An Giang info: Youtube daily report Aug 4 2017

Hello, Hello welcome in the new episode from Need For Speed:San Andreas, MTA

And today, my guest is

Bulson: The biggest cancer of Server

Skadryl: Ye

Skadryl: Hey

Skadryl: So, what are we going to do on today's episode?

Skadryl: Speak

Bulson: Well, I don't know ...

*Bulson: What we can.."*Skadryl: We are going to have fun with police

Skadryl: Can you get third heat? *Bulson:[something incomprehensible]*

Skadryl: Can you, or not?

Bulson: No Skadryl: No?, I can... (Badass AF)

Skadryl: So, Let's have fun? Bulson: Where are you?

Skadryl: Em, Police is here

Skadryl: Come here, We will chase with police

Bulson: Ye, I know but wait

Skadryl: Wait, F4 (press) because it's screaming

Skadryl: So, I took Patriot because it's very good aginst those SUVs

Bulson: OK, They...They

Skadryl: I wanted to show you, in this episode, New, today discovered by myself way for escape police

Skadryl: But I think it's probalby known by most people

Skadryl: But I have to tell you, It's nice

Skadryl: So first of all... Oh, police support

Skadryl: Well, There are four PCs only, on first heat

Skadryl: It's not too difficult

Skadryl: It's easy to escape

Skadryl: Well... Partiot RAMs good

Bulson: *Hard to recognize, what he said"*

Skadryl: I see now, Patriot has not enough power

Skadryl: And It's impossible to destroy PC by first try

Skadryl: I will destroy this

Skadryl: Done

Skadryl: But...But I forgot that..

Skadryl: Damn! no police here... on the radar

Skadryl: BIMBER!, someone called himself BIMBER. srlsy?! *Bimber means hooch in polish*

Skadryl: There is nothing like call us hooch...

Bulson: I would name myself "Brungosta"(?)

Skadryl: OK, Next try with police

Skadryl: It's too easy... too easy

Skadryl: I must get second heat...

Bulson: Is the fan audible? Skadryl: No it isn't, I turned it off for recording

Bulson: But from me? Skadryl: No, no

Bulson: OK, F*cking awesome

Skadryl: Your fan is f*cking awesome

Bulson: Hah, which, this big one? or small one?

Skadryl: Small one

Skadryl: It start up like a plane

Skadryl: I'm waiting for support, because without, this police is so weak

Bulson: Ye

*cut* Skadryl: Yes, that's what I'm talking about

Skadryl: 3

Skadryl: 2... Leave the trap!...

Skadryl: 1! 0! OK it is

Bulson: You said 0, and I hit PC

Skadryl: 7

Skadryl: This police annoying me...

Skadryl: Poor idea with this SUV... honestly

Bulson: He wanted to Ram me... He pushed me and got destroy

Skadryl: OK here would be some points

Skadryl: Well, some money...

Skadryl: OK ,I have 11K in 2 minutes (Nice)

Skadryl: Whaat? Trap is again available , it got reset

Skadryl: After 30 seconds *Bulson said that his too*

Skadryl: But why so fast?

Skadryl: Bugger me... After 30 seconds ?! I usually had it appeared again after 3 or 4 minutes

Skadryl: Leave me alone

Skadryl: So now there would be second heat

And I think i would get only third using Patriot

Third heat using Patriot? Its kind of sucide, In my opinion

Skadryl: But we will have it done

Skadryl: You can see there is a camera view of me, that you wanted

Skadryl: You can see my face now again

Bulson: I rather want to cover your camera area by duct tape

*laughing hard*

Skadryl: There is not support again

Skadryl: Main disadventage of Patriot is situation when you stuck somewhere, You're f*cked

Skadryl: No chance for escape

Skadryl: 12K only

Skadryl: Oh, second heat!, Good

Skadryl: Now I get more money

Bulson: *Hard to understand, something about Hermes, Sorry bro :) *

Skadryl: So It's my plan

Skadryl: Em, my tactic for police. Doing circles here in Doherty, near car salon

Skadryl: I can't destroy PC in first try... using SUV

Skadryl: Bad...

Skadryl: I don't know if SUVs was good

Skadryl: For chases

Skadryl: I can see road block there so we can destroy it a bit

For road blocks Patriot is good

But it's not good

I got freeze a bit

Skadryl: Whaaat?!?!?1

Skadryl: No, no no no no

*disapointed* No I will change a car

... change a car

Bulson: This weak? Skadryl: When you f*cking rollover, It's end

Bulson: You mean on the roof? *In polish this and last statement are having more sense together :)*

Skadryl: It's impossible I will choose a Futo again

Bulson: Futo Rules Skadryl: Ye Futo..., In Futo I got about 150K today

Or 120K in 30 minutes

So I will take Futo

Skadryl: This gamepad isn't good here

I made mistake, Patriot for chases... Not...

For road blocks, good, but when you roll on roof...

What's very possible by suspension

Bulson: You're f*cked . Skadryl: Yeah, exactly

I rather like use Futo

In Futo I have 2 heat, It would be 3 soon

So It would be good

Trap for them

11K, not bad and chase time even didn't pass 1 minute

13K

Bulson: I have about 40K in less than 4 minutes

Skadryl: So you can see

Skadryl: You lost me, right

Skadryl: Oh, Support

*Both of them* OK

*Mixed voices*

Skadryl: Right, PC was on the roof and it reteleported by it's own

Skadryl: I have support so I will wait now

And "regenerate" support... by escaping them

Skadryl: S*it

Bulson: You mean bugging? Skadryl: It's not bugging

*Bulson: Yeah, right (sarcastic)" Skadryl: But now...

Skadryl: Now it won't get succed because I'm recording...

Ok, Hide... OK

Look, now we have 1:30 again, see

And now we will do it same

We will wait until "triangle" wil appear again

I mean a trap

And If support will arrive, We will destroy it and there would be less PC again

It's my tactic, today discovered

It's nice

Ok, you can see trap is here now

We will wait for support now

Damn!

It would be hard on third heat with Futo

Because it's Futo

Not, for example Sultan

Made and tuned for 3 heat

You can see how Futo "behaves" when a lot of PC is around

And it's only 10 PCs now

I hope they won't destroy the trap

*Counting down 10 to 1

So we can destroy trap

Damn, what's going to do now. i think i will get FPS drops

*Counting from 12 to 15*

Thank you, Have a nice day

I fought I will get more money, unfortunately

Weak, because PCs had respawned in other place

Now we can destroy some PCs

I hope it won't be SUVs

Lately I do something like that with PCs

I drive in the around the Doherty (intresting activity AF)

It hasn't destroyed

PC hasn't destroyed

Why I have.... Now I noticed that I have "kek" written on Futo's plate

SUVs !!!!!

Yes, road block is here

I mean trap

Bulson: I have it appeared too

Skadryl: F*cking awesome (sarcasm), PC destroyed it for it's own

PC has destroyed that...

I have 41K now

45K i 6 minutes

Skadryl: Futo... Bulson: I have 70K

How much does it take you?

Bulson: in 13 minutes

2k for one police car

Ok, once again circle

Beautyful

PC, 2k

As you can see I don't have support because 5 PC is here

I think that support will arrive when there will be about 3 or... yes, 3 PCs

So leaving 4 PCs is worth

To don't have support yet

I think today I discovered how does police system works

System of PCs, system of Chases

I thought support appears randomly

I just had nice freeze

There would be "bloodbath"

But please, please don't destroy this trap

No, leave it alone

Let's have it done

So how much I will get?

22K in 3 minutes, 24k I have

8 PCs

Is there a trap? I think so

No, no trap there, I think those are SUVs

No it weren't SUVs on building zone

Bulson: OK Skadryl: How much do you got?

Bulson: 1K RP Skadryl: How much $ you had?

Bulson": 12 minutes, 50K

Skadryl: So I can get 50K for this episode

I can't feel it , I don't have luck while recording

What hapenned? No, this police is freak

You will see on the episode what happened

Bulson: What Skadryl: You don't know now

It respawned "one meter" in front of me

If was in the air so I pass through

Bulson: I was eating chips

Skadryl: Ye? I have chips too

But I have to focus on the chase

So, you can see In Futo It's going better than in Patriot, weird

But it's NFS:SA

Leave me alone...

Oh block is there

Bulson: Three grades and I will max out Hermes, f*cking awesome

Skadryl: When you bought it?

Bulson: Yesterday? Skadryl: You see...

Skadryl: You idiot...

He destroyed trap

Bulson: What a dick

Skadryl: Only 2 PCs

Skadryl: Yeah, SUVs.. I passed thru them calmly

So, here I can present you example of GTA:SA psyhics

Skadryl: *reading from chat* Screaming in front of monitor on chase I will give you kebab, it works

Wil we check it?

Skadryl *One again about kebab*

Bulson: XD

Skadryl: Not "XD", it's true

So, 10 minutes, 40 seconds. 48k

I will destroy road block and then I will show you next spot

Oh, trap is there but those idiots will destroy it

Bulson: Yes, I think they will

Skadryl: If they will destroy it, I will start Rage Mode

Ok, I will do circle *Bulson: Destroy your mobile phone!*

I will make police come near the trap

And we can destroy it

I crocked, Idiot destroyed it

OK I get about 8k, I haven't reached

11 minutes, 56k, I will hide and escape now

I have support so everything is ok

This psychics is f*cking awesomeI

AI of police is weird

Let's hide

We have 1 minute

Until support will come

I guess I will evade them like that

I even don't have to came into it

... into salon

And here, 888RP

Bulson: For wat?

Skadryl: For 11 minutes of chase and 52K

OK, I hope you enjoyed this episode, there was with me...

Bulson: "Fat"

And we will se in the next episode from NFS:SA

Bye :)

GinaTV ❤?(Eng Sub) - Duration: 1:51.

As I see it. We do not recommend use eyelash extensions.

However you did used to special eyelash extensions.

In my opinion,this method do not used rather feasible.

Hello everyone.

Welcome to our Gina'TV

Let me share a few thoughts with you

Many guests eyelash extensions. After that,to ask me

Gina can i eyelash extensions,and wearing mascara afterwards.

Of course not!

First of all,mascara have profuse oil.

All black glue afriad of oil.

If you use oil mascara may black glue lost viscosity.

Secondly.

As our eyelash extensions was grainy.

Then you wearing mascara will stuck together.

You hair will be a super Saiyan !

Thirdly,if you wearing mascara later.

Hard to remove your makeup. so you can use instant eye makeup remover.

Black glue afraid oil,instant eye makeup remover&mascara contain oil,So what happen to both?

You eyelash will almost shattered out.

If you really want to use mascara.

You can ask eyelash teacher

Buy oil-free mascara.

As I see it. We do not recommend use mascara.

Because remove your makeup is harder.

Please do not wearing on your face.

See you next time on Gina'TV.

MAKING OF BLACKHOLE - Trailer - Duration: 2:25.

It's been a while since I tried to program various prototypes of platformers.

After the release of PacIn we started to decide what to do next.

We had a couple of smaller projects.

We thought that BLACKHOLE was going to be the thing that's going to get us out there.

LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES OF BLACKHOLE DEVELOPMENT

We didn't want to make just another small game in one month.

We wanted to make something bigger.

"Woaaaaaaah! What the hell!"

I'd like to apologize to all players who broke their keyboards or controllers

(or whatever the heck you play on, I have no clue) during BLACKHOLE.

I know Fiola a little bit and he kinda knows me and so...-

WAIT!

All of us had to get in the studio together which was difficult, logistic-wise.

Do not rush the next sentence, you've got time, feel free to pause.

Ar-ti-cu-late!

"Don't forget that time is meaningless."

Auriel is overprocessed. We had to make it all sound good.

"When I tell you to make coffee, I assume you'll bring it at once. That is your purpose here."

We'll die like heroes!

It was stressful to finish the level and make it good.

We knew that we were falling behind.

When I jumped in as a developer, I found out there were lots of missing things.

I underestimated it at the beginning, I didn't dedicate 100% of my time to it.

The game possibly can't come out that soon!

...adding different tiles in the levels that constantly repeat is a very tedious process.

It has to be done well.

For someone it's a huge amount of work, for others it's fun.

TWO BIG DOCUMENTS

The most important thing during the work on such a big project is obviously to like the project.

"...it's this nice artbook-"

"I gotta tell you, it looks gorgeous!"

When we started, it wouldn't even occur to me that some people were going to draw fanart of my work.

"We can leave him here."

"The hole's pissed me off."

"WOAH! HOLY SHIT!"

"The best Czech *hyphen* Slovak federative game of the year."

BLACKHOLE truly changed our lives. The console release is going to change them in some way too.

Obviously for the better, I hope!

*laughs* One never knows.

Blind STEM Professionals Share Their Experiences - Duration: 19:19.

Hi, I'm Cindy Bennett, and I am a blind to PhD student at the

University of Washington in the department of human centered design and

engineering. Hi, I'm Gary Wunder, and I'm a blind computer scientist. Hi my name is

Mark Colasurdo, and I'm a blind PhD student in biomedical engineering. Hi, I'm Jamie, and

I'm studying to be a physicist, and I'm blind. Hi, I'm Dr. Cary Supalo, and I'm a blind chemist.

I became inspired to become a STEM professional after I finished my undergraduate degree

in psychology. I began working in a computer science department at the

University of Washington on some accessibility research projects, and I

realized that I could combine my social science background with a passion for

technology to be able to join a lucrative and interesting workforce.

I've always been fascinated with electronics, the magic of being able to communicate

with a wire, or even without a wire when you come down to radio, and the idea

that you could actually make a machine that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide,

could do it faster than human beings, and that I could learn to program it was a

really cool idea to me. I think I always have had a natural curiosity for

understanding how things work, whether it's something in nature or something

more physical like chemistry or machines, but I've always had a curiosity for that,

so I pursued it throughout my education. And then coming into STEM fields, I find

that it's an excellent way to give back to society, so I really enjoy the aspect

of being able to make positive change through science, and so that's what's

kept me into STEM. I've always been really curious about the world. In a way

I think I've always been a scientist. When I was little I would spend a lot of

time asking questions about why and how things work, and sometimes even designing

my own experiments to understand things better.

So I always knew I wanted to be a scientist, I just didn't really know how

a blind person could do it. So when people would ask what I wanted to be

when I grew up, I would cycle through things that I thought were a little bit

more likely for me to achieve like teacher, or writer, or social worker, or

something, but I was never happy with these ideas. I really just wanted to do

science. When I was an undergraduate student at Purdue University, I didn't

know what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I was inspired by the chemistry

courses I was enrolled in as a freshman to work really hard to understand this

at the time was very complicated material, and as I worked hard at things

I started experiencing more and more success with the material, and it

started a snowball effect, started rolling a little bit more, and I got into

it more quickly and became bigger, and faster and before I knew when I was a

chemistry guru. And understanding the world the way it is and why things are

the way they are really, really has motivated me since I was a child, and the

chemistry profession was a good way to pursue that interest. I first realized

that I could do STEM as a blind person after my undergraduate degree in

psychology. I began working in a computer science department at the University of

Washington, and the students in the lab believed in me. There were never any

discussions about what I could or could not do as a blind person, and whenever we

encountered inaccessible technologies, the research team was very supportive of

finding ways of communicating that worked for everyone, and encouraging me

to learn how to program and to become a better researcher. At this time I also

started connecting with other blind STEM professionals, and learning from them

absolutely inspired me to pursue STEM. Well I always wanted to go into the

sciences, but the further I got along in school the more I was told that STEM

really wasn't a possibility for me, that I should concentrate on something in the

social sciences, something that would rely less on

direct observation, that would rely less on using my hands, that would be more

"read about it, write about it." And one day I was telling a professor that I really

liked philosophy and political science but I wished I could find a way to go

into the field of electronics, and he said, "I don't know why you're choosing

your second choice and your third choice before you've given yourself a chance

for your first choice. I don't know whether you can make it or not, but it

seems to me that anybody who respects themselves would at least try their

first choice. And thank God you have second and third ones to fall back on. So I

don't know if this will work, but let's try it." So I lost my vision when I was 16,

and I attended training at the Louisiana Center for the Blind, and at that time

when I had lost my vision I had kind of lost hope of pursuing my career in STEM,

but I think with my experiences at LCB and having that initial empowerment, I

saw that I could continue to do what I wanted to do, and it empowered and enabled me

to continue this career option, going on to college and then now in my graduate studies.

I struggled a lot with mathematics in college. I would even have

some professors at various institutions turn me away and say, "You can't do math

if you're blind," and I started to believe them, until I went to a new school in

Colorado and decided to start off with just a math class. It was college algebra,

and I didn't want my teacher to have any assumptions about me. So when I walked

into class on the first day, and he was asking all the students, "How do you feel

about math? how do you do at math?" I lied through my teeth, and I told him that I'm

excellent at math. I've always been head of my class, and it's my favorite subject

ever. And then I spent the rest of the semester trying to not get caught in my

lie. By the end of the semester, I had an A in the class,

and I was kind of blown away by this. I was finding that I really enjoyed the

subject. I was talking to a friend of mine one night, and I was telling him

about it, and I telling him about how all I really want

to do is understand how the universe works, and he looked at me and he said,

"Well why don't you major in physics?" And I looked at him like he was crazy, but he

said he wasn't joking. This is a sighted person who's well educated, who's

brilliant in math and science, telling me that I could be a physicist.

And I thought, "Well I made it through college algebra, and I really like math,

and I really like science. What do I have to lose? I'm gonna give it a try."

I first took an interest in STEM-type content back when I was in fourth grade, and

there I was discovering that I was really good at math, and arithmetic

calculations, and doing things in my head was a lot of fun to me. And as I progressed

through middle school, I started learning more about the life sciences and

physical sciences, and I wanted to understand more about how math and

science related to one another, and when I got to high school that was my first

initial opportunity to really pursue that in multiple classes.

And then of course leap frogging from high school into college, there are the

gateway courses of calculus, and chemistry, and physics that are designed

to be very difficult for students because they want to sort of weed out

the pretenders, if you will. I wasn't sure if I could do it initially until I met a

blind chemistry professor, Dr. David Wohlers at Truman State University in

Kirksville, Missouri. He came to Purdue where I was an undergraduate student, gave

a research talk, and they had arranged it so that I could have dinner with him and

spend extra time with him before and after the presentation and on his visit,

and he inspired me, because I realized having a tangible person that I

could hear, and talk to, and learn from that if I worked hard at this I could

figure out how to do it, and I could do it myself. My greatest challenge has been

learning to program in a classroom environment. So part of the reason for

this challenge is that I'm a graduate student working with technical people,

and so I'm trying to catch up, but to do that I've signed up for a couple of

programming classes, and the greatest challenge is when the technology tools

that the rest of the class is using are not accessible. When I have to use

alternative development environments from the other students, the teacher

isn't ready to support me, and so I have to do extra work to learn how to use

accessible tools. And the other big challenge is when professors don't say

out loud what they're writing on the board or typing on their computer. A lot of

computer science professors code during class, and it's a really interactive way

to help students to understand the content, as well as making errors and

working through debugging code, but often professors don't announce, especially

non-textual characters, and it's really difficult, even if I have the notes in

front of me, trying to map what they're saying to what part of the notes they're

referring to. So that's probably the biggest challenge is when there's not

enough verbal information in the classroom.

Well, my greatest challenge in school was getting materials in a form that I could

read, and getting professors to articulate what it was they were talking

about. You know, if we were dealing with something as simple as Ohm's law, and you

were trying to figure out the current flowing through a circuit, you could say

voltage over resistance equals current, but that isn't the way they said it they

said, "If you take this, and you divide it by this, you come up with this." And you

have to do a lot of asking about okay what is the "this" in all of that. That was the

problem in school. The interesting problem was in work the assumption was

that if I got through school I could probably do the work, and my first boss

said that he almost didn't hire me because he thought that it would require

too much effort to get me to the workplace, home

again, to find me lunch, and to take me to the bathroom, and he said, "You know, we

just didn't have the kind of staff to do that sort of thing." And I said, "So you

weren't worried about whether I could do the work or not?" And he said, "No. I figured

if they sent you here you could already program. I just figured you'd

take a lot of maintenance. And when you came here on your own, and you didn't ask

me for anything, I was convinced that if you worked out with the rest of the

staff, you were a hire."

The most difficult aspect of what I do is probably lab

bench science. So working at the bench, working with different tools, performing

cell culture, which requires very precise hand-eye coordination, and working with a

variety of tools in a very rapid manner, using microscopy, and being able to

analyze the images for different aspects of what you might be looking for, and so

work as an undergrad reading books and doing tests was not as difficult as

long as you can get the accommodations that you need, but the most difficult

part of science so far has been actually doing it in the laboratory. for me one of

For me one of the biggest challenges that I encountered both in undergraduate school

and in graduate school was misconceptions by faculty in my

department, in the chemistry department, as to the capabilities of a blind person,

how they would actually do innovative research, and the first happened when I

was a senior at Purdue and I approached the professor that inspired me to want

to go on to graduate school and pursue chemistry as a profession. And I asked

him after having taken two of his -- actually three of his courses -- and doing

quite well in them, if he would support me writing me a recommendation letter to

graduate school, and he said he would not because he didn't know how I would

perform the job as competitively as a sighted student would be able to. And so

for me that was a real downer but through

a semester-long effort and educating of him and other faculty as to the

capabilities and the historical perspective of blind people in STEM-type

professions in the past, I persuaded him to give me that recommendation letter in

the end for graduate school. I was very inspired by that. And then in graduate

school, you have to choose a research adviser, and I interviewed faculty member

number one, two, three, and four. I was expected to interview a minimum of four,

and faculty member number three, I met with him, and we discussed his work and

how exciting it was, and I explained to him how I as a blind person was going

to do my work, working with Braille, and tactile graphics, and undergraduate

students helping me to do the work at the bench-top,

and I would design all my experiments based on literature through consultation

with him as the faculty member, and it all sounded fine, and when I got down to

the end of it I said, "Would you be open to the idea of me joining your research

group?" He said no. And I asked him for clarification as to why, and he said, "I

view you as a financial liability, and why should I spend my limited grant

research dollars on you when I could spend them on someone else that would be

more productive?" But of course I didn't know what really to say to that, and so

it sort of set me back on my heels if you were, and I left that meeting and

went to meeting number four, and met with the faculty member that ended up turning

out to be my research adviser. And I asked him after explaining how I was going to do

all my work and working with undergraduate students if he had any

concerns, and he said no. He said, "Cary, you have been problem solving to

overcome your physical challenges for in essence your entire life. That is the

essence of what a scientist does, and I view that as an asset to your research."

No one ever comes up to me and says, "You can't do this because you're blind."

People have become a little bit more polite than that, but in the nuances of

the ways that people interact with me I can gauge

that there might be some assumptions about what I can do. So one thing I make

an effort to do are really simple, even non work-related tasks, like getting

people coffee. When I was a TA in the fall, my professor would often set up the

classroom and do menial tasks that were typical of the TA, such as turning on the

projector, passing out supplies, and so I, when I noticed that was happening, I made

an effort to show up to class early and to start performing those tasks before

the professor could get there and then when he arrived he could see, oh Cindy

has already done this. This isn't a big deal. And other other ways I circumvent

that is when I suspect that there might be some assumptions, a lot of it is

around navigating technologies, I try to have open communication with my

collaborators and explain when things really are not accessible and always

offering a way that I can do it a different way or to collaboratively

brainstorm if I don't have a solution ready at hand. I never had anyone assume

that I couldn't do my work because I was blind. They worried about whether or not

I could get there, and whether I could handle the mobility required to be a

colleague, but I don't think I ever had anyone say, "I'm not going to give you

this assignment because." Now there were times when the technology that was

available and its relative inaccessibility made certain assignments

pretty hard, but I tried to make that a situation that I dealt with rather than

one that other people had to deal with. I would assume that they assumed that you

can not do most of it or any of it, but I think that the parts that are

particularly difficult or most obvious to people would be things like

microscopy, that are entirely visual, or things that require very precise

working, such as with

working with cell culture for example, that requires very precise eye coordination.

This has become less and less of an issue the longer I've been in

the field, but in the beginning a lot of people assumed that I wouldn't be able

to set up or use delicate or dangerous equipment to do experiments. Some

examples of this would be soldering irons, electrical components, lasers, all

kinds of things, even things as simple as a swinging pendulum, but in reality I can

do all of this. I just need to do it a little bit differently, and a lot of my

colleagues just needed to see that a few times before they believed it.

So sometimes my colleagues assume that I can't work in the effective time table

as nonvisually impaired counterparts because it takes blind people longer to

do things, and in some cases that can be true, and we as blind professionals just

need to be willing to make the time commitment to do that work, for example

grading handwritten work. It takes a long time to go over one student's work, and

over and over again until you are satisfied with the answers that you

received, and providing the feedback that you want to give, dictating the feedback

to a sighted person to then hand scribe it on the page in red ink, and making

sure that it's written the way you want it because you don't want to create any

offense and things of that sort. But then that's time that I'm willing to give as

a commitment to my profession and to my students' learning and being successful.

Strefa 30 km/h w centrum Poznania / 30 km/h zone in center of Poznan - Duration: 12:06.

Poznan calm down, where do you rush?

It turned out that the speed of 50 km/h is too much

and on some streets in center of Poznan,

the speed is limited to 30 km/h.

In this episode we will talk about traffic calming.

Lets' watch!

Restricted speed zones are supposed to be drug for three diseases spreading in Downtowns of Polish cities.

Often central area is treated by drivers as a great transit route,

because it is the shortest.

So what that we generate congestion, noise and pollution in this area?

Zone is thus to discourage use of these roads

and lead congestion out on alternative main routes surrounding the Center.

Second important issue is improving safety in these areas.

Why speed is limited to these 30 km/h?

It turns out that after accident with car and pedestrian at this speed,

probability of pedestrian death is more than 8-times lower

than in case of 50 km/h speed,

which is standard speed for built-up areas.

For pedestrians this is no longer safe speed -

in more than eighty percent of cases –

accident at this speed may end with death.

Similar dependencies also apply to other road users:

cyclists or people on scooters or motorcycles,

although speed differences between vehicles can be even greater

– to disadvantage of more susceptible on injuries drivers of two-wheelers.

And thirdly, comfort of living in these areas.

In order for us to enjoy the city center,

we would like it to be relatively quiet,

with no pollution

and plenty of space

- generally nice.

Walking zones in the heart of many cities we already have.

It is harder to get into those zones from rest of city,

where pedestrians are pushed to the edge.

We are at the moment

when we start talking about intermediate zones

- with streets adapted to pedestrian or cyclist perception,

but with allowed car traffic,

although at reduced speed.

We already have concrete implementations of this type of zones in Poland,

we will see the realization in Poznan.

"Tempo 30" zone is determined by vertical and horizontal signs on entry and exit from area.

In Poznań so far, area cover selected streets in western part of city center,

centered around Wolności and Ratajczaka Squares.

According to plans, Zone will be further expanded,

covering streets around Old Market Square

and southern part of city center.

Designing a zone is just beginning,

the heart of the matter lies in means to physically and mentally exert an influence on drivers

to remain at low speeds.

In zone you will see narrowed lanes or their smaller number relative to previous state.

For example, St. Martin's street

on some fragment was narrowed to one lane

and inclined parking,

which occupied space of sidewalks,

was turned into parallel.

The edges of the narrow lanes can be delimited by delimiters.

Part of the recovered space is used to designate parking spaces

or to set up bicycles stands.

Instead of traffic junction with preference direction,

priority to the right intersections were implemented,

which is supposed to force speed limit.

Similarly, in case of elevated pedestrian crossings,

speed is limited with fear of suspension loss,

but also improvement visibility of crossing.

Pedestrian crossings on wide roadways

can also be facilitated by providing intermediate asylums.

One of the most difficult issues in such zones

is parking policy.

Minimum number of places for vehicles in such areas must always exist

- not all destinations are accomplished on foot or on bikes.

Improving street lanes geometry and designating bike lanes

often means, however, that there is a limit on number of parking spaces available for cars.

If there are such financial opportunities,

we build underground parking spaces.

Cities should, however, be able to freely charge parking fees according to their own needs,

which is currently regulated by law.

This is a de facto basic tool for managing the available number of parking spaces in paid parking zone.

In area of limited speed, traffic lights are also switched off.

It is recognized that at such a speed, the traffic will well and safely

adjust on its own.

After observing some of these intersections in the city I have mixed feelings,

some of them had potential collision situations

and at peak hours,

at high traffic vehicles remained on center of intersections,

blocking traffic to other directions.

Purpose of speed limit actually was accomplished in this way.

However, it must be acknowledged

that traffic of pedestrians, cyclists and tramways

- took place without long lasting stops under the lights.

In such a zone we can also make it easier for passengers traveling by public transport -

in a single tram will be much more passengers than in one car.

One of the solutions are Viennese stops,

where we raise the level of roadway in place where passengers get off at it -

at level near the entrance to bus or tram.

On the other hand, stop again forces speed limit

and stopping of car in front of lifted surface

when tram stops,

until it leaves the stop.

Cyclists are feeling a special change inside Poznan zone 30.

There are special lanes on roadways, only for bicyclists.

Due to counterlanes, bicycle traffic was also allowed in many unidirectional streets "upstream".

These measures are designed to provide most possible driving directions,

streamlining and accelerating movement in city center on bike.

So far, these solutions have not been used by too many bikers,

but looking at Warsaw -

as bike network grows - bike traffic also grow,

so increasing bicycle traffic seems to be a matter of time.

Greater bicycle accessibility is also contributing to increase of public bicycle system.

Every year number of stations and bikes is growing

and currently system in Poznań has 88 stations

and 963 bicycles.

Zone is already a part of tourist area of Poznan

and there is also a place for tourists to get off the coaches.

For these vehicles, special parking spaces have been designated for up to 15 minutes,

which allows for a "landing"

but while waiting for tourists return,

coach must park outside the area.

The primary purpose of setting speed limits is to improve traffic safety.

Smaller differences in speed between vehicles and other participants

mean less risk of collision or accident

and its possible consequences.

In city centers we have been concentrating our development for centuries, so as to use as much valuable space as possible,

but something went wrong along the way.

Cars showed up, our private means of transport

and we began to limit our space to live in cities.

There are more and more vehicles and first problems with smooth traffic appeared,

so roads were widened to the limit.

City streets became extremely unattractive:

most of their cross-sections were occupied by roadways and parking spaces,

pedestrians were pushed onto narrow pavements

and cyclists had to cope in one or the other space

– feeling unwelcome on both.

Treating inner city roads as a transit routes

we stop in congestion,

travel for a longer time,

air we breathe is polluted.

Now we face the question of whether cities and especially their centers,

should be for people or remain dominated by cars?

Is center to be space in which we live, work, relax and have fun?

Reducing speed often raises objections to road users,

but is it right in case of central areas?

Please let us know what you think in the comments.

Meanwhile, thanks for the great attention and see you next time!

You guys want to see it.

And you've been loads of comments. Loads and loads.

So today's the day, and we're going to go ride.

So Doddy, lead the way, I'm going to follow you.

- Let's hit it.

(lively music)

(wheels rolling on dirt)

WOAH!

(Blake laughs loudly)

(Doddy laughs)

- [Blake] Are you all right?

- [Doddy] I don't know where my glove's gone.

- Bet it went down there.

- Oh, there it is.

Dear.

- Let's do that again, but don't go down there.

- I won't go down there that time.

(lively music) (wheels rolling on dirt)

(laughs)

- Well, that answers your question.

He can definitely shred the trail.

But I've got a few questions for you.

Right, where's your favourite place to ride?

- Do you know what?

Lucky enough over the years I've ridden in so many

amazing different countries.

Canada, Mexico, France Spain, all sorts.

But do you know what, home trails.

- [Interviewer] Local trails.

- You know my local trails aren't the best,

but right out my door, lovely single track,

and sometimes that's all I need.

- [Interviewer] What sort of riding do you love to do?

- Do you know, just what we've been doing, single track

with the trees whistling past. - Nice.

- It doesn't even to be the craziest section of trail,

just that sensation.

Nothing beats it, I swear.

- Bucket list.

Do you have a bucket list trail that you want to do,

or mountain you want to shred down, or ...

- Do you know, I'm also lucky, I've kind of

ticked off what was always my bucket list,

and that was a trail called the Whole Enchilada

in Moab, and that's kind of got a bit of everything.

It starts up at high Alpine, and drops all the way down

to the canyon floor.

And I think it's like 27 miles long.

- Yeah?

- Like, of pretty much all downhill, yeah?

- Wow. - And it's got everything.

You've got roots, or schralpy turns at the top,

you've got river crossings, it's just ...

The famous slick rock, the canyon edge stuff,

it's just incredible.

- That's going on my list.

- Let's go tomorrow.

- That's going on my list.

- It's pretty brutal, as well.

- Right, I've got one more question.

You're sat down on your bike,

like chilling, how tall are you?

'Cause you're taller than me already.

- D'you know what, six three, six four,

somewhere around there.

A bit rangey.

- You should be a basketball player.

Well, enough of that.

Let's carry on shredding, because I've got a few more,

I've got some challenges for you.

(lively music) (wheels rolling on dirt)

(laughs)

Whoa.

Right. I want to see you get some air time.

Because I'm all about that.

Challenge number one. - Okay.

- Hit that jump right there.

- Okay.

- You got it.

- Yeah, I think so.

(Interviewer claps hands)

- [Interviewer] He's dropping.

(wheels rolling on dirt)

- [Doddy] (shouts enthusiastically)

(wheels rolling on dirt)

- [Interviewer] (laughs)

(wheels rolling on dirt)

(laughs)

Wow, it's been so long.

(slaps a high five)

Viewers have asked, I wanted to ride with you,

and it's been so good.

It's been a long time coming, and we've produced it

just for you guys.

He can shred. He can take some air.

And he can ride some trails. What more do you need?

Your very first memory of French cuisine ?

My first memory of French cuisine,

I think it might be my very first meal, because in the end, in Belgium we cook

a lot of French recipes, as we are neighbour.

So I grew up, inspired by French cuisine, and

the bound between Belgian and French cooking is so thin.

What do you think of France, its products and cooking ?

I am amazed by the diversity of products.

There is an incredible number of French products,

and you can buy things you wouldn't think it can be French.

Naturally, it boosts my creativity, I think of all the mix I can make.

French products are a new challenge to me.

Your advice for the first time in Paris ?

You have to come to Paris, just to wander its already amazing.

And try this wine bar in which we ate, with the french products tapas,

it was so unique the way they renewed the concept of tapas.

Why PRP Can Improve Neck Skin but Cannot Lift, and Options for Neck Rejuvenation - Duration: 7:42.

Thank you for your question.

You submitted a photo of your neck and you state that you're 36-years-old and you have

an area of what appears to be loose skin and you're asking if PRP will be helpful to

treat this area.

Well, I can certainly share with you the way I counsel patients who come in with very similar

situations as yours.

A little bit of background, I'm a Board-certified cosmetic surgeon and Fellowship-trained oculofacial

plastic and reconstructive surgeon.

I have been in practice in Manhattan and Long Island for over 20 years.

And helping people with their neck in terms of rejuvenation through a multitude of options

is something that we do in our practice every day.

And especially significant is our use of PRP in our practice.

So, I'll help you understand what PRP can do and cannot do.

So to begin with, the choice of any type of intervention is based on a proper diagnosis.

And also understanding of course the limits of the tools you want to apply.

So we'll start first by getting a better understanding of what PRP is.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma.

Platelet-rich plasma is essentially a concentration from your own blood of the wound healing and

growth factors appropriate to stimulate collagen, to generate blood supply and have a lot of

different things that can do to help tissue essentially improve.

So when we use PRP in our practice, we use it for acne scars, we use it for wrinkles,

we use it for skin discolorations, under eye dark circles, we use in conjunction with Acellular

matrix for hair loss.

Now a lot of times, people feel or interpret PRP as being able to fill as well as to lift.

And in either situation, it's really about a perception.

Let's start with the filling part.

When you are trying to improve an area's appearance of volume, PRP can stimulate the

fat under the skin to blossom and increase in volume and that can look like a filler

but it's not going to be the same as an injectable filler.

As far as lifting is concerned, in an area, let's say over the cheekbone or in an area

where there is a layer of fat that can help be a cushion and may create some volume subtlety,

then it can lift.

Now in your situation, the diagnosis is probably not appropriate to use PRP as a standalone.

PRP can help the neck skin texture, it can help the neck skin quality.

But without a benefit of a physical examination, what it appears is you have a platysmal band

which is a muscle called the platysma and that band represents an attachment to the

skin.

And a lot of times, we can interpret this as a splitting of the muscle.

Sometimes it's really just about a localized or an area of atrophy which makes the muscle

more prominent.

And you are essentially dealing with a muscle that there are a variety of options which

can be used to address that muscle, everything from minimally invasive such the use of Botox®

to relax the muscle as well as moderately invasive or something like a suture suspension

procedure and more aggressive such as platysmaplasty and neck lifting surgery.

So, I think that is more appropriate based on the diagnosis.

Of course, an evaluation is not limited to the narrow area of the photograph of your

neck but a proper evaluation.

When I see my patients in my practice, I take pictures and I have them lift the different

areas and I show them and review their photos on the screen about what we can possibly do

based on what the issue is and then they decide with what they're comfortable with.

Sometimes, it's a stepwise approach.

Sometimes we do a little Botox® first, see how things look.

Then if that isn't as beneficial, we look at other options.

We look whether or not there's truly redundant skin or is there volume loss in the face.

And in that case, we can actually do something called structural volumizing to literally

expand the volume in the face, to help lift the neck but that's a different strategy

and it depends on your facial anatomy which we can't appreciate with the photo you submitted.

So I think that you will find that you will get a lot of opinions about what's best

for your neck.

And I think it's important that you get comfortable with the doctor that can guide

you in a way that hopefully you'll feel comfort with.

There are a lot of options and there are a lot of technologies that are being promoted.

And there's certainly no shortage of people that are ready to offer their best solution.

And I think certainly that majority of the time it's well-meaning but a lot of times,

it might miss the mark unless there's good communication between you and the doctor.

So meet with qualified, experienced cosmetic surgeons.

I think that would be the ideal specialist, a cosmetic surgeon, someone who is able to

do everything from minimally invasive to more advanced cosmetic surgery to give you an overview

based on experience as to what would be best for a 36-year-old woman who has this issue.

So I hope that was helpful, I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your question.

Scars 🎙️ a Sci-Fi Short Story Audiobook 🎙️ by Esther Davis - Duration: 8:52.

Scars by Esther Davis

Every scar tells a story.

Dark webbing still marks my shoulder from the day that bullets separated my squad from

our company.

The bleeding would've killed me if my comrades hadn't bandaged it.

But isolated from medical equipment, we couldn't stop the scarring.

After days of wandering the Amazon I tripped, leaving a white slice across my stomach.

A dumb wound.

Not from a heroic battle with enemy soldiers or fleeing some hungry beast.

I just got tired, so I fell.

Then came the jagged blossom encasing my thigh.

Forever a vengeful red, as if still burning after all these years.

Some stories I'd rather forget.

* * * I turned to the avatars for my escape.

Avatars have no scars to pinch at every arm stretch.

Pistons and cogs don't grind with arthritis.

I scaled the Grand Canyon with the arms of a robotic chimp.

The wonders of coral reefs opened to my aquatic avatar's photo-sensors.

I've galloped across green fields, grandchild mounted on my saddle.

The world in a mechanical body never harbored memories of war.

Until now.

Explosions rack my frame.

Dust fogs my avatar's view.

I dig my claws into the soil and let my inertia swing my feline body onto its new course.

Across the ocean, cables suspend my true body—my scarred body—above the warehouse floor.

I'm sure the camouflaged personnel still swarm below, checking my vital signs, the

avatar's functionality, the video and data streaming from the battlefield.

Command center may share my eyes, but they can't taste the sandy air.

They can't feel the satisfying way my claws pierce the earth or how my padded feet launch

me onward.

The rolling tank doesn't shake the ground beneath them.

They don't hear the fleeing birds' squawks with such clarity, transferred straight from

the avatar's receptors to my brain.

They wanted their war hero back.

We don't need your body, they said.

Your mind, your skill with the avatars, that's all.

I refused.

They dragged me back to the battlefield anyway.

* * * We found the enemy camp on day six.

The hostages, the data, the battle plans—everything we needed to end the war—tucked away in

seven pale tents huddled beneath the trees.

If we'd come in numbers, a guard would have heard us.

But a broken, lost battalion in the Amazon becomes invisible.

I ordered the men to divide and surround the camp.

Hidden in the greenery, they fired.

The enemy panicked, thinking themselves surrounded.

People ran in every direction, stumbling over one other, colliding, spilling documents and

hard drives in the dirt, stooping to hurriedly gather their mess.

I slipped in among the chaos.

I expected more guards in the hostage tent.

But only a skinny man crouched, trembling, between me and the prisoners bound in the

dirt.

When I flipped open the tent door he shouted and raised his weapon.

I reacted instinctively.

My rifle hoisted.

The trigger pulled.

The guard fell.

Just like I'd trained.

I didn't notice my burning thigh until I fell, my back slapping the ground.

I ripped the box from my flesh.

I didn't recognize it.

Some experimental technology, I guess.

The army took the barbed box later, when I delivered our rescued hostages and they gave

me my medal.

They never told me details.

"Lethal," was all they said.

"Lucky you disengaged it."

* * * Power courses through my circuitry.

My hind legs punch the ground and I bound forward.

A seventy-miles-per-hour limit hid me before.

But I knew I'd lost my stealth at the first explosion.

Military don't fire missiles at stray cheetahs.

No more use pretending.

I strain my machinery, pushing full thrust into every bound.

One hundred.

Two hundred.

Three hundred.

Faster.

Savannah grass snaps across my flank.

My weighted tail whips behind, letting me steer and balance.

I reel back toward the camp, sending up my own dust cloud.

The muddy tanks grind their noses towards me.

One fires, hitting fifty yards behind.

I fly through the savannah, weaving to avoid missiles and grenades.

Soldiers flee, though their commander's foreign shouts order them to fight.

Mentally, I beg them to keep fleeing.

Run, surrender, anything.

Don't make me fight you.

Don't let them get you.

* * * The general met me at a steakhouse.

He probably figured I'd find the country music and meat more welcoming than his stuffy

office.

Personally, I'd rather have a cold burrito than the too-rare steak the waiter brought

me.

General Lee gave me the guilt trip, the same one from his email.

The same one from his phone call.

"I know you're retired, but we need you.

Your country needs you."

"No."

"Why?"

I rolled up my pant leg, wincing as it tugged at my scarred tissue.

The scar's red burned bright against my pale skin.

"This."

He smiled sympathetically, like I was some naive child.

"But we've discussed this.

You'll just be an avatar.

Nothing can hurt you."

He rested his elbow on either side of his empty plate and leaned toward me.

"No more scars.

I promise."

Not all scars are physical.

* * * I reach the first tank.

I leap.

My avatar torpedoes through the metal and tears out the other side.

I slice through the next tank just as easily, like stabbing melted ice cream.

I hear the drones now, their buzzing and distant pops.

I try blocking out the screams.

I turn away from the blood.

I focus on the job I can stomach—killing lifeless metal.

* * * The prisoners unbound, the enemy camp secured,

I knelt alone in the once-hostage tent.

The young man still lay there, or his lifeless body at least.

I didn't regret my actions.

I still don't.

I saved lives.

My heart still felt hollow.

We dug the graves earlier that day.

We filled them with enemy soldiers and two of our men.

I told them to leave this boy.

I would search his pockets then fill the final grave myself.

I laid his pockets' contents in the dirt.

Bullets and bandages.

Some stray coins.

And a photo of a girl, maybe five- or six-years-old, with the young man's black hair and round

nose.

Large, cramped lettering fill the back.

Months later, I found the strength to let the interpreter translate the note.

I love you Daddy.

Come home.

Intel NUC Roon Rock Part 3: how to use it - Duration: 18:03.

In Roon ROCK - Roon Core for the Intel NUC part 1 and 2 I have showed you how to prepare

an Intel NUC computer for use with the Roon ROCK music server software. Now we are ready

to see how this little wonder can be used.

Roon is about the most versatile and least single minded music server software I know.

The software is fully transparent for audio and thus, potentially, is able to provide

the highest quality audio achievable. But whether you will enjoy this optimal performance

depends on the configuration and the hardware used. The prepared Intel NUC computer running

Roon ROCK is basically a headless server but can also be used as player. If you connect

a headphone or amplifier directly to the NUC and define the analogue output of the NUC

as an endpoint, you can already play music. But don't get your expectations up too high

for the sound quality will be rather low. Computers are great for handling bits but

analogue sound is not their forte. You do need to use an external device to convert

the bits to analogue sound and there are several ways to do this. Let's start with the simplest:

As said, you don't want to have the computer do the digital to analogue conversion. Computers

are notoriously noisy and that will destroy the analogue low level information while that

is where the fine details are hidden. Especially the clock that is needed to offer the samples

just on time for conversion can be - and almost always will be - disturbed by interference

of other clock signals in a computer. That not only affects d/a-conversion but also digital

outputs, SPDIF signals have the clock signal embedded and an external d/a-converter will

have to slave to this clock. Therefore the SPDIF output will offer poor quality too.

In general the best way to connect a d/a-converter to a normal computer is using the modern version

of USB audio. This is a USB 2 connection using an asynchronous protocol and is used by all

modern d/a-converters - abbreviated DAC. It asks the computer over USB for audio bits

until its buffer is full. It then signals the computer to stop sending. In the mean

time it starts converting the bits, timed by a local clock oscillator, to analogue audio.

When the buffer starts to empty, the DAC sends a request for more bits and so on. The clock

oscillator in the DAC plays a very important role; a poor clock will always results in

low audio quality. Unfortunately a good clock alone is not a guarantee for good quality since other

factors come into play as wel, like the d/a conversion chip, the power supply and the

PCB design. And even the analogue output stage can be of great influence. A good DAC

is a DAC that is properly designed, using quality components. See my reviews to make

your pick. Anyway, if you want the Intel NUC Roon ROCK computer to be close to the stereo,

a modern DAC connected over USB will be the best choice. Only when you want to use an

AV receiver that has HDMI inputs, you might try to connect the NUC to the receiver using

HDMI. Although audio is transported in-between a video signal, good AV-receivers manage to

straighten the signal and so offer a decent sound quality. So we now have two scenarios:

The Intel NUC running Roon ROCK connected over async USB to a DAC or the Intel NUC running

Roon ROCK connected over HDMI to an AV receiver.

In both cases there might be room for improvement. Whether that pays depends on the quality of

your stereo, the way it is set up and whether you are a critical listener. Suggestions I

do here are proven to improve the audio quality in my set 1. That doesn't automatically

mean they will work in your setup. But indication where it will work and where not is rather

difficult if not impossible. I can only guaranty you won't hear the difference over a set of

50 euro PC speakers. The improvements all have to do with lowering the noise so it will

not mask the low level information. Let's start with the power supply that came with

the Intel NUC computer. This is a so called switching mode power supply - SMPS abbreviated.

It works by switching a voltage at a very high frequency - about the same a class D

amps work. The advantage are clear: low component cost and very high efficiency. The disadvantage

for audio is that the switching frequency might - or almost always will - pollute the

power feed. This causes the audio signal to be masked to a certain degree. A DAC is in

fact a digitally controlled tap, like a beer tap, where the current is like the beer. Feed

a beer tap with slim beer and you get a very poor tasting beer. Feed a DAC with a polluted

voltage and it will produce a poor sound. So if you go for quality and you want to connect

the DAC directly to the NUC, consider a high quality power supply. This will often be a

so called linear power supply, an old fashioned transformer with electronics. It is possible

to design a switching mode power supply that is just as silent but that often is more costly

than a linear design. A decent power supply will set you back around € 100, a very good

power supply will be more in the region of € 300 to € 400. Please check if the power

supply is able to deliver enough wattage for your configuration by finding out the so called

Processor TDP in watts and adding 5 watt for SSD's, 6.5 watt for a 2.5 hard disk, 6 wear

for the sound card and 3 watt for a USB device. My 6th generation i3 with a M.2 SSD and a

2.5 inch spinning drive ran on the sBooster BOTW P&P ECO 18-19 volts, but the 26 watts

might not be sufficient for more powerful systems. If you google for Intel NUC linear

power supply you will find more powerful options. Do bare in mind though that all linear power

supplies are equal but some are more equal than others..

Now we have a more or less clean signal going asynchronously over USB to the DAC. This can

can be powered in several ways. If it is powered over USB, the quality of the power supply

you use for the Intel NUC is even more critical. If it is powered by its own internal power

supply, there is not much to improve. But if your DAC uses a wall wart power supply,

chances are it is a poor performing switching mode power supply too. In many cases replacing

this power supply by a audio-grade power supply does improve the audio quality considerable.

You will not use the USB cable that came with the DAC but use an audio grade cable. I use

the Audioquest Cinnamon USB, it is affordable and offers good quality. You could try devices

to further clean the signal like the AudioQuest Jitterbug and the Alldac ADQ galvanic separator.

See the links in the show notes. There are other practical considerations. If your NUC

has a fan inside, you might want to place it so that this sound is damped while at the

same time letting enough cool air flow to it. Also hard disks can be noisy, another

thing to keep in mind.

All those problems don't occur when you place the Intel NUC Roon ROCK computer in

another room and use a device near your stereo that receives the audio bits over the network.

Roon has developed a very sophisticated protocol especially for this job, called Roon Advanced

Audio Transport, RAAT for short. It doesn't only send audio data to the playback device

but also remote control signals, including volume. If the playback device supports it,

you can have Roon control the - often analogue - volume control of the playback device. So

there is no longer the need to use DSP power to level all music, something I dreamed of

for years. Currently most devices don't support this, but that is a matter or time. Furthermore

RAAT also sends some metadata like track name, album name, artist and cover art. Again, this

is not yet beneficiary to most devices. And talking of devices, what are those?

The simplest form a of Roon Endpoint, as Roon calls any device that offers playback over

the Roon software, is the networked audio adaptor. You could say it is a USB output

that is driven over the network. A Raspberry Pi with a HAT board that offers either SPDIF

output or contains a d/a-converter is a networked audio adaptor. Using the SPDIF output to drive

a DAC can offer rather good quality. HAT boards - the expansion board standard for the Raspberry

Pi - containing a DAC offer far lower quality. If you want higher quality, devices like the

Sonore MicroRendu and the SOtM-sMS-200 offer rather clean USB feeds but you do need a DAC

that has a USB input. See the show notes for links to reviews. There also are quality devices

that offer SPDIF and/or even I2S feeds. Reviews are in the making. With the exception of the

Raspberry Pi solutions, networked audio adaptors are relatively expensive solutions compared

to DAC's and DAC/amp combinations that incorporate a Roon Ready receiver. But they might be a

better solution if you already have a quality DAC of want a free choice of DAC. Do realise

that when the power supplies of the DAC and the networked audio adaptor are poor quality

switching mode supply, these will again reduce the audio quality and should be replaced for

audio grade power supplies.

RoonLabs developed the Roon Ready label so that incorporating a Roon Ready function into

a device is rather low cost. This means that over time there will be more and more DAC's

that have a network interface and Roon Ready support. The potential audio quality when

using the Intel NUC Roon ROCK server is extremely high as can be concluded from supporters of

the format like Audio Alchemy, Auralic, Brinkmann, dCS, Krell, Meridian, MQB, NAD, PS-Audio and

other high end brands. The advantage of using the network is not only that the server can

be placed at great distance, but also that the ethernet protocol, like async USB, is

asynchronous, meaning the clock in the playing device rules. At the lower end the Bluesound

program of streamers are also Roon Ready and thus can be used as Roon endpoints. And I

already mentioned the Raspberry Pi with a HAT board containing a d/a-converter as truly

low end solution. Again, do realise that when the power supply of the DAC is a poor quality

switching mode supply, it will again reduce the audio quality and thus should be replaced

for an audio grade power supply.

Many DAC's also offer volume control and thus can function as preamp. But some brands

announced integrated amps: Bel Canto announced the ACI600 integrated amp that not only is

Roon Ready but also MQA certified. At $ 25,000 it might not be within reach for many but

Elac has announced the DS-A101-G that will set you back a mere € 599 and offers a 2

x 100 watts BASH Tracking amp. In-between you find several NAD devices that can be made

Roon compatible by a Bluesound module. And the Bluesound amp versions must be mentioned

also.

This video is produced in july 2017 and at that moment no serious Roon Ready speakers

were on the market and only Elac has announced that a number of their speakers will become

available as active models that will use Wifi to receive Roon Ready signals. But rumours

are there on a number of brands. This might be a solution that is appreciated by many:

you only need to place the NUC with ROCK somewhere in the house, connected to the network while

in the living room only two active speakers need to be connected to the mains outlets.

Roon ROCK is available for some NASsen, so why not run it on a NAS? Well, the only reason

to do that is to be fashionable. To be able to tell your friends you have a NAS running.

And if that is what you want, that's fine. But do realise that Roon ROCK does require

at least an Intel i3 processor and the OS should be running on an SSD drive. Otherwise

Roon will be very slow or even unusable. NASses with those spec's are very expensive, far

more expensive than an Intel NUC computer. And don't forget, a NAS is essentially nothing

else than a computer that runs specific software for sharing volumes. The NUC running ROCK

is in fact also a NAS or even a server but then fully optimised as Roon music server.

I use an 8 terabyte USB drive connected to the NUC and have it backed up to a Drobo RAID

drive for security. But if you like, you can use a normal consumer grade NAS for storage

and the NUC running Roon as music server.

Using the network to separate the server from the audio components might be a very good

solution. Then a high quality power supply for the NUC might not provide quality improvement.

But like network cables and linear power supplies for switches, it might give improvement in

high quality set ups. Also consider that you can have a mix of qualities in the house.

The highest quality for the living - or listening room if you're lucky enough, lower quality

for the garage and study and basic quality for the children's rooms. Don't forget that

Roon also works perfectly with Sonos and Airplay equipment; it will automatically downsample

high-res music for both systems. You can set up an unlimited number of endpoints, combine

them in groups and send one of eight separate audio streams to each group. You can also

set EQ and other properties per endpoint. And that's all great but the real power

of Roon to me is the unsurpassed navigation and the metadata. Some say that $ 500 for

a lifetime subscription is too expensive. And it will be to some. But consider that

we payed lots more for quality cd-players and SACD-players that offered less quality

and now have no longer serviceable laser optics. I know people that have spent more on accessories

for their CD-player. And if you don't want to spend the money, that's fine too. Use

whatever you want to use but don't use the NL1601HBPROJECT promo code to test Roon free
