(after further discovery this song seems to sample a bit of "Pandora's Box" by Chris Hajian and Rich Samalin. still not sure where the break loop comes from)
Track used by Sky whenever channels offered by Multichannels were off the air at given times. (*citation needed) This track was used up until the service's discontinuation in September 2001.
The only rips of this I could find online were in mono, so I added a bit of delay to them to make them into stereo tracks, which I believe is how they originally sounded.

![AniCom 3D Choreographer Sampler (1994) (read the description)
[UPDATE #1: THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN FOUND! Provided a link in both the description and pinned comment!!]
[[UPDATE #2: ANOTHER COPY OF THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN FOUND!]]
Sampler for 3D Choreographer, 3D animation software created by Animated Communications in the 90s. This software was described as an animation program designed for non-artists by its developers. Included here is a demonstration of what the program could do and all. Featuring three sample animations and some slides simply showing how to operate the software. The software is considered lost media at this point, as all that I could find is this demo (and part of its installer??) from a Razor 1911 warez CD.
If these characters look very familiar to you, these characters were notoriously featured in such Wolf Tracer Studios productions such as Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa and Wolf Tracers Dinosaur Island. Despite the character shown in the video just being generic humanoids or similar, some of the ones featured in Rapsittie Street Kids were modeled specifically for the film, as according to a Polygon article and the films credits.
I could not find a copy of this program ever since I found out about the program. I found a ISO dump of a Razor 1911 demo disc on the Internet Archive with this contained on it, along with an installer of sorts (though unusable). A friend of mine (BHVXT98/itsbeeache) was able to extract what seemed to be 9 (in total) ZIP files from the disc labelled 3DCHORE#.ZIP (1-9) and combine them into one specific file. From there, I was able to properly run the demo from a Windows 95 virtual machine.
Theres a file in there with a bit of mystery: ANIINST.EXE, which seems to be the installer for it after looking through a hex editor. Unfortunately, after messing around with it in a hex editor (and using the combined version) I was unable to install it, and at this stage probably never will. Any time the application is launched, the message Error Opening File pops up and halts setup. If I had to take an educated guess, the compressed install files are missing. If not, then all the installer does is just install the demo.
With all of that said, Im currently still on the hunt for this program! Let me know if you find it by any chance (or get the provided installer to function somehow) (as of 2022, i am currently not looking for a copy anymore, especially considering it has already been found. having said that, any new details are acceptable.)

![The National Periodic Test of 2023 - October 4, 2023 (TV/Video Captures)
Various recordings of the National Periodic Test as it happened on October 4, 2023. Unlike the previous two tests and like the 2018 test, we get a completely different voice message and the alert got issued over FEMAs IPAWS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) feed.
Additional special thanks to IowanEASFan (@theshitpostsofmsxdotgay976 ) for recording KSXE-LD. I was initially going to, but ran out of time and my recording failing before it could even reach 1:20 PM.
RECORDINGS:
0:00 - KTIV-DT (Gray-owned NBC affiliate)
Crawl only. Featuring a new crawl as part of the recent Gray rebrand package. The recording prior to the test was recorded during News 4 at Noon.
1:17 - KSXE-LD (SagamoreHill-owned Grit affiliate) [*recorded by IowanEASFan]
A Frixs Media Archive 1st! This is the first time I have uploaded any bulletins from that particular channel. Like KTIVs relay this too was crawl only. Although unlike KTIV it just shows the IPAWS CAP message and probably the slowest crawl Ive ever seen.
Rather than bore you for a few minutes of muted copyrighted content and a ticker thats nearly as slow as molasses, I have trimmed it to its third revolution (the recording had 4 in total) and fast-forwarded through some of it.
2:26 - KPTH-DT3 (Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate; formerly belonged to KMEG-DT)
About the only thing worth noting is that the crawl container stayed on-screen for about 13 seconds.
3:50 - KPTH-DT1 (Sinclair-owned Fox affiliate)
Ditto, although unlike the CBS affiliate it stays on-screen for a few more seconds.
5:09 - KSIN-DT (Iowa PBS, formerly Iowa Public Television) [blurred to avoid a worldwide block]
I havent seen Iowa PBS relay from CAP in quite some time.
6:29 - KXNE-DT (Nebraska Public Medias PBS afiiliate) [blurred to avoid a worldwide block]
This is the only TV EAS from the batch that did not relay from IPAWS. (probably KXNE-FM.)
7:28 - Trilithic EASyPLUS (decommissioned unit relaying from KGLI-FM, an iHeart-affiliated Adult contemporary station)
Recorded to DVD using a Panasonic DMR-ES15 DVD Recorder. I wouldve been on campus as this happened but I managed to schedule a recording earlier in the morning.
Although I tried to record KCAU-DT and one of the channels DIRECTV offers, the former chose not to relay the test and DIRECTV Stream does not relay national level Emergency Alert System messages.

![Iowa State Emergency Alert System Test - March 6, 2019 (raw recording)
[Audio was slightly altered from its original version. Thatd teach me for using a Dazzle DVC100 for capturing this.]
I had originally uploaded this around March 9, 2019, however cut the footage down to fit under 1 minute and 49 seconds. This is the full 5 minute recording from March 6, 2019. The shortened version can still be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ijUaTclXAQ
Recorded on March 6, 2019 directly from a decommissioned Trilithic EASyPLUS. The station audio throughout the video is KSEZ-FM in Sioux City, Iowa.
Chapter list:
0:00 - partial intermission from station (i legitimately dont know what this part would be called. please help.)
0:24 - WWE Live at Tyson Events Center promo
1:08 - Liberty Mutual Customization ad
1:38 - Loews ad
2:07 - Fareway ad
2:23 - Hardees ad
2:52 - Target Pick-up ad
3:06 - Aventure Staffing New Years ad
3:35 - ((unknown ad, potentially a local surgery center?))
3:43 - SAME triple header (from station; a couple of seconds in you can see the screen flicker from the Trilithic accepting the headers as valid.)
3:49 - First 853 and 960 Hz EBS tone (from station)
3:58 - Second 853 and 960 Hz EBS tone (from receiving station, wouldve been cut off if KMNSs ATTN Threshold was set properly, or the other stations audio was more clear.)
4:08 - Iowa Emergency Alert System test message (from WHO-AM in Des Moines, IA.)
4:21 - SAME end-of-message tones (from KSEZ-FMs encoder)
4:26 - Normal station programming resumes, partial ID (cut off by EASyPLUS relay)
