Periphery (band)
Periphery is an American progressive metal band that was formed in Washington, D.C., in 2005. Their musical style has been described as progressive metal, djent, and progressive metalcore.

The band consists of vocalist Spencer Sotelo, guitarists Misha Mansoor, Mark Holcomb, Jake Bowen, and drummer Matt Halpern. Since their Periphery (album), self-titled debut, the band has released an additional six albums: ''Periphery II: This Time It's Personal'', the double album ''Juggernaut: Alpha'' and ''Juggernaut: Omega, Omega'', ''Periphery III: Select Difficulty'', ''Periphery IV: Hail Stan'' and ''Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre''.

Periphery (album)
''Periphery'' is the debut studio album by American progressive metal band Periphery. It was released on April 20, 2010 through Sumerian Records, and was produced by the band themselves and Matt Murphy. Many songs on the tracklist had been written long before the release date—with some written by original lead vocalist Casey Sabol—but due to membership changes, the album was postponed on several occasions. Former vocalist Chris Barretto had nearly finished recording the album before he and the band parted ways months before its release. Rather than release the songs with Barretto's vocals, the band decided to rerecord Barretto's songs with Spencer Sotelo; however, Sotelo only re-worked a few of the melodies when recording vocals, versus writing completely new lyrics. As a result, Sabol's and Barretto's lyrics and vocal melodies and harmonies are still featured on the record. The album was re-released on February 6, 2012 as a 'Special Edition' including instrumentals, along wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Periphery Countries
In world-systems theory, periphery countries are those that are less developed than the semi-periphery and core countries. These countries usually receive a disproportionately small share of global wealth. They have weak state institutions and are dependent on—and, according to some, exploited by— more developed countries. These countries are usually behind because of obstacles such as lack of technology, unstable government, and poor education and health systems. In some instances, the exploitation of periphery countries' agriculture, cheap labor, and natural resources aid core countries in remaining dominant. This is best described by dependency theory,Thomas Shannon. An Introduction to the World-System Perspective. 1996. which is one theory on how globalization can affect the world and the countries in it. It is, however, possible for periphery countries to rise out of their status and move into semi-periphery or core status. This can be done by doing things such a ...

Peripheral
A peripheral device, or simply peripheral, is an auxiliary hardware device that a computer uses to transfer information externally. A peripheral is a hardware component that is accessible to and controlled by a computer but is not a core component of the computer. A peripheral can be categorized based on the direction in which information flows relative to the computer: * The computer receives data from an '' input device''; examples: mouse, keyboard, scanner, game controller, microphone and webcam * The computer sends data to an '' output device''; examples: monitor, printer, headphones, and speakers * The computer sends and receives data via an ''input/output device''; examples: storage device (such as disk drive, solid-state drive, USB flash drive, memory card and tape drive), modem, router, gateway and network adapter Many modern electronic devices, such as Internet-enabled digital watches, video game consoles, smartphones, and tablet computers, have in ...

BattleTech
''BattleTech'' is a wargaming and military science fiction franchise launched by FASA Corporation in 1984, acquired by WizKids in 2001, which was in turn acquired by Topps in 2003; and published since 2007 by Catalyst Game Labs.

The Idler Wheel

Periphery (France)
A periphery, (''Fr: couronne'') is an INSEE (French demographic statistics institution) statistical area designating a commuter belt around an urban unit (''Fr: unité urbaine''). Together these complete the INSEE urban area statistical area. Based on France's '' commune'' system (interlocking administrative subdivisions often comparable to civil parishes, towns or cities A city is a human settlement of a substantial size. The term "city" has different meanings around the world and in some places the settlement can be very small. Even where the term is limited to larger settlements, there is no universally agree ...), a commune is considered part of a couronne when # it is not densely constructed enough or is too isolated to be part of any '' unité urbaine'' (or "'' pôle urbain''" if it is the core of the agglomeration), and # at least 40% of its population commutes to workplaces in a '' unité urbaine'' or '' pôle urbain'', or to another commune connected to a '' unité urb ...

The Peripheral
''The Peripheral'' is a 2014 science fiction mystery-thriller novel by William Gibson set in near- and post-apocalyptic versions of the future. The story focuses on a young rural-town American woman who lives in the near future, and on a London publicist who lives 70 years thereafter. Gibson's 2020 book '' Agency'' is set in the same world. A television series adaptation of ''The Peripheral'', produced by Amazon, began streaming in October 2022. Summary The novel focuses on Flynne and her brother, Burton. When Burton is hired for a security job which takes place in what he thinks is cyberspace and Flynne temporarily takes his place, she witnesses a possible murder. According to ''GQ''s Zach Baron: Plot The novel begins sometime in the near-future in a small town in rural America. Flynne Fisher works at a local 3D printing shop and lives with her mother and her brother Burton, who sustained brain trauma from cybernetic implants he received while serving in the U.S. M ...

Boundary Parallel
In mathematics, a boundary parallel, ∂-parallel, or peripheral closed ''n''-manifold ''N'' embedded in an (''n'' + 1)-manifold ''M'' is one for which there is an isotopy of ''N'' onto a boundary component of ''M''.Definition 3.4.7 in An example Consider the annulus I \times S^1. Let denote the projection map :\pi\colon I \times S^1 \rightarrow S^1,\quad (x, z) \mapsto z. If a circle ''S'' is embedded into the annulus so that restricted to ''S'' is a bijection, then ''S'' is boundary parallel. (The converse is not true.) If, on the other hand, a circle ''S'' is embedded into the annulus so that restricted to ''S'' is not surjective, then ''S'' is not boundary parallel. (Again, the converse is not true.) Image:Annulus.circle.pi 1-injective.png, An example in which is not bijective on ''S'', but ''S'' is ∂-parallel anyway.

Peripheral Cycle
In graph theory, a peripheral cycle (or peripheral circuit) in an undirected graph is, intuitively, a cycle that does not separate any part of the graph from any other part. Peripheral cycles (or, as they were initially called, peripheral polygons, because Tutte called cycles "polygons") were first studied by , and play important roles in the characterization of planar graphs and in generating the cycle spaces of nonplanar graphs. Definitions A peripheral cycle C in a graph G can be defined formally in one of several equivalent ways: *C is peripheral if it is a simple cycle in a connected graph with the property that, for every two edges e_1 and e_2 in G\setminus C, there exists a path in G that starts with e_1, ends with e_2, and has no interior vertices belonging to C.. *If C is any subgraph of G, a ''bridge'' of C is a minimal subgraph B of G that is edge-disjoint from C and that has the property that all of its points of attachments (vertices adjacent to edges in both B an ...

Peripheries Of Greece
The regions of Greece () are the country's thirteen second-level administrative entities, counting decentralized administrations of Greece as first-level. Regions are divided into regional units, known as prefectures until 2011. History The current regions were established in July 1986 (the presidential decree officially establishing them was signed in 1987), by decision of the interior minister, Menios Koutsogiorgas, as second-level administrative entities, complementing the prefectures (Law 1622/1986). Ν.1622/86 "Τοπική Αυτοδιοίκηση - Περιφερειακή Ανάπτυξη - Δημοκρατικός Προγραμματισμός", (ΦΕΚ 92/τ.Α΄/14-7-1986) Before 1986, there was a traditional division into broad historical–geographical regions (γεωγραφικά διαμερίσματα), which, however, was often arbitrary; not all of the pre-1986 traditional historical-geographic regions had official administrative bodies.
