User:Caerwine/The Sands of Time (Xiaolin Showdown)

The Sands of Time is episode 208 of Xiaolin Showdown. It first aired in the United States on November 13, 2004.

Blurb as could have been used to advertise the episode.

Synopsis
The Xiaolin Monks are facing Jack Spicer's Cheerbots when a strange apparition appears. The apparition, which just so happens to be Omi from the future, warns them that the Sands of Time will soon reveal itself. Omi and the other monks must find the Sands of Time in order to prevent evil from getting its hands on it. However, they are having a lot of trouble trying to find it.

Jack Spicer ends up getting the Sands of Time and uses it to summon his evil dream team -- Billy the Kid, Genghis Khan, his old teacher, and Blackbeard the pirate. They fight the Xiaolin monks and are summarily defeated. Jack takes a year-long vacation using the Sands of Time and eventually returns with a new ally -- himself from the future. Future-Jack, now a senile old man, knows the location of every Shen Gong Wu. Jack uses this knowledge acquire the Sweet Baby Among Us (along with other Wu) before they even reveal themselves.

Omi gets the Sands of Time and uses it to get his future-self to the present. They then face Jack Spicer (both of them) in a Xiaolin Showdown. Of course, the Omis are victorious. Omi entrusts the Sands of Time to his future self, who promises to hide it in the future. It ends up in the Xiaolin rock garden, although Dashi and Dojo think its in Egypt and Europe, respectively.

Shen Gong Wu
The Shen Gong Wu that are revealed are:

-The Sands of Time, which is capable of allowing the user to travel back and forth through time.

Paulo Coelho articles
Hi Sebbi, in response to your idea to collaborate on the articles about Paulo Coelho's books perhaps you'd like to start the article on The Fifth Mountain? I'd love to help you. Please feel welcome to reply at my talk page. Cheers! Lisa 14:36, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Your start of The Fifth Mountain looks good to me. Nice. I did some edits, added a few more links, fixed up categories, etc, but I think my memory is really hazy on this book and I struggled to remember  the plot specifics. Please check the talk page for the article so we can talk about the plot there. I'm worried my recall of the book isn't too good... Cheers Lisa 07:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

The Impressionables
A tag has been placed on The Impressionables requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. AndrewHowse (talk) 19:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent changes on wikipedia theatre's talk page
I just reverted your recent changes to this page as you deleted not only my comments but the comments of 6 other editors in an on going discussion. That is a big no no and may be viewed as vandalism. If this behavior continues I will pursue reporting you to wikipedia administrators.Broadweighbabe (talk) 00:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry to snip at you a moment before. I just realised that you didn't intend to erase those comments. The link above took you to an old version of the page which you in turn edited causing it to act like a reversion when you added your comment. A hint in the future. If you have to go to the top to edit the page than it is an old version of the article.Broadweighbabe (talk) 00:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:48, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Rearding the name: There is no evidence to suggest its a misinterpretation of the font that lead the game to be known as Yoot ToweR and it is in fact a lowercase R at the end. Though of course there's no evidence to suggest it wasn't a misinterpretation either, and that is the actual name - it is considered to be the correct way to type it, mainly becasuse of the fact the developer OpenBook had the odd captial letter in the name as well - as such I've removed the bit about the name but left the article where it is because I can't be arsed to create an account.

The first written reference to the town stems from 1332. at that time it was part of the Čachtice Castle domain. The village was famous for its grain markets, promoted mainly by Jews, who made up a large part of the village's population. In the late 20th century, the village was home to clothing (Trikota works), trading and wood-processing industries.

World War II
Vrbové is infamous for its past as a Jewish ghetto. During World War II, the entire village of Vrbové was a ghetto for the Jewish population of the Piešťany province of Slovakia. The ghetto was liquidated by the Slovak Nazis known as the Hlinka Guard and the German SS; most of the Jewish people were deported to the death camp at Auschwitz. Most of Vrbove's Jewish population was gassed in Auschwitz's gas chambers.

Elizabeth Bodine (February 25, 1898 – July 3, 1986) was an American humanitarian. She was given the Theodore Roosevelt Rough Rider Award in July 1979 in recognition of the International Year of the Child. She was honored as North Dakota Mother of the Year and National Mother of the Year  in 1968.

Biography
Elizabeth Louise Grossman Bodine was born in the Province of Posen. She spoke German as her first language. She and her family immigrated from Germany to the United States during 1913.

Bodine contributed clothing and food to her relatives in Poland during World War II and sent boxes of clothing to Vietnam. She also spent many years volunteering to assist the Native American population in the Belcourt-area.

Bodine was the mother of 18 children, each of whom received a post-high school education. Her ten sons received college degrees, and six of her daughters attended college while the other two daughters received business training. For 26 years, including ten summer sessions, one or more of her family was enrolled at Minot State College.

Determinacy

Determinacy is a subfield of set theory, a branch of mathematics, that examines the conditions under which one or the other player of a game has a winning strategy, and the consequences of the existence of such strategies. Alternatively and similarly, "determinacy" is the property of a game whereby such a strategy exists. Determinacy was introduced by Gale and Stewart in 1950, under the name "determinateness".

The games studied in set theory are usually Gale–Stewart games—two-player games of perfect information in which the players make an infinite sequence of moves and there are no draws. The field of game theory studies more general kinds of games, including games with draws such as tic-tac-toe, chess, or infinite chess, or games with imperfect information such as poker.

Games
The first sort of game we shall consider is the two-player game of perfect information of length ω, in which the players play natural numbers. These games are often called Gale–Stewart games.

In this sort of game there are two players, often named I and II, who take turns playing natural numbers, with I going first. They play "forever"; that is, their plays are indexed by the natural numbers. When they're finished, a predetermined condition decides which player won. This condition need not be specified by any definable rule; it may simply be an arbitrary (infinitely long) lookup table saying who has won given a particular sequence of plays.

More formally, consider a subset A of Baire space; recall that the latter consists of all ω-sequences of natural numbers. Then in the game GA, I plays a natural number a0, then II plays a1, then I plays a2, and so on. Then I wins the game if and only if
 * $$\langle a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots\rangle\in A$$

and otherwise II wins. A is then called the payoff set of GA.

It is assumed that each player can see all moves preceding each of his moves, and also knows the winning condition.

Strategies
Informally, a strategy for a player is a way of playing in which his plays are entirely determined by the foregoing plays. Again, such a "way" does not have to be capable of being captured by any explicable "rule", but may simply be a lookup table.

More formally, a strategy for player I (for a game in the sense of the preceding subsection) is a function that accepts as an argument any finite sequence of natural numbers, of even length, and returns a natural number. If σ is such a strategy and <a0,...,a2n-1> is a sequence of plays, then σ(<a0,...,a2n-1>) is the next play I will make, if I is following the strategy σ. Strategies for II are just the same, substituting "odd" for "even".

Note that we have said nothing, as yet, about whether a strategy is in any way good. A strategy might direct a player to make aggressively bad moves, and it would still be a strategy. In fact it is not necessary even to know the winning condition for a game, to know what strategies exist for the game.

Winning strategies
A strategy is winning if the player following it must necessarily win, no matter what his opponent plays. For example, if σ is a strategy for I, then σ is a winning strategy for I in the game GA if, for any sequence of natural numbers to be played by II, say <a1,a3,a5,...>, the sequence of plays produced by σ when II plays thus, namely
 * $$\langle\sigma(\langle\rangle),a_1,\sigma(\langle\sigma(\langle\rangle),a_1\rangle),a_3,\ldots\rangle$$

is an element of A.

Determined games
A (class of) game(s) is determined if for all instances of the game there is a winning strategy for one of the players (not necessarily the same player for each instance). There cannot be a winning strategy for both players for the same game, for if there were, the two strategies could be played against each other. The resulting outcome would then, by hypothesis, be a win for both players, which is impossible.

Determinacy from elementary considerations
All finite games of perfect information in which draws do not occur are determined.

Real-world games of perfect information, such as tic-tac-toe, chess, or infinite chess, are always finished in a finite number of moves (in infinite chess-games this assumes the 50-move rule is applied). If such a game is modified so that a particular player wins under any condition where the game would have been called a draw, then it is always determined. The condition that the game is always over (i.e. all possible extensions of the finite position result in a win for the same player) in a finite number of moves corresponds to the topological condition that the set A giving the winning condition for GA is clopen in the topology of Baire space.

For example, modifying the rules of chess to make drawn games a win for Black makes chess a determined game. As it happens, chess has a finite number of positions and a draw-by-repetition rules, so with these modified rules, if play continues long enough without White having won, then Black can eventually force a win (due to the modification of draw = win for black).

The proof that such games are determined is rather simple: Player I simply plays not to lose; that is, player I plays to make sure that player II does not have a winning strategy after I's move. If player I cannot do this, then it means player II had a winning strategy from the beginning. On the other hand, if player I can play in this way, then I must win, because the game will be over after some finite number of moves, and player I can't have lost at that point.

This proof does not actually require that the game always be over in a finite number of moves, only that it be over in a finite number of moves whenever II wins. That condition, topologically, is that the set A is closed. This fact—that all closed games are determined—is called the Gale–Stewart theorem. Note that by symmetry, all open games are determined as well. (A game is open if I can win only by winning in a finite number of moves.)

Determinacy from ZFC
David Gale and F. M. Stewart proved the open and closed games are determined. Determinacy for second level of the Borel hierarchy games was shown by Wolfe in 1955. Over the following 20 years, additional research using ever-more-complicated arguments established that third and fourth levels of the Borel hierarchy are determined.

In 1975, Donald A. Martin proved that all Borel games are determined; that is, if A is a Borel subset of Baire space, then GA is determined. This result, known as Borel determinacy, is the best possible determinacy result provable in ZFC, in the sense that the determinacy of the next higher Wadge class is not provable in ZFC.

In 1971, before Martin obtained his proof, Harvey Friedman showed that any proof of Borel determinacy must use the axiom of replacement in an essential way, in order to iterate the powerset axiom transfinitely often. Friedman's work gives a level-by-level result detailing how many iterations of the powerset axiom are necessary to guarantee determinacy at each level of the Borel hierarchy.

For every integer n, ZFC\P proves determinacy in the nth level of the difference hierarchy of $$\mathbf{\Pi}^0_3$$ sets, but ZFC\P does not prove that for every integer n nth level of the difference hierarchy of $$\Pi^0_3$$ sets is determined. See reverse mathematics for other relations between determinacy and subsystems of second-order arithmetic.

Determinacy and large cardinals
There is an intimate relationship between determinacy and large cardinals. In general, stronger large cardinal axioms prove the determinacy of larger pointclasses, higher in the Wadge hierarchy, and the determinacy of such pointclasses, in turn, proves the existence of inner models of slightly weaker large cardinal axioms than those used to prove the determinacy of the pointclass in the first place.

Measurable cardinals
It follows from the existence of a measurable cardinal that every analytic game (also called a Σ11 game) is determined, or equivalently that every coanalytic (or Π11 ) game is determined. (See Projective hierarchy for definitions.)

Actually a measurable cardinal is more than enough. A weaker principle — the existence of 0# is sufficient to prove coanalytic determinacy, and a little bit more: The precise result is that the existence of 0# is equivalent to the determinacy of all levels of the difference hierarchy below the ω2 level, i.e. ω·n-Π11 determinacy for every $$n$$.

From a measurable cardinal we can improve this very slightly to ω2-Π11 determinacy. From the existence of more measurable cardinals, one can prove the determinacy of more levels of the difference hierarchy over Π11.

Proof of determinacy from sharps
For every real number r, $$\Sigma^1_1(r)$$ determinacy is equivalent to existence of r#. To illustrate how large cardinals lead to determinacy, here is a proof of $$\Sigma^1_1(r)$$ determinacy given existence of r#.

Let A be a $$\Sigma^1_1(r)$$ subset of the Baire space. A = p[T] for some tree T (constructible from r) on (ω, ω). (That is x∈A iff from some y, $$((x_0,y_0),(x_1,y_1),...)$$ is a path through T.)

Given a partial play s, let $$T_s$$ be the subtree of T consistent with s subject to max(y0,y1,...,ylen(s)-1)<len(s). The additional condition ensures that $$T_s$$ is finite. Consistency means that every path through $$T_s$$ is of the form $$((x_0,y_0),(x_1,y_1),...,(x_i,y_i))$$ where $$(x_0,x_1,...,x_i)$$ is an initial segment of s.

To prove that A is determined, define auxiliary game as follows:

In addition to ordinary moves, player 2 must play a mapping of $$T_s$$ into ordinals (below a sufficiently large ordinal κ) such that
 * each new move extends the previous mapping and
 * the ordering of the ordinals agrees with the Kleene–Brouwer order on $$T_s$$.

Recall that Kleene–Brouwer order is like lexicographical order except that if s properly extends t then s<t. It is a well-ordering iff the tree is well-founded.

The auxiliary game is open. Proof: If player 2 does not lose at a finite stage, then the union of all $$T_s$$ (which is the tree that corresponds to the play) is well-founded, and so the result of the non-auxiliary play is not in A.

Thus, the auxiliary game is determined. Proof: By transfinite induction, for each ordinal α compute the set of positions where player 1 can force a win in α steps, where a position with player 2 to move is losing (for player 2) in α steps iff for every move the resulting position is losing in less than α steps. One strategy for player 1 is to reduce α with each position (say picking the least α and breaking ties by picking the least move), and one strategy for player 2 is to pick the least (actually any would work) move that does not lead to a position with an α assigned. Note that L(r) contains the set of winning positions as well as the winning strategies given above.

A winning strategy for player 2 in the original game leads to winning strategy in the auxiliary game: The subtree of T corresponding to the winning strategy is well-founded, so player 2 can pick ordinals based on the Kleene–Brouwer order of the tree. Also, trivially, a winning strategy for player 2 in the auxiliary game gives a winning strategy for player 2 in original game.

It remains to show that using r#, the above-mentioned winning strategy for player 1 in the auxiliary game can be converted into a winning strategy in the original game. r# gives a proper class I of (L(r),∈,r) indiscernible ordinals. By indiscernibility, if κ and the ordinals in the auxiliary response are in I, then the moves by player 1 do not depend on the auxiliary moves (or on κ), and so the strategy can be converted into a strategy for the original game (since player 2 can hold out with indiscernibles for any finite number of steps). Suppose that player 1 loses in the original game. Then, the tree corresponding to a play is well-founded. Therefore, player 2 can win the auxiliary game by using auxiliary moves based on the indiscernibles (since the order type of indiscernibles exceeds the Kleene–Brouwer order of the tree), which contradicts player 1 winning the auxiliary game.

Woodin cardinals
If there is a Woodin cardinal with a measurable cardinal above it, then Π12 determinacy holds. More generally, if there are n Woodin cardinals with a measurable cardinal above them all, then Π1n+1  determinacy holds. From Π1n+1 determinacy, it follows that there is a transitive inner model containing n Woodin cardinals.

$$\Delta^1_2$$ (lightface) determinacy is equiconsistent with a Woodin cardinal. If $$\Delta^1_2$$ determinacy holds, then for a Turing cone of x (that is for every real x of sufficiently high Turing degree), L[x] satisfies OD-determinacy (that is determinacy of games on integers of length ω and ordinal-definable payoff), and in HODL[x] $$\omega_2^{L[x]}$$ is a Woodin cardinal.

Projective determinacy
If there are infinitely many Woodin cardinals, then projective determinacy holds; that is, every game whose winning condition is a projective set is determined. From projective determinacy it follows that, for every natural number n, there is a transitive inner model that satisfies that there are n Woodin cardinals.

Axiom of determinacy
The axiom of determinacy, or AD, asserts that every two-player game of perfect information of length ω, in which the players play naturals, is determined.

AD is provably false from ZFC; using the axiom of choice one may prove the existence of a non-determined game. However, if there are infinitely many Woodin cardinals with a measurable above them all, then L(R) is a model of ZF that satisfies AD.

Regularity properties for sets of reals
If A is a subset of Baire space such that the Banach–Mazur game for A is determined, then either II has a winning strategy, in which case A is meager, or I has a winning strategy, in which case A is comeager on some open neighborhood.

This does not quite imply that A has the property of Baire, but it comes close: A simple modification of the argument shows that if Γ is an adequate pointclass such that every game in Γ is determined, then every set of reals in Γ has the property of Baire.

In fact this result is not optimal; by considering the unfolded Banach–Mazur game we can show that determinacy of Γ (for Γ with sufficient closure properties) implies that every set of reals that is the projection of a set in Γ has the property of Baire. So for example the existence of a measurable cardinal implies Π11 determinacy, which in turn implies that every Σ12 set of reals has the property of Baire.

By considering other games, we can show that Π1n determinacy implies that every Σ1n+1 set of reals has the property of Baire, is Lebesgue measurable (in fact universally measurable) and has the perfect set property.

Periodicity theorems

 * The first periodicity theorem implies that, for every natural number n, if Δ12n+1 determinacy holds, then Π12n+1 and Σ12n+2 have the prewellordering property (and that Σ12n+1 and Π12n+2 do not have the prewellordering property, but rather have the separation property).
 * The second periodicity theorem implies that, for every natural number n, if Δ12n+1 determinacy holds, then Π12n+1 and Σ12n have the scale property. In particular, if projective determinacy holds, then every projective relation has a projective uniformization.
 * The third periodicity theorem gives a sufficient condition for a game to have a definable winning strategy.

Applications to decidability of certain second-order theories
In 1969, Michael O. Rabin proved that the monadic second-order theory of n successors (S2S for n = 2) is decidable. A key component of the proof requires showing determinacy of parity games, which lie in the third level of the Borel hierarchy.

Wadge determinacy
Wadge determinacy is the statement that for all pairs A, B of subsets of Baire space, the Wadge game G(A ,B) is determined. Similarly for a pointclass Γ, Γ Wadge determinacy is the statement that for all sets A, B in Γ, the Wadge game G(A, B) is determined.

Wadge determinacy implies the semilinear ordering principle for the Wadge order. Another consequence of Wadge determinacy is the perfect set property.

In general, Γ Wadge determinacy is a consequence of the determinacy of Boolean combinations of sets in Γ. In the projective hierarchy, Π11 Wadge determinacy is equivalent to Π11 determinacy, as proved by Leo Harrington. This result was extended by Hjorth to prove that Π12 Wadge determinacy (and in fact the semilinear ordering principle for Π12) already implies Π12 determinacy.

Games in which the objects played are not natural numbers
Determinacy of games on ordinals with ordinal definable payoff and length ω implies that for every regular cardinal κ>ω there are no ordinal definable disjoint stationary subsets of κ made of ordinals of cofinality ω. The consistency strength of the determinacy hypothesis is unknown but is expected to be very high.

Long games
Existence of ω1 Woodin cardinals implies that for every countable ordinal α, all games on integers of length α and projective payoff are determined. Roughly speaking, α Woodin cardinals corresponds to determinacy of games on reals of length α (with a simple payoff set). Assuming a limit of Woodin cardinals κ with o(κ)=κ++ and ω Woodin cardinals above κ, games of variable countable length where the game ends as soon as its length is admissible relative to the line of play and with projective payoff are determined. Assuming that a certain iterability conjecture is provable, existence of a measurable Woodin cardinal implies determinacy of open games of length ω1 and projective payoff. (In these games, a winning condition for the first player is triggered at a countable stage, so the payoff can be coded as a set of reals.)

Relative to a Woodin limit of Woodin cardinals and a measurable above them, it is consistent that every game on integers of length ω1 and ordinal definable payoff is determined. It is conjectured that the determinacy hypothesis is equiconsistent with a Woodin limit of Woodin cardinals. ω1 is maximal in that there are undetermined games on integers of length ω1+ω and ordinal definable payoff.

Games of imperfect information
In any interesting game with imperfect information, a winning strategy will be a mixed strategy: that is, it will give some probability of differing responses to the same situation. If both players' optimal strategies are mixed strategies then the outcome of the game cannot be certainly determinant (as it can for pure strategies, since these are deterministic). But the probability distribution of outcomes to opposing mixed strategies can be calculated. A game that requires mixed strategies is defined as determined if a strategy exists that yields a minimum expected value (over possible counter-strategies) that exceeds a given value. Against this definition, all finite two-player zero-sum games are clearly determined. However, the determinacy of infinite games of imperfect information (Blackwell games) is less clear.

In 1969 David Blackwell proved that some "infinite games with imperfect information" (now called "Blackwell games") are determined, and in 1998 Donald A. Martin proved that ordinary (perfect-information game) determinacy for a boldface pointclass implies Blackwell determinacy for the pointclass. This, combined with the Borel determinacy theorem of Martin, implies that all Blackwell games with Borel payoff functions are determined. Martin conjectured that ordinary determinacy and Blackwell determinacy for infinite games are equivalent in a strong sense (i.e. that Blackwell determinacy for a boldface pointclass in turn implies ordinary determinacy for that pointclass), but as of 2010, it has not been proven that Blackwell determinacy implies perfect-information-game determinacy.

Moving or Motion?
One edit changed "moving" to "motion". The next cited a google search as authoritative (it's NOT!) and changed the name to motion/moving. So that everyone can trust i'm right, i'm going to cite two sources:
 * ISO page about MPEG
 * Official MPEG website

Both of them refer to the "Moving Pictures Experts Group" and are not ambiguous or unclear about it. I hope this clears things up. – Fudoreaper 04:28:20, 2005-09-02 (UTC)

Actually, those links refer to the "Moving Picture Experts Group" ("picture" is not plural). --Pangolin 17:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * And don't i feel like a fool now. Man.  Thanks Pangolin, you're correct. – Fudoreaper 21:02:14, 2005-09-05 (UTC)

 * Fudoreaper, I know the discussion above is ancient, but I had the same doubt just now and found this discussion while searching for relevant info. You see, I too distinctly remember the "M" in MPEG being expanded as "Motion" instead of "Moving", at least back in the day. See for example this page on the ISO site (July 2004) that states, "The ISO/IEC 14496 (MPEG-4) series has been developed by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) and defines the set of technologies for compression, encoding and delivery of complex audio-visual scenes composed of different media objects", or indeed this RFC page on the IETF site (Sept. 2003) where the title itself states, "A Uniform Resource Name (URN) Namespace for the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG)". I wonder if it is possible that "Motion" and "Moving" were used somewhat interchangeably back in the day? Perhaps the latter was changed to or standardized upon at some point in time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:201:4013:b07b:cd5:4452:f227:6bbb (talk) 00:00, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Request for license information.
As far as I know you need a license to legally encode (record/create) MP3 (and probably other codecs as well). On the other hand a license is not necessary to decode (play) MP3 files. It would be great if someone could put some informaton about licensing regarding these encodings. Jarl Friis 18:33, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I think this means that MPEG would now be described as a "collection of WGs and AGs". It's not simply SC 29 as that would also encompass JPEG. TD-Linux (talk) 22:42, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Singapore University of Social Sciences

The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) is a public autonomous university in Singapore. Established in 2017, SUSS focuses on applied degree programmes primarily in the social sciences. In 2017, SUSS received its inaugural class of 2,137 graduates.

SUSS is organised into 5 Academic Schools, Institute for Adult Learning (IAL), SUSS Academy, College of Interdisciplinary and Experiential Learning and 8 Centres.

The Patron of SUSS is Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the Chancellor is Halimah Yacob, and the Pro-Chancellor is Richard Eu. Key academic leaders include President Professor Tan Tai Yong and Provost Professor Robbie Goh.

The university is located at 463 Clementi Road (on the boundary of Bukit Timah and Clementi). SUSS also uses external premises to conduct lessons.

SIM University (2005–2017)
In 2005, SIM University (UniSIM) was a private university under the Singapore Institute of Management Group (SIM) established by Cham Tao Soon who became the first chancellor and chairman of UniSIM.

On 12 October 2016, Acting Minister for Education (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung announced that the government invited UniSIM to become Singapore's sixth autonomous university. Subsequently, on 11 November 2016, the SIM governing council voted in favour to bring the university under the ambit of the Ministry of Education (MOE).

In 2017, UniSIM was restructured into the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and cease to be a member of the SIM Group. SUSS became Singapore's sixth autonomous university under the ambit of MOE.

Establishment (2017–)
From 17 March 2017, SIM University was renamed as Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and brought under the ambit of the Ministry of Education (MOE).

Ong moved a bill in Parliament to confer SUSS autonomous status. This signalled the government's support for SUSS and was intended to assure the public of SUSS’ credibility and standing. It also enabled the government to lead SUSS to meet national education objectives, economic and social development while monitoring its financial performances. SUSS was officially granted autonomous status by the Singapore Government on 11 July 2017.

In 2017, SUSS conducted an exercise to issue SUSS certificates to those who was conferred with UniSIM certificates. A statement will indicate that the qualifications had been received under the former's name.

In 2017, SUSS marked its inaugural graduation as an autonomous university, with the first batch of SUSS graduates receiving degrees in the name of SUSS.

The university restructured to retain a "limited offering" in business and engineering programmes while increasing its offerings in social science programmes. All programmes will have curricula considering the social impacts on the community and have to partake a compulsory module in social sciences.

In 2019, SUSS enrolled most students in the areas of social sciences and social services.

From 1 April 2019, the Institute for Adult Learning (IAL) was restructured into an autonomous institute within SUSS. They will work together in course design, development and teaching adult students. SUSS will have access to IAL's research findings on the learning needs of students, while IAL will be able to research using SUSS's student data and its adult student learning experience to train adult educators. The university will accredit and issue qualifications on tertiary programmes run by IAL.

In Jan 2024, SUSS changes its Chinese name from 新加坡新跃社科大学 to 新加坡社科大学.

In 2014, SUSS (under its former name SIM University) started its full-time programmes that take on the applied degree pathway with emphasis on practice-oriented teaching.
