Multi Calibre Individual Weapon System (MCIWS) is an assault rifle developed in India by the Armament Research and Development Establishment, a laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation. It was first seen at the DEFEXPO 2014 exhibition.

As of 2015, the rifle is also known as the Advanced Automatic Rifle (AAR) and also as the F-INSAS rifle.

History
The Indian Army chose an indigenous assault rifle to replace the INSAS rifle currently in service. The decision, which could save money in foreign exchange and boost local manufacture, was made by the former Chief of Army Staff, General Dalbir Singh Suhag. Several rifles are currently undergoing small arms trials with three prototype rifles made for testing as a future replacement to the INSAS rifle.

The MCIWS has also found interest with the Indian paramilitary forces including the Border Security Force, Central Reserve Police Force, Indo-Tibetan Border Police and the Sashastra Seema Bal.

According to a DRDO September 18, 2018 newsletter, the MCIWS is now ready for serial production.

In October 2017, the MCIWS procurement was superseded by an Army process to acquire around 7 lakh 7.62mm calibre rifles.

In February 2019, the Indian Army signed a deal with SIG Sauer for the supply of 72,400 SIG716i rifles of 7.62x51mm calibre. This was followed by a second order for a similar number of rifles in July 2020.

On 3 March 2019, Russia and India inaugurated Indo-Russia Rifles in Uttar Pradesh, India to produce 7.62x39mm AK-203 assault rifles as a replacement for the INSAS. However, no contract has been signed or rifles produced because of pricing disagreements. The factory is unlikely to begin production in 2020.

Design
The MCIWS is configured to fire in 5.56×45mm NATO, 7.62×39mm and in 6.8mm Remington SPC. Its design is influenced by both the AR-15 and the FN FNC. The barrel assembly appears to be based on the AK-47.

The design would allow soldiers to configure it according to the needs of the missions by changing rifle barrels. The MCIWS uses a gas-operated short stroke piston design, and uses 30-round plastic-type magazines. The rifle also has ambidextrous features, such as the charging lever and magazine release. The MCIWS includes an indigenous under barrel grenade launcher to fire airburst-type grenades which can take out targets up to 500 meters. Various sights can be mounted on the Picatinny rail on the upper receiver.

The rifle is of aluminium alloy and features a modular, rivet-less design.

The Friends of Abe, Inc. (FOA) was a support and networking group for politically conservative members of the film industry in Hollywood. The organization was formed in 2004 by actor Gary Sinise.

History
Screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd helped organize the group. "Friends of Abe" is a reference to "friends of Bill", which is how members of Alcoholics Anonymous sometimes identify themselves, and "friends of Dorothy" (a euphemism for LGBT people), while "Abe" refers to Abraham Lincoln. As of January 2012, the organization had more than 1,800 members. In addition to Sinise, Pat Boone, Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer, Kevin Sorbo, and Scott Baio have stated that they are members of the organization. The organization strongly protects its list of members for whom it maintained a secure private website, abespal.com. Sinise later withdrew from the leadership and Hollywood producer Jeremy Boreing became executive director.

The group met monthly to hear guest speakers. It has hosted a number of Republican politicians at its events, including Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum, John Boehner, and Thaddeus McCotter. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia received reimbursement for giving a speech at a FOA fundraiser in 2012. Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Michael Steele and Mark Levin have also met with Friends of Abe, as have political operatives Frank Luntz and Karl Rove.

Friends of Abe spent three years trying to get tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status for their organization. The tax status is reserved for organizations that do not engage in any partisan activity. IRS officials have questioned whether the organization's promotion of presidential candidates during its events constituted political campaign support, an activity forbidden for tax-exempt organizations. During the application process, FOA refused IRS demands to provide it with access to the part of its website that includes its list of members since such access is not required by federal law. The tax-exempt status was granted in March 2014.

Dole CEO David H. Murdock has hosted FOA's annual gatherings at his 1,300-acre estate, Ventura Farms.

In April 2016 it was announced by executive director Boreing that "Effective immediately, we are going to begin to wind down the 501 c3 organization, bring the Sustaining Membership dues to an end, and do away with the costly infrastructure and the abespal.com website ... because we have been successful in creating a community that extends far beyond our events, people just don't feel as much of a need to show up for every speaker or bar night, and fewer people pay the dues that help us maintain that large infrastructure."

A rival group with the same name was founded in 2017, partly due to conservative divisions over Donald Trump.

Dermot Curtis (26 August 1932 – 1 November 2008) was an Irish international footballer. He represented his country 17 times, playing at centre-forward.

Curtis was playing in the League of Ireland for Shelbourne when he first hit the headlines. On 19 September, at Dalymount Park the League of Ireland XI held a star-studded English League XI to a 3–3 draw with Curtis notching the vital third goal.

He made his full international debut for Republic of Ireland at home to Denmark on 3 October 1956 in which he scored. In December that year he joined Bristol City for £8,000 where he was to score 16 league goals in only 26 games.  In September 1958 he joined Ipswich Town, playing in the side that won promotion to Division One in 1961, and the league championship the following season. However, the form of Ray Crawford and Ted Phillips limited his chances at Portman Road, and in August 1963 he moved to Exeter City after only 41 league games (in which he scored 17 times).

On 23 September 1963 he became the first Exeter player to be capped for his country as he earned his 17th and final international cap in a 0–0 draw with Austria in Vienna. After 91 league appearances (in which he scored 23 goals), Curtis moved to Torquay United, signing in August 1966. However, his move to Plainmoor was not a great success as in his only season he made just 12 league appearances, scoring just a single goal. In June 1967 he returned to Exeter City, where his league career was to end after a further 66 league appearances in which he scored 10 goals. He later played non-league football for Bideford.

Curtis died in Exeter on 1 November 2008, after a long illness.

Consignment is the fifth mixtape released by rap artist Jadakiss. It was released on April 27, 2012. The mixtape has been downloaded over 1 million times on DatPiff, certifying it double platinum.  The mixtape features guest appearances from Wale, French Montana, Styles P, Meek Mill, Yung Joc, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks, Young Jeezy, Yo Gotti, Ace Hood, Waka Flocka Flame, Slim Dunkin, 2 Chainz, Emanny, Cito, Goldie, Swerv, Future, Gucci Mane, Sheek Louch and Trae Tha Truth.

Background
On April 1, 2012, Jadakiss announced his fifth mixtape Consignment.

Critical reception 
Consignment was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics. Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX said "Overall, much of Consignment reflects the watered down state of a scene where artificial team ups are designed to tackle the risk of dedicated fandom not being enough for East Coast emcees to stay afloat. As Jadakiss readies Top 5 Dead Or Alive, he should keep in mind his natural ability to stand out from the bunch, as accessories aren't always necessary." Ralph Bristout of XXL gave the mixtape an L, criticizing the excessive number of features; while praising the lyrics, he took issue with the beats as "consistently [not] up to par" with Jadakiss's rapping.

Mark H. Berry (1896–1958)  was an American national weight lifting champion, author and trainer.

Biography

Berry was born in Chicago in 1896, the son of an engineer and inventor. He was the U.S. Olympic Weightlifting coach at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics and the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He was the first Olympic weight lifting coach for the U.S.

After his success as a weight lifter he focused on teaching others. Berry advocated drinking milk and focusing on compound movements especially heavy squats for building power and bulk. He is considered one of the pioneers of weight lifting with his classic books Physical Training Simplified and Physical Improvement. He edited several magazines published through the Milo Barbell Company, these were Strength, The Strongman and Physical Training Notes. Berry became director of the Milo Barbell Company and editor of the Strength magazine in 1926.

Berry was associated with the physical culture movement of strength training, but disliked the movement's connections with lighter exercise, natural living and vegetarianism. Alternative health reformers such as Arnold Ehret, Bernarr Macfadden and Paul Bragg were associated with the physical culture movement but Berry had little in common with them.

Lifting champion

He was a successful feather weight champion in the American continental weight-lifters association (ACWLA) in the mid-1920s.

Trainer

Mark trained a young John Grimek whom he met in the late 1920s.  Grimek would later win the Mr. America and Mr. Universe titles.  After his success with Grimek and others he was selected to be the head coach for the 1932 and 1936 United States Olympic Weight Lifting Teams, the latter of which John Grimek was a participant. He continued to instruct throughout the 1940s and 1950s as a head physical trainer for the BUR Barbell Company.

Synchronous Data Flow (SDF) is a restriction on Kahn process networks where the number of tokens read and written by each process is known ahead of time. In some cases, processes can be scheduled such that channels have bounded FIFOs.

Limitations 
SDF does not account for asynchronous processes as their token read/write rates will vary. Practically, one can divide the network into synchronous sub-networks connected by asynchronous links. Alternatively a runtime supervisor can enforce fairness and other desired properties.

Applications 
SDF is useful for modeling digital signal processing (DSP) routines. Models can be compiled to target parallel hardware like FPGAs, processors with DSP instruction sets like Qualcomm's Hexagon, and other systems.
