![]() ![]() Roman Consul Gaius Marius substantially expanded the Roman army by including all of its male citizens and made key improvements to soldiers’ clothing, weapons, and gear.įor reasons unknown, the barbarian masses altered their path and veered away from Italy. Approximately 80,000 legionnaires and 40,000 noncombatants lost their lives, leaving Rome open to being conquered. The resulting defeat was the worst Rome had suffered since the catastrophe at Cannae more than a century earlier. The barbarians quickly overran Caepio’s base and then annihilated Maximus’s army and camp. His army was not only stopped, but the Cimbri and Teutones counterattacked and destroyed it. Without informing Maximus of his intentions, the proconsul hastily attacked the barbarians. Instead of having one of the largest Roman armies ever put into the field, the forces were divided with Caepio having erected his base in front of Maximus’s camp. Bad relations and jealousy led to separate plans and camps. Because Maximus lacked military experience and was a novus homo, the first of his family to serve in the Roman Senate, Caepio refused to serve under or even cooperate with him. Consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus led a consular army north from Rome to join forces with Proconsul Quintus Servilius Caepio, whose army was already in the region dealing with border violations. At that point, the Cimbri were joined by the Teutones, Ambrones, and Tigurini in their migration across Europe.Īnother significant loss occurred on October 6, 105 bc, at Arausio on the Rhone River. The clash ended with a heavy Roman defeat the following year at Noreia. A miscommunication led to a local Roman commander’s attempt of a surprise assault on the Cimbri. Looking for sufficient lands to settle, the Cimbri arrived in Noricum, the land of Roman allies known as the Taurisci in 113 bc. The road to this crucial battle in southeast Gaul began years before with the rise of the Cimbri, who hailed from the Jutland peninsula. More important, if Marius lost, the Teutones would have an open road to Rome. ![]() Marius, in an unprecedented third consecutive term as consul, would learn if the past two years of training and conditioning his army had been worth the time, effort, and resources. Although the two sides had clashed previously, that engagement involved only a small portion of both the Roman and barbarian forces. Starting from where the Isere River flows into the Rhone, the enemy’s route had led him to Aquae Sextiae, now known as Aix-en-Provence. Marius and his army had been trailing a pair of Celto-Germanic tribes, the Teutones and Ambrones, for the past few weeks. In the evening hours on a midsummer day in 102 bc, Roman Consul Gaius Marius decided that tomorrow was to be the day to confront the barbarians.

Their united imaginations are strong enough to make the Headmaster’s machine malfunction. He’s just about to go under when Milo returns. Sam fights the machine with all his mental powers. That’s what “upgrading” means! The Headmaster keeps the imaginations of all the pupils in jars, like trophies – and Sam’s is next. ![]() There, he discovers, the Headmaster – and his vile, PE-teaching henchman Mr Gruntt – have a machine that can actually remove a pupil’s imagination. Oogie distracts the other IFs with a song and dance so that Milo can escape – but he might already be too late! Sam has been captured and sent to the Headmaster’s office. Milo, meanwhile, finds that Big Brenda has locked the doors of Imaginary Land so he can’t get back and help Sam. If the Minister approves his technique, all the children in the country – the world – will be upgraded! He’ll have to hurry: Sam is being hunted! The Minister of Education is going to visit the school and the Headmaster needs Sam so he can demonstrate his upgrading technique. Sam and Milo reconnect, and Milo promises to return to the real world and help Sam. As Sam’s mum encourages Sam to bring Milo back if that’s what will solve his problems, Oogie helps Milo remember Sam. In Imaginary Land, Milo meets Oogie – the only IF who won’t join Big Brenda’s party and forget his human friend. Sam is now alone and he doesn’t know what to do. Just as they’re about to leave, Alice is discovered, captured and upgraded. Sam and Alice hide while the Teachers reminisce about how happy they were in the days before upgrading – when children were still naughty and could be punished. The office is locked, so they sneak into the Staff Room to steal the key but, before they can escape, the Teachers appear. Meanwhile, in the real world, Sam and Alice need to get into the Headmaster’s office so they can find out the truth about his upgrading technique and stop it. ![]() Life there is one long party for the IFs but Milo is still unhappy and won’t join in so Brenda tricks him into forgetting Sam. At first, Milo refuses to believe this, but as the realisation sinks in, he is visited by Big Brenda, an extraordinary-looking creature who has come to take him to Imaginary Land, the place where all “IFs” (imaginary friends) are sent once their human friends no longer believe in them. Milo persists until Sam loses his temper and tells Milo a terrible truth: Milo isn’t real – he’s Sam’s imaginary friend. Milo, meanwhile, has grown jealous of Alice, but when he tells Sam to stop spending time with her, Sam refuses. ![]() It won’t be easy but Sam believes that the code of loyalty he learned when having imaginary adventures with Milo – “never leave a man behind” – will give them the strength to defeat the forces of darkness. Sam vows to help Alice stop the Headmaster and set the upgraded pupils free. Sam has made friends with another pupil, Alice, who knows there’s something sinister behind all this: one of the upgraded pupils is her sister, whose kindness and creativity have been extinguished by the process. The Headmaster explains to the new arrivals that this is the result of his pioneering teaching technique and these “upgraded” pupils are guaranteed exam success.Īs the term goes on, more and more of Sam’s classmates are sent to the Headmaster’s office to be upgraded. Their super-disciplined way of moving and speaking puts Milo in mind of “Martian battle robots”. When Sam and Milo arrive at the school the next morning, they notice something strange about the older pupils. Sam’s mum comes to tell him it’s time to go in: tomorrow is his first day at secondary school and he has to stop playing and grow up. As they play in the small garden of Sam’s new house, they use their imaginations to turn the ordinary world around them into a place of wonder and adventure. Sam and Milo are 11 years old and best friends. ![]() If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your physician or 911 immediately.

The result of all this, is the Digital Library of Old Spanish Texts, launched in 2011 with the publication of the Prose Works of Alfonso X el Sabio. In 2005, the HSMS began exploring the possibility of offering all of its textual archives in an on-line format that, while preserving the original structure, allowed for a truly interactive access to the texts, indexes and concordances. ![]() Almost two decades later, in 1997, the Texts and Concordances began to be published in CD-ROM, and although the new physical support allowed for easier access to the transcriptions-dedicated microfiche readers were no longer needed-the texts and concordances were still non-interactive flat files that didn't allow scholars to take full advantage of their possibilities. In 1978 the HSMS published on microfiche The Concordances and Texts of the Royal Scriptorium Manuscripts of Alfonso X, the first of the Texts and Concordances series which, throughout the years, has added to the DOSL archives a large number of additional texts-close to 500 at last count. Their main project, the Dictionary of the Old Spanish Language (DOSL),that had rejected the use of editions of medieval texts as the source material, demanded that the primary sources were as free from editorial bias as possible, and making thus necessary the creation of a data bank with the machine-readable transcriptions of all the texts that could eventually be incorporated into the dictionary. Wordly Translation Tips Old Spanish: The earliest form of the Spanish language is known as Old Spanish and dates back to the 9th century. Nitti, then professors of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, began using computers as an important tool for the compilation of dictionaries and the analysis of texts.

T-Mobile may use 1700/2100MHz for their 4G. For example, AT&T and Verizon may use 700MHz for their 4G LTE service. For 4G, carriers may use different frequencies. Most US cellular service providers use wireless networks that are within 800MHz or 1900MHz frequency ranges. The cell amplifier used must match the frequency used by your service provider. A good cellular amplifier will have oscillation control and will monitor the power of the amplifier to and from a tower. The maximum power allowed with the US is 3 watts. The power required is just enough to get the necessary coverage inside and not negatively affect a service provider's tower and knock other customers off (read "Oscillation Control" below). The output power of an amplifier can be used as a relative measure of power when communicating with your service provider's tower. It's important to note that the higher the gain, the more separation distance required between the inside and outside antenna (Read more in "Oscillation Control" below). So why don't you just purchase the booster with the highest gain? Cost and antenna separation requirements. If one amplifier has 3db gain more than another amplifier, the amplifier with 3db more gain will cover roughly twice the area. ![]() The higher the gain, the more area is typically covered. A few key factors on amplifiers are:Īmplifier Gain is used as a relative measure of improved cellular coverage area inside. It takes the outside signal, amplifies it then rebroadcasts the signal through the system's inside antenna. The cellular amplifier is the heart of the repeater system. Dome antennas can also be used as a wall mount antenna for applications requiring wider, shorter coverage. Use when you want a more focused signal radiated a longer distance. Panel Antennas have higher gains and radiate at a smaller angle than the Dome antenna. Panel Antennas are typically used as wall mount antennas. Panel antennas radiate at about 60 degrees downward from the ceiling. Panel antennas can be ceiling mounted on taller ceilings like those found in warehouses. They work best when used in 2 story applications where the antenna mounts between floors. Dual polarity Dome antennas will radiate a small distance upwards as well as downwards. They are directional and radiate at 360 degrees horizontally and about 150 degrees vertically. Typically, Dome Antennas are mounted on ceilings. How you plan to install an inside antenna will have a bearing on which antenna will work best for your installation. Just like outside antennas, inside antennas can be omni-directional or directional. Use a directional if your installation requires the strongest signal and your service provider(s) are located in one direction. And, each service providers tower is in different directions, an omni-directional antenna is best.ĭirectional antennas have higher gains because their radiation pattern focuses in one direction. For instance, use an omni-directional antenna if your repeater system installation goal is to obtain a signal from several service providers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile for example). Omni-directional building antennas are best for capturing a signal from several towers in the area. ![]() The outside antenna can be omni-directional (capturing a cellular signal from around its whip, or it can also be a directional antenna (sending and receiving the signal in one direction). Here is an excellent video by Wilson Electronics on how an In-Building Signal Booster. The signal is amplified and sent back to the tower via the outside antenna. The inside antenna captures the signal, and it travels to the amplifier. Sending a cellular signal works in reverse. The signal is then amplified and rebroadcast through the Inside antenna. The signal transfers to the Cellular Repeater Amplifier through a cable. The Basic SystemĪ cell repeater system is a system that takes the cellular signal from outside a building, amplifies it, then repeats (rebroadcasts) the signal inside of a building.Ī simple repeater system consists of 3 essential components:Ī cellular repeater system captures the signal using the Outside Antenna.
