# IMPACT (computer graphics)

IMPACT (sometimes spelled Impact) is a computer graphics architecture for Silicon Graphics computer workstations. IMPACT Graphics was developed in 1995 and was available as a high-end graphics option on workstations released during the mid-1990s. IMPACT graphics gives the workstation real-time 2D and 3D graphics rendering capability similar to that of even high-end PCs made well after IMPACT's introduction. IMPACT graphics systems consist of either one or two Geometry Engines and one or two Raster Engines in various configurations.
IMPACT graphics consists of five graphics subsystems: the Command Engine, Geometry Subsystem, Raster Engine, framebuffer and Display Subsystem. IMPACT Graphics can produce resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels with 32-bit color and can also process unencoded NTSC and PAL analog television signals.
IMPACT graphics subsystems come in three configurations for SGI Indigo2 IMPACT workstations: Solid IMPACT, High IMPACT, and Maximum IMPACT. The equivalent configurations also exist for the SGI Octane workstation but are referred to as SI, SSI, and MXI (I-series). Later Octane workstations used a similar configuration but with updated ASIC chips and are referred to as SE, SSE, and MXE (E-series). IMPACT uses Rambus RDRAM for texture memory.
The IMPACT graphics architecture was superseded by SGI's VPro graphics architecture in 1997.

# Tiger Hart

Philip Manston Hart (19 August 1907 – 5 July 1996) known as Tiger Hart during his speedway career was a motorcycle speedway rider from England. He competed in the earliest days of speedway and won two qualifying rounds of the 1938 Individual Speedway World Championship. He earned two international caps for the England national speedway team in unofficial test matches against Australia in 1937.

## Biography

Hart, born in Balham, London, was described as an Australian racer when he first arrived in Britain during the pioneer years of British speedway in 1930. However, it transpired that Hart had run away to Australia, aged just 16, after an argument with his father over the purchase of a motorbike. He even raced for Australia in an event at the Wessex Stadium in Copnor Gardens, Portsmouth, described as a match between England and Australia.
He began his British leagues career riding for High Beech, during the 1931 Speedway Southern League season. The following season, he was signed by the West Ham Hammers, when the Southern and Northern leagues merged to form the National League. Another season was spent at West ham in 1933 before he moved to race for the Plymouth Tigers on loan.
Hart transferred from West Ham to Hackney Wick Wolves in 1935, but struggled to find a starting place until 1936, when he raced with Hackney and also with Nottingham in the Provincial League. He also became a favourite at the Arlington Stadium in Eastbourne, winning some events there. In 1937, he only rode in the Provincial league, posting a 7.41 average for the Hall Green/Birmingham Bulldogs and topped their averages in 1938 at 8.82 and became their team captain. He made two appearances for England during 1937, with some newspapers confusing the fact that he was riding for England and not Australia.
In 1938, he also rode for a newly formed Eastbourne Eagles in the Sunday Amateur Dirt Track League and averaged 10.27. This was also the season that he had such a good run in the 1938 World Championship. He returned to his parent club Hackney in 1939 but the season was ended early by the outbreak of World War II.
After the war had finished Hart resumed his speedway career with Birmingham Brummies from 1946 to 1947. He topped their averages in 1946.
After he retired he became the team manager at Tamworth Hounds and later the Birmingham Brummies.
# Nina Gourfinkel

Nina Lazavrevna Gourfinkel or Gurfinkel (1898 – 1984) was a Russian Jewish writer living in France. During World War II she worked to provide housing for Jews and other displaced people in the Zone libre. She wrote on Russian theatre and literature, with translations and biographies of Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Stanislavski, Gogol, Lenin, Maxim Gorky and Chekhov.

## Life

Nina Gourfinkel was born to Jewish parents in Odessa. Her sister was the journalist, writer and translator Juliette Pary.
Her father was a doctor who had previously practiced in Saint Petersburg. She studied in Russia, where she was a close friend of Lydia Ginzburg.
In 1925 Gourfinkel moved to Paris. One of her first publications introduced Russian formalism to French literary criticism, and her later book on Tolstoy was influenced by the work of OPOJAZ members Boris Eikhenbaum and Viktor Shklovsky. She was a friend of Irène Némirovsky, and established herself as an expert on contemporary Russian theatre.
In summer 1940 Gourfinkel started working to provide relief for people displaced by World War II. In 1941, together with Joseph Weill of OSE and Alexandre Glasberg, she helped found an organization providing hostels in the Zone libre for men and women, mostly Jews, who had been released from French internment camps. She continued working for the organization in Lyon after the war.

# Nine Longings

Nine Longings (Chinese: 九思; pinyin: Jiǔ sī; "Nine Longings") form one of the 17 major sections of the ancient Chinese poetry collection, the Chu ci. The "Nine Longings" consists of ten poems (or, nine plus luan envoi), each individually titled, written according to the style of the earlier pieces in the Chu ci anthology. It is one of the several collections of poems grouped under the title of "Nine" something-or-others, most but not all of which consist of 9 pieces of poetry. One of the older of them, Jiu ge ("Nine Songs") consists of 11 individual pieces: "nine" in antiquity was often used as a synonym for "many", and in the context of the Chu ci generally refers to a musical arrangement with "nine" modal changes. (Hawkes, 2011 [1985]: 36–37) The "Nine Longings" poems were written by the Han dynasty royal librarian Wang Yi, who is more famous for his commentary on the Chu ci than he is for these original works which he appended to his published annotated copy. (Hawkes, 2011 [1985]: 307)

## Content

Wang Yi manages to produce somewhat of a Confucian version of Chuci poetry, using its conventionalized symbolism. In nine verses with an envoi:
* I Meeting with Reproach (Feng you)
* II Resentment against the Ruler (Yuan shang)
* III Impatience with the World (Ji shi)
* IV Pity for the Ruler (Min shang)
* V Running into Danger (Zan e)
* VI Grieving over Disorder (Dao luan)
* VII Distressed by These Times (Shang shi)
* VIII Lament for the Year (Ai sui)
* IX Maintaining Resolution (Shou zhi)
* X Luan

# Trans-Siberian Railway (Fabergé egg)

The Trans-Siberian Railway egg is a jewelled Easter egg made under the supervision of the Russian jeweller Peter Carl Fabergé in 1900 for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. The Fabergé egg was presented by Nicolas II as an Easter gift to his wife, the Tsarina Alexandra Fyodorovna. It is currently held in the Kremlin Armoury Museum in Moscow.

## Design

The exterior of the 1900 Trans-Siberian Railway egg is made of onyx, silver, gold, and quartz, and is decorated with colored vitreous enamel. The lid of the egg is hinged, has an overlay of green enamel, and is decorated with inlaid leaves of acanthus. On top of the lid is a golden three-headed eagle in gold with the Imperial Crown. The interior is lined with velvet.
A route map of the Trans-Siberian Railway is engraved in silver across the face, with major stations marked by a precious stone, forming a belt around the egg. The egg is supported by three griffins made of gold-plated silver on a stepped triangular base of white onyx.

## Surprise

The surprise is a miniature clockwork replica of a steam train made of gold and platinum in three sections, with an overall length of one foot. It has a diamond headlight, and ruby marker lights. The five carriages have rock crystal windows and are labeled “mail”, “ladies only”, “smoking”, “non-smoking” and “chapel”. The train has a gold key that can be used to wind it up and make it run.

## History

In 1900, the railway linking European Russia with Vladivostok on Russia’s Pacific coast was nearing completion. This was an accomplishment that, despite its tremendous cost in resources and human lives, brought Nicholas great satisfaction since, as Tsarevitch, he had travelled to the Far East to lay the eastern foundation stone.

# Alto Trek

Alto Trek is a computer game, developed by Gene Ball and Rick Rashid for the Xerox Alto while they were graduate students at the University of Rochester during the late 1970s. It is one of the first networked multiplayer games.

## Gameplay

Alto Trek is a multiplayer game where each player uses their own Alto workstation to control a starship. The objective of the game is to destroy the enemy without being destroyed. A player can choose between being a Klingon, Romulan, or Terran. The game can be played by one player, but there will be no enemy to destroy.
There is no central server that maintains the game state. Each Alto "multicasts" its game information on the shared Ethernet that all players must be on. The "multicast" address on which to rendezvous is a function of the number of stellar systems in the game.

## Development

The manual for version 2.1 is dated August 1979 and authored by Allen Wells, Bob Baldwin, and Steve Quarterman. It confirms that the game was authored primarily by Ball.
Around 1997, while a vice president at Microsoft, Rashid began to re-implement the game as a way to teach himself to use the DirectX programming API. This resulted in the development of Microsoft Allegiance.
# Alto Uruguay Flotilla

The Naval Flotilla of Alto Uruguay was a flotilla based in Itaqui and operating in Brazil from 1866 to 1906.
In 1874, it became involved in the so-called Alvear Conflict, in which it fired on the neighboring Argentine city of Alvear.

## Origins

The flotilla was established in 1866 by the Brazilian Empire in Itaqui during the Paraguayan War, in order to prevent Paraguayan invasions of Rio Grande do Sul. It included the Pará-class monitors Alagoas and Rio Grande, as well as some smaller wooden ships. The command of the flotilla was briefly abolished in 1871, being combined with that of the Rio Grande do Sul Flotilla. In 1872, however, Estanisláo Przewodowski, a native of Bahia and of Polish origin, was appointed commander of the flotilla.
In 1874, Pamphilo Manoel Freire de Carvalho, a medical lieutenant-captain who had come to the aid of a wounded Brazilian in the nearby Argentine town of Itaqui de Alvear, was assaulted by two healers of Italian origin in front of the local police, who did not react. Przewodowski, in reaction, repeatedly asked the Argentine authorities to hand over the aggressors. Seeing no reaction, he ordered on June 22 that both flotilla monitors execute hourly bombardments against the city's outposts, until, at the fourth firing, a committee of Alvear residents went to Itaqui to negotiate a ceasefire, which Przewodowski granted.
The flotilla was terminated in 1906.

## Ships

From 1866 to 1879, the Flotilha Naval do Alto Uruguay was composed of:
Gunboats :
* Greenhalgh Vidal de Negreiros Tramandahy |
* Monitors |
* Alagoas Rio Grande |

## History

Transborder Express was established in July 1954 by Jack Williams operating a mail service from Yass to Canberra connecting with the South Mail at Yass Junction railway station with limited passenger capacity as far as Yass. In 1959, a passenger service between Yass Junction and Canberra commenced connecting with the Intercapital Daylight. Trading as Yass Canberra Coaches, it was renamed Transborder Express in 1983.
In May 1999, Transborder Express purchased the coach operations of Lever Coachlines with four coaches. In July 2008, Transborder Express was sold to Deane's Transit Group but retained its own identity.
In September 2012, ComfortDelGro Cabcharge acquired Deane's Transit Group which included Transborder Express.
In January 2023, the Transborder Express was retired with both it and Qcity Transit rebranded CDC Canberra.

## Services

Transborder Express operated services under contract to CountryLink and its successor NSW TrainLink. From 1997 until 2008, it operated services from Canberra to Cootamundra. In 2002, it commenced operating services from Cootamundra to Tumbarumba, Canberra to Bombala and Canberra to Eden.
In March 2004, Transborder commenced operating a Jolimont Centre to Goulburn service after CountryLink withdrew a Canberra to Sydney service. It connected with CityRail services to and from Sydney at Goulburn. It ceased after CountryLink reinstated its service in May 2004.
Until 2007, services were operated to the New South Wales snowfields and until March 2009, summer services were operated from Canberra to Ulladulla.
Commuter services were between Yass and Canberra. School bus services were operated under contract to the NSW and ACT governments. These brought students from the various rural communities on the western side of Canberra, including Hall, Wallaroo, Murrumbateman and Yass.

# Nikon F75

The Nikon F75 (sold in the United States as the N75 and Japan as the U2) was the last consumer-level autofocus 35mm SLR camera sold by the Nikon Corporation beginning in 2003. The camera replaced the similarly consumer-targeted Nikon F65.

## History and design

The Nikon F75 was released in February 2003, and is basically a version of the F5 with a plastic frame. The F75 was designed for consumers and professionals working on a budget as it has most of the options of the more advanced F5 at a lower cost, because of the liberal use of plastics in the design. The camera was offered in silver or black, and retailed for only $300 new with a lens, and there were often rebates available. F75s without lenses were also sold for as low as $190.
The F75's features include depth-of-field preview, illuminated LCDs, full VR, flash, every exposure mode and program shift. The N75 also has new features, such as a 25 segment meter and a battery level indicator in the viewfinder. There was a version, dubbed the F75D (N75D) that featured a date-recording back. The N75 is also completely compatible with every type of Nikon lens dating back to 1983, including the AF, VR, AF-I and AF-S lenses. The F75 also has a metal lens mount in addition to its largely plastic construction. The F75 uses two CR2 lithium batteries.
Despite the advanced design and low cost, the Nikon F75 was released around the time digital cameras became mainstream, and its release was overshadowed by Nikon's more successful DSLRs, the Nikon D100 and D70. It was discontinued in January 2006, but it is still sold cheaply on the used market, and is valued because it can drive Nikon's newest lens designs.
