The man behind the bells of UW-Madison's Carillon bell tower
By KATJUSA CISAR | The Capital Times |
Lyle Anderson, carillonneur, at the Carillon Tower at UW-Madison.

Each bell has a clapper attached by wire down to one of the carillon's wooden batons, organized like piano keys but depressed with the pinky side of the fist.
MICHELLE STOCKER
Mike Crane of Madison listens as Lyle Anderson, carillionneur, plays the carillon on Sunday at UW-Madison in Madison.
Lyle Anderson, carillonneur, shows the bells in the bell tower before performing on Sunday.
Lyle Anderson never listens to music casually. His musicology professor in the '60s, dismayed that students listened to music as they studied, drummed that ethic into him. Now he often enjoys listening to Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler symphonies with the scores in hand.
Ironically, most people hear Anderson's music casually.
Since 1986, he's been the official carillon player, or carillonneur, at UW-Madison. Every Sunday at 3 p.m. when school is in session, he opens up the Carillon Tower on Bascom Hill and performs a one-hour concert on the fully mechanical, four-and-a-half octave, 56-bell instrument (as a comparison, a piano has 88 keys).
On a recent sunny Sunday afternoon, he left the door to the tower open. Curious passersby, most of them college students, cautiously climbed the flights of stairs into the tower to check it out. They gaped with the enthusiasm of kids watching a heavy-duty frontloading truck at a construction site mixed with the reverence of adults in a museum. A guest book, started in October 1995, shows thousands of signatures.
"That is so raw!" said a young guy wearing colorful sneakers as he descended from the open-air belfry above Anderson.
The 1930s tower overlooks Picnic Point to the west, Lake Mendota to the north, the Capitol to the east and a jumble of campus rooftops to the south. But the bells, installed over decades, are most impressive. The Big Papa and Big Mama bells are stove-sized, at least. The smallest row of bells ranges in size from gallon milk jugs to rotisserie chickens.
The whole system works like a teeter-totter. Each bell has a clapper attached by wire down to one of the carillon's wooden batons, organized like piano keys but depressed with the pinky side of the fist.
It's intimate in its mechanical simplicity, said Anderson, who grew up on a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin and studied carillon at UW-Madison and in the Netherlands. He could use an electronic keyboard to play the bells, he said, but that would defeat the musicality of the carillon, which gives him the ability to control volume and give the music nuance.
He's accustomed to, and welcomes, the curious into the tower. But he worries that too many come to ooh and ahh over the mechanics inside, then continue on their way without staying to enjoy the music outside - where it sounds best.
Very few people on Observatory Drive stopped long to listen to the concert. A few did, though. An athletic guy lay prostrate in the sun directly outside the carillon for a while, his head resting on a football like a pillow. Across the street, Mike Crane sat on a bench and listened.
"I was in the office doing some work and I thought, 'You know, I need a little stretch,'" said Crane, chief operating officer at Wisconsin Public Radio, which has its offices in nearby Vilas Hall. He keeps a reminder of Anderson's weekly concert in his calendar, in case he's at work and looking for a diversion.
Anderson chooses the concert's program himself, despite a persistent and false rumor that he'll play any sheet music people bring up to him. It's a mix of accessible and "fresh" music with a dash of "quirky, intellectual" material, he said.
On this Sunday, he'd assembled a selection of his favorites: Erik Satie, Johann Sebastian Bach, Mathias van den Gheyn, and more by obscure composers who wrote for carillon only.
This is not basic, pretty Sunday morning bell-ringing. The Satie piece, "Gnossienne No. 1," is haunting and modern.
An adaptation for carillon of Irving Berlin's "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" proves why the carillon's baton system is superior to an electronic keyboard for playing the bells, Anderson said. The melody switches to the lower register in the second verse, and the sensitivity of the mechanical batons allows him to bring it to the fore. A keyboard would plunk it out without soul.
Using the carillon is not about historical accuracy, he said, it's about good music. But there's a lot of history behind it.
This year, the carillon turns 500 years old. For a couple of centuries, it was an "important civic instrument," he said, "and then it went into an eclipse." It was rediscovered around the turn of the last century.
Anderson is very matter-of-fact about his attraction to the carillon. The sound is "pleasing," but he doesn't wax too philosophical about its musicality. Of the instruments he's played, it's simply the one he plays best. Now 63, he expects to play into his 80s.
No one's beating down the door to learn the carillon at UW-Madison, but he's not worried about who will take his place. "Somebody'll come along. There are plenty of people who fret about that," he said. There aren't many full-time jobs in the field, anyway. Anderson's position is a "tiny little job that wouldn't even pay my rent," and he supplements it with church organ gigs and part-time work at the Wisconsin State Climatology Office.
The last student to express interest in playing the carillon was Tim Rusterholz, a composition major in the School of Music, said Richard Mumford, the school's public relations director and concert manager. His grandfather was Theophil Rusterholz, a carillonneur at House of Hope Presbyterian Church in St. Paul, Minn.
The younger Rusterholz played an unconventional concert here in summer 2007, a mostly improvised blend of carillon, electric guitar, synthesizer, computer-generated sounds and amplified vocals.
"It was not at all similar to other carillon recitals that I've heard," Mumford said.
Anderson is returning with his own annual series of summer carillon recitals on Thursday evenings in July, plus a holiday program on July 4, (a Sunday).
At the end of a recent hour-long Sunday afternoon concert, Anderson changed from his carillon shoes (just clean oxfords, really) and into outdoor shoes, then walked down to lock up the tower. He's taken it upon himself to tend to the garden around the building. Every Sunday, he takes a photo of the grounds. It's a good way to keep track of the changing seasons, he said.
Not much was growing in the garden, but a recent snowmelt exposed a winter's worth of debris.
"You know what is growing in this garden? Earbuds!" he exclaimed, pulling up a few strands of the ubiquitous white iPod wires.

Launch of Bucks Data Exchange website
Home > Latest News > Bucks Data Exchange website launches to share high quality data to benefit people and places
A new website was unveiled at a special launch event at The Dairy in Waddesdon on 6th September. Over 90 people gathered to mark the launch of the site which will provide an unprecedented opportunity for the voluntary and community sector to use solid data on the needs of local people to make strategic decisions.
The event, kindly hosted by the Rothschild Foundation provided the opportunity for charity leaders, community groups and data enthusiasts to hear how smarter use of data can strengthen our decision making and investments.
On the website, visitors can view data on population, carbon emissions, recycling rates, broadband speeds, life expectancy, rates of smoking, community safety and much more.
The published data is the most recent available, focuses on Buckinghamshire and is aggregated so it contains no personal information.
This platform, built by Aylesbury based agency Framework Digital, is the result of months of hard work and collaboration between the Rothschild Foundation, Buckinghamshire Council, Leap, Heart of Bucks, Buckinghamshire's Local Enterprise Partnership, Thames Valley's Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Bucks VCSE Partnership Board.
Ellie Stout, Head of Grants at Rothschild Foundation, who have provided funding for the project commented, "The Rothschild Foundation is proud to be supporting the Buckinghamshire Data Exchange through our role as funder, project partner and contributor of data. We believe that through sharing our data we can help make grant-making and service delivery in the county even more effective and joined up. Through the process of gathering and publishing our data we can better understand ourselves and where we need to focus. That's why we're passionate about supporting more organisations to join the Bucks Data Exchange community."
Attendees at the event also heard from data ambassador, Danny Kruger MP. The MP for Devizes, Charity Chair and Former Charity CEO spoke about the vital role data plays through a video interview.
Mark Ormerod, Chair Buckinghamshire VCSE Partnership Board and CEO of Leap added, "I believe partnership and collaboration is critical to address the most stubborn inequalities and challenges facing society today. The Buckinghamshire Data Exchange will enable key organisations across Buckinghamshire to distribute and share their intelligence, and collectively we can work on new solutions to address perennial problems."
Project organisers are encouraging charities, community organisations and anyone with an interest in Buckinghamshire to visit the Bucks Data Exchange website, sign up for updates and follow the Bucks Data Exchange online. They'd also love to hear from organisations who might have data to add to the platform.

Anime Similar to Mob Psycho 100 You Will Definitely Like Watching!
Shreyanshi Khandelwal
Starring a psychic boy, a pundit in telekinesis, Mob Psycho 100 is one the most amazing series in the world of anime. Packed with action, supernatural activities, and a tad bit of comedy, Mob Psycho 100 has won the hearts of many anime lovers. The Japanese Manga series is based on a webcomic authored by One. If you loved watching Mob Psycho 100 and looking for similar recommendations, you're just at the right place. In this article, we will talk about the top 10 anime series that are similar to Mob Psycho 100.
Preview of Mob Psycho 100
Top 10 Anime Series to Watch if you liked Mob Psycho 100
Hinamatsuri
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
Twin Star Exorcists
FLCL
Shigeo Kageyama, also known as Mob.
The show features a childish boy named Kageyama, who gives birth to extraordinary powers. He develops amazing psychic powers at a young age. Unable to keep his mind in order, it gets difficult for him to control his powers and make the most of them. However, unfamiliar with the mean society, Mob falls into the trap of a charlatan Arataka. He takes advantage of the Mob to get his work done. But in the latter part of the series, the boy realizes his true capabilities and becomes one of the most powerful characters of all time.
Loved watching the abilities of the psychic boy? Well, here is the list of best anime series like Mob Psycho 100 that are worth watching!
Like Mob has supernatural powers to do the unbelievable, this anime series features an alien girl named Hina who possesses similar abilities. She keeps up a yakuza called Yoshifumi Nitta. Nitta knows nothing about the origins of the girl except the fact that she's powerful. As Mob had a harder time controlling his abilities, Hina, too, finds it difficult to keep her mind in order and control her miraculous powers.
Here comes another analogy! As Arataka took advantage of Mob for his work, Nitta too uses this girl for his progress. Hina safeguards him from all the troubles and is the biggest possession of Nitta. This explains why you Hinamatsuri is worth your time!
The storyline of this manga series is quite narrow. It features a minor god called Yato, who doesn't even have a single shrine. And, therefore, he is mocked by other gods for his weaknesses. Thus, he makes it a mission to help the needy people hoping that they would help him someday.
As Yato saves a girl from a major accident, the girl gains the ability to lose her soul. She unites with Yato, and they team up with Yukine later to protect humanity and save humans from "you." This action fiction Noragami must be on your watch list if you are a true Mob Psycho 100 fan.
Well, the character of Kusuo Saiki in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. is nearly identical to that of Mob. Both of them have psychic powers, but unlike Mob, Saiki wants to let go of his powers and become a normal human being. His powers have always been troublesome for him as he doesn't know how to make the most of them.
His bizarre powers always attract bizarre people. Thus, making his life full of the odd ones. The show has an IMDb rating of 7.9/10, and you can enjoy watching it with your friends on Netflix.
This show features one of the greatest villains of all time that is, Tetsuo Shima. Most Marvel fans love the character of Loki. Similarly, Shima is one of the most beloved supervillains in the Anime Universe.
This series revolves around Akira, who possesses extraordinary powers and uses them to run away from the people who capture him. This sci-fi animation has an IMDb rating of 8/10 and is truly intriguing. Jam-packed action with a touch of comedy, you will not regret watching Akira.
This anime series is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which all human beings have psychic powers. This means that there's a chance for humans to go extinct. To meet out with this problem, the people of a certain village make some rules that everybody must abide by.
Shinsekai Yori features a group of five kids who are about to revive their mysterious abilities. On their way of establishing these powers, they also learn about the awful reality of the world and its history.
Put down by Yoshiaki Sukeno; this manga series has gained a lot of popularity as well as massive ratings since its release. Twin Star Exorcists features numerous exorcists who kill the evil in a parallel universe to save the world from demons. However, Rokuro Enmado doesn't like the idea of becoming an exorcist. Despite having enormous potential to ward off evil, he resists this.
This anime series has an IMDb rating of 7.1/10. And, it will keep you engaging with its light comedy, dark secrets, as well as unexpected twists. It is not very similar to Mob Psycho 100, but you must go for it if you are into action and adventure!
As the name explains itself, this anime series stars Saitama, who can rip anyone off with a single punch. It doesn't matter who the opponent is; Saitama's one punch can knock out anyone. Despite his powers, he never wishes to become the most powerful in the universe. Saitama believes that joy lies in the journey and not the destination.
Since its release, the anime series One-Punch man has gained worldwide popularity for starring an unbeatable hero. With an amazing IMDb rating of 8.8/10, it has set new standards. You can watch the action of this superhero directly on Netflix.
As we all know, the story of Soul Eater is set in a renowned academy called Death Weapon Meister Academy. With unique characters belonging to different backgrounds who develop gradually, this is one of the funniest anime series. Soul Eater has amazing visuals and 3-D scenes, combined with heavy music to keep you hooked to it.
Despite gaining massive popularity at the time of its release, the makers never planned to go for Soul Eater Season 2. They left the previous season on a cliffhanger and didn't want to ruin this action fiction's ending.
This series revolves around a young boy in his adolescent years, Naota, who leads a very mundane life until he meets Haruko Haruhara. He develops a mysterious horn on his forehead when he comes across this girl. With outstanding composition style and diverse scenes, this wacky series has a fanbase of its own.
The show has an IMDb rating of 8.2/10 and is still appreciated by many. It has released 3 seasons but never got renewed after that. Well, the fans liked not only the story of FLCL but also its intense soundtrack. You must watch this series if you are into surrealism and a tad bit of comedy.
One of the most beloved anime series of 2020, Demon Slayer is likely to be listed. Not only known for its action but also emotion, Demon Slayer, will make you laugh sometimes and cry the other times. It was dropped recently among anime lovers and has gained amazing reviews from them.
The story revolves around a young boy who is on a mission to get her sister back as she was taken away by the demons. However, he later finds out that she has turned into a demon himself. Well, all of us are waiting for its second part. By the time the makers release it, watch any of the above-mentioned series, and you won't be disappointed!

This is the biopic of Temple Grandin, a woman who has revolutionised the way we deal with cattle, is one of the top scientists in the humane livestock handling industry, and is autistic. Born in the late 1940s, watching the movie of her life was also a look at how autism was seen in the second half of the century. In 1981, Temple amazed an autism convention by being a functioning, high-achieving person. She gave various reasons, credit to her mother and her schools.
Thank you for having the inner strength and belief to follow your heart in raising your child. I can see how much patience was required to make her speak, to make her go to school, to make her a part of the world, to force her out of her comfort zones. So much patience, and so much love. And doing so without being able to follow the mother instincts of hugging your child. How hard to leave any child at a boarding school, let alone one who is so obviously different, such a magnet for bullying, and know that you can't hug them goodbye. I wept when I saw Temple allow you to hug her after Dr Carlock's funeral. So, not just patience, perseverance, and love, but also self-sacrifice and that wonderful message for your daughter: different, but not less.
What a great gift you gave both Temple and Eustacia. To give Eustacia some time off, some relief from the intensive full-time job of being the mother of an autistic child. To give Temple a new environment that was at first different and challenging and a stretch of her comfort zone, but with love and understanding. And to introduce Temple to cattle. The smallest actions can have such far-reaching consequences!
None of you is 'just' a teacher. You have such influence in the lives of your students. I know (believe me, I know!) that it can be disheartening when students seem not to learn anything, or have little or no enthusiasm for what you are trying to teach them. And not everyone will have a talent for everything (how boring would that world be?!). But if you can foster an inquisitive mind, a discipline and a perseverance, your work is not wasted. If you have the insight to help just one student see the world anew, to recognise their potential in a particular area, you have really made a difference in their life. If, like Dr Carlock, you can recognise that one of your students sees the world through pictures; and you discover that she can remember everything she sees; and set her a small challenge of perception that she can eventually conquer; then you might just have helped a child on her way to a PhD and changing the world.
What a wonderful friend you are. What a perfect roommate. So calm, so gentle, so accepting, so parallel in being another sort of different, but not less. And although visually impaired, such clear inner vision, able to see how people are feeling through their voice, able to perceive what's really going on without visual distraction. Such a good match for someone who also sees the world differently from the way most people see it.
Well done. I laughed and I cried and I was indignant and I was impressed. I was super-impressed with Claire Danes' portrayal of Temple. I could see her name on the cover, and on imdb, but I only recognised her in maybe 3 moments, when Temple/Claire lit up with utter delight. I'm sure everyone who saw Temple at those corresponding moments would not have been able to be anything other than delighted also, it was overwhelming.
Thank you for allowing this movie of your life to be made. I am so impressed with your determination to do what you believe is right, no matter how challenging that is for you. I am not sure I would have the strength to do what you have done, to open those doors and step through. And your explanations of how your brain works - so clear and concise and helpful. Not conjecture, but reality. And the pictures in the movie, so much of them in black and white. That visual representation of what you hear - well, I get that too, although not to such a great extent. Your mental image of 'animal husbandry' was remarkably similar to mine, I laughed with delight that someone else saw it that way too.
Thank you for your insistence on the squeeze machine. What a wonderful gift to future generations of autistic children and their families. And thank you for your belief that we should be humane in our treatment of cattle. Just that word has such connotations of mistreatment, yet as you say they are only here because we eat them so why should we mistreat them? Seeing them as living beings with heartbeats and emotions is something we often miss. Taking the time to actually see them, see what they see, see what they feel, feel for them, be kinder to them.
And although you may never be able to read what people say with their eyes, your eyes see in ways most people cannot imagine, and we have a better world thanks to you.
What we do matters. When we allow someone to sit next to us at a desk, smile with them, listen to them, help them through a door, watch TV with them, talk with them, really see them, we accept them, and this matters. Never underestimate the power of your actions or your words.

Ancelotti's Army shocks boastful Mourinho at home
Carlo Ancelotti proved his tactical superiority over Tottenham Hotspurs' manager, Jose Mourinho when his boys disgraced the Portuguese coach with a 1-0 victory to pocket the maximum points at stake in the Premier League tie.
Everton fans will forever be grateful to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 55th minute after the first 45th minute failed to produce goals.
Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi, was not included in Everton's squad for their opening day clash against Tottenham Hotspur.
The reason for his omission was not known but it likely has to do with the increased competition in the Toffees team.
Everton manager, Carlo Ancelotti, started all of his three new signings, James Rodriguez, Allan, and Abdoulaye Doucoure with all three players playing a role in the Toffees win over Jose Mourinho's men.
Everton had the better chances and should have taken the lead in the opening ten minutes when Richarlison was presented with an opportunity, but he fluffed his lines.
Calvert-Lewin gave Hugo Lloris no chance after connecting with Lucas Digne's in-swinging free-kick to earn the Toffees a first win over Spurs since 2012.
In a high-octane encounter, Jordan Pickford produced two excellent saves to keep out Dele Alli and Matt Doherty, who was making his debut after signing from Wolves.
But with new signing James Rodriguez in excellent form, Everton fully deserved their win after a hard-working performance.
Everton should have taken the lead in the early stages but Richarlison lost his footing after rounding Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris.
After Everton's disappointing 12th place last season, their lowest position since 2003-04, Carlo Ancelotti has embarked on an ambitious rebuilding job, specifically targeting the midfield.
As well as Rodriguez, Brazil's Allan and Watford's Abdoulaye Doucoure have also been drafted in to provide energy and creativity in the engine room – and all three gave Ancelotti huge encouragement for the season ahead.
Rodriguez, in particular, stood out, with his quality passing setting up good chances.
The Toffees could – and should – have won by a more handsome margin against a static Tottenham side short of ideas.
Rodriguez twice picked out Richarlison after half-time but the Brazilian, who wasted a great chance in the first half, was unable to punish Spurs.
Allan, who played under Ancelotti at Napoli, was calm and composed as Everton looked rejuvenated after a poor 2019-20.
Pickford's saves to keep out Alli and Doherty were crucial with Ancelotti delighted with a clean-sheet win against a side that finished 10 points and six places above them last season.

Pizza...for breakfast? And it's paleo?! And delicious?!?! Yes, yes and yes. I think this is my new favourite brekky. It's a one pan wonder full of less-scary-than-spirulina superfoods that packs a serious nutritional punch. And it is dead easy!
You'll want a little non-stick pan (or a big one if you're cooking for 2 or more). On a medium high heat, line the base of the pan with sliced leg ham. Make sure there aren't any gaps, then crack a couple of eggs per person on top.
Throw on some halved cherry toms and whatever other veg you have on hand (leftover corn, frozen peas, capsicum, onion etc would work well). Add a couple of big handfuls of spinach then lid it - I used my tagine lid but anything that isn't completely flat works well as it'll enable the spinach wilting more readily.
Cook until the spinach is just wilted - your whites should be cooked by now with the yolks still glossy and soft.
Use a spatula to transfer it from pan to plate. I then topped mine with a sprinkle of freshly ground flax seeds, chilli flakes and fresh parsley, with a dollop of kim chi on top.
Get creati ve! You could even pop some chickpeas and more tomatoes in and dust with Moroccan Spice and some fresh lemon zest - yum! Leftover caramelised onions with goats cheese would also float my boat. What would you use?


Sailfish bite: A record year.
Home Fishing Los Suenos Fishing Reports Sailfish bite: A record year.
The offshore Los Suenos fishing over the past month has been absolutely going off. It is sailfish season on the Central Pacific Coast of Coast Rica, and so far it has been a record year.
The sailfish are coming in big numbers and the bite being consistent every day for over 6 weeks now. On a slow day we are getting 15 bites a day, and on a good day we are getting over 30.
Most days we have been catching at least 10-15 sailfish, and many days we are catching more. On January 30 we caught 25 sailfish out of about 40 aboard our 34' walk-around. That is red hot Costa Rica fishing with non-stop action.
Last month was the Los Suenos Billfish series where a new record was set of 1412 (sailfish and marlin) being released by 38 fishing boats over the three day fishing tournament that runs between January 10-12th.
On some days we catch ten sailfish before noon, and the Los Suenos fishing charters want something else. Some days we wind up doing some bottom fishing for grouper and snapper so the clients have a fresh seafood dinner to take home with them. The bottom fishing has been pretty good with lots of fish in the 5 to 20-pound range.
In a day of Costa Rica fishing from Los Suenos it has been quite common to catch two or three Mahi Mahi ranging from 15 – 50lbs. while trolling.
The bait has been a little slow showing up inshore here this season which makes it tough to target big roosters. Live bait is the key to catching trophy-sized rooster fish. The bait should be showing up shortly which will make it a lot easier to target them.
Short report this month as I have been slammed so far this season fishing every day. If you are looking to go fishing this season start making plans and reserve early. I get booked solid six to eight weeks in advance, as well as most of the best crews I know. If you want a good Los Suenos fishing charter and crew, do not wait until last minute.

Q: What happened to the Telvanni? What happened to the Telvanni family? They don't seem to appear in games set in later timeframes, and I was wondering if they are still around somewhere.
Please note that I'm not referring here to the Great House1 here, but to the members of the original Telvanni bloodline, those that bear this surname.
It is known that inside Great House Telvanni advancement often means killing those that have a superior rank to take their place, and I suppose it is for this reason that the Councilors (at least during the timeframe of TES3:Morrowind) don't belong to this bloodline2.
I'm pretty sure that there aren't any individuals in TES3:Morrowind that carry this surname, but I've only played this game and TES2:Daggerfall, so I can be lacking knowledge. As a term of comparison, many individuals of House Hlaalu also carry the Hlaalu surname, so it is highly reasonable to infer that the name of a Great House derives from an actual surname, possibly of the original founder bloodline.
Are there known individuals that belong to the original bloodline during other games, and it is known or at least possible to reconstruct the history of the family and what happened to them, to make them basically disappear during the timeframe of Morrowind?

1. A Dunmer Great House is something similar to a clan / political party, not unlike what an Ancient Roman Gens was. Basically, it is an enlarged clan that can be joined not only by birth but also by marriage, adoption, and possibly other means.
2. Granted, the Councilors are mainly known only by name, but I think that it is reasonable to infer that belonging to the original Telvanni bloodline was something of high prestige, so if someone was indeed a true Telvanni, it would have used the surname.

A: Nobody with the surname "Telvanni" exists anymore
There are no characters with the surname "Telvanni" in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall or in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (although there is Tonas Telvani, who has a different spelling in her name and is not associated with the Great House). Nor are there any in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion or The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. So I think it's safe to say there are no people from the original bloodline alive by the Third and Fourth Eras.
This is in sharp contrast to The Elder Scrolls Online, set during the Second Era, in which there are a number of living Telvannis (e.g. Kalina Telvanni) and spirit Telvannis (e.g. Fyrayn Telvanni).
My take is that, since the Great Houses can be joined by any interested person (as the hero of Morrowind discovers) anybody from the Telvanni line was long ago killed off, leaving only those who joined of their own volition. This explains why there are no councillors with that name. Besides, I imagine that being a descendent of the original Telvannis made you a big target for their assassination-promotion system.
But was somebody supposed to be part of it?
The closest thing to this is the in-game book Lymdrenn Tenvanni's Journal, written in 4E 6 (six years after the events of Oblivion), which describes how House Telvanni was destroyed, but Lymdrenn survived and gave birth to a son, Brandyl. Is "Tenvanni" a typo of "Telvanni" given that L and N are close together on the keyobard? Who knows.

Since the death of my wife, I haven't been able to bring myself to give my son a proper name. It never felt right without her. But my own life reaches its final hours as the luxury of time is [sic] escapes my embrace. I name him now: Brandyl, son of Lymdrenn and sole living heir to House Telvanni. I will wrap him in his t'lonya, his birthing swaddle and leave his fate to Azura's will.
–Lymdrenn Tenvanni's Journal, first appearing in Skyrim

We know that House Telvanni still exists by the time of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, given that Brelyna Maryon is part of it, but again, nobody with the surname is around any more.

Fine diamonds are among the most covered of all gems. Their value however, differs widely from one diamond to another. Experts evaluate every diamond for rarity and beauty, using four primary guidelines. These are called The Four Cs - Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight.
When you think of the cut, you probably think of the shape of the diamond. You are partially correct. While cut does refer to shape, it also refers to the propositions of how the diamond is actually cut.
Diamonds are cut into many different shapes, reflecting not only popular taste but the proportions ,and quality of the rough diamond. The most popular shapes include Round, Oval, Square, Princess, Emerald, Baguette and Marquise cuts. Many specialty shapes are also available.
A diamond's overall proportions, as well as the size and placement of its many reflective surfaces or facets play a large part in "cut." The consistency and balance of these can greatly affect how the stone captures light and reflects it back to the eye.
With the exception of fancy colored diamonds, the most valuable diamonds are those with the least color. The color scale for transparent diamonds goes from D-F (colorless), G-J (near colorless), K-M (faint yellow), to Z (light yellow). Completely colorless diamonds are rare.
When diamonds are formed with traces of other minerals, rare and beautiful colors can result. These "fancy" colors range from blue and brilliant yellow to red, brown, pale green, pink and violet. Because of their rarity, colored diamonds are highly desirable and may be quite valuable.
A diamond's clarity is measured by the existence, or absence, of visible flaws. Tiny surface blemishes or internal inclusions - even those seen only under magnification with a lOx jeweler's loupe - can alter the brilliance of the diamond and thus, affect its value. Clarity levels begin with Flawless (FL & IF) followed by Very Very Slight (VVS 1 & 2), Very Slight (VS1 & 2). Slightly Included (SI1 & 2), and Included (I1, 2, & 3).
The size of a diamond is measured, not by its dimensions, but by weight. One carat, the traditional unit of measurement for diamonds, is equal to approximately 0.2 grams. You may also hear the weight of a diamond referred to in points. A point is equal to 1/100 of a carat therefore, a 75-point diamond equals 0.75 carat. Diamonds of equal weight may appear slightly different in size, depending on their depth and proportions. Because they are quite rare, larger diamonds of gem quality are much more valuable.

Michael Fassbender in character as Frank, at the Westway in New York, August 5, 2014.
When you look around and see Jack White, Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Jimmy McNulty from The Wire, you can bet that something weird is about to happen.
That was the deal at the Westway last night, on Manhattan's surprisingly Baltimore-ish Far West Side, where Tommy Hilfiger co-hosted an after-party for a bizarre but endearing new film called Frank, with Fassbender in the title role, as a mentally ill rock singer who spends every waking hour with a giant papier-mâché cartoon head over his own. Gyllenhaal plays the emotionally and at times physically violent "instrumentalist" who is probably in love with him. And Domhnall Gleeson (remember him from that time-travel rom-com About Time?) plays the naïve kid who uses social media to bring Frank and his band of misfits to a bigger audience, with semi-disastrous results.
Gleeson's character is based on Jon Ronson, a British journalist who co-wrote the screenplay and based it on his own experiences playing keys for the "real" Frank. Frank Sidebottom was a character played by comedian and musician Chris Sievey, who did take the mask off from time to time—"though he sometimes wore it for a lot longer than you might imagine," Ronson told me.
Sievey died in 2010, but he gave his full backing to the film—and put his stamp on it, Ronson said, by insisting that no reference to his actual identity be included. That forced/inspired the filmmakers to turn Frank into an intriguing cipher—a guy who is so out there that he never shows his own face. And that, in turn, leads to the inevitable question: What is his real face? Is it the flesh-and-blood one he was born with, or the cartoonish creation he chose for himself?
Fassbender is, above all, a phenomenal physical actor, and his body language is so eloquent that at times you'd swear that Frank's big cartoon face was smiling or pouting, laughing or crying. He cruised through the bar at the Westway, showing off his own much-admired visage, before strapping on the head helmet and performing one of the songs from the film. "I love you walllllll," he droned in a resonant baritone that called to mind Joy Division's Ian Curtis.
An encouragingly cheerful __Jack White __, a real-life collaborator with Frank's drummer Carla Azar, had a front-row view of the festivities. And the aforementioned McNulty, actor Dominic West, clung close to director Lenny Abrahamson. Those two go way back—they shot a short together in 1991.
After one song, the band—Gyllenhaal and Gleeson among them—shut off their instruments. Why play more when even one brief tune was enough to trigger a thousands cell-phone flashes—and fill a few dozen influential Instagram streams?

you take an opaque box, a live cat, some poisonous gas and a device that will release the gas at random. The chance of the gas being released is 50%, and if it is, the cat dies. You put it all in the box and close the lid.
the cat will either be alive or dead. As it is in an opaque box and we cannot know, what state is in, we can say the chance of it being alive is 50%. We can say that the cat's state is 50% alive and 50% dead.
OK, so, firstly, it's a thought experiment. You could, I suppose, do it for real, but that would be pointless and cruel.
The conclusion does not really mean that the cat is 50% dead and 50% alive. It's an idea to try to explain something in quantum mechanics. It's to do with observation. It doesn't matter what you think the cat is, you can only find out whether it really is alive by observing it in some way (eg lift the lid). In quantum mechanics, the act of observation can affect the object you are observing, but it only applies to very small objects, not cats. This is an analogy, so don't add more to it than there is.
The person I was chatting with understood it to mean that the cat would literally be half dead and half alive, in some kind of transitional state. And this highlights a problem to do with analogies, and the rather deplorable lack of even general knowledge about science.
It goes with the argument "we don't understand everything about science, so ghosts and parapsychology and human invisibility could easily exist".
I used to enjoy Maths. At school, it was my favourite subject. I was not the greatest at it, but it made sense to me.
Partly, i suppose, I got it from my dad, who had that kind of mind and was good with numbers. I had some great teachers. But mainly, it was logical, more so than History, for example, which was all about learning unrelated facts, something I can never do. I mean, look at the dates of Kings and Queens of England and tell me the logic behind it. None, of course. Chemistry was similar. Possibly there was some kind of logical system in naming organic and inorganic compounds, but it was never explained to me.
We didn't have calculators in my day. We used books of tables, and great fun it was. You really understood sines and cosines, and could do logarithms like nobody's business.
I taught Maths in school for a lot of years, and enjoyed it when apparently unrelated topics finally came together and the pupils could see links between, say, trigonometry, complex numbers and hyperbolic functions.
When I would go out, people would often ask 'what do you do?' and I told them. Usually you would get 'I hated Maths'. Sometimes 'when do I ever need to calculate the area of a parallelogram?' I do understand that not every person enjoys every subject, and that is fine. But studying Maths helps you think rationally and logically. When presented right it can be really fascinating.
I am sure Stephen Hawking would have agreed.

Религия в Новой Зеландии — совокупность религиозных верований, присущих народам этой страны. Новая Зеландия является многоконфессиональной страной и не имеет официальной религии. По состоянию на 2013 год большинство (48 %) населения Новой Зеландии исповедует христианство, 42 процента новозеландцев нерелигиозны, около 6 процентов исповедуют религии, не являющиеся ответвлениями христианства, среди них крупнейшая — индуизм.

Несмотря на отсутствие государственной религии, монарх обязан исповедовать англиканство. Свобода вероисповедания защищается с момента подписания Договора Вайтанги.

До европейской колонизации религией местного населения — маори — был анимизм. Позднее миссионеры-христиане обратили большинство маори в христианство. Среди мигрантов-европейцев, поселившихся в Новой Зеландии, большинство приехало с Британских островов, они основали англиканскую, католическую и пресвитерианскую церкви страны. Шотландские мигранты селились в основном в Отаго и Саутленде, поэтому там самой крупной конфессией было пресвитерианство, в остальных регионах доминировало англиканство. Хотя 47,5 % новозеландцев и называют себя христианами, регулярно посещающих церкви скорее всего около 15 %.

С 1990-х количество христиан постоянно уменьшается, а нерелигиозных — растёт. С началом регулярной миграции в страну из Азии увеличилось и число религиозных не-христиан.

Общие сведения
По данным переписи 2013 года 48 % населения определили себя как христиан.
Распределение по религиозной принадлежности жителей страны следующее:

Христианство

После прибытия в Новую Зеландию большого количества европейцев (в основном британцев), а также обращения маори в христианство, оно стало крупнейшей религией страны.

Крупнейшие деноминации христианства мало изменились в период 2001—2006 годов: число католиков и методистов увеличилось, англикан, пресвитериан, конгрегационалистов и реформистов снизилось. Среди малых направлений христианства наибольший рост показало православие (+ 37,8 %), евангельские христиане, рождённые свыше и фундаменталисты (+ 25,6 %), пятидесятники (+ 17,8 %).

Несмотря на то, что позиции христианства остаются сильны, посещаемость новозеландских церквей всегда была в среднем ниже, чем церквей в Западных странах. Оценки посещения церквей находятся в рамках 10—20 процентов; Библейское общество Новой Зеландии указало в своём исследовании 2008 года, что 15 % новозеландцев посещают церковь хотя бы еженедельно, а 20 % — не реже, чем ежемесячно.

Традиционные верования

Религия маори — язычество, его исторически исповедовали и отчасти исповедуют сейчас маори Новой Зеландии. Характеризуется анимизмом и развитым культом предков. Интересна сложной системой мифологии, сходной в основном с главными мифами народов Полинезии. Христианство вытеснило традиционные верования маори и сегодня большинство маори являются христианами.

Маори создали две синкретические религии на основе христианства: ратана и .

Ислам

Ислам попал в Новую Зеландию из Азии вместе с мигрантами в середине XIX века. Но рост мусульманской общины начиная с 1990-х годов. Увеличение количества мусульман связано, главным образом, с постоянным притоком в страну беженцев из таких стран, как Фиджи, Сомали, Афганистан, Ирак, Босния и Герцеговина. Кроме того, свой вклад в этот процесс вносят многочисленные студенты из Малайзии и Сингапура. Около 1000 маори приняли ислам. Всего мусульман 1,2 процента.

Иудаизм

Иудаизм начал проникать на территорию Новой Зеландии в середине XIX века в месте с еврейскими иммигрантами. В 2013 году 0,2 % населения Новой Зеландии идентифицировано как иудеи, по сравнению с переписью 2006 года иудеев стало на 200 человек больше. Наибольшие иудейские общины существуют в таких городах как Окленд, Веллингтон и Данидин. В Данидине работает самая южная синагога в мира.

Бахаи

Последователи религии бахаи появились в Новой Зеландии в начале XX века. С того времени вера бахаи динамично развивается. В 1924 году было организовано Национальное духовное собрание бахаи Новой Зеландии. В 1957 году бахаи Новой Зеландии избрали своё первое Национальное духовное собрание.
К 1963 году в стране было четыре больших собрания и 18 населенных пунктов с меньшими группами бахаи. В переписи населения 2006 года сообщается о 2800 бахаи в 45 местных ассамблеях и около 20 небольших групп бахаи. По оценкам Управления делами религии, в 2005 году насчитывалось около 7400 бахаи.

Другие религии
Индуизм, буддизм в Новой Зеландии является религией меньшинства. В основном эти религии исповедуют иммигранты из Азии и их потомки.

Благодаря рассылке по электронной почте в 2001 году более 53 000 человек указали, что являются джедаями. Если бы этот ответ сочли валидным, их доля составила бы 1,5 % от ответивших и джедайство стало бы самой крупной религией страны после христианства, однако  включило их в пункт «ответ понят, но не будет включён в подсчёт». В 2006 году джедаев стало вдвое меньше (20 000).

Q: Almost uniform convergence on an open set, pointwise convergence on a closed set and an equality of a limit of an integral of the sequence to examine. $f_n: [a,b] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a function series of continous functions almost uniformly convergent on $(a,b)$ and convergent pointwise on $[a,b]$. Examine if
$$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}\int_a^b f_n(x)\, dx = \int_a^b \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} f_n(x)\, dx .$$
I've been wondering how to use the pointwise convergence and continuity. I do not know if such conditions preserve uniform convergence on the entire $[a,b]$.
My attempt to prove it occurs, was about defining a sequence of partitions, where, we know,  there is uniform convergence on every subinterval of the partition except the two external and somehow bound the product of their suprema/infima and the subinterval lenght by defining such partition sequence. But this way I am not aware of the way for using either the pointwise convergence or the continuity.

A: For $a=0$ and $b=1$ let $f_n(x)=(n+1)x^n(1-x^n).$ Then $f_n$ is convergent uniformly to $0$ on any interval $[0,1-\delta]$ as
$$0\le f_n(x)\le (n+1)(1-\delta)^n,\qquad 0\le x\le 1-\delta $$
Moreover $f_n(1)=0.$ But
$$\int\limits_0^1f_n(x)\,dx =1-{n+1\over 2n+1}\to {1\over 2}$$

Dodgers Announce 2016 Coaching staff
The Dodgers have announced their Major League coaches for the 2016 season, with Pitching Coach Rick Honeycutt returning for an 11th season and Bob Geren joining the field staff as bench coach, Turner Ward as hitting coach, George Lombard as first base coach, Chris Woodward as third base coach, Josh Bard as bullpen coach, Tim Hyers as assistant hitting coach and Juan Castro as quality assurance coach. In addition, Steve Yeager will return for a fifth season as the club's catching instructor.
Dave Roberts – Manager (first season)
Bob Geren – Bench Coach (first season)
Rick Honeycutt – Pitching Coach (11th season)
Turner Ward – Hitting Coach (first season)
George Lombard – First Base Coach (first season)
Chris Woodward – Third Base Coach (first season)
Josh Bard – Bullpen Coach (first season)
Tim Hyers – Assistant Hitting Coach (first season)
Juan Castro – Quality Assurance Coach (first season)
Steve Yeager – Coach (fifth season)
Geren, 54, joins the Dodgers as bench coach following four seasons in the same position for the New York Mets. Prior to his time in New York, Geren spent 13 seasons in the Athletics' organization, where he was a minor league manager for four years (1999-2002) before joining Oakland's Major League staff as bullpen coach (2003-05) and bench coach (2006). In 2007, he was named the Athletics' manager and guided the club to a 334-376 record (.470) over four seasons until June 9, 2011. Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Geren played 15 professional seasons as a catcher in the Padres, Cardinals, Yankees and Red Sox organizations, including five big league seasons.
Honeycutt, 61, returns for an 11th season as Dodger pitching coach, with his tenure now extending to working under a fourth manager in Dave Roberts. Since he took the reins as pitching coach in 2006, the Dodgers lead all Major League teams in ERA (3.65), opponents' batting average (.247), strikeouts (12,605) and WHIP (1.27). Honeycutt, who pitched 21 big league seasons from 1977-97, is the third-longest tenured pitching coach in Los Angeles history, behind only Ron Perranoski (1981-1994) and Red Adams (1969-1980).
Ward, 50, joins the Dodgers following eight seasons in the Arizona organization, including three years on the D-backs' Major League staff as hitting coach (2014-15) and assistant hitting coach (2013). Under Ward's tutelage, last season, Arizona produced two Silver Sluggers (first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and center fielder A.J. Pollock) and led the NL in hits (1,494).
Lombard, who spent part of the 2008 season in the Dodger organization as a non-roster invitee and at Triple-A, returns to the club as first base coach following six seasons coaching in Boston's minor league system. For the last three seasons, Lombard was Boston's minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator).
Woodward, 39, joins the Dodgers following two seasons as the Mariners' first base coach. He began his coaching career in 2013 as Seattle's minor league infield coordinator following 12 Major League seasons with the Blue Jays (1999-2004), Mets (2005-06), Braves (2007), Mariners (2009-10) and Red Sox (2009).
Bard, 37, enters the coaching ranks as the Dodgers' bullpen coach following three years in the club's front office as a special assistant (2013) and professional scout (2014-15). The former backstop played in 10 Major League seasons with the Indians (2002-05), Red Sox (2006), Padres (2006-08), Nationals (2009) and Mariners (2010-11) before finishing his career with the Dodger organization in 2012 as a non-roster invitee and at Triple-A.
Hyers, 44, takes over as Los Angeles' assistant hitting coach after three years as the Red Sox's minor league hitting coordinator. This appointment will mark Hyers' first time on a permanent big league staff, though he served as Boston's interim hitting coach for part of the 2014 season while Greg Colbrunn took a medical leave of absence.
Castro, who spent the last two seasons as the Dodgers' minor league infield coordinator, assumes the newly-created role as the club's quality assurance coach. The 43-year-old immediately joined the Dodgers' front office as a special assistant following his retirement as a player on July 10, 2011, concluding a 17-year big league career with the Dodgers (1995-99, 2009, 2010, 2011), Reds (2000-04, 2006-08), Twins (2005-06), Orioles (2008) and Phillies (2010). The sure-handed infielder was originally signed by the Dodgers as an amateur free agent out of Mexico on June 18, 1991.
Yeager, 67, enters his fifth season as the Dodgers' catching instructor and will work with the club's Major League backstops in both Spring Training and throughout the season. Known as a stellar defensive catcher during his 15-year big league career, including 14 years with the Dodgers, Yeager was a member of the 1981 World Series championship team and was named tri-MVP of the Fall Classic along with Ron Cey and Pedro Guerrero. Yeager was originally drafted by the Dodgers in the fourth round of the 1967 Amateur Draft and has worked on the club's behalf at many community events through the years.

AMD opening shop in the Middle East?
By Andy Patrizio | November 04, 2009
It looks like AMD and Globalfoundries are going to set up shop in Dubai after taking a hefty chunk of change from an investment firm based in the emirate. AMD CEO Dirk Meyer told Emirates Business that the firm is looking to a open chip design center in Dubai, and maybe a fabrication plant in Abu Dhabi.
"We have chip design centers around the world, including in India and China, and the capabilities by Dubai Silicon Oasis present interesting future opportunities. In time we will [design chips in the UAE], and it's hard to be specific on the time frame. There is a definite opportunity in such a partnership," said Meyer.
The Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA) is a proposed massive integrated technology park intended to create a Silicon Valley for the Middle East to lure offices for the major players in the semiconductor industry, except this would be design on the large scale like everything else in Dubai. The intention is to provide a giant "technology oasis" for all of these firms, with housing, commercial and other considerations all close to work.
But the first priority is a new Globalfoundries fab in Abu Dhabi. "The top priority for AMD is to deepen our partnership with ATIC and Globalfoundries, which continues to expand its partner pool to make sure that infrastructure in Abu Dhabi gets ready for a fabrication plant in the future," said Meyer.
Meyer went on to say that "as a company, we will want to participate fully in the market through our sales and marketing team and make sure people are IT savvy. Acquisitions are not on the agenda presently but could be a possibility over a period of time."
Such talk and interest is not surprising, given Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) owns approximately two-thirds of Globalfoundries' fully-converted common stock and a large chunk of AMD as well. AMD might be bankrupt by now were it not for the ATIC bailout. ATIC's sole shareholder is the government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, making it a state-owned investment firm.

"Maricopa County says printer glitches didn't prevent anyone from voting"
November 27, 2022, 4:37 pm UncategorizedRick Hasen
WaPo:
Maricopa County, facing a storm of GOP criticism over its handling of the Nov. 8 election, said in a report issued Sunday that problems with printers that surfaced on Election Day did not violate the Arizona Constitution or other guidelines intended to ensure free and fair elections. The county instead blamed prominent Republicans for making their own supporters suspicious of a secure alternative allowing voters who encountered mechanical issues to cast ballots.
The report comes in response to a request from the Arizona attorney general's office election integrity unit for an account of the Election Day problems before the county is set to certifyits results on Monday. State certification is set for Dec. 5.
Tom Liddy, head of Maricopa County's civil division and a lifelong Republican, wrote in a five-page letter accompanying the report that "all voters were still provided reasonable, lawful options for voting." But some Republican voters might have spurned one option — a secure box known as "Door 3" — because GOP leaders, including the state party chair, told voters not to use it, according to the report.
The county's response aims to undercut claims circulated in recent weeks by Republican candidates in Arizona who have refused to accept the results of the election, in contrast to unsuccessful GOP contestants in other states. The posture of these GOP candidates has made Arizona something of a final frontier for the false claims of systematic election fraud popularized by former president Donald Trump after his 2020 loss.
Much of the in-state battle is pitting Republican officials against other Republicans who are questioning the results. The county's election board is controlled by Republicans and is led by Bill Gates, a Republican.
Kari Lake, the GOP nominee for governor who was projected nearly two weeks to lose her race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, has refused to concede, pointing to the problems in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix and more than half the state's voters. Mark Finchem, the GOP candidate for secretary of state who lost by more than 100,000 votes, has said the issues justify a "new election."

I know this short article is not going to win me any mates, and probably will make me a lot of enemies, but I have to get this off my chest. No matter whether it really is premium dog food and cat food from brands like Black Hawk, Royal Canin, Advance, Pro Program, Canidae , Eukanuba, Hills Science Diet program, and IAMS to flea treatment options and other drugs from Sentinel, Advocate, Frontline, Comfortis, Advantix and Revolution.
I had been dog hunting, missing the companionship, missing anything to love and stumbled across the rainbow bridge poem plus this wonderful column months ago, which I give a extremely major thank you for All of the dogs i was researching, just weren't proper.
How we are able to supply you unearthly discounts on most well-liked dog and cat meals brands, fish meals and Aquarium supplies, is by basically erasing the cliched middle man and by passing the supply chain rewards directly to you. When your pet runs out of flea protection the last issue you need is to jump on the net only to uncover that the solution you final purchased on sale is now complete price. If you are looking for a small bit more help deciding on your pet meals on-line or in our Sydney Pet shops do not hesitate to contact the StefmarPet care help line.
If you're not house or are unable to supervise your dog, place him in a crate You might believe it sounds cruel, but I guarantee you that after a brief while in the crate your young dog will start off to locate comfort by getting in it. Apart from, if your dog can't get on your bed, he cannot pee in your bed.
My husband had a dog prior to we got married and while she is a superior dog, I under no circumstances wanted yet another dog. I am so sad I lost my 15 year old yellow lab dog last evening and My loved ones desires one more dog but I don't know when I will be prepared. The residents at The Greens produced a small, fenced-off dog park, however a friend of mine took her elderly lengthy-haired dachsund who was right away attached by two significant dogs operating around off-leash.

Since September I did start to study again: Chinese medecin and Qi gong. It takes a lot of time and energy but it is exciting to explore this thinking. It often feels like remembering.
Before I started I knew that collecting knowledge is not essential. More important it is, to take time to listen to the birds and feel the wind on the skin or watch the stars.

Q: Network connection breaks again and again? My PC sometimes disconnects from the network. By disconnecting I mean without any possible reason. My system shows no error in network, no problem with the router and how do I know its only my PC problem because all other PC's—laptops and smart devices—do not disconnect its only my PC.
And after sometimes the connection again gets complete, I also have to give my PC a static IP because it otherwise shows IP conflict error, I have reinstalled the OS several times but didn't work then may be its hardware problem
And one thing is confusing that any download with torrent and any game server stays connected but things like opening a web page gets problem.
Also a couple of weaks ago I tinkered with the NIC card by enabling and disabling its promisc mode but i dont think its because of that or may be it is. So any suggestion.
I am using Windows XP SP3 and somtimes Windows 7. My machine is A Dell Pentium 4 Optiplex GX270 with 2GB ram, 3.2 ghz processor, BIOS version A07 and NIC is Intel(R)PRO/1000 MT Network connection.
