Their recommendation is that if you play 720p applications, which is what the BBC HD iPlayer programmes are, at 3.2mbps, then you should be fine. My home plugs are 85mbps which can deal with some 1080p applications but can get very bad stuttering. (Since writing this article I have found these links. Don’t you believe it!

But, hey, we’re talking computers and nothing is how it should be. I bought a new laptop and thought that it would just work in replacement of my old tower unit. As I’d had 8 years out of it I decided it was now time for a new PC. I thought that that would be the end of the story, which it was until a power surge blew the PC’s power unit some months later.

Pioneering yoga teachers taught by Krishnamacharya, including Pattabhi Jois and B. The precise origins of the Sun Salutation are uncertain, but the sequence was made popular in the early 20th century by Bhawanrao Shriniwasrao Pant Pratinidhi, the Rajah of Aundh, and adopted into yoga by Krishnamacharya in the Mysore Palace, where the Sun Salutation classes, not then considered to be yoga, were held next door to his yogasala. In some Indian traditions, the positions are each associated with a different mantra. The set of 12 asanas is dedicated to the Hindu solar deity, Surya. The basic sequence involves moving from a standing position into Downward and Upward Dog poses and then back to the standing position, but many variations are possible. The asana sequence was first recorded as yoga in the early 20th century, though similar exercises were in use in India before that, for example among wrestlers. Sun Salutation, also called Surya Namaskar(a) or Salute to the Sun ( Sanskrit: सूर्यनमस्कार, romanized: Sūryanamaskāra), is a practice in yoga as exercise incorporating a flow sequence of some twelve gracefully linked asanas. Sculpture of the 12 asanas of one form of the Sun Salutation in Indira Gandhi Airport, Delhi (figures sculpted by Nikhil Bhandari) Our products showed up on the Air Max 95, Air Max 97. That’s where we really started to collaborate across a broader range of footwear. They took the lead in putting reflective material on running shoes, alongside brands like Adidas. And where we really start to see things pick up between us and Nike are right around in the mid-’90s. That was obviously long ago, prior to my tenure at 3M, but it still remains one of the most notable Air Jordans, as well as one of the most notable that our material has been on. Gallagher: The Air Jordan 5 is one of the hallmark collaborations that we’ve had with Nike. This interview with them has been edited and condensed for clarity.įor a lot of sneaker enthusiasts, 3M started popping up in the early ’90s with the Air Jordan 5 and on running shoes from that era. To find out more about Scotchlite material, 3M’s connection to sneakers, and the brand’s recent collaborations, we caught up with Brian Rice, chief brand and design officer, and Ryan Gallagher, global marketing manager for Scotchlite reflective material. Meanwhile, Heltzer’s revolutionary invention was the start of his ascension within the company, where he would became CEO in 1970 before resigning five years later over illegal contributions to Richard Nixon’s 1972 presidential campaign. Scotchlite has been technologically improved over the years to make it more applicable to different surfaces, durable, and weather resistant, but the heart of the high-visibility retroreflective material remains the same. Readers likely recognize its use on the aforementioned Air Jordan 5’s tongue, the Nike Air Max 97’s overlays, or apparel like Supreme’s Spring/Summer 2013 The North Face collab. Heltzer’s experiments led to the development of Scotchlite, one of 3M’s most well-known products and the one that is most commonly used in footwear. I’d run down the six floors and sweep up what I had.” “When you melt glass and pour it in a thin stream, it breaks into particles that turn into bubbles. “My first ones involved melting glass in a crucible about the size of a cup and pouring it out of the sixth floor of the Benz Building,” Heltzer said. Heltzer, who started as a $12-per-week employee, began looking for ways to incorporate reflective glass beads, using science experiments to dial in the technology. The year was 1938 when University of Minnesota engineering graduate Harry Heltzer was tasked by Carlton to find a way to make highway stripes more visible than the plain white or yellow paints used at the time. Carlton started a laboratory to create reflective material for highways, which led to 3M’s first major breakthrough the following year and would later end up changing the way we see footwear. This led to rapid expansion and a focus on making items like abrasive cloth and masking tape. Ordway emerged as an investor in 1905, assuming the company’s debts, taking a majority share, and moving it to St. This idea fizzled out within a few years when they realized their Lake Superior, Minnesota, locale contained little to no corundum. As its original name suggests, the group planned for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company to specialize in mining corundum, an abrasive mineral used primarily for making things like sandpaper. McGonagle, who worked at the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad with Bryan. Cable, attorney John Dwan, and William A. Danley Budd, railroad company executive Henry. The former Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (renamed 3M in 2002) was founded in 1902 by five men: physician Dr. It’s also responsible for some of our favorite sneakers like the Air Jordan 5, Nike Air Max 97, and many more. It makes Post-it Notes, painter’s tape, and air filters. The company’s materials are on highways, street signs, and emergency vehicles. 3M is everywhere, even if you don’t realize it. And maybe more importantly, we largely left the snakes alone and let them tell their own stories. With these simple tools we managed to document behavior that was once readily dismissed. When we began our study of social snake behavior in 2010, we were armed with cameras, binoculars, and field notebooks. They also reviewed others’ observations of parental care in vipers, demonstrating that this behavior is widespread and more than mere attendance. But, it’s difficult to see what you don’t look for and these authors took the time to look. Was there some technological advance at that time that finally revealed this behavior to scientists? No. In 1992, Harry Greene and colleagues published an article on viper parental care, presenting evidence that not only do families aggregate, but mother snakes actively defend their newborns. Their propinquity, such as it is, does not result from any maternal solicitude rather it is only because the refuge sought by the mother is also used as a hiding place by the young. A bunch of babies coiled on and near Eve (Arizona Black Rattlesnakes)įor example, numerous observations of rattlesnake families dating back more than a hundred years were dismissed by the godfather of rattlesnake biology, Laurence Klauber (1956): This seemed to be especially prevalent among many herpetologists, who assumed reptiles weren’t capable of certain things, didn’t ask the questions, and missed some interesting observations because of this bias (Burghardt 2020). Many scientists, in their efforts to be unbiased and avoid anthropomorphism, engage in anthropodenial: the refusal to acknowledge humanlike characteristics of non-human animals (de Waal 1997). “Science is only as good as the question, and we cannot learn the answers to questions we don’t ask.” Jesús Rivas (2020) |
