Systems and methods are described herein for detecting the inadvertent modification to or deletion of data in a data store and taking automated action to prevent the deletion of data from becoming permanent. The described techniques may also be utilized to detect anomalous changes to a policy or affecting storage of data and taking automated action to mitigate the effects of those changes. In one example, events generated as a result of requests to perform operations on data objects in a data storage service may be obtained, where at least some of the events indicate a failure to fulfill respective requests. Data from the events may be input into a model to detect an anomaly indicative of inadvertent modification of data. As a result of detection of the anomaly, a set of operations may be initiated or performed to prevent the inadvertent modification of data from becoming permanent.

Detecting durability issues with anomaly detection

Techniques are described for switching streaming of media content between content delivery networks (CDNs) during mid-stream. An initial CDN can be used to stream the media content. The performance of a second CDN can be measured by requesting a fragment of the media content as a measurement or test fragment. Streaming of the media content can be switched to the second CDN if its performance is determined to be better than the initial CDN.

Mid-stream content delivery network switching

Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive caching of content to facilitate use of the content. If account is likely to commence use of a content item, the content item is cached before the use is commenced. The cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.

Segmented predictive caching for content

Disclosed are various embodiments for client-side predictive caching of content to facilitate use of the content. If account is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the use is commenced. In doing so, the client may obtain an initial portion of the content item from another computing device. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate use of the content item by the client. The client-side cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.

Client-side predictive caching for content

Disclosed are various embodiments for client-side predictive caching of content to facilitate instantaneous use of the content. If a user is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the user commences use. In doing so, the client may obtain metadata for the content item and an initial portion of the content item from another computing device. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate instantaneous use of the content item by the client based at least in part on the metadata and the initial portion. The client-side cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.

An amusement device which uses a case containing balls that are shot from one side of the case to the other, and pegs are positioned at the bottom of the case to facilitate scoring. A second container is positioned at the top of the case so the game can be turned upside down in order to continue the game or to start a new game.

Amusement game

A board game such as checkers or chess in which one option would place mirrors so a player can only see his playing pieces in a mirror, while viewing his opponent's playing pieces directly. Another option would place mirrors so the player can only see his playing pieces directly while viewing his opponent's playing pieces in a mirror.

An apparatus for playing the limbo game that has either battery operated speakers in the bar, which can play music, or the bar may have a speaker outlet through which an outside source of music can be played.

Limbo game

A portable hop scotch game board has a single game board of hop scotch on one side and on the opposite side of the same board a double game of hop scotch is laid out. There are also pockets, used for the scotch throwing piece, attached to the corners and pockets are provided over each numbered block.
