Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues

Seismic slip on an upper-plate normal fault during a large subduction megathrust rupture
Get PDFQuantification of stress accumulation and release during subduction zone seismic cycles requires an understanding of the distribution of fault slip during earthquakes. Reconstructions of slip are typically constrained to a single, known fault plane. Yet, slip has been shown to occur on multiple faults within the subducting plate1 owing to stress triggering2, resulting in phenomena such as earthquake doublets3. However, rapid stress triggering from the plate interface to faults in the overriding plate has not been documented. Here we analyse seismic data from the magnitude 7.1 Araucania earthquake that occurred in the Chilean subduction zone in 2011. We find that the earthquake, which was reported as a single event in global moment tensor solutions4, 5, was instead composed of two ruptures on two separate faults. Within 12?s a thrust earthquake on the plate interface triggered a second large rupture on a normal fault 30?km away in the overriding plate. This configuration of partitioned rupture is consistent with normal-faulting mechanisms in the ensuing aftershock sequence. We conclude that plate interface rupture can trigger almost instantaneous slip in the overriding plate of a subduction zone. This shallow upper-plate rupture may be masked from teleseismic data, posing a challenge for real-time tsunami warning systems

The Shannon County Film Digitization Project -- Camera Roll 369
No full textCamera roll 369 is the ninth in a series of ten rolls (361 through 370) that show Ray Hicks, a Shannon County blacksmith, using his forge, anvil, and hammer to make a fishing gig. The gig is a pronged and barbed spearhead forged out of steel. It is attached to the end of a long pole and used to spear fish. Gig fishing at night is an old tradition in Shannon County, and a good gig, such as the one Ray Hicks is making, is a prized possession. Like many hunting and fishing traditions, gig fishing grew out of the necessity to eat and feed one's family. After working all day in the timber or at farming, men would go out on the rivers at night and fish. Night gigging is done from special flat-bottomed boats rigged with gaslights. The boat has to be able to navigate shallow waters, yet be heavy and stable enough not to move from under the gigger when the gig is thrown. The gig itself must be shaped and tempered just right. The gig has to pass through a fish without tearing the fish apart and the barbs must hold the fish tightly enough to pull it out of the water, yet cleanly release the fish into the boat when the pole is given a quick jerk. The gig also has to be flexible enough not to break when it hits rocks, but hard enough to hold its point. It takes many hours, a lot of hard work, and considerable skill to make a gig. The metal must be heated to different temperatures depending on the task. Welding, which fuses the metal, requires the highest temperatures; simple bending requires the lowest. Hicks can work on the gig only a minute or two at a time before having to reheat it in the forge. This series of camera rolls shows all of the steps involved in making a gig form beginning to end. The rolls are numbered in the order they were shot. Part of the raw footage recorded in 1978-1979 for 1981 documentary motion pictures "Shannon County: Home" and "Shannon County: Hearts of the Children." Executive producer, Robert Flanders; producer/director, Robert Moore; camera, David Espar; sound, Stephen Longstreth. 1. Two short shots: smoke coming out of blacksmith shop chimney, Hicks flattening metal for shank of gig -- 2. Hicks uses hammer and pad area of anvil to curve the the flattened metal into round shape for the shank -- 3. Hicks continues to round and shape the shank -- 4. Hicks uses a "square flatter" hammer to work on a problem area -- 5. Front angle of Hicks making fine adjustments to shape of shank
AC-6-U.S. Naval Planes Flying in Formation, Langley Field, VA/Thank-You Card from Stephen Tury to the Hungarian Defense Council.
No full textThis postcard, which depicts U.S. Naval planes flying in formation, was sent to the Hungarian Defense Council by Private Stephen Tury. The Council was organized in New Brunswick by leaders of local Hungarian churches and societies. During the Second World War it sent supplies, such as the carton of cigarettes Tury is thanking it for, to members of the military of Hungarian descent from the New Brunswick area

Hicks continues to work on the barb, telling that old-timers called it the beard and prong -- 2. Hicks stops to explain importance of setting the angle and distance of the barb -- 3. Shaping the point, and finishing the first prong -- 4. Bending back the first prong in order to work on the second -- 5. Hicks straightens out the second prong so that he can work on it
