Cloud gaming is a technology that enables users to stream games from remote servers. With a cloud gaming system, you don’t have to download and set up games on your PC or gaming console. Instead, cloud game servers need a stable internet connection to send game data to an app or browser on a device running the game. 4, record 1, English, - cloud%20gaming

A few factors likely made boss keys within games more common in the 1980s and early 1990s than they are today. Back then, most MS-DOS PCs [Microsoft disk operating system for the personal computers] were single-tasking machines, so you couldn’t quickly Alt+Tab away from the game to another window like you can today. Also, The Encyclopedia of Video Games speculates that boss keys were more popular when PC clones were more expensive and more likely to be located at work than in the home. 2, record 4, English, - boss%20button

A scoring system in which a maximum of 7 points(sum of the scores of both players) constitutes a game. In such a system the traditional way of keeping score, i. e. 15-30-40 may be replaced with 1-2-3, or the traditional way may be retained until the score reaches 3-3(=40-all or "deuce"), in which case the next point is to be the game point for both sides, with the receiver to elect which side(s) he will return the serve. The purpose of using this system is to limit the number of deuces that can occur in the game, hence speeding up the match overall. 3, record 14, English, - no%2Dad

Pitch and putt is an amateur sport, similar to golf. The maximum hole length for international competitions is 90 metres(100 yd) with a maximum total course length of 1, 200 metres(1, 310 yd). Players may... use [a maximum of three clubs, one of which must be] a putter. The game is played from raised artificial teeing surfaces using a tee and it has its own handicap system. The game was developed mainly in Ireland... but is today a growing sport all over the world. It is organized internationally by the European Pitch and Putt Association since 1999, by the International Pitch and Putt Federation since 2006 and by the International Pitch and Putt Associations since 2009. In all cases pitch and putt has its own handicap system and applies the rules of FIPPA with the exceptions that are specifically approved in each country. 2, record 15, English, - pitch%20and%20putt

Le Pitch and Putt est un parcours de golf dimension réduite. Sa superficie varie entre 5 et 15 hectares. Il est destiné aux golfeurs de tous niveaux. Ce type de parcours fut créé en 1929 en Irlande pour permettre à toutes classes sociales d'y jouer. C'est le golf des "travailleurs". Moins cher à la construction et à l'entretien, il permet donc de jouer ou de découvrir le jeu à moindre coût. Le parcours se fait avec 3 clubs maximum dont le putteur (au lieu de 14) et la distance de chaque trou doit être comprise entre 40 et 90 mètres seulement (contre parfois près de 500 mètres pour les trous les plus longs au golf classique). Un parcours Pitch and Putt est composé de 9 ou 18 trous de par 3. 8, record 15, French, - parcours%20%C3%A0%20normale%20trois

To determine the impact of the planetary-scale Asian monsoon variability on regional or basin-scale hydrological cycle and water management is another essential part of this program.

Renovation... an intensive program of deep drilling was initiated to reach the gravel blanket located 18 to 20 inches beneath the surface. As the drills slowly permeated the turf profile, excavated soil was deposited on the surface. Each of the holes was then backfilled with clean sand to establish stable drainage channels between the surface and the gravel blanket. Excess sand and excavated soil were removed and the area brushed clean of all debris. An aggressive program of sand topdressing has augmented the sand blanket initially placed at the surface when sand-based sod was planted immediately following the Rutgers game in late September, 1993. The current system thus includes : 1. a porous sand blanket at the surface; 2. a highly porous gravel blanket located 18 to 20 inches below the surface; 3. multiple porous sand channels connecting the sand and gravel blankets. 2, record 20, English, - gravel%20blanket

The BLOCKS tutor(Brown and Burton, 1978b) is based on a game in manipulatory mathematics that uses the concept of(attribute blocks)(Greenes et al., 1972) to exercise the student's deductive abilities of the type necessary for(troubleshooting.) In the game as implemented, a block is defined by three attributes : its size(large or small), its color(red, yellow, green, or blue), and its shape(triangle, square, circle, or diamond). In the card A and card B each state one attribute value(e. g., large) or the negation of a value(e. g., not blue). Thus they each define a set of blocks. These two sets, with their union and their intersection, define four areas as shown in the diagram. The contents of the two cards are not shown to the student, who must deduce them by a sequence of queries. For each query, he chooses one block and asks the system in which of the four areas the block should be placed according to the cards’ contents. If each new block is chosen judiciously, knowing where it belongs narrows the range of possible values for the cards until these values are uniquely determined. The skill of the game is then to select blocks whose placement is expected to provide a maximum of information about the cards. This is analogous to selecting optimal measurements in(troubleshooting.) 1, record 24, English, - attribute%20block
