High Five Challenge is a high school quiz bowl game show originating from Portland, Oregon. Each week, two teams of 5 to 7 players (although only 5 may be actively playing at one time, one of these a "Wild Card," more on that later) face questions posed by host Wayne Faligowski. Once the regular season is completed, the top eight highest-scoring teams advance to the playoffs. Gameplay[edit]Each team is spotted 2,000 points to start the game. Host Faligowski checks the five categories for the first half, and one is chosen at random. Faligowski then asks five questions in that category. Each question is worth a pre-stated number of points; within a category, two questions are worth 10 points each, two are worth 20 each, and one is worth 40. All questions are "toss-ups" (that is, players must buzz in to answer); a correct answer earns the points for that question, while wrong answers cost the same amount. One of the players on each team is designated the "wild card." The wild card player may buzz in just like any other player, except that a wild card's signal takes precedence over any other signal except the other wild card (as such, this is termed a "steal"). Each wild card can only steal three times during the course of the half, and a failed steal attempt causes a loss of twice the point value of the question. The categories are played in a random order, and after all five categories are played, the half is over. Substitutions may be made at halftime, and the wild card is always changed. The second half is played the same as the first half, except that there is an added "mystery category," represented by a line of question marks. The mystery category is always the last category played, and the point values for the mystery category are doubled (to two 20-point questions, two 40-pointers, and one 80-pointer). After the mystery category is played out, the team with the highest score wins the game. Generally speaking, all players receive calculators and movie rentals. Teams who advance to the playoffs are treated to a riverboat cruise, and the final winners receive $3,000 for their school. A web stream of the most recent game may be viewed at [www.high-five.com].

"The Banner of Equal Rights" was the banner of the city democrats of Philadelphia in 1828. William Heighton was a common shoemaker who became the leader of the Philadelphia Working Man's Party. The Panic of 1819 accelerated the process of subdividing manufacturing and increasing industrialization. Unskilled workers filled the factories, pushing skilled workers away and bringing longer hours and smaller wages to all. William Heighton organized the skilled journeyman into the Mechanics Union of Trade Associations (MUTA). This was the first citywide organization of journeyman in America. MUTA succesfully used strikes to improve wages and hours for journeyman. This orginzation greatly improved worker influence and rights for skilled workers. However, Heighton's orginzation did not help, in fact purposfully hurt, women, children, blacks, and unskilled workers, who were viewed as a threat to journeyman. Heighton was the portrait of a self-made man. He was an English immigrant who became a wage-working shoemaker, who later became a leader of men, and a celebrity throught taverns and commoners. Heighton was greatly influenced by John Gray.

or ∆y = m ∆x
The Digital Differential Analyzer (DDA) is a scan-conversion line algorithm based on calculating either ∆y or ∆x, using the following equations ∆y = m ∆x
∆x = ∆y/m
We sample the line at a unit intervals in one coordinate and determine corresponding integer values nearest the line path for the other coordinate. Consider first a line with positive slope. If the slope is less than or equal to 1, we sample at unit x intervals (∆x = 1) and compute each successive y value as yk+1 = yk + m Subscript k takes integer values starting from 1, for the first point, and increases by 1 until the final end point is reached. Since m can be any real number between 0 and 1, the calculated y values must be rounded to the nearest integer. For lines with a positive slope greater than 1, we reverse the roles of x and y. That is, we sample at unit y intervals (∆y = 1) and calculate each succeeding x values as xk+1 = xk + 1/m These equations are based on the assumption that lines are to be processed from the left endpoint to the right end point. If this processing is reversed, so that the starting endpoint is at the right, then we either have ∆x = -1 or ∆y = -1.

Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT) is the common denominator for all therapies which are using sound wave transfered to the whole body, or parts of the body, in order to obtain increased well-being. VAT is used as the main effective feature in many products under different generic names. Although the healing effect of sounds and music have been known in folk medicine for thousands of years, VAT in its modern form (using lodspeakers or acoustic transducers) was first introduced by Olav Skille, Norway in 1980. The main target group was children with multiple handicaps, and the first observed effects were reduction of spasms in children with Cerebral Palsy. Since then many different fields of use have been discovered by many research projects from all over the world.

About Lynx Edicions[edit]

The Handbook of the Birds of the World is managed, edited and published entirely in Barcelona, from where it is marketed and distributed to over 150 countries. It is an innovative and unique work, the first ever to deal with all the bird species in the world (and their most distinctive subspecies) in detail and with complete illustrations and photographs. Each volume is produced with the participation of preeminent specialists from different countries who have specialized in each of the families. This emphasis on technical expertise has resulted in the coordination of an international team of authors and illustrators from the publishing house. The first volume appeared in 1992 and that same year it was recognised as the Bird book of the year, a prize given by two prestigious British publications, British Birds and BirdWatch. These same two publications awarded the prize once more in 2002 for Volume 7 of the Handbook of the Birds of the World. The Handbook of the Birds of the World is directed mainly towards the scientific community. As it has grown to become a high-level international project, many world experts have endorsed it and have been incorporated into its team of writers. The scientific media and many specialized journals have recognized the Handbook as the foremost work of international ornithology, a claim which many channels in the national and international media have confirmed repeatedly. In addition to publishing the Handbook, in its 15 years of existence Lynx Edicions has also published over 50 books in four different languages (Spanish, Catalan, French and English).

Speliopoulos studied fashion at Parsons School of Design in New York and graduated with a BFA in 1981. His first job as a fashion designer was as assistant stylist with Laura Biagiotti in Rome in 1982. He then worked briefly at the French couture house of Christian Dior and later for New York sportswear designer Gloria Sachs whose label went out of business in 1992. In 1985, Speliopoulos was named creative director at Carolyne Roehm Inc., a New York fashion house that had been created in 1984. He left in 1991 to become fashion director with Joseph Abboud. From 1993 to 1997, Speliopoulos then worked as a designer for Donna Karan in New York. He replaced Narcisco Rodriguez as head of design for the women's collection at Nino Cerruti in mid-1997. While at Cerruti, he gave the label a fresh modern look using fine detail and exquisite fabrics. He left Cerruti in [[2002]} to returned to New York as Vice President of Design for Donna Karan New York. He has stayed with Donna Karan, a fashion house owned by the French LVMH Group, since then. Speliopoulos has also worked as a costume designer for Karole Armitage, a New York ballett dancer who owns her own dance company. In the summer of [[2000], he designed the costumes for the Athens Opera production of 'The Birds' by Aristophanes. The collaboration with Armitage continued until 2003. He has also worked as a costume designer with the Rambert Dance Company in London for which Karole Armitage was a choreographer.

Crane Industries[edit]
|
|---|
Crane Industries is the business that serves as the principal employer for the Crane family on NBC daytime's popular seven-year running soap Italic textPassionsItalic text. Based out of Harmony, Maine (the principal setting for Italic textPassionsItalic text), Crane Industries is headed by the ruthless and powerful Alistair Crane, portrayed on-screen by John O'Reilly since January 2005. Prior to late 2004, Alistair's son Julian, played by the superb Ben Masters since 1999, presided over dealings at Crane Industries. However, since Julian's moral turnaround from American playboy to perfect gentleman, Alistair has deemed his son not ruthless enough to control the company. The enterprise's legal counsel is Ethan Winthrop (portrayed by Eric Martsolf, 2002-present), the disinherited son of Julian's first wife Ivy Winthrop (portayed by Kim Johnston Ulrich, 1999-present), who believed he was Julian's son until his wife Gwen Hotchkiss (played by Liza Huber, 1999-present) exposed his true paternity to the tabloid Italic textDaily Private LivesItalic text, revealing that he was not of Crane blood. However, Ethan has continued to serve as the attorney for the company. In 2002, when spitfire Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald (Lindsay Hartley, 1999-present) and Julian accidentally wound up married, Theresa made herself CEO of Crane Industries so she would prevent Ethan from getting any position at Crane. However, after stepping down, power returned to Alistair and Julian. Julian's two sons, Foxworth 'Fox' Crane (portrayed by Justin Hartley since 2002) and Chad Harris (portrayed by Charles Divins since 2002), also work at the company. Two new additions to Crane Industries include Kay Bennett, who works as her boyfriend Fox's secretary, and scheming Valerie Davis (played by Daphnee Duplaix Samuel since December 2004), who is the executive assistant to Fox and Chad, but is trying to get closer to Fox and push Fox and Kay further apart.

Absolute value equations are those which include absolute values in the terms of the equation. They are strict binomials: they will always produce two answers: this is because to solve an absolute value equation, you will eventually have to split it into a negative and a positive scenario, because we do not know the sign of x and the absolute value bars would remove it anyway. The simplest of the absolute value equations is |x|=x. This simply states that the absolute value of x is x. A more complex equation would be 5|x-4|+18=2. To solve this, you must first isolate the absolute value term. First, you would subtract 18 from the entire formula to receive 5|x-4|=-16. Second, you would divide both sides by 5. You would receive: |x-4|=-16/5. Now you must split the equation: you should receive x-4=-16/5, 16/5. Now you work with these two answers. You simply add 4 to each term (for the fractions +20/5). Your answers become 4/5, 36/5. Should you have more than one absolute value term in an equation, you skip from binomials to general polynomials. If in function notation, these equations can be solved by graphing. Where the same y value corresponds to two different x values, you have found your answers.

Regards, anon. IKE is a method of establishing a security association between two communicating parties; usually the security association is in essence a key used to encrypt or authenticate communications. Basically, IKEv2 is a simplified version of IKEv1. The basic IKEv1 protocol consists of three exchanges between the two parties that wish to set up a security association. In the first exchange one party proposes various parameters for the security association and the other party accepts one of the proposals, or terminates the protocol session. Typical parameters are the encryption algorithm that is to be used and the key size. In the second exchange the communicants exchange further information required to set up the security association using the now agreed parameters. The security association is then established and the last exchange is used to check that the security association is working properly. For example if an encryption algorithm has been agreed in the first two exchanges then the third exchange is encrypted under that algorithm. IKEv2 accomplishes in two exchanges what IKEv1 does in three by using only one exchange to agree parameters instead of two. The terminology used in the IKEv2 RFC is less abstract than that in v1 and this should be a substantial improvement. IKEv1 was vague on numerous important points and this caused incompatibility between systems and headaches for implementers trying to undertand what the standard meant in real terms. The publication of IKEv2 coincides with a revision of the IP security (IPsec) architecture, of which IKE is a central component. Sources[edit]RFC 4306

The decision to guard his creative control led to the birth of his own label Riddim killa, a collaboration with Low Life, one of the rapidly growing scene’s leading labels. He was introduced to DJ Skitz by a mutual friend from the Deal Real workshop in the West End, and appears on Skitz’s albums Countryman and Homegrown volume 1. The pair now host a show on the BBC’s 1Xtra radio station, a leading black music network. This development in his career led to involvement in radio documentaries, including a programme recorded in Johannesburg about the aftermath of Apartheid. His other recordings include tracks with high profile DJs and producers such as The Nextmen, Mystro and Plus One, and alongside fellow MCs Roots Manuva, Skinnyman and Dynamite MC. His open-minded attitude to music is demonstrated in his collaborations with dance acts Roni Size and Freq Nasty, and even more surprisingly with Bjork and Nitin Sawney. He continues to dominate the live scene as one of the most sought after artists, taking the mic both on the UK circuit and with his contemporaries from across the Atlantic. Recent appearances include the MF Prince's Trust Concert with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys and the United Nations Habitat Charity Concert alongside Jazzy Jeff, Dead Prez and Mos Def, as well as regular appearance’s at London’s legendary Fabric live nights.
