabel very clearly foresaw the political troubles that were to come. For the next few years, they spent summers in Tremezzo, Lake Como, and winters in London. Summers in Tremezzo, for these years, were also an opportunity for Behr, Schnabel, and their son Karl Ulrich Schnabel (1909-2001) to teach summer courses. The family relocated to New York in 1939, where Behr continued teaching. Behr returned to Europe for the first time in 1946, after the war. Thereafter, she spent summers in Switzerland and Italy. After Schnabel's death in 1951, she moved back to Tremezzo permanently, and remained there until her death in Lugano on 30 January 1959. Therese Behr's papers are held at the Music Archive of the Academy of Arts, Berlin. Family She married pianist Artur Schnabel in 1905. Behr and Artur Schnabel had two sons, the pianist Karl Ulrich Schnabel (1909–2001) and the actor Stefan Schnabel (1912–1999). Karl Ulrich Schnabel's daughter Ann Schnabel Mottier currently manages the Schnabel Music Foundation together with her husband François Mottier.

Anna N. Żytkow

Anna Nikola Żytkow (; born 21 February 1947) is a Polish astrophysicist working at the Institute of Astronomy of the University of Cambridge. Żytkow and Kip Thorne proposed a model for what is called the Thorne–Żytkow object, which is a star within another star. Żytkow in 2014 was part of the team led by Emily M. Levesque which discovered the first candidate for such an object. Thorne-Żytkow objects Working together with Kip Thorne in 1976, Żytkow developed a theoretical model for a new star type, the Thorne–Żytkow object (TŻO), which contains either a neutron star or a black hole core at the center of a stellar envelope. The evolution of such a star occurs rarely and only two processes exist that define the structure and evolution of a TŻO. In the first process a collision between a neutron star and a normal star, either dwarf or giant, must occur in order to merge the two into a single object. This occurrence is rare since stars do not usually collide with each other. This could only happen in a dense cluster of stars. The second possible evolution of a larger TŻO can occur when a star expands into a red supergiant and engulfs its companion neutron star. A team led by Emily Levesque (University of Colorado at Boulder) and including Anna Żytkow found the first viable TŻO candidate using the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay Telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory in 2014, possibly succeeding in a search for these bizarre stars, one that had already spanned some 40 years worth of effort. Żytkow said upon the discovery: "I am extremely happy that observational confirmation of our theoretical prediction has started to emerge. Since Kip Thorne and I proposed our models of stars with neutron cores, people were not able to disprove our work. If theory is sound, experimental confirmation shows up sooner or later. So it was a matter of identification of a promising group of stars, getting telescope time and proceeding with the project." Personal life Żytkow's career was interrupted by a mountaineering accident that nearly took her life.

Żytkow collaborated on the survey of two slow-moving objects, which are probable members of the Kuiper belt. Żytkow and the group followed Edgeworth (1949) and Kuipers (1951) research, which indicates that protoplanetary disks extend beyond Neptune and that the disk material beyond Neptune had not coalesced into planets. This group of planetesimals is now known as the Kuiper belt. Żytkow and the rest of the group members spent most of their time adjusting the focus of the camera and instruments attached to the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT). The group used the Monte Carlo method, which provided multiple simulations in two separate stages. The outcome of this survey was a detection of two new Kuiper belts objects within the area of 0.7 degree sq. to a limiting magnitude mR=23.5.

Her Sister's Secret
|
Her Sister's Secret is a 1946 American drama film directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Nancy Coleman, Margaret Lindsay, Phillip Reed, and Regis Toomey. It centers around a woman who falls in love with a soldier. Believing she has been abandoned, she gives her baby to her married sister. The picture was produced and distributed by Producers Releasing Corporation. The screenplay was by Anne Green from the novel Dark Angel by Gina Kaus. Plot During World War II, Toni Dubois meets soldier Dick Connolly at Pepe's. They have breakfast there the following day, and Dick proposes to Toni, who decides to wait until six weeks have passed before meeting again to see if they truly love each other. However, during the six weeks pause, Dick's leave gets canceled, and Toni believes she was a one night stand because the letter he wrote to her explaining his leave situation becomes lost. Toni decides to visit her sister Renee, who is married to Bill Gordon. When Bill is shipped overseas, Toni reveals she is pregnant from her one night with Dick. As Renee and Bill are unable to have their own child, Renee asks if she can have the baby and tell Bill it is hers. Toni gives birth to a boy, who Renee names Billy. Renee takes the child and Toni agrees not to see little Billy for another three years. Two years later, Toni stays home with her ill father, Mr. Dubois. Mr. Dubois tells her to not stay home when he dies. When he passes, Toni leaves and heads to Renee's, where she learns from housemaid Etta that Bill and Renee have gone out of town for a while. Toni attempts to take Billy away but Etta stops her. When Bill and Renee return home, Etta tells them of what happened. Meanwhile, Dick is discharged from the army, and he comes to Renee's house looking for Toni. After he leaves, Renee tells Toni that Dick was at her house. Toni insists upon taking Billy back, but Renee refuses, stating that Billy has become her son after two years. Toni tries to take Billy away again, but Billy runs away from Toni in fear, causing Toni to accept that Bill and Renee will raise Billy. Bill reveals that he knew the truth about Billy's birth, and thanks Toni for allowing them to raise him. Cast Production Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, Her Sister's Secret was produced by Henry Brash and written by Anne Green. It is based on the novel "Dark Angel" by Gina Kaus. Working titles for the film were Between Two Sisters and Once and For All. The film was produced by Producers Releasing Corporation. They increased their usual film budget for Her Sister's Secret, referring to it as their "first million-dollar production" in advertising. Release and reception Producers Releasing Corporation released the film in September 1946. The New York Times wrote of the film, "In fashioning Her Sister's Secret as their first million-dollar production, the film makers at PRC may have been imbued with the theory that soap operas not only affect a lot of people but also sell soap and make money. For the romantic drama, which came to the Gotham yesterday, follows the pattern set by many of those lachrymose radio offerings" and said that "The sets of "Her Sister's Secret" are neat and interesting, attributes, which, sadly enough, can hardly be applied to its story." A reviewer for the Northwest Chicago Film Society opined the film was "a superb melodrama" and that "you won’t soon forget Her Sister’s Secret." Richard Brody of The New Yorker remarked that "the actors are hardly charismatic, but Ulmer, capturing their frozen energy in the shifting perspective of daringly long takes, infuses them with his rhapsodically compassionate vision." Brody also wrote that "Edgar G. Ulmer cuts loose with a wild creativity that yoked his theatrical imagination to a keen view of the traumatic times," and that Ulmer "wrings the last drop of true emotion from every soap-operatic twist, while also baring the domestic scars of war’s violence, sacrifice, and, above all, silence." Leonard Maltin gave the film two and a half stars, saying that it was a "fair weeper with competent cast." In 1947, the film was banned in Ireland by Richard Hayes for featuring an unwed mother, a decision which was eventually reversed by the Appeal Board. This reversal was described by Irish film historian Kevin Rockett as "an indication of the slightly more flexible approached being adopted in the post-war years by the Appeal Board." Preservation The film was restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive, with funding provided by The Film Foundation and The Franco-American Cultural Fund. A fine-grain was recently struck from the original nitrate negative, from which a new negative and superb new print were produced. Among other earlier exhibitions, the new print was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in November 2014. References External links

Super Bowl 50
|
Super Bowl 50 was an American football game to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2015 season. The American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Carolina Panthers, 24–10. The game was played on February 7, 2016, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. As this was the 50th Super Bowl game, the league emphasized the "golden anniversary" with various gold-themed initiatives during the 2015 season, as well as suspending the tradition of naming each Super Bowl game with Roman numerals (under which the game would have been known as "Super Bowl L") for this Super Bowl, so the logo could prominently feature the number 50 in more familiar Arabic numerals. The NFL went back to Roman numerals the next year for Super Bowl LI. This was also the last Super Bowl logo to include the stadium in the background. The Panthers finished the regular season with a 15–1 record, racking up the league's top offense, and quarterback Cam Newton was named the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP). They defeated the Arizona Cardinals 49–15 in the NFC Championship Game and advanced to their second Super Bowl appearance since the franchise began playing in 1995. The Broncos finished the regular season with a 12–4 record, bolstered by having the league's top defense. The Broncos defeated the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots 20–18 in the AFC Championship Game, joining the Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, and Pittsburgh Steelers as one of four teams that have made eight appearances in the Super Bowl. This record would later be broken the next season, in 2017, when the Patriots advanced to their ninth Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl LI. This marked the fourth time in history that the Super Bowl pitted the top defense against the top offense, after Super Bowls XXV, XXXVII and XLVIII. In one of the most defensive matchups in Super Bowl history, the Broncos took an early lead that they never lost. Denver recorded seven sacks and forced four turnovers. Carolina kept pace by recording five sacks and forcing two turnovers. Denver linebacker Von Miller was named Super Bowl MVP. This game was the final game of Peyton Manning's career; the Broncos quarterback, who also won Super Bowl XLI, announced his retirement in March 2016. CBS' broadcast of the game was the fifth most-watched program in American television history with an average of 111.9 million viewers. The network charged an average of $5 million for a 30-second commercial during the game. The Super Bowl 50 halftime show was headlined by Coldplay, with special guest performers Beyoncé and Bruno Mars. Background Host selection process In early 2012, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the league planned to make the 50th Super Bowl "spectacular" and that it would be "an important game for us as a league". Cities included in early discussions or that submitted bids included: AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington An unidentified stadium in the Los Angeles, California metropolitan area. The Los Angeles bid (intended to be an homage to the first Super Bowl, which was held at the Memorial Coliseum in the city) was dependent on a team relocating to the area by the time the site was selected and having a new stadium built by the time of the game. No team requested to relocate by the time the site was selected, and Los Angeles was pulled from consideration. Los Angeles was then put into consideration for Super Bowl LIV. The league eventually narrowed the bids to three sites: New Orleans' Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Miami's Sun Life Stadium, and Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium. The league announced on October 16, 2012, that the two finalists were Sun Life Stadium and Levi's Stadium. The South Florida/Miami area has previously hosted the event 10 times (tied for most with New Orleans), with the most recent one being Super Bowl XLIV in 2010. The San Francisco Bay Area last hosted in 1985 (Super Bowl XIX), held at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California, won by the home team 49ers. The Miami bid depended on whether the stadium underwent renovations. However, on May 3, 2013, the Florida legislature refused to approve the funding plan to pay for the renovations, dealing a significant blow to Miami's chances. On May 21, 2013, NFL owners at their spring meetings in Boston voted and awarded the game to Levi's Stadium. The $1.2 billion stadium opened in 2014. It was the first Super Bowl held in the Bay Area since Super Bowl XIX was held at Stanford Stadium in 1985 following the 1984 season, and the first held in California since Super Bowl XXXVII held at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego in 2003. Teams For the third straight season, the number one seeds in the NFC and AFC, the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos, met in the Super Bowl. The game also featured the league's top scoring offense (Panthers) against the league's top defense (Broncos). The Panthers became the 10th team since 1960 to have lost just one game during the regular season, and the sixth team ever to have a 15–1 record. It was their second Super Bowl appearance; the other was Super Bowl XXXVIII. The Broncos became the fourth team to have eight Super Bowl appearances, then the NFL record. It was their second appearance in three years, having also reached Super Bowl XLVIII. Coincidentally, John Fox was the head coach of each team in their previous Super Bowl appearance.
