  • Toss-Up Questions 1. His Message in the Kind Keeper That Having Mistresses Is a "Crying Shame" Made It Very Badly Received
    Toss-up Questions 1. His message in The Kind Keeper that having mistresses is a "crying shame" made it very badly received. His Spanish Fryar attacked both England's ancient enemy and Catholicism and Religio Laici was an exposition of the Protestant creed. His Heroic Stanzas commemorate the death of Oliver Cromwell, while his Astraea Redux celebrates the restoration of Charles II. FTP, name this English poet laureate who is known for Pindaric odes such as Alexander's Feast and for his long poem on the Dutch War, Annus Mirabalis. John Dryden 2. Allowed by Einstein's results, their creation requires only the use of "exotic matter" with negative energy that is thought to arise when quantum fluctuations in vacuum are suppressed. Perhaps appearing spontaneously right now on a . minute scale, Stephen Hawking says they are useless because even a single particle brings their destabilization, but we may be able to peer through them into other universes. FTP, name these theoretical shortcuts from one area of space­ time to another, one of which is now inhabited by Captain Sisko. Wormholes 3. His odd taste was cultivated by his father, who let him listen only to offbeat compositions that customers didn't want, and he paid tribute to Columbus with 1992's The Voyage. He studied with Milhaud (Mee-yo) and transcribed the music of Ravi Shankar, starting an Indian fascination which led to his Satyagraha. His recent operas include In the Penal Colony, based on the Kafka short story, as well as Galileo Galilei. FTP, name this composer famous for helping to popularize minimalist music with his opera Einstein on the Beach.

  • Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008
    1 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Long time archiving from extensive data supplies requires more then only big storage capacity to be economical. Different requirements need different solutions! A technology comparison repays. Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Dr. K. Engelhardt 2 Secure Data Storage – White Paper Storage Technologies 2008 Secure Data Storage - An overview of storage technology - Author: Dr. Klaus Engelhardt Audit-compliant storage of large amounts of data is a key task in the modern business world. It is a mistake to see this task merely as a matter of storage technology. Instead, companies must take account of essential strategic and economic parameters as well as legal regulations. Often one single technology alone is not sufficient to cover all needs. Thus storage management is seldom a question of one solution verses another, but a combination of solutions to achieve the best possible result. This can frequently be seen in the overly narrow emphasis in many projects on hard disk-based solutions, an approach that is heavily promoted in advertising, and one that imprudently neglects the considerable application benefits of optical storage media (as well as those of tape-based solutions). This overly simplistic perspective has caused many professional users, particularly in the field of long-term archiving, to encounter unnecessary technical difficulties and economic consequences. Even a simple energy efficiency analysis would provide many users with helpful insights. Within the ongoing energy debate there is a simple truth: it is one thing to talk about ‘green IT’, but finding and implementing a solution is a completely different matter.

  • Quarter and Half Dollar Coins: History and Proposed Designs
    December 19, 2019 Quarter and Half Dollar Coins: History and Proposed Designs The Secretary of the Treasury, through the U.S. Mint, is Figure 2. Bicentennial Quarter and Half Dollar, 1976 statutorily required to issue specific denominations of circulating coins (31 U.S.C. §5112). Currently, the United States has six circulating coins—dollar, half dollar, quarter dollar, dime, nickel, and penny. All coinage is also required to have certain design elements, including specific words such as “Liberty,” or “E Pluribus Unum.” The quarter dollar has been redesigned twice in recent years (1997 and 2008), while the half dollar was last redesigned in 1964. Quarter Dollar Designs The first quarters were issued in 1796 and depicted Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Since then, the quarter dollar has been redesigned four times: in 1932 to place President Washington on the obverse, in 1976 for the Bicentennial of the United States, in 1997 when the 50-state quarter program was authorized, and in 2008 when the America the Beautiful program was authorized. Washington Quarter In March 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a law (46 Stat. 1523) to change the design of the quarter dollar coin to commemorate “the two hundredth anniversary of the birth Source: U.S. Mint, “1976 Bicentennial Coins,” at of George Washington.” The law required a portrait of https://www.usmint.gov/learn/kids/library/bicentennial-coins. George Washington on the obverse and “appropriate devices on the reverse….” The finished coin (as seen in 50 State Quarters Figure 1) had a “standard eagle” design on the reverse.
