Game saved - Eggerland Episode 0: Quest of Rara

is a puzzle game released in 1996 by HAL Laboratory for Windows. It is based off of the Japanese Eggerland video game series.  This game was the first of two Windows releases and is a demo, consisting of 30 stages, to show players what the full-version release of Revival! Eggerland would be capable of when it was launched on June 15, 2000 (Revival contained 194 stages). [1]

For more information on how to play this game, see the Eggerland series article.


Game information

This game features vastly improved graphics from the prior releases, most of which had been released on home consoles that offered inferior graphic capabilities with compared with most personal computers.

The game features a saved game instead of passwords, so players can simply pick up where they left off.

A new object called a Crystal Framer was added. This is a pushable block, like an Emerald Framer, which can block enemy movements and shots. In addition, Rara or as she’s known outside of Japan Lala can shoot a shot and it will be reflected clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the type of Crystal Framer). This allows Rara to put monsters such as Medusas or Don Medusas in eggs.


Construction mode

The game allows players to create their own “Eggerland” maps with a level creation program known as “Construct Mode.” All of the enemies and options that are available in the main game appear in Construction as well as the terrains (and accompanying music). Construction files are saved as Construct.txt which can consequently be emailed to friends and/or shared online, and this has become the norm among many Eggerland communities. The 2000 release of Revival! Eggerland includes more available terrains and music files, but the two can load the same files (though Eggerland 0 will not display the new terrain objects from Revival).

Additionally, players can rename CONSTRUCT.TXT to EGGLAND1.MAP (if using Revival! Eggerland) or EGGLAND0.MAP (for Episode 0). This will allow players to play their custom maps just as they would play the normal game. When they select New Game, the game will load their custom map instead of the game’s default file. Playing a custom map as a .MAP file as opposed to a .TXT file will allow players to save their progress whenever they wish and resume later (this is especially helpful for long and difficult maps). However, they will want to rename the game’s original file to something like EGGLAND1.ORIGINAL.MAP so as not to overwrite the file. They simply need to revert this in order to play the original game again. [2]


Known bugs

The game tends not to run correctly on Windows XP. To fix the problem, one must change the compatibility mode to Windows 95/98. The midi music can also interfere with gameplay. The option screen can be used to disable music, which should make the game run correctly.

Save - Hold (baseball)

This article regards one of several statistical measures of effectiveness for relief pitchers. For the process of keeping runners from advancing, see baserunner hold.


Definition

A hold (abbreviated H) is awarded to a relief pitcher who:

  1. enters the game in a save situation; that is, one of the following three conditions applies:

    • his team has a lead of no more than three runs (and he pitches at least one inning)
    • the potential tying run is either on base, at bat, or on deck
    • he pitches for at least three innings after entering the game
  2. records at least one out;
  3. and leaves the game without his team having relinquished the lead at any point.

Note that since the hold is not an official MLB statistic, the definition above can vary. One noticeable difference is that while STATS Inc. requires the pitcher to record at least one out for a hold, SportsTicker does not have this requirement. This can result in discrepancies in hold totals between different sources.<ref>Rob Neyer FAQ</ref>


Description

A hold should not be confused with its more famous cousin, the save, even though technically all pitchers who earn holds have (by definition) entered the game with an opportunity to save the game.

Holds are widely considered to be a problematic statistic, as a player can receive a hold for even a relatively ineffective performance. For instance, if a player enters with a 1-run lead, records one out, loads the bases, and is pulled, that player would still be credited with a hold. In fact, it is even possible for a player to receive a hold and a loss in the same game (in the preceding example, if the next pitcher then gave up a home run, the original pitcher would take the loss, as he was responsible for the runners on base). Using the SportsTicker definition makes it even worse — for instance, a pitcher can come in with a 2-run lead, give up a home run to the only batter he faces, leave, and still be credited with a hold.

Unlike saves, wins, and losses, more than one pitcher per team can earn a hold for a game, though it is not possible for a pitcher to receive more than one hold in a given game. A pitcher can receive a hold by protecting a lead even if that lead is lost by a later pitcher after his exit.

The hold was invented in 1986 by John Dewan and Mike O’Donnell to give a statistical measure of the effectiveness of the vast majority of relief pitchers who are afforded few opportunities to close a game. While middle relievers earn their share, holds are most often credited to setup pitchers.

While holds are not an official MLB statistic, they are increasingly visible in many box scores, including MLB.com<ref>MLB Miscellany: Rules, regulations and statistics</ref>. Many fantasy baseball providers also include holds as an optional category which can be included in customized leagues.

Ways - Combinatorial proof

The term combinatorial proof is often used in either of two senses:

  • A proof by double counting. A combinatorial identity is proven by counting some carefully chosen object in two different ways to obtain different expressions in the statement. Since those expressions count the same object, they must be equal to each other and thus the statement is established. Finding such a proof generally requires seeing the two expressions as answers and seeking a corresponding question. For this reason, this technique has been colloquially described as Jeopardy! proof, after the TV game show with the gimmick of providing answers and requiring questions.
  • A bijective proof. Two sets are shown to have the same number of members by exhibiting a bijection, i.e. a one-to-one correspondence, between them.


Examples


Double counting

A subcommittee of k members is chosen from a committee of n members, and then one of the k members of the subcommittee is chosen to be the chair. The number of ways to do this is

<math>{n \choose k} k.</math>

Alternatively, we first choose the chair from among all n members of the original committee and then choose the k − 1 other subcommittee members from among the n − 1 other members of the original committee. The number of ways to do this is

<math>n{n - 1 \choose k - 1}.</math>

Therefore, we conclude that

<math>{n \choose k}k = n{n - 1 \choose k - 1}.</math>

A similar technique proves Vandermonde’s identity.


Bijective proof

Suppose we wish to show that the number of size-k subsets of a size-n set is the same as the number of size-(n − k) subsets of a size-n set, i.e., that

<math>{n \choose k} = {n \choose n - k}.</math>

This can be accomplished by exhibiting a bijection between the set of all size-k subsets and the set of all size-(n − k) subsets. One such bijection—probably the simplest—is the correspondence between each size-k subset and its complement relative to the larger size-n set.


Benefit of the approach

Any correct mathematical proof of a result is completely sufficient to establish the truth of that result, so in that sense multiple proofs of a single result are interchangeable. But a proof is often valued not only for demonstrating that a result holds, but also for illustrating why it holds. From this perspective, combinatorial proofs are often highly sought after.

As an example, consider again the binomial coefficient, the number of k-element subsets that can be formed from an n-element set. The well-known formula for this is

<math> {n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{k! (n-k)!}, </math>

and it can be proven by mathematical induction. But writing—or reading—such a proof of this formula is a dry exercise in using a few definitions and performing some routine arithmetic and algebra. Now consider this combinatorial proof that uses double counting…

Question: In how many ways can you select k children for special honors from a class of size n?
Answer 1: This amounts to selecting a k-subset, which can be done in <math>n \choose k</math> ways.
Answer 2: Line the children against the wall and merely take the first <math>k</math> of them, which can be done in <math>n!</math> ways. But <math>n!</math> is an overestimate of our answer because we do not care how the honorees, the first <math>k</math> children, arrange themselves in line, so we must divide by <math>k!</math>. And this is still an overestimate, because we also don’t care how the remaining <math>n - k</math> children are arranged, so we must divide by a further <math>(n - k)!</math>.
Conclusion: Since they are answers to the same question, answers 1 and 2 must be equal.

School: King Edward - Thomas Vaughan (soldier)

Thomas Vaughan (c. 1410 – 1483) was a soldier and diplomat, an adherent of Jasper Tudor and King Henry VI of England. Despite this, he was a Yorkist by inclination, as were so many Welshmen of the time, and became ambassador to the courts of Burgundy and France on behalf of the Yorkist King Edward IV. He was knighted in 1475, on the day King Edward’s eldest son was invested as Prince of Wales, having acted for some years as chamberlain to the young prince. Following the sudden deposition of the prince as King Edward V, Vaughan was arrested and executed by the future King Richard III.

Save - Save the Greenback

Save the Greenback is an organization of U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing employees and paper and ink suppliers opposed to phasing out the paper dollar. The group formed to counter the influence of the Coin Coalition.

Public opinion has tended to favor the dollar bill, although in 2000, the Government Accountability Office reported that a full implementation of the dollar coin could save $500 million a year.<ref></ref> ‘Save the Greenback’ successfully prevented a dollar bill phaseout with the help of legislators such as Mississippi Senator Trent Lott and Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy. Lott’s constituency includes the powerful cotton industry, which produces fabrics used in the paper dollar; Kennedy’s includes the Crane Paper Company which produces American banknote paper.


Portrayal In Media

In 2006 and 2007, Car Manufacturer Kia Motors used the group’s name in a car discount campaign. In the TV campaigns, the group was portrayed as a group similar to Greenpeace, with a mission to save money.

Saved - Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (song)

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” is a song written by Michael Cleveland for R&B/dance group Indeep. It features vocals from Reggie and Rose Marie Ramsey, and its protagonists recall how they were bored to death until a DJ played a hot song and saved their lives by giving new energy to the night. The song was released as a single in 1982 and became the most popular and successful hit released by their record label, Sound of New York. In the U.S. “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” reached number ten on the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart and number two on the Club Singles chart, and it peaked at number thirteen in the United Kingdom. The track appears as the third track of the namesake album released in 1983.

Rolling Stone magazine declared the song “one of the greatest songs ever written about being a girl, listening to the radio or any combination of the two”,<ref>[1]</ref> and in 2005 editors of Blender magazine placed it at number 406 on their “500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born” list. The song also provided the inspiration for the title of the book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey (2000). Because of the limited success of Indeep’s later releases, the group’s first single was their only hit and placed them into the one-hit wonder category of artists. In 2004 UK house/trance music producer Seamus Haji made several popular remixes of the song through his own label, Big Love Records, and released them on a 12″ single titled “Last Night a DJ Saved My Wife (ATFC mixes)”.


Mariah Carey Cover

American pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey co-produced a cover of “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life” with DJ Clue and Duro for her tenth album, Glitter. Carey’s version of the song features rapped verses from Fabolous and rapped lines from Busta Rhymes, and it is heard during a scene in the film Glitter in which Carey starred. It was released as the album’s sixth and final single in 2001 in Spain on a strictly promotional basis to boost the album’s slow sales, as the preceding singles from the album had performed poorly. Because of its limited release and conflict between Carey and Virgin Records, the single’s video (directed by Sanaa Hamri) was not released until late 2002/early 2003 through Carey’s online fan club.


Trivia

  • The song’s title and lyrics were an inspiration for the pamphlet ‘An Airbag Saved My Life’ which inspired Radiohead’s song “Airbag” on OK Computer (1997).
  • This song was featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, on Fever 105.
  • This song was also sampled by the boys band Five for the song If Ya Gettin’ Down.
  • The song is also featured in Paniq’s album mentalmilestones, as the basis for the song “Last Night (WTF Remix)”.
  • The song’s title lyrics have been incorporated into the song “Voglia Di Dance All Night” by Eiffel 65.
  • The song was the inspiration for “Last night a DJ killed my dog” from the 2000 album Analog Worms Attack by Mr. Oizo.
  • The phrase is used in the song Request Line by Black Eyed Peas featuring Macy Gray

Save - Irish Peatland Conservation Council

The Irish Peatland Conservation Council (IPCC) is a national organisation established in 1982 to conserve and protect a representative sample of Irish bogs. Its headquarters are located at the Bog of Allen Nature Centre, Lullymore, Rathangan, Co. Kildare. The Bog of Allen Nature Centre was acquired by IPCC in 2003 and since then work has been ongoing to develop an internationally recognised centre for peatland conservation, education and research. IPCC’s conservation aims and objectives are set out in a series of Action Plans the most recent being Bogs and Fens of Ireland Conservation Plan 2005. An account of the first fifteen years of the Save the Bogs Campaign is contained in Save the Bogs Story. These and other publications can be ordered through IPCC’s website [1]. IPCC’s also produces a twice-yearly campaign newsletter Peatland News which goes out to Friends of the Bog. The Friend of the Bog scheme is one means by which members of the public and become involved in and help the Save the Bogs Campaign. Other fundraising methods include special appeals, sale of symbolic share certificates in Irish bogs, a Save the Bogs card and gift catalogue, raffles, open days and sales of work, visits to the Bog of Allen Nature Centre. IPCC is a registered charity and as it is not state-funded it relies on public support to ensure its independence and influence.

Save - Royal anthem

A royal anthem is a patriotic song, much like a national anthem but specifically praising, or praying for, a monarch or royal dynasty. Such anthems are usually performed at public appearances by the monarch or during other events of royal importance. Some countries have the royal anthem be the national anthem as well; others keep them separate.


Examples

Royal anthems include:

  • “God Save the Queen”, the royal anthem in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and some of the other Commonwealth Realms. In the United Kingdom it also serves as the national anthem. In New Zealand, both “God Save the Queen” and “God Defend New Zealand” are official national anthems, although “God Save the Queen” is used only when the Queen or another member of the Royal Family is present.
  • Kungssången“, “The King’s Song”, the Swedish royal anthem.
  • Kong Kristian“, “King Christian”, the Danish royal anthem.
  • Marcha Real“, “Royal March”, the national and royal anthem of Spain.
  • Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami“, the royal anthem of Thailand.
  • Kongesangen“, Norway’s royal anthem. It is an adaptation of “God Save the Queen” and set to the same tune.
  • “Боже, Царя храни”, translated as “God Save the Tsar” or more literally as “God, Keep the Tsar”, the national anthem of the Russian Empire until 1917. It is still used in some circles of the Russian diaspora.
  • Bože pravde“, an earlier version of the Anthem of Serbia during the Kingdom, glorifying the King.
  • Ubavoj nam Crnoj Gori“, an anthem of old Regal Montenegro glorifying the Prince (and later, the King).
  • Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser“, an anthem of the former Austria-Hungary empire.

Saved - Saved by the Light

Saved by the Light (Harper Torch 1995 ISBN 0-06-100889-3) is a book by Dannion Brinkley describing his near-death experience (NDE). Brinkley was struck by lightning and was clinically dead for approximately twenty-eight minutes. Upon reviving, he told a tale of a dark tunnel, a crystal city, and a “cathedral of knowledge” where thirteen angels shared with him over a hundred revelations about the future — some of which have supposedly come true.

The book was adapted for a 1995 FOX TV movie of the same name starring Eric Roberts, and debuted as one of the highest rated television movies in that network’s history. Since originally airing, it has been in regular circulation on the Lifetime television network.

Save - Forty forty

Forty forty is a children’s game in the style of the popular game “It”. Like “It”, there is one player that is “on”, or “it”, who must capture the other players. However, unlike “it”, no physical contact is required.

The game begins with deciding which player is “it” and what landmark (tree/bench/lampost) is base. Once decided, the players who are not “it” run away and hide, while the “it” counts to a certain number (usually 40 or 100). The “it” looks for the other players, while they try to get to base without being seen.

If a player gets to base without being seen, he/she shouts “forty forty home” and is then safe. He/she then waits at base for the remainder of the game. In order to catch someone, the “it” must see the person, run back, touch the base and say “forty forty I see [name]”.

Players that are caught by the “it” return to base, but are not safe. The last person to be caught by the end of the game is “it” for the next game. This encourages non-”it” players to head for base as soon as possible, so that they are not the last caught player. Some variants make the first person caught “it” for the next game.

Variant rules include being able to “save” caught players at the base, thus making them safe from being “it” next round, or the possibility of “save all”. The player making the save shouts “forty forty I save [name]” when they reach the base. If the last active player reaches the base without being caught, he can shout “forty forty save all”, and the game begins again with the same “it”.

Before the game begins, it is important for the person who is “it” to tell the other players that there is “No fools around base”. This means that no-one can just fool around base and get to base as soon as the counting stops. If, however, the person who is it does not make this announcement, all the players can just “fool” around base and instantly be safe when the person who is “it” finishes counting, thus making the same person “it” again, and subject to the ridicule of all the other players.

Saved - Viracocha (Inca)

Viracocha (Quechua Wiraqocha, the name of a god) was the eighth Sapa Inca of the Kingdom of Cuzco (beginning around 1410) and the third of the Hanan dynasty. His father was Yahuar Huacac, and his son was Pachacuti. His original name was Hatun Tupaq or Ripaq; he was named after the god Viracocha after having visions of the god.

He was involved in the final struggle between the Incas and the Chancas (of modern-day Apurímac, west of Cuzco). Unfortunately, chroniclers differ on whether he was a hero or a coward. According to some, such as Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, his father Yahuar Huacac abandoned the capital under the attack of the Chancas; Viracocha defeated the enemy and saved the city. Others, such as Pedro Cieza de León and Juan de Betanzos, claim that Viracocha abandoned the city and that his son Pachacuti saved it.

One chronicler, Sarmiento de Gamboa, states that Viracocha was the first Incan to rule the territories he conquered while his predecessors were merely content with raiding and looting them.

Slipway. - Appledore, North Devon

See Appledore for other places with the same name.

Appledore is a town on the mouth of the River Torridge, about 6 miles (10 kilometres) west of Barnstaple in the county of Devon. It is an old town with a long street of houses, including a small one which is a winner of a small house award. It is home to a lifeboat slipway and also the home of Hockings Ice Cream, a popular brand of ice cream only sold in North Devon.

The two square-rigged sail training ships of the Tall Ships Youth Trust, the Prince William and the Stavros S Niarchos, were completed by Appledore Shipbuilders, by performing substantial modifications to two bare hulls begun in Germany.


Industrial Archaeology

The Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway (B,WH&A,R) was most unusual amongst British Railways in that although it was built as a standard gauge line (4ft 8.5in) it was not joined to the rest of the railway network, despite the London and South-Western Railway having a station at Bideford, East-the-Water, meaning on the other side of the River Torridge from the main town. The line was wholly situated on the peninsula made up of Westward Ho!, Northam and Appledore with extensive sand dunes the Torridge and Taw estuary. The line closed in 1917 having been requisitioned by the War Office (Stuckey 1962).
