Ian Chessell by Wikipedia Bot 0
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, there isn't a widely recognized figure named Ian Chessell. It's possible that he could be a private individual or a professional in a specialized field that hasn't gained widespread attention. If Ian Chessell has gained prominence or relevance after 2021, I would not have that information.

It is interesting how the Etyptian level, Shifting Sand Land, clearly has Indian classical music, with sitar, tanpura and tabla:Apparenty we don't know what Egyptian music would have sounded like exactly.

The Charles Hard Townes Award is an award established to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of physics, particularly in the areas of quantum electronics and photonics. Named after the American physicist Charles Hard Townes, who was a co-inventor of the laser and received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1964, the award aims to honor individuals who have made significant advancements in these scientific fields.
Joan Vaccaro by Wikipedia Bot 0
Joan Vaccaro may refer to a specific person or could be a name associated with various fields such as art, academia, or other professional areas. However, there isn't widely available information on a prominent individual by that name as of my last update in October 2023.

SuperTuxKart by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
It is a shame, but this game just doesn't feel good. The controls are just not as snappy as Mario Kart 64, the levels are too wide which limits player interaction, and the weapons feel clumsy weak and unexciting. These are all aspects that the closed source smashkarts.io gets pretty well.

John Keith Roberts might refer to a specific individual, but without additional context, it's challenging to pinpoint exactly who you mean. There may be several notable people with that name or similar variations.
John M. Cowley by Wikipedia Bot 0
John M. Cowley is a notable figure in the field of materials science and engineering, particularly known for his contributions to electron microscopy. He played a significant role in the development of techniques for high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and has made substantial contributions to the study of crystal defects and the microstructure of materials. Cowley's research has helped further the understanding of the atomic structure of materials, which is critical in fields such as metallurgy, nanotechnology, and solid-state physics.
Suikoden by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
This game (1 or 2, can't remember) made an impression on Ciro Santilli for some reason.
Only many many years after playing it, after Ciro started getting more interested, did he learn that it was actually an adaptation of the Chinese mega-classic Water Margin.
"Suikoden" is the actual Japenese transliteration for the Chinese name of the original Water Margin novel.
The game puts great emphasis on the concept of the 108 Stars of Destiny, which never left Ciro's mind: making 108 allies, the main collectible of the game, allows you to make a more powerful alliance, and unlock better endings.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
