Episode 1.1 (Primeval)

Episode 1 is the first episode of the ITV drama Primeval. The episode was aired on 10 February 2007 as a pilot for the series. The pilot became a success and was picked up before the series was aired.

Plot

At night. A Gorgonopsid emerges from the Forest of Dean pursuing Dr. Helen Cutter. Unable to find shelter in a nearby closed supermarket, Helen flees back into the forest. With no witnesses to her disappearance, she is presumed dead.

Eight years pass. At Central Metropolitan University, graduate student Connor Temple approaches his tutor in evolutionary zoology, Professor Nick Cutter, and Cutter’s assistant, Stephen Hart, with a newspaper photograph of a Therapsid-like creature. Cutter initially dismisses it as a hoax, but decides to investigate upon learning that the sighting took place in the Forest of Dean, where his wife disappeared.

At the Forest of Dean, Cutter, Stephen, and Connor find evidence of a large and powerful predator. They are joined in their search by Claudia Brown, a junior-level agent from the Home Office sent to investigate the monster sighting.

Episode.0

"Episode.0" is the thirty-ninth single released by Japanese solo artist Gackt. It was released on July 13, 2011 by HPQ. It became the thirty-ninth Gackt's consecutive single to reach top ten on Oricon's singles chart, a male soloist record for most top 10 charts singles.

Summary

"Episode.0" and "Paranoid Doll" are the two Gackpoid (Vocaloid) songs that were previously picked by Gackt in a Niconico Video fan video contest in 2009, with the initial prize being 10 million yen (US$120,000). Gackt said he would cover those songs if the staff were committed to making it a reality, and so after two years the songs were officially recorded and released. The final results have been announced during the "NicoNico Daikaigi 2011" event in Taiwan, and the ten prize winners were mathru/KanimisoP who won the Grand Prize for "Episode.0″, natsuP (SCL Project) won an Excellence Prize for "Paranoid Doll" which was also featured in the single, and eight other songs also won an Excellence Prize, including two by DonatakaP. KanimisoP received lowered prize of 300,000 yen (US$3,660) and the nine Excellence Prize winners received 100,000 yen (US$1,220).

Referee

A referee is the person of authority in a variety of sports who is responsible for presiding over the game from a neutral point of view and making on-the-fly decisions that enforce the rules of the sport, including sportsmanship decisions such as ejection. The official tasked with this job may be known, in addition to referee, by a variety of other titles as well (often depending on the sport), including umpire, judge, arbiter, arbitrator, linesman, commissaire, timekeeper, touch judge or Technical Official (by the International Olympic Committee).

Origin

The term referee originated in association football. Originally the team captains would consult with each other in order to resolve any dispute on the pitch. Eventually this role was delegated to an umpire. Each team would bring their own partisan umpire allowing the team captains to concentrate on the game. Later, the referee, a third "neutral" official was added, this referee would be "referred to" if the umpires could not resolve a dispute. The referee did not take his place on the pitch until 1891, when the umpires became linesmen (now assistant referees). Today, in many amateur football matches, each side will still supply their own partisan assistant referees (still commonly called club linesmen) to assist the neutral referee appointed by the governing football association if one or both assistant referees are not provided. In this case, the role of the linesmen is limited to indicating out of play and cannot decide off side.

Stride (surname)

Data striping

In computer data storage, data striping is the technique of segmenting logically sequential data, such as a file, so that consecutive segments are stored on different physical storage devices.

Striping is useful when a processing device requests data more quickly than a single storage device can provide it. By spreading segments across multiple devices which can be accessed concurrently, total data throughput is increased. It is also a useful method for balancing I/O load across an array of disks. Striping is used across disk drives in redundant array of independent disks (RAID) storage, network interface controllers, different computers in clustered file systems and grid-oriented storage, and RAM in some systems.

Method

One method of striping is done by interleaving sequential segments on storage devices in a round-robin fashion from the beginning of the data sequence. This works well for streaming data, but subsequent random accesses will require knowledge of which device contains the data. If the data is stored such that the physical address of each data segment is assigned a 1-to-1 mapping to a particular device, the device to access each segment requested can be calculated from the address without knowing the offset of the data within the full sequence.

Vanguard (band)

Vanguard is a Finnish metal band from Helsinki. It was formed in 1999 by J.Grym and has released two international albums, Succumbra (2005), Hydralchemy (2007) and one demo Cestrum Nocturnum (2004).

The band got its first record deal by winning the Metal Battle band competition held at the Wacken Open Air metal festival in Germany in 2004. They also performed there the next year.

Vanguard's producer/drummer Tonmi Lillman died in 2012 leaving the band's third record incomplete.

The band has made no statement to break up and radio host Klaus Flaming from Radio Rock recently told on air during a memorial show to Tonmi Lillman that the band was working to finish its third album with a new line-up.

This was later corroborated by the band's vocalist J.Grym on their MySpace page (citing the reason to do it there because the band had not built its new web presence yet).
