[edit] Eclipse Game Engine
Eclipse is the name of a small game engine created in 2005 by a company called "Touch Of Death Productions". It was originally created with Visual Basic 6. It used a already existing engines source code by the name of Mirage Source. After failing at producing anything noticeable the team decided to use a more updated version of the source code. The new source code was called Konfuze.
Armed with a more updated source the Eclipse team of programmers started to program the new engine. The Konfuze engine now became known as Elysium. The programmers of Eclipse then started taking all the tutorials that were made for the engine and started to put them into the engine. This created a newer version of the source code with many more features. Once Eclipse started to gain popularity the users at Elysium Source claimed that the engine was stolen becouse of the lack of custom programming. The terms of use on the source code made it clear that this was not the case and Eclipse continued to prosper.
At the date of this article February 12th 2007 Eclipse continues to prosper with a large community. It has also gone through a large stream of programmers and has now become a custom engine all its own.

[edit] Requeixo-Aveiro
== História ==
Requeixo é uma Freguesia do concelho de Aveiro, situada a Sul deste.
A sua origem longínqua e de não fácil determinação, porém, são conhecidas algumas referências que nos ajudam a desenhar a sua existência.
Em 1209, Requeixo e a sua Igreja são referidos no relatório das Igrejas da Diocese de Coimbra; em 1494, El-Rei D. João II deu Requeixo e o julgado de Eixo a D. Diogo Lopes de Sousa, o Moço; em 1516 El-Rei D. Manuel I concedeu foral novo aos “concelhos e terra de Eixo e Requeixo”, o que atesta já por esta altura a importância desta última Freguesia; em 1756, o Capelão Dr. Manuel Gonçalves fez o relatório do terramoto de 1755, que também se sentiu em Requeixo, mas não provocou algum dano.
De facto a Freguesia de Requeixo foi em tempos a maior Freguesia do Concelho de Aveiro e incluía no seu território os lugares de S. Paio, Lagoinha; Carregal, Sanguinheira, Mamodeiro, Fermentelos, o ramo de São Bento de Nariz com os lugares de Nariz, Cabeço da Eireira, Canissaia, Porto de Ílhavo, Verba, Vessada e Ramalheira e o ramo de São Bento da Póvoa do Valado com os lugares da Póvoa do Valado, Perajorge, Granja e Cavadinha.
Nos dias de hoje, Requeixo passou de maior a uma das mais pequenas Freguesias do concelho devido às desanexões efectuadas a partir do século XVIII. A cronologia das separações das Freguesias é a seguinte:
- 1738 – El-Rei D. João V deu permissão para que o lugar de Fermentelos se separasse de Requeixo; - 1960 – Foi instituída a Paróquia Eclesiástica de Nossa Senhora de Fátima que se compunha pelos lugares da Póvoa do Valado, Mamodeiro e Perajorge, que em 1985 se transformaram na Freguesia de Nossa Senhora de Fátima, ultima a ser desanexada.
Actualmente, a Freguesia encontra-se situada num ponto mais elevado da encosta, mais seco e saudável, junto da Capela de Santo Amaro, diferente do local de origem, junto à Igreja de S. Paio, padroeiro da Freguesia, e que terá sido abandonado devido ao medo das doenças provindas do espaço alagadiço da Pateira.
Hoje em dia, este volta a ser um lugar de repovoamento, fomentado também por algumas infra-estruturas que começam a aparecer.
== Topónimo ==
É inconclusiva a origem deste topónimo. No entanto, este também se encontra noutros concelhos, todos no Norte do país e com variações como Requeijo, Requeixo e Requeijô.
Também a nossa vizinha Espanha possui uma série de designações semelhantes, tais como Requeijo, Requejo, Requeixolo, entre outros.
É precisamente partindo do Espanhol que podemos sugerir um significado para esta palavra. Segundo o Dicc. De Gallego, Requeijo singifica “um sítio onde o terreno sofre um desnível e forma uma ladeira ou declive, para depois continuar em planura”.
Se em português atribuíssemos o significado de “pequena encosta que termina em área plana”, não estávamos certamente muito longe da verdade, e tínhamos uma grande afinidade com o actual Requeixo.

[edit] Task Force Scorpio
Task Force Scorpio was a biological and chemical response team that was activated during the first gulf war to respond to any potential use of weapons of mass destruction on civilians. The task force was composed of volunteer swiss members of the Disaster Relief Unit, equipped with the latest chemical and biological protection equipement, immunized against agents suspected for battlefied use and had it's own jet transportation. The members of the team were to travel under swiss diplomatic transport anywhere in the world within 24 hours of activation.
The task of the force was to arrive on contaminated land, contain the danger and assess damage to the civilian population, respond to it and coordinate the response from other international relief agencies.
Task Force Scorpio was under the orders of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and was ready for active duty of the 28 February 1991, in time for the first Gulf War. They were not deployed.
The Task force was founded by Dr Robert Steffen of the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Zurich, Switzerland and co-founded by Jack Woodall.
The Task force was deactivated after the first gulf war. But the WHO approached the swiss government to reactivate it in January 2003. It was to be renamed Swiss/European WMD Task Force. No information has been published about it's reactivation.
