Book Club
Room for the awesome
I loved the article by Metzger on the Socratic Seminar format that she used in her classroom. I loved it because, aside from teaching algebra, my favorite thing to do as a sub was read with kids and talk about what we had read. And one of my favorite things to do as an adult is consume, analyze, and talk about stuff. Case in point, the number of text messages flying back and forth between my cousin and me after he lent me his copy of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer this summer. My most memorable learning experiences as a student and a human have been in a Socratic setting.
What I do not love are the book club discussion questions that seem to be occurring more and more frequently in the backs of books. What unimaginative, uninteresting questions! If you're going to have a book club, at least go the extra step of requiring people to articulate a thought or question for discussion based on their own reading and not someone else's. This is what Metzger finds, too, when she notices how she derails conversation when she attempts to direct the discussion. This is also what I found as a sub. Frequently, teachers have some kind of prepared list of questions that they ask at the end of a reading, and these questions were invariably the least interesting part of talking with the kids about their experiences with the text.
I've been away at a conference for the last few days, and here's a short list of things I noticed:
 - When you aren't prepared for a presentation, people notice. They especially notice when you make a point of telling them how last minute your preparation for the presentation is.
 - There are few things more boring than listening to someone read a presentation word-for-word off a sheet of paper. Or, as is more frequently the case, multiple sheets of paper.
 - The best, most effective presentations are well thought out but leave lots of room for interaction.
So, here's what I'm saying, and this relates to the Metzger article as well as my work experience and conference experience: Plan, prepare, think, and then just let go. Don't be afraid. You need to leave room for the awesome to happen.
Gaming and self-promotion
So many great discussions in class this week. The conversation we had about gaming was just fascinating. For me, there are two key points that I will continue to mull over.
1. Motivation: Jane McGonigal is exactly right that whatever it is that motivates people to spend so much time gaming is worth exploring. What is it and how do we leverage it?
2. Experiential learning: This is where I think that gaming in an educational context can be really effective. If the game is about exposing students to a range of experiences in a "safe" environment, I believe that teachers can take that experience as the baseline for reflection and discussion. The learning happens on the reflection. The game can facilitate that.
Case and point: This American Life, episode 424, Act I: Trickle Down History
I also want to touch on something that came up in our Blogger Issues discussion: The use of blogs for self-promotion. I realize that I was the one who brought the topic up initially in our discussion, and I've thought a lot about it since because it was a kind of in-the-moment realization for me. Somehow, the thought of librarians using their blogs for self-promotion is a bit distasteful, or at least a little uncomfortable. And yet, a blog is inherently about a person's thoughts and opinions and therefore inherently self-promoting. And, libraries and librarians have a bit of a marketing problem. We aren't good at talking to the public about what we really do and why we do it. Is the discomfort because of personal marketing in general? Or is it because, for better or worse, those librarians that are best at self-promotion are the voice of libraries to the public and what they are saying is uncomfortable?
Right place, right time
Restored from the trash bin, posted for the correct week this time.
I pulled this from the Wiggins and McTighe article:
"We recommend that schools develop a public syllabus for every course, which articulates the course's transfer-meaning-acquisiton priorities and concomitant assessments. Such an approach offers a practical means of freeing high school instruction from the dominance of the textbooks and its emphasis on acquisition. The textbook should serve as a resource, not as the syllabus."
I am intrigued by the idea of a public syllabus. Where is this syllabus posted? Who has access to it? I can see how using and organizational structure like the one proposed in the article could really help teachers to understand why they are teaching a particular lesson and what their goals are at each step. I am sure that articulating the transferability of a course could also help a teacher to address transfer. I wonder how putting this knowledge in a public forum might effect the public's approach to education.
How People Learn says that "knowledge that is overly contextualized can reduce transfer; abstract representations of knowledge can help promote transfer" (53). I find this concept to be a knife edge. We want to provide good context, so that a student can effectively complete a task, but we don't want to confine learning to the context or they won't transfer. This is particularly hairy when you also consider that "it is important to be realistic about the amount of time it takes to learn complex subject matter." (56) Very possibly, the transfer won't take place until much, much later. Then what?
A Short (possibly misguided) Rant
I was a little bummed that we didn't talk about Jane McGonigal's TED talk in class this week. She said a lot of things that made me sit back, cross my arms, and raise an eyebrow. While I find most of her premise very compelling, she didn't talk about the most compelling part – the part where where the gamers actually take what they've learned in the game and apply it to the real world.
I wholeheartedly agree that gaming is an essential part of the human experience and that it is as important for survival as food and water. Of course, I believe that about all things that allow us to express our humanity. There's a whole field devoted to musical anthropology, which essentially proves that music and dance were practiced at a time when the basic human needs were not being reliably met. This means that, unlike many people who believe that music and dance (and other expressive arts) are hedonistic pleasures that only developed when people got enough free time to spend it doing things other than fulfilling basic needs, music is an essential part of the human experience. This is proven with bows that can be deconstructed after a long day of hunting to form percussion instruments and extremely primitive flutes that have no business being found in some of the harshest and least hospitable parts of the ancient world.
Anyway, that's a digression from my original point which is, basically, show me. Show me a gamer who truly takes what he or she has learned in a game about perseverance and epic wins and applies it to the real world.
She seems to be saying that if we could only structure the real world so that people are always given a challenge they can accomplish with their current skills, the world would be much better. I agree. The world would be much better if I always knew that I was going to accomplish what I set out to do, but that is just not realistic. Nor, frankly, do I want someone telling me what I can or can't accomplish.
And anyway, my biggest issue isn't even with what Jane McGonigal said, but with the consistent misinterpretation of the 10,000 hour rule. In fact, when she pulled out that hypothesis, one short, pithy word may have almost popped out of my mouth. I have a few issues with Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, but I find his premise to be fairly solid. Here's what popular citation of the 10,000 hour rule generally ignores: 10,000 hours only makes you as good as you can be, which may or may not be as good as the next person. 10,000 hours does not mean that you will be successful. Success requires a whole host of other things including opportunity and access. And 10,000 hours does not have to be achieved before you can start to make a difference.
Assessing the Gap
Sooooooooo…. it turns out I'm not terribly information literate. I have trouble, for instance, reading charts and calendars. This lack of information literacy has led to a rather terrible error on my part. I did next week's readings and posted about them yesterday. Luckily (or unluckily for my schedule) I have caught my mistake, and below you will find a response to this week's readings. If you read my previous blog post and wondered what the heck was going on, sorry about that. I have taken down the post and will re-post it next week, at the appropriate time.
I've talked a bit about formative assessment here before. I really liked the Sadler article this week. I felt that the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of formative assessment was solid, and I liked that the author attempted analogies that would spread across many different subject areas. Having said that, I feel the article skewed towards the creative arts. I would have liked to see more analogies that would apply to math or science. Still, this article really spoke to my experience

HMS Agamemnon was a 64-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy. She saw service in the American Revolutionary, French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and fought in many of the major naval battles of those conflicts. She is remembered as being Nelson's favourite ship, and was named after the mythical ancient Greek king Agamemnon, being the first ship of the Royal Navy to bear the name. The future Lord Nelson served as Agamemnon's captain from January 1793 for 3 years and 3 months, during which time she saw considerable service in the Mediterranean. After Nelson's departure, she was involved in the infamous 1797 mutinies at Spithead and the Nore, and in 1801 was present at the first Battle of Copenhagen, but ran aground before being able to enter the action.
The Agamemnon kit contains CNC cut walnut and ply components. The extensive fittings include four sheets of brass etched detailing, brass turned cannons, a set of four plank on frame ships boats, black and natural hemp for rigging and cast decorative fittings. The kit is supplied with full size plans, comprehensive instruction manual and drawings. The kit has been designed to depict the period when Nelson served on her.

and have an equilibrium mixture of glucose, fructose and sucrose.
What these people are saying is that they can tell the difference
between sucrose and a mixture of the three. Have you ever tasted
corn sugar (glucose) and fructose? They taste exactly the same
as sucrose; for a given amount fructose is the sweeter of the three,
but no actual difference in taste.

Researching forced migration: critical reflections on research ethics during fieldwork
How do we carry out research with refugees? This paper provides reflections on some of the key ethical questions surrounding fieldwork on forced migration. The aim is to bring together multi-disciplinary debates on research ethics; in lieu of stating presumably neutral, objective and universally applicable answers, the paper critically discusses guiding principles and practical issues, and proposes ways forward in order to spark further discussions. For that, a paired view on research ethics is used, as a code of conduct for scholars as well as a framework for normative scrutiny of research in a broader sense. Subjects in this paper include harm in and due to fieldwork with a proposed Do No Harm analysis to minimise risks; relations and responsibilities of researchers to participants and among research teams with reflections on participatory approaches; transfer of results with scholars and humanitarian agencies but also with participants; and benefits of interdisciplinary platforms for exchange to openly address difficulties and opportunities in 'the field'.

Surface Tester Accessories
Rough surfaces can be more susceptible to cracks or corrosions. A surface roughness tester or profilometer can be used to determine a material's surface texture or roughness. They can get very detailed in tracking flatness, step, curvature and more. A roughness tester is ideal for surveyors or geologists as they work closely with changes caused by the elements. Another testing purpose tool to consider in addition to a surface roughness meter is a plug gauge for machining operations. Electronic measuring tools and gauge blocks and clamps are ideal for precise measurements. Dial indicators are used for automotive and mechanical testing.

Vitesse Cryo 7N CGOCC-A Copper Earphone Cable utilizes the specially made 7N purity CGOCC-A wires with gauge of 23AWG and an amazing 144 strands of fine copper conductor. It is 8 wire braided to minimize cross interference and insulated with ultra flexible silicone sleeve.
VitesseSeries Earphone Cable utilizes a special type of metal conductors, which are Crystallized Grown by Ohno Continuous Casting processed and then Critical Temperature Annealed. The wiring underwent cryogenic treatment to further reduce residual stress, resistance and enhance music signal transmission.
The special processed metal conductor has a single crystal structure. The process re-heats the extrusion in the crystal structure as the molten metal is forced out of the mould and very slowly and gradually draws the grain or crystal down the conductor's length, creating a 'single crystal structure'. The improvement is significant, with almost no crystal boundaries, the audio signal is no longer impeded down the wire and resulting in much less signal distortion and decay. More information and detail is delivered as much as original to the receiving equipment.
The percentage reduction of area on our cable is increased by 414% and elongation characteristic is improved by 239%. Resistivity on our cable is 31.7% less than regular process wire, gas impurity is reduced to 5ppm(O2) and 0.25ppm(H2), which significantly reduces signal attenuation and helps a faithful transmission of signal.
Comparison of cross-section of our CGOCC-A pure copper wire and normal OFC wire
Built-to-order. Current lead-time is 2~3 weeks (as of 12th Jul 2018)
Note: Due to cable thickness, this cable will not come with a memory wire by default. Memory wire could be added upon customer's request via email.

text: Ground simulation of spacecraft motion simulating all six degrees of freedom is a challenging problem due to several features of the natural dynamics in space that are difficult to reproduce on ground. Unlike terrestrial (aerial, land or underwater) vehicles, space vehicles have an overwhelmingly large percentage of their total energy in their translational motion. Dynamical coupling between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom can significantly affect the attitude motion of spacecraft. The attitude motion is particularly important for a spacecraft tasked to autonomously rendezvous and capture or dock with a target object in space. Here we present a ground simulator design for 6 DOF simulation of spacecraft engaged in autonomous rendezvous and proximity operation(ARPO) with an unaided target space object. These operations are very risky and difficult to carry out in space, since the target's motion is not well known in advance. Ground simulation using 6 DOF motion simulation capabilities can help reduce the risk of actual on-orbit ARPO missions. The novel design "Autonomous Rendezvous and Proximity Operation ground Simulator (ARPOS)" presented here mimics all the six DOFs of rigid spacecraft with high fidelity. ARPOS has the advantage of linear and spherical air bearings to reproduce the near frictionless environment of an actual spacecraft in space.

Researchers have demonstrated that certain types of pain coping are correlated with less pain severity and disability and that there are differences between Caucasians and African-American pain patients in their use of specific coping strategies. However, the extent to which racial group differences exist in the associations between pain coping strategies and pain severity, interference, and disability is unclear. Furthermore, the role of education in these associations is uncertain. We recruited a diverse community sample of individuals with chronic pain and their spouses to examine this issue (N =105). Participants completed the Coping Strategies Questionnaire, Multidimensional Pain Inventory, and Sickness Impact Profile. Results showed that African-American participants reported significantly more pain severity, interference, and disability and reported using diverting attention and prayer and hoping pain-coping strategies significantly more often than Caucasian participants; however, only the racial group difference in prayer and hoping remained when controlling for education. We also examined whether race and education interacted with coping strategies in relating to pain and disability. Significant three-way interactions were found for physical and psychosocial disability, suggesting that educational level should be included in analyses exploring racial group differences. The results suggest the need for pain treatments that take into account the educational and cultural context of pain.

E-Navigation – a tool for safe navigation
E-Navigation is one of the tasks within the EfficienSea project. The E-Navigation scheme aims to create an integrated intelligent navigation system that provides navigators with the essential information that they need – and only that.
Better collection and exchange of information
The aim of E-Navigation is to create a tool that can collect, optimise and sort the information. Today there are many medium and large quantities of information on the bridge. E-Navigation will put all this into a system that shows only the relevant information for each ship, and automatically generates the administrative information that the ship has to send to the authorities or suchlike.
Increased safety, locally and globally
As a result, E-Navigation is a tool that improves navigation safety both in our own waters and around the world.

The Renzy Copper-Nickel Mine 197 Days to Production
CIM Bulletin, 1970
R. M. KLEINE, Mine Manager, New Hosco Mines Ltd. - Renzy Project, Lac de Renzy, Quebec
In the fall of 1968, Sheridan Geophysics leased the Renzy Mine property 50 miles northwest of the town of Maniwaki, Quebec. A 500-tpd flotation mill was dismantled at Belleterre, Quebec, trucked into the mine over a winter road and re-erected during extreme winter conditions. Approximately one billion gallons of water were removed from Renzy lake to expose the orebody. A 3,000-hp diesel generating plant and a self-supporting community were set up during the early part of 1969. This was a remarkable achievement considering that most of the work, including the pouring of foundations and the draining of the lake, had to be done during the winter months. Despite this, the project was completed ahead of schedule and one million dollars below budget. The mill is now treating an average of 800 tpd.

Residential Toponyms and Urban Change (_PHONE_) in a Seaside Resort Town, Benicassim, Spain
This paper examines the naming patterns of residential dwellings in a seaside resort town, Benicàssim (Valencia), on Spain's Mediterranean coast. The fieldwork encompassed a survey of over 500 dwelling units along the town's coastal margin which has been developed over the last 100 years. Names, specifically personal names and surnames, are most commonly used, with women's name's being most frequent. Almost invariably these are associated with single-family dwellings. Geographical referents, usually of invoking exotic destinations and references to the sun and sea represent other significant categories. These names are used as toponyms for apartment buildings and other multi-unit residences. Recent naming patterns, usually for apartments, include a number of made-up names using prefixes or suffixes referring to the local area.

The role of fetal adipose tissue thicknesses measured ultrasonographically in the prediction of gestational diabetes
A novel approach for gestational diabetes
Keywords:Fetal Soft Tissue Thickness, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, 50 gr Oral Glucose
This study aims to investigate whether second-trimester fetal adipose tissue components reflect glycemic control in diabetic pregnancies and their role as an auxiliary method in predicting gestational diabetes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study was designed prospectively, cross-sectionally in 300 pregnant women 24-28 weeks of gestation between April 2020 and July 2020. The adipose tissue thickness of the humerus, femur, scapula, and abdominal circumference was examined by transabdominal ultrasound. The age, body mass index, family history of diabetes, and diabetes history in previous pregnancies of the groups were questioned.
The anterior abdominal wall adipose tissue thickness of the fetuses we included in the study was 5 ± 0.8 mm, femur adipose tissue thickness was 4 ± 0.7 mm, humerus adipose tissue thickness was 3.7 ± 0.7 mm, scapula adipose tissue thickness was 4.1 ± 2,2 mm. The total adipose tissue thickness was 16.9 ± 2.9 mm.
A statistically significant correlation was found between femoral adipose tissue thickness (p = 0.001) and humeral adipose tissue thickness (p = 0.023) in gestational diabetes groups.
Patients with a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (n = 60) constituted the first group, patients without GDM (n =240) constituted the second group. In our independent analysis of two groups, femur and humerus adipose tissue thickness were found to be statistically significantly different between both groups (p= 0.002, p = 0.043, respectively). Other parameters did not differ significantly between groups.
Between three groups (healthy, impaired glucose tolerance, and gestational diabetes groups). Femoral adipose tissue thickness was statistically significant among the three groups (p = 0.005). As a result of binary logistic regression, if the femoral adipose tissue thickness was above 4.1 mm, the possibility of developing GDM was observed with 63.8% sensitivity and 65% specificity.
In the prediction of gestational diabetes, fetus femoral adipose tissue thickness may be significant

How do criminal groups organize, operate, and govern in Denmark? We argue that organized crime groups face governance challenges in the form of principal-agent problems and transaction costs. Based on interviews with law enforcement officers, former gang members, and prisoners, we provide evidence for how people involved in crime respond to these organizational dilemmas. We find that the more severe the principal-agent problem, the more gangs vet possible members during recruitment. We also find that as transaction costs rise, people who are engaged in illicit activities that are more complicated will rely more on internal structure and centralization. Our findings support existing rational choice theories of criminal organizations.

A teenage schoolgirl (Jenny Agutter) and her much younger brother (Luc Roeg) become stranded in the wilderness after their father (John Meillon) goes berserk. After driving them far into the Australian outback for a picnic, the father suddenly begins shooting at his children. When they run behind rocks for cover, he sets the car on fire and shoots himself in the head. The girl conceals what has happened from her brother and, after she has salvaged what food she can, the pair head out into the desert.
By the middle of the next day, they are weak and the boy can barely walk. Discovering a small water hole with a fruiting tree, they spend the day playing, bathing, and resting. By the next morning, the water has dried up. They are then discovered by an Aboriginal boy (David Gulpilil); although the girl cannot communicate with him, her brother mimes their need for water and the newcomer cheerfully shows them how to draw it from the drying bed of the oasis. The three travel together, with the Aboriginal boy sharing food he has caught hunting. They learn to communicate using words and sign language.
Despite their being lost, the Aboriginal boy does not assist the children in returning to civilisation. While in the vicinity of a plantation, a white woman walks past the boy, who subsequently ignores her when she speaks to him. She also spots the other children but they do not see her, and they continue on their journey. The children also discover a weather balloon belonging to a nearby research team working in the desert.
The trio then find a deserted farm and discover a paved road nearby, presumably leading to civilisation. The Aboriginal boy hunts down a water buffalo and is wrestling it to the ground when two white hunters appear in a truck and nearly run him over. He watches as they shoot several buffalo with a rifle. The boy then returns to the farm and catches the girl dressing. Later, he initiates a mating ritual by painting tribal markings on himself and performing a courtship dance in front of her. Although he dances outside all day and into the night until he becomes exhausted, she cannot understand the nature of his actions and ignores him. In the morning, the brother wakes his sister and tells her their companion is dead. After they wash and dress in their school uniforms, the brother takes her to the Aboriginal boy's body, hanging in a tree. Before leaving, the girl wipes ants from the dead boy's chest. Hiking up the road, the siblings find a nearly deserted mining town, where they are met by a surly white man who directs them towards a nearby hotel and, presumably, civilisation.
Years later, a businessman arrives home as the now grown-up girl prepares dinner; while he embraces her and relates office gossip, she daydreams, imagining a scene in which she, her brother, and the Aboriginal boy are playing and swimming naked in the deep pool in the outback.
Production details[edit]
The movie was the second feature directed by Nicolas Roeg. He had long planned to make a film of the novel Walkabout, in which the children are Americans stranded by a plane crash. After the indigenous boy finds and leads them to safety, he dies of influenza contracted from them, as he has not been immunised. Roeg had not been able to find a script he was happy with, until the English playwright Edward Bond did a minimal 14-page screenplay.
Roeg obtained backing from two American businessmen, Max Raab and Si Litvinoff, who incorporated a company in Australia but raised the budget entirely in the US and sold world rights to 20th Century Fox. Filming began in Sydney in August 1969 and later moved to Alice Springs.[2]
Roeg, a British filmmaker, brought an outsider's eye and interpretation to the Australian setting, and improvised greatly during filming. He has commented, "We didn't really plan anything—we just came across things by chance…filming whatever we found."[4] The director's son, Luc Roeg, played the younger boy in the film.
In the USA, the film was originally rated R by the MPAA due to nudity, but was reduced to a GP-rating (PG) on appeal.
Actor David Gulpilil is miscredited in the film as David Gumpilil.
John Barry composed and conducted the music, while Phil Ramone produced the music.
The poem read at the end of the film is Poem 40 from A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad.
Reception and interpretation[edit]
Walkabout fared poorly at the box office in Australia. Critics debated whether it could be considered an Australian film, and whether it was an embrace of or a reaction to the country's cultural and natural context.[4]
The film is an example of Roeg's well-defined directorial style, characterised by strong visual composition from his experience as a cinematographer, combined with extensive cross-cutting and the juxtaposition of events, location, or environments to build his themes.[5] This use of intellectual montage creates symbolism by juxtaposing two shots that are not literally connected.[original research?]For example, in one scene the Aboriginal boy is seen killing and dismembering a kangaroo, a passage interrupted by several brief clips of a butcher at work in his shop.[original research?]
The film is noted for its cinematography and is interspersed with numerous images of Australian plant and animal life, along with its varied landscapes. The director often uses those images to emphasise events in the plot and set the emotional tone, most notably during the violent scene involving the rifle hunters.[original research?]Though many of the events are improbable in a natural setting—in one scene a wombat wanders past the sleeping children in the middle of a desert—they create a backdrop of a populous, varied environment. In Walkabout, an analysis of the film, author Louis Nowra wrote:
"...I was stunned. The images of the Outback were of an almost hallucinogenic intensity. Instead of the desert and bush being infused with a dull monotony, everything seemed acute, shrill, and incandescent. The Outback was beautiful and haunting."[6]
Film critic Edward Guthmann also notes the strong use of exotic natural images, calling them a "chorus of lizards".[7]
Critic Roger Ebert called it "one of the great films."[8] He writes that it contains little moral or emotional judgment of its characters, and ultimately is a portrait of isolation in proximity:
"Is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers? That's what the film's surface suggests, but I think it's about something deeper and more elusive: the mystery of communication."[8]
Commenting on the film's enduring appeal, in 1998 Roeg described the film as:
"…a simple story about life and being alive, not covered with sophistry but addressing the most basic human themes; birth, death, mutability."[9]
At the online review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a score of 93% based on 27 critical submissions, with an average rating of 8.2 out of 10 (showing however, as of 31 January 2013, "no consensus", on the site's Tomatometer.)[10]
Walkabout features numerous scenes of animal hunting and killing, most notably a kangaroo being speared and bludgeoned to death. The Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937 makes it illegal to distribute and exhibit material of which the production involved inflicting pain or terror on an animal. Since the animals did not appear to suffer or be in distress the film was deemed to not contravene the Act. The film also includes numerous scenes of full-frontal nudity featuring Jenny Agutter, who was 17 years old at the time of filming. The scenes did not pose a problem when submitted to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) in 1971 and later in 1998, since the Protection of Children Act 1978 permitted the distribution and possession of indecent images of people over the age of 16; however, the Sexual Offences Act 2003 raised the age threshold to 18 which meant the actress' age was a factor when the film was re-submitted in 2011. The BBFC reviewed the scenes in regards to the law and deemed them to not be "indecent" and passed the film uncut. Had this not been the case, the film would have been refused classification and it would have effectively made it illegal to possess a copy of the film, including copies that had been purchased legally at the time.[11]

The Netflix error 1011 on the iPhone or other Apple devices is easy to fix. It is usually identified with the following message: There is a problem connecting to Netflix. Please try again later (1011).
What Does The Netflix 1011 Error Mean?
The 1011 error means that a glitch was encountered on one of the interfaces required to establish a connection to Netflix, that is, the Netflix app could not connect to the internet from your device. Now let us look at some of the things that may cause the error 1011 to happen:
- There is a problem with the internet connection on your iPhone.
- The Netflix account information on the iPhone is not correct.
- The Netflix app crashed temporarily.
- There is a problem with the Netflix cache on your device.
How To Fix Netflix Error 1011
There are several things you can do that would clear this error and stop it from showing up on the next try. These pointers or methods are listed below. These are not steps, these are options, you can try all of them though in the order they appear here with the last one being your last resort.
1. Fix The Internet Connection On Your Device
Check to make sure the internet connection on your iPhone or iPad is okay by visiting a webpage from your browser. If your connection is good, then that probably wasn't stopped Netflix. On to the next one.
2. Reset The Netflix Application
To reset the Netflix application, follow the steps below:
- Go to your iPhone home screen, then click on Settings.
- Scroll down until you find Netflix, then click on it.
- Switch the Reset button to On, then go back to your home screen.
- Open up the Netflix app again, then enter your login details to sign in. Now try streaming again to see if the error 1011 would reappear. It shouldn't.
3. Restart Your iPhone or iPad
It is a known fact that restarting a device clears some small surprisingly difficult to fix mobile problems, which is sometimes or even more commonly caused by an overloaded RAM. I remember one time my phone just stopped charging, I thought the charger had gone bad so I went to get a new one; that, and the others I borrowed from friends didn't work until I restarted the phone. Some people that find themselves in this situation may even take the battery out and slam it a few times on the floor, then when the put it back in and it works, they'll go "hey my trick worked, I'm a genius". But in reality, a simply restart would do it.
If you do not know how to restart your iPhone, follow the guide below:
- Press and hold the Sleep button on the top of your iPhone for a few seconds until the red slide to off slider appears.
- Slide the slider to turn off your phone.
- Wait about 10 seconds, then press the Sleep button to turn the phone back on.
- Now, re-open Netflix and try to do what you were trying to do before the error 1011 came up (streaming a movie perhaps).
4. Use Another Internet Connection
Like I said before, the problem could be your network connection. Have you tried opening a webpage from your browser to make sure your connection is good as described in item 1? If you have, it is also possible that your connection speed is not quick enough to stream videos on Netflix, so trying another internet connection (WiFi) would be your best bet to rule out your connection as the cause of the problem.
To change to a WiFi network connection:
- Click on the Settings icon on your home screen.
- Choose Wi-Fi.
- Find your Wi-Fi network and connect to it.
After you have connected successfully, open Netflix and try streaming your video again, it should work this time.
5. Clear Your Netflix Cookies
To eliminate the doubt that this problem may be the result of a corrupt cookie file, clear your netflix cookies by following the instructions below:
- From your browser, go to this web address _URL_
- After typing that address and pressing enter, you netflix cookies would be cleared and you would be logged out of your account.
- Now try to log back in and see if the error remains.
6. Delete and Reinstall the Netflix App
To delete the Netflix app from your iOS device:
- Press and hold the Netflix icon on your home screen until it wiggles.
- Click on the little X on the top of the icon, then choose Delete.
To install the Netflix app:
- Visit the Apple App Store, then search for Netflix (by Netflix Inc). The app is free.
- Click Install. After the app has installed, sign in and try to stream again.

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions, restrictions and blockages. To better understand how COVID-19 affects global mobility, IOM is developing a global mobility database by mapping and gathering data from the locations, status and different restrictions of Points of Entry (PoE), globally. This Points of Entry Baseline Assessment provides an overview and analysis on data from various countries, territories and areas (CTAs).
As of 26th March 2020 (17:00 CET), data for the baseline assessment of Points of Entry (PoE) has been collected and processed for 108 countries/areas.
The PoE Baseline database contains information on 1,501 points of entry.
These consist of 313 airports, 89 internal transit points, 882 land border points and 217 sea border points.
Of the 1,501 PoEs assessed, 1,280 (85%) have some form of restriction placed upon them, 679 were being fully closed for entry and exit and 477 partially closed.
Of the assessed PoE's, 91% were reported to be official points of entry.
The most common restriction period ranged between 14 days to onemonth (53% of all assessed PoEs).
Of the 650 PoE's imposing some form of health restriction, 38% are reportedly conducting routine health screenings, and a further 32% have COVID-19 specific screening activities ongoing.

Here is a question which probably has a negative answer, but I couldn't find any literature directly on it.
Let $(A_n)$ be a sequence of rectangular 0-1 matrices (that is, the entries are restricted to zero or one), such that for all $n$, the matrix product $A_n A_{n-1}$ makes sense. Suppose in addition that the following hold:
(i) there is a bound on the dimensions (sizes) of all the $A_n$;
(ii) for all $k$, there exists $N(k)$ such that the product $$ A_{N(k)+k}\cdot A_{N(k) + k-1} \cdot \dots \cdot A_{k+1} $$ is strictly positive (meaning, every entry is nonzero);
(iii) every $A_n$ has at least one nonzero entry in each of its columns and in each of its rows.
Then is it true that the sequence $(A_n)$ is weakly ergodic?
That is, for every $k$, given any two states at time $k$, call them $i$ and $j$ (corresponding to the transition by $A_{k+1}$), and given $\epsilon > 0$, there exists $K > k$ such that for every state $m$ at time $K$, the number of paths from $i $ to $m$ divided by the number of paths from $j$ to $m$ is within $\epsilon$ of a real number depending only on $i$ and $j$.
[This is the translation to weak ergodicity in the non-stochastic case. It is really a statistical criterion about numbers of paths joining states $\dots$. It is also necessary and sufficient for a dimension group with Bratteli diagram implemented by the sequence of matrices to be simple and have unique trace.]
It $is$ true if $N(k)$ is bounded above (use Birkhoff metric and the corresponding contraction theorem) or if the matrices are all square of size two (since then, the matrices satisfying (iii) have determinant plus or minus one or are all ones). The theorem is also true if infinitely many $A_n$ have rank one (trivial), or a bit less trivially, if there is a telescoping so that infinitely many of the telescoped products have rank one. Also sufficient is a condition like $N(k) = o(\ln k)$, but this is far from what I want.
There is almost certainly a reduction to the case that the $A_n$ are all square, so (i) is probably a red herring, that is, we just assume they are all square of the same size. The 0-1 condition can be replaced by having uniform upper and lower bounds on the nonzero entries of the nonnegative matrices $A_n$.
There is a considerable amount of literature on similar-sounding problems (e.g., variations on Wolkowitz' theorem, where it is assumed that the $A_n$ and their products are at least primitive or similar, or the $A_n$ are columnor row-stochastic or at least have a strictly positive column,...), but this one seems far harder, and thus more likely to fail. If there is a counter-example, I would like to see minimal strengthening hypotheses so that there is a positive (!) answer.
I think there's a counterexample to the statement in the generality given here (with 6*6 matrices).
There are 2 matrix types in the counterexample:
$$ C=\begin{pmatrix} 1&1&0&0&0&0\\ 1&1&0&0&0&0\\ 0&0&1&1&0&0\\ 0&0&1&1&0&0\\ 0&0&0&0&1&0\\ 0&0&0&0&0&1\end{pmatrix} \text{ and } D=\begin{pmatrix} 1&1&0&0&1&0\\ 1&1&0&0&1&0\\ 0&0&1&1&0&1\\ 0&0&1&1&0&1\\ 0&0&1&1&0&0\\ 1&1&0&0&0&0 \end{pmatrix}. $$
I'm thinking of 1 and 2 as a communicating class; 3 and 4 as another communicating class; and 5's as being a wormhole from 1's and 2's to 3's and 4's; and 6's as being a wormhole from 3's and 4's to 1's and 2's.
The sequence I have in mind is something like $\ldots A_nA_{n-1}\ldots A_1=\ldots DC^{1600}DC^{800}DC^{400}DC^{200}DC^{100}$. It has the mixing property because for any $k$, choosing $N(k)$ large enough that $A_{k+N(k)}\ldots A_{k+1}$ contains two $D$'s satisfies the property.
Next, I claim that it doesn't satisfy weak ergodicity. In particular, I want to say that the large majority of paths starting in the $\{1,2\}$ class stay in that class forever.
Let $t_1,t_2,t_3,\ldots$ be the times with the $D$'s. Label the equivalence classes as $1=\{1,2\}$; $2=\{3,4\}$; $3=\{5\}$ and $4=\{6\}$ [ apologies for the notation ].Let $Z^{(m,n)}_{ij}$ be the 4*4 matrix giving the number of paths from an element of type $i$ at time $m$ to an element of type $j$ at time $n$.
Then $Z^{(t_j,t_{j+1})}$ looks like $$ \begin{pmatrix} 2^{2^j}&1&2^{2^j}&0\\ 1&2^{2^j}&0&2^{2^j}\\ 0&1&0&0\\ 1&0&0&0 \end{pmatrix} $$ When you take products of these, you never get a substantial flow from the 1 class to the 2 class.
 - $\begingroup$ What a neat example! (Minor correction: five, not two, $D$s are required to make the product strictly positive.) I had been flailing around with powers of upper triangular, followed by lower triangular matrices. It does suggest other questions, e.g., if the matrices are restricted to full rank, or even if they are unimodular, then perhaps weak ergodicity holds? $\endgroup$ – David Handelman Jan 9 '14 at 15:12

Microsoft Clippy (aka "Office Assistant" or "Clipit") is a feature remembered by many users of Microsoft Word. It assisted users by way of an interactive animated character, which interfaced with Office's online Help. Although the concept of "embedded" or "persistent" Help was good, its application in the real-life working environment was not well received.
With more and more people reading information via tablets and mobile phones, and with the new technologies they contain, perhaps it's time to revisit the concept of Clippy. Perhaps it can be done right this time?
There are two technologies that tablets and mobile phones contain which are worth considering. One is haptic feedback, the other is ambient technology.
- Haptic feedback is technology that interfaces with the user through the sense of touch – typically through your device vibrating.
- Ambient technology refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people.
An example from the e-learning environment is Evernote Peek, which makes use of the iPad's Smart Cover to present information.
Perhaps instead of an animated character clamouring for our attention, a more subtle notification by a vibration or a glowing button might be a better way to tell users help is available that can guide them through their task.
We're not aware of any User Assistance that is using haptic or ambient technologies today, so do let us know if you've seen any examples out there.

How to Tighten a Rattling Heat Shield
A car heat shield. Learn when to worry about a rattling heat shield.
For the most part, we associate a quiet car with a healthy car. Loose parts usually mean something is wrong, and could affect the reliability and safety of your vehicle. While some see a rattling heat shield as a mere annoyance, others may find it embarrassing. In some cases, a loose heat shield could be a major problem.
Because the primary purpose of the exhaust system is to route superheated gases away from the engine, everything around the exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter, exhaust pipes and muffler gets hot. Catalytic converters are particularly hot — they only begin functioning between 400 and 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and normally range between 1,200 and 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit. The rest of the exhaust system typically measures 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Exhaust Heat Shields — What Are They Rattling For?
These heat shields were mounted to the body over the exhaust.Many car parts cannot manage such heat. Plastic and rubber parts can melt or become brittle, electric motors and sensors can fail, and dry grass or paper can spontaneously combust. Made of thin metal sheets, heat shields deflect much of the extreme heat, some affixed to the exhaust system and others affixed to parts needing protection.
Exhaust heat shields fail for a couple of reasons: rust and vibration. Fittingly, the parts the heat shields are designed to protect often cause their failure. All metal exposed to the atmosphere corrodes, but heat speeds up the process, so clamps, bolts or welds can rust to nothing, leading to a loose heat shield. Vibrations can weaken the metal, causing a heat shield to fall off, rattling against the exhaust or some other part of the vehicle.
How to Fix a Rattling Heat Shield
Some don't see much use for a rattling heat shield, so they simply remove them and discard them, but this can be a problem. Because the heat shields are designed to protect other car parts from the extreme heat of the exhaust, removing them completely could cause premature failure of other components or even fire. The best way to fix a rattling heat shield is to replace it or reaffix it. Here are a few ways to fix your rattling heat shield:
 - Weld: If you have access to a welder, you may be able to tack the heat shield to the exhaust. Be careful, as both the thin metal heat shield and exhaust pipe may burn through.
 - Bolt: In some cases, you may be able to install new nuts and bolts to reaffix a bolt-on heat shield. If the holes are too wide, fender washers can make up for that extra space.
 - Clamp: Stainless steel screw clamps can be used in some situations, such as where a heat shield was welded or clamped to an exhaust pipe.
 - Tie: Another way to fix a loose heat shield is with a stainless steel tie, which won't rust after installation. Link several together for larger components, such as muffler heat shields.
If a loose heat shield has you worried, you may not need new exhaust pipes, but one of these quick fixes can restore your sanity and protect your vehicle from the heat. Of course, if you're going to get under the vehicle, be sure it is securely lifted and supported by jack stands.
Check out all the exhaust parts and accessories available on NAPA Online or trust one of our 17,000 NAPA AutoCare locations for routine maintenance and repairs. For more information on heat shields, chat with a knowledgeable expert at your local NAPA AUTO PARTS store.

- Issue Date:
Cooperative learning has been introduced into International Accounting, a second year subject at a major Australian university. The purpose was to provide students with a satisfying experience of learning within a social context and to develop their interpersonal, professional and written communication skills. The main data were collected during the Spring Semester 2005. In the penultimate lecture, a questionnaire was distributed to each of the students present. Findings suggest that despite some difficulties, the majority of students reported that cooperative learning created supportive team experiences that assisted them to develop discussion skills and better engage with the content of International Accounting.

Where Is the Oil Pressure Sensor Located?
The oil pressure sensor is typically located near the bottom, right side of an engine, between the oil filter and the oil pan, according to Repair Pal. However, the oil pressure sensor, also known as the oil pressure switch or sender, has different locations depending on a vehicle's make.
The oil pressure sensor measures the pressure at which the oil pump is pumping engine oil, according to Autos.com. An oil pump in good working order operates between 20 and 40 pounds per square inch. Serious and permanent engine damage occurs if the pressure drops below this range. Some vehicles have oil pressure gauges, both electrical and mechanical, built into the dashboards, while others have signal lights. The vehicle's oil pressure warning system alerts the driver to issues detected by the sensor.
The cause of a low oil pressure reading is often a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, according to AutoZone. If the oil pressure in the main gallery is not low, but the oil pressure sensor is reading it low, the sensor is most likely malfunctioning and requires replacement. A mechanic can check the sensor for a loose or broken connection. If the oil is low, a mechanic can look for signs of an oil leak.


Choosing the (right) Number of Fingers
There are four variables to consider when choosing how many fingers your gripper may need.
Choosing the Number of Fingers for Your Soft Robotics Gripper
Please note the below are best practice tips to provide you with the best gripper selection
 1. SIZE: In general, the more fingers you can use to handle your product, the better. In the case of a bagel, a 4 or 5 Finger EOAT is best as all 4/5 will fit around the entire bagel. A pen is a great example of a smaller product that would likely require just 2 Fingers.
 2. SHAPE: If a product has more of a square, or circular form factor an EOAT with between 2 and 5 Fingers would be most effective. A product that has more of a rectangular or elliptical form factor would require between 4 and 6 Fingers.
 3. STRUCTURE: Products such as a pen or a dinner roll have enough structure to support their own weight when grasped and will not collapse when gripped. These products would require fewer Fingers compared to a bag of pretzels, which would require more Fingers to support the collapsible structure of the bagged item.
 4. MASS: If a product has a lower mass, fewer Fingers can be used. As the mass of the product increases, the number of Fingers may also need to increase to support the product.

terminate.
As written this doesn't make sense - a value of an attribute being a
precondition seems like a type error to me. I think you mean something like
availability of an attribute value. But even that is hard to follow. Suggest
simplifying this to just:
Given an assertion uses(pe,x,r) or uses(pe,x,r,t), existence of x is a
pre-condition for the activity denoted by pe to terminate.
5.5 Derivation
Given an assertion isDerivedFrom(B,A), one can infer that the use of
characterized entity denoted by A precedes the generation of the characterized
entity denoted by B.
Where does this notion of "use" come from in the absence of some referenced
Concerning transitivity of derivation:
A has attributes a0, a1
B having attributes b0, b1 is derived from A, with b0 being dependent on a0
C having attributes c0, c1, is derived from B with c1 being dependent on b1
So none of the attributes of C can be said to be directly or indirectly
dependent on attributes of A, which by the given definition is a requirement for
derivation of C from A. Thus, as defined, derivation cannot be transitive.
I don't really know if derivation should or should not be transitive, but the
above seems to me like a problem of spurious over-specification. My suggestion
for now would be to focus on what really matters and see what logical properties
fall out later.
5.8 IVP of
The revised (w.r.t.
_URL_ treatment of
IVP-of, and relabeling as "complement-of" completely overturns my understanding
of what this was intended to capture. I understood the whole point of A IVP-of B
was intended to capture the notion that A denotes a contextually constrained
form of the entity denoted by B. I don't see what useful purpose this relation
 From a practical perspective, given the asymmetric nature of IVP-of (as was) it
is easy to express the effect of complement-of in RDF by introducing a new
entity node. But I see no way of constructing the strict constraining role of
IVP using complement-of.
5.9 Time
Time is defined according to [ISO8601].
I don't think it is appropriate of an open standard to be normatively dependent
on a standard that is available only on payment of a charge for access. In this
case, we could make reference to the XML scheme datatypes, which would also
require us to think about my next point...
As far as I'm aware, ISO 8601 covers both points in time and time intervals. As
such a bare reference to ISO 86012 is not really an adequate definition: which
do we want? I suspect _URL_
5.10 Recipe Link
I don't see what useful purpose this serves.
5.11 Role
I can't completely follow the description given.
5.13 Ordering of Processes
This section confusingly changes the style of presentation from sections
dedicated to specific concepts to a vague discussion of possible relationships
between things.
5.14 Revision
This seems to be just a different form of Derivation that happens to mention an
agent. I'm not sure why I'd choose one over the other.
I think this may be unnecessary - would not a similar effect be achieved by
having a process execution of "revision" that uses b1, generates b2 and is
controlled by ag (possibly with role "revise"?).
5.16 Provenance Container
It's not clear what this is intended to be (maybe unsurprising, since the
definition is absent). But it looks as if it's intended to a syntactical kind
of thing, which I feel is out of place in a data model description (especially
if we're expecting to use RDF to represent the data). The next version of RDF
will probably formally define named graphs - I'm not seeing what additional
definition would be needed here.

The purpose of a fitness or group fitness instructor is to build fitness participation of new and existing members through fitness experiences that meet their needs.
An Instructor delivers fitness instruction to individuals with the use of& equipment (Fitness Instructor) or to a group through fitness classes (Group Fitness Instructor). Both types of the occupation have the same purpose and require the same level of knowledge, skills and competences. Therefore, most of the requirements are the same for both occupation types. However, to be able to fulfil this purpose, each of the occupation types may require additional knowledge, skills and competences specific for that type.
- The fitness or group fitness instructor should be able to:
- Provide effective and safe fitness instruction
- Promote healthy lifestyle management
- Identify individual motives and resulting short, medium and long-term fitness goals
- Suggest relevant exercise adaptations or options to allow for individual client differences or needs
- Provide participants with advice on intensity and how to progress their individual performance and results
- Observe clients/members at all times and correct unsafe technique
- Display perfect technique at all times (posture, range of motion, control, timing and form)
- Positively interact and motivate clients/members using appropriate strategies in order to promote adherence to exercise.
- Deliver good customer service and be a positive role model at all times
- Promote healthy activities and related strategies for daily living to clients/members (lifestyle management)

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced on 6 February 2018 that he was asking Professor Sir Norman Williams to conduct a rapid policy review into the issues pertaining to gross negligence manslaughter in healthcare.
Working with stakeholders, the Review considered:
- how to ensure healthcare professionals are adequately informed about:
- where and how the line is drawn between gross negligence manslaughter (GNM) and negligence;
- what processes are gone through before initiating a prosecution for GNM;
- how the vital role of reflective learning, openness and transparency is protected where the healthcare professional believes that a mistake has been made to ensure that lessons are learned and mistakes not covered up;
The Review also explored the lessons that need to be learned by the General Medical Council (GMC) and other healthcare professionals' regulators in relation to how they deal with professionals following a criminal process for gross negligence manslaughter.
The Community Pharmacy Patient Safety Group submitted evidence as part of the Review.
In summary, we stated that:
- We would be extremely disappointed if an unintended consequence of the tragic death of Jack Adcock and the following case against Dr Bawa-Garba was the regression to a blame culture in any part of the health and care system, or moves towards a more risk-averse form of healthcare
- An appropriate balance must be struck – currently the GPhC, employers, patients and professionals expect and potentially require (e.g. as part of GPhC standards) that pharmacy professionals are open and honest, and reflect when things go wrong to help organisations understand the factors that have led to an incident so that lessons can be learned/shared, yet these reflections and analysis can then be demanded as part of a criminal investigation and used against the individual involved
- It often feels as though the ultimate goal of regulatory action is to improve public safety and patient care, yet the ultimate goal of a criminal investigation is usually to punish an individual – which makes the responsible pharmacist particularly vulnerable when things go wrong
- There is vast inconsistency in the approach taken by police forces in handling incidents involving healthcare professionals and it is not clear who advises them on proportionality and reasonable expectations. Professionals have a relatively clearer understanding of what to expect from their regulator (due to decision-making guidance being published) but criminal processes are much less clear so we would welcome further guidance on this.
- Public understanding of regulatory action and the application of learning should be improved – a lack of criminal conviction does not equate to a lack of action/learning and a conviction does not automatically lead to improved safety.
- We were particularly concerned by the approach taken by the GMC in this case, especially in the context that the Department of Health recently consulted on proposals to merge several of the healthcare regulators.

 In This Topic
 The point markers in the polar point series or the series can be assigned a border, fill effect, shape, size, and a depth. Assigning null for a border or fill effect indicates that the property is unset. The size of the point marker is measured in model units. The depth of the point marker is measured relative to plot area depth (0 = no depth, 1 = full depth of plot area).
 Each point has two data values: x (angle) and y (radius). Each point is visualized as a point marker. You can also specify individual point marker borders and fill effects for each data point.
 The point chart can be a polar plot such as the one shown in the figure:

Papua New Guinea: Smallholder Support Services Pilot Project
This performance evaluation report assesses the performance and impact of the project and generates a series of findings, lessons and recommendations to contribute in the future design and implementation of similar ADB projects.
Agriculture in Papua New Guinea is the main source of household livelihood and income for 70% of the population. The country exports cocoa, coffee, coconut rubber, and oil palm, and has an active domestic market for other agricultural products. Most of the export crops are grown in smallholder plots but with increasing focus on outgrower schemes and cooperative farmer production and marketing. The pilot project was designed to test the viability of increasing private sector approaches to technical assistance support for smallholder agriculture in Papua New Guinea. The pilot project became effective on 21 December 1999 and closed on 30 April 2009. The estimated project cost was $11.49 million, including a $7.6 million ADB loan from ordinary capital resources.
Overall, the project is rated successful. It was assessed as being relevant, effective, and efficient. It was also rated likely sustainable and led to moderate institutional development and other impacts. The performance of ADB and the borrower was rated satisfactory. The government planned to replicate the pilot project approach through its National Agriculture Development Plan, 2006-2011 but the evaluation found that the resources allocated were diverted for other priorities. Nevertheless, within the scope of the pilot project and with the adoption of pilot project approaches in other projects, the project has been rated sustainable.
Important lessons were also generated regarding private sector contracting by the government; local planning in decentralization; and the value of combined product, financial, and life skills packages. More could have been done to capture the learning from the pilot activities and extend them nationwide. The government may wish to consider whether to take a strategic approach to private sector involvement in agriculture through adopting the approach of the pilot project in all provinces and districts, or whether the lessons learned will remain within the pilot provinces.

The contribution of sewer leakage to urban groundwater recharge remains poorly characterised. There has been a tendency to focus on estimating leakage from pipe network characteristics rather than its impact on the receiving environment. Indeed, pipeline leakage simulation models are frequently used to analyse sewage systems and optimise maintenance efforts. Here a mass balance approach employing groundwater geochemistry is presented to estimate sewer leakage rates; this is done using depth-specific groundwater quality measurements from multilevel monitoring piezometers, specially installed in the Sherwood Sandstone aquifer underlying Doncaster (UK). The results show that leakage rates from the foul sewage system are up to 10% of flow per annum (30–40% of urban recharge) and highlight the utility of groundwater quality monitoring (in particular depth-specific sampling) as an alternative means to assess sewage ingress to urban groundwater

Exp-1 To measure the force of attraction between charged capacitor plates by Null Method.
Exp-2 To calculate the permittivity of Air.
Exp-3 To measure the force between current carrying conductor and determine the permeability of Air.
By means of null method this balance measures tiny forces, it possess adjustable counterweight and an optical lever. To measure the repulsive force between parallel current-carrying conductors a pair of straight aluminium rods are given. Attractive force between charged capacitor plates ,a pair of plates are also included. In the electromagnetic experiment sufficient deflection may be caused by means of a current of 10-20A. For returning the balance to its original position, fractional weights are added to a small pan which is attached to the upper conductor rod, thus force between the conductors are measured. The dynamic definition of the Ampere or to determine the permeability of Air may be confirmed by interpretation of the result. Permittivity of the air may be observed by the analogous electrostatic experiment. An indirect estimate of the speed of light may be made from these two values. The whole experiment requires a diode laser & scale for the optical lever, fractional weight set for the current experiment, multimetyer for volts and amps, a 300V variable high voltage source and an AC or Dc current source for 10-20A. A detailed manual is included.
Scope of Supply:

Hallvard of Norway
From OrthodoxWiki
Revision as of 00:31, May 29, 2012 by Danielmikaelson (Talk | contribs)
Jump to: navigation, search
Hallvard Vebjørnsson (Hallvard Den Hellige) (c. 1020–1043), commonly referred to as Saint Hallvard, is the patron saint of Oslo. He is considered a martyr because of his defence of an innocent woman.
Little is known of his life, and all traditional stories relate to his death near Drammen. The exact year of birth and place of his birth is unknown. According to tradition, his father was the farmer Vebjørn. His parents were wealthy farmers and owned the farm Husaby in Lier. His mother was Torny Gudbrandsdatter. His mother was reportedly related to St. Olav, the patron saint of Norway. It is said that his mother was the daughter of Gudbrand Kula from Oppland, who was also the father of Åsta Gudbrandsdatter, St. Olav's mother.
Hallvard defended a pregnant woman, most likely a slave, who had been given sanctuary on his ship from three men accusing her of theft. Hallvard, together with the woman, were killed by arrows from the men. The woman was buried on the beach. Hallvard, however, was bound with a millstone around his neck, and the men attempted to drown his body in Drammensfjord but it refused to sink and as a result their crimes were discovered.
St. Hallvard was celebrated as a local saint in Norway - and especially in the eastern region - throughout the Middle Ages from about mid-11th century, with a peak in the early 13th century. His religious feast day was 15 May. Hallvard has been revered as a martyr for his defence of an innocent person since medieval times.
Hallvard's Cathedral (Hallvardskatedralen), a cathedral dedicated to his name was finished in Oslo in 1130, where his relics were stored. The Cathedral was built on the hill by the Old Town market square in Oslo (intersection of Bispegata - Oslo gate) during the early 12th century, and was in use as a church until about 1655. Besides being the bishop's seat and religious center in more than 500 years, the cathedral was the coronation church, the royal wedding church and the royal burial chapel. It fell into disrepair in the 17th century and is today a ruin.
The connection of St. Hallvard to the city of Oslo was fortified by the fact that his image was recorded in the city's seal already on the 14th century. The municipality's highest honor, the St. Hallvard Medal (St. Hallvard-medaljen), was named after him in 1950.

CCTV Storage Calculation: Formula & Storage Saving Tips
Yolanda4/24/2024
CCTV Storage Calculation
Wonder how to calculate the CCTV storage and the hard disk capacity for CCTV? In fact, the storage calculation for security cameras as well as the hard disk storage calculation on your own can be quite easy. In this post, you will learn a more precise CCTV storage calculation formula as well as the storage saving tips to maximize your CCTV camera storage capacity.
Alternative to CCTV Storage Calculator - DIY Calculation Formula
The camera storage calculator software online can give you quick answers to your CCTV camera recording capacity. But the results are far from preciseness – different storage calculators can provide you divergent outcomes. More importantly, they don't apply to EVERYONE.
So, we have got this DIY formula for you to calculate the hard disk capacity for CCTV:
Storage Space (GB) = Bitrate (Kbps) * 1000/8 * 3600 * 24 * Cameras * Days/1000 000 000
 - *1000/8 = to convert kbps to Bytes
 - *3600 = to convert from seconds to hour
 - *24 = to convert from hour to day
 - Cameras = total number of cameras
 - Days = total number of days you want to record
With the above CCTV storage calculation formula, you can now be off to calculate CCTV camera storage or the hard disk capacity for CCTV.
Camera Storage Calculator Formula Example
If you have 2 cameras whose maximum bitrate is 1024 Kbps and want to record for 7 days nonstop, according to this CCTV camera storage calculation formula:
Required storage space = 1024 * 1000/8 * 3600 * 24 * 2 * 7/1000 000 000 = _PHONE_ GB
You can also apply this formula to the storage calculation of different brands, including the Reolink IP camera storage calculator, DVR time calculator for Samsung, Hikvision, Panasonic, Axis, Hoenywell, HD-SDI, Auetura, Milestone, Bosch, etc.
Note that the results worked out by the above storage calculator formula for CCTV may not be exactly the same with your actual storage needs, as the CCTV camera storage calculation is impacted by various factors.
CCTV IP Cameras Storage Calculation
What Impacts the Home CCTV Camera Storage Capacity
Below we list the main determinants for CCTV storage calculation, which could affect your CCTV camera recording capacity.
 - Resolution – The high the resolution, the larger the CCTV camera storage capacity in days is required.
 - Compression – Video compression is a kind of technique that reduces the size of original video file formats and thus occupies less storage space than the original files. The popular video compression formats include H.264, MJPEG and MPEG4.
 - Bitrate – Higher camera bitrate contributes to better video quality, which on the other hand, also means greater storage capacity required, as you can infer from the calculation formula above. And it is also affected by the resolution and compression formats. Lower resolution and highly compressed videos will require less bitrate.
 - Number of Camera – The number of cameras you use can also impact the storage calculation. If you use multiple cameras simultaneously, more space will be required.
 - Days – The longer CCTV recording retention period is, the larger storage capacity is required.
When you utilize this formula, note that it is calculated by days, so you need to convert the hours to days if the camera records in hours.
On top of these, the storage space can also be influenced by other factors, such as the audio recordings, recording modes (motion triggered recording or 24/7 recording), amount of motion activities, lighting conditions of the scene, etc.
Even if the IP camera or hard disk drive storage space doesn't meet the required storage capacity according to the formula, there is NO need to worry!
Normally, the original videos will be overwritten by the new ones when the capacity reaches its maximum capacity. Just remember to back up the important documents before they are overwritten.
Can't-Miss Tips to Maximize CCTV Storage
Now that you have grasped the video surveillance storage calculator tool, the next question is how to maximize your the storage capacity of your security camera systems. These following practical storage-saving tips can do the trick to serve your purpose.
1. Choose H.264 IP Cameras
As mentioned above, H.264 video format can greatly affect the storage capacity.
Without compromising the image quality, H.264 format can reduce the size of a video by more than 80% compared with MJPEG format and 50% with the MPEG-4 format, thus optimizing the CCTV camera storage capacity.
Watch the high resolution video recorded by the H.264 IP camera, Reolink Argus 2E.

2. Go for PTZ Security Cameras to Cover More Areas
Instead of using two security cameras with relatively narrow field of view, why not simply employ ONE PTZ security camera? It not only covers wider monitoring areas, but also allows you to zoom in to identify more details.

Additionally, according to the DIY calculation formula, you can also save the storage space with fewer cameras.
3. Adjust the Camera Resolution
In order to optimize the CCTV camera storage capacity, you may adjust the camera resolution based on the places you are going to monitor.
For the critical entrances with high traffic, higher resolution is required to record clear videos. While in the places of less importance, you can record at a comparatively low resolution.
4. Set up Proper Recording Modes
Since the recording mode is also a vital determinant, it is always best to set up the recording modes based on your needs.
For example, when you are at home, you can switch the camera recording mode to the motion-triggered recording instead of continuous recording. Or you can also choose to record only during the selected time.
5. Utilize External HDDs
What if the built-in hard disk drive of your DVR/NVR fails to meet your storage needs as per the CCTV HDD calculator?
The way is simple: Expand your DVR/NVR storage with an external HDD. Now many DVRs and NVRs on the market, such as Reolink NVR, allow you to install an external HDD for more storage space.
6. Disable Audio Recording If Not Necessary
In places such as parking lots, recording videos with audio is not a necessity. You can disable the audio recording in order to save the CCTV camera storage space.
7. Place Security Cameras in Low-Traffic Areas
Too many false alarms and unwanted motion-triggered videos will take up much security camera storage space.
To take full advantage of the storage space, avoid placing your security cameras in the crowded areas. Also, you may disable the security camera motion detection when it is not needed to CCTV camera recording capacity.
8. Back up Important Files Regularly
Though your CCTV camera storage capacity might be limited, you can regularly back up and transfer the important files to your computer, so that more storage space can be freed to save new videos.
Do you still have any questions about the CCTV storage calculation? Have I missed any useful solutions to optimize storage capacity of cameras? Feel free to ping me in the comments.
FAQs
How long will 1TB last on CCTV?
It depends on several factors, such as resolution, compression method, frame rate, etc. For example, higher resolution cameras produce larger files. 1TB will last approximately 30 days of footage for a 720p security camera. For a 4K UHD camera, 1TB storage will only support 7-10 days of footage storage.
How much storage do you need for CCTV?
The storage needed for a CCTV system depends on factors such as the number of cameras, their resolution, frame rate, compression method, and retention period. Calculate the average daily storage usage per camera, then multiply by the number of cameras and the desired retention period to determine the total storage needed. Finally, convert the total storage requirement to terabytes (TB) for your specific security purposes.
How many GB is 24 hours CCTV?
On average, a single camera recording in 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second (fps) with efficient compression may consume approximately 60-100GB in 24 hours. However, the accurate consumption can vary based on specific system configurations and recording conditions.
Conclusion
Using surveillance camera storage calculator can effectively help businessed and individuals optimize their security systems. By accurate calculating the storage capacity based on resolution, frame rate, and retention period, users can choose the best surveillance devices.

- This article is about the fleet of Time Ships. For the novel of the same name, see The Time Ships.
The Time Ships were a type of massive Time Machine built by the Universal Constructors in an alternate timeline. Like their predecessor, The Time Machine, the ships were capable of free travel through time in any direction. The ships appear to made solely from plattnerite itself. However, these Time Ships were far superior to earlier Time Machines, being capable of traveling further back in time than the beginning of the universe, and beyond that point they were able to perceive different timelines from the beginning. As such, the Time Ships were capable of traveling from timeline to timeline at will.
The Universal Constructors, along with The Time Traveler and Nebogipfel, were taken along for the fleet's maiden voyage, transformed into Constructors themselves. On that voyage, the Constructors were able to enter and create a new timeline which would become both infinite and entirely filled with sentience. (The Time Ships)

Hetty Howland Robinson Green (_PHONE_), America's first great female financier, is a largely forgotten figure in the annals of enterprise. Born into a wealthy Quaker family, Green inherited one million dollars from the deaths of her father and aunt, yet carried a grudge for both her entire lifetime. Setting out to prove her financial acumen, Green, through sound investing and pathological thrift, parlayed her inheritance into $100 million (over $2 billion in today's dollars), becoming the richest woman in America. While accumulating her vast fortune during the Gilded Age and into the twentieth century, Green exhibited numerous eccentricities, sensationalized by the media of the day and further embellished by posthumous biographies of her. This Dig Into The Archives will peel away the myth to reveal an underappreciated, yet deeply troubled woman, whose financial genius and misunderstood character earned her the title of the Witch of Wall Street.

text: Abstract: We analyze the competitive capacity investment timing decisions of both established firms and start-ups entering new markets which are characterized by a high degree of demand uncertainty. Firms may invest in capacity early (when the market is highly uncertain) or late (when market uncertainty has been resolved), possibly at different costs. In our model, established firms choose investment timing and capacity level to maximize expected profits. Start-ups are prone to bankruptcy if profit turns out to be too low, and hence choose investment timing and capacity level to maximize the probability of survival. Surprisingly, we find that in monopoly situations, a start-up is more likely to prefer early investment than an established firm, despite the presence of demand uncertainty. In duopoly situations with one start-up and one established firm competing in the same market, we characterize the equilibria of a strategic capacity investment timing game in which firms choose when to build capacity. We find that when demand uncertainty is high and costs do not decline too severely over time, the unique equilibrium of this game is for the start-up to take a leadership role and invest first in capacity while the established firm follows; by contrast, when two established firms compete in an otherwise identical game, high demand uncertainty leads to both firms investing late. Thus, the threat of bankruptcy leads to an increase in sequential investment outcomes in which the start-up leads, a result that we demonstrate persists even if the start-up is concerned with both profit and bankruptcy risk or profit above the bankruptcy threshold. We conclude that the threat of firm failure significantly impacts the dynamics of competition involving start-ups.
