Provincialism in Romania is defined as the discrimination between its people based on the region they inhabit. The discrimination can take many different forms and can target culture, history, and language.
On history
Queen Marie of Romania called Wallachia for being "central to Romania's history" and as such, justified the Wallachian eagle being the most prominent element in the country's coat-of-arms. Wallachian propaganda suggested that Wallachia was one of the the core province of Dacia, whereas Moldavia was less Dacian in its legacy; their propaganda went so far as suggesting that Moldavians are less Romanian than the Wallachians.
Anti-Moldavian discrimination
Discrimination against Moldavians is for the most part, practiced in southern Romania, in the historical region of Wallachia. There have been reports of Wallachians refusing to serve meatballs to Moldavians due to, what the Wallachians argue, is an inproper regionalistic word: the Moldavians use the word "purjoala" whereas the Wallachians use the word "chiftea." In a poll conducted in Bucharest, the students gave the Moldavians a poor rating, arguing that they are drunkards, lazy, and dumb.
Anti-discrimination stand
Consiliul NaÅ£ional al Reîntregirii (The National Counsel of Refittement) is a non-profit organization based in Bucharest and ChiÅŸinău with the prime objective to combat regional discrimination between Romanians.

X Flag Football
X Flag Football is a player created and run Flag Football league in Southern California. The creators are at every game to ensure the players are as happy as possible and the games are as fair as possible. Each game is monitored by two professionally trained and dressed referees and statistics are recorded by seasoned stat keepers.
X Flag Football Rules
In X Flag Football the games consist of two 20 minute halves. Games are played on fields that are 60 yards by 30 yards with two 10 yard deep endzones. Field markers are set at mid-field (30 yard line), the ten yard lines, and each endzone. Teams consist of up to 12 players on the roster, with a minumum of 4 and maximum of 5 players on the field. Touchdowns are worth 6 points and extra points can be 1 (from 5 yards) or 2 (from 10 yards) points. Safties are worth 2 points.
About the Founders
Five experienced flag football players who became tired of the existing leagues joined together in the summer of 2007 to create a league "by the Players, for the Players," (). As current players the creators are aware of the wants and needs of flag football teams and strive to make X Flag Football the most enjoyable experience flag football can be.
XFF Mission Statement
"X Flag Football is committed to providing a year round, organized flag football league for its players. XFF will provide a suitable environment for the players, their friends, and family who attend the games. XFF respects its players and their viewpoints. We will not censor, condemn, or discourage anyone from expressing their ideas and comments as long as they are presented in good taste."

XsCapacity is a term being coined for the utilization of excess semi trailer space. This new term references the use of under utilized or excess capacity in semi-trailer space for the movement of cargo and freight around the country. The meaning of this title is two fold and is utilized in the marketing of this type of services by various entities including freight brokers, freight forwarders and other.
1. Creates a significant reduction in pollution by reducing the amount of trailers on the road at any given time.
2. Reduces the cost of manufacturing overhead by reducing the cost associated with the shipment of finished goods around the country.
XsCapacity is a shortened version of Excess Capacity and definition is defined the same as excess capacity published by Glossary of Industrial Organization Economics and Competition Law, compiled by R. S. Khemani and D. M. Shapiro, commissioned by the Directorate for Financial, Fiscal and Enterprise Affairs, OECD, 1993.
Definition of Excess Capacity, the fully lengthened version of XsCapacity:
Excess capacity refers to a situation where a firm is producing at a lower scale of output than it has been designed for, in this context the production of goods is the empty trailer space that is utilized by shippers in the reduction of cost and pollution.

AutoNOC is a highly scalable production network management platform that utilizes novel distributed grid technologies. The software is developed and maintained by , a company founded in 1997 and based in Atlanta, Georgia. AutoNOC's founder and the primary software architect is Kyle Lussier. AutoNOC is currently used by various organizations including community colleges, university-wide WANs, eCommerce companies, and financial institutions. It is estimated that the AutoNOC software is used to manage and monitor 3 to 4% of global Internet traffic.
Automated Network Operations Using Grid/Distributed Computing
AutoNOC supports a computational model that allows many servers (called grid nodes) to be deployed. These grid nodes work together to form a large internetworked computer that shares operations tasks across all servers. Data access, acquisition, processing, and aggregation is distributed and shared across all grid nodes.
When a user connects to an AutoNOC node, this node presents to the user an interface that represents all computational resources and servers currently at use. Information across the many servers is integrated and the user may utilize the assets across the grid to perform data analysis and design custom user views of network information and things happening on networks.
Supported Platforms
AutoNOC currently supports the following operating systems:
* Linux/Red Hat
* Windows 2000/2003/XP
Processing Architectures (32/64 Bit)
AutoNOC has been released and is supported for the following CPU architectures:
* [http://en. .org/wiki/X86 Intel x86 (32-Bit)]
* [http://en. .org/wiki/EM64T#Intel_64 Intel Emu64 (64-Bit Hybrid)]
*
*
Security and Open Port Information
AutoNOC currently makes use of the following IP ports:
* Port 80 (HTTP)
* Port 443 (SSL)
* Port 1140 (ANOC)
In the case of port 80, this is a user configurable port and may be modified by the user. Port 443 (SSL) is a standard HTTPS implementation providing secure HTTP services for secure authentication.
Port 1140 is an that is registered for the reserved use of AutoNOC. The port provides grid node to grid node interactions, as well as a serviceable operations interpreter for which users may connect to, extract data, and interact with the network operations model in a globally integrated manner.
Supported Protocols
AutoNOC supports connection, monitoring and management via the following protocols:
*
*
*
*
*
* Variety of Other Derivative of Sockets
Technical Achievements
The following are the primary technical / architectural achievements of the AutoNOC software.
* 2005 - 1st NMS to Handle 1,000,000 Probes at 60 Second Intervals on a Single 64-Bit Server
* 2007/2008 - 1st NMS to to Integrate 10,000,000 Probes Across a Multinational Network on One Live Platform
* 2007/2008 - 1st NMS to Handle Up To 100 Terabytes of Network Mapped Live Historical Data on One Model
Direct verification of these achievements is available by either downloading and setting up the software to test these circumstances, or to qualified individuals who may request a site appointment of a live installation.
Releases
There are two existing, generally available releases of the AutoNOC software:
* AutoNOC 2.5 (Velocity)
* AutoNOC 3.0 (Nadia)
Velocity is the most widely deployed release of AutoNOC. Nadia is the fully distributed grid operations platform.
