Palkumbura

  • [https://amazinglanka.com/wp/palkumbura-raja-maha-viharaya/ Palkumbura Raja Maha Viharaya]
  • Palkumbura was granted to a Buddhist priest by King Jayaweera Astana (1511 to 1551) in recognition of transcribing the Visuddhimagga.
  • The first priest to hold Palkumbura was Buwanekabahu Thero, who later passed it to his nephew, Buwanekabahu Panditha Mudiyanse.
  • During King Rajasinha I's persecution of Buddhism, Buwanekabahu Panditha Mudiyanse retained Palkumbura and gained favor with King Senarat (1604–1635).
  • His successor, another Buwanekabahu Thero, built a new vihare (temple) at Palkumbura.
  • Under King Sri Vikrama Rajasinghe, in 1726, a fresh copper plate dedication was issued after the original was found charred and half-burnt.

On March 20, 2021, a passenger bus fell off a cliff near Passara, Uva Province, Sri Lanka, killing the driver and 13 passengers, and injuring 31 people, with over 70 passengers reported. The bus was traveling from Lunugala to Colombo, and was {{convert|240|km|mi}} east from its destination when it swerved to avoid an oncoming truck. Police spokesman Ajith Rohana blamed the incident on driver negligence following an initial investigation. The incident is the deadliest road accident in the country since the Polgahawela level crossing incident in 2005.{{cite news|url=https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/bus-crash-central-sri-lanka-kills-13-people-76573866|title=Bus crash in central Sri Lanka kills 14 people, injures 31|date=20 March 2021|access-date=24 March 2021|department=International|work=ABC News}}https://economynext.com/rda-investigating-deadly-bus-accident-site-79996/

Most of the Indians here in Maryland belonged to the Algonquins. They were friendly to the white men who first came to the new land, but the Susquehannoughs were more war-like and stirred up trouble wherever they could among both White men and Indians. [11]

Methods of cooking corn were passed from the Indians to the settlers. [12]

The game ends when the player fails to keep the ducks in the air and a duck hits the ground.

Players can unlock different characters which they can play with. There are also different pets players can unlock to help them.

Waifu Labs is a website developed by Sizigi Studios, featuring their Waifu Vending Machine, an artificial intelligence which generates a customized waifu, a fictional female character from an anime or manga to whom one is attracted.{{Cite news |url=https://medium.com/syncedreview/meet-your-ai-generated-dream-anime-girl-5dc149c5eab4 |title=Meet Your AI-Generated Dream Anime Girl |last=Peng |first=Tony |date=July 25, 2019 |work=Medium |access-date=January 11, 2020}}{{Cite news |url=https://futurism.com/the-byte/ai-generate-waifu-body-pillows |title=Cursed Site Uses AI to Generate "Waifus" |last=Robitszki |first=Dan |date=September 30, 2019 |work=Futurism |access-date=January 11, 2020}}

Waifu Vending Machine

The Waifu Vending Machines generates a grid of sixteen fictional female characters, from which users can choose a character or refresh the grid to generate another sixteen characters. The chosen character is displayed on a grid in different colors, from which users can then choose an option. Users continually choose different options, narrowing down their preferences, featuring details such as hairstyles, clothing, facial features, and pose, ultimately producing a waifu for the user.

After users are finished, they can download an image of the character, as well as buy a pillow and poster featuring the character for $90 and $25 USD respectively. The website also applies a Japanese name to the character, and presents a "certificate of adoption."

Development

The Waifu Vending Machine was developed by games studio Sizigi Studios. The AI was trained using generative adversarial networks, according to Kevin Frans, a team member who is an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was brought to the 2019 Anime Expo, an anime convention held in Los Angeles, California, in July 2019, where it gained popularity. The line for the booth reportedly extended outside of the venue.

Sizigi Studios has received requests to create a similar artificial intelligence to generate "husbando", the male equivalents of waifu.

Reception

The AI was praised by Synced, who stated that the Waifu Vending Machine provides "immediate visual feedback and only needs five minutes to generate a custom Waifu," and that it is an effective alternative to commissioned drawings by sketch artists, which are common at anime conventions. Chinese technology website Leiphone.com listed Waifu Labs as one of the seventeen "best machine learning projects of 2019" in their "Reddit annual inventory," in which significant submissions from the r/MachineLearning Reddit Internet forum are listed.{{Cite news |url=https://www.leiphone.com/news/201912/zErSsiZVfGn79Uv0.html |title=Reddit年度盘点：2019年最佳机器学习项目 |last=skura |date=December 20, 2019 |access-date=January 11, 2020 |department=Artificial Intelligence |language=ch |trans-title=Reddit annual inventory: best machine learning projects of 2019 |website=leiphone.com}}

History

Plans for the construction of the school were announced by Baltimore County Public Schools executives on December 10, 1958, due to overcrowding issues. It was designed as a one-story building with a capacity of 1,350 students. The cost to build the school was about $230,000 less than other Baltimore County Public Schools, mostly due to it being a one-story building.

The school was constructed in 1960 and completed by August of that year.{{Cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/43831421/ |title=Record 86,145 Pupils Are Expected In Baltimore County |date=August 15, 1960 |work=The Baltimore Sun |access-date=February 8, 2020}}{{Cite news |last=Efford |first=Lawrence W. |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/43831309/ |title=Baltimore County To Open 7 New Schools In September |date=July 6, 1960 |work=The Baltimore Sun |access-date=February 8, 2020}} It was designed by architecture firm Tyler, Ketcham & Meyers and built by general contractor Henry A.
