![]() ETOPS(Extended-range Twin-engine Operation Performance Standards) is a standard that certifies that a twin-engine aircraft can operate a given distance from alternative airfields. The A330 was the first aircraft to receive ETOPS-240 certification. The aircraft was to replace the A300-600F. The A330-200F freighter version of the Airbus A330 200 made its maiden flight and began a 180-hour certification program. The maiden flight of the Airbus A330 200 started a 16 month, 630-hour certification process. ![]() This shorter, longer-range aircraft was a response to the falling sales of the 300 version and aimed at competing with the Boeing 767-300ER. The Airbus Industrie Supervisory Board approve the development of the A330-200. Malaysia Airlines received their first A330. It was put into service on the Bangkok to Taipei and Seoul routes.Ĭathay Pacific received their A330 powered by the newly certificated Trent 700s. Thai Airways were the second carrier to receive their A330 following a delay caused by a problem with delamination of composite materials in the PW4168 engines reverse thrusters. Airbus was required to amend the operating procedures.ĭomestic French carrier, Air Inter, became the first operator of the A330 using it on the Paris (Orly) to Marseille route. The investigation found that the cause was "slow response and incorrect actions by the crew during the recovery". The A330 received both the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) and the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) certificates after completing 1,114 hours of testing over 426 flights.ĭisaster struck when an A330 on a test flight crashed soon after takeoff while certifying a Pratt and Whitney engine. ![]() At 181,840 kg (401,000 lb) which included 20,980 kg (46,300 lb) of test equipment, the A330 was the largest twinjet aircraft ever to have flown. Height speed and other flight profiles were tested. The A330 had its maiden flight of 5 hours and 15 minutes. The first finished A330 was rolled out of the hangar. Northwest Airlines deferred its order of now 16 aircraft until 1994. The first A330 is rolled out decked in only anti-corrosion paint and minus its General Electric engines. This was the 10th A340/A330 air-frame on the line. The first A330 wings were mated to the fuselage. Northwest Airlines signed for 10 A330 aircraft.Īirbus launches the A330 program with 130 aircraft on its order books from 10 customers.Ĭathay Pacific signs for 9 aircraft, later increasing this to 11. Thai Airways ordered four A330s with options for a further 4.Īirbus indicated that both A330 and A340 aircraft would be formally launched in April and that A340 deliveries would start in May 1992 with A330 deliveries starting in 1993. Domestic French airline Air Inter ordered 5 aircraft with options for further 15. ![]() The first orders for the A330 were received. 71,100 lbf (316 kN)Īfter an Airbus Industrie board meeting in Munich, a statement was released: Airbus Industrie is now in a position to finalise the detailed technical definition of the TA9, which is now officially designated the A330, and the TA11, now called the A340, with potential launch customer airlines, and to discuss with them the terms and conditions for launch commitments".Īirbus sent out proposals to the most likely airline launch customers for the A330, these included Lufthansa and Swissair In place of the typical Airbus wing fences at the wing tips, the A330 sports winglets that add to her grace.ġ39,090 L(36,740 US Gal, 111,272Kg, 245,313 lb) The Airbus A330 is one of the more graceful airliners, with its generous wingspan which almost equals that of the Boeing 747, but with a lesser area. The Airbus A330, on the other hand, has enjoyed great success and has been further developed with the NEO (New Engine Option) version. The demand for the A340 died out and this model ceased production. However, in some regions, the adage of four engines for over water was still relevant and the A340 filled that space neatly. This was a time when moves were being made toward large twin-engine jets taking over long-haul routes that were traditionally the domain of large four-engine jets such as the Boeing 747. The two models share many parts in common such as the fuselage. Having been launched in 1993, the A330 was designed and built alongside the four-engine A340. The Airbus A330 is a twin jet passenger transport that is designed for the medium to long-haul market as well as high density for short-haul. This channel only ever had one known upload, which was a remix of The Angry Grandpa Show, being a predecessor to the later remixes he would do of other Call of Duty channels of the time, such as WhiteBoy7thst and ELPRESADOR, as well as his later musical career. Vanoss initially had a channel named EmixProductions, created in July 2011. He is also known for putting others on the map and being extremely selfless, even with the wacky videos that he produces. He is now the most subscribed independent YouTuber from Canada, and the fifth most subscribed channel overall from the country. Vanoss also experienced one span as the most subscribed Canadian channel on YouTube from January 2015 to September 2015, before being surpassed by JustinBieberVEVO. From January 2015 to January 2016, he was the second most subscribed gaming channel behind PewDiePie, but since dropped to eighth behind him, elrubiusOMG, Fernanfloo, JuegaGerman, VEGETTA777, Markiplier, and jacksepticeye. In that year, he would occasionally gain more subscribers than any other YouTube channel. He reached his peak in 2014, when he gained 6.6 million subscribers in that year alone, at one point gaining a million subscribers a month, more than any other channel except PewDiePie. His owl head is the mask of his in-game character models for many of the games he plays, including Garry's Mod and Grand Theft Auto V. The first time Vanoss showed his face was for his one million subscriber special in 2013, with the second being in 2014, when he took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (in which he poured a mixture of iced tea, Smirnoff ice, ice cream, dentyne ice, ice age the movie, travelers map of Iceland, a Tim Hortons ice cappuccino, ice age 2, Marvel ice man figure, iso protein powder, ice age 3, ice hockey puck, vanilla ice greatest hits, ice age 4, a bucket of "ice cubes", ice, and finally, water). Vanoss' channel logo consists of an owl head he usually does not show his face, unless it is for an important occasion. Vanoss is also a professional musician who goes by the name of Rynx. Occasionally, Vanoss also uploads an animation based on an original sketch or a previously uploaded gaming video. Vanoss has often been compared to fellow gaming YouTuber PewDiePie, who also has the most subscribed non-company channel on the site, as they both have a similar style of gaming. Vanossgaming Compilation - Vanoss and Friends Iconic Quotes Evan Fong (born: ( ) ), better known online as VanossGaming or just Vanoss, is a Canadian YouTuber and video game commentator from Toronto, Ontario. The expected prevalence in the absence group is the proportion of cases with an absence, of the property that you are looking for an association with, that have the outcome of interest. The higher the confidence level the more certain you can be that the interval contains the true odds ratio. If the study was repeated and the range calculated each time, you would expect the true value to lie within these ranges on 95% of occasions. ![]() The confidence level is the probability that the margin of error (dictated by the relative precision) contains the true odds ratio. Note that the actual precision achieved after you collect your data will be more or less than this target amount, because it will be based on the odds ratio and prevalence observed in the data and not the expected values supplied to the calculator. It is the range in which the true population odds ratio is estimated to be. The relative precision dictates your margin of error, i.e., how precise your estimate is. ![]() The relative precision is the percentage by which the lower limit for your confidence interval is less than the estimated odds ratio. However, the relationship is not linear, e.g., doubling the sample size does not halve the confidence interval.įor some further information, see our blog post on The Importance and Effect of Sample Size. The larger the sample size, the more certain you can be that the estimates reflect the population, so the narrower the confidence interval. By watching what happens to the alternative scenarios you can see how each input is related to the sample size and what would happen if you didn’t use the recommended sample size. Try changing the five inputs (the relative precision, confidence level, absence case prevalence, expected odds ratio and presence to absence ratio) to see how they affect the sample size. The above sample size calculator provides you with the recommended number of samples required to estimate the true odds ratio with the required relative precision and confidence level. ![]() N a = * Īnd Z α/2 is the critical value of the Normal distribution at α/2 (e.g., for a confidence level of 95%, α is 0.05 and the critical value is 1.96), RP is the relative precision (the percentage by which the lower limit for your confidence interval is less than the estimated odds ratio), ρ p is the prevalance of the outcome in the presence group, ρ a is the prevalence of the outcome in the absence group, and k is the ratio of presences to absences being sampled (n p/n a). This calculator uses the following formula for the sample size, n a, for the absence group: ![]() Increasing the relative precision to 90%, reduces the sample size to 14 in each group, whilst decreasing the prevalance for customers over 25 to 1% increases the sample size to 637 per group. If we would like to estimate the odds ratio with 95% confidence and a relative precision of 50%, how many samples are required? Assuming that we plan to sample a similar proportion of customers who are older and younger than 25, that the prevalence of claiming for those over 25 is 5%, and that the odds ratio is expected to be 10, then 144 customers over 25 and 144 customers under 25 would be sufficient. A study aims to explore the relationship between customers who are either older or younger than 25 and whether they have made a claim on their car insurance, in order to determine whether age is associated with the propensity to claim. This does change depending on location and Internet access. The connection is a little slower, but I’ve seen about a 1.5-2 second delay from initial tests. You may need Administrative IT to do that. There is one big difference: you must first open Port 1935 (or similar) on your Firewall. Very similar to connecting across your WAN. The video will be sent via Intranet (as long as both the ATEM Mini Pro and Streaming Bridge are on the same network) to a location that can also either record, stream, or play on a monitor.Īdded security with a stream key, but anyone with the XML file can connect to the ATEM Mini Pro. ![]() This is great for larger buildings, and campuses. ![]() This is perfect for a studio to either record or stream video, or send video to a lobby to know when a person is on-air. Configure the Bridge, and set up in the Mini Pro. Plug the cable from ATEM mini Pro to Streaming Bridge. This setup only requires an Ethernet cable (no cross-over cable needed). You can also send signal in streaming, or Hyperdeck data rates (around 50 Mbps). You will have to connect the Bridge up, then use the ATEM Setup to create an XML file that will import into the ATEM Mini Pro. USB-C is included, but the connection is to configure the device. Two ways to genlock the video with Ref-in options. Video can then be sent to a monitor, computer for streaming, or recording device via HDMI or SDI. The Streaming Bridge will connect in via Ethernet cable (no WiFi). The end result as a 1080p video to the source location for streaming or recording. This will not control the source camera or switcher (at least, not yet). !(upload://b1aJdYwg9kuZbOjLUOHdGrJdR7m.This is a device that will connect your ATEM Mini Pro or ATEM Mini Pro ISO to a remote location. You will need to edit the aliases to the controller and application ports you are using. I’ve attached a diagram of the proper setup to do this as well as an example project file. Please be sure to annotate which fader you are moving and the resultant fader movement in ATEM within the log capture so that we can adjust appropriately. Then you can turn on logging and we can have a look. What you need to do for me to be able to help is set up Bome MIDI Translator with your MIDI controller as input and the ATEM application as output (IE Bome MIDI Translator 1) and visa versa with the routing as shown below. ![]() I’m not that familiar with ATEM capabilities but if you can monitor the MIDI messages that are being sent with your controller that moves your faders (using the logging capability of Bome MIDI Tranlsator) then we can certainly translate these messages the way you want them. I believe the ATEM OSC bridge only works on Mac. There is software you can get for your ATEM to accept OSC messages and then you can use OSCulator to translator MIDI to the OSC message of your choice (whatever the ATEM OSC bridge accepts). Now, if the ATEM does not allow for direct MIDI control of the faders,Īnd you are running OSCulator. If the ATEM allows for direct MIDI input, and the sliders are already defined MIDI messages, then yes.įor instance if ATEM allows for Mackie MCU MIDI control of the faders, then we can use Bome MIDI Translator to translate the fader 5 mackie MCU message to the fader 1 MCU message and so forth. When tics are displayed on second axes but no plot has been specified for those axes, x2range and y2range are inherited from xrange and yrange. autoscale in parametric mode, then, controls all ranges (t, u, v, x, y, and z) and allows x, y, and z to be fully autoscaled. In parametric mode, the independent or dummy variable is t for plots and u,v for splots. However, there are more dependent variables and hence more control over x, y, and z axis scales. The behavior of autoscaling remains consistent in parametric mode, (see set parametric). Please see set xrange for additional information about ranges. In other words, in the absence of a data file, functions alone do not affect the x range (or the y range if plotting z = f(x,y)). ![]() If there are no data files, autoscaling an independent variable has no effect. If autoscaling of the dependent axis (y or z) is not set, the current y or z range is used.Īutoscaling the independent variables (x for plot and x,y for splot) is a request to set the domain to match any data file being plotted. When autoscaling, the axis range is automatically computed and the dependent axis (y for a plot and z for splot) is scaled to include the range of the function or data being plotted. If no keyword is given, all axes are autoscaled. A keyword with min or max appended (this cannot be done with xy) tells gnuplot to autoscale just the minimum or maximum of that axis. Where is either x, y, z, cb, x2, y2 or xy. However, the output arguments of inverse hyperbolic functions of complex arguments are affected if these functions are used, set angles radians must be in effect to maintain consistency between input and output arguments. It has no effect on the arguments of hyperbolic functions or Bessel functions. Set angles also affects the arguments of the machine-defined functions sin(x), cos(x) and tan(x), and the outputs of asin(x), acos(x), atan(x), atan2(x), and arg(x). The angle specified in set grid polar is also read and displayed in the units specified by set angles. The angle setting also applies to 3D mapping as set via the set mapping command. ![]() This is particularly useful for plots of data files. If set angles degrees is specified before set polar, then the default range is and the independent variable has units of degrees. Anglesīy default, gnuplot assumes the independent variable in polar graphs is in units of radians. The set and unset commands may optionally contain an iteration clause. See also the reset command, which returns all settable parameters to default values. Options changed using set can be returned to the default state by giving the corresponding unset command. The show command shows their settings show all shows all the settings. No screen is drawn, however, until a plot, splot, or replot command is given. The set command can be used to set _lots_ of options. ![]() “If there is a series of five-minute shorts that is really out there, really fun animation, we would figure out a way to get it on the air.” “In the world of genre animation, we want to open it up to experimental indie projects,” regardless of the length. “We look at this as a late-night playground for us,” McCumber said. SyfyĪs it prepares to launch Alien News Desk, its second original animated series ever, Syfy is already in development on others. While topical, the bulk of the show will have evergreen material so episodes could be rerun months later and not feel out of date. While it won’t air the same week, it will be fast enough for the program to feel current referencing ongoing and recent events. To accomplish that, Alien News Desk will have a relatively quick turnaround in the vein of South Park. People do it way better than SyFy can but what we can do is bring a point of view that’s completely different, completely unique and something that’s not there in the marketplace right now.” ![]() “Politics, current events are covered ad nauseam. “We loved it because it was a way for us to do topical animation and doing a take on what’s happening in real life from an alien point of view, which we think is a really fun way to do it,” McCumber said. Heather Olander, SVP, Alternative Development & Production for USA & Syfy, tracked down Alien News Desk, which at one point had been in development at MTV, and brought it to Syfy where topicality is already part of the brand via Syfy Wire, which has grown into the #2 genre site. “I think this is a real opportunity for Syfy to open up a new area of business for us, which is late-night original animation,” said Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, who oversees USA Network and Syfy. That encouraged Syfy brass to use Futurama as a platform for launching a foray into original adult animation series. The reruns have been a success, boosting Syfy’s late-night ratings by 13% in the adults 18-34 demographic and bringing new audiences, with 69% of its viewers new to the network (3Q18). The network pursued aggressively the rights to Matt Groening’s futuristic comedy when they became available. Alien News Desk is slated to air at 11 PM as a companion to Syfy’s acquired animated series Futurama. ![]() Yet in their new book, Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation Of A World War II Fighter Pilot, Bruce and his wife, Andrea, lay out some compelling evidence.

In a desperate attempt to find an answer to his son's troubled nights, he embarked on an obsessive three-year research project, armed only with the outbursts and names his son had been shouting in his disturbed sleep. James Leininger's father, Bruce, was flummoxed. He also talked in his dreams of 'Jack Larsen', 'Natoma' and 'Corsair'. In a secret protocol of this pact, the Germans and the Soviets agreed that Poland should be divided between them, with the western third of the country going to Germany and the eastern two-thirds being taken over by the U.S.S.R.Vivid recollections: James Leininger, pictured aged four had nightmares about being a WWII pilot who died after his plane crashed into the oceanįor his shocked parents, these nightly scenes were traumatic.Īs the nightmares became more terrifying, the child started screaming the name of the 'little man' who couldn't get out of the plane. Secret negotiations led on August 23–24 to the signing of the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact in Moscow. Hitler intended to invade Poland anyway, but first he had to neutralize the possibility that the Soviet Union would resist the invasion of its western neighbour. Poland, for its part, had guarantees of French and British military support should it be attacked by Germany. (Read Sir John Keegan’s Britannica entry on the Normandy Invasion.) Axis initiative and Allied reaction The outbreak of warīy the early part of 1939 the German dictator Adolf Hitler had become determined to invade and occupy Poland.

The news comes just weeks after another password manager vendor, LastPass, revealed that hackers managed to access backups of password vault data including usernames and passwords. However, an even more serious prospect is if those same bad actors managed to access password vaults containing logins to multiple other websites and accounts across the web. The notice warned recipients that if their accounts had been accessed, the threat actors may have been able to view account holders’ first and last name, phone number and mailing address. This would indicate a credential stuffing attack, in which hackers use automated software to try breached logins across multiple sites simultaneously in the hope that they have been reused.
