![]() ![]() It's also interesting about this project that the developer put an "Easter egg" that would let the user play only the sentences with a certain word in it, adding the query in the URL ?k=economy&t=1000. It uses JPlayer, it's not responsive, and it uses popcorn js to make the hypertranscript connection with the video. Some of the constraints in this implementation are due to the technology that was available at the time it was implemented. I looked into the code from this open source project by Mark Boas both at The Times Build the news hackaton and at BBC news hackaton. You can see the code open source on github What I like about this project is that it gives a way into the video, allowing to search the text, and provide some basic infographic, through a pie chart, on the search terms, you can see how many time the respective candidates have mentioned a certain word. In the Aljazeera Obama - Romney debate the word accurate hypertranscript was done manually. Editorial Projects Aljazeera Debate Obama - Romney I will start with the editorial project as we will see, in this context they often are a starting point for developing tools. While editorial are those projects that are more about the content and the delivery of information. Tools are those projects that allow the user to make something, such as provided a video and returning transcriptions. These are going to be divided into tools, and editorial. I am now going to consider similar solutions and different approaches to working with video transcriptions on the web. As the viewer is being delivered information both through auditory and reading and writing. And in fact in the final web application the process of adding the corresponding video segment to a text quote, is taking into account the variety of learning styles. But also, more crucially, that the same information can be delivered in different ways to meet the different learning styles.Īpplying this consideration to the publishing of news article, forces us to re-consider the publishing of text based articles and the use of multimedia to engage a wider audience taking into account the variety of learning styles.Īs a practical example, in the making of quickQuote this consideration guided a lot of the assumptions to test through the investigation of the problem. The core concept is that each individual as one (or more) preferred learning style. Five main learning styles are identified, visual, auditory, reading and writing, kinaesthetic and multi-modal. Simply put, different people learn in different ways. ![]() ![]() The other consideration that guides most of the projects I work on comes from VARK, idea of the variety of learning styles. This consideration of building a system rather then a one of editorial piece is the initial inspiration behind most of the projects I've been working on, which you can read more about here: autoEdit, Interactive databate #buildTheNews, OneStory at BBC #newsHack, quickQuote - Times & Sunday Times.Īt the end of this post, I'll give a summary of each one of these in relation to the other projects described below. The best example is a dialect quiz by the NY Times, that was widely popular, and BuzzFeed, inspired by the format made a "Quizz builder"Īnd after the first release, published 20 variations with minimal effort. The NY Times competitors such as BuzzFeed, were instead able to separate form from content.

The biggest issue highlighted in the report was that flagship projects such as snow falls To best understand the challenges in developing software in a news environment, I referred to the leaked New York Times Innovation report. Often times this is done with the use of time-coded transcriptions. I am mostly interested in projects were we go beyond "videos as black boxes" on the web, and get a programmatic access into the video. The porpuse of this blog post is to keep an up to date list of projects that are doing interesting things to do with video on the web. The resulting application was quickQuote, a tool to easily identify and share video quotes, you can read more about it here.

By going the copycat killer route the film is able to acknowledge and be connected to the original storyline in order to ensure there's a sense of continuity for longtime fans, while cleverly giving itself the freedom to do its own standalone thing and put some unique spins on familiar elements in the process to potentially bring in some new ones. Rather, it's the next chapter in the Saw universe. Something I think it succeeds at marvelously.

Except for some minor benchmarking at the end, once we get to a shell prompt, we’ll consider the job completed.Īs a departure from my microcontroller review, this time I’m focusing heavily on hardware design: unlike the microcontrollers I reviewed, these chips vary considerably in PCB design difficulty - a discussion I would be in error to omit. ![]() Getting a part booted is an entirely different ordeal altogether - that’s what we’ll be focused on. Your I2C drivers, your GPIO calls - even your V4L-based image processing code - will all work seamlessly.Īt least, that’s the sales pitch. That makes chips running embedded Linux almost a commodity product: as long as your processor checks off the right boxes, your application code won’t know if it’s running on an ST or a Microchip part - even if one of those is a brand-new dual-core Cortex-A7 and the other is an old ARM9. If my mantra for the microcontroller article was that you should pick the right part for the job and not be afraid to learn new software ecosystems, my argument for this post is even simpler: once you’re booted into Linux on basically any of these parts, they become identical development environments. Just like my microcontroller article, the parts I picked range from the well-worn horses that have pulled along products for the better part of this decade, to fresh-faced ICs with intriguing capabilities that you can keep up your sleeve. This article is targeted at embedded engineers who are familiar with microcontrollers but not with microprocessors or Linux, so I wanted to put together something with a quick primer on why you’d want to run embedded Linux, a broad overview of what’s involved in designing around application processors, and then a dive into some specific parts you should check out - and others you should avoid - for entry-level embedded Linux systems.

And it's about time - the spacesuits US astronauts wear haven't been upgraded since the Space Shuttle Program was active. The reimagined suit allows for more range of motion and includes extra-insulated boots and other innovations that should make it easier to explore the lunar surface. The Artemis III crew will aim to land at the unexplored lunar south pole, home to frigid, permanently shadowed regions where ice has remained frozen for billions of years. This week, NASA and Axiom Space unveiled the new spacesuit that will be worn by the first woman and the first person of color to walk on the moon. The selection process remains secretive, but the astronaut pool is much more diverse than it was decades ago.Īs alluded to in Tom Wolfe's 1979 book about the space race, each crew member must embody "the right stuff" - demonstrating the traits of a good teammate and effective communicator who expects the unexpected.Īnd when the Artemis III astronauts take things a step further by landing on the moon possibly as soon as 2025, they will need something else: the right suit. The three Americans and one Canadian, to be revealed April 3 by NASA, will fly farther than any humans traveled during the Apollo missions. The public will soon learn the names of the four astronauts who will venture on a journey around the moon next year aboard the Artemis II rocket. If you're interested in attending the auction, it will be held April 13 at Bonhams New York gallery.(CNN) - After more than 50 years of quiet, the moon is about to become a destination for space travelers again. It's valued at $80,000 to $120,000.īonhams will also be selling a map of the moon signed by 15 Apollo astronauts, including Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. One item is a fragment of Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite the Soviet Union launched into the Earth's orbit in 1957. If you don't have $1 million lying around, the auction house will be selling other space memorabilia - albeit still expensive. Officials at NASA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The auction company independently tested the material to confirm it indeed came from the moon, Stackhouse said.īonhams is selling the piece of space history on Carlson's behalf, but she didn't share with Stackhouse why she was interested in offering it for auction.

This particular Apollo 11 relic created some bad blood between its owner and NASA.Īrmstrong brought the bag of lunar dust back to Earth, but NASA lost the bag after a loan-out to a museum. The auction is not until mid-April, but people are already expressing interest, according to Stackhouse. "I think this estimate gives it a sense of importance," he said, "but it's really difficult to say where it will sell." ![]() To determine the price range, Stackhouse looked at the other few lunar dust samples that have been sold as well as the significance of the historic event from which it originated. It's the only known lunar dust sample from Apollo 11 that can legally be sold, making it difficult for the auction house to estimate its value, according to Bonhams specialist Adam Stackhouse. Particles of lunar dust collected by Neil Armstrong in 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission are up for auction this month.īonhams, the auction company in charge of the sale, estimated the sample to be worth between US$800,000 and $1.2 million. Most people want to get rid of dirt, but this special sample of lunar dust is out of this world. ![]() ![]() ![]() That said, issues arise when you take into account very complex assemblies. Most systems these days can handle this part, creating the mix of both handed components and instances where needed. For instance, in many cases, you’ll need a mix of true mirrored parts, which are a reflection of the original across a plane, creating ‘handed’ components, and then parts that are simply copied across and assembled into the sub-system. Select the parts, select the mirror plane, done. Mirroring assemblies is a complex task that’s hidden behind a seemingly simple operation. An excellent example is the changes to the assembly mirroring tools. These typically extend the tools to make them either more efficient (by consolidating distinct workflows) or make those operations do more, more intelligently. In terms of functionality updates, there are a ton of new enhancements to features and functions that have been in the system for quite some time. Part mirroring is an area where PTC Creo 4.0 has upgraded in the functionality department That said, if you need to, you can flick your mouse to the side at the top of the screen, and they’ll pop up long enough for you to find the operation you want, then disappear again. With the updates to context sensitive toolbars, you can work in this without reference to the full ribbons and toolbars. This pulls back the various toolbars and ribbons around the system and lets you focus on the modelling task at hand. ![]() For instance, for those looking to bring new staff onboard who may have more experience elsewhere, these updates will help that process greatly.Īnother interesting move that supports this is the ability to switch to a full screen mode. What PTC has realised is that it needed to upgrade Creo to meet these expectations. These systems are now used by students who use them to learn their modelling practices. In its early days, Pro/E led the pack before other systems over took it in terms of adoption. Rather than carrying out a separate operation to add relationships or constraints, such items can now be quickly picked up at the cursor and added to the model, whether that’s end points, mid-points or centre points.įor those that are more experienced in other systems, this will seem a little late in the day - which is entirely the point. This is most prevalent when building those all important feature sketches. Each will provide a context sensitive toolbar (that can be customised to your requirements), so your reference to the toolbars will reduce and keep you focussed on the model.Īt the same time, PTC has also introduced on-the-fly constraint selection and inference. The same is true of faces, parts and such. If you select an edge, a mini toolbar is immediately available providing options that apply to that edge such as fillet (round) or chamfer. Now, when you select a geometric entity, the system highlights the appropriate entry in the history listing and vice versa.Īlongside this, the development team has worked on making the whole process more interactive and context sensitive. The Creo 4.0 release addresses some of this by introducing greater links between the model viewing and manipulation window and the feature history navigator, which weren’t particularly well connected up until now. Yes, the user interface moved to a tab/ribbon-like appearance, but the fundamental controls didn’t alter that much or, indeed, get updated that often. ![]() While Creo went through something of a change during its transition from Pro/E to Pro/E Wildfire in 2003, the truth of the matter is that the system, at its core, didn’t change that much in terms of how you interact with it in general. Perhaps the biggest update to Creo’s user experience can be found within the interface. As ever, there’s a wide range of updates and enhancements across all areas of Creo but, for the sake of this review, we’ll look at a few of the most widely applicable to all users and then delve into some of the more specialist updates that are of interest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please mail them early enough to ensure that we receive them no later than the due date to avoid any late charges.
