Mikhail Tal 
 Mikhail Tal, known as Mischa, (Riga, 9 November 1936 – Moscow, 28 June 1992) was a Soviet–Latvian chess player, a Grandmaster, and the eighth World Chess Champion.
Mikhail Tal 
 He holds the records for both the first and second longest unbeaten streaks in competitive chess history.p43 Many authorities consider him to have been the greatest attacking player of all time.
Mikhail Tal 
 In the Candidates he finished first, with 20/28 points, ahead of Paul Keres with 18.5, followed by Tigran Petrosian, Vasily Smyslov, Bobby Fischer, Svetozar Gligorić, Friðrik Ólafsson, and Pal Benko.
Mikhail Tal 
 Tal he won all four individual games against Fischer, and took 3½ points out of 4 from each of Gligorić, Olafsson, and Benko.
Mikhail Tal 
 In 1960, at the age of 23, Tal defeated Mikhail Botvinnik in the Moscow World Championship match, by 12.5–8.5 (six wins, two losses, and thirteen draws).
Mikhail Tal 
 Botvinnik, who had never faced Tal before, won the return match against Tal in 1961 by 13–8 (ten wins to five, with six draws).
Mikhail Tal 
 Between the matches Botvinnik thoroughly analyzed Tal's style, and turned most of the return match's games into close manoeuvres and endgames, rather than the complicated tactical melées which were Tal's preference.
Mikhail Tal 
 Tal's short reign atop the chess world made him one of the two so-called 'winter kings' who interrupted Botvinnik's long reign from 1948 to 1963 (the other was Smyslov, world champion 1957–1958).
Mikhail Tal 
 Tal played in a total of six Candidates' tournaments and match cycles, though he never again earned the right to play for the world title.
Mikhail Tal 
 In 1962 at Curaçao, he had serious health problems, having undergone a major operation shortly before the tournament, and had to withdraw three-quarters of the way through, scoring just seven points (+3 -10 =8) from 21 games.
Mikhail Tal 
 Tal was an alcoholic, and a chain smoker.p409 At 23 he had a diseased kidney, and his health became uncertain.
Mikhail Tal 
 From July 1972 to April 1973, Tal played 86 consecutive games without a loss (47 wins and 39 draws).
Mikhail Tal 
 Between 23 October 1973 and 16 October 1974, he played 95 consecutive games without a loss (46 wins and 49 draws), shattering his previous record.
Mikhail Tal 
 These remained the two longest unbeaten streaks in modern chess history for over three decades, and the longest by a top-flight player until Magnus Carlsen's 111+ game streak in 2019-2020.
Mikhail Tal 
 Tal was a charming and brilliant man, who was always willing to talk about chess with players of all standards.
Mikhail Tal 
 Tal staggered away from the board, and returned with shaking hands, and unable to light a cigarette.
Mikhail Tal 
 Robert James Fischer vs Mikhail Tal, Belgrade, Candidates' Tournament 1959, Sicilian Defence, Fischer–Sozin Variation (B87), 0–1 In 1959, Bobby Fischer was too inexperienced to meet Tal with success.

Game port 
 In most relevant hardware designs for personal computers in 2010, the port is an integrated component on the sound card, another I/O card, or the motherboard itself.
Game port 
 Starting with Windows Vista Microsoft no longer supports this port with drivers from the Operating System, but third party drivers are still available.
Game port 
 This means that signal first needs to be changed to digital form, a task which is usually done by an analog-to-digital converter.
Game port 
 The game port has a 15-pin DSUB interface, most home computers that used digital joysticks had a 9-pin one.
Game port 
 Analog signals are much harder to use, they need careful software interrupt driven programming (to get a useful signal).
Game port 
 The actual acquisition frequency and value usually depend on the joystick's resistance inside, noise, CPU speed and the total joystick-capacitor's RC time constant.
Game port 
 The reason for this was that no game controller and no joystick produced the same measurements each time.
Game port 
 The calibration procedure is still needed at some point, even under modern operating systems such as Windows XP.
Game port 
 Usually, it consists of moving the joystick around all of its axes to measure the maximum axis excursion values, no matter if the joystick uses analog signals (from potentiometers) or digital signals (using microswitches or contacts).
Game port 
 In the days of DOS, every game using the game port(s) had to do its own calibration, often each time the game started, and some poorly coded calibration routines even failed to work consistently and properly, rendering some joysticks unusable with some games.
Game port 
 With Windows XP, only one calibration per joystick is enough, which is thought "valid" until the joystick is unplugged.
Game port 
 Certain applications and games are  able to use some analog joysticks even without explicit calibration, under certain restricted conditions.
Game port 
 For this setup, an analog joystick can be "self calibrated" just by leaving the joystick in the middle position and taking a measurement, and then using some arbitrary or adaptive threshold to detect movement and excursion from the middle position.
Game port 
 The limitation of this method is that the reading of the same joystick over the same game port can change over time, and some joysticks cannot work at all with this method.
Game port 
 Also, the joystick must be in the middle position at least once when the implicit "self calibration" takes place, even if this is not directly stated.
Game port 
 Microsoft declared it would no longer include support for game ports in operating systems beginning with MS-Windows XP Professional x64 edition, reasoning that USB-based gaming equipment had become more common.
Game port 
 This leaves game port support up to the manufacturer of the device (i.e. Sound card or USB converters) the game port ships on.
Game port 
 Some advanced game port joysticks supports more than 4 buttons (e.g. 6 or 8) but typically require a special device driver for the additional buttons to work properly, since the game port does not have actual hardware support for more than 4 distinct buttons.
Game port 
 This can be overcome by using pins and input meant for the second joystick (i.e. button 5 through 8 are mapped to the signals to the axis pins meant for the second joystick - resulting in the issue of the two buttons mapped to the same axis being not simultaneously usable), using some normally "unused" pins, or changing the joystick's circuits (and related software) to read a 4-bit state code from the four button inputs, thus giving up to 16 button combinations (albeit with some limitations e.g. some buttons may not be held down) or a combination of both techniques.
Game port 
 High-end game port joysticks such as the Microsoft SideWinder rely on multiplexing a proprietary data stream through the 4 standard button inputs and sometimes through the "unused" pins, achieving full support for a rather high number of buttons (e.g. 16 or 20) while special features such as daisy-chaining multiple joysticks, force feedback or joystick programming become possible in some cases.
Game port 
 The obvious drawback is the need for a special device driver to interpret the joystick input, and making its use time consuming and operating system-dependent, while the joystick is usually unusable without a special driver (unless multiple operating modes are supported).
Game port 
 Some hardware and DIY enthusiasts have found ways to connect a wide array of input devices to the game port and even found other applications for it, such as voltage or current measurement or simple interfacing and data acquisition.
Game port 
 The original game port design by IBM (released in 1981 as a separate expansion card for the first IBM PC) initially allowed four analog axes and four buttons on one port, allowing two joysticks or four paddles to be connected, although this required a special "Y-splitter" cable and is not fully supported by some combined midi/game ports usually found on sound cards.
Game port 
 Some poorly implemented game ports (usually built-in on old motherboards and I/O cards) did not fully support either 4 axes or 4 buttons, making only the use of a single 2-axis and 2-button joystick possible.
Game port 
 The 15-pin game port is no longer provided on presently manufactured PCs, though adapters exist that allow older joysticks and controllers to connect via USB.
Game port 
 However, Microsoft's Vista operating system natively lacks all game port support, even for USB adapters.
Game port 
 Since the game port moved from dedicated expansion cards to sound cards about 1990, these connectors usually double as connectors for MIDI instruments; two of the redundant +5V and GND pins of the original standard were rededicated to MIDI input and output to make this possible.
Game port 
 To use a game port with MIDI instruments, one requires a cable with a male and a female DA-15 and two male 5-pin DIN connectors.
Game port 
 The drivers and hardware for the game port midi capabilities are based around the now standard Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface (in UART mode only), and support most MPU-401 standard applications for Windows and DOS.
Clinical trial 
 Depending on the drug, either volunteers or patients suffering from a disease or condition are enrolled in a study.
Clinical trial 
 In general, a number of the people taking part will receive the real drug, or a good treatment, and the rest of the people will receive a treatment or drug that has no effect, called a placebo.
Clinical trial 
 See if a drug that is already on the market can also help treat another disease (it was not designed for, at the start).
Clinical trial 
 See if a drug or treatment is better able to treat a patient's condition than the "standard" treatment already used.
Clinical trial 
 Clinical trials were first introduced in Avicenna's The Canon of Medicine in 1025 AD, where he laid down rules for the experimental use and testing of drugs.
Clinical trial 
 He wrote a precise guide for practical experimentation in the process of discovering and proving the effectiveness of medical drugs and substances.
Clinical trial 
 He laid out the following rules and principles for testing the effectiveness of new drugs and medications, which still form the basis of modern clinical trials:
Clinical trial 
 The drug must be tested with two contrary types of diseases, because sometimes a drug cures one disease by its essential qualities and another by its accidental ones.
Clinical trial 
 For example, there are some drugs whose heat is less than the coldness of certain diseases, so that they would have no effect on them.
Clinical trial 
 The effect of the drug must be seen to occur constantly or in many cases, for if this did not happen, it was an accidental effect.
Clinical trial 
 The experimentation must be done with the human body, for testing a drug on a lion or a horse might not prove anything about its effect on man.
Clinical trial 
 One of the most famous clinical trials was James Lind's demonstration in 1747 that citrus fruits cure scurvy.
Clinical trial 
 He compared the effects of various different acidic substances, ranging from vinegar to cider, on groups of afflicted sailors, and found that the group who were given oranges and lemons had largely recovered from scurvy after 6 days.
Clinical trial 
 Frederick Akbar Mahomed (d. 1884), who worked at Guy's Hospital in London, made substantial contributions to the process of clinical trials during his detailed clinical studies, where "he separated chronic nephritis with secondary hypertension from what we now term essential hypertension."
Clinical trial 
 He also founded "the Collective Investigation Record for the British Medical Association; this organization collected data from physicians practicing outside the hospital setting and was the precursor of modern collaborative clinical trials."
Paul Keres 
 Keres narrowly missed a chance at a World Chess Championship match on five occasions.p197 He came equal first in the 1938 AVRO tournament, which led to negotiations for a world championship match with Alexander Alekhine, but the match never took place due to World War II.
Paul Keres 
 Instead, he played a 14-game match with ex-World Champion Max Euwe in the Netherlands, December 1939 – January 1940.
Paul Keres 
 This was a superb achievement: not only was Euwe a former World Champion, but he had enormous experience at match play, far more than Keres.
Paul Keres 
 After the war he took part in the 1948 World Championship match-tournament of five top players, which decided the successor to Alekhine.
Paul Keres 
 He was then the runner-up in the Candidates' tournament on four consecutive occasions: 1953, 1956, 1959 and 1962.
Paul Keres 
 The latter was probably the strongest-ever Soviet championship; it had ten other players who had played in Candidates' tournaments, three of whom won the world title.
Paul Keres 
 Keres played for the USSR in seven successive Chess Olympiads, wining seven team medals, and five individual board medals.
Paul Keres 
 Due to these and other strong results, many commentators consider Keres to be the strongest player never to become World Chess Champion.
Paul Keres 
 When he played at the annual Hastings tournament in 1954/55, a KGB man sat on a chair outside his room at night.
Paul Keres 
 He had mastered the art of self-control, and his nickname amongst other players was 'Old Stoneface'.
Paul Keres 
 In his opinion, Keres failed to reach the top because of "a tendency to fade somewhat at decisive moments in the struggle".p198 A rumour that the Soviets had persuaded him to lose deliberately to Botvinnik in the 1948 World Championship has no evidence to back it up.
Paul Keres 
 Paul Keres vs Alexander Alekhine, Margate 1937, Ruy Lopez (C71), 1-0 A good example of the young Keres against the reigning world champion.
Paul Keres 
 Paul Keres vs Edgar Walther, Tel Aviv 1964, King's Indian, Petrosian System (E93), 1-0 Keres with 1.d4 against the King's Indian defence.

Anne of Austria 
 She was called the Infanta of Spain and of Portugal, Archduchess of Austria, Princess of Burgundy and of the Low Countries.
Anne of Austria

Anne of Austria 
 In 1625 the English George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, shocked the French court by admitting his passion for Anne.
Anne of Austria 
 Madame de Motteville said that, "if a respectable woman could love a man other than her husband, it would have been Buckingham".
Anne of Austria 
 Surprisingly, while there was such a strain between Anne and Louis at this time, Anne suddenly had a baby.
Anne of Austria 
 Another, more likely suggestion, was that there was one night with a storm that stopped Louis from going to Saint-Maur and made him sleep with the queen instead.
Anne of Austria 
 However, the official newspaper, the Gazette de France, does not mention if they slept in the same room.
Anne of Austria 
 It was three feet wide, and had two long sticks made of wood for Anne to hold while she was giving birth to her baby.
Anne of Austria 
 This was so that if her child was a boy, it would not be changed for a girl, or a living baby to a dead one.
Anne of Austria 
 The Gazette de France called it "a marvel when it was least expected", and Anne had a son for the first time in 22 years.
Anne of Austria 
 One of her servants said, "She takes great joy in playing with him ... it is her great pleasure in life."
Anne of Austria 
 There are a great number of suggestions as why she did not show such a great love for Monsieur, her second son.
Anne of Austria 
 Her lady-in-waiting, Madame de Motteville, wrote the story of the queen's life in her Mémoires d'Anne d'Autriche.
Anne of Austria 
 Louis Dieudonné of France, King of France from 1643-1715, Le Roi Soleil (5 September 1638–1 September 1715) married Maria Theresa of Austria and had children;
Anne of Austria
