Ant War is computer game for Windows published by American studio Anarchy Enterprises in 2003.

In Ant War, the player must make strategic decisions to grow a colony of  ants in order to conquer the world, by battling against enemies such as crickets or spiders. The goal is to accumulate 1 billion ants.

History
The original Ant War was a web game published in 2000, and its popularity encouraged Anarchy Enterprises to develop a full PC version. Ant War was influenced by the quick pick-up time of casual strategy game, Lemonade Tycoon. A demo version of the game was made available to play in web browsers.

Ant War has since been released as a free to play game with in app purchases on IOS and Android devices. It was released on the Steam Store as Ant War: Domination on October 2, 2015.

Gameplay
At the outset of each game the player is required to pick one of five ant types which affects how their colony performs. Leaf cutter ants: who find more food bonuses. Harvester Ants: who find more food items each day. Weaver Ants: who make new ants faster and find gems easier, they also do not like to fight. Carpenter ants who make the nest grow larger. Fire ants: who are good at fighting and find more enemies to fight.

Game play consists of building an ant colony by assigning percentages of your ants each day to one of four different roles: Farmers/Scouts: who farm and forage for food; Nurses: who breed new ants for your colony; Workers: who expand your ant colony; and Soldiers: who are dedicated fighters for your colony. The ant colony has three main resources that are used food, nest size, and ants. Your ants need food to survive, the size of the nest dictates how many ants can live in the colony as well as how much food can be stored, and the number of ants in the colony shows your overall success. As your colony grows large you can move it to increasingly difficult zones.

Your colony can also fight different enemies throughout the game in turn based combat. The colonies fighting power is displayed by an attack and defense value based on the number of ants in the colony as well as the percentage of ants assigned to be soldiers. The health of the colony is the total number of ants in the colony. The enemies faced also have their own health total (the number of ants if you are fighting a rival ant colony) and attack and  defense values. Combat has three options: Retreat, Auto Battle, and Attack. Retreating runs from the enemies with the chance to lose ants in the retreat, Auto Battle decides whether to attack or retreat, and Attack takes a turn in the combat. Defeating enemies will yield food for the colony.

USS Granville (APA-171) was a  inservice with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1973.

History 
Named after a county in North Carolina, Granville (APA-171) was launched 23 October 1944 by the Oregon Shipbuilding Corp., Portland, Oregon, under a Maritime Commission contract; sponsored by Mrs. Lowell Stockman; transferred to the Navy 21 November 1944 and commissioned the same day.

World War II 
Granville began her transport duties when she cleared San Francisco, California, 26 January 1945 carrying passengers to Pearl Harbor, the Marshalls, Carolines and Marianas. Departing Honolulu 18 April 1945 Granville sortied from Saipan 2 May to land 1,350 troops of the U.S. 10th Army on Okinawa 6–8 May. Already begun, Okinawa was the climax of America's amphibious sweep across the Pacific Ocean.

Departing Okinawa 15 May 1945 Granville delivered casualties to San Francisco 10 June via Ulithi, Guam and Pearl Harbor. Clearing San Francisco 26 June she called again at Okinawa with more troops. Granville departed Okinawa 23 August and loaded occupation troops at Lingayen Gulf 10–20 September 1945. Putting her troops ashore at Wakayama, Japan, 25 September she called at Mindanao, Philippine Islands, 9–14 October to embark 1,447 troops of the 2d Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment. Granville sailed from Mindanao 15 October and landed her troops at Matsuyama 21–24 October 1945; part of the U.S. 5th Fleet landing of the U.S. X Corps (Central Occupation Group), U.S. 6th Army in Kyūshū and western Honshū.

Departing Matsuyama, Japan 28 October 1945, Granville was assigned to the "Operation Magic Carpet" fleet carrying veteran troops to the United States from the Solomons, New Guinea, Admiralties, New Hebrides, and New Caledonia. She returned to San Francisco from her last voyage 25 January 1946, sailed from San Francisco 15 February and reached Norfolk, Virginia, 9 March 1946 via the Panama Canal Zone.

Decommissioning and fate
Granville decommissioned there 10 May 1946. She was returned to the Maritime Commission the next day and her name stricken from the Navy List 21 May 1946. Placed in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, she was berthed in James River, Virginia. She was sold for scrapping in 1973.

Awards  
Granville earned one battle star for World War II service. Her crew was eligible for the following medals:
 American Campaign Medal
 Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (1)
 World War II Victory Medal
 Navy Occupation Medal (with Asia Clasp)

Meq'ed Ibn H'ddri, also Meq'ed of Hothail Albogoom () was the sheikh of Hothail Albogom from the Adnanite tribe of Hothail. In the mid-19th century, he lived at Abar Alzayddi (Al-zayddi wells, which belonged to H'addri's uncle Mazyad Pasha Ibn Dhumain) to the east of Alnir mountain in Najd. He was considered one of the most prominent knights of the Arabian Peninsula and a well-known owner of Arabian horse studs, including Ma'anagi H'ddri(or Hidrigi), Saklawi H'ddri and Kuhaila H'ddri.

Horses

Ma'anagi H'ddri 
Ibn H'addri captured a horse from Ibn Sbyel in a mid-19th century battle and changed its name from Ma’anagi Sbeyli to Ma’anagi H'ddri. Ma’anagi is from Um Argub or Urkub. Mohamed El Kalabi considered it as one of "Al Khamsa". It is originally from Al A'awajiyat stud, the stud of Rabi`ah Ibn Nizar Ibn Ma'ed. Al A'awajiyat is breed of Prophet Solomon's horse. A famous horse of Ma’anagi H'ddri stud is Darley. Napoleon's horse was Ma’anagi H'ddri.

Darley Arabian 

Darley Arabian was one of three foundation sires of modern thoroughbred horse racing bloodstock. In 95% of modern Thoroughbred racehorses, the Y chromosome can be traced back to this single stallion.

The Darley Arabian sired Flying Childers and was the great-great-grandsire of the stallion Eclipse. The Darley Arabian was the most important sire in the history of the English Thoroughbred.

Eclipse 

Eclipse (1 April 1764 – 26 February 1789) was an outstanding, undefeated 18th-century British thoroughbred. It won 18 races. It died due to colic on 26 February 1789, at age 24; His skeleton is now housed at the Royal Veterinary College.

Saklawi H'ddri 
Saklawi H'ddri stud was attributed to Ibn Hidri originally for Juhail Ibn Jadraan (Saklawi Jadrani). Sheikh Faisal and Sheikh Abdullrahman Ibn Sha'lan had this stud until it was transferred to Italy. More expensive horses today belong to this stud.

Kuhaila H'ddri 
Kuhaila H'ddri stud was attributed to Ibn H'addri.

is a Japanese arcade game that was released by Namco in 1979. It is the sequel to Gee Bee, which was released in the previous year.

Gameplay

The maximum number of players is two, and the two players have to alternate. The control is a rotary analog stick. The main object of the game is to move two paddles that ricochet a ball which flies around and needs to hit the colored bricks above it. When the bricks are cleared out of the side sections, it will turn that same side's pop-bumper into 100 points instead of 10. It is a bonus multiplier to get the ball to light up the word "NAMCO".

Reception and legacy

Bomb Bee was not a success when it was released. According to Matt Barton, the author of the book Vintage Games 2.0, the game did not sell well and likely sold the same amount of machines as Gee Bee, a game that didn't meet sales expectations either. The success of Namco's later release Galaxian, a revolutionary shooting game, is believed to have contributed to its failure. When Galaxian proved successful, Namco offered to bundle Bomb Bee machines with Galaxian to arcade owners in order to clear inventory.

Retrospectively in 1998, Earl Green of AllGame said that outside a few minor differences, Bomb Bee was largely the same as its predecessor. However, he noted that the game's usage of a full-color display, and being among the earliest creations by Toru Iwatani, made the game of historical value. In his blog Before Mario, Erik Voskuel says that Bomb Bee marks the first collaboration between Namco and Nintendo, two developers that would work together on many more titles, making it a historically-significant game. Voskuel also says that Bomb Bee is notable for being the first appearance of a third-party title on a Nintendo console, and being among Iwatani's earliest creations before Pac-Man.

In 1971 he took up speedway, and after riding at Claremont Speedway in 1971/2, rode in the second division in Britain in 1972 for Scunthorpe Saints (now called the Scunthorpe Scorpions). After averaging over five points per match in his debut season, he improved to over 6.5 in 1974, which together with some impressive performances at Leicester Stadium attracted interest from top flight Leicester Lions, who signed him in 1975. He rode for Leicester in the British League and Teesside Tigers in the National League in 1975. During the 1977 season he transferred to Reading Racers, for whom he rode until 1979. when he transferred to Weymouth Wildcats. He retired at the end of the 1979 season.

Underwood rode internationally for Australia against the British Lions in both 1971/2 and 1974/5. He also rode in the Young Australasia team against England in 1974.

Underwood was a carpenter by trade, and also competed in rifle shooting, representing Western Australia in the Air Cadets Rifle Shooting Championship. As a result of his time shooting he is deaf in one ear.

Stauropus alternus, the lobster caterpillar, lobster moth or crab caterpillar, is a moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in the
north-eastern Himalaya, Sri Lanka, Sundaland, the Philippines, Sulawesi and the southern Moluccas. It was described by Francis Walker in 1855.

Taxonomy
The species was separated in the genus Neostauropus by Sergius G. Kiriakoff but there are few differences and most authors treat it as a single genus Stauropus.

Description
In males, the head and thorax are brownish grey. Abdomen is greyish brown with the dorsal tufts on first six segments darker. Forewings are brownish grey with indistinct antemedial and postmedial pale waved lines. The submarginal series have rusty red spots with pale lunules inside them. Hindwings are whitish with the costal and inner areas are brownish. Both wings with a marginal series of pale and reddish-brown lunules. Ventral side is brown. The female is similar to the male but with uniformly brown hindwings. Larva dark reddish brown. A pale dorsal line can be seen. There are grey subdorsal streaks on the fourth and sixth somites. The terminal somite is swollen and carried over the back with two angular processes from the proximity. Anal prolegs are absent. Second and third leg pairs are long.

Ecology
The caterpillars feed on Ricinus, Careya, Cajanus, Cassia, Ougeinia, Pithecellobium and Wagatea species. They are considered a pest on pulses, tea, coffee, rambutan and mango. The caterpillars have long legs and rear up when threatened and are sometimes called crab or lobster caterpillars.

Subspecies
S. alternus alternus
S. alternus brunneus (Sumatra)
S. alternus niasicus (Nias)
S. alternus nephodes (Philippines)
S. alternus melastomatis (Amboina)

George Kingsley Zipf (; January 7, 1902 – September 25, 1950), was an American linguist and philologist who studied statistical occurrences in different languages.

Zipf earned his bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees from Harvard University, although he also studied at the University of Bonn and the University of Berlin. He was chairman of the German department and university lecturer (meaning he could teach any subject he chose) at Harvard University. He worked with Chinese and demographics, and much of his effort can explain properties of the Internet, distribution of income within nations, and many other collections of data.

Zipf's law

He is the eponym of Zipf's law, which states that while only a few words are used very often, many or most are used rarely,

where Pn is the frequency of a word ranked nth and the exponent a is almost 1.  This means that the second item occurs approximately 1/2 as often as the first, and the third item 1/3 as often as the first, and so on. Zipf's discovery of this law in 1935 was one of the first academic studies of word frequency.

Although he originally intended it as a model for linguistics, Zipf later generalized his law to other disciplines. In particular, he observed that the rank vs. frequency distribution of individual incomes in a unified nation approximates this law, and in his 1941 book, "National Unity and Disunity" he theorized that breaks in this "normal curve of income distribution" portend social pressure for change or revolution.

Network Policy and Access Services (NPAS) is a component of Windows Server 2008. It replaces the Internet Authentication Service (IAS) from Windows Server 2003. NPAS helps you safeguard the health and security of a network. The NPAS server role includes Network Policy Server (NPS), Health Registration Authority (HRA), and Host Credential Authorization Protocol (HCAP). In Windows Server 2003, IAS is the Microsoft implementation of a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server. In Windows Server operating systems later than Windows Server 2003, IAS is renamed to NPS.

Overview 
NPS is a role service in Windows Server 2008 which can function as:
 RADIUS server
 RADIUS proxy
 Network Access Protection policy server

Features 
NPSEE enables the use of a heterogeneous set of wireless, switch, remote access, or VPN equipment. One can use NPS with the Routing and Remote Access service, which is available in Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition; and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition.

When a server running NPS is a member of an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain, NPS uses the directory service as its user account database and is part of a single sign-on solution. The same set of credentials is used for network access control (authenticating and authorizing access to a network) and to log on to an AD DS domain.

Western Guo () was a vassal state in China during the Zhou Dynasty. "Guo" was a kinship group that held at least five pieces of territory within the Zhou realm at various times.

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty in 1046 BCE, his uncle Guo Shu received grants of land at Yong. The rulers of Western Guo held administrative positions in the court of the Zhou Kings through successive generations. A branch of Western Guo later founded Eastern Guo.

Due to harassment and invasion by the Quanrong tribes Western Guo moved eastwards, eventually migrating to Sanmenxia in the Yellow River valley between Xi'an and Luoyang. A new capital was built at Shangyang (上阳) straddling both banks of the Yellow River. Shangyang was called "Southern Guo" (南虢) and Xiayang (下阳) "Northern Guo" (北虢). Later chronicles often became confused with the relationships among the various Guo's, but archaeological discoveries support the view that Northern and Southern Guo were both parts of Western Guo.

In 655 BCE Western Guo was destroyed by the Duke Xian of Jin. (Jin first asked permission of the state of Yu to pass through its territory. After conquering Guo it conquered Yu. This was one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems). The Guo leader Guo Gong Chou fled to the Zhou capital Luoyang along with some of the Guo nobility. Some time later they arrived in the State of Wen at the home of Guo Gong Chou's father in law. Afterwards some of the nobility along with a number of civilians were captured by the Jin Army and taken to the area of what is now Fenyang, Shanxi Province where they became a prominent family with the name Guo. The remainder of the group either settled down in the locality or fled elsewhere.

At the same time, people in Western Guo, with the help of the Qiang people, were attempting to build a new state amongst the ruins of the old one, known historically as Xiao Guo (小虢). This was the last in a total of five states called Guo.

In 687 BCE, during the Spring and Autumn period, the State of Qin wiped out Xiao Guo.
