  • Teacher's Notes
    Teacher’s Notes: The Maximus Black Files The Only Game in the Galaxy By Paul Collins Synopsis The Only Game in the Galaxy is the final book in the series The Maximus Black Files . The trilogy includes the previously published and very successful, Mole Hunt as well as the intriguing Dyson’s Drop. Author Paul Collins imbues his characters and settings with detailed descriptions of futuristic worlds. The story is set in a far away galaxy in a time where life on earth is a distant memory. Maximus Black is a Special Agent for RIM, an intergalactic law enforcement agency. Previously, he had set out to kill Anneke Longshadow who was his sworn enemy and also an agent at RIM. She is just as smart, just as talented, and also prepared to do just about anything to survive. Unlike Maximus however, she is loyal to RIM. She survives Max’s attempt on her life but suffers a strange type of amnesia. Whilst Max curses about her survival he is determined to ‘use’ her on a dangerous mission that should lead her to a hapless death. These main characters, Maximus Black and his nemesis, Anneke Longshadow, continue their rampant dislike of each other. However, this story also includes events where they are dependent upon each other not only for their own survival but also the protection of their family and future. They travel back in time encountering strange and dangerous virus-infected planets, grossly fierce and ugly beings, as well as attempting to solve the code that will fulfil their destiny.

  • Part One: 'Science Fiction Versus Mundane Culture', 'The Overlap Between Science Fiction and Other Genres' and 'Horror Motifs' Transcript
    Part One: 'Science Fiction versus Mundane Culture', 'The overlap between Science Fiction and other genres' and 'Horror Motifs' Transcript Date: Thursday, 8 May 2008 - 11:00AM Location: Royal College of Surgeons SCIENCE FICTION VERSUS MUNDANE CULTURE Neal Stephenson When the Gresham Professors Michael Mainelli and Tim Connell did me the honour of inviting me to this Symposium, I cautioned them that I would have to attend as a sort of Idiot Savant: an idiot because I am not a scholar or even a particularly accomplished reader of SF, and a Savant because I get paid to write it. So if this were a lecture, the purpose of which is to impart erudition, I would have to decline. Instead though, it is a seminar, which feels more like a conversation, and all I suppose I need to do is to get people talking, which is almost easier for an idiot than for a Savant. I am going to come back to this Idiot Savant theme in part three of this four-part, forty minute talk, when I speak about the distinction between vegging out and geeking out, two quintessentially modern ways of spending ones time. 1. The Standard Model If you don't run with this crowd, you might assume that when I say 'SF', I am using an abbreviation of 'Science Fiction', but here, it means Speculative Fiction. The coinage is a way to cope with the problem that Science Fiction is mysteriously and inextricably joined with the seemingly unrelated literature of Fantasy. Many who are fond of one are fond of the other, to the point where they perceive them as the same thing, in spite of the fact that they seem quite different to non-fans.

  • Introducing Amazon RDS for Aurora Chris Littlefield, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate Level, AWS Certified Sysops Administrator – Associate Level
    Expert Reference Series of White Papers Introducing Amazon RDS for Aurora 1-800-COURSES www.globalknowledge.com Introducing Amazon RDS for Aurora Chris Littlefield, AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate Level, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate Level Introduction The following document provides an overview of one of the latest offerings from cloud leader Amazon Web Services (AWS). It’s a product that will enable powerful, massively scalable relational databases in Amazon’s cloud environment. The product was designed, built, and tested in secret over the past three years, and now it is nearly ready for production workloads. Some of its detailed design remains confidential, so we’ll present the released features and functionality, as well as pricing for this exciting new product. Background In November 2014, at Amazon Web Services’ annual conference re:Invent, Andy Jassy introduced a series of revolutionary new products. Among those new products is the product described in this paper, which is based on AWS’s hugely successful Relational Database Service (RDS). So what’s this new product, you ask? It’s Amazon Aurora for RDS. Aurora is MySQL compatible database solution that will enable highly scalable databases running across multiple AWS availability zones, at a very low price point. It’s designed to deliver the performance and availability of commercial grade databases at the simplicity and price point of open source databases. What is Amazon Aurora? Aurora is a MySQL compatible database engine that far exceeds the current size limitations of relational databases running on RDS. It spans three AWS availability zones within a region. The great news is that if you already use or are familiar with RDS, you’re already going to be comfortable configuring Aurora.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.
