Don't be surprised if the school media centers — they used to be libraries — have a run this month and the next on the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.
High schools participating in the FIRST Robotics competition will be playing a game that has overtones of "Around the World in 80 Days."
Teams will build robots capable of picking up and launching balls to "fuel" a boiler and picking up and transporting gears to lighter-than-air vessels participating in a race.
The game, which was revealed to about 20 local teams Saturday at Capac High School, is called STEAMworks — and there's a dual meaning to the title. STEAM is an acronym used by educators for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math — and the title refers to the steampunk nature of the game.

Janet Antilla, who helps coach the Capac Metal and Soul team with her husband, John, and what seems like a host of Antilla children — there are four of them — said FIRST teaches students about technology in ways that can be applied in the real world.
"It's a technological world," she said. "High tech is the big thing, and programs like this help prepare students for careers in high tech."
Capac has been host to the big FIRST reveal for four years. This year, the team had to move the event from the auxiliary gymnasium to the main gym.
"Every school district in St. Clair County has a team," Janet Antilla said. "Yale was the last district."
The program is growing in St. Clair County and the Thumb. In 2016, Marysville High School was host to a First Robotics district event — the first such event in the area. That is going to happen again on April 6-8, said Jon Smith, a Marysville teacher and coach of the Marysville Vi-Bots.

He said 40 teams were at the school in 2016 for the three-day event.
"At this particular moment, we have 38 teams signed up," he said.
The event was an economic boost for area businesses, Smith said.
"A lot of places, the pizza and sub places, they did pretty well," he said.
He said the team is in its fourth year. Last year's squad made it to the FIRST Robotics World Championships in St. Louis, Missouri.
"That was incredible," Smith said. "There were 600 teams from around the world that were playing."
Individual teams in FIRST Robotics form three-team alliances for each game. Smith said the competition was divided into eight playing fields with 75 teams each.

"We had four continents represented on that field," he said.
Sam Walker was part of a rookie team, the Moobotics, that went to the world games in its first year. The team is back with a different name, DaMOOse.
"It was a lot of fun," he said. "At the beginning of the season, I thought we were going to do our two competitions and be done."
The team, however, won at Flint Kettering and at Marysville.
"I thought, 'Oh, wow. We really are going to worlds,'" Walker, 18, said.
"The world championships are an amazing experience," he said, noting that the Moobotics from rural St. Clair County were teamed with students from Israel and Mexico.

"We were between Israel and Australia in the pits," said his mother, Pamela Walker, who is one of the team coaches and mentors. "It was pretty cool."
Janet Antilla said FIRST Robotics is open to all students.
"One of the biggest things we hear when we recruit students is 'I'm not smart enough,'" she said. "I ask, 'Do you want to learn?'
"... That's the only requirement for this program. Do you want to learn and commit to it."

Your first step begins with gathering referrals from reliable sources whereas you can talk to family friends, office associates, business partners, as well as neighbors. Equally, your family physician or OBY-GN can provide you most dependable reference of recognized pediatrics Gaithersburg, much before you become a mother. No denying, this is the most chosen way of people to reach their pediatrician. If you don't have such sources or like to go on your own, spend considerable time in Google search to find the details of child specialists having setup in your neighboring. It is highly recommended to look for physicians whom you can access faster and easier, since infants up to their 2 years need monthly check up and often calls for emergency care services.
Your first criterion should be finding pediatricians who are certified by American board of pediatrics to make sure that you newborn get the finest class of healthcare services throughout his/her nurturing. You can find a number of web sites that are mainly focused on making people aware of the details of doctors specializing in various fields. Out of them you can get information if the doctor is ABP certified as well, all about from their medical schooling to duration of experience, the names of medical facilities where they practice, or having own clinics. Essentially, you must check if their license is active of not. Often due to malpractices in patient care, doctors are panelized with cancellation of medical license. The license status shows on the page.
No doubt, experience is a parameter that determines the standard of services you can expect from pediatrics in Gaithersburg. Evenly, you've to check the popularity of the physician or his/her recognition in the market which comes abreast thru providing the highest scale of child care services. Experience makes healthcare providers proficient to make fast and accurate diagnosis of health condition based on which the treatment process begins.
Once again, mind carefully children are no 'little adults'. The delicacy of their immune system makes infants highly vulnerable to get infected from sick babies as well as uncleanly atmosphere or polluted air in the clinic. Therefore, as you step in the unit for the first day, ensure if it has been prepared with separate well-baby and sick-baby section. If not, this is not the right place for your baby's care. It should be well cleaned while sanitation should be maintained in scheduled intervals throughout the day.
Evaluate how accommodating and well-behaved the clinical staff are. Do they welcome and talk to your queries property? Are they child adoring? While you wait in the reception, remain watchful how fast the receptionist receives the telephone calls and speak to the parents? If a parent asks for an emergency appointment briefing the condition of a child, does the receptionist share the matter with the doctor via intercom to check how the matter can be accommodated or just say 'no' upfront. This can happen to you also in future. Do the clinicians and nurses are friendly to the parents and children?
Typically, if it's the well-baby check up session, you can easily understand how caring and concerned the practitioner is in his services. Given that, this is the first time that doctors make a thorough check up counting the weight of the baby, feel the pulse, check vital signs, as well as ensure if there is any kind of labor room accidental issue that can cause broken bone etc. while talking to the doctor you need to feel comfortable with his responsive behavior and answering to your queries. Mind well, pediatrics will likely to play as the advisor, guide, and care provider for your child. So, after coming out of the clinic, if all the above points make you feel satisfied then you're exactly at the right place.


Fat Burn X is the latest dietary supplement fad to hit the market, promising to take you to the promised land of long-term weight loss. But is the proof in the pudding? Is all that fanfare you see on TV infomercials and on the web really legit? Not really; in fact, the only thing this product will burn in the end if your wallet...let's find out why.
First, what is the supposed 'magic' ingredient in Fat Burn X?
That would be garcinia cambogia (or rather the HCA found in it), which is a plant, and also known as Garcinia gummi-gutta. Its fruit appears to be very similar to a green pumpkin and is often found in many traditional dishes throughout Asia, where it is enjoyed for its sour taste.
In the skin, we find a high level of Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). This is the 'magical lightning in a bottle' active ingredient found in Fat Burn X.
However, even though various studies on rats (rats!) have shown credible weight-loss results, all studies done on humans have shown that dietary supplements containing HCA have only been successful at achieving short-term weight loss, and even then, with VERY minimal results: the highest loss weighed in at only a 1.2% change in body fat; hardly rip-roaringly successful.
The bottom line is that this weight-loss supplement is nothing more than another pretender; a placebo. They even make the outlandish claim that because this ingredient is found in so many Asian dishes, this is why Asians are thinner and have less obesity problems than westerners.
I guess that when clinical studies don't back up your claims, you need to grasp at straws and find any way possible to sell your product.
We strongly recommend you to check out www.dietpillquiz.org instead. It's an app that will find the perfect weight loss pill for you based on your age/gender/weight, metabolism type, eating habits and activities.

Why did Silent Running have songs written for it?
I watched the sci-fi film Silent Running recently and noticed that the film had many songs written specifically for the movie. Was there a specific reason as to why this is so? Was it common amongst other films of the time, or was it specific to this movie?

Because in ye olde days films had memorable original soundtracks rather than just a wall of noise written by Hans Zimmer – Valorum Nov 23 '17 at 19:57
I don't understand this question. Why wouldn't it have a soundtrack? Don't most movies have theme music? – the guest Nov 23 '17 at 20:53
@theguest - The question is why didn't they simply licence existing songs rather than composing an entire scoreful of entirely new works. You might also ask the same about the film Highlander. – Valorum Nov 23 '17 at 21:33
Peter Schickele had to rewrite significant parts of the (non-vocal) score as changes were made to the film. – Buzz Nov 24 '17 at 0:35
In the extras on the blu-ray of Silent Running, director Trumbull talks about the great difficulty he had in recruiting Joan Baez to do the title song (and a lovely song at that). Baez wrote the song.
Why did he do it? It adds immeasurably to the mood of the film, a fragile innocence, especially when interspersed with the somewhat nationalistic themes played for the exterior shots. This changing of music enhances the 'environment versus big government' theme of the film.
Getting that effect from existing music would have been far more difficult than having music tailored to bring out that contrast.

Not to mention that if you get the song custom-made, you can have them include the elements you want; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Wants_to_Live_Forever – Valorum Nov 23 '17 at 22:35
From a different perspective I'm going to suggest the reason was more mundane : money.
Scenario A.
purchase rights to use existing songs in your new movie
result : money goes out the door in the form of the initial cost and/or ongoing fees.
Scenario B.
pay to have songs written for your movie
result : initial fee, but you get to keep any and all revenue (or some slice of it) from later e.g. radio plays, record sales and performances.
I don't know about you, but wearing my Imaginary Film Producer Hat I'd prefer the B option. :-)
From an artistic point of view there was a desire to have music that reflected the movies themes and Joan Baez was, as it were, the Man for that job. :-)
It's just a matter of what kind of risk-reward model you want for your business after that.
An example of other films that have at least a song directly written for them are the Bond films, most of which have had their title songs written specifically for the movie.
Flash Gordon had it's soundtrack written by Queen, so the idea is not without precedent (though you could argue that Flash Gordon was an anomaly and not the norm).
If you broaden the scope of "song" to include any musical performance, then the majority of films have a score composed for them specifically. If you're limiting it to song in a more conventional sense, film musicals are another example.

Extreme got the VSP family of switches as part of the Avaya Chapter 11 restructuring announced in January 2017. The acquisition closed on July 17, 2017.
This is a 4-slot 2RU switch. At introduction, it was a 10 / 40 Gb/s switch. That was December 2016.
I'm familiar with the VSP lineup, I guess my question was more directed at the fact that their core story is a bit lacking from my perspective, unless they have something new in the pipeline. VSP9k is pretty much dead. VSP8k and VSP7k are basically trident 2 boxes like everyone else has, max out at 24 qsfp+ on the VSP 8404. I don't see anything with 100Gbps but maybe I'm missing something. I think the one unique thing is their support for SPB and the proprietary extensions that make it applicable for layer 3. In a lot of use cases people are attacking that now with an EVPN control plane and VXLAN instead.
And, they did have something in the pipeline. In September 2017 the VSP8404C data sheet appeared. A new modular card now has 2 x 100G QSFP28. This seems like a Trident2+ with a dual gear box chip. All previous cards from the VSP8404 are compatible with the 8404C.
"New intelligent buffer technology self-tunes thresholds for excellent burst absorption, offering a 5x efficiency gain over existing static designs."
This leaves one to ponder what existing designs are compared against. Those words were written by Avaya before they sold the product to Extreme, but Extreme has not updated them.

The Tottenham Hotspur Family Podcast
A global Tottenham Hotspur podcast and viewpoint, by the fans for the fans.
THST Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust
by Martin Cloake
The success of English football is based on the loyalty and passion of football supporters as much as on the exploits of those who pull on the shirt. That may seem quite some claim, but it helps explain why football is so much more than just another sport, and why clubs are so valued and valuable.
And that, in turn, goes some way towards explaining why the Supporters Trust movement exists, and why fans invest so much time and energy in the Trusts attached to their clubs. According to Supporters Direct, the umbrella body set up in 1999 to promote the Trust model, there are now 203 Trusts or community-owned clubs in the UK, with a combined membership of 676,271 fans. Of those Trusts, 75 have representation on their club's board.
THST is a representative, not-for-profit organisation run by fans for fans.
So what is a Supporters' Trust? And what can it do at Tottenham Hotspur? Supporters Direct was based on the success of the first Trust set up at Northampton Town in 1992. The full story can be read in this fascinating article on Sporting Intelligence, but in short the idea was that giving fans both rights and responsibilities would lead to better-run clubs.
It's easy to see how that works at clubs such as AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester, where fans set up their own clubs, or at clubs such as Bournemouth and Portsmouth, where fans bailed out clubs financially ruined by the so-called great and good, and then took control of the way the clubs were run.
"..we also work on the smaller but still important stuff such as the quality of catering, access issues and boosting the voice of overseas fans."
In the megabucks world of the English Premier League, it's harder for fans to have any influence – largely because it's harder for us to have any financial stake. But Swansea, another club rescued from potential extinction by its own fans, retains a supporter rep on the board, proving that the idea of fan representation on the board can work at this level.
As Spurs, the Trust suffered for a long time from the club just paying lip service to it, and from supporter apathy about whether anything could be achieved. But in the last three years, the Trust has upped its game at the same time as a wave of supporter activism across the Premier League's clubs has put the fan perspective centre stage.
"We've built a good reputation among matchgoing fans for our ticketing work…"
Our first principles are to be visible and open on the issues that matter. So dealing with ticketing issues takes up a significant part of our time. That ranges from day-to-day troubleshooting of individual fan problems, to lobbying for price freezes and reductions. We've built a good reputation among matchgoing fans for our ticketing work, and we've had some success in stopping price increases and extending concessions. And we've also restricted the chances for fans to be exploited on the StubHub ticket exchange scheme.
We also advise fans when they run into problems with the police and stewards at games, and get them legal advice when they need it. When serious problems arise entering stadiums and in away sections, as they did at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground earlier this season, we collect fan complaints and push the football authorities for proper solutions. On both these issues, the clubs and the authorities are beginning to recognise the value of having input from an organised and constructive body of fans.
We also talk to the club about the atmosphere in the stadium. It's becoming more widely recognised that the passion of crowds across the Premier League has lost its edge in recent years, and we're keen to promote the kind of support that makes White Hart Lane one of the great football arenas on its day. But we don't want traditional passion to be replaced by the kind of fake corporate flag-waving seen at some stadiums, so we work with grass roots fan groups and the club to make sure Spurs fans have the ability to express their support as passionately and genuinely as possible.
And, of course, there is the looming issue of the new stadium. Now that it has finally got the go-ahead, we will try to make sure that the fan perspective is fully taken on board. And that includes pushing for the cheaper prices we all want to see. We've already secured the club's support for the introduction of a safe standing area if legislation changes to allow it.
"The success of English football is based on the loyalty and passion of football supporters as much as on the exploits of those who pull on the shirt."
That's certainly one of the big issues, but we also work on the smaller but still important stuff such as the quality of catering, access issues and boosting the voice of overseas fans. And we work alongside other fan organisations nationally on campaigns around ticket pricing and policing especially, and on reforming the way football is run to strengthen supporter input. That national campaigning work has secured money from the Premier League to subsidise away travel and is driving the debate to bring prices down for away fans on a more permanent basis, as well as address the issue of why ticket prices remain so high at a time when an unprecedented amount of money is coming into the game.
All of this is done on a voluntary basis, which means we can't always respond as quickly as we'd like or do as much as we want to. But, in the end, we do it because we think it's worth working to show that fans can and should have a voice. At Spurs, it's highly unlikely the fans will ever own all or even some of the club. But we believe a club in which fans can have a genuine say in its running has a better chance of long-term success.
"A football club can be a successful business because of the loyalty of the fans."
Fans and those who run their club are not always going to agree. It's even true to say that most fans don't actually want to run the clubs we support at all. But what we do want is to have confidence in the way our clubs are run, to know our clubs are not just being bought and sold as commodities, and to know we are not just treated as an income stream.
A football club can be a successful business because of the loyalty of the fans that was mentioned at the beginning of this article. For too long, the only voice without any real influence in the game was that of the fans. That's something that is beginning to change, and THST aims to play its part in shaping that change.
Martin Cloake is the co-chair of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust, and a season ticket holder who has been watching the club live since 1978. He is also a journalist and author, and his personal website is http://www.martincloake.com.

In the spring of 1965, some 600 demonstrators embarked on a 54-mile-march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest the ongoing exclusion of African-Americans from the electoral process. Attacked by state and local police, the epic march and the two others that followed galvanized American public opinion, and persuaded President Johnson to introduce the Voting Rights Act within six months – a landmark piece of legislation that prohibits racial discrimination in voting.
Q: How did it feel to be playing one of the most famous men in history?
A: I was incredibly honoured because in my mind King is not only a very well known person, but someone who did such incredible things for black people and people around the world generally.
He did not have a personal or political agenda, and that's the thing that I admire most about him.
Even President Johnson wanted King to work with him in the White House, but he refused to let himself be 'boxed in' like that – he knew that if he became a political figure he would be discredited.
And he did what he did at huge cost to himself – physically, emotionally and financially.
I feel proud to have depicted him.
Q: Were you daunted by the prospect of playing such a revered individual?
A: As an actor, every time you get to play a big role you are plagued by the idea that this is the one where you're going to get 'found out'! But I think that being British really helped me: I've always understood the significance of Martin Luther King, but I did not exactly grow up with people who people who went on the march [who are more emotionally attached to MLK] – this helped me to find the man behind the figure.
Q: While filming, did you learn anything about Martin Luther King that surprised you?
A: The thing that surprised me most was the fact that he felt such guilt about the people who were harmed and killed for the cause – and by 'the cause' I mean the way the civil rights movement gained success, which was by showing the degree of violence black people were being subjected to. Campaigners made sure the cameras were rolling at the right time, to expose the discrimination.
Three people died during the three-month campaign, and that really plagued King.
Q: How did you go about preparing for the role? Did you carry out your own research?
A: I moved to LA in May 2007, and read the script for Selma that June. I just knew in my spirit that I was going to play this character.
It took seven years – the initial directors didn't see me as King – but having just felt such an affinity for him, the work started there.
The greatest asset was rare, unseen footage of King that I was allowed access to. So much of what you see is King in a press situation, or speaking publicly, where he is 'on display'. I was able to see other sides of him.
Q: We understand you had to change your appearance for the film – can you tell us about that?
A: Well Martin Luther King did not look like someone who spent time at the gym, so because I regularly work out I had to make some changes! I had to gain two-and-a-half stone, shave my hairline back, and study how he moved.
It was not at all fun – it was quite painful, actually! I was forcing myself to eat lasagne at 11pm to try to pile on the calories!
Q: How would you best describe the film? Is it primarily about the marches, or about King as a person?
A: There are three strands – the first is the struggle itself. In Selma, Alabama in 1961 only two per cent of eligible black voters were registered, despite the fact that more than 50 per cent of the population was black. The film focuses on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, also known as 'Bloody Sunday', and the two marches that followed, which led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The second strand is King himself – the film focuses on his wife, and the cost to his family of him being engaged in this campaign.
And the third is the civil rights movement – about how people with disparate views on how to fight the campaign came together, and by August 1965, just five months after the Selma to Montgomery marches, the Voting Rights Act was passed.
Q: How does this role compare to others you've taken on in the past?
A: Nothing really compares to this, because of how much playing King means to me. I have never had to fight so hard to get a film made, and to get a role right. And I have never been under the microscope so much. I'm a British person playing Martin Luther King – there's a very significant pressure.
But it does not phase me because I know I did everything I humanly could have done [to get it right]. This is a very big moment for me as a man, not just an actor.
Q: What do you hope the film will achieve? Will it change people's perspective of King?
A: It will give a glimpse of the man behind the iconography. It is a huge shame that someone who made such an incredible difference to the lives of people being oppressed has been reduced to a catchphrase, 'I have a dream'.
He was so much more than that speech – he was a strategist, a father, a son, a friend, and he was a flawed man. I believe the film shows that.
Selma will be released in UK cinemas on 6 February 2015.


Here is the list of CFast cards that have cleared our approval for the URSA Cameras.
Hi Tony, where did you find the "Wise" card to test it? I've searched everywhere online and can find only a couple of mentions on a Korean and Taiwan website, but nowhere to actually purchase.
Tony Hudson, I suspect these cards are like Lexar's CFast 2 cards, tested by BMD before they are released to retail. So the wait for an alternative to the Sandisk cards continues.
Thanks for the perspective, Rick.
It's funny, I've never bought a camera before for which media was simply unavailable! Luckily my immediate need has gone away, so I'll just join the wait.
Other companies have offered proprietary media and I think it's fair to say that increases cost. BMD has tried to go with industry standards or create their own solution within the framework of industry standards. They could contract to a foundry to build CFast 2 cards to their own specifications, but in a way that is happening in that some of the industry is adapting their products to ensure it is compatible with this new generation of digital film cameras, examples are currently Digistor, Lexar, and now Wise. It's going to make the price of media fall. The LEXAR 3400x 256GB card is the same price now as the Sandisk 120GB card earlier this year.
How about a list of approved cfast 1.0 cards that are good for 1080...80fps???
I'm currently using my shuttle2 to record externally because I haven't needed to shoot in 4k...so, I've been able to forgo paying the current ridiculously overpriced cfast2.0 cards. That being said, I would much rather be recording internally for the many obvious reasons.
I've read a few post regarding the atomos cards working fine, curious has anyone experimented with other brands???
Funny enough this is the only card currently available in the market and it doesn't work as it should.
Ricky Gil wrote: How about a list of approved cfast 1.0 cards that are good for 1080...80fps???
Atomos card not working properly!!!
On HD ProRes 422 25 fps I have drop frames and audio loses sync.
Sometimes takes 40-50 minutes with no problems, while sometimes it starts droping frames after one minute.
I have last firmware 2.0.
I don't imagine BM will approve any CFast 1.0 cards to be honest. From what I've read you can just about scrape by if you're shooting 1080p at low framerates under certain, specific conditions (i.e. right version of prores, right card formatting, etc), but it seems too patchy to be encouraged.
What about the Wise 64GB cards? Not on any of the lists. Anyone have experience with those wise cards? Also the list needs updating for raw 3:1 codec and 80fps compatible cards.
Using a 120GB SanDisk card shooting at 29.97 FPS HD, it suddenly crashed with about 60GB of data. The camera's firmware was version 2.0. I contacted SanDisk and the engineer a very helpful nice guy I may add, recommended to set the camera's firmware back to 1.9.10 when using the 120GB card.
The card has been returned to SanDisk for failure analysis. Fortunately, Sandisk will also try to recover the lost data. Needless to say, wonderful customer support by SanDisk.
Does anybody know if the newest Sandisk CFast 2.0 SDCFSP-128G-A46A has fixed the issue present in the previous batch? Thanks.
Has anybody experienced a crash WITH a card from the approved list when pushing the Ursa?
Two shoot days officially in the can with the new Sandisk 128GB with no problems Nothing fancy as far as sustained high frame rates but it's done it's job being filled up a few times.
Dan Michael Hodges wrote: Two shoot days officially in the can with the new Sandisk 128GB with no problems Nothing fancy as far as sustained high frame rates but it's done it's job being filled up a few times.
Mind telling me if you shot raw and the resolution?
Nothing fancy. 4k prores @24p. Still, I thought it was worth noting given the lack of information (and my obvious relief). Unfortunately, I won't be able to do any additional testing for atleast another week. Hopefully by then BM and others will have come to a conclusion.
Thanks! Anything and everything helps since these cards are pretty expensive and a decision on which to get is not to be taken lightly.
has the sandisk dying in camera issue been solved ?
Just wanted to leave some info about a card reader.
Do not use the Lexar CR1 USB 3.0 reader. We averaged a very unstable speed of 25mbs/sec. We looked up a lot of info on it. It seems others were having similar issues.
DavidDamen wrote: Just wanted to leave some info about a card reader.
The best and fastest reader would be direct sata interface in PC.... With somy DIY it would be possible.
I think Lexar realizes their CR1 product may not be up to snuff. They have a new product, CR2, that supports Thunderbolt2 and USB 3 "coming soon" according to B&H Photo. Costs more, but this could be the fastest reader available when it launches, and when it comes to workflow around these precious CFast 2 card, time is money.
Lexar also offers a HR2 hub (TB2/USB3) which has four slots for you to mix and match CR2s and DD512 flash storage units (store up to 512GB each, USB3). So your DIT could grab your CFast 2 cards, insert it into a CR2 (standalone or use a slot of the hub) and quickly offload via the HR2 hub to 2TB of portable storage for later transfer to your edit suite. I'm not a salesman, just I like these Lexar options.
Has anyone used these readers?
Easy to mount 2 of them to a 4U or 5U ingest station, each gets it's own USB 3.0 connection, so 5Gb/s per card. That Lexar hub looks interesting, but I'd rather see the CR2's rackmounted 4 wide in a 1U face. I know a lot of users will want a desktop dock, but for DIT racks, it's not ideal.
I'm a bit surprised that SATA3 docks for CFast aren't around. I figured they would be perfect matches.
Sean Simpson wrote: What about the Wise 64GB cards? Not on any of the lists. Anyone have experience with those wise cards? Also the list needs updating for raw 3:1 codec and 80fps compatible cards.
I have the same question about the Lexar 64GB cards. I know the 32GB ones have much lower write speed, but the 64GB cards are listed by Lexar as having the same write speeds as the 128GB and 256GB cards.
EDIT: The list has been updated, the 64GB cards are supported.
Is the list of approved CFast 2.0 cards also approved for URSA Mini 4.6k? Or will a new list be created for that?
Tristan Pemberton wrote: Is the list of approved CFast 2.0 cards also approved for URSA Mini 4.6k? Or will a new list be created for that?
If there is a different list put together for the 4.6k cameras, we will have it updated on the support page with a link to that list posted on the forums as well.
Just wanted to be certain before I buy one, has anyone used the Wise 256GB 2.0 Cfast cards and had any luck?
I received my C-Box system that allows me to use my SSD Drives with the C-Fast cards slots on the URSA Mini. The unit is extremely sturdy. I placed the SSD Drives in the unit and tried to shake them out, but the wouldn't bulge... I'm using two 1TB hard drives from digistor.
Are the Delkin CFast 2.0 cards qualified to work with the Ursa cameras?
Adorama is offering the 128GB on sale for $250.
eli Herman wrote: Are the Delkin CFast 2.0 cards qualified to work with the Ursa cameras?
Those are not on the list of approved CFast Cards we've currently tested.
This Lexar website information could be confusing for those of us who have purchased the Mini and poised to buy the fastest CFast cards if they have not acquired a formal BMD stamp of approval.
These cards are now available at B&H.
Although not quite the same as being on the BMD CFast 2 certified list, the Lexar compatibility list has proven accurate with regard to the new 3600x card. Someone on BMCuser acquired the card after having dropped frames on the 3400x card and the 3600x card performed flawlessly.

I just saw a review of the C-box system and it seems like a very good option for even the highest frame rates with the URSA and URSA mini. At one time you could buy it for $325 on the kickstarter campaign, but it's now $500 on the website. Has anyone used the C-box for an actual production and if so...please post your results. Yes...it's another thing to mount on your camera, but non drop frames and non compressed media transfer rates pretty high it seems like a very good option.

I've heard nothing but amazing results, recently ordered one. Waiting for it to arrive. Willing to share my thoughts when it comes - as well as a comparison to my wise cfast cards which I've had no problem with so far.
Does anyone know of a CFast card that will record 80fps RAW on the Ursa V1 sensor?
I can't seem to find that information anywhere.
I bought Sandisk cfast cards when they 'were' approved and have had them replaced twice already.. is there gonna be a solution ?

Thank god for the 3600x working flawlessly for that user. I assumed it was okay because I saw it was compatible on the Lexar site, but I had not seen it on the BMD forums. Hopefully thats the case!
Is there are list anywhere yet that explains what cards are needed to shoot UHD 60 frames in ProRes444? All the BMD support info and manuals say is "shooting up to 30 frames per second 4K raw". Looking at the data rates, it appears that UHD ProRes444 in 60 frames is more data. So which cfast card will support it?
Can anyone at BMD comment on the new Lexar 3600x CFast cards? Did they fail testing or have they not started/completed testing?
Yes ... it would be very helpful to know about the Lexar 3600x cards. The Lexar post indicate that it is approved. I would like to know for sure before I open up the two Lexar 3600x cards I ordered a while back. My 4.6k arrives tomorrow, and it would be nice to take it out for a spin. The Lexar 256GB 3400x have been discontinued. Some are available from China ...but.
On 4.6k EF I have been successfully recording to the 128gb 3600x cards using raw 3:1 and prores HQ. No issues to report yet.

Thanks for chiming in, Matt.
Sure. I can test various settings if that is helpful. Let me know.
The Lexar 3600x are being tested right now.
Matt White wrote: Sure. I can test various settings if that is helpful. Let me know.
I worry about spending all that cash on the x3600s to have them still drop frames.
With the pocket camera I laid out for the priciest legit Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards on BM's official supported list and was burned when they still dropped frames in ProResHQ for nearly the first full year of use until BM finally ironed out the issue in the camera firmware. I realize that was a different camera, but you never know until you test.
Kristian Lam wrote: The Lexar 3600x are being tested right now.
* [see below] RAW, 4.6k, 60fps = dropped frames. Kept recording on to the second card, and the first card was not corrupted.
I did more testing. In dual card mode, there are no dropped frames. I am not sure why I saw them initially. Hopefully further tests will determine.

The 3600x cost a high premium over the 3400x available on eBay, but it seems there's no difference in performance for Ursa Mini 4.6k so I might as well go with the 3400x.

Under The Northern Sky is the title of a popular Aboriginal news column written by First Nation writer, Xavier Kataquapit, who is originally from Attawapiskat Ontario on the James Bay coast. He has been writing the column since 1997 and it is is published regularly in newspapers across Canada. In addition to working as a First Nation columnist, his writing has been featured on various Canadian radio broadcast programs.
Kataquapit writes about his experiences as a First Nation Cree person. He has provided much insight into the James Bay Cree in regards to his people's culture and traditions. As a Cree writer, his stories tell of the people on the land in the area of Attawapiskat First Nation were he was born and raised. His stories provide images of the Canadian Indian and his people who once roamed the land freely. He writes about topics that are close to the heart of the Cree people such as the canada goose and the snow goose. These birds are an integral part of the James Bay Cree culture and spirituality. His stories touch on life in the past and today and relates to the Cree, Ojibway (Ojibwe) and Oji-Cree peoples of Northern Ontario.
Kataquapit's writing has served to open the lines of communication between First Nation and non native peoples in the Canadian north. His column, Under The Northern Sky, has also given his people a voice. In addition he has put a positive, strong and hopeful face on the people of the James Bay Coast. Non-Natives have benefited through the column by learning about the Cree Indian culture and Native culture in general in Northern Ontario and this has led to more understanding between the First Nations people and non-Native peoples.
"I did not realize the impact that my writing would have. Many people write, email or call me to thank me for telling the stories of the James Bay Cree. I feel very good about this journey and it has had a very positive affect on my own life," said Xavier.

Firefly Festival Day One: 20 July 2012 - Dover, DE

The first day of Firefly was a mixed bag at best.
Firefly Festival
City: Dover, DE
Venue: Dover Racetrack
On arrival, the outlook for the inaugural Firefly Festival in Dover, Delaware was not good. Rumors of a certain attraction's last minute cancellation along with heavy, low-hanging rain clouds combined to cast a pallor over the event. As expected, there was an element of disorder to the proceedings from a volunteer staff unprepared for the influx of the masses. However, as the old line runs: The show must go on.
And though it has, the most major detraction for Firefly so far has been a crisis of choice. With four stages spread across a dozen acres featuring continuous music from noon to midnight options must be weighed carefully, and well in advance. For instance, from the moment the gates opened one was confronted by possibility. Garage rock revivalists the Heartless Bastards shared the opening time slot with two wheel enthusiasts Blind Pilot. What to do? While the Heartless Bastard's brand of rock does well to get the blood moving, the weather may have dampened their performance. Erika Wennerstrom's stage presence has not much improved despite the groups near constant touring in support of their last release Arrow and their live performance does not outshine their recorded material. Blind Pilot presents the other side of the coin. Their audience draw wasn't as big as the Bastards, but the intimacy of their acoustic instrumentation met the intensity of their fan base to create an impressive performance.
There was little time for afterglow. On the Firefly main stage directly opposing Blind Pilot, nineties radio darlings The Wallflowers presented a passable performance of all their best loved material. Minor technical issues and a lackluster, perhaps tired Jacob Dylan entertained a somewhat restrained audience. With younger, more aggressive acts to follow, a breather during their hour-long set didn't go unappreciated.
What a shame if you did catch your breath, just to have it taken away by the massively talented and disparagingly sexy John Legend. Mediums like television and radio do not do this man justice, and in spite of his style and charm he's got chops to back it all up. Exchanging guitar for piano while covering Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder and the Beatles between his own hits one began to wonder why Mr. Legend didn't command a headlining position. Playing to a mostly rock crowd, John Legend did his best to add teeth to the set, amping up distortion and giving his flawless backup band extended leads and the space to experiment with style.
After getting the crowd all hot and bothered there was nothing left to do but dance, and what better soundtrack than Bassnectar? From a DJ booth that resembled a fortress and flanked on either side by massive, spire like screens illuminating the rain drenched though ecstatic crowd with a seizure inducing light show, Lorin Ashton head banged harder than any rocker. And it was hard to tell who enjoyed the show more, Mr. Ashton playing tracks in his words to "Appease the Rain Gods" or the audience who en masse danced and writhed as if possessed. Backlit by a wafting ominous cloud, amidst the barrage of glow sticks, the hula-hoop ravers, and the poor lost girl Molly everyone was desperately searching for, the day's obvious favorite was undoubtedly Bassnectar.
Thanks be to Bassnectar because a contact buzz was required for the night's headliner, Jack White. Mr. White cannot himself be faulted, as usual he played with a frenzy, cutting out dirty delta blues licks at break neck speeds and howling like a banshee freshly released from hell all while breaking down and recreating his tunes on the spot. As far as showmanship is concerned, few do more than Jack White, for musicianship he is already considered a legend, so it was quite shocking and fairly disappointing there were so many technical problems during his set. Opening with some White Stripes classics, White's vocals were all that could be heard. A total absence of drums made an awkward situation only worse, and then as if the engineers were trying to even themselves out, his vocals reduced to barely audible levels as bass drowned out crowd favorites Hotel Yorba and Icky Thump.
The first day of Firefly was a mixed bag at best. But it's important to keep in mind the birthing pains associated with such a large event. While being far from a success, we'll have to see if Firefly can find its legs for its second day.

Q: Is this application of Bayes' theorem correct? I want to use Bayes' theorem to calculate the probability that a totally hypothetical religion H is true considering the fact in light of two independent pieces of evidence. I'll make up values for the example, but let's say the prior probability of H being true $P(H) = 0.01$ (let's say one of 100 religions which includes H must be true).
For the first piece of evidence, a hidden skip code in H's ancient scriptures indicates that the ancients had supernatural access to knowledge of future events. If H really were true, we would expect about an 80% chance that some kind of code like that would exist. If H were not true though, there would only be a 10% chance that a code like that would randomly be present anyway. So I'll say $P(E1|H) = 0.8$ and $P(E1|H') = 0.1$.
For the second piece of evidence, archeologists discovered ruins which contradict with a claim in H's scriptures. If H were not true, we would expect a 50% chance of finding some such ruins. And there's only a 1% chance that the archeologists could be wrong or that it is theologically acceptable for this contradiction to exist. So I'll say $P(E2|H) = 0.01$ and $P(E2|H') = 0.5$.
So then I have an equation for Bayes' theorem considering these two separate observations like this:
$$P(H|E1, E2) = \frac{P(E1|H) * P(E2|H) * P(H)}{P(E1|H) * P(E2|H) * P(H) + P(E1|H') * P(E2|H') * P(H')} $$
$$P(H|E1, E2) = \frac{0.8 * 0.01 * 0.01}{0.8 * 0.01 * 0.01 + 0.1 * 0.5 * 0.99} $$
$$P(H|E1, E2) = 0.0016 $$
Is this math okay? Or is there a problem calculating it like this, and if so what would be the correct approach?

A: You've got the correct approach, you are applying Bayes theorem correctly for the numbers in your example.

A: I don't think the calculation itself is wrong, per-se. However, the prior you've chosen ($P(H) = 0.01$) is up for debate.
Regarding the claim of "supernatural access to knowledge of future events" via any sort of "skip code", you may be referring to Bible Codes. I would strongly recommend you make calculations for those numbers (and I do believe those calculations exist).

The cover artwork may show a Lara Croft after a long and hard drinking night, but the five musicians from Stuttgart sound anything but hung over on Souldrinker. They move adroitly between thrash metal, death metal and metalcore, managing despite the well known ingredients to concoct an exciting album. The most astonishing element is the band's background, with two members also playing with Mystic Prophecy and Symphorce, two classic power metal bands. At least the vocalist has a rawer past with his former band Inzest.
Watch Me Bleed's debut album starts quite muscular with the opener Rise, but also surprises with truly complex structures. The band sounds strongest whenever the thrash component prevails, as on the unpolished Bloodred Rain. Those more into modern sounds will prefer Sixsixseven that comes with upbeat mosh parts and an excellent rhythmic groove. Dead Sky Black Sun shows the band from an usual brutal, even hysterical side, but still has room for contrasting guitar harmonies. Watch Me Bleed walk an interesting and varied path through the harder regions of metal. No matter what direction they choose, the band always gets straight to the point. The songs are without an exception dynamic and compact, thus avoiding unnecessary lengths. The album ends with the fitting smasher The Bleeding Chalice, featuring Brainstorm's Andy B. on guest vocals.
Souldrinker is an album that's just great fun listening to. Without offering anything substantially new, Watch Me Bleed are still able to take you on a gripping journey through the heavier kinds of metal. It's obvious that the musicians have garnered already a lot of experience in previous bands, otherwise such a mature performance would have been unlikely. Only the band name is somewhat unlikely, giving the impression that we have to deal with another young upstart metalcore band.


Sasha's goal came at 4:52 of the second period, in a play where Semin, circling, wristed the puck past goaltender Jake Allen.
Looks like Semin is off to a good start with his new team. The Caps play the Canadiens for the first time on December 3. Let's hope they cool off by then.

Republican Parents Vote for Obamacare with Their Wallets
Over the last few weeks, Republicans have been waging a very determined--and even more deceptive--campaign to scare the bejesus out of uninsured young adults so important to the success of the Affordable Care Act. But while the conservative commentariat has been issuing dire warnings about the so-called "Young Invincibles," their parents have quietly added millions of them to their family insurance plans, all thanks to Obamacare. And as it turns out, Republican parents are signing up in greater numbers than Democrats.
That's the word from the Commonwealth Fund, which has just published a major analysis of the health insurance status and plans of young adults ages 18 to 35. Among the host of insurance reforms put in place by the Affordable Care Act is the requirement that parents be allowed to keep or add their adult children up to age 26 to their policies. As Sarah Kliff reported, in the three-plus years since President Obamas sign the ACA into law, millions have done just that:
The Commonwealth Foundation estimates that of the 15 million young adults that have insurance coverage through a parent, 7.8 million would not have qualified without this policy.
All told, 15 million young adults enrolled in or stayed on their parents' policies. That's why the percentage of uninsured among them has declined since the passage of the ACA. And despite all the right-wing demagoguery, it turns out that the biggest beneficiaries have been young Republicans:
While public opinion polls have consistently shown a partisan divide in views of the health reform law, the survey finds that young adults who identified themselves as Republicans enrolled in their parents' policies in greater numbers than young adults who identified themselves as Democrats. In March 2013, 63 percent of Republican young adults had enrolled in a parent's policy in the past 12 months, compared with 45 percent of Democrats.
The results aren't really that surprising. After all, GOP households generally are higher income and more likely to have a parent insured by their employer or through a self-purchased policy. So while these Republicans may be voting for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act on Election Day, they are voting for Obamacare with their wallets.

We're standing on a mountain ridge with the Swiss National Park behind us and the pristine wilderness of the Engadin all around. We take in the view of Tarasp Castle and the ruins of Steinsberg Castle in the immense hiking region in eastern Graubünden. The smell of mountain pine fills the air, dew nestles in the petals of Alpine roses and we can hear the local baker greeting his first customers of the day. The Postbus, Rhätische Bahn railway and the cable cars transport more hiking enthusiasts from the quaint Engadin villages in the valley below to the region's 300 hiking trails, to the Bogn Engiadina mineral bathhouse, or bring them closer to the numerous mountain chalets. Organised luggage transport, seamless signage and specialised hiking guides help us to enjoy this moment unencumbered, so we can concentrate on what's most important: the spectacular view of Lower Engadin. This is hiking at its very best.
Three to seven-day hiking tour. The Via Engiadina is a panoramic hiking trail through Lower Engadin, which is completed in five stages and includes a luggage transport service.
This hike through the national park starts in the S-charl valley and is particularly beautiful in autumn. On the way to the Mingèr rest area, hikers can often see animals on the craggy slopes of the Piz Pisoc.
Hike along several suspension bridges from the art nouveau spa house in Val Sinestra, through an area voted 'Landscape of the Year 2011' to the hamlet of Vnà. Along the way you can stop for refreshments.
Relatively easy hike to the summit of Piz Clünas (2,793 m) on the southern edge of the Silvretta mountain range. You can take a break at the Alp Laret tavern and also shorten the route.
The hike starts in S-charl and proceeds through the Val Tavrü valley, which was part of the Swiss National Park between 1911 and 1936. Mot Tavrü mountain offers views of Val Foraz and the red deer sometimes.
This challenging route to the elevated plateau of the Macun lake district is an Alpine hike to the newest part of the Swiss National Park. Shuttle bus from Zernez.
Established in 1914, the national park has three clear mandates: to protect, research and inform. The park is strictly protected from human influence, so that the environment can develop in its natural state. This approach has fostered an incredibly diverse range flora and fauna, particularly among very small organisms. You can experience this rich biodiversity on your own or as part of a guided hiking group, as you explore the 170 km² national park. The national park visitor centre in Zernez is also worth a visit, particularly as an alternative to hiking when the weather is poor. Check out the Swiss National Park website for information regarding the current exhibitions or enquire at the tourist information centre in Zernez. The national park is completely closed in winter for conservation reasons.

You may be cursing the harsh cold of winter, but roboticists at the University of Michigan are capitalizing on the cold temperatures. A team working on the development of Cassie the Robot took advantage of the recent cold snap to perform testing. Read how Cassie performed in this article from Wired.
Why do we call computer glitches "bugs"?
The term "bug" is another way of saying something is wrong with our computer or software, but where did the term come from? While many attribute the reference to computer scientist Grace Hopper, this article from Curiosity explains that it dates back to Thomas Edison's private journals.

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation
Researchers at MIT and the Max Planck Institute have developed a method for quick, on-site E. coli detection in food. While current food safety testing either requires days to complete or expensive equipment, this new method, paired with a smartphone and QR code, will make testing inexpensive and portable. The new detection process uses Janus emulsions, droplets consisting of two hemispheres of different densities. In water, the less dense, hydrocarbon hemisphere sits above the denser hemisphere
Collection Highlights: Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow 2
Intended to replace the Avro Canada CF-100, the CF-105 Arrow was a technical masterpiece at the forefront of aviation engineering during its time. The Canadian government believed, however, that the manned bomber threat was diminishing and that air defence could be better handled by unmanned BOMARC missiles. The contract was cancelled on February 20, 1959 while test flying was still in progress. By then five Arrows had flown. The government ordered all completed Arrows, related documentation

We are Yolŋu people, from Bawaka in North East Arnhem Land, which is more than 600 kilometres east of Darwin and is down the coast from where the Prime Minister is camping this week.
Bawaka is our homeland, our Country. Country means the land, but it means so much more too.
Zoom out on the map to see where Bawaka is in northern Australia.
For the past eight years, our research group of five Yolŋu (sometimes written as Yolngu) women and three non-Indigenous academics have been working together sharing the Yolŋu women's knowledge, especially through the women's tourism business and the book we wrote together, Welcome to My Country.
We want visitors to learn from us, so that Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can grow together. We are for unity and for peace.
We are for learning both ways. We are for a future where we all learn from each other.
So we invite you now to come with us to Bawaka, to learn a little about what lies beneath the beauty of Bawaka. We invite you, and the Prime Minister, to take off your shoes and walk with us, to feel your feet in the sand and begin to learn.
When ngapaki come to Bawaka, we ask Bawaka Country to welcome you. Bawaka is alive, it talks to us and cares for us.
We welcome you so that the land and the sea, the tides, the currents, the plants, the animals, the winds, the rocks, the songs and the dreams recognise you.
And we are Bawaka Country too, Yolŋu people, our ancestors and our unborn children, with our Yolŋu languages (dhäruk), our Yolŋu knowledge and our Yolŋu Law (Rom). People are Country too.
Country will welcome you as long as you respect it, as long as you behave well and care for the land and the nature, care for each other as family, as kin.
Country is everything in balance, everything connected as kin. Country nourishes us, and we nourish Country. We can't be separated from it.
Everything at Bawaka has and tells a story. Everything communicates, through its own language and its own Law.
At Bawaka, it is now the season of Rarranhdharr.
It is a hot, dry season, the time of year when your feet burn when you walk on the sand. The fruits are ripening and the warrkarr, the white lily, is in flower. The warrkarr tells us that it is the right time to hunt stingray. It is a bountiful season. Everything is ripening and getting fat.
If we listen to the warrkarr, we know it is time to hunt. Country is communicating with us. We are connected, the fruits, the stingray, our hot feet and the warrkarr.
All these things have their knowledge and their Law. They must be respected.
Everything at Bawaka tells a story, and everything communicates, but we must know how to listen.
Remember, Country can't be pulled apart and people can't be separated from Country.
We live on Country, we won't be treated as if we have no strength, no knowledge, no Law, no language.
Country makes us strong. Country cares, Country nourishes, Country is who we are. We are Yolŋu.

Liverpool ChiroChem (LCC) and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool sponsored the latest meeting of the CheM62 Research Network, held at Liverpool University on 18 July.
The CheM62 Research network comprises a distinctive group of scientists from 'Northern Powerhouse' universities, with skills and expertise in chemical synthesis, catalysis, biocatalysis and chemical processing, working collaboratively with scientists from industrial laboratories. Talented research students Robert Nixon, from the University of Manchester, and Claudia Gatti from the University of Liverpool, were awarded prizes for best presentation and best flash poster at the meeting and Paul Colbon, CEO of LCC, who generously sponsored the prizes, presented them.
This marked a milestone in the development of the Network, as Liverpool ChiroChem is a company founded by two former research students, Jianjun Wu and Paul Colbon, who were trained in the early days of cross company networking that led to the current CheM62 Network. Research students and early career researchers gain an enhanced level of training through the experience of working in an environment where ideas, results and knowledge are shared freely. Six monthly Network Meetings provide opportunities for them to present their results and get feedback to help them develop their capabilities and career plans.
The July meeting was attended by 60 researchers from Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Huddersfield universities and from companies both large and small: AstraZeneca, Syngenta, Yprotech, LCC, Unilever, RedAg and Cadence Pharma. The morning session was a workshop on catalysis in industry with 4 expert contributors comparing the challenges of employing catalysis in the pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and consumer products industries. Then it was the turn of the research students to present their work, firstly through flash poster presentations, followed by six short oral presentations in the afternoon session. The meeting culminated with a lively panel discussion focused on providing students with advice on how to develop a post PhD career.
