Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Scalerobotics. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Scalerobotics~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:43, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

help requested
I have recently finished to write a book on m:b:en:Philosophy of Science in Russian wikibook Философия науки. I want to find somebody to translate it to English. Can you help me with this? P.S. I am interesting to write some books on math and computer science. On math I am currently working on m:b:ru:Знакомство с методом математической индукции and on computer science on Object oriented, m:b:en:Computer programming/Procedural programming and m:b:en:User:Alexsmail/Computer programming/How Objects should be correctly compared in Java (all this is on currently on hold). In my English texts I have a lot of grammar mistakes, so I need somebody to correct one. I want that all that I am writing will be on English. It can be translating of written on another language text or original text.

P.P.S. I have some material on math in Hebrew. Also hebrew wikibook has some material. It can be nice, while not mandatory, if you will know Hebrew too.

Я недавно закончил писать книгу в русском викиучебнике Философия науки. Я хотел бы найти кого-то ктобы перевёл бы его на английский m:b:en:Philosophy of Science. Не могли бы вы мне в этом помочь? P.S. Я хочу написать пару книг по математике и компьютерным наукам (программированию). По математике я начал работать над m:b:ru:Знакомство с методом математической индукции, а по компьютерным наукам над Object oriented, m:b:en:Computer programming/Procedural programming и m:b:en:User:Alexsmail/Computer programming/How Objects should be correctly compared in Java (пока я оставил это). Я пишу на английском со многими грамматическими ошибками, мне нужен кто-то, чтобы их исправлять. Я хочу, чтобы все мои книги были на английском. Это может быть как перевода с другого языка, так и оригинальный, изначально написанный на английском текст. P.P.S. По математике, у меня часть материала на иврите, да и в ивритском викиучебнике можно взять. Было бы прекрасно, если бы вы владели также ивритом. Но вовсе не обязательно. alexsmail 16:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Movie Making Manual/Digital Video/Introduction

Previous | Contents

Introduction
This book is intended as a compendium to the Movie Making Manual, or a ‘Volume 2’ which addresses the specific needs and concerns of Digital Video Production in contrast to using film as a recording medium. Digital Video uses the common abbreviation of DV, and this book will use DV and DVP (Digital Video Production) frequently. Many of the concepts and techniques used for creating moving images using film is the same or similar as when using DV, however many tools and techniques used for each medium are specific to that application. This book concentrates specifically on video production techniques concentrating on digital video rather than analog since analog is all but an obsolete technology. This book also assumes the reader is at least somewhat proficient with the basic terminology of video production and computer use so not every little thing will be spelled out, however there is an appendix with abbreviations, definitions, and terms to assist as much as possible.

Movie Making Manual/Digital Video/Analog vs. Digital

Contents

Previous | Introduction

Analog vs. Digital
Digital information recording is an evolution from analog which is most heavily influenced by computers and their popularity and accessibility. Originally video production had a large gambit of machines and electronics specifically created for that industry. As computers became more advanced, cheaper, and more accessible applications for the computer spread to almost every industry. The widespread application of computers for manipulation of video was hampered because video requires relatively massive storage, processing, and data transfer requirements. As hardware has become cheaper and more powerful, and storage space in particular has become plentiful, using a computer to manipulate video has become more economically viable than not. Currently video production is towards the end of a transition in technology from an analog based system to a digital based system.

Why use digital?
Digital has advantages and disadvantages like any tool, but the general consensus is that digital is better, and for good reason. In post-production of analog video, there are basically two editing options. There is assemble (aka linear) editing, in which the final product is assembled from the various pieces in order from the beginning to end. If a change needs to be made at any point, then everything from that point to the end of the change must be recreated from the original source material. This, of course, is problematic if the needs of the production are the least bit dynamic. Avid was the first popular computer based “nonlinear” editing application, originally created for film editing. It was a small step toward moving into professional video editing applications. Non-linear editing allows the editor to “ripple” an insert so that everything that comes after the change is shifted to accommodate the shift. As computer-based editing became more popular, the choices were either staying with the hardware controlled tape-to-tape linear systems or digitizing the analog footage into a computer for digital editing. Since computers are digital systems--not analog--the video signal is translated into a digital signal. The evolutionary step was a short one to have the video signal recorded in a digital format.

Limitations of Analog
When using an analog system, there are some major inherent limitations that can be problematic. The first is when you’re editing video the process doesn’t take the physical tape material, slice it with a razor, and combine it with other clips as one would with film. Rather a VTP would read the information from the source tape and send the signal to a VTR, which would record the signal onto a new tape. This is called a "generation" and analog has a tendency of not making a 100% exact copy during this process. As video is pushed through more and more generations, the signal degrades until it is essentially unrecognizable. There are tools that help reduce this--like waveform monitors, signal amplifiers, etc.--but most analog video is unusable after 5 to 10 generations (for professional standards). On the other hand, as long as the information isn’t reprocessed (such as in color correction, transitions, etc.) DV can withstand dozens of generations and some manufacturers have reported over 100 generations with no perceptible loss in picture quality. **citation needed** On the other hand, there are limitations to a digital system mainly in regards to sample rates and aliasing. However as the delivery of the video signal is not analog anyway (pixels) digital information processing on these discrete units seems to make the most sense.

Production Process
The production process in video is very similar to film. This is due to many reasons, but the main one is that motion pictures have created a workflow process that makes sense and works. Therefore video productions generally proceed through the following phases: Development, Preproduction, Production, Postproduction, and Distribution.

Cookbook:Risotto II

| Italian cuisine | Rice

This is a traditional Italian risotto.

Ingredients

 * 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
 * 1 medium onion, chopped
 * 2½ cups risotto rice
 * ¾ cup white wine
 * 6 cups chicken broth
 * ½ teaspoon saffron powder
 * ½ cup Parmesan cheese
 * Salt to taste

Procedure

 * 1) Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan. Keep the temperature as high as possible throughout the cooking process, without letting the stock boil. The surface of the stock should just be moving a little.
 * 2) Sauté the onion until soft.
 * 3) Add the rice and mix well until it is coated the oil.
 * 4) Add the wine and stir constantly over medium heat until it evaporates.
 * 5) Add enough hot broth to cover the rice and continue to stir until the liquid is absorbed.
 * 6) Keep adding hot broth, a little at a time, while constantly stirring until the rice is done.
 * 7) In a small bowl, dissolve the saffron in a little hot broth and add it to the rice.
 * 8) Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt to taste.
 * 9) Serve immediately.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Plump, medium-grain rice that contains a lot of starch is required. Arborio or Carnaroli types are traditionally best. Other rices that work well are Roma, Vialone, Nano, and Maratelli.

Automobile Repair/Honda/Accord/Oil Change

Performing an oil change on your own automobile can be a fun, albeit sometimes messy, and cost effective way to ensure long term reliability. Changing any given vehicles oil is a very basic procedure and, when done carefully, even the novice mechanic can complete the job in under 30-45 minutes. The first step to performing an oil change for the Honda Accord lies in the preparation. Ensure you have a quality floor jack with a weight rating of acceptable strength to lift the front of the vehicle. Once the vehicle is lifted jack-stands will also be needed to support the car. Some other tools needed to complete the task include an oil filter wrench, a catch bin to recover the drained oil, and a set of metric sockets with a ratchet, or metric wrenches.

Of course you will also need to purchase new oil and a new oil filter as well. Most four cylinder automobile engines will call for around four quarts but always be sure to check the Honda specifications for the precise amount required. As stated before a new filter is needed as well and should at least meet if not exceed OEM quality for its contaminant trapping ability. This simply refers to the filters ability to trap particles which if left to circulate the oiling system, could damage critical engine components.

Once you have all the tools and parts needed to complete the procedure it's time to get to work. Begin by finding a solid level surface where the job can be performed. Once the car is in position turn off the engine and engage the emergency brake. Next, slide the floor-jack under the front of the vehicle being careful not to scrape the front valance as it tends to hang low on accords, this is particularly true for body styles from 1994 and later. The floor-jack must be squarely situated on the frame or cross-member to support the weight of the vehicle when it is lifted.
