Some Existing Customers$quotepos = 0; ?>
What distinguishes Active Assist from Training or Support?
Support and Training are based on explaining what an ARM product can do and how to integrate it, whilst Active Assist reviews all the ARM products in your implementation to ensure they are used correctly and in line with your design goals.
Why do I need an Active Assist agreement before the first engagement starts?
This agreement is required to cover the disclosure of information which takes place during an engagement.
What happens when I take an Active Assist?
For a Design Review, there are three stages: Preparation, On-site Visit and Report. For an Implementation Assist, the visit is replaced by off-site consultancy involving a series of conference calls. The preparation stage is necessary in both cases to ensure best use is made of time spent in the main consultancy phase.
How long does an Active Assist engagement last?
Assuming the Active Assist agreement is in place, an engagement can start within a few weeks of the request. The length of the engagement will vary depending of the type of Active Assist service; a Design Review typically takes 3 to 4 days on-site, whilst an Implementation Assist is conducted over a period of months. The report is published two weeks after the engagement has concluded.
What information does the Active Assist report contain?
The Active Assist report provides a summary of the project and a detailed account of the issues, recommendations and observations made during the review.
What products can be covered by an Active Assist?
Active Assist is restricted to ARM technology. The preparation stage of the Active Assist will identify which products you are using and ensure the right experts are assigned to cover those. Please contact us to discuss any special requirements you may have.
Who delivers an Active Assist?
Active Assist reviews are delivered by senior ARM engineers from the Product Support team or the Product Development team, chosen for their relevant knowledge and experience, and backed up by the Product Support team.
What guarantees does ARM make?
ARM cannot guarantee that a Design Review will produce perfectly working silicon. ARM cannot guarantee that an Implementation Assist will exceed PPA targets. ARM can guarantee that a design will be thoroughly inspected by ARM experts who have worked with many successful designs.

This is just a generalization to get basic bearings in-game, not a perfect topographical map) Story Thus Far: Intro! Bzprpg 2011: Mata-NuiThe Story- In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying we, the ones called Matoran, to this island paradise. We were separate and without purpose, so the Great Spirit blessed us with three virtues: unity, duty, and destiny. We embraced these gifts and, in gratitude, we named our island home Mata-Nui, after the Great Spirit himself. But our happiness was not to last. Mata-Nui's brother, Makuta, was jealous of these honors and betrayed him. Makuta cast a spell over Mata-Nui, who fell into a deep slumber. Makuta's power dominated the land, as fields withered away, sunlight grew cold, and ancient values were forgotten. Still, all hope was not lost. Legends told of six mighty heroes, the Toa, who would arrive to save Mata-Nui. Time would reveal that these were not simply myths – for the Toa did appear on the shores of the island. They arrived with no memory, no knowledge of one another – but they pledged to defend Mata-Nui and its people against the darkness. Tahu, Toa of Fire. Onua, Toa of Earth. Gali, Toa of Water. Lewa, Toa of Air. Pohatu, Toa of Stone. And Kopaka, Toa of Ice. Great warriors with great power, drawn from the very elements themselves. Together, they were six heros with one destiny: to defeat Makuta and save Mata-Nui. These heroes were infallible. Or so we thought. As was their destiny, when all the masks of power were found, and their powers perfected, they descended into the Makuta's lair to confront the Master of Shadows himself, to free the Matoran of his power and awaken Mata-Nui. They disappeared into the temple of Kini-Nui… and never returned. Somehow, even the combined powers of the six Toa were not enough to defeat him. Makuta was too strong. After the Toa's disappearance, there was nothing to prevent the Master of Shadow from taking back the island; the Makuta was free to unleash his shadows once more. And unleash them… He did. The land and beasts were once again his. The rahi of the island, from the flying Nui-Rama to the crawling Mana were enslaved to Makuta's will by infected masks. But Makuta awakened even darker things to serve his will, as well. Terrifying and demonic creatures known as Rahkshi, spawn of the Master of Shadows himself, appeared, possessing the same qualities and powers of their creator - including his characteristic lack of mercy. This was over a hundred years ago. The Matoran of Mata Nui live still in fear. Many Toa have since come into being; the ailing Great Spirit has created hero after hero, but none so far have had the power or the strength of will to topple Makuta. Foreign races have washed up on the shores of the island, none able to remember from where they came. Only the fragile trust between the Koros has been enough to stave off Makuta's forces... but Unity is a virtue that is steadily losing its vitality. Duty is a dull pain that too many live under. The virtue of Destiny, however, has not run its full course. There is a new prophesy in the stars, one that brings hope to the Matoran: the rise of a new set of heroes, ones that will defeat the mighty Makuta, and save Mata-Nui. This is difficult to believe however as the Master of Shadow's hold on the island is nearly complete, his forces growing in number and force by the day. This is where my tale ends, ours meet, and yours starts, Adventurer. Who will you be? Are you a hero, a foretold one has come to fulfill the original six's destiny? Or are you a servant of the Makuta, working to make his hold complete? Your actions will reveal all. If you read the above storyline, you'll see that it is almost identical to that which we introduced at the beginning of this year. Imagine the island of Mata Nui, as it was in the 2001 story arc - but imagine that the Toa Mata failed. Since then, the island has grown more perilous, but no less innocent. The Matoran of Mata Nui try their best to go about life as it once was - fighting off Rahi is now as normal to them as enduring a storm. Toa are being created by the dozens (explains the high percentage of Toa living on the island) in an attempt to defeat Makuta. Skakdi and Vortixx, newcomers whose origins are uncertain, have been spotted by many. Some theorize that, just as Mata Nui has extended his will to increase the numbers of Toa, so too has Makuta extended his own intellect, interfering with the fates of many and landing many potential servants from other places off the coast of the island. If you read the above storyline closely, you probably also noticed that something is different from the beginning of the year: Xa-Kuta is no longer part of the story. It never existed. It never will exist. Our rationale for this can be found in the next post. Alright guys, this is the General Discussion Topic, or GD for short. Here you can talk about the game in general, catch up on recent events, or just chill out. If you have a specific question to ask staff, please use the provided links above to contact us directly, for any reason. Welcome to the game!

NGC 4258 is a Seyfert galaxy in the constellation Ursa major. It is generally agreed to have at its heart a supermassive black hole some 39 million times more massive than the Sun. Gas orbiting this black hole has formed a warped disk nearly two light years in diameter. By measuring extremely small shifts in the positions of H2O masers (water vapor that amplifies microwave radio emissions) located in this disk, scientists have been able to measure the distance to this galaxy as 23.5 million light years, a measurement the scientists say is accurate to within a million light years.
The disk is viewed nearly edge-on from Earth and orbits the black hole at a speed of more than 2 million miles per hour. Using the Very Long Baseline Array, the astronomers observed the Doppler shift of the masers at the disk's sides at 4 to 8 month intervals over more than three years. This shift, or "proper motion," combined with previous observations in which astronomers had measured the speed of the orbiting disk and ascertained the mass of the black hole, has enabled the scientists to make the distance determination.
Previous observations using Cepheid variable stars and the Hubble Space Telescope had set the distance at 27 or 29 million light years. The difference in these two distance determinations will make a significant impact on future calculations of the size and age of the Universe. For more information see the NRAO Press Release Radio Astronomers Set New Standard for Accurate Cosmic Distance Measurement.

text: I know ISPC uses mysql and this isn't to interface with ISPC in any way. My goal is to implement a shared addresss book for my client pc's who use thunderbird and outlook (not webmail, although I assume roundcube could also access it). This doesn't need to interface or use the ISPC users info at all, it can just be a standalone setup on the ISPC server. My understanding is that an LDAP server would work....yes/no? I also just found https://entic.net/CF Cloudface but I'm not sure if it's any good. since I'm keeping the administration separate from ISPC maybe that's an easier way to go??? I'd rather keep it on my own server though. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Jan. 16, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's basketball team fell to NEWMAC foe Wellesley College, 75-37, on Saturday. Sharon Prange paced the Engineers with 10 points and 11 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. With the loss, Tech drops to 3-6 overall and 0-2 in conference action.
Wellesley raced out to an 8-0 lead after 4:30 had expired into the contest. MIT's Cherelle Walls, playing in her first game this season, put her squad on the scoreboard by sinking a pair of free throws. Wellesley countered with two free throws and a basket to exted its margin to 10. On the ensuing possession, Walls collected the rebound off a missed jumper by Karen Kinnaman and set-up Kimberly Eri Soo Hoo for a three-point basket. On Wellesley's next possession, Walls forced a turnover and then cut Wellesley's lead to four (12-8) on a traditional three-point play.
Coming out of a timeout, Wellesley ended the Engineers' run by scoring its first basket in two minutes. Walls responded by connecting on a feed by Jordan-Wirfs Brock. After two free throws by Wellesley, a basket by Joanna Natsios brought MIT within four (16-12) at the 10:18 mark. This would be as close as Tech would get as Wellesley closed the half with a 24-8 run, entering the intermission with a 40-20 advantage.
Sharon Prange opened the scoring for MIT in the second stanza. A three-pointer from Kimberly Eri Soo Hoo and a basket by Karen Kinnaman soon followed. The Engineers were then held scoreless until 7:42 was remaining, when Natsios set-up Prange to end the drought. Prange then made all six of her shots from the charity stripe, tallying six of MIT's final eight points of the game.
Cherelle Walls finished the day with seven points and a pair of steals and assists. Karen Kinnaman registered six points, seven rebounds, two steals and one block. Kimberly Eri Soo Hoo had four steals, three assists and six points while Jasmin Moghbeli grabbed seven caroms.
