Gaming News 2 1 Thursday, October 5, 2017 OM: ADLINK's solutions follow the concept of "Application Ready Intelligent Platforms" (ARIPs), which can drastical- ly improve the customer's time to market. Our gaming PC platforms feature leading flexibility and scalability: the ARIP solutions typically comprise a Box PC, various extension cards for security and data/event logging (ADi-BSEC) and the integration of input and output devices (ADi-BACC), as well as the intelligent software application interface (ADiAPI). The flexible use of processors in our infotainment platforms, ranging from Intel ® Celeron ® to the 7th generation of Intel's high-end Core™ i7 CPU with up to 4.2 GHz provides a very scalable range of CPU power. In addition, we can offer an extensive choice of graphics cards to match any GPU requirement in the market. Using our extension boards with the ADiDLL/ADiAPI software solution sim- plifies the integration of peripheral devices and dedicated input and output devices. Our software is also very flexible – it either provides raw mode access to the security and I/O hardware (ADiDLL), or alternatively, provides an abstraction layer (ADiAPI) where customers do not have to implement software protocols ADLINK (Cont'd. from p. 1) such as ccTalk on their side any more. GN: Which current trends do you con- sider important, and will you follow these new trends? OM: Currently we consider the trend towards high-performance graphics cards in gaming to be of high importance for us. Increasing display resolutions (4k/UHD) in conjunction with multi- monitor gaming applications and improved 3D graphics demand higher GPU performance levels. We have recognized this customer demand and now introduce our redesigned SA1X Box PC, which sup- ports graphic cards up to 180W TDP and 285mm length. GN: In summary, what key benefits do your solutions offer? OM: Our gaming platforms offer very flexible, scalable solutions that can easi- ly be tailored to meet specific hardware and software requirements and therefore drastically improve the time to market for our customers.

Shaping the Next Generation of American Indian Leaders American Indian tribes and peoples are stakeholders in the modern economy and global challenges. Ensuring that their children are prepared to actively lead and participate in tribal government and eco- nomic pursuits is a critical interest for tribal people, as well as participating as leaders in state, regional, national and global agendas that affect the health and welfare of tribal people and lands. The Lucy Covington Center at Eastern Washington University (EWU) will be a cultural, spiritual and academic anchor for American Indian students where indigenous values and knowledge forge an interdisciplinary education focused on leadership and college gradu- ation, thus transforming lives, families and communities. The vision for the Center (which will be located on the EWU Campus in Cheney, Washington) is to nurture a national community of students, indige- nous scholars and tribal leaders in the spirit of Lucy Covington's example for the benefit of EWU students' success. The Center will cultivate cross-cultural collaboration led by American Indian values and indigenous knowledge, and encourage students to go forth, lead and bring together people of all races to tack- le the most pressing issues facing their tribes and humanity today. The Lucy Covington Center at EWU will ensure affordable access to quality education for American Indian students, inspire young American Indian people to attend college and graduate and be instru- mental in shaping generations of America's Indian leaders who will continue – in the spirit of Lucy Covington – to protect and enhance the welfare of their tribes and all people. Against great odds, Lucy Covington, a long-time tribal rights activist and Colville Tribal Council member, helped change the course of American Indian history through her courageous and selfless style of leader- ship. Covington was one of many tribal peoples who worked in the 1950s and 1960s to bring an end to "termina- tion" – an ill-conceived federal policy designed to gain control of land and nat- ural resources from tribal ownership by terminating tribal status. Lucy worked with members of her own and other tribes to help preserve tribal sovereignty and self-determination for the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and Indian tribes across America. Covington's actions and success contributed toward reversing the United States government's effort to extinguish its responsibilities to American Indian tribes and helped shift fed- eral government policy from ter- mination to sovereignty for American Indians. Training the next generation of American Indian political leaders was embedded in Lucy Covington's work. She knew that the fight for tribal sover- eignty would never end – new laws would erode tribal sovereignty one-by- one. The Lucy Covington Center at EWU will be instrumental in shaping the next generation of tribal leaders who will, in the spirit of Lucy Covington, continue to protect and enhance the welfare of their tribes.
