High Moon Studios, Inc. (formerly Sammy Entertainment Inc. and Sammy Studios, Inc.) is an American video game developer initially formed in 2001. After nearly a year as an independent studio, the developer was acquired by Vivendi Games in January 2006 and placed under Sierra Entertainment. It is now owned by Activision Blizzard, Vivendi Games' successor and parent company of Activision. It has developed multiple Transformers video games and assisted in the development of select Call of Duty games, as well as Destiny.

History
High Moon Studios was formed in April 2001 as a division of the Japanese publisher Sammy, first known as Sammy Entertainment and later renamed Sammy Studios the following year, to develop and publish games in America. After Sammy merged with Sega to form Sega Sammy Holdings on October 1, 2004, Sammy discontinued all video game development in America to focus on its Japanese productions, and planned on closing Sammy Studios as part of this. However on March 3, 2005, Sammy Studios was acquired in a management buyout by a group led by president and CEO John Rowe, and renamed High Moon Studios. Turning to game development only, the studio continued development of games from its time as Sammy Studios, including the Western horror shooter Darkwatch. In January 2006, it was announced that Vivendi Universal Games had acquired the studio. After the merger of Vivendi and Activision, High Moon became a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard. 

Following the completion of Deadpool, Activision laid off 40 full-time employees from High Moon Studios that worked on the project. Activision stated "Activision Publishing consistently works to align its costs with its revenues – this is an ongoing process, with the completion of development on Deadpool, we are taking a reduction in staff at High Moon Studios to better align our development talent against our slate."

Robbie Faggart (born November 24, 1960) is an American former stock car racing driver. He competed in the NASCAR Sportsman Division in the early 1990s, winning the series' 1992 championship; he saw less success in NASCAR's top divisions, failing to qualify for seven Winston Cup Series races before running a limited schedule in the NASCAR Busch Series in the early 2000s.

Career

Faggart raced in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series during the 1980s, winning several races, before moving to the Sportsman Division, later the Igloo Sportsman Series, in 1990, running it until the series closed in 1995. He established himself as a winning driver in the Sportsman Division, winning both in the series itself and also in local Late Model competition in the early 1990s; in 1992 he won two Sportsman Series races at Charlotte Motor Speedway within the span of five days, going on to win the series championship; it was the first season in which the series had awarded a points title.

Faggart attempted to qualify for seven Winston Cup Series races during his career, but never made the field for a race in NASCAR's top division. He did compete in the Winston Open, a preliminary event for NASCAR's All-Star race, with his best run coming in 1996, where he qualified seventh and ran in the top five for part of the race before suffering engine failure and finishing 31st. He ran a limited schedule in the NASCAR Busch Series over several years; he ran a few events in the late 1980s and late 1990s, then competed in eleven races for Jay Robinson Racing in 2001, his most in a year. His career-best finish was 19th in 1997 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. His final start in the series came in 2002, at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May; it was his final start in top-level NASCAR competition.

In optical networking, a lightpath is a path between two nodes in an optical network between which light passes through unmodified.

Description 

When a lightpath can be established between source and destination node endpoints the connection is totally optical and avoids throttling by intermediate electronic conversions and processing.  Where a lightpath passes through an Optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is known as a cut-through lightpath. Where a lightpath is added or dropped at an OADM, it is known as an added/dropped lightpath.

Semi-lightpath 

Where endpoints are connected by a series of lightpaths with the intermediate nodes only changing the light wavelength at the junctions this may be referred to as a semi-lightpath.

Karl Selim Lemström (17 November 1838 in Ingå – 2 October 1904 in Helsinki), was a Finnish geophysicist. Lemström is best known on his research of aurora borealis. He had several expeditions in Finnish Lapland and even tried to create an artificial northern lights in the laboratory. In 1870 Lemström studied the metric system in Paris and introduced the system to Finland. Since 1872 he was a professor in the University of Helsinki. Lemström has been described as the "forgotten pioneer of northern light studies," and some of his experiments have been compared with the ones made by Nikola Tesla.

Aurora research 
In 1868 Lemström participated the Swedish expedition to Spitsbergen on the Svalbard Islands, led by Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld. On the way to the Arctic, Lemström studied aurora borealis in Tromsø and continued his observations in Svalbard. In Lapland Lemström took part at the first International Polar Year 1882–1884 and found out that the phenomenon could not be caused by an electric current in the atmosphere. These spectroscopic analyses are considered as his greatest contribution to the aurora research. Some of Lemström's theories were later tested by the Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland.

The Jihu (Chinese: 稽胡) were a people who lived along the Yellow River in northern Guannei and Hedong during the 7th century AD. According to Jonathan Karam Skaff, the Jihu had facial features distinct from the local Chinese people and were described as having "Barbarian heads and Han tongues." The majority of Jihu retained their native tongue and with the exception of their chiefs, none spoke Chinese. The men dressed similarly to the Han and practiced similar martial ethos while the women wore shell jewelry and were known to have sexual relations before marriage. They produced a special type of linen known as "barbarian female linen" or "Ji female linen". The Jihu worshiped a local Jihu Buddhist saint and constructed earthen pagodas with cypress flagpoles decorated with silkworm cocoons. The Jihu participated in raids against the Tang dynasty along with the Turks in the early 620s but eventually submitted to the Tang in 626.

The REO Speed Wagon (alternatively Reo Speedwagon) was a light motor truck model manufactured by REO Motor Car Company. It is an ancestor of the pickup truck.

First introduced in 1915, production continued through at least 1953, and made REO (the initials of its founder, Ransom Eli Olds) one of the better-known manufacturers of commercial vehicles in America prior to World War II. Although the basic design and styling of the chassis remained consistent, the Speed Wagon was manufactured in a variety of configurations (pickup and panel truck, passenger bus) to serve as delivery, tow, dump, and fire trucks, as well as hearses and ambulances. Other manufacturers provided refits for adapting the Speed Wagon for specialized purposes. The Speed Wagon used REO's "Gold Crown" series of engines, and was well regarded for power, durability, and quality.

While REO produced some wagons based on its automobile chassis (the Model H) starting in 1908 and had organized a division to produce trucks in 1910 with success, the Speed Wagon's introduction in 1915 was a significant step and a sales success. The company was soon offering a variety of Speed Wagon models with many options, and by 1925 had produced 125,000.

After years of roughly equal car and truck emphasis, REO shifted its focus completely to trucks, ending automobile production in 1936. Production for the civilian market was suspended during World War II, resuming in 1946. In 1967, Diamond T and Reo Trucks were combined to form the Diamond Reo Trucks Division of the White Motor Corporation.

The rock and roll quintet REO Speedwagon took its name from this vehicle, which was, in turn, later adapted into a main character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Models 
 1915 model featured 1-ton weight, four-cylinder engine, three speed transmission and aimed to be faster than the  average speed of contemporary trucks.
 1917 model featured 3.25-ton weight and canvas top and sides and cost $1125.
 1925 model featured six-cylinder engine
 1929 model featured REO's "Gold Crown" , , six-cylinder engine.
 1933 Model BN  featured REO's six-cylinder "Gold Crown" engine and combination of parts from the company's Flying Cloud and Royale luxury cars. It is a rare, relatively fast panel delivery truck with wooden body.

A boot-scraper, door scraper, mud scraper, or decrottoir is a device consisting of a metal blade, simple or elaborate, permanently attached to the wall or to the sidewalk at the entrance to a building to allow visitors to scrape snow, mud, leaves, or manure off the soles of their footwear before entering.

Appearance 
The simplest shoe scrapers could be a rectangular sheet of metal, a horizontal bar, or thick steel wire, but many had more complex shapes made of cast iron or wrought iron with horizontal center piece to scrape off the sole, vertical scraping surfaces to clean the sides of the boot, and other shapes to access concave area by the heel.

On building entrances, boot scrapers could be cemented into the pavement, protrude from a house walls, hide in a niche built into the facade, or sometimes integrated into wrought-iron banisters.

History 

The scrapers appeared at the end of the 18th century, at the same time as the sidewalks and abounded in the 19th century big cities, in the times of horse-drawn carriages and dirt roads. Originally placed directly on foot paths, some were banned as a danger to public safety and placed in niches in the facades.

Through the 20th century, the scrapers of European cities fell into disuse and many were removed during roadworks, or salvaged for ferrous metals.

Notable locations 
 At the British Prime Minister's office, 10 Downing Street in London, there are two ornate cast-iron Victorian shoe scrapers symmetrically on the right and left of the door.
 On the top step of the front staircase of Goethe's house in Weimar there is a simple shoe scraper made of a rectangular plate.
 In New York City's Greenwich Village, shoe scrapers are integrated into the banisters of some historic townhouses. 
 On Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts, shoe scrapers are a feature of most historic houses.
