Google Tech Talks February 19, 2009 ABSTRACT Slides for this talk are available at: www.slideshare.net Speaker: David LeBlanc David's Ph.d in physics was completed at University of Ottawa (1998) on high temperature superconductors. During this period, he developed a great interest to pursue both fission and fusion reactor design basics, which separately cumulated in a long term fellowship from the Canadian Fusion Fuels Technology Project (later ITER Canada) for his work on the use of high Tc superconductors in the fusion field and also work for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited on worldwide reactor design comparisons. Since then he has been teaching at the Carleton University physics department and continued his investigations primarily in the field of Molten Salt Reactors, also known as Liquid Fluoride Reactors. David founded Ottawa Valley Research Associates Ltd to expand these efforts and has completed a license agreement with a European firm with a goal of development of a new generation of Molten Salt Reactors.

www.retrogamingcollector.com ---------------- PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING! Gameplay from Tomb Raider The Last Revelation (Tomb Raider 4) coded by Core Design and published by Eidos, playing on the Sony Playstation / PS1retro games console. Retro Gaming. This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability. It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random. Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly. Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game. However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

Go inside the benchmarking lab in Santa Clara, California and in labs in Hillsboro, Oregon to see first-hand the enthusiasm, brilliance and dedication that went into creating the new Core i7 microarchitecture, codenamed "Nehalem." The Core i7 can handle more data, quicker and more energy efficiently. "Building this microprocessor brings a lot of people together, like architects, micro architects and the design teams," says Rani Borkar, vice president of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group. "As you get into the development phases, working with the process technology, it's a mind-boggling effort that requires a lot of teamwork across the board."

Super Fast 9V Magnet Motor - Dual Core!

Super fast magnetic motor. This is a Newman Motor, but better. It's simplicity is what makes this motor so cool. It's made with 1 coil of copper wire wound in two parts, (top and bottom coils) one end grounded to the shaft, and the other to the negative of the 9V battery. The positive is connected to the other end of the shaft completing the circuit. The speed is phenomenal and I've not seen another Newman motor with this speed. If you know of one please send the vid!. Also you'll notice two sets of neo-mags. This is the reason for the phenomenal speed achieved. Though there's nothing really special about the design. Moving the magnets out closer to the coils simply produces more force on both end of the shaft, making the motor spin at a much higher RPM than a single core design which is further from the magnetic fields produced by the copper coils. If you have a similar design that spins faster I'd like to see it. Subscribe for updates on this motor!

Core Design was a British video game studio best known today for creating the popular Tomb Raider series.
History
Core Design was set up in 1988 by Chris Shrigley, Andy Green, Rob Toone, Terry Lloyd, Simon Phipps, Dave Pridmore, Jeremy Heath-Smith and Greg Holmes. Most were former employees of Gremlin Graphics.The studio was based in the city of Derby, England.
The studio was part of distribution company CentreGold when it was acquired by Eidos Interactive in 1996. Eidos subsequently sold most of CentreGold, but retained U.S. Gold, the owners of Core Design.
Core had a brief history of producing titles for the Sega consoles (Thunderhawk for Sega CD was arguably one of a handful of games that took advantage of the platform).
Tomb Raider
The company is widely known for the Tomb Raider series, created by Toby Gard and Paul Howard Douglas, which was released in 1996 and followed by several sequels. The success of Tomb Raider and its subsequent sequels played a huge part in keeping Eidos Interactive financially solvent.After the release of the original Tomb Raider, which had debuted on the Sega Saturn platform ahead of the PlayStation version (they had been developed simultaneously) Sony Computer Entertainment recognised the game's huge popularity and the potential mass appeal of future Tomb Raider titles. They offered Core Design and Eidos Interactive an exclusivity agreement, to ensure that the first sequel would not be developed for either the Saturn or the N64. The full terms of this offer have never been revealed, but it is likely to have included either a lump sum cash offer, a reduction in the third-party royalty rate or a contractual cross-promotional agreement (perhaps even all three).
By making the PlayStation the only console with Tomb Raider II, Sony Computer Entertainment was able to benefit by attracting new PlayStation owners leveraging Tomb Raider as a killer application and using Lara Croft as a marketing character alongside Sony's own first party characters. Core Design also had the advantage of developing only for a single console, rather than several at once. This exclusivity agreement was further extended to cover the third game in the series. The fourth and fifth games in the franchise, and respectively, were also released for the Sega Dreamcast.
Later years
In 2003, parent company Eidos moved development of the Tomb Raider franchise from Core Design to Crystal Dynamics, another Eidos-owned studio, after the sixth instalment, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, was met with mixed reactions by reviewers and was not a large commercial success. This prompted three key members of the Core Design team and several others to leave the company and establish a game development team of their own, Circle Studio.Jeremy Heath-Smith, a key member of the company and executive producer of the vast majority of their games, resigned from Core Design on 15 July 2003.
On 11 May 2006 it was announced that Core's assets and staff were sold to independent development group Rebellion. Eidos still owns the Core brand and IP, including those of Tomb Raider.
In June 2006 screenshots were released showing development of a PSP version of an anniversary edition of the original Tomb Raider, developed by Core Design. Days later, SCI, the by-now owners of Eidos Interactive, issued a press release announcing that Crystal Dynamics would be producing the game, rather than Core Design.
Remnants of the Core Design team (under the banner of Rebellion) went on to work on several titles in the years since including and Rogue Warrior. The Derby studio was closed by Rebellion in 2010 due to an expiring lease and the inability for the company to find a financier for the Derby studio.
Games
Core Design had developed and published numerous games in their time, including the following titles:
