Triple J

**Triple J** is a radio station from Australia. It is funded and owned by the Australian Government through the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The music played by the station is aimed at youth (usually between 12 and 25 years old) and is usually alternative music. The station started in 1972 as "Double Jay" in Sydney. It can now be heard all around Australia.

**Triple J** (stylised in all lowercase) is a government-funded, national Australian radio station that began broadcasting in 1975 as a division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). It aims to appeal to young listeners of alternative music, and plays more Australian content than commercial networks.

The station was set up under the Gough Whitlam government, wanting to extend the appeal of the ABC to young Australians. Initially broadcasting as **2JJ** or **Double Jay** from 19 January 1975, it stood apart from commercial stations with its lack of private advertising and its programming of mainly local music often censored or banned elsewhere. Following a transition to FM in 1981, the station rebranded as **2JJJ** or Triple J as it expanded regionally through the 1990s. From 2014, the spin-off digital radio station Double J was launched to appeal to more contemporary audiences. Triple J used to dominate national ratings in the 25–39 demographic, but since 2015 has been losing its audience due to the rise of streaming media.

Common Language Specification

A **Common Language Specification** (**CLS**) is a document that says how computer programs can be turned into Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code. When several languages use the same bytecode, different parts of a program can be written in different languages. Microsoft uses a Common Language Specification for their .NET Framework. To fully interact with other objects regardless of the language they were used in, objects must expose to callers only those features that are common to all the languages they must exchange information with. It was always a dream of Microsoft to unite all different languages under one umbrella and CLS is one step towards that. Microsoft has defined CLS which are nothing but guidelines for languages to follow so that it can communicate with other .NET languages in a seamless manner.

Most of the members defined by types in the .NET Framework class library are able to work with CLS. However, some types in the class library have one or more members that are not able to work with CLS. These members allow support for language features that are not in the CLS.

The CLS was designed to be large enough to include the language constructs that are commonly needed by developers, yet small enough that most languages are able to support it. Any language construct that makes it impossible to quickly confirm the type safety of code was excluded from the CLS so that all languages that can work with CLS can produce verifiable code if they choose to do so.
Cus D'Amato

**Constantine "Cus" D'Amato** (January 17, 1908 – November 4, 1985) was an American boxing trainer. He trained two of boxing heavyweight champions, Mike Tyson and Floyd Patterson.

He once said, "The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters."

## Early Life

Cus D'Amato was born in 1908 in Bronx, New York to an Italian family of immigrants. He was one of eight brothers. In his childhood he wanted to become a boxer like his big brother Jerry. However, at 12 years old he took part in a fight and became blind in one eye.

## Career

D'Amato's love for boxing was so strong that the sport became a very important part of his life. He trained three champions although he never boxed himself.

## Death

He died in 1985 (age 77) after an inflammation of the lungs.
Willi Auerswald

**Willi Auerswald** (1894–1956) was a member of the German SS in the rank of a SS-Oberscharführer. Auerswald belonged to the guards of the Mauthausen Concentration camp. Between spring 1942 and November 1944 he was one of the leaders of the subcamp Steyr-Münichholz.

Auerswald was feared by the prisoners due to his brutality. Executions and brutal punishments made him one of the most terrible guards at Mauthausen.

After the end of World War II Auerswald was charged by an US-military tribunal in Dachau. The trial document lists a case where a Russian prisoner, begging for his life, was pushed by Auerswald into a fence secured by high voltage. He died immediately. The documentation also mentioned that 300 healthy prisoners were brought from Mauthausen to the sub-camp St. Aegyd. More than 50% died within the next few weeks or became severely sick so that they were brought back to Mauthausen where they died. Auerswald was the head of the St. Aegyd sub-camp at that time.

Auerswald was found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. Later it was changed to life imprisonment.

Alpaca

The **Alpaca** (_Vicugna pacos_) is one of the four species of South American camelid, and they are domesticated. It resembles a small llama in superficial appearance. Alpacas are bred for their fiber while Llamas are used to carry burdens.

## Diet

They usually eat hay or grasses, but they actually try to chew most things, even an empty bottle. However, there are many plants that are poisonous to an Alpaca.

## Reproduction

The Alpaca takes about 355 days until the babies are born (11-12 months). They may live up to 20 years (up to 25 years in a zoo). They are as much as 3 or 4 times the opportunity to be mowed fiber in their life. There they live together with Sheep and pygmy goats.
They were selectively bred for household goods like clothes, because they have such good wool. Since the wool made from alpaca is very warm, the wool is popular in the world.

## Domestication

About 5,000 to 6,000 years ago the natives began the domestication of the vicuna into the present day alpaca as a fiber producing animal. Alpaca are also commonly used as herd guardians. Two or more guardians are sent to live in a paddock of sheep, goats or chickens, where it is their job to chase away foxes and other predators.

## Types

There are two main types of alpacas, the huacaya and the suri (sometimes spelled suriya depending on where you are). The main difference between the two is price and appearance. Huacayas are more common which makes them cheaper to buy. They are also easier to take care of because their coats require less maintenance. Suris are more expensive due to their rarity and the fact that their wool can be sold for more because it is more luxurious and thicker. Their coats require more daily maintenance.

## Commercial Use

There are many commercial uses for Alpaca fiber. Primarily, it is used for clothing. It can be used as either baby alpaca, which is the first shear of an alpaca, or plain alpaca, which comes from subsequent shears. The fabric has very specific care criteria and must be hand-washed in cold water and left to dry naturally away from heat.

**Guy Rupert Berryman** (born 12 April 1978) is a Scottish guitarist. He is a member of the rock band Coldplay. He is known as the bass guitarist for the band and is left-handed but plays with his right hand.
Mennonites

The **Mennonites** are a group of  Christian Anabaptists named after Menno Simons (1496–1561). His teachings were a relatively minor influence on the group, though.  They are of the historic _peace churches_. Mennonites are committed to nonviolence, nonviolent resistance/reconciliation, and pacifism.

There are about 1.5 million Mennonites worldwide as of 2006. There are many different types of mennonite communities in the world. There are those that dress in old-fashioned ways, and others which are hard to tell apart from other people leading a modern lifestyle. Most Mennonites are in the United States and Democratic Republic of Congo, but Mennonites can also be found in tight-knit communities in at least 51 countries on six continents or scattered amongst the populace of those countries.

Mennonites have an international distinction among Christian denominations in disaster relief. They also place a strong theological emphasis on voluntary service. Mennonite Disaster Service, based in North America, provides both immediate and long-term responses to hurricanes, floods, and other disasters. Mennonite Central Committee provides disaster relief around the world alongside their long-term international development programs. Other programs offer a variety of relief efforts and services throughout the world.

In the last few decades some Mennonite groups have also become more actively involved with peace and social justice issues, helping to found Christian Peacemaker Teams and Mennonite Conciliation Service.

Anabaptist

**Anabaptists** are Protestant Christians. The word "Anabaptism" comes from a Greek word meaning "to baptize again". Anabaptism holds that people should be baptized after they are believers, which is called called believer's baptism, and opposes infant baptism. Infants, according to the Anabaptists' doctrine, cannnot be validly baptized, as they cannot decide how they want to achieve salvation.

Anabaptistm arose as part of the radical wing of the Reformation in 16th-century Europe. The best-known Anabaptists are the Mennonites, the Amish, and the Hutterites.

## Beliefs and practices

Anabaptists insist on believer’s baptism, the baptism of people who personally repent and believe in Jesus Christ. They reject infant baptism and so rebaptize those who had infant baptism. Anabaptists also practiced a simple form of church government, based on community discipline, nonviolence, the sharing of goods, opposition to oaths or military service, and the living out of Jesus' teachings such as loving enemies. Their beliefs were written down in the Schleitheim Confession (1527), which listed seven basic rules: believer’s baptism, church discipline, communion, nonresistance, opposition to oaths, separation from evil, and the careful choice of church leaders.

## History

Anabaptistm started in Zürich, Switzerland, on 21 January 1525, when Conrad Grebel baptized George Blaurock and then others. The movement spread to Tyrol, Germany, Moravia, the Netherlands, and Belgium. A radical branch led to the Münster Rebellion (1534–1535) in which Anabaptists briefly took control of the German city, set up a communal government, and enforced polygamy until the city was recaptured and the leaders were executed.

After the rebellion, most Anabaptists rejected violence. Leadership emerged from groups such as the Swiss Brethren, the Hutterites, and the Mennonites (followers of Menno Simons).

### Persecution and migration

Anabaptistts faced intense persecution from both Catholic and Protestant authorities. They were tortured, drowned, burned, or otherwise killed for rejecting infant baptism, oaths, and military service. Thousands died between 1525 and 1660. Many Anabaptist members of groups like the Amish, the Mennonites, and the Hutterites fled Europ and emigrated to North America.

## Legacy and modern groups

Today, Anabaptist traditions include the Mennonites, the Amish, and the Hutterites, as well as smaller groups like the Schwarzenau Brethren and River Brethren. Their legacy lives on in their beliefs in believer’s baptism, nonviolence, community life, and the following of Jesus in daily life. Anabaptist communities now number over a million worldwide, but only a few are still in Europe.
Hutterites

**Hutterites** are a group of Protestant Christians. They are an anabaptist movement; they think believers should be baptized (as adults). Their movement was founded by Jacob Hutter who lived in the 16th century. The main difference to the Mennonites is that they think the Bible should be read literally. They also share everything they have; there is no private property. Within the Hutterites, there are a few different groups. Some of the groups are more liberal than others. Usually, the different groups also have different leaders.

Today, there are about 50.000 Hutterites; most of them live in the Canada and the United States. Like the Amish they still speak a dialect of German. In 2005, there were about 465 settlements, with 60 to 150 people each. The people who emigrated to the US or Canada had one of the following family names: Decker, Entz, Glanzer, Gross, Hofer, Kleinsasser, Knels, Mändel, Stahl, Tschetter, Waldner, Walther, Wipf, Wollmann, or Wurz.

True Image can create an image of a disk while it is running Microsoft Windows or Linux, or offline by booting from CD/DVD, USB flash drives, PXE, or other bootable media.  As a disk imaging solution, True Image can restore the previously captured image to another disk, effectively replicating the structure and contents to the new disk, also allowing partition resizing if the new disk is of different capacity.

## Supported filesystems

File systems supported by software:
- NTFS
- FAT16
- FAT32
- ext2
- ext3
- ReiserFS
- Reiser4
- Linux Swap

In addition to the officially supported filesystems, Acronis True Image also provides raw sector backup and restore options for all other filesystems.  **'Raw**' mode provides support for a file system that is corrupt, or that is not officially supported, by capturing a complete image of all sectors on the disk.  This method results in a larger image file as it is not able to compress, resize, or selectively restore files on the unrecognized filesystem.

Saint Joseph

**Joseph** (; ) is a figure in the Gospels, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus and the step father of Jesus. In Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Anglican Christian traditions, he is regarded as **Saint Joseph**.

## In the Bible

The Gospel of Luke says that the angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her that she would give birth to a Son and she should call him Jesus and that he would save people from their sins.

When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he decided to privately break the engagement. But then he had a dream. An angel told him that the baby was the Son of God.

At this time, the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, made a law that everyone in the Roman Empire must pay tax. Everyone had to go back to the town that their family came from, to have their name put on the tax lists. Joseph came from Bethlehem, which was called "The City of David". Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem and she gave birth to the baby, Jesus, in a stable, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Oneness Pentecostalism

**Oneness Pentecostalism**, also known as **Apostolic Pentecostalism**, is a movement of Christianity that split from the Pentecostal movement, around 1914. Its followers believe that the Bible was inspired by God.

"Oneness" means that they believe that God is one being, not three persons (like in the doctrine of the Trinity) and that Jesus is God in human flesh and is both fully god and fully human. That makes them different from most Unitarians, who say that the Son of God was only man.

"Apostolic" means that they follow the Apostolic doctrine (by the Twelve Apostles in the early Christian Church).

"Pentecostal" means that they put an emphasis on the moving of the Holy Spirit, like speaking in tongues, as was done on Pentecost.

Sara Evans

**Sara Evans** (born February 5, 1971) is a traditional country singer born in Boonville, Missouri. She has had several #1 hits, gold albums and platinum albums.

## Early life

Music was a big part of her life when she was young. At age 8, she was hit by a car in front of her house and broke both of her legs. She spent months in a wheelchair and kept singing to pay her hospital bills.

At age 16, she began performing in a nightclub in Columbia, Missouri. She did this for two years. At age 20, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee because she wanted to be a country music singer. She met musician Craig Schelske there. A year later, they moved to Oregon, but when they married, they moved back to Nashville.

In 1995, Sara began recording demos. Harland Howard was impressed by them so much he decided to help her get a contract. This paid off when she signed with RCA Records.

Her first album under RCA was called _Three Chords and the Truth_, released in 1997. People liked it for being traditional, and it was in many Top 10 lists for that year.

However, country music radio didn't like it that much. None of the singles made the Top 40.

In 1998, Sara released her next album, _No Place That Far_. People didn't like it because it was more of a pop-country sound. The first single Cryin' Game didn't do anything, but the next single (No Place That Far, a duet with Vince Gill) became a #1 hit. Because of that the album was certified gold.

Georg Cantor

**Georg Cantor** (3 March 1845 - 6 January 1918) was an important German mathematician.  He founded set theory, cardinal number and worked on transfinite numbers.

## Life

Cantor was born in St Petersburg, Russia. His father had a Jewish-Danish, his mother an Austrian background. His father was a Protestant. He was a rich merchant. His mother was a Roman Catholic. She was very artistic. When his father became ill in 1856 the family moved to Frankfurt. Georg went to private schools and then to gymnasien in Darmstadt and Wiesbaden.  He soon showed that he was brilliant at maths.  His father wanted him to be an engineer but Georg persuaded him to let him study mathematics.  He spent a short time studying at the University of Zürich, but soon went to Berlin where he studied physics, philosophy and mathematics.  He was very influenced by the teaching of Weierstrass, Kummer and Kronecker, who were later to become his enemies.  He wrote a doctoral thesis in which he said that asking questions was more important than finding the answers.  He was talking about a problem that Carl Friedrich Gauss had left unanswered.

Cantor taught for a time at a girls’ school in Berlin,  then he became a lecturer in Halle where he remained for the rest of his life.  He became full professor there in 1879.  Cantor worked on the theory of numbers, continuum hypothesis and then on trigonometric series, starting with ideas that had been developed by Bernhard Riemann on complex variables.  He sent a paper on algebraic numbers to be published in Crelle's Journal, but Kronecker was against it.  However, Dedekind supported Cantor, and eventually the article was published.  This article showed that Cantor was a great mathematician.

When his father died in 1863 he had enough money to build a house for his wife and five children.

Cantor thought that infinite numbers really existed, and used ideas from ancient and medieval philosophy to prove his point.  Kronecker disagreed with him.  He thought that only integers existed.  Kronecker said that “God made integers and all the rest is the work of man”.  Kronecker stopped Cantor from being offered a professorship in Berlin, a position he ought to have had since he was one of the greatest mathematicians in the world.  Cantor stayed at Halle and continued to work into his old age, although he often suffered from fits of depression.  He often lost his temper, but he was also a very kind man.  He always gave encouragement to young mathematicians with new ideas.  He did not want them to suffer like he had because of older mathematicians who felt threatened by new ideas.  A lot of Cantor’s work led eventually to what is called “new mathematics” in schools today.

Cantor died in a mental hospital in Halle on 6 January 1918.

Pay-per-view

**Pay-per-view** (often abbreviated **PPV**) is a way that people can pay to watch events on television in their homes. The event is shown at the same time to everyone ordering it. This is different than video on demand systems which lets people see the event at any time. Common events include movies, sporting events, and pornographic movies.

In 1985, the first U.S. cable channels to show only pay-per-view, _Viewers Choice_, _Cable Video Store_, and _Request TV_ began operation within days of each other. Viewers Choice was available to both home satellite dish and cable customers. Request TV was available to only cable viewers at first. Dish owners could not use it until the 1990s.

The term "pay-per-view" became more well known in the 1990s when companies like iN DEMAND, HBO, and Showtime started using it to show movies and other things.

Pay-per-view is also a very important way for professional wrestling companies like WWE, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA),  Ring of Honor (ROH) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to earn money.

## Early History (Americas)

The first pay-per-view system tested in the United states was the Zenith Phonevision system.  In 1949, it used telephone lines to take and receive orders. The telephone lines were also used to descramble the signal on the television.  Tests were run for 90 days in Chicago.  In 1950, Skiatron tested its system on WOR in New York City.  The system used IBM punch cards to descramble the signal.  Both systems showed that they could be used but were not allowed to be used by the FCC.

One of the first pay-per-view systems on cable was the Optical Systems. It was first used in 1972 in San Diego. These early systems quickly went out of business, as the cable industry started using satellite technology. This caused systems, for example Home Box Office, to became popular.

## History (Europe)

Pay-per-view was first used in the United Kingdom with the use of satellite television and cable systems.

## History (Australia, NZ & Pacific Islands)

Pay-per-view was first used by Foxtel to home television in Australia and New Zealand in the early 2000s. Sky Pacific in Fiji and other Pacific Island Nations started using it in 2006.

Roland Garros

**Roland Garros** (6 October 1888 – 5 October 1918) was a French aviator and fighter pilot during the World War I.

## Biography

Garros was born in Saint-Denis, Réunion and studied at HEC Paris. He began his flying career in 1909 flying the Santos-Dumont monoplane, a plane that only flew well when flown by a lightweight pilot. In 1911, Garros completed his studies and flew the Bleriot monoplane, participating in various races in Europe. He was a distinguished pilot before the World War I broke out; in 1913 he changed aircraft, flying the Morane-Saulnier N, a significant improvement over the Blériot, and became famous for a non-stop flight across the Mediterranean from Fréjus in southern France to Bizerte in Tunisia. The following year, Garros joined the French army when World War I broke out.

Dhaka District

**Dacca District** () is a district in the centre of Bangladesh. The district is part of the Dhaka Division, more than half of the district is made up of Dacca - the capital of the district and of Bangladesh too.

## History

Dhaka has a very old history, the city area of Dhaka was ruled by the Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms century.

After the Sena dynasty, Dhaka was ruled first by the Turkish and the Afghan governors from the Delhi Sultanate before the arrival of the Mughals in 1608.

During the rule of the Mughal the district was famous for its textile products - especially the Muslin. The Mughal governor Islam Khan was the first administrator of the city. Khan named the town "Jahangir Nagar" (_City of Jahangir_) in honour of the Mughal emperor Jahangir, although this name was dropped soon after Jahangir's death.

The city grew in size quite a lot under Mughal general Shaista Khan. The city then measured 19 by 13 kilometres (12 by 8 mi), with almost a million people. The city then passed to the control of the British East India Company in 1765 after the Battle of Plassey. The number of people in the city fell very much as the prominence of Kolkata rose, but development eventually followed. A modern civic water supply system was introduced in 1874 and electricity supply launched in 1878. The Dhaka Cantonment was established near the city, serving as a base for British and Indian soldiers.
