The document summarizes NBC Sports' return to broadcasting NASCAR races after a nine-year hiatus. It discusses how NBC Sports assembled an experienced broadcast team from ESPN, TNT, and Fox to cover NASCAR. However, rain delays impacted NBC's debut broadcasts of the Xfinity and Cup Series races at Daytona International Speedway. Overall, the broadcast received positive reviews for the new play-by-play team and pit reporters. The summary identifies a few areas for NBC to improve, such as reducing miscues and better integrating the studio analysts during races.

Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) is a shunt compensating device which is used
to improve current profile by exchanging of reactive power with unbalanced and nonlinear load. DSTATCOM is a
shunt compensating device used for power quality improvement in distribution systems. Relevant solutions are
applied for harmonics, fluctuation of voltage, voltage deviation, unbalance of three phase voltage and current and
frequency deviation. Different controlling schemes such as Phase Control Method (PCM), Fryze Power Theory
(FPT), Synchronous Reference Frame Theory (SRFT) and Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory (IRPT) are used
for reactive power compensation with the help of Voltage source Inverter (VSI). In this project we are going to
balance the source current using different control schemes. The results of different source currents are compared
with a different control schemes in terms of active and reactive power and in terms of Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD) for nonlinear load using Fryze Power Theory (FPT) and Instantaneous Reactive Power Theory (IRPT).
Reference currents are generated by the different control schemes have been dynamically traced in a hysteresis
current controller. The performance of DSTATCOM for different control schemes is validated for load balancing
and harmonic elimination by using simulation models in MATLAB/SIMULINK

We are truly at the frontier of a new, hyper-connected future, and MIT Media Lab’s David Rose is our guide. In this mind-opening talk he brings the inevitable takeover of the Internet of Things to the forefront of public consciousness. The author of the first major book on IoT, Enchanted Objects, David describes how products are poised to become services and how we will be creating new user experiences, not new technology. Instead of staring at our iPhone screens, we will be surrounded by simple and user-friendly objects that respond to our needs, come to know us, and learn to think on our behalf. How can you embed connectivity and productivity into your product? It’s time to revolutionize the way your company thinks about technology, design and making money.

Lecture capture: Risky business or evolving open practice Jane Secker
This document summarizes the findings of a survey on lecture capture policies and practices at UK universities. The key findings are:
1) Most institutions either have no formal policy or a partial documented approach for lecture capture, with few consulting widely with academics.
2) Policies vary in their approaches to consent, third-party copyright, and responsibility for copyright issues.
3) Support and guidance for academics on copyright issues is often limited and awareness is low.
4) There is a variety in institutional attitudes toward copyright risk, with no clear models emerging yet on best practices.
This document discusses the basics of nutrition, including the six major classes of nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water), their functions, and food pyramids. It explains that nutrients are essential for growth, energy, development, immunity and maintenance. The six classes and some of their key roles are carbohydrates for quick energy, proteins for building the body and making enzymes/hormones, fats as the highest energy source, vitamins for maintenance/repair, minerals which the body needs 20 types of, and water which makes up 60% of the body.
Tsunamis are caused by large earthquakes at subduction zones where tectonic plates meet. In the deep ocean, tsunamis travel very quickly but with small amplitude. As they approach land, their speed slows and their amplitude grows dramatically. Tsunamis cause damage through both the force of the wall of water and the destructive power of a large volume of water draining off the land while carrying large debris. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, displacing a huge volume of water and causing over 155,000 fatalities across South and Southeast Asia.
Developing digitally literate staff and students: experiences from LSEJane Secker
1) The document discusses developing digital literacy among staff and students through experiences at the London School of Economics (LSE).
2) It defines digital literacy as the capabilities needed for living, learning, and working in a digital society, and notes a distinction between viewing it as a literacy for students versus a capability for staff.
3) Over the past decade, LSE's focus on digital literacy among academic staff has included supporting them as teachers, researchers, and learners through training beyond just the use of virtual learning environments and integrating copyright literacy.

NASCAR on NBC – A First Look
Daytona International Speedway – it’s where so many broadcast networks have
debuted their coverage of NASCAR. Sports networks like CBS, ESPN, and Fox have all
started here, even NBC back in 2001. In 2015, though, it was a welcome back for
NBC Sports as they returned to their coverage of NASCAR on NBC after a nine-year
hiatus.
NBC Sports was announced nearly a year and a half prior as the successor to TNT
and ESPN’s coverage of the sport, with coverage of the second half of both the
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series split between the NBC
broadcast network and their cable channel NBCSN. The NASCAR on NBC crew also
picked up coverage of the Hall of Fame inductions, regional touring series, and
Spanish-language coverage. Taking a page from the former Speed network, NBC
Sports was already winning over the diehard fans of the sport.
The next step for the network was to put together an A-list crew and team to cover
the sport. Taking the best of the ESPN and TNT crews, and cherry picking some
members off the NASCAR on Fox team, NASCAR on NBC was set with an experienced
and invigorating crew to welcome back the sport to their airwaves.
Then the rain came.
The worst possible thing that could happen to a race on a new network happened
not once, but twice. First, the NASCAR Xfinity Series debut on NBCSN was delayed by
an hour because of rain. Ultimately, it was a side story compared to the rain delay to
follow the next night for the Cup cars. The Coke Zero 400 did not begin until after 11
pm local time that night. Of course, that was out of the control of the powers that be
at NBC.
Focusing on what they could control, the return of NASCAR on NBC was
orchestrated nearly perfectly. The usually cynical and hate-filled twitterverse had
positive reviews for the broadcast, and everyone fell in love with the new play-by-
play team of Rick Allen, Jeff Burton, and Steve Letarte. Call it relevance, experience,
or less Bill Weber, but it was clear this team was the right choice.
Pit road and the mobile studio were just as solid as their counterparts in the booth.
The reporters et al knew their stuff, and performed the job well. Of course, it helps
that all the team members had prior pit road reporting experience, and all but Kelly
Stavast have covered NASCAR for years. While there were times that Stavast clearly
looked young and fresh on the NASCAR scene, and Marty Snider had his fair share of
verbal gaffes, the pit road will not be riddled with changes like ESPN’s crew was
every year it seemed.
2. In the end, there are only two key areas for NBC to clean up heading into their next
broadcast weekend at Kentucky:
1. Cut down on the verbal and technical miscues, though this is to be expected
for a new broadcast team.
2. Involve the studio team (Krista Voda, Dale Jarrett, Kyle Petty) more in the
broadcast. This group was hardly if ever called on during the race itself,
unlike their Fox counterparts. Take a page from their book and use them as
needed, but not to the point where it takes away from the broadcast.
As we strap in for the rest of the NASCAR season with NBC Sports, the team is ready
and they will perform well for the fans, the teams, and the sport. And of course, who
isn’t looking forward to seeing Formula One commentator Leigh Diffey call some
Xfinity Series races.
