NC-SI, abbreviated from network controller sideband interface, is an electrical interface and protocol defined by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). The NC-SI enables the connection of a baseboard management controller (BMC) to one or more network interface controllers (NICs) in a server computer system for the purpose of enabling out-of-band system management. This allows the BMC to use the network connections of the NIC ports for the management traffic, in addition to the regular host traffic.

The NC-SI defines a control communication protocol between the BMC and NICs.  The NC-SI is supported over several transports and physical interfaces.

Hardware interface 
The RMII-based transport (RBT) interface defined by NC-SI is based on the RMII specification with some modifications that allow connection of multiple network controllers to a single BMC. The NC-SI can also operate over a variety of other electrical interfaces, including SMBus and PCI Express when used over the Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP). 

The table below sums up the signals comprising the RBT interface.

Traffic types 
The NC-SI defines two fundamental types of traffic, pass-through and control traffic. Pass-through traffic consists of data exchanged between the BMC and the network via the NC-SI interface. Control traffic is used to inventory and configure aspects of NIC operation and control the NC-SI interface. 

Control traffic is broken down into three sub-types:
 Commands, sent from the BMC to one of the NICs
 Responses, sent by the NICs as results of the commands
 Asynchronous event notifications (AENs), sent asynchronously by the NICs and equivalently to interrupts, upon the occurrence of the specified event

When the NC-SI is used over RBT, standard Ethernet framing is used for all traffic types.  Control traffic is identified by using an EtherType of 0x88F8. When the NC-SI is used in conjunction with MCTP, MCTP provides the packetization methodology and traffic type identification.

The Eurasian Schools Debating Championships (ESDC) is an annual open English-language debating tournament for high school-level teams representing different countries. ESDC is open to national and school teams alike, depending on team cap.

The first edition was hosted by the Robert College Debate Society in Istanbul with 50 teams from 20 different countries.

Format

Eurasian Schools Debating Championship debates use a special format known as 'World Schools Style Debating' as most of the teams esteem the tournament as a preparation for WSDC. World Schools Style is a combination of the British Parliamentary and Australian formats. In each debate there are eight speeches delivered by two three-member teams (the Proposition and the Opposition). Each speaker delivers an eight-minute speech; then both teams deliver a "reply speech" lasting four minutes, with the last word being reserved for the Proposition. Between the end of the first and the beginning of the last minute of an eight-minute speech, the opposing party may offer "points of information". The speaker may refuse these, but should take at least one or two points during his or her speech.

Teams in ESDC debate eight rounds before "breaking" into octo-finals. After first round, teams are paired with each other with power pairing. Team with the same number of wins play against each other. If there are more than one teams on the same point, then teams are paired randomly. Top sixteen teams with highest number of wins and speaker points advance into single elimination octo-finals.

The Eurasian Schools Debating Council

During the inaugural ESDC, teams participating decided to form Eurasian Schools Debating Council which will govern the championships in a democratic manner. The formation of the charter is still in process.

Principles of the Eurasian Schools Debating Championships

Openness: ESDC will remain open to all teams of any formation as long as the space allows
Flexibility: ESDC will seek to govern itself in a non-bureaucratic way
Innovation: ESDC will seek to try novel ideas in debating

Past championships

Future championships

The 14th annual Eurasian Schools Debating Championship will be held in 2024.

The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) (, commonly known as Zhongtong, ), was an intelligence unit under the Organisation Department of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang. It was one of Chiang Kai-shek's two police and military intelligence agencies, the other being the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics headed by Dai Li from 1929 until his death in 1946. The CBIS focused on civilian intelligence, while the MBIS targeted military activities.

The CBIS bureau was largely superseded by the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau in Taiwan after 1949.

History 
The previous body of CBIS had its origin in the CC Clique, which was founded in 1927 as a secret spying agency.

In 1931, Chen Lifu was appointed the head of the Kuomintang's Organization Department and he set up the intelligence unit.

In 1935, this intelligence body was re-organized as the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

Ali Shah Miri (Kashmiri: علی شاہ میری) also known as Ali Shah (علی شاہ) was the Sultan of Kashmir from 1413 to 1418 and then again from 1419 to 1420. Ali Shah belonged to the Shah Mir dynasty and was succeeded by his younger brother Zain-ul-Abidin.

Reign 
After Sikandar's death, his eldest son Mir succeeded him as the Sultan, having adopted the title of Ali Shah.

Ali Shah became the seventh sultan of the Shah Mir dynasty, and reigned between 1413 and 1420. His reign was peaceful. Under Ali Shah's regime, Suhabhatta became the Prime Minister.

Ali Shah was defeated by Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin at Thanna with the help of Jasrath Khokhar, a chieftain from Pothohar Plateau. The fate of Ali Shah is uncertain: he may have died in captivity or have been put to death by Khokhar.

Dethronement 
Shahi Khan, a son of Sultan Sikander the  ruler of Kashmir, was charged with the rule of the kingdom of Kashmir when his elder brother, Ali Shah, left the kingdom on a pilgrimage to Mecca. It was at this time that Ali Shah gave Shahi Khan the title of Zain-ul-Abidin. Although a religious man, Ali Shah was weak-willed and his desire to attain Mecca buckled under descriptions of the arduous journey ahead. He abandoned his pilgrimage when he arrived at the court of his father-in-law, the king of Jammu, and raised an army consisting of soldiers from Jammu and Rajauri in order to regain his throne. The ancient texts vary regarding why it was that Zain-ul-Abidin relinquished his recently acquired status without a fight but there is no disagreement that this is in fact what happened.

Struggle for throne and death
Retiring to Sialkot, Zain-ul-Abidin sought the support of its chief, Jasrat Khokhar. Ali Shah became angered when this support was forthcoming and he rashly set out with his army to challenge Khokhar. The forces met at Thanna and Khokhar defeated the challenger, who had ignored the advice of his father-in-law to hold back until the Jammu army could join him. Zain-ul-Abidin was then able to return to the capital city of Srinagar, where he was welcomed by his subjects. The fate of Ali Shah is uncertain: he may have died in captivity or have been put to death by Khokhar.

Marvel Keith Harshman (October 4, 1917 – April 12, 2013) was a college basketball coach, a head coach for forty years in the state of Washington at Pacific Lutheran University, Washington State University, and the University of Washington.

Early years
Born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Harshman moved to the Pacific Northwest as a child and graduated from Lake Stevens High School in Lake Stevens, Washington, north of Seattle. He attended Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland, where he lettered thirteen times in four sports and graduated in 1942. Harshman served three years in the U.S. Navy during World War II, then returned to PLU to coach.  he was selected by the Chicago Cardinals in the fifteenth round (134th overall) of the 1942 NFL Draft.

Collegiate career
While at his alma mater (1945–58), Harshman was also the head football coach from 1951 to 1957, compiling a  record, and also led the baseball team for the last five seasons. He moved east to Washington State University in Pullman in 1958 to succeed Jack Friel and coached the Cougars for 13 seasons. When Husky head coach Tex Winter left for the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1971, Harshman moved across the state to the University of Washington in Seattle. He compiled a  overall record. Pressured by the university administration to step down, Harshman involuntarily retired from coaching at age 67 in 1985, following consecutive conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances.

Honors
Harshman was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year (1982, 1984) and NABC Coach of the Year for Division I basketball (1984).

Cyfronydd Hall is a Welsh country house located on the A458 road between Welshpool and the hamlet of Cyfronydd, Llanfair Caereinion. It was built in about 1865 for the Pryce Jones family after an earlier hall on the site burned down. It once formed part of the 1,922-acre Cyfronydd Estate.

History

Cyfronydd Hall was sold by Major Hamilton Pryce in 1927 and at that time it had 19 bedrooms and one bathroom. In 1938 it was purchased for £7,250 by  Montgomeryshire County Council for use as a girls' school and remodelled, with the number of bedrooms being reduced to 14 and the number of bathrooms increased to four. The property at that time had  of land. 

In the 1990s the property was bought by an English couple, Jeff and Jean Bowskill, who gradually repaired and improved the property over a ten-year period. They added a swimming pool and a spa and sold the property in 2015 to William Hague and Ffion Hague. The estate now has .

Architecture

Pevsner Architectural Guides describe the present building briefly as follows: "Large square brick house of c. 1865 with vaguely French detail, particularly on the three-storey entrance tower with its chateau roof." Country Life has described the building more enthusiastically as follows:

The building does not appear to be registered by Cadw as a listed building.

Vargulin, also called Cypridinid luciferin, Cypridina luciferin, or Vargula luciferin, is the luciferin found in the ostracod Cypridina hilgendorfii, also named Vargula hilgendorfii. These bottom dwelling ostracods emit a light stream into water when disturbed presumably to deter predation. Vargulin is also used by the midshipman fish, Porichthys.

History 
A partial extraction procedure was developed in 1935 which involved reacting the compound with benzoyl chloride to allow it to be separated from the water-soluble components. The compound was first isolated and purified to crystals by Osamu Shimomura. The structure of the compound was confirmed some years later. Feeding experiments suggest that the compound is synthesized in the animal from three amino-acids: tryptophan, isoleucine, and arginine.

Biochemistry 
Vargulin is oxidized by the Vargula luciferase, a 62 kDa enzyme, to produce blue light at 462 nm (max emission, detected with a 425 to 525 nm filter). 
The vargulin does not cross react with luciferases using coelenterazine or Firefly luciferin.

Uses 
Vargulin (with the associated luciferase) has applications in biotechnology:
 in a variety of assays, to report gene or gene expression after luciferase have been genetically introduced in cells,
 to detect ATP, that is used in the vargulin/luciferase reaction (cell viability assays)

Although less stable, the Cypridina system is useful because can be used in multiplex assays with other (red-emitting) luciferin assays.

Rock Paintings of Mandela Mountains (), also known as Mandela Mountains' Rock Paintings or Rock Paintings Group of Mandela Mountains (曼德拉山岩画群), are images carved into the Mandela Mountains (曼德拉山), covering an area of 18 square kilometers, with over 6,000 paintings.

Rock Paintings of Mandela Mountains, reputed to be the "living fossil of the art world" (美术世界活化石), spans from the Neolithic to Qing dynasty and cover hunting, grazing, sun, moon and stars.

Discovery
In March 1986, the Rock Paintings Group of Mandela Mountains was discovered for the first time in the entire banner cultural relics survey by the Alxa Right Banner Cultural Relics Management Institute (阿拉善右旗文物管理所).

Creation periods
The creation period of Mandela Mountains' Rock Paintings can be divided into five periods, namely, the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Northern dynasty to Tang dynasty, Western Xia, and Yuan dynasty, Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty.

Conservations
Rock Paintings of Mandela Mountains was included in the list of cultural relics protection of Alashan League in 1987 and was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit in Inner Mongolia in 1996. In 2013, it was included in the seventh batch of the list of Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level in China.
