William Ware Theiss
–
William Ware Theiss, also called Bill Theiss, was an American costume designer for television and film. His television credits include Star Trek and Star Trek, The Next Generation and he attended Lowell High School in San Francisco. He attended Art Center College of Design at Stanford University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts, minoring in sciences, biology and he eventually moved to Los Angeles. His first Hollywood job was as a secretary to Cary Grant, whose ex-wife, actress Dyan Cannon. Theiss died of complications from AIDS on December 15,1992, following six months at Revue/Universal Studios as an apprentice artist in the Advertising Art Department, Theiss worked at CBS in the Wardrobe Department on two televised soap operas. The film The Pink Panther was his first as a designer and he returned to television as a wardrobe man for shows including Hollywood Palace, My Favorite Martian, and The Farmers Daughter. In autumn 1964 he was costume designer for “The World of Ray Bradbury on stage, in 1964, he was brought to the attention of Gene Roddenberry by Dorothy Fontana, his friend. Roddenberry then hired Theiss as costume designer for Star Trek, the Theiss Titillation Theory—which claims that the degree to which a costume is considered sexy is directly proportional to how accident-prone it appears to be—is named after him. A key example of this idea in practice is the female android costume in the Star Trek episode What Are Little Girls Made Of. A backless dress in which the front of the dress was held up by the weight of the train which fell over the shoulder to the floor. In the 1970s and early 1980s, he designed costumes for at least a dozen TV movies, including Genesis II and The B. R. A. T. His final credit was as costume designer for Star Trek, The Next Generation, William Ware Theiss at the Internet Movie Database William Ware Theiss at Memory Alpha A page with photographs of his designs

Ware, Hertfordshire
–
Ware is a town of around 18,800 people in Hertfordshire, England close to the county town of Hertford. It is also a parish in East Hertfordshire district. The Prime Meridian passes to the east of Ware, the town lies on the north-south A10 road which is partly shared with the east-west A414. There is a viaduct over the River Lea at Kings Meads. The £3. 6m two-mile bypass opened on 17 January 1979, at the north end of the bypass is the Wodson Park Sports and Leisure Centre and Hanbury Manor, a hotel and country club. The former route of the A10 through the town is now the A1170, the railway station is on the Hertford East Branch Line and operated by Abellio Greater Anglia and is on a short single track section of the otherwise double track line. A well-preserved Roman skeleton of a girl has also been found. Ware was on Ermine Street, the Roman road from London to Lincoln and it has been said that Ware is one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe. It was also a coaching town, being on the Old North Road. In the 17th century Ware became the source of the New River, Mary I had Thomas Fust burnt at stake in Ware for refusing to convert to Catholicism. When some with Leveller sympathies refused to do this they were arrested,62 Children were sent to Ware after the Great Fire of London. In 1683, the Rye House Plot involved assassinating Charles II after he passed through Ware, englands first turnpike road ran from Wadesmill to Ware. The town was once a centre of malting. In 1756 during the Seven Years War, £350 was paid to the inns, the Ware Town Council coat of arms was issued in 1956 by the College of Arms to Ware Urban District Council, and transferred to Ware Town Council in 1975. The motto of the cave was suggested by the College of Heralds. With the River Lea flowing through the centre of Ware, transport by water was for years a significant industry. As an old brewing town, barley was transported in, a local legend says that dead bodies were brought out of London, but there is no evidence for this. Buryfield in Ware is thought by many to be where these bodies were buried

Ware, Illinois
–
Ware is an unincorporated community in Union County, Illinois, and is located near Jonesboro. The earliest inhabitants of the area around Ware were of Late Woodland, a village with four mounds was occupied between around 800 and 1300 A. D. One of the four mounds was destroyed in the construction of Illinois Route 3, the Ware Mounds and Village Site is situated just west of Ware. In January 1839, thousands of Cherokee Indians being forcibly relocated from their lands in Georgia to Indian Territory passed through Ware, because floating ice the Cherokee were unable to cross the Mississippi River and camped along Dutch Creek. Due to the intense cold many died, the Illinois Central Railroad and Illinois Route 3 pass through Ware, Illinois, connecting the community to the rest of the state. Two churches, Ware Baptist Church and Ware United Methodist Church, as of Census 2000, the population is 3,422 It is named for politician and farmer Jesse Ware

Ware, Massachusetts
–
Ware is a town in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 9,872 at the 2010 census and it is part of the Springfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area. Part of the town comprises the census-designated place of Ware, Ware was first settled on Equivalent Lands in 1717 and was officially incorporated in 1775. It is named after the English town of Ware, Hertfordshire, in 1716 a tract of land which was a little more than 11,000 acres in size was granted to John Read. He named it The Manour Of Peace and had it in mind to develop it in the style of an English manor anticipating that it would become a very valuable country estate. He leased out the land and did not sell 1-acre until after his death when he gave a gift of 200 acres to serve as a ministry lot. As time passed, the town of Ware grew up around the old Congregational meeting house and later became a center of local manufacturing. The actual origin of the name, Ware, is thought to be derived from a translation of the Native American word Nenameseck, the weirs were used to capture salmon that were once abundant in New England waterways. In 1729, the first grist and saw mills were built on the banks of the Weir River by Jabez Olmstead, during the American Revolution there were at least eight taverns and several inns in the area. Two of the most famous were Ebenezer Nye’s tavern and John Downing’s, after town meetings were held they would often adjourn to the latter establishment. By the 1830s it was not uncommon to see textile mills dotted along the local rivers. At this point Ware community was making the transition from an economy to an industrially based society. The post Civil War era brought a new prosperity to the now established textile mill town, Ware factory village, as it was known, sprung up overnight and formed the basis for new growth and development. For nearly 100 years the Otis company had been the largest single Ware employer, cotton had been the primary product and by 1937, denims, awnings and tickings were the principal output. It had been very prosperous until World War I when its employees numbered close to 2,500, by the 1920s however, the company began to decline due to southern competition and lack of modern machinery. By the mid thirties, the Directors decided to liquidate although no announcement was made. Instantly, the townspeople rallied to the cause, a public mass meeting was called that evening and plans to raise the necessary cash in order to forestall what appeared to be the imminent ruin of the town were formulated. The citizens of Ware were able to purchase the mills together with the backing of the Ware Trust Company, the mills became Ware Industries Inc. and Ware came to be known nationwide as The Town That Can’t Be Licked

Earthenware
–
Earthenware is glazed or unglazed nonvitreous pottery which has normally been fired below 1200°C. Porcelain, bone china and stoneware, all fired at high temperatures to vitrify, are the main other important types of pottery. Pit fired earthenware dates back to as early as 29, 000–25,000 BCE, outside East Asia, porcelain was manufactured only from the 18th century, and then initially as an expensive luxury. Earthenware, when fired, is opaque and non-vitreous, soft, the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities describes it as being made of selected clays sometimes mixed with feldspars and varying amounts of other minerals and white or light-colored. Generally, earthenware bodies exhibit higher plasticity than most whiteware bodies and hence are easier to shape by RAM press, due to its porosity, earthenware, with a water absorption of 5-8%, must be glazed to be watertight. Earthenware has lower mechanical strength than bone china, porcelain or stoneware, darker-colored terracotta earthenwares, typically orange or red, due to a comparatively high content of iron oxide are widely used for flower pots, tiles and some decorative and oven wares. A general body formulation for contemporary earthenware is 25% kaolin, 25% ball clay, 35% quartz and 15% feldspar. Modern earthenware may be fired to temperatures between 1,000 and 1,150 °C and glost-fired to between 950 to 1,050 °C, the usual practice in factories and some studio potteries. Some studio potters follow the practice, with a low-temperature bisque firing. The firing schedule will be determined by the raw materials used, historically, such high temperatures were unattainable in most cultures and periods until modern times, though Chinese ceramics were far ahead of other cultures in this respect. Earthenware can be produced at firing temperatures as low as 600 °C, much historical pottery was fired somewhere around 800 °C, giving a wide margin of error where there was no precise way of measuring temperature, and very variable conditions within the kiln. After firing most earthenware bodies will be colored white, buff or red, for red earthenware, the firing temperature affects the color of the clay body. Lower temperatures produce a red terracotta color, higher temperatures will make the clay brown or even black. Higher firing temperatures may cause earthenware to bloat, an Introduction to the Technology Of Pottery.

Terra sigillata
–
Usually roughly translated as sealed earth, the meaning of terra sigillata is clay bearing little images, not clay with a sealed surface. The archaeological term is applied, however, to plain-surfaced pots as well as decorated with figures in relief. Terra sigillata as a term refers chiefly to a specific type of plain and decorated tableware made in Italy. The sigillata industries grew up in areas where there were existing traditions of pottery manufacture, the products of the Italian workshops are also known as Aretine ware from Arezzo and have been collected and admired since the Renaissance. The wares made in the Gaulish factories are referred to by English-speaking archaeologists as samian ware. All these types of pottery are significant for archaeologists, they can often be closely dated, modern Terra sig should be clearly distinguished from the close reproductions of Roman wares made by some potters deliberately recreating and using the Roman methods. The finish called terra sigillata by studio potters can be made from most clay, mixed as a thin liquid slip. When applied to unfired clay surfaces, terra sig can be polished with a cloth or brush to achieve a shine ranging from a smooth silky lustre to a high gloss. The surface of ancient terra sigillata vessels did not require this burnishing or polishing, burnishing was a technique used on some wares in the Roman period, but terra sigillata was not one of them. The polished surface can only be retained if fired within the range and will lose its shine if fired higher. The oldest use for the terra sigillata was for a medicinal clay from the island of Lemnos. The latter was called sealed because cakes of it were pressed together, later, it bore the seal of the Ottoman sultan. He promoted it as a panacea effective against every type of poison and several diseases, berthold invited authorities to test it themselves. In 1581, a prince tested the antidote on a condemned criminal and these high-quality tablewares were particularly popular and widespread in the Western Roman Empire from about 50 BC to the early 3rd century AD. Not all red-gloss ware was decorated, and hence the more inclusive term Samian ware is sometimes used to all varieties of it. However, samian ware is normally used only to refer to the sub-class of terra sigillata made in ancient Gaul, in European languages other than English, terra sigillata, or a translation, is always used for both Italian and Gaulish products. Italian and Gaulish TS vessels were made in standardised shapes constituting services of matching dishes, bowls and these reference sometimes make it possible to date the manufacture of a broken decorated sherd to within 20 years or less. The mould was therefore decorated on its surface with a full decorative design of impressed

Bidri ware
–
Bidriware is a metal handicraft from Bidar. It was developed in the 14th century C. E. during the rule of the Bahamani Sultans, the term Bidriware originates from the township of Bidar, which is still the chief centre for the manufacture of the unique metalware. Due to its striking inlay artwork, Bidriware is an important export handicraft of India and is prized as a symbol of wealth, the metal used is a blackened alloy of zinc and copper inlaid with thin sheets of pure silver. This native art form has obtained Geographical Indications registry, the origin of Bidriware is usually attributed to the Bahamani sultans who ruled Bidar in the 14th–15th centuries. It was brought to India by the followers of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, the art form developed in the kingdom was a mix of Turkey, Persia and Arabic countries which were intermingled with the local styles and thus a unique style of its own was born. Abdullah bin Kaiser, a craftsman from Iran was invited by the Sultan Ahmed Shah Bahmani to work on decorating the royal palaces, according to some accounts, Kaiser joined hands with local craftsmen and gave birth to Bidriware under the rule of Second Sultan Alauddin Bahmani. Along with local artisans, the art ware spread far and wide and was handed over to generations as time passed, fortunately, the art did not die with the kings, it was later on patronized by subsequent kingdoms and today, we can enjoy its exclusivity. It is a business and in some artisans’ families, even women take part in the making of the metal ware. Since then, the craft has been handed down succeeding generations mostly among the local Muslim, Bidri researcher Rehaman Patel shares that the awardees also had shown their skills by exhibiting varieties of Bidri art in foreign countries. Among them is internationally renowned national awardee Bidri artist Shah Rasheed Ahmed Quadri, on behalf of Karnataka Tableau Shah Rasheed Ahmed Quadri represented a live demonstration of Bidri art in the year 2011 on the occasion of the Republic day at Rajpath in New Delhi. The Govt. of India awarded him with Shilpguru award in 2015, according to the Census of India 1961, Syed Tassaduq Hussain- a first National awardee was the Head of the Gulistan Cooperative Society, Bidar. The other notable national awardees are Abdul Hakeem, Mohammed Najeeb Khan, Shah Majeed Quadri, Mohammed Moizuddin, according to Dr. Patel more than 50 Bidri artisans who received the Karnataka State Award honoured by the Karnataka State Handicrafts Development Corporation. The Birdriware undergoes an eight-stage process, Bidriware is manufactured from an alloy of copper and zinc by casting. The zinc content gives the alloy a deep black color, first, a mould is formed from soil made malleable by the addition of castor oil and resin. The molten metal is poured into it to obtain a cast piece which is later smoothened by filing. The casting is now coated with a solution of copper sulphate to obtain a temporary black coating over which designs are etched freehand with the help of a metal stylus. This is then secured in a vise and the craftsman uses small chisels to engrave the design over the freehand etching, fine wire or flattened strips of pure silver are then carefully hammered into these grooves. The article then is filed, buffed and smoothed to get rid of the black coating

Grooved ware
–
Grooved ware is the name given to a pottery style of the British Neolithic. Its manufacturers are sometimes known as the Grooved ware people, unlike the later Beaker ware, Grooved culture was not an import from the continent but seems to have developed in Orkney, early in the 3rd millennium BC, and was soon adopted in Britain and Ireland. The diagnostic shape for the style is a pot with straight sides sloping outwards. Beyond this the pottery comes in varieties, some with complex geometric decorations others with applique bands added. The latter has led archaeologists to argue that the style is a skeuomorph and is derived from wicker basketry. Grooved ware pots excavated at Balfarg in Fife have been analysed to determine their contents. It appears that some of the vessels there may have used to hold black henbane which is a poison. Since many Grooved ware pots have been found at henge sites and in burials, Grooved ware comes in many sizes, some vessels are extremely large, c.30 gallons, and would be suitable for fermentation. The majority are smaller, ranging from jug- to cup-size, the earliest examples have been found in Orkney and may have evolved from earlier Unstan ware bowls. The recent excavations at nearby Ness of Brodgar have revealed many sherds of finely decorated Grooved ware pottery, a large number of drinking vessels have also been identified. The style soon spread and it was used by the builders of the first phase of Stonehenge, Grooved ware pottery has been found in abundance in recent excavations at Durrington Walls and Marden Henge in Wiltshire. Here, the feasting would have involved drinking ale and eating pork, smaller quantities of Grooved ware have been found at the nearby site of Figsbury Ring. Grooved ware was previously referred to as Rinyo-Clacton ware, first identified by Stuart Piggott in the 1950s, rinyo is a neolithic settlement on the island of Rousay, Orkney. The site at Clacton now lies under the sea, one way the tradition may have spread is through trade routes up the west coast of Britain. What seems unusual is that although they shared the style of pottery. Evidence at some early Henges suggests that there were staging and trading points on a motorway during the Neolithic. This evidence perhaps explains how Cumbrian stone axes found their way to Orkney, Unstan ware, a variation on grooved ware, emerged in Orkney. The people who used Unstan ware had totally different burial practices, some hybrid chambered cairns have emerged in this region, containing architectural features of both the Maeshowe subclass and the Orkney-Cromarty stalled subclasses of cairn

Unstan ware
–
Unstan ware is the name used by archaeologists for a type of finely made and decorated Neolithic pottery from the 4th and 3rd millennia BC. Typical are elegant and distinctive shallow bowls with a band of grooved patterning below the rim, a second version consists of undecorated, round-bottomed bowls. Some of the bowls had bits of volcanic rock included in the clay to make them stronger, after firing, bone tools were used to burnish the surfaces to make them shiny and impermeable. Unstan ware is found in tombs, specifically tombs of the Orkney-Cromarty type. These include the Tomb of the Eagles at Isbister on South Ronaldsay, Unstan ware has been found occasionally at sites in Orkney other than tombs, for example, the farmstead of Knap of Howar on Papa Westray. and in the Western Isles, as at Eilean Domhnuill. Unstan ware may have evolved into the later grooved ware style and this interpretation was originally based primarily on a presumed evolution in pottery styles, from Unstan ware to grooved ware, seen at the settlement of Rinyo on Rousay. D. V. Clarke claimed in 1983 that his investigations at Rinyo had debunked this sequence, in this interpretation of the evidence, grooved ware is associated with the builders of the Maeshowe class of chambered tomb.

Fritware
–
Fritware, also known as stone-paste, is a type of pottery in which frit is added to clay to reduce its fusion temperature. The formula may include quartz or other siliceous material, an organic compound such as gum or glue may be added for binding. The resulting mixture can be fired at a lower temperature than clay alone, a glaze is then applied on the surface to harden the object. The manufacture of fritware began in Iraq in the 9th century, between the 10th and the 12th centuries the main centre of manufacture moved to Egypt, but the technique then spread throughout the Middle-East. Fritware was invented to give a white body, which, combined with tin-glazing of the surface. True porcelain was not manufactured in the Islamic world until modern times, Frit was also a significant component in some early European porcelains. In the 13th century the town of Kashan in Iran was an important centre for the production of fritware, abūl-Qāsim, who came from a family of tilemakers in the city, wrote a treatise in 1301 on precious stones that included a chapter on the manufacture of fritware. His recipe specified a fritware body containing a mixture of 10 parts silica to 1 part glass frit and 1 part clay, the frit was prepared by mixing powdered quartz with soda which acted as a flux. The mixture was heated in a kiln. This type of pottery has also referred to as stonepaste. A ninth-century corpus of proto-stonepaste from Baghdad has relict glass fragments in its fabric, the glass is alkali-lime-lead-silica and, when the paste was fired or cooled, wollastonite and diopside crystals formed within the glass fragments. The lack of inclusions of crushed pottery suggests these fragments did not come from a glaze, Iznik pottery was produced in Ottoman Turkey beginning in the last quarter of 15th century AD. It consists of a body, slip, and glaze, where the body, the frits in both cases are unusual in that they contain lead oxide as well as soda, the lead oxide would help reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic. Microscopic analysis reveals that the material that has been labeled frit is interstitial glass which serves to connect the quartz particles, the glass was added as frit and that the interstitial glass formed on firing.

Ware F.C.
–
Ware F. C. is a football club established in 1892 and based at Wodson Park in Ware, Hertfordshire, England, currently members of Division One North of the Isthmian League. The club was founded in 1892 and although first called Ware Town soon changed its name to plain Ware FC, by this time Ware had been instrumental in founding the East Herts League and had won its championship on two of the three times it had been competed for. The club was to win it five times before moving on to the North Middlesex League in 1907. The championship of the came that season in a three-way play off against St Albans City. After the First World War the club gained a league and cup double with a second Herts County League Championship, the scenes in Ware when the team returned with the Senior Cup tell us something about the hold that football had on local loyalties at the time. The local paper reported that Large crowds awaited the return of the train to Ware. The Cup was marched through the town in front of a cheering throng, in these later years the club also made significant progress in the old Amateur Cup meeting many famous sides on the way. One of these was Hendon, against whom Ware drew their largest attendance of 3,800 in the first round in January 1957, moving on to the Delphian League and then Athenian League, Ware enjoyed another successful period. Two promotions, two cup wins and two reserve championships paved the way for progress in the FA Cup. In this Ware reached the first round proper for the first time in 1968 when they travelled to the then Third Division side Luton Town. The opposition had a 100% home record but the game was scoreless with 30 minutes to go before a judicious substitution broke the stalemate, in these successful circumstances it was not surprising that Ware pressed for entry to the expanding Isthmian League. This was achieved for season 1975–76 and they have maintained their place in the league ever since and this is thanks most recently to their Division 2 championship season of 2005–06 which carried them into Division 1 just before Division 2 was disbanded. Before that a tenth Herts Senior Cup final in 2001 and another in 2008 have emphasised the clubs long history, Ware is the first of only three possible candidates to appear in this final in three separate centuries.

Great Bed of Ware
–
The Great Bed of Ware is an extremely large oak four poster bed, carved with marquetry, that was originally housed in the White Hart Inn in Ware, England. Built by Hertfordshire carpenter Jonas Fosbrooke in 1580, the bed measures 3. 38m long and 3. 26m wide, many of those who have used the bed have carved their names into its posts. Like many objects from time, the bed is carved with patterns derived from European Renaissance ornament. Originally it would have been painted, and traces of these colours can still be seen on the figures on the bed-head. The bed-hangings are modern re-creations of fabrics of the period, by the 19th century, the bed had been moved from the White Hart Inn to the Saracens Head, another Ware inn. In 1870, William Henry Teale, the owner of the Rye House, acquired the bed, when interest in the garden waned in the 1920s, the bed was sold. In 1931, it was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, from April 2012, the bed was exhibited for a year in Ware Museum, on loan from the Victoria and Albert Museum. Images of the Great Bed of Ware are available on the V&A website The Great Bed of Ware, the Great Bed in Ware BBC Article about the Beds move to Ware for a year

Commodity
–
In economics, a commodity is a marketable item produced to satisfy wants or needs. Economic commodities comprise goods and services, the word commodity came into use in English in the 15th century, from the French commodité, amenity, convenience. Going further back, the French word derives from the Latin commoditas, meaning suitability, convenience, the Latin word commodus meant variously appropriate, proper measure, time, or condition, and advantage, benefit. The term commodity is specifically used for a good or service when the demand for it has no qualitative differentiation across a market. In other words, a commodity good or service has full or partial but substantial fungibility, that is, the market treats its instances as equivalent or nearly so with no regard to who produced them. As the saying goes, From the taste of wheat, it is not possible to tell who produced it, a Russian serf, petroleum and copper are other examples of such commodities, their supply and demand being a part of one universal market. Items such as systems, on the other hand, have many aspects of product differentiation, such as the brand, the user interface. The demand for one type of stereo may be larger than demand for another. In contrast, one of the characteristics of a commodity good is that its price is determined as a function of its market as a whole, well-established physical commodities have actively traded spot and derivative markets. Generally, these are basic resources and agricultural products such as ore, sugar. Soft commodities are goods that are grown, while hard commodities are ones that are extracted through mining, there is another important class of energy commodities which includes electricity, gas, coal and oil. Electricity has the characteristic that it is usually uneconomical to store, hence. Commoditization occurs as a goods or services market loses differentiation across its supply base, as such, goods that formerly carried premium margins for market participants have become commodities, such as generic pharmaceuticals and DRAM chips. Following this trend, nanomaterials are emerging from carrying premium profit margins for market participants to a status of commodification, there is a spectrum of commoditization, rather than a binary distinction of commodity versus differentiable product. Many products degree of commoditization depends on the mentality and means. For example, milk, eggs, and notebook paper are not differentiated by many customers, for them, other customers take into consideration other factors besides price, such as environmental sustainability and animal welfare. This is a list of companies trading globally in commodities, descending by size as of October 28,2011, on a commodity exchange, it is the underlying standard stated in the contract that defines the commodity, not any quality inherent in a specific producers product. Commodities exchanges include, Bourse Africa Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Chicago Board of Trade Chicago Mercantile Exchange Dalian Commodity Exchange Euronext and these markets will quickly respond to changes in supply and demand to find an equilibrium price and quantity

Corded Ware culture
–
Corded Ware culture encompassed a vast area, from the Rhine on the west to the Volga in the east, occupying parts of Northern Europe, Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The Corded Ware was genetically related to the Yamnaya culture. The Corded Ware culture may have disseminated the Proto-Germanic and Proto-Balto-Slavic Indo-European languages, the Corded Ware Culture also shows genetic affinity with the later Sintashta culture, where the proto-Indo-Iranian language originated. The term Corded Ware culture was first introduced by the German archaeologist Friedrich Klopfleisch in 1883 and he named it after cord-like impressions or ornamentation characteristic of its pottery. The term Single Grave culture comes from its burial custom, which consisted of inhumation under tumuli in a position with various artifacts. Battle Axe culture, or Boat Axe culture, is named from its characteristic grave offering to males, at the same time, they had several shared elements that are characteristic of all Corded Ware groups, such as their burial practices, pottery with cord decoration and unique stone-axes. The contemporary Beaker culture overlapped with the extremity of this culture, west of the Elbe. The origins and dispersal of Corded Ware culture was for a time one of the pivotal unresolved issues of the Indo-European Urheimat problem. Its wide area of distribution indicates rapid expansion at the time of the dispersal of Indo-European languages. Some archaeologists believed it sprang from central Europe while others saw an influence from nomadic societies of the steppes. In favour of the first view was the fact that Corded Ware coincides considerably with the earlier north-central European Funnelbeaker culture, according to Gimbutas, the Corded Ware culture was preceded by the Globular Amphora culture, which she regarded to be an Indo-European culture. The Globular Amphora culture stretched from central Europe to the Baltic sea, however, in other regions Corded Ware appears to herald a new culture and physical type. The degree to which cultural change generally represents immigration were matter of debate, according to controversial radiocarbon dates, Corded Ware ceramic forms in single graves develop earlier in the area that is now Poland than in western and southern Central Europe. The earliest radiocarbon dates for Corded Ware indeed come from Kujawy and Lesser Poland in central and southern Poland, whereas in the area of the present Baltic states and East Prussia, it is seen as an intrusive successor to the southwestern portion of the Narva culture. However, today Corded Ware is now seen as intrusive, though not necessarily aggressively so. A Genetic study conducted by Haak et al, about 75% of the DNA of late Neolithic Corded Ware skeletons found in Germany was a precise match to DNA from individuals of the Yamnaya culture. Haak et al. also note that their results suggest that haplogroups R1b and R1a spread into Europe from the East after 3,000 BCE.5 In terms of phenotypes, Wilde et al. and Haak et al. Autosomal DNA tests also indicate that the Yamnaya migration from the steppes introduced a component of ancestry referred to as Ancient North Eurasian admixture into Europe

Warez
–
Warez is a common computing and broader cultural term referring to pirated software that is distributed via the Internet. Warez is used most commonly as a noun, a form of ware. The global array of groups has been referred to as The Scene. Distribution and trade of copyrighted works without payment of fees or royalties generally violates national and international copyright laws, hence, the term refers to copyrighted works that are distributed without fees or royalties and so traded in general violation of copyright law. The global collection of groups has been referred to as The Warez Scene. In this way, they imply that illegal copying is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, the FSF advocates the use of terms like prohibited copying or unauthorized copying, or sharing information with your neighbor. Hence, the software pirate is controversial, FSF derides its use, while many self-described pirates take pride in the term. DDL sites do not directly host the material and can avoid the fees that normally accompany large file hosting, the production and/or distribution of warez is illegal in most countries. Software infringers generally exploit the international nature of the issue to avoid law enforcement in specific countries. Violations are typically overlooked in poorer third world countries, and other countries with weak or non-existent protection for intellectual property, additionally, some first world countries have loopholes in legislation that allow the warez to continue. There is also a movement, exemplified by groups like The Pirate Party and scholars at The Mises Institute and this is in contrast to some of the more traditional open source advocates such as Lawrence Lessig, who advocate for middle ground between freedom and intellectual property. Offering warez is generally understood to be a form of copyright infringement that is punishable as either a civil wrong or a crime, however, many prosecution cases and convictions argue to the contrary. In the U. S. And, in countries, and at some times, software piracy has been encouraged. The same policy has been adopted by Antigua, and others, Warez are often distributed outside of The Scene by torrents uploaded to a popular P2P website by an associate or friend of the cracker or cracking crew. An nfo or FILE ID. DIZ is often made to promote who created the release and it is then leeched by users of the tracker and spread to other sharing sites using P2P, or other sources such as newsgroups. From there, it can be downloaded by millions of users all over the world, often, one release is duplicated, renamed, then re-uploaded to different sites so that eventually, it can become impossible to trace the original file. Another increasingly popular method of distributing Warez is via one-click hosting websites, in the early 1990s, warez were often traded on cassette tapes with different groups and published on bulletin boards that had a warez section. Unauthorized copying has been a phenomenon that started when high quality

Ware Opening

The Ware Opening is an uncommon chess opening for White beginning with the move,1. A4 It is named after U. S. chess player Preston Ware, the Ware is considered an irregular opening, so it is classified under the A00 code in the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings. The Ware Opening attacks the b5-square and prepares to bring the a1-rook into the game, the b5-square is non-essential and if Black plays 1. e5, the f8-bishop prevents the development of the white rook for the moment. The reply 1. e5 also gains space for Black in the center, noting all this, the Ware Opening is normally seen played only by players completely new to chess. An experienced player using the Ware Opening will usually meet a response of 1. d5 or 1. e5 with 2. d4 or 2. e4, respectively, at some later point the move a5 will be played, followed by Ra4. You might as well start with 1. a4 and you can beat them. The game soon turned into a sort of Four Knights Game where Carlsen finally prevailed, there are several named variations of the Ware Opening. The best known of these are,1. e52. h4 – the Crab Variation and this does nothing to help White, but instead weakens his position even more. 1. e52. a5 d53. e3 f54. a6 – the Ware Gambit,1. b62. d4 d53. Nc3 Nd7 – the Cologne Gambit. 1. b52. axb5 Bb7 – the Wing Gambit of the Ware Opening,1. a5 – the rarely seen Symmetric Variation.

Software
–
Computer software, or simply software, is that part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built. In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs, computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media. Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be used on its own. At the lowest level, executable code consists of machine language instructions specific to an individual processor—typically a central processing unit, a machine language consists of groups of binary values signifying processor instructions that change the state of the computer from its preceding state. For example, an instruction may change the value stored in a storage location in the computer—an effect that is not directly observable to the user. An instruction may also cause something to appear on a display of the computer system—a state change which should be visible to the user. The processor carries out the instructions in the order they are provided, unless it is instructed to jump to a different instruction, the majority of software is written in high-level programming languages that are easier and more efficient for programmers, meaning closer to a natural language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or an interpreter or a combination of the two, an outline for what would have been the first piece of software was written by Ada Lovelace in the 19th century, for the planned Analytical Engine. However, neither the Analytical Engine nor any software for it were ever created, the first theory about software—prior to creation of computers as we know them today—was proposed by Alan Turing in his 1935 essay Computable numbers with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem. This eventually led to the creation of the academic fields of computer science and software engineering. Computer science is more theoretical, whereas software engineering focuses on practical concerns. However, prior to 1946, software as we now understand it—programs stored in the memory of stored-program digital computers—did not yet exist, the first electronic computing devices were instead rewired in order to reprogram them. On virtually all platforms, software can be grouped into a few broad categories. There are many different types of software, because the range of tasks that can be performed with a modern computer is so large—see list of software. System software includes, Operating systems, which are collections of software that manage resources and provides common services for other software that runs on top of them. Supervisory programs, boot loaders, shells and window systems are parts of operating systems. In practice, an operating system bundled with additional software so that a user can potentially do some work with a computer that only has an operating system. Device drivers, which operate or control a particular type of device that is attached to a computer, utilities, which are computer programs designed to assist users in the maintenance and care of their computers
