The Cinema Evaluation Board (CEB) is a body of the Film Development Council of the Philippines, tasked with grading Filipino films by quality. It is represented in the Philippine Film Export Services Office.
The CEB was established in 2003, succeeding the Film Ratings Board (FRB) which became defunct in early 2002. Like its predecessor, it gives tax rebates to films depending on their grading but unlike the FRB, the CEB's powers to give tax rebates is mandated by law.

Coil is the fifth studio album by American alternative rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket released in 1997. This was the band's last album for 16 years, until 2013's New Constellation.
As with previous albums, Coil was released under the Columbia Records label and produced by Gavin MacKillop.

## Studio outtakes

* "This Is My Life"
* "Hey Bulldog"
* "Comes A Time (Band Version)"
* "Comes A Time (Acoustic)"
* "Don't Know Me"
* "Acid"
* "Won't Let It"
According to Glen Phillips, the version of "Crazy Life" on Coil was recorded in 1994 during the sessions for the band's Dulcinea album. It was featured on the soundtrack to the 1995 film Empire Records but the band felt it deserved a place on a Toad album and fit this album's themes, so they added a new organ track and cut new background vocals and had Tom Lord-Alge do a new mix. The intro fade-in was cut short and the BPMs were pushed up to make the song slightly faster. This has led many fans to believe it is a completely different recording, despite the credits in the liner notes pointing to different studios and engineers for the track which match the Dulcinea sessions.

# Algebraic code-excited linear prediction

Algebraic code-excited linear prediction (ACELP) is a speech coding algorithm in which a limited set of pulses is distributed as excitation to a linear prediction filter. It is a linear predictive coding (LPC) algorithm that is based on the code-excited linear prediction (CELP) method and has an algebraic structure. ACELP was developed in 1989 by the researchers at the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada.
The ACELP method is widely employed in current speech coding standards such as AMR, EFR, AMR-WB (G.722.2), VMR-WB, EVRC, EVRC-B, SMV, TETRA, PCS 1900, MPEG-4 CELP and ITU-T G-series standards G.729, G.729.1 (first coding stage) and G.723.1. The ACELP algorithm is also used in the proprietary ACELP.net codec. Audible Inc. use a modified version for their speaking books. It is also used in conference-calling software, speech compression tools and has become one of the 3GPP formats.
The ACELP patent expired in 2018 and is now royalty-free.

## Features

The main advantage of ACELP is that the algebraic codebook it uses can be made very large (> 50 bits) without running into storage (RAM/ROM) or complexity (CPU time) problems.

## Technology

The ACELP algorithm is based on that used in code-excited linear prediction (CELP), but ACELP codebooks have a specific algebraic structure imposed upon them.
A 16-bit algebraic codebook shall be used in the innovative codebook search, the aim of which is to find the best innovation and gain parameters. The innovation vector contains, at most, four non-zero pulses.
In ACELP, a block of N speech samples is synthesized by filtering an appropriate innovation sequence from a codebook, scaled by a gain factor g c, through two time-varying filters.
The long-term (pitch) synthesis filter is given by:
    ${\frac {1}{B(z)}}={\frac {1}{1-g_{p}z^{-T}}}$
The short-term synthesis filter is given by:
    ${\frac {1}{A(z)}}={\frac {1}{1+\sum _{i=1}^{P}a_{i}z^{-i}}}$

# Richard Athil Udall

Richard Athil Udall (May 11, 1811 – March 31, 1883) was an American politician.
Udall, the only son of Dr Richard and Prudence (Carll) Udall, was born in Islip, Long Island, New York, May 11, 1811.
Udall graduated from Yale College in 1830. He studied law with his brother-in-law, Judge Selah B. Strong, of Setauket, Long Island; but his father's advanced age and dependence upon him prevented his entering on practice. He spent his life in Islip, and on three occasions (in 1842, 1846, and 1866) represented his district in the New York State Assembly. His inclinations and tastes led him, however, to prefer the comforts of his home life to the exertions and contests involved in seeking political or professional advancement. General Udall (as he was universally called) was eminently social and hospitable and enjoyed vigorous health throughout his life; he became blind, however, in 1875, but operations for cataracts were performed on both eyes in January, 1876, and his sight restored. He had a stroke of paralysis and apoplexy combined, on March 29, 1883, from the effects of which he died two days later, in his 72nd year, in the village of Babylon, in Islip.
He left two daughters by his first marriage with Hannah Willets. He was married for a second time, February 5, 1845, to Marie Antoinette, eldest daughter of Timothy P. Carll, of Babylon, who survived him, with one son and one daughter.
