# NIAONiao Virtual Singer

NIAONiao Virtual Singer (Chinese: 袅袅虚拟歌手), is a freeware vocal synthesizer application built for the Chinese and is the first singing vocal synthesizer made in China.

## Overview

The software works similarly to the Vocaloid software by Yamaha and another free shareware software called UTAU.
The default voicebank is named Yu Niaoniao (余袅袅), however additional voicebanks can be made manually to produce new vocals and additional languages are possible. The website for the software offers several other vocals for download.
The main samples are packed in a single large file. NIAONiao can have final consonants in a voice, since it is built for the Chinese language. There is a panel at the bottom for controlling parameters, pitchbends, and vibrato.
NIAONiao can import MIDI files, VSQX files, and UST files, export tracks as the "Niao" file format (*.nn), and render vocal tracks directly as WAV, MP3, or MIDI files.

# Callum Chambers

Callum Chambers (born 19 November 1979) is an Australian rules footballer who has played in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 13 draft pick in the 1997 AFL Draft from Lucknow, Victoria. Callum made his debut for the West Coast Eagles in Round 10, 2000 against Hawthorn.
He was a very skilled and essential player for the club while they were struggling at the bottom of the ladder during the 2001–02 seasons. However, as the Eagles' midfield was flooded with new talent, he struggled to make an impact and be selected for games on a consistent basis.
During this period, he played many games in the WAFL; initially for West Coast's WAFL-affiliate, East Perth (2000–01); and then (after that affiliation ended) with West Perth (2002–04). He won a WAFL premiership at each club, in 2000 and 2003 respectively.
Chambers was traded to the Carlton Football Club at the end of the 2004 season. There was much hype surrounding Callum at the club, as he was the fastest player over long distances in the history of the club, dashing long-distance records in trials. He showed glimpses of brilliance as he helped the team to win the 2005 Pre-Season premiership. However, his form faded away fast in the main season struggled to have much impact at AFL level, playing most of his 2006 for the Northern Bullants seniors. He was delisted at the end of the 2006 season.
From 2007 until 2010, Chambers returned to the West Perth Football Club. In 2008, Chambers played an excellent season, and finished second for the Sandover Medal, two votes behind Peel's Hayden Ballantyne. In 2011, Chambers moved to the Cervantes Football Club in the Central Midlands Coastal Football League; he remains there as of 2015, and won premierships with the club in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
# Dorotheus of Antioch

Dorotheus (Greek: Δωρόθεος) was Arian Archbishop of Constantinople from c. 388 until his death in 407. Preceding his elevation to the see of Constantinople, Dorotheus had served as Arian bishop of Antioch, having succeeded Euzoius of Antioch in 376.
Dorotheus' accession to the episcopal throne in Constantinople marked a period of turmoil within the Arian community of the metropolis. Dorotheus displaced the previous Archbishop, Marinus of Thrace, leading to a division of the community.
# Paul Hargrave

Paul Hargrave (1938 – February 10, 2025) was an American biochemist whose laboratory work established key features of the structure of rhodopsin.

## Career

In 1970, Hargrave received a PhD from the University of Minnesota, where he studied with protein chemist Finn Wold. After post-doctoral work under William J. Dreyer at the California Institute of Technology, Hargrave joined the faculty at Southern Illinois University in 1973.
In 1983, Hargrave and colleagues in his laboratory published the full amino acid sequence for rhodopsin, a photoreceptor protein, after having previously published partial sequences. The sequencing of rhodopsin was later described as a "monumental step" toward understanding the structure of rhodopsin. At the time, the purification of water-insoluble peptides was a challenge, and the Hargrave lab published several discoveries about how to manage them.
Hargrave came to the University of Florida in 1984 as a Jules and Doris Stein Research to Prevent Blindness Professor and in 1990 was named the Francis N. Bullard Professor and Eminent Scholar of Ophthalmology and Biochemistry at the University of Florida. His work continued to explore the structure of rhodopsin, including developing a topographic model. He also pursued further research into the function of rhodopsin, including its role in visual disease such as retinitis pigmentosa and retinoblastoma.
In 1985, Hargrave chaired and secured funding for the first FASEB Science Research Conference on Biology and Chemistry of Vision, which has become a biennial conference.

## Personal life and death

Hargrave was a member of the 50 States Marathon Club, having completed a marathon in every state in the United States.
He was the father of board game designer Elizabeth Hargrave.
Hargrave died from pancreatic cancer on February 10, 2025, at the age of 86.

# Volkswagen Group Scalable Systems Platform

The Volkswagen Group Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) is a modular car platform for electric cars being developed by the Volkswagen Group. SSP was announced in July 2021, as part of Volkswagen's "New Auto" strategy, to have a "single battery electric vehicle (BEV) platform across all the group's brands". SSP is planned to be introduced in 2029, and intend to succeed the MEB and PPE platforms. It is also expected to replace Volkswagen's internal combustion engine platforms. As with MEB it is expected that the platform will also be offered to other car manufacturers.
SSP is intended to have a common platform with different modules. The modules will have a limited number of variants to reduce production complexity. This will allow the Volkswagen brands to create differentiated cars, whilst having a high degree of standardisation. As well as a shared car platform, there will also be common battery, software and autonomous driving systems.
Reportedly Volkswagen will develop a variant for traditional cars under the code name "Trinity", whilst Audi is creating the variant for SUVs under the code name "Apollon".

## Software platform
### VW.os

VW.os (Volkswagen Operating System) developed by CARIAD to unify hardware and software under one tech stack.
# Moritz Franz Kasimir von Wobersnow

Moritz Franz Kasimir von Wobersnow (5 March 1708 in Kamissow–23 July 1759 at Kay) was a Prussian major general of infantry and a general-adjutant of Frederick the Great. He died at the Battle of Kay; a lifelong friend of the King, his name is included on the Equestrian statue of Frederick the Great.

## Family

Moritz Franz Kasimir came from the old Pomeranian noble family of Wobersnow. He was a son of Moritz Georg von Wobersnow (1677–1759), heredity lord of Kamissow and his wife, Anne Elisabeth, née Manteuffel, of the House of Popelow.

## Military service

In 1723, Wobersnow entered the Prussian military service in the infantry regiment "Grumkow" as a fahnenjunker. With Crown Prince Frederick, he transferred to the regiment Moulin, where he remained for the remainder of the reign of Frederick William II and for the first seven years of Frederick's reign, through the War of Austrian Succession. He was promoted to major in 1747. In August 1751, he received for his service a prebendary to the cathedral in Minden, which gave him a regular income. In March 1752 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and appointed to the adjutant to the king. He was also given control of the light Jaeger Corps. He also accompanied the king to his campaign to Saxony.

### Seven Years' War

He was wounded in the Battle of Prague, but soon recovered to fight at the battles of Rossbach and Leuthen. Frederick sent him and his light troops to support Christoph von Dohna against the Russians. In August 1758 he fought in the Battle of Zorndorf and helped to expel the Russians from Landsberg an der Warthe (Gorzów Wielkopolski) in September.
In February 1759 he received his own corps; he and Georg Ludwig von Puttkamer moved from Silesia to Poland, where they were commissioned to destroy Russian magazines. In June 1759, as the Russians, however, shifted their forces to western Poland, and marched toward the Oder river, a move that threatened the Prussian heartland, Brandenburg, and potentially Berlin. Frederick sent an army corps commanded by Friedrich August von Finck to contain the Russians; he sent a second column commanded by Christoph II von Dohna to support Finck. Wobersnow was at the vanguard of the second column. At Battle of Kay, in an effort to break the Russian line, Wobersnow led eight battalions and six squadrons from Züllichau against the Russian right wing. His cavalry penetrated the enemy's infantry line, but the Russian cavalry, supported by gun-fire, drove them back. He fell in the Kay on 23 July 1759.
