Agoli-agbo
Agoli-agbo is considered to have been the twelfth, and last, King of Dahomey. He
took the throne after the previous king, Behanzin, went into exile after a
failed war with France. He was in power from 1894 to 1900.
The exile of Behanzin did not legalize the French colonization. The French
general Alfred Dodds offered the throne to every one of the immediate royal
family, in return for a signature on a treaty establishing a French protectorate
over the Kingdom; all refused. Finally, Behanzin's Army Chief of Staff (and
distant relative) Prince Agoli-agbo was appointed to the throne, as a
'traditional chief' rather than head of state of a sovereign nation, by the
French when he agreed to sign the instrument of surrender. He 'reigned' for only
six years, assisted by a French Viceroy. The French prepared for direct
administration, which they achieved on February 12, 1900. Agoli-agbo went into
exile in Gabon, and the River Save. He returned to live in Abomey as a private
citizen in 1918.
Agoli-agbo's symbols are a leg kicking a rock, a bow (a symbol of the return to
traditional weapons under the new rules established by the colonial
administrators), and a broom.
Hans Agbo
Hans Agbo (born 26 September 1967) is a retired Cameroonian football player who
played for Olympic Mwolye. He participated at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, as well
as the 1992 African Cup of Nations and the 1996 African Cup of Nations.
Agbo Sassa
Dossou Agadja was the third King of Dahomey. He succeeded Houessou Akaba, and
ruled from 1708 to 1740.
Akaba's only son, Agbo Sassa, was only ten years old when Akaba died, so as
Akaba's brother, Agadja took the throne to become the fifth king. He refused to
let Agbo Sassa reclaim the throne when he came of age and forced him into exile.
Agadja's reign was characterized by continual warfare. The Yorùbá soldiers of
the kingdom of Oyo defeated the army of Abomey; Agadja parlayed peace terms
including the payment of tribute. For the next hundred years, the Kingdom of
Abomey paid the King of Oyo an annual tribute in young men and women destined
for slavery or death in ceremonies, as well as cloth, guns, animals and pearls.
The kingdom of Abomey grew during Agadja's reign, however; it conquered Allada
in 1724, and in 1727 conquered the kingdom of Savi, including its major city,
Ouidah. Agadja's victory over Ouidah came in part as a result of his use of a
corps of women shock-troopers, called Dahomey Amazons by the Europeans after the
women warriors of Greek myth, in his army. The Amazons became a dynastic
tradition. When Abomey conquered Savi and Ouidah, it gained direct access to the
sea and took over the lucrative slave trade with the Europeans. As a result,
Agadja's symbol is a European caravel boat.
In 1733 Agadja was visited by a party headed by the Dutchman Jacob Elet who had
come to negotiate the release of three employees of the Dutch West India Company
that had been taken hostage in the attack on Jakin of 1732.
Agadja was succeeded by Tegbessou.
King Agbo II
Thera Mahinda himself introduced Theravada Buddhism and also chetiya worship to
Sri Lanka. At his request King Devanampiyatissa built Thuparamaya in which was
enshrined the collarbone of the Buddha and is considered as the first dagaba
built in Sri Lanka, after the introduction of Buddhism.
This chetiya was built in the shape of a heap of paddy. This dagaba was
destroyed from time to time. During the reign of King Agbo II it was completely
destroyed and the King restored it. What we have today is the construction of
the dagaba, done in 1862 AD. As it is today, after several renovations, in the
course of the centuries, the monument has a diameter of 59 ft (18 m), at the
base. The dome is 11 feet 4 inches (3.45 m) in height from the ground, 164? ft
(50.1 m) in diameter. The compound is paved with granite and there are 2 rows of
stone pillars round the dagaba. During the early period vatadage was built round
the
AGBO Accessory Gearbox Online
A video game accessory is a separate piece of hardware that is required to
use a video game console, or one that enriches the video game's play experience.
Essentially, video game accessories are everything except the console itself,
such as controllers, memory, power adapters (AC), and audio/visual cables. Most
video game consoles come with the accessories required to play games out of the
box (minus software): one A/V cable, one AC cable, and a controller. Memory is
usually the most required accessory outside of these, as game data cannot be
saved to compact disks . The companies that manufacture video game consoles also
make these accessories for replacement purposes (AC cords and A/V cables) as
well as improving the overall experience (extra controllers for more players, or
unique devices like light guns and dance pads). There is an entire industry of
companies that create accessories for consoles as well, called third-party
companies. The prices are often lower than those made by the maker of the
console (first-party). This is usually achieved by avoiding licensing or using
cheaper materials. For the mobile systems like the Playstation Portable (PSP)
and Gameboy iterations (Color, Advance, DS) there are many accessories to make
them more usable in mobile environments like mobile chargers, lighting to
improve visibility, and cases to both protect and help organize the collection
of system peripherals to. Newer accessories include many homemade things like
mod chips to bypass manufacturing protection or homemade software (homebrew).
Game Controllers
The most common accessory for the video game consoles are the controllers used
to play the games. The controllers have evolved since the day of Pong and the
spinner. Now there are direction controls as well as many types of other inputs.
One type of directional control is the directional pad or D-Pad. The D-Pad is
designed to look like an addition sign with each branch being one of the four
cardinal directions; left, right, up, and down. It has been around since the
original Nintendo Entertainment System and has been in every iteration of the
Nintendo systems since. It is also present in all of Sony’s Playstation consoles
including as their portable system. Another feature in the recent console
controllers are the analog sticks, used for 360? directional control. Often used
for camera angle control, the idea is to give you full control by allowing any
direction to be used. The analog controls made their first appearance in the
1970’s consoles under the name joystick; they made a reappearance in console
systems in the Nintendo 64. Analog sticks have been used in every modern console
since. There is no analog stick on the Nintendo Wii remote, but it is present on
the nunchuk attachment bundled with the console. The most recent development in
directional controls is free motion control. Using accelerometers in the remote
and nunchuk attachment acceleration in any direction can be detected and
measured. This is still a new type of control scheme and is fully taken
advantage of in the Nintendo Wii as well as the Playstation 3’s SIXAXIS
controller that has tilt detection.
While directional controls are one important part of controllers there are also
general inputs. Usually in the form of buttons either on the front or on the
tope edges (shoulders) of the controller. These buttons are simply designed
usually labeled either by some color, shape, or letter identification. The
buttons can be used for simplistic one action ideas like jumping or performing
some kind of generic melee attack, but they can also be used to string together
combinations of maneuvers like a martial artist’s attacks. In systems beginning
with the Super Nintendo system, buttons on the shoulders of the controller have
become normal. . These can be used just like regular buttons, but tend to be
more difficult to utilize. In the case of the XBOX series of systems the
shoulder buttons are shaped and used more like a gun trigger.
Memory units
Originally console games had no additional storage memory for saving game
related data. During the Nintendo Entertainment System's time on the market,
battery backed cartridge games that could retain a limited number of game files
were introduced. When the original Sony Playstation was released it included
support for an external memory source, called a memory card. Its purpose was to
store important information about the games, such as game states or scoring
info. That memory card used a memory of type EEPROM. To support the growing use
of these cards in normal game play and the different amounts of data to be
saved, larger memory cards were created. Other consoles also adopted the use of
memory cards, such as the Sega Dreamcast, whose memory card was called the
Visual Memory Unit or VMU. The Dreamcast’s memory unit was unique in that it had
a monochrome LCD display, a D-pad, and two buttons. A large third party memory
card market also sprung up, offering cards that were often much cheaper and
larger than the official released memory cards. Some unique third party cards
required extra software to access the cards, or possibly increase the data
capacity by compressing the contained data.
The XBOX system was sold with a new type of data storage for consoles: an
internal hard drive to store information. The hard drive was 8 GB and was used
as more than just a memory device. It was used in conjunction with the games to
buffer some of the game data so that loading times were decreased. The hard
drive also stored downloadable content from the XBOX Live service. Since the
XBOX precedent, the Sony Playstation 2 had a hard drive accessory used with the
Final Fantasy XI game to store character data. In the new generation of game
consoles the Playstation 3 is included with one of two different sized hard
drives, depending on which model of the console is purchased, the 20 GB, 60 GB,
and 80 GB models. The Xbox 360 launched with a 20 gig hard drive. After users
started to complain of lack of space due to HD content, Microsoft released a 120
GB drive bundled with their Elite model, and available for individual sale.
Audio/Video cables
Console systems are played on a television. As such the systems need a way for
the information they process to show up on the screen, and for the audio to be
played through a sound system. Originally this was done through a coaxial cable
setup called a RF connector. It transmitted both the audio and video through one
cable. Modern day systems are quite different though. All of the newer systems
use industry standards now. One of those standards is RCA composite cables of
single video and left and right audio. The video connector is usually colored
yellow while the left and right audios are colored white and red respectively.
Now that the newer systems are focusing on HD content and displaying in HD newer
types of cable connections are needed. The basic are component cables with the
RGB format. RGB stands for the three colors, red, green, and blue. This is the
simplest form of HD cables. It uses three cables for video and the two for audio
still. The newest form of HD transmittance cables are the High-Definition
Multimedia Interface or HDMI cables. The HDMI cables transmit both the video and
audio signals over a single cable. More importantly the information transmitted
is a digital signal. Other cables utilize analog signals so that modern systems
must convert to analog and then back to digital for use. Information is often
lost in these conversions so that HDMI keeps the signal as digital so that less
information is lost, keeping the signal truer to its source. These cables and
signals are too new to be fully utilized, and are really only necessary for 1080
p signal.
Cases
Due to the modern video gaming market, an abundance of cases are available for
both home and hand held game systems. Because portables often come in contact
with the elements and are more prone to accidents, most owners use a case to
protect their systems.
Many such cases include soft padding to cradle the system while an outside shell
provides protection from falls or environmental debris. Some trade off padding
to make a thinner, more compact case. While the larger such cases usually
provide better protection and more room for games and accessories, they can be
rather bulky and difficult to carry in pockets or small bags.
To a lesser degree, cases for home consoles also exist. Home console cases are
usually designed as a backpack or briefcase and have enough room for the system,
cables, controllers, and often, a few games. This allows gamers to easily
transport traditionally stationary systems, making them more mobile and
sharable.
Home console video games come packaged inside of a DVD-style case. Portables use
a smaller format, but both are usually larger than the actual game media.
Therefore, one may find cases made to hold only the game media, thus saving
space and protecting the disks or cartridges from the open environment or
improper storage. They can hold one or several games. Larger cases and folders
can hold a gamer's entire collection.
Software accessories
Most software accessories for a video game system are simply the games designed
by professional game companies. With some of the recent systems, homemade games
called homebrew are being designed and released publicly. The XBOX 360 system
has official released tools called the XNA so that users can design and
proliferate their own content. It was announce by Microsoft after their
announcement of the XBOX Live Marketplace. Another type of homebrew is popular
on the Nintendo DS portable gaming system. Through an outside hardware device,
the internal software that is used to run games, the BIOS, is overwritten.
Replacing the default BIOS with an unofficial BIOS allows for user generated
content to be playable. These games are anything from simple ports of older
games to truly new ideas and games. Sony also allowed for homebrew content on
their new Playstation 3 by allowing for Linux to be installed. Linux allows for
many different types of content to be playable. Because of Linux’s open source
methods of utilizing the hardware as long as users write the necessary software,
anything can be playable on the PS3.
There is more than just software that allows different software to be playable.
Hardware called modchips allow for many different changes to the system. Because
the chips require that you open the case to the system and attach them to the
circuits, the chips void any warranty and are even considered illegal by some
companies. Most modchips are designed to allow illegal copies of games to be
played. They can also allow for access to hardware not normally contained in the
system. Overall modchips can add interesting effects but can cause many
complications from the possibility of breaking the system, from improper
installation, and causing legal problems.
Add-ons
Also known as a peripheral, a console add-on is a device generally sold
separately from the console, but which connects to the main unit to add
significant new functionality. A hardware add-on differs from an accessory in
that an accessory may add less significant functionality (like a link cable), or
in some cases may only add aesthetic value (like a console skin).

Third-party accessories
Game accessories can be one of two types, first or third party. First party
accessories are often very expensive for what they are. Because of this many
companies specialize in the production of similar products that perform the same
functions. Most of these items are similar but cheaper. They come at lower costs
from many reasons. Because these companies can avoid licensing fees, and did not
have the same development costs, they can save money that way. They also may use
lower quality materials in the production of the accessories, making them
cheaper but usually more fragile and less trustworthy. Another common trait with
third party accessories is a better value. While most first party accessories
only have one version, only one kind of controller for example, many third party
companies will expand upon the original product. Sony was not the first to
release a memory card of twice the original’s capacity. Instead many of the
third party companies were able to release such a product first and get many
sales from them.
Trends
One of the major trends is making everything wireless. Most systems have cables
plugged in the front and back. While there are not many cables plugged into the
system, if the system is close to the television system and audio system, than
the cables might be quite extensive and very haphazardly arranged. By making
most of the accessories wireless the goal is to cut down on the clutter. One of
the problems with wireless accessories is power. There is currently no wireless
power source for the accessory. So in most cases batteries of some fashion are
required. A problem with this can be the power requirements of the regular
function of the accessory as well as the components used to maintain the
wireless connection. Often the power draw on these batteries can be too much for
it to be cost effective to power these devices without rechargeable batteries.
Another trend developing is that of a controller unique to a specific game. An
example of such being the recent guitar controller for Red Octane’s Guitar Hero
game. These controllers are unusual because they con only be used for one game.
The default game controllers are usable for many types of games, so a controller
that is only usable for one seems to be counter intuitive. However, with games
as popular as Guitar Hero sometimes the controller can even inspire third party
replicas.
One problem with consoles and wireless controllers is that one still has to
stand up to control the console. To remedy that some of the recent console allow
system control from the controller. The Wii remote can power on and off the
console, as well as having a button that can send the user back to the opening
menu screen. The XBOX 360 has a similar type of control.
