Adobe Experience Cloud (AEC), formerly Adobe Marketing Cloud (AMC), is a collection of integrated online marketing and web analytics products by Adobe Inc.

History
Adobe Experience Cloud includes a set of analytics, social, advertising, media optimization, targeting, web experience management, journey orchestration and content management products, hosted on Microsoft Azure.

The Adobe Marketing Cloud collection was introduced to the public in October 2012 as Adobe began retiring the Omniture branding it acquired in October 2009. Products of the defunct company were then integrated, step-by-step, into the new Cloud service which includes the following eight applications: Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Social, Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Media Optimizer, Adobe Campaign (Classic and Standard), Audience Manager and Primetime. In November 2013, Adobe Systems introduced mobile features to its Marketing Cloud, making smartphones and other mobile devices new targets for analytics.

On September 15, 2009, Omniture, Inc. and Adobe Systems announced that Adobe would be purchasing Omniture, an online marketing and web analytics business unit in Orem, Utah. The deal worth $1.8 billion, was completed on October 23, 2009, and is now joined by other Adobe owned assets such as Day Software and Efficient Frontier, as the main components of Adobe's Digital Marketing Business Unit. Around 2012, Adobe withdrew the Omniture brand while its products were being integrated into the Adobe Marketing Cloud.

In 2013, Adobe also attained Satellite TMS from Search Discovery and renamed it Adobe Dynamic Tag Management (Adobe DTM) to replace their Adobe Tag Manager.
Using what was learned from Adobe DTM, Adobe made Adobe Launch, the next-generation tag management system, and released it in 2018.

On May 21, 2018, Adobe announced the acquisition of Magento for $1.68 billion. The addition of the Magento Commerce enables commerce features to be integrated into the Adobe Experience Cloud.

In the same year, on September 20, 2018, Adobe obtained the marketing automation company Marketo. This transaction is expected to close in Q4 2018.

In 2021, Adobe Experience Platform Launch will be integrated into Adobe Experience Platform as a suite of data collection technologies.

title: 1950–51 Lancashire Cup

text:
1950–51 was the thirty-eighth occasion on which the Lancashire Cup completion had been held.

Wigan won the trophy  by beating Warrington by the score of 28-5

The match was played at Station Road, Pendlebury, (historically in the county of Lancashire). The attendance was 42,541 and receipts were £6,222.

The attendance was a new record for the Lancashire Cup final and would only ever be broken once in the future

This was the fifth of Wigan’s record breaking run of six consecutive Lancashire Cup victories.

Background

Overall, the number of teams entering this year’s competition remained the same as last year’s total of 14.

The same pre-war fixture format was retained. This season saw no bye but one “blank” or “dummy” fixture in the first round. There was also one bye but no “blank” fixture” in the second round.

As last season, all the first round matches of the competition will be played on the basis of two legged, home and away, ties – and the remainder of the rounds remaining on straight forward knock-out basis.

Competition and results

Round 1 – first leg
Involved  7 matches (with no bye and one “blank” fixture) and 14 clubs

Round 1 – second leg
Involved  7 matches (with no bye and one “blank” fixture) and 14 clubs. These are the reverse fixture from the first leg.

Round 2 - quarterfinals
Involved 3 matches (with one bye) and 7 clubs

Round 3 – semifinals
Involved 2 matches and 4 clubs

Final

Teams and scorers

Scoring - Try = three (3) points - Goal = two (2) points - Drop goal = two (2) points

The road to success
All the first round ties were played on a two leg (home and away) basis.

The first club named in each of the first round ties played the first leg at home.

the scores shown in the first round are the aggregate score over the two legs.

Notes and comments
1 * The attendance of 42,541 was a new record for the Lancashire Cup final beating the previous by just over 3,500, and would only ever be broken once in the future

2 * Station Road was the home ground of Swinton from 1929 to 1932 and at its peak was one of the finest rugby league grounds in the country and it boasted a capacity of 60,000. The actual record attendance was for the Challenge Cup semi-final on 7 April 1951 when 44,621 watched Wigan beat Warrington 3-2

title: Hokutan Horonai coal mine

text:
The  is the oldest mine of the Ishikari coalfield of the Sorachi (Mikasa) mining region  on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Since its privatisation in 1889, the mine came under the management of the Hokutan company until its closure in 1989.

The Startup

In 1868, carpenter Kimura Kichitarō (木村 吉太郎) discovered coal in Horonai, Mikasa (三 笠). However, it took another 6 years before Chōjūrō Hayakawa a citizen of Sapporo, delivered the first coal to the colonization commission (開拓使, Kaitakushi). The local government took action, and the mining engineers Benjamin Smith Lyman and Takeaki Enomoto welded an investigation. Their findings were satisfactory, and the Meiji government decided to build in Horonai the first coal mine of the Ishikari coal basin. The construction of the mine was led by the American engineer L.C.E. Goujot and his disciple Edward Parry. The first adit, the Daikōdō (大抗道, big adit) was opened in 1879. It was followed by the opening of the Takinosawa adit (瀧ノ沢抗) and Honsawa adit (本沢抗) in 1882, which meant the start of the coal production.

In the year 1882, the railway of Horonai was completed (官営幌内鉄道, Kan'ei Horonai Tetsudō), the third railway of the Japanese empire connecting the mine with the Otaru harbor. Also, the government decided to build the prison of sorachi in Mikasa (空知監獄). Thus the problem of overcrowded prisons as well as the problem of insufficient labour power in the mine were solved. Between 1883 and 1894, this prison provided an average of 720 prison miners a year, making up 80 percent of the total workforce.

Privatisation

In 1889, the Meiji government sold off the mine and its railways to, Hori Motoi, who founded the Hokkaido Colliery and Railway Company (北海道炭礦鉄道会社 Hokkaidō Tankō Tetsudō Kaisha), abbreviated as Hokutan. Due to the tensions with Russia, Japan nationalised its railways again in 1906, and the company name changed into the Hokkaidō Coal and Steamship Company. In 1913, after disappointing investments in its steel plant, in Muroran, the conglomerate Mitsui bought itself into the management of Hokutan.

Along with the property, Hokutan also bought the rights for prison labor, so the miners mostly consisted of prisoners. It continued until 1894, when the Meiji government under the pressure of the public opinion led by Protestant prison director Ōinoue Terusaki (1848-1912), decided on the abolition of prison labour. The prisoners were substituted by other forms of recruitment as that of subcontractors (飯場制度, hanbaseidō) and direct recruitment as well as a thorough mechanization. In 1938, the Tokiwakō (常磐坑), two inclined shafts were mined. Along these the coal was transported towards the coal preparation plant. In 1952, these shafts were equipped with conveyor belts. When in 1967, the Horonai mine merged with the Shin-Horonai mine (新幌内炭鉱, shin Horonai tankō), these belts transported coal from a depth of 520 meters, over a distance of 2.720 meters towards the plant. The merged Hokutan Horonai mine was equipped with two modern deep shafts and used drum cutters since 1968, which made it one of the most modern mines of Japan.

Closure

In the 70's the Horonai mine faced several mine accidents, and thus became unprofitable. In November 1975, a gas explosion took 13 lives and caused an underground fire that had to be extinguished by pouring 4 billion liters of water into the mine. The extinguishing and subsequent repairs dragged on for two years and left the mine with a debt of 120 billion yen and on the verge of bankruptcy.

As a final attempt, the parent company was in 1978 split into the departments of Horonai, Sorachi, Mayachi and Yubari. These subsidiaries were accumulating losses and the bank of the parent company, Mitsui, was no longer willing to cover these losses. Again, on November 27, 1977, another deadly gas explosion with more than 15 victims occurred in Horonai, and its financial situation worsened. As a result, the local government had to buy up its properties, such as the mining community and its facilities, in order to finance its closure.

Adaptive Reuse

Due to its difficult financial situation Hokutan could not even clean up its own properties. Ultimately, only the steel structures (excluding the Horonai shaft) have been erased, but the concrete structures remained standing in the landscape. The city of Mikasa built a railway museum on the access road to the mining site. However, this museum could not replace the income from the mining activities, and the city balanced on the verge of bankruptcy. These events forced the regional government of Sorachi to adjust its regeneration policy. So it proclaimed in 1998 the "Law for the Examination of Mining Heritage," (炭鉱の記憶調査事業, Tankō no Kioku Chōsa Jigyō) which supported the enhancement of regional material and immaterial heritage. In response to it, professor Hirotaka Yoshioka (吉岡宏高) promoted the valorisation of the mining heritage of Mikasa by organizing heritage walks at the site of the mine Horonai, which resulted in the establishment of the landscape park of the coal mine Horonai (幌内炭鉱景観公園, Horonai Tankō Keikan Kōen).

In mathematics, Artin's criteria are a collection of related necessary and sufficient conditions on deformation functors which prove the representability of these functors as either Algebraic spaces or as Algebraic stacks. In particular, these conditions are used in the construction of the moduli stack of elliptic curves and the construction of the moduli stack of pointed curves.

title: Castilleja caudata

text:
Castilleja caudata, common name Port Clarence Indian paintbrush or pale Indian paintbrush, is a plant species native to Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and the northeastern part of Asiatic Russia. The first common name refers to Port Clarence, on the north coast of the Bering Sea just south of Nome.

Castilleja caudata is an herb with a short taproot. The plant appears to be a facultative parasite, capable of surviving without draining nutrients from other plants but growing more healthy if it can draw sustenance from other plants. Stems can reach a height of 40 cm (16 inches). Leaves and stems tend to be hairless toward the bottom, finely hairy above, and bristly in the inflorescence. Leaves are narrowly lanceolate, tapering gradually toward the tip. The inflorescence has 5-12 flowers, the flowers greenish-yellow each with a greenish-yellow to cream-colored bract below.

title: Acitana

text:
Acitana is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown in northeast Sicily where it is often blended with Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese around the village of Messina though Acitana is officially not a permitted variety for wines labeled under the local Faro DOC.

History

Ampelographers believe that Acitana is likely native to the island of Sicily and may have originated near of Catania on the east coast of the island. Northeast of Catania are several villages in the province of Catania with names that begin with Aci, such as Aci Sant'Antonio, Acireale, Aci Catena, Aci Castello and Aci Bonaccorsi, so it is possible that the name Acitana could be a portmanteau of Cantania and one of these Aci villages.

Wine regions

While historically, Acitana was once widely throughout the provinces of Catania and Messina, today it is mostly found near in Messina. While not officially recognized for use in the red Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) wine of Faro, the grape is sometimes used for vino da tavola red bends with Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese.

Synonyms
Over the years, Acitana has also been known under the synonym Citana .

title: MV Ocean Trader

text:
The MV Ocean Trader (ex-Cragside) is a Special Warfare Support vessel operated by the United States Military Sealift Command.

The vessel has been proposed to serve as a special operations base for up to 200 troops, hangar bays for helicopters, gyms and weapons lockers.

History
Between the years 2010 and 2011 the US Joint Special Operations Command operated a leased vessel off the coast of Somalia. Commanded by an officer from the US Navy, the vessel fell under the command of Task Force 484, the JSOC task force for the Horn of Africa and Yemen. Leased from the Edison Chouest Offshore firm, it reportedly had the capability to accommodate Navy SEALs, RHIBs and a helicopter. However, it reportedly focused mostly on collecting SIGINT equipment provided and operated by Navy SEALs. It is likely that the ship was a stopgap measure before a permanent ship, the Ocean Trader, could be acquired.

Cragside was launched by Odense Steel Shipyard in 2010, and completed in 2011 for Maersk Line.

In November 2013, Maersk was awarded a $73 million contract to convert the ship.

The US Navy's Request For Proposal called for a dual-screw ship capable of sustaining 20 knots speed with a range of 8000 miles, with 45 days endurance for a crew of 50 persons, augmented by a surge of up to 159 additional government personnel, and able to be refueled and re-provisioned underway for an additional 45 days' endurance for all 209 personnel. The vessel was to include capability to embark, hangar, launch and recover all rotary wing aircraft in the SOF inventory up to the size of the MH-53E, provide multiple refueling points for aircraft with a capacity for carrying 150,000 gallons of JP-5 fuel, carry and launch 4 boats of 12.3m length, two simultaneously within 20 minutes, and be able to carry, launch, and recover 8 jet skis and Zodiac inflatables. Modifications seen include a cavernous double hangar bay on the top deck forward of the bridge, and the conversion of the upper cargo deck immediately beneath the flight deck to handle the launch of boats. Unseen modifications were to include the addition of multiple dedicated maintenance and repair workshops for aircraft, UAVs, and small craft, dive lockers and service facilities for up to 60 NSWF personnel and their equipment, a 40 person SCIF, 20 person communications suite, berthing for at least 209 personnel, and emergency medical/surgical suite capable of accommodating at least 10 battle casualties. External FLIR monitoring and six 0.5inch machinegun pintle mounts for local security were also part of the upgrade. Numerous satellite antenna and communication masts are installed on the upper decks. All modifications included the requirement to operate in areas with ambient outside temperatures of 110 °F and sea temps of 95 °F. for extended periods in stationary location, indicating the Horn of Africa and waters contiguous to the Saudi Arabian peninsula would be the ship's primary area of deployment.

The ship was in service as of 2017, and was reported to have operated in the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas.

In January 2018, a photo of the ship was taken at the Al Duqm Port & Drydock in Oman.

It was more recently photographed docked in Victoria in the Seychelles.

title: Robert Strichartz

text:
Robert "Bob" Stephen Strichartz (October 14, 1943 – December 19, 2021) was an American mathematician who specialized in mathematical analysis.

He was born in New York City on October 14, 1943. Bob graduated from Bronx High School of Science in 1961 and later earned his B.A. from Dartmouth College in 1963. As an undergraduate, he was notably part of two successful Putnam campaigns for Dartmouth. The Dartmouth team finished fifth in 1961 and second in 1962. To date, no Dartmouth Putnam team has replicated a top five finish. Individually, Bob was also recognized as a Putnam fellow in 1962. He was one of the five highest-ranking individual competitors and was eligible for a $3,000 William Lowell Putnam Scholarship at Harvard University.

In 1966 Bob received his PhD from Princeton University under Elias Stein with thesis Multipliers on generalized Sobolev spaces. Bob was a NATO postdoctoral fellow at University of Paris Sud (Orsay) from 1966 to 1967.

Bob's first academic position was at MIT. From 1967 to 1969, he was a C.L.E. Moore Instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He met his wife, Naomi Richardson, a ballet dancer from Brooklyn and daughter of a mathematician, in 1967. They lived in Boston while he taught at MIT. He then joined the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University, where he taught for more than 50 years. He was appointed assistant professor of mathematics at Cornell in 1969, associate professor in 1971, and full professor in 1977. He mentored nine doctoral students and many undergraduate researchers.

Bob worked on harmonic analysis (including wavelets and analysis on Lie groups and manifolds), partial differential equations, Integral geometry and analysis on fractals. Strichartz estimates are named after him due to his application of such estimates to harmonic analysis on homogeneous and nonhomogeneous linear dispersive and wave equations; his work was subsequently generalized to nonlinear wave equations by Terence Tao and others. Bob is also known for his analysis on fractals, building upon the work of Jun Kigami on the construction of a Laplacian operator on fractals such as the Sierpinski–Menger sponge.

In 1983 he won the Lester Randolph Ford Award for Radon inversion – variations on a theme.
He was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to analysis and partial differential equations, for exposition, and for service to the mathematical community".
At Cornell, he brought faculty and students together for weekly lunches, encouraging attendance by offering Cornell apples. An amateur composer, Bob was also the driving force behind a tradition of annual math department concerts, during which faculty, students, spouses and children would perform music at all levels.

Bob and Naomi had two children, Jeremy and Miranda. Bob died on December 19, 2021, at the age of 78.

title: RK Budvanska rivijera

text:
Rukometni klub Budvanska rivijera is a Montenegrin handball club from Budva, that plays in Montenegrin First League.

History

RK Budvanska rivijera is among the youngest handball clubs in Montenegro. It was formed in 2006, under the name RK Stari grad. After two seasons in the Second League, club gained promotion to the First League at the end of 2007/08 season. During the summer of 2008, club was renamed into RK Budvanska rivijera.

During the period 2008–2013, Budvanska Rivijera became a regular participant of the strongest handball league in Montenegro, even playing two seasons in the European cups.

In the season 2015–16, Budvanska Rivijera won the champions title in Montenegrin First League, after a hard struggle with RK Lovćen and RK Boka. This was a historical success for the team from Budva.

Unfortunately, the team fell into a financial crisis, which soon led to a relegation from the Montenegrin highest handball competition. Next few seasons were tough, with many key players, that have won the championship in 2015/16, leaving the club. Budvanska rivijera, however, managed to stabilize and finally returned to the Montenegrin First League in 2018. As of 2022, it is still playing in it.

After regaining a place among the strongest Montenegrin handball clubs in 2018, Budvanska rivijera once again started building a championship team. They proved to be a very competent and strong opponent to Lovćen. Finally, in the season 2021/22, after long 6 years and many problems and rebuilding, Budvanska rivijera managed to reclaim the title of a Montenegrin handball champion, becoming only the third Montenegrin team to win multiple championship titles (alongside Lovćen and Budućnost).

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. II: The Two Towers is a video game published by Interplay Productions. It is an adaptation of The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien, which is the second volume in The Lord of the Rings.

The game was released in 1992 for MS-DOS, PC-98, and  FM Towns. It is a sequel to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I.

An Amiga version, and a second sequel, were canceled.

Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to that of the first game. It is a role-playing game wherein the player controls multiple characters from the book. It uses a top-down perspective. The game takes place slightly before its predecessor ends: at the dark forest of Fangorn. The story splits into several journeys of different characters similar to the book, the game also switches between different controllable parties. The ultimate goal is to reach Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring, though this is never accomplished in-game as these final scenes were intended for the canceled Volume III.

Reception
Computer Gaming World approved of the game's use of predetermined switching between characters, stating that it gives Towers "a depth of narrative which would not otherwise have been possible". The magazine concluded that those who enjoyed the first game in the series would enjoy its sequel, while newcomers might be confused but "still find Towers a worthy piece of entertainment".
