Tomaso Albinoni

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (8 June 1671 – 17 January 1751) was a Venetian composer. He wrote operas and instrumental music. He is best remembered as the composer of a work called "Adagio in G Minor". Albinoni did not actually write the Adagio.

Life
Albinoni was born in Venice, Republic of Venice. His father, Antonio Albinoni, ran a business which sold stationery and playing cards. He learned to play the violin and to sing. It is not known who his teachers are. His first opera, Zenobia, regina de Palmireni, was produced in Venice in 1694.

In 1705, he married Margherita Rimondi, a soprano singer. 

He became famous and he performed his operas in many Italian cities, including Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Mantua, Udine, Piacenza, and Naples. He also wrote and published instrumental music during this time.

Unlike other composers at that time, Albinoni did not try to find a job in a church or a court. He remained an independent composer and published music on his own.

He retired from writing music after 1741, and died in Venice in 1751.

Music
Most of his operas are lost. This is because Albinoni did not publish his operas during his life. His instrumental music has survived. Nine collections of instrumental music were published. Because of this, he is better known for writing instrumental music today. He is the first Italian composer to publish an oboe concerto. 

He was known by Johann Sebastian Bach, who wrote at least two fugues based on themes by Albinoni.

Half-Life: Opposing Force

Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion pack for the game Half-Life. The game was developed by Gearbox Software and Valve and published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows in 1999. Opposing Force was the first expansion for Half-Life and was announced in April 1999. Lead designer Randy Pitchford believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve, the creators of Half-Life, wanted to focus on their future games.

Opposing Force returns to the same setting as Half-Life, but instead portrays the events from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original game. The player character, Adrian Shephard, is sent in to neutralize the Black Mesa Research Facility when a incident causes it to be invaded by aliens, but quickly finds that the Marines are outnumbered by enemies.

Megaron

The megaron (, , plural megara) is the rectangular great hall in Mycenaean and ancient Greek palace architecture. The hall was: 1) surrounded by four columns, 2) had an open portico with two columns in the front, and 3) had a central, open hearth venting through an oculus, or opening, in the roof. 

The megaron also had the throne-room of the wanax, or Mycenaean Greek ruler, whose throne was in the main room with the central hearth. Similar architecture is found in the Near East but the open portico supported by columns is particular to the Aegean region. Megara are sometimes called "long-rooms" because of their rectangular shape and the position of their entrances. There were often many rooms around the central megaron, such as archive rooms, offices, oil-press rooms, workshops, potteries, shrines, corridors, armories, and rooms storing wine, oil and wheat.

The megaron was used for sacrifices, royal events, and court meetings.

Structure
Halls in the shape of rectangles were a defining theme of Greek architecture. The Mycenaean megaron originated from the megaroid, or large hall-centered rectangular building, of Greece dating back to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Also, it was the architectural forerunner to ancient Greek temples. The megaron's structural layout included a columned entrance, a pronaos, a central naos (or cella), and one of many roof types (i.e., pitched, flat, barrel). The roof was supported by wooden beams. The floor was made of patterned concrete and covered in carpet. The walls were built with bricks of mud, and were decorated with frescoes. There were metal doors often having two-leaved wood decorations. Footbaths were also used in the megaron as mentioned in Homer's Odyssey where Odysseus's feet were washed by Eurycleia. The dimensions involving a larger length than width are similar structurally to the early temples of the Dorian Greeks.

Examples
A famous megaron is in the king's large reception hall in the Bronze Age palace of Tiryns where the main room had a raised throne placed against the right wall and a central hearth bordered by four Minoan-style wooden columns supporting the roof. The Cretan elements in the megaron of Tiryns were adopted by the Mycenaean Greeks from Minoan palace architecture. Frescoes from Pylos show people eating and drinking, which were important activities in Greek culture. Artistic images of bulls, a common animal motif in Mycenaean vase painting, appear on Greek megaron frescoes such as the one in the Pylos megaron where a bull is shown at the center of a Mycenaean procession. Other famous megara include the ones at the Mycenaean palaces of Thebes and Mycenae. Different Greek cultures had their own megara where, for example, the Greeks of the mainland separated their central megaron from the other rooms whereas the Greeks of Crete did not do this.

Johann Joachim Quantz

Johann Joachim Quantz (30 January 1697 – 12 July 1773) was a German composer, flautist (somebody who plays the flute) and flute maker in the late Baroque period. He was the flutist for Frederick the Great.

Life
Quantz was born in Oberscheden, near Göttingen, in the Electorate of Hanover. His father, Andreas Quantz, was a blacksmith who died when Quantz was not yet 11. From 1708 to 1713, Quantz studied music with his uncle Justus Quantz, a town musician in Merseburg. After his uncle died, he studied with the organist Friedrich Kiesewetter. After 1714, he focused on studying composition and studied the music of other composers. 

In 1716 he joined the town band in Dresden. He studied counterpoint with Jan Dismas Zelenka in Vienna in 1717. In March 1718 he became an oboist (somebody who plays the oboe) in the Polish chapel of August II, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Quantz realized that he could not improve his career by playing the oboe, so he started playing the flute. In 1719, he studied playing the flute briefly with Pierre-Gabriel Buffardin. He became good friends with Johann Georg Pisendel, concertmaster (the principal violin player of an orchestra) of the Royal Orchestra. Pisendel's style influenced Quantz' own style greatly. 

From 1724 to 1727, Quantz went on a trip around Erope. During this trip, he met and studied with many important musicians, including Francesco Gasparini in Rome, Alessandro Scarlatti in Naples, Michel Blavet in Paris, and George Frideric Handel in London. He returned to Dresden in July 1727. The trip made him famous around Europe.

In 1728, Quantz visitied Berlin with August II. In Berlin, he met Crown Prince Frederick. He returned to Berlin two times a year to teach Prince Frederick the flute. When August II died, Quantz stayed in Dresden until Frederick became King of Prussia. Quantz then moved to Berlin, and stayed there for the rest of his life.

Music
Quantz did not publish a lot of his music during his life. He wrote concertos, trio sonatas, and other works for the flute.

Writing
Quantz wrote On Playing the Flute in 1752. It describes how people played music and the flute in the baroque period.

Commodore MAX Machine

The Commodore MAX Machine, also known as Ultimax in the United States and Canada and VC-10 in Germany, is a home computer made by Commodore International. It came out in Japan in early 1982 as the Commodore 64's predecessor. Commodore may have wanted to sell it outside of Japan, as its name was in the Commodore 64 manual. It was first shown in Tokyo, and as Commodore VICKEY. It is rare, selling much less than the Commodore 64 and being discontinued in the same year.

Hardware
Software came on ROM cartridges. It has a membrane keyboard, 2 KiB of RAM and 0.5 KiB of color RAM (1024 × 4 bits). A television is used as a display. The Commodore 64 has the same chipset, 6510 CPU and SID sound chip, and has a compatibility mode, which was often used for "freezer" cartridges, such as the Action Replay, to easily allow control of the running program. Tape drives (for storage) worked, but not disk drives, printers or modems due to not having the right serial and user ports.

Business
It was going to cost about 200 USD. It had better graphics and sound, but Commodore's own VIC-20 was much more popular. It was costing about the same and with much more expandability and software titles. It also had a better keyboard.

Grotte Mandrin

The Grotte Mandrin is a cave near Montélimar. It is located near the small French town Malaverne, in the Drôme department. It is more like a shelter, that protects from the weather, and not really a cave. It is an archeological site: There are many well-preserved well-preserved finds from the transition from the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic . The oldest layer of finds is 120,000 years old.  

It is named after the French folk hero Louis Mandrin .

Location 
The Abri, is around 2.5 m km southeast of Malataverne town center at the foot of an exposed limestone cliff at 245 m height .  At the site, the valley is very narrow, only about  . Important traffic routes pass thougfh there: the  A7, N7, D169 and the high-speed line LGV Méditerranée .

Topography 
Today, the Grotte Mandrin has a depth of . At some point part of it collapsed. Today,  large boulders on the slope below are still there. The covered area was originally much larger. There is an opening of about  facing north. At the front, the cave has a height of about . From the middle of the cave, it gets lower, at the back, the height is about  less. 

In 2013, a fence was built on the space in front of the case, in 2016, video surveillance was installed.

History 
When he found traces Bronze Age settlements there in 1960,  Gaston Etienne (1923-2010) recognized that the case was important for archaeology.  Etienne was a councillor in Malaverne. Since 1993, there have been excavations each year. Since 2006, Ludovic Slimak - a research associate from the University of Toulouse and the CNRS is overseeing these excavations. There are twelve cultural layers at the site, In 2014, seven layers had been excavated. The layers date from 42.000 BP (called early Aurigacien) to 56.000 BP(La Quina-Mousterian) . 

The oldest known evidence that anatomically-modern humans (homo sapies) were present in Europe was found in the  Batcho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria; this evidence is 45,820 to 43,650 years (Cal BP) old.  In February 2022, it was announced that part of a tooth was found at the Mandrin Cave. It came from a layer of the Mandrin Cave under and over which Neanderthal remains have been recovered, but this "baby tooth" has been attributed to a child of Homo sapiens .  Articles in the Journals Science, as well as in Nature, said that the tooth was too badly damaged to be able to tell with certainity if it was from a Neanderthal, or a human.
