exceptionally pleased with our new and vibrant tourism division word is going out near and far of the remarkable activities and the beautiful places we have to offer as we share our city with our neighbors and visitors our local businesses benefit from their patronage we benefit because the world knows Sheboygan is a place to be from an engineering standpoint and careful planning and capitalization last year we worked on sidewalks to improve its aesthetics and safety we also work diligently on a resurfacing street program Washington Avenue resurfacing the PCC resurfacing program seawall construction project South Pier sidewalk and lots project comfort station project South Pier stockpile removal project and the splash pad project at end part we wisely invested approximately eight and a half million dollars to make our quality of life better this year we responded to the people's plea for tax relief as a council and within the capacity of our jurisdiction we did our share we had a zero percent increase in the levy but not by not increasing our expenditure from the prior year we saved the taxpayers dollar we save the taxpayer approximately 1.8 million dollars also the stormwater tax and the wheel tax were eliminated resulted in taxpayer savings of about one million seven hundred dollars additionally we adjusted the price of a new police station from 13 million to nine million dollars all this accounts for over eight million dollars of savings to the taxpayer more good news is the fact that we will begin construction of our new police station late this summer for nearly 50 years the new police station has been analyzed debated cost out wish for very soon our police officer will have a state of the arts police station at an affordable price to the taxpayer our police officers need not wait anymore this council has made it happen but let me talk about the future as a team we will continue our aggressive street repair and reconstruction program we will continue our sidewalk improvement program we will continue aggressively aggressively developing south pier and other development projects we will continue our comprehensive engineering plan we will continue to do all those things that improve the quality of life in sheboygan and we will continue to be fiscally responsible and responsive to the taxpayer our job is all about the taxpayer it's about our senior citizens who love sheboygan have done their share to make the city great and want to simply be able to afford to live here it's about our citizens who love sheboygan and work hard to provide for their families and simply want to be able to afford to live here our challenge our biggest challenge is the budget our annual expenditures far exceed our revenues we must always remember that the people have told us have told us plainly and quite frequently that we must carefully and creatively balance the services they need against their ability to pay for that reason I will once again ask the common council to pass a 0% increase in the levy for 2008 we will do our share to provide the tax release our citizen are asking for and tonight we challenge the other tax and jurisdictions to do the same it is important for our citizens to know that the city is only one of six entities the levy attacks against our hard-earned dollars the school district and the recreation department account for 38% of every tax dollar the county accounts for 22% late short technical college accounts for 6% of every tax dollar and the state accounts for 1% and finally the city accounts for only 33% of every tax dollar when this many taxing entities are taxing our citizens it's easy for our efforts to go unnoticed and perhaps at times unappreciated but we must stay the course and continue to be responsive to the people's plea for tax relief we are simply going to have to look for creative ways to make city government more efficient and more cost-effective that may require departmental adjustments sacrifices or new management plans our table of organization must be carefully scrutinized for possible cost savings and initiatives and in efficiencies all in all the way we do business in general must be critically analyzed in the face of facial constraints I ask you to work with me with no obligation to any interest group but the taxpayer recently I heard someone say the only interest group that really matters is a taxpayer folks I truly believe that I never want to forget whom I work for I never want to forget the people that elected me to do a job they trusted me to do I never want to forget the people who were struggling to make ends meet and look to us for some relief I will be their champion and I am not going to let them down Alderman I know you will too and finally good honest hard work is ahead of us I ask that God gives us strength to do what the people need us to do thank you have a good night moving on mayor's appointments attorney with me

Hello everyone, Myshell, Mr. Sivapai M. Matigar, I am working as an assistant professor in computer science and engineering department at Walsh and Insta of Technology, Solapur. I welcome to the session on uses of computer network. Learning outcome. At the end of this session, students will be able to describe the concept of computer networks and uses of computer network. Agenda about computer network, business applications, home applications, mobile users, social issues. These are the topics I am going to cover in this video. About computer network. Computer network is a set of computers connected together for the purpose of sharing the resources. What type of resources we have to share by using computer network? The computer network concept can be used in different places, like in a company they can use, the people they can use, in the social media they also, they can use the concept of computer network for sharing the resources. Two computers are said to be connected if and only if they are able to exchange the information. Then that concept we can call as in communication, they are usually connected together to make larger networks. With the internet, the most well known example is a network of network. Business application. Most companies have a substantial number of computers. Here are some uses they have given. First one is a resource sharing, sharing physical resources, network called VPN, client server model, client server model in was request and replies, communication, medium and last one is email and then desktop sharing also. First one is resource sharing in company and then people also they can use the computer network concept for sharing the resources while sending the data from one stations to another station or from one city to another city, then that time they can use the concept of resources sharing. Sharing physical resources, it means the user should have to send the data by using physical path. They can use any media for transmitting the data. Network called VPN that is virtual private network also they can use. Client server model they also can they can also use for transmitting the data. Client server model involves the request and replies. It means the client can sometimes send some data to the server, the server can reply based on the client request. Communication medium also they can use this one and then email and desktop sharing also. First one is business application content that is client and server. Client is the device it can use it can use to send the request from the local machine. Server is the device it can get the request from the client it can used in the resources machine or remote center machine. Client server model here the client is the client one and client two. These two clients can send the request to the server through network. The server can checks the client request based on the client request he can process it and then he can send the reply to both the client through network. This is a network with two clients and one server. Next one is client server model. This is a client machine and then this one is a server machine. The client can prepare the data that is by using client process after preparing the request data it can send in the form of request to the server. The server can process it and based on the client request he can send the reply to the client through network. Both these client and server can send the data and send the request and reply through network. This is a client server model involves request and reply. The third goal of goal for many companies are doing business electronically and this new model is called e-commerce and it has grown rapidly in recent years in electronic years. Like airlines, bookstores and other retailers have a discover e-commerce uses in many fields. Using computer network manufacturers can place order electronically as needed. If they want to order so many data or some other data that is available in online it means they can use the concept of computer network in a home applications they can order and then they can get the required data. Exist to remote information comes in many forms. It can be surfing the worldwide web for information or just for fun also. There are many professional organizations such as ACM, IEEE, CSI have all their journals and conference proceedings online. If any one user want to access the any one of the journals it may be the ACM journal, IEEE journal or CSI and then they can access the data wherever they want and then however of what type of data they can what of journal they want then they can access through online by using the concept of network. Next home applications this is a peer to peer communication. In a peer to peer system there are no fixed client and server. The client and server may sit anywhere and then any places and then they can easily access the data. If any one user want this user want to access the data from this one it means they can send the data and then they can receive by using this concept and this block diagram can indicates the peer to peer communication. This user can send the request to this user, this user can again the same they can send it to the next user, this user can they can forward the data to the next users. This is an peer to peer it means one to one communication may happen in this diagram. This is the table some forms of e-commerce. There are five e-commerce are there that full name and then example. The first one is B2C that is business to consumer ordering books online. This can be used B2C can be used for ordering the online books. B2C is a business to business it can be used car manufacturing order manufacture ordering tile form from suppliers, G2C government of consumer and then here it can be used government distributing tax form electronically. C2C this is in consumer to consumer and second hand products online if the user want to sell the second hand product online it means they can use consumer to consumer concept P2P that is peer to peer it can be used music sharing. If the user want to share the music online it means they can use P2P that is peer to peer concept. Next question answer session think and write it can contain one question list and explain some social networking sites as used for networking. Now pause the video and answer the above question. The answer for above question is Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, Wikipedia. These are the website can be used for getting the information from the network. Next mobile users mobile computers such as laptop and handle computers are one of the fastest growing segments of the computers industry. Since having a wired connection is impossible in cars, boards and airplanes there is a lot of interest in wireless network. If they are using wired connection it is not possible to access any data in these cars, boards, airlines and then if they are using wireless concept they can access the data anywhere and then. Now wireless hotspots based on the 802.11 standard or another kind of wireless network for mobile computer mobile computers smart phones such as a popular iPhone combines aspects of mobile phones and mobile computers. So, the table the combination of wireless networks and mobile computing. Here wireless no and then mobile no that is what type of application it means desktop computers in office. In this one we will not use wireless as well as mobile also. Wireless no and then mobile is as that is the example or application of this one is notebook computers used in a hotel room ok and then wireless is necessary mobile is not necessary the application is a networking on wired building ok wireless wireless is as and then mobile is also as the stored inventory in with a handled computers. This is a combination of wireless and mobile computing ok social issues the computer network can be used the computer network concept can be used in a social issues to get the information from the media. Nowadays a lot of things is happened in social networking and in political places also by using the computer network concept they can get the data through network ok social issues network, neutrality, profiling, users and then phishing. These are the social issues through you these points we can get the social issues or what happening in the social can get these points from the social users ok. These are the references I use for preparing the above PPT. Thank you.

So today we're going to be talking about options volume and options open interest. So these terms are used to understand the environment of the options contracts you're trading. The assumption here though is that you already know what an options contract is. So if you haven't looked into those yet, please follow the links. We have lots of other videos that explain options basics 101, how to buy an options contract for what means and all that. Once you've watched those come back here, then we can talk about volume and open interest. For those of you who already understand what an options contract is, let's get right into things. So let's go with a couple definitions first. So in terms of volume, right, options volume is the measure of total numbers of contracts or shares that are traded within the day. So we're talking about an asset like stocks, that's just the number of shares that are traded. So if I sell 100 shares, that's a volume that goes up by 100. You buy 100 shares, volume goes up by 100. Okay, options contracts, this works the same way. But with stocks, there's no net effect on the overall number of shares available. So the float of shares out there stays the same. So when you look at the volume of stocks that are traded, it does tell you people's interest in buying and selling that stock, but it doesn't necessarily affect the inherent environment or risk or potential for gain. With options trading, however, volume works differently. Because with options, the volume dictates how many contracts there are. Because we can open, close and liquidate contracts, options are not the same as a float of shares. So volume is also what makes the price go up or down. So as people want to buy more options contracts, there may be options contracts that are opened, the open interest increases, which we'll get to a little bit later. But the volume increases and the price goes up because it's a valuable commodity that everyone wants to buy. The higher the volume, though, the more transactions on this specific contract, the higher the liquidity. So you may have heard the term liquidity before. Liquidity basically means that there is access to this contract. So higher liquidity means that it's easier to enter and exit because there's more people looking to buy and sell this commodity. Higher liquidity also means that the spread between bid and ask. So the bid is the offer that buyers offer up in order to buy the contract. And the ask, which is what the seller asks in terms of price to sell their contracts to. And when there's lots of volume, there's lots of interest, this bid ask spread. The price difference between these two will be a lot closer as numerous transactions will take place. OK, so here we're going to go back to our previous screen here, right? And let's take away these slides here and go back to our window. So a window here, you can see that I'm so Yahoo Finance. OK, so super easy to just Google Yahoo Finance and you can look up any ticket that you want. We're just here on the S&P 500. So spy, nothing crazy here. Now, lots of lots of little tabs here, but we're just going to go to the tap that says options, right? So we're going to go get the options contracts on this. So today is November 18th. We're just going to scroll forward to, let's say, the end of the next week. So let's just go December 1st. OK, so we're going to look at options contracts there. So these are the last traded dates on the left hand side. You can see the strikes here. This is far in the money. Last traded price, volume, open interest. So we're going to scroll down, scroll down, scroll down to in the buddy, right? Which looking for about 450, 451. So look at this right here, this column here, this is the volume. This is the open interest. So before we get into this, let's take a look at what open interest means. So we are back here and we are going to go and options and open interest. So open interest is something that is unique to only the options market. Open interest is a measure of the total number of open options contracts, but only of a particular strike, a particular expiration date. So that doesn't mean that all spy calls are up. If open interest is up, it just means on this particular contract. So let's just say we're playing a specific ticker like say Walmart or Starbucks or something like that, and they have earnings report coming out. Lots of people will look to buy slightly out of the money call options. So those that are just at the money and up might be something that is high open interest as people are looking to buy them. But that doesn't mean that something that is numerous strikes away far out of the money is going to be of a high open interest. Next, when new contracts are opened, open interest will increase. When contracts are closed, open interest will decrease. So this tells us that the flow of transactions seen in volume doesn't necessarily tell us what open interest will be, right? Because people could be buying, buying, buying, buying, buying. And volume will be high and open interest will be high. But people could also be selling, selling, selling, selling and then open interest will decrease. So knowing the volume and knowing the open interest of the specific options contract you're trading will tell you a lot about how to trade that asset. Generally speaking though, you should take into account that only options with over 500 open interest will have enough liquidity for you to enter and exit easily. If it's lower than that, it's highly recommended to not trade as your spread will be wide and you might open that position and be at a significant loss already. Let's go through some examples. So if the price of an asset is increasing, right? The price is going up and call contract open interest is also increasing. That seems to reason that we can assume that people are bullish. People are looking to buy. People think it's going to go up and so the open interest is going up, right? So this is a relatively straightforward example, but we're going to get into some more complicated ones just to show how this can differ. So that's the easy one. Let's look at the next one here. Next up, if the price of the asset is increasing, but the call contract open is decreasing, right? That simply might mean that people are not so bullish anymore. People are thinking it's a reversal. People are thinking that we're coming up on resistance and people are closing out their call contracts. So if you notice that volume is still pretty high, price is increasing, but contracts open interest is decreasing. That might be a good reason to exit your position if you're long. Moving on, we've got another one here. Let's see. So if the price of an asset is decreasing, so now the price is going down, but call contracts, open interest is also decreasing, right? What would that mean? Now, that could mean that call contracts are being liquidated, right? Because people aren't entering this position. This position is getting closed off. The only reason why people would close is if they're in profit or they're hitting a stop loss. So if price is decreasing, call options are certainly not hitting a take profit point. So that means that this is probably hitting some stops. We're running those stops and people are closing out their contracts. So this could mean a short term bearish move as people are hitting stops and we're sinking down. But as these call options get liquidated, we're also thinking that this might potentially be a reversal point. So that's kind of a few different ways that you can take a look at options volume and options open interest in order to help you discern whether you should enter, exit, or stay in a trade, okay?

Construction of DCU's new student centre is officially underway following the first demolition of a wall last week. The new building is set to be worth 14 million and Student Union President Dylan Kehoeff ensures that it'll all be worth the wait. In February 2018 DCU will have the most modern and the best student centre in the country. The look and feel of the building. We just got images which will be released quite soon and they'll be sending around to the student body. When we got images of what it will look like and it will be phenomenal. The new building will have an entrepreneurship and innovation suite as well as a student leadership and life skill centre. It will also feature a new radio station for DCU FM as part of an arts and culture hub. In the meantime businesses have relocated while construction takes place and a marquee has been put up for student union and society events. Both businesses and the SC were coping but how is it affecting the students of DCU? That's grand, sure. It's good to see new facilities being built on the campus. It's a bit of a nuisance at times but it's not too bad, it doesn't get in the way that much. It's really annoying when you're driving in and you have to wait at the traffic lights and builders and just everything's different and I don't really like it. I think it's good because you see improvements in the campus but also there is kind of obstructions in the way you have to go around them. So that's about it but I think it is good. I'm Michelle Martin for DCU TV News.


This video is sponsored by Squarespace. For many years now it's been my dream to build an observatory in my backyard. Once I started getting serious about this goal I did two things. One, I started touring other people's backyard observatories to ask them questions and try to figure out exactly what I wanted in my own dream observatory. And two, I was renting at the time so I started looking for properties to buy that were both in my price range but also had dark skies. And about a year ago I found this property in rural New Hampshire that I'm living in now and it was near perfect. I really liked the house, the yard, it was a mortal three sky so that's quite dark for the east coast and it was also in my price range and I was luckily the only offer so I was able to buy it. The only problem was a year ago I still had a day job in the Boston area and this house is about two hours away from Boston and I didn't want to make that commute of course that would be four hours of driving every day and I also knew long term I didn't want to pay rent down in Boston and also pay a mortgage up here and own a house I didn't live in. So but the timing worked out such that right around that same time that I bought this house I was making just enough from running this YouTube channel and then the associated Patreon community that I could actually quit my day job as an astronomy librarian in Boston and move up here to New Hampshire full-time. So starting in January I did just that and ever since I've been thinking about this I've been saving and planning for this backyard observatory and and now I'm finally in the position to start building it. To save money on the build I'm doing all the work myself rather than hiring any professionals and I'll be taking you along with me in this build. I'm a complete novice pretty much I mean I'm a little bit handy but I don't I've never built something like this. This is part one of I don't know how many parts probably three or four or five and this is the current state of the project and it may not look like much but it's already been a ton of work enough to make a full video between the two concrete piers including the footers underground this is literally over one ton of concrete that I mixed up and poured myself. 27 of these 80 pound bags of quickcrete went into just these two piers. But let's take a step back starting with how did I pick this spot for the observatory? For my yard it wasn't too hard. My process was I tried astrophotography for many different spots around the yard and by far my favorite was this one for a number of reasons. One is that it's very protected I have the house on one side and the forest on the other which means I barely get any wind in this spot. Another reason I like it is it has the best view in the entire yard to the north and I love the northern constellations like Cepheus and Ursa Minor and Cygnus and things like that and it's still quite good to the south. If I was really prioritizing the south I would put my observatory up on this hill over here but that's much more in the open and then I'd also have to be building on this steep hill which seems like a lot harder as someone who's not particularly experienced in building. Is this location I picked perfectly ideal? No there's always going to be compromises. The biggest issue with this spot is my sky being blocked to the west as the forest starts about 10 meters over there. I can live with that though I'm going to roll off my roof in that direction and it'll it'll work out. Now after I pick this spot as the best place to put my observatory I had a quandary. Very close to my ideal spot was an existing shed that happened to be about the right size for my observatory so I briefly considered trying to retrofit the shed into a roll-off roof observatory by chopping off the roof and adding rollers. After looking at it some more though and also talking to different people including a local architect Timothy Emerson I realized that was just not viable. For one thing the shed didn't have a real foundation it was just sitting on a few cement blocks on the ground and it was not in the best condition. It was over 30 years old the roof was sagging in the middle and I wanted to do isolated piers for the telescope and thinking about it it's much easier to build those first and then build the observatory building around the isolated piers rather than the other way around trying to retrofit them into an existing building. So I decided to demolish this shed because it was going to be too close to where I wanted to put the observatory to have two buildings right there and it would just get in the way. The demolition process went fairly smoothly it was a lot of hard work and it took a little bit longer than expected the main tools I found helpful if you're needing to ever take down a shed yourself are a small pry bar for taking off the roofing shingles a long wrecking bar for getting nailed lumber apart and a cordless drill for taking out any screws that were used and then of course saws for cutting things up the saws I found most useful were my circular saw and then about halfway through I did break down and buy a reciprocating saw because I got tired of using a manual saw for cuts that weren't going to work with the circular saw and the reciprocating saw was especially great when I was taking apart the floor. I rented a truck from Home Depot to haul off some of the debris to my local dump but I also wanted to reuse as much of the shed as I could so one project I took on is I built a dual chambered compost bin with the walls and the doors of the shed that's something I'd already wanted for my garden and I also saved some various scrap wood to make braces for my telescope here but that's jumping ahead a little bit because the next step was actually now that I had the shed demolished was staking out the footprint for the observatory and to do that you need plans. Now I've collected various plans for all of Roof Observatories I had some that my friend Jay Savilano sent me I ordered some from Backyard Observatories out of Ohio and I downloaded some from Skyshed out of Canada and all of these have been super helpful but instead of just going with one off-the-shelf plans I'm going to go a bit more custom and I'm taking ideas from each to incorporate into my design but the the main thing that's been super helpful in designing these plans is my friend Dan Mintz is building an observatory in his backyard at the same time as me and we happen to actually want identical size features we both want you know two pure roll-off roof and so we've been collaborating on all of this and consulting with Timothy Emerson the architect I had on my channel to make sure that we're doing everything the right way and that has been great to have a friend to spitball with who's going through the same thing that's been motivating and time-saving because we can split up some of the work learn from each other's mistakes and all of that as we go so what are we building it's a roll-off roof shed style building it's going to be 10 feet wide by 14 feet long or in metric that's about three by four meters and inside the roll-off roof shed are two concrete telescope piers that are completely isolated from one another and also from the building so to know where to dig the holes for these two isolated telescope piers we have to start by staking out and squaring the footprint of the building and for that all you need is a tape measure some brightly colored string and some wooden stakes you measure out the width and the length and then through the Pythagorean theorem you know the length of the hypotenuse for a right triangle so one half of the rectangle basically and so in this case if everything is squared up in terms of the stakes the hypotenuse should be exactly 206.5 inches so now all I have to do is adjust the stakes until everything is squared up like that in both directions and once that's done I can run string everywhere measure out exactly where the piers should go within the rectangle by again running string I know that they should go straight down the middle of the width so I stretch a string across at five feet in terms of dividing the width and then in the other direction the length I know that they should go 54.75 inches in from the west and east walls respectively so now that I've marked all of that out I have these sort of crosshairs made with the strings and I know exactly where I can start digging I'm using a post hole digger and a long pry bar for loosening up rocks to do this work and you might wonder why I'm not using a motorized auger or a miniskid in talking to Timothy Emerson who is from the New Hampshire area he confirmed my suspicion that augers aren't really an option here because there are just too many large rocks in the soil and so you would just end up beating the auger bit and not really getting anywhere a miniskid would be an option but it's quite a bit more expensive to rent one than just buying these two tools and it means over excavating basically build digging a much wider hole than needed and then having to do a lot of backfilling while the way with manual post hole digging tools I'm going to try to dig is fairly clean straight holes and then simply fill them with concrete so no backfilling necessary and the first hole went very smoothly and in about an hour I dug up a nice straight four foot deep hole about 14 inches in diameter the second hole ended up being a huge time waster about two feet down I ran into this huge rock that was too heavy to lift out I had to expand my hole to about three feet wide to even try to get it out and then I spent a long time easing it up with using these wooden boards and levers and other rocks to keep it from falling back down eventually after a long battle and a little help from Maggie we got it out of there stupid rock but now my hole was much bigger than I wanted I did have a backup plan if I did end up over excavating like this and that was to put a 12 inch sauna tube in the ground and then backfilling and tamping the dirt around it but in the end I didn't use this backup plan because I didn't end up even using this hole at all because at 44 inches deep digging a bit further I ran into a mystery black pipe and I very much didn't expect to run into any pipes in this part of the yard because I thought I knew where my sewer pipe my well pipe my gray water pipe all were I could see where the utilities like electricity and internet were coming into the house above ground from power poles and those are also on the opposite side of the house but I went through some old rather cryptic notes that were left by a previous owner of the house a couple owners back and I found mention of a runoff pipe for the water well so that's what I imagine this is what I ran into and I didn't want to screw that up and the truth is this hole was a mess anyways because of the big boulder so I just filled the entire hole back in that meant I now had to move the footprint of the observatory over about four feet and dig a new second hole luckily that was a super smooth dig everything went really well and I uncovered something fairly interesting I'm not sure what this is but I found it quite deep it came out in one of my last shovelfuls and it looks like some kind of hand forged linked chain of some kind I know this property has been in use for the past 200 years and I've been told this was once the site of a logging operation so if anyone knows based on those scant clues what this might be let me know in the comments the next morning I woke up early to a full day of working with concrete it's my first time really doing anything with concrete so I watched a bunch of videos about how to work with it and I started with exactly the minimum amount of water suggested on the package of this ready mix concrete which was six pints per bag or 2.8 liters and then from there I started slowly adding water until each batch had the right consistency which is sort of like a lumpy oatmeal it will hold its shape if you mold it or squeeze it with a gloved hand but it will still sort of pour although in a fairly kind of splattering kind of way I was initially filling the holes by transferring the concrete from the mixer to a small bucket but since I knew I wanted to get this done in one day and it was taking a long time I started using the messier but faster method of moving the mixer right over the hole and dumping the entire batch in once the holes were about two-thirds full I sunk four foot pieces of rebar and I used these plastic snap pieces they call rebar chairs to connect a few pieces of rebar together I used four pieces per hole and the idea here is they have the rebar sticking out of the concrete footer like this so then when I pour the above ground part the rebar connects the footer and the concrete pier above ground I leveled out the top of the footer I smoothed it out a bit with some cardboard and then I put these 10 inch cardboard tubes on top of the footers the popular brand names for these cardboard forms is Sano tube but mine were from Home Depot and made by the same company that makes the concrete mix which is quick treat of the quick treat it became apparent rather quickly that my system of moving two bags up at a time in the wheel barrel was wasting a lot of time so I decided to make a mess out of my Subaru and use my Subaru to haul the bags from my garage up to the observatory site uh and that that worked a lot better because it was a lot faster for pouring the concrete into the tubes you need the tubes to be braced which just means you need to make a little temporary structure out of wood uh like two by fours and that brace will hold the form securely in place while you pour the concrete into the tube so I used scrap wood from the shed I demolished to make some quick braces just screwing them together really quickly with wood screws and then I was ready to start filling the tubes and this was a lot slower than filling the holes because you have to do it more carefully I used a just a garden spade to do it and a step ladder uh will help of course but it goes pretty quick because there are only 10 inches in diameter so each of my um holes which were 14 inches in diameter took 10 bags each while the 10 inch tubes only took three and a half bags each of concrete mix now when it got close to the top I sunk in my assembled pure plates from Dan's pure plates and I just covered the hardware in plastic wrap and marked with tape how far to sink the j bolts and then I leveled it out using wooden stakes as shims to keep it in place on top of the tube in retrospect this was a bad plan I should have spent more time planning this part of the process it all worked out fine because the pure plates have plenty of adjustment options but I could have made it look aesthetically better if I'd built a wooden template that exceeded the diameter of the tube and then spent time tapping the tube to get the concrete top more smooth uh followed by lots of centering and alignment uh after the pure plates are in you can just cover it all up and wait a few days I covered with plastic trash bags and tarps I waited three full days and then you can uncover make sure everything worked you can try putting your mount on and then you want to peel off the cardboard form after a few days and you should have a super solid telescope pier now if you're eager to use your pier with an actual telescope on it I'd suggest waiting at least one week technically the concrete mix takes 28 days to fully cure but I've read that after seven days it's 90 cured so it's probably safe to use after about a week it's been four days for me now so I still have three more days before I can try mine out fully loaded up I've only put mounts on just to make sure that it all seemed functional uh that I could level everything out and point north that all seemed good so that's where I'm at as of mid-September I've put in my order for lumber at my local lumber yard I hope to get that delivered soon so I can actually start on the building which you basically build from the ground up you start with the foundation so I'm going to be using concrete footers and a gravel pad and then you make the floor on top of your foundation then you add the walls and then the roller tracks and finally the roof this video is sponsored by Squarespace I obviously like having control over the build of my observatory that's part of why I'm doing all the work myself but I also like control over how my photographic work is presented and if you'd like that too I highly suggest setting up a website with your own domain on Squarespace I've done just that on my personal portfolio here and it's super easy to add my new work because of the drag and drop engine on Squarespace I can also make changes to the presentation very easily and intuitively thanks to the flexible but powerful website templates all the features that you would need

It includes about the course. It includes the course staff that has been responsible for this course. Can we move on? Great. Now, once you have this, you need to go back to view courseware which is which means that your registration has not gone through. You need to re-register. Have you activated your, can you all see this please? Okay. Please click on view course. On your screens, you will have exactly this. If you click on view course. To give you a brief about what this page is about, the cursor is on course info. Course info is basically all about the news, the announcements that the course staff want to give you. It is about, suppose, maybe they, you know, we are about to launch a course, what the course is about, who the teachers are, who the students could probably be, or an announcement, say the quiz is expected next week or the exam is expected next week, all these things happen in course info. As teachers, as students, this is a very important page for people to see. Okay. This is called the course info page. At this point, this page is all about what the demo course is. As you scroll down, you will see a video there. You will also see something, an introduction to what this course is about. This page can be modified as and when the course proceeds. It's basically meant for any announcement that the teacher wants to give to the students. It is meant as an announcement page. That is what course info is all about. We now move on to courseware, the first tab, courseware. Now courseware, once you click on it, gives you information about the contents of the course. The course is split up into units called sections, subsections, where the teachers, lectures are built in the form of sections and subsections. Now courseware gives you a breakup of all those units. It explains to you what you want to see. It tells you lecture one or unit one according to the chronological order from one to ten or whatever. You can see that here. You have lecture one which is introductory topics, lecture two, and so on. Is this what you're seeing? Experiencing course content. Please click on that to experiment. Come on, you need to figure out how you can go about this. You click on that. It will give you a tour. It will tell you how to navigate through a course. It's a user-friendly site. You can click on the lecture numbers. You can click on the units to figure out how and when this thing plays. The demo course basically gives you an introduction to this entire site and tells you how to navigate through this course. So you play on that video. This is called a video lecture. You play on that video lecture and you have Hi and welcome to the IIT Bombay Egg demonstration course in slow motion. So there is a function there where the cursor is. Where you can modify your speed, where you can control your speed. You can make the person talk fast, slow. You also have the pause or the play button. That is where the I am Guaiji and I'm here to help you understand how easy it is. And she's paused. So these are functions which you can play with. Then you have the transcripts. For people who cannot understand accents. For people who cannot understand what the teacher is saying. People who are hearing impaired who are not able to understand. These transcripts are exactly for those. Okay, so these transcripts, believe me, are extremely useful and they are very, very time-consuming exercise. So these transcripts are extremely important for teachers as well as students.  As the person is conducting the video, the transcripts get highlighted. Let me just show them. So let's get started. Let me show you how all the parts work together. You can see that that part is getting highlighted. You want to skip this video at any time and get a first-hand experience of this demonstration course. Okay, so you click anywhere on the transcript. You click anywhere on the transcript. Please click there and the person will talk exactly there. Now these are functions that you can play around with. Have you clicked there? The course wiki which is a very helpful resource acts as a knowledge base for your course. Now that you've seen the introductory note you can move on to homework one which is an assignment or an exercise. Homework one, your exercise. You can see it's your first grade. Please note this is something which is important for everyone to understand. These grades are what make your IIT Bombay x.in grades. So these need to be compulsorily attempted. This is a demo course so it's all right. But any other course, these grades are the ones which make your final grade. So each and every assignment or quiz needs to be attempted. Okay, so this is for example one of them where you have very simple questions. You also have bullets. Now suppose we were to mark say which of them is not a river. Say Indian Ocean and you can check. You click on check it will give you what it is. Suppose you want to see the correct answer. Click on show answer which is the largest state. The answer Rajasthan is not correct.  So check is whether your answer is correct. Show answer is for the explanation of the answer along with the correct answer. Okay now this is called a quiz in IIT Bombay x.in language or an assignment and this happens with the discretion of the teacher. The teacher decides when and how to give these assignments or quizzes and attempting these quizzes is a must for the final grade. Now there are many ways the student can participate in this whole course. One of them is of course this. Going through the video lectures, going through the assignments, going through the quizzes. Another very important feature in this site is the discussion forum. Now students have a lot of doubts. Students feel that they need to interact with their teachers. When you have face to face communication you know the student comes out and asks you doubts. What is it that you do here? Here you have something called the discussion forum. The discussion forum, can you see the tab please? Can you click on that tab? Once you click on that this is what you get. The discussion forum is where the students can discuss problems, can discuss solutions, can put in questions to the teachers, can discuss things amongst themselves. This is exactly that particular forum where such discussions happen and it's a very important feature of this site. Very very important where we encourage students and teachers to come in a collective discussion. Okay so you can see that there are many posts, many responses to those posts which are already there in this demo course. You can read along if you so wish. Now to understand the student's progress in the particular course, please click on progress. Please note that the progress tab or the progress page depends on how the student has performed in the quizzes. So like I said I repeat you're attempting the quizzes or the student's attempting the quizzes is a must to show a progress record. If the student has not attempted a quiz there'll be nothing which will show and obviously at the end of it certification is a big question mark. Okay so this is what we'll show if the student attempts those quizzes. This is called the progress page. This will show you how the student has performed homework one, homework two and so on, an average and total. It's pretty reader friendly should not be too much of a problem. At the end of it if you have completed the course successfully, I mean if you have attempted all the quizzes, all the quizzes, you could have got brilliant marks, you could have got bad marks, it does not matter. If you have attempted all the quizzes you get your final grade. In this case this person has got just 18 percent okay which was required for that certificate. So he has got it. This is what you will view. You will get this particular message on your dashboard and in case your grades are ready, it's time for your certificate, it's time yes. You need to go to your dashboard.  If you have attempted all your quizzes you will get this. On your dashboard. She wants to know how to check your grades. How do we know? My answer is that you need to complete your quizzes, you need to complete your course in order to be able to check your grades. Please note that you need to complete your course. We are not talking of the demo course. The demo course does not have a certification. It is just a demo course. Okay any other course which you have registered in or will register in. You need to complete it in order to get a certificate. Okay once you have a grade you can see that orange tab there which says download your certificate.  Would you like to download your certificate? This is what you will get. Okay you want to download your certificate. Click on that download button. You may not get it at this point. This is just what we are demonstrating. You may not have this here simply because you have not attempted the quizzes. Okay so download and this is a certificate. This is a mock certificate. This is a demo certificate. This is not the real one. Okay so this is the certificate you get at the end. So I have been asked to say this again. You get a certificate only if you attempt all the quizzes. Please note you need to attempt the quizzes in order to get this beautiful certificate. Okay so please note attempting quizzes is mandatory in order to get the certificate. Somebody wants to know if she can choose any course. What happens is the enrollment dates for those courses are closed so you cannot be using that. So the only course which you can actually register for now is the demo course. The other dates are all closed. They are beyond your reach at this point. Yeah you can. No no no so there are courses. There are two kinds of courses. One anybody can join. Other kind of courses only by invitation. Okay now all of you for this technical communication course will be automatically enrolled by invitation. Okay all of you including the people that you approve. Those are the teachers. You and those teachers you are already approved in a sense. The teachers who come and when you register them get the payment and once you approve them we will take their We will ask them to log in to IIT Bombay X first. Okay exactly the same process. Now we have asked you you are all approved teachers. Okay let's say you have paid money. Okay and you are all approved teachers now. We asked you to log in to the IIT Bombay X site and create a user ID with the same email address. Okay then you can't do anything more than that now. After a week or two we will look at the registered applicants like you are all registered now. We will take your email address and enroll at the back end because you're all coming to this course by invitation. Now for example there is you have a colleague in your college who also wants to sit through this course and that colleague is not a regular participant of the workshop. Okay that colleague is not a regular participant of the workshop. He or she cannot view this course. This course for the first time it's going to be only by invitation. From January onwards we will make it periodic and we'll decide the time depending on feedback we get from you. But at the moment this course is only by invitation which means that even you cannot enroll to this course whenever it comes up. Currently our technical communication course has not come up. It's not yet come up. It'll come up in a day or two. But even if it comes up you can only see that there is a course called like like all the courses that you're seeing here. Yeah so here you see there is there are some courses like this computer programming. This says this is a T10KT workshop. Now just as you're doing technical communication this is a invite only course for people of that workshop. Now there are two computer programming courses. One is by invitation only. The second thing is anybody can join but at the moment for that course the enrollment is closed. Okay so there are two kinds of courses one by invitation only and for which you cannot do yourself we will do at the back end. Okay now a similar procedure will happen once you approve the teachers who are coming to your college. Let's say you approve them in our NMICT website. After a week or so those teachers will have to register themselves in this site and create a user ID that is very very important. User ID is not created automatically. They have to create user ID just as the way you did it now. After you they have to create a user ID okay we will enroll them at the back end. Okay by that time if there are other courses that are available like this computer programming course was available for anybody to join. Okay if there are other courses anybody is free to join. Any courses where any course where enroll now is there okay you can enroll for that course without payment of anything if you complete it you will get a certificate all that is there. But any course which says enrollment only by invitation you cannot do it. We will do it at the back end and you will once we'll let you know you will get an email after which when you log into your dashboard you will see that course on your page. Is that clear? One more about the grading policy. The grading policy for this course technical communication is that there will be say 10 quizzes I'm saying for example. If there are 10 quizzes in each of the quiz you have to get 40 percent. Okay it's not overall average 40 percent it's each of the quiz 40 percent and these are very trivial quizzes like fill in the blanks match the following and you will have multiple number of attempts. The idea is not to penalize you for not knowing it's because sometimes we make a trivial mistake so you will get enough number of chances. That's not the point. The point is that you should have gone through all the material not you basically those teachers when those teachers come back you are already familiar with most of the material now because you're here. Now those teachers who come in December should have gone through every single video which is why you should impress upon them that unless they clear those quizzes each quiz with 40 percent marks okay they will not get a certificate that's very important. It's very quizzes are very trivial it's not to test really it is basically for them to engage them in the video okay. So please impress upon the teachers that they have to attempt everything you'll have multiple number of attempts to clear that's not issue but just attempt and clear it and for clearing that you need to have looked at the video and then you know that when they come in December to your classes they are reasonably prepared. NMEICT second one is yesterday Moodal 2015 correct and today IIT Bombay X correct to how I am going to interrelate this you don't have to interrelate all you need to do is ensure that you have a same email ID okay across the three courses we'll take care of that okay. Password you keep anything add on mind email ID has to be the same okay we will we will make that interrelation you don't have to worry say suppose an assignment has been posted yes okay he'll be posted on it they may tell that say there's a video lecture here okay following the video lecture there's a quiz can you show that one of them so for example week six there was a video following in following week six there is a quiz so this quiz is like short quizzes can you show the quiz so these quizzes are fill in the blanks match the following kind of quizzes along with that you will be provided a link which will directly take you to the Moodle course where you have to submit a detail assignment okay so we will put up that link there that'll be like a question but you will not have anything to answer there it will be something that text there which if you click it'll go to the Moodle page where you have to log in again and then you submit it there okay so are we are are we expecting some assignments in the Moodle course in the Moodle platform and some assignments are going to be given in the IIT Bombay X that's correct so I'll just repeat the question are there going to be assignments both in IIT Bombay X as well as Moodles yes very much IIT Bombay X which you're seeing now are very very short assignments like fill in the blanks match the following true or false the Moodle assignments are detailed assignments you have to work on it you have to submit a small essay which will be peer evaluated okay so the demonstration of peer evaluation that you saw yesterday is precisely for this purpose there'll be two assignments one is online assignment the second we call it as a home assignment which you do at home and submit in Moodle okay we do at home in a sense it's a longer assignment it's not like instantaneous fill in the blanks these instantaneous fill in the blanks are simply recollection of facts whatever you heard last 10 minutes but it doesn't go into applying those things there's no application of knowledge that you gain you just recollect facts so this one is going to be application of basically writing something or you make a presentation file PPT okay so and you submit the PDF file and others will evaluate so that will happen only in Moodle I just want to add one more thing to your you said you'll have three accounts you will have three accounts that's correct Moodle NMICT and IIT Bombay X in Moodle you will have two courses you as workshop coordinators will have two courses in Moodle okay whereas all of the teachers will have only one course in Moodle one course in IIT Bombay X and their NMICT login correct so there are two courses here coordinator workshop in coordinator workshop the only participants are this 120 people in this course which you saw yesterday so this is what you saw yesterday you had some general information and peer review example now this course coordinator's workshop for IST STP is only for you the 5000 teachers will not come here okay this is a forum where we as instructors will share some material with you okay we might share some tutorial problems and possible solutions which you can use for your December workshop so this is like instructors we are also instructors now right you are instructors for the December workshop and we are all having a forum to share you can ask questions which everybody can see and we'll ask post answers where everybody can see we'll post some material which everybody can use this is only for instructors right we are all instructors the second course is this just the technical communication this is coordinator this is technical communication now here at the moment there are none but here all this 5000 people who are registered in IIT Bombay X will also come here right these are all these teachers including you so this course will be used for submitting detail assignments detail assignments in this course where peer evaluation will happen this course is a forum for we to contact you and you to contact us as instructors as co-instructors actually almost almost all the three things actually are there can you give us a clear picture I think all almost all of them are here in Moodal mark and these three things actually please give us clear thing in type prepare matter so that we can do it this all will be there because now the dimension also I think many of them are not got the internet I know I know that's fine because problem is that we could not be able to make it please do it properly actually we won't expect yeah yeah we will have it written I'm just that since you are here okay since you are here we are just clarifying it in more detail this will all be written and with the detail also before going leaving from here we all should be clear about what is this exactly yeah because so much confusion please use the free time and any time to interrupt anytime I'm here you just interrupt me and ask okay we'll have some special sessions again in the last day yeah where there'll be general forum because all of them should be clarified before going to the very much it's not so critical you can go and ask also nothing okay so don't worry about yes please yeah yeah it will all be written because the current course codes and the course and all are not ready which is why we are just giving you a feel of different things you just take it as something which is going in your head everything will be clear clearly written down and with a possible flowchart and what has to be done all that will be there yes question is there are grades which are going to come in IIT Bombay X there are grades that is going to come in moodle will they be integrated and put in IIT Bombay X it it will be used for deciding to give the certificate basically the teachers okay who come for the workshop need to get 40 percent in moodle as well as 40 percent in IIT Bombay X okay so for completing the IIT Bombay X course if you complete 40 percent you will get that certificate only but you will not get the ISTE certificate correct so for to get the ISTE certificate we might we'll do this offline we'll see that you have done 40 percent here you've done 40 percent here and then that will be decided for ISTE that will not go back to IIT Bombay X IIT Bombay X independently have completed you will get that certificate am I correct NMI CT yeah and IIT Bombay X correct three loudest NMI CT is only used by workshop coordinators no restations done by the faculty who are coming from outside no no see they also have to register no right done one more question sir right we have to accept them correct and reject them in module or NMI CT NMI CT right done and the module is there no sir uh no no no module yeah yeah okay go ahead go ahead please yeah yeah in the module uh we have to register them or you we will do right so you you only approve or disapprove on NMI CT website they automatically they will come to model yeah similarly they have to log into IIT Bombay X just as today you logged into IIT Bombay X and created an account they also will have to register in IIT Bombay X but the course this course will automatically be enrolled for them because all of the 5000 teachers including you are by invitation okay you will all be enrolled in IIT Bombay X automatically the for the course but you have to register just as you have done now yeah in the module they need not to create the account no they will directly have their username automatically whatever username they give an NMI CT website that is the origin from there automatically you will get the same password what they have created order same password they can use in module that password you can give anything okay but the initial password will come as a email okay we can log in and change it I mean you means the teachers can log in and change it okay but the they don't have to register in module they have to register in IIT Bombay X okay so I know this is a lot of information we will definitely provide a detailed documents stepwise okay with a flow chart okay but please feel free to interrupt us anytime during this three four days it's better to convey face to face and get it cleared right sure yes any other questions here you want to go home
