Internet Reactor Laboratory
Internet Reactor Laboratories are available to external academic institutions who wish to utilize the PULSTAR in demonstrating nuclear reactor operations and kinetics for their students. This capability enriches academic programs at universities without research reactors of their own, and may be used to expand the educational opportunities for nuclear engineering students throughout the United States and internationally. Upgraded Internet Reactor Laboratory (IRL) infrastructure has been installed and is currently available for use at the PULSTAR reactor of the Nuclear Reactor Program (NRP) at North Carolina State University (NCSU).
In 2016, the United States and the Republic of Vietnam entered into an Administrative Arrangement under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, with a goal of enhancing nuclear training and education for Vietnamese engineering students. Funding was provided by the DOE to upgrade the PULSTAR IRL infrastructure to “second generation” state-of-the-art remote data acquisition and video teleconferencing capabilities supporting content sharing across multiple remote user platforms. The goal was to provide a realistic laboratory experience to remote students, allowing them to interact with the PULSTAR reactor operators and view, record, and process live reactor data in real time. In designing the upgraded systems, the following functional objectives were set: 1) provide robust, easy-to-use, graphical user interfaces allowing students to stream, observe and record reactor channel output data in real time; 2) provide customized GUIs for each laboratory module focusing on relevant channels and linking to supporting documentation and schematics; and 3) provide video teleconferencing capabilities supporting content sharing across multiple remote user platforms including tablets and smartphones. Installation of the upgraded IRL hardware and software platforms were completed and commissioned in 2018.
The current IRL system is comprised of a Cisco Telepresence video conferencing unit and a LabView based reactor data acquisition system. The LabView system allows up to 100 remote student clients to login securely to the local data acquisition server and provides 130 channels of live reactor output telemetry displayed in GUIs customized for each laboratory session. Reactor control functions are not connected to the system, and encrypted single use logon credentials are issued for each lab session, ensuring that robust cyber security protections are maintained. During IRL sessions, remote students may interact with the control room staff via the Telepresence system using their mobile device or PC, and view live reactor telemetry via the remote client LabView application while recording the data for subsequent review and analysis.
IRL System Hardware
The Cisco Telepresence system is capable of connecting to remote sites using multiple platforms. This functionally diverse platform is useful in providing a variety of options when connecting to remote sites which may have limited teleconferencing infrastructure. Two high definition pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras mounted in the control room along with audio equipment provide for live interaction between the remote site and the PULSTAR reactor staff. The cameras, local 65” and 75” touch screen displays and a graphics PC are connected to a Touch Tablet, which allows a presenter to control and display video and graphical laboratory content locally and remotely.
National Instruments (NI) data acquisition system hardware interfaces with LabView software provides the digital user interface. The NI data acquisition modules accept optically isolated digital, analog, and thermocouple inputs from the reactor control, monitoring, and experimental systems. 78 digital inputs monitor the discrete ON/OFF states of reactor instrumentation such as coolant pumps, control rod limit switches, channel annunciators and alarms, and SCRAM signals. 42 analog inputs monitor continuous signal outputs of channels such as reactor power level, control rod height, coolant flow rate, coolant system temperatures, and in-core miniature fission chamber output. Ten thermocouple inputs are connected to K-type temperature sensors which may be inserted into the fuel coolant channels to measure distributed in-core temperature profiles.
IRL System Software – Graphical User Interface
The NI hardware interface input cards described above are connected to a customized LabView data acquisition system running on a local Windows PC based server. The remote student user downloads a LabView data acquisition executable file from cloud-based storage and installs it on their computer. For each IRL session, remote students are provided with unique credentials allowing secure encrypted connection to the server. Once logged in, the student’s application connects to the local data acquisition server and streams the live reactor telemetry to their desktop. The LabView application GUI have been designed to display live reactor telemetry represented by realistic depictions of instrumentation installed in the reactor console (see figure above). Students can view, record and process the data live on their remote computer, just as they would if they were participating in a laboratory session on site.
Additional GUIs have been customized with graphics to support specific laboratory sessions, and have supporting content integrated such as schematics and drawings that illustrate associated technical details and concepts. Examples of integrate supporting content include a 3D facility model, a fuel assembly diagram (see figure below), a control rod diagram, a cooling system schematic with live temperature telemetry, and a reactor facility elevation view. Following the completion of each IRL session, the remote student has the ability to process and analyze the reactor telemetry data they have recorded.
Internet Reactor Laboratory Sessions
A selection of nine different remote internet reactor laboratory sessions are offered which are identical in nature to those provided to nuclear engineering students on site at N.C. State University. IRL sessions offered include:
- Introduction to Reactor Systems: Utilizing the main console GUI and supporting content, students are introduced to the reactor plant systems. Reactor core components and configuration, reactor safety channels with console instrumentation, SCRAM logic and safety interlocks, reactor coolant systems, radiological safety systems and experimental systems are all discussed. Presentation of system layouts is aided by reactor staff walking down the reactor facility systems while streaming live video and audio from a handheld device to the Telepresence system.
- 1/M Approach to Criticality: Utilizing a GUI detailing the startup range instrumentation and control rod positions, students take the reactor from shutdown to criticality utilizing a conservative 1/M startup methodology. Utilizing the count rate from the Source Range Monitor, students make conservative projections of the critical control rod height, iterating until criticality is achieved.
- Normal Reactor Startup and Power Range Operations: Starting with the reactor in a shutdown state, students compute an estimated critical rod position by performing a reactivity balance. The reactor is then brought to criticality at low power through following operations procedures and observing the characteristics of subcritical multiplication on the power monitoring channels presented on the main console GUI. The reactor is then raised to higher power levels, with students observing the response of instrumentation and temperature feedback characteristics.
- Control Rod Calibration: A reactor control rod is calibrated utilizing the constant period method. The reactor is brought critical at low power with the rod to be calibrated inserted. The rod is then withdrawn in steps, and students measure the power doubling times through observing the response of the Linear Power Channel via a customized laboratory GUI. Students then calculate the reactor period for each step and plot the differential and integral rod worth curves as a function of control rod height.
- Axial Flux Measurement: A miniature in-core (MIC) fission chamber neutron detector is inserted in a dry well placed inside a PULSTAR fuel assembly coolant channel. The reactor is operated at low power while the detector is slowly withdrawn along the axis of the cooling channel, measuring the neutron flux profile as a function of core height (see trace in Figure 6 at right). This measurement is repeated for five fuel assemblies in a row across the core to allow students to calculate the radial and axial core neutron flux distributions.
- Power Coefficient Measurement: The reactor power coefficient is measured dynamically through inserting a known amount of positive reactivity into the reactor from criticality at low power. The resulting power transient is observed and recorded utilizing the main console GUI. The time dependent power and moderator temperature data may then be then utilized by students to calculate the power coefficient of reactivity.
- Void Coefficient Measurement: The reactor is brought critical at low power and an empty dry well of known volume is placed inside a PULSTAR fuel assembly coolant channel to displace the moderator. The resulting change in reactivity is measured through observing reactor control rod height on the main console GUI and adjusting the control rods to maintain criticality. This measurement is repeated for five fuel assemblies in a row across the core to allow students to determine spatial dependency.
- Heat Balance Power Calibration: A heat balance is performed by bringing the reactor critical at several power levels ranging from 10% to 100% of full power. Students observe the primary coolant temperature and flow channel telemetry presented on the main console GUI (see Figure 5, temperature recorder at right). Temperature changes across the core and primary heat exchanger are measured at each power level and utilized to perform a heat balance calculation.
- Natural Circulation / Flow Reversal: Dry wells containing two thermocouples each (positioned at the top and bottom of the fuel) are inserted into five fuel assembly coolant channels located at the corners and center of the PULSTAR core. The reactor is operated at low power under forced downward primary flow cooling conditions and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. The primary coolant pump is then tripped and core cooling flow coasts to a stop and then reverses as natural convection flow is established. Utilizing the natural circulation laboratory GUI (see Fig. 7), students observe and measure the coolant channel temperatures during steady state conditions and the flow reversal transient.
History of IRL at NC State
Since its initial criticality in 1972, the PULSTAR Reactor has been utilized to provide instructional and training content to nuclear engineers and reactor operators from academia and industry. Undergraduate students in the Department of Nuclear Engineering utilize the facility for reactor kinetics and thermal hydraulic academic laboratories, and frequently as the focus for senior design projects. The NE235 Nuclear Reactor Operations training course provides hand-on operations experience for undergraduates interested in becoming reactor operators, with several students earning NRC reactor operator licenses each year. Plant operators from local nuclear utilities utilized the facility through the late 1990’s to perform required operations training evolutions in support of their NRC approved requalification programs.
Under the DOE Innovations in Nuclear Infrastructure and Education (INIE) Program in 2002, N.C. State University was awarded a project to install distance learning capabilities at the PULSTAR Reactor with the intent of enriching educational experiences for nuclear engineering students at academic institutions without a research reactor of their own. The vision was to enable remote students to experience and participate in reactor laboratory sessions as if they were in the control room observing and taking data first-hand. An RTP Micro 2000 data acquisition system was utilized to provide remote distribution of 110 channels of live reactor telemetry. Remote users installed an executable file on their PC that established a real time network connection to the RTP server, and provided display of live reactor telemetry via the console GUI. A Polycom teleconferencing unit was installed in the PULSTAR control room with a PTZ camera and room microphone. This system allowed remote users to interact via a live feed with the facility operations staff, and remotely direct the camera to view console instrumentation and other content of interest.
Starting in 2004, the system was utilized to provide IRL’s to nuclear engineering programs at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Jordan University of Science and Technology, and at workshops offered to utilities, government entities, and international organizations. Forty-five separate IRL sessions were provided during the period from 2004 through 2013 to hundreds of nuclear engineering students at these universities.

The cost of a .compare domain name varies between Registrars. Please contact your domain name Registrar of choice to find out about their latest offering. For a list ofparticipating .compare Registrars, please refer to the Register page.
Where can I register a .compare domain name?
.compare domain name registrations are available through registrars that have been accredited to do business by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, and may also be offered by resellers and hosting providers that operate under a contract with one of the accredited registrars.
If I don’t see my provider listed as an accredited .compare registrar, can I still register my .compare domain name with them?
.compare domain names are available through directly accredited registrars and their resellers. If your registrar is a reseller of a directly accredited .compare registrar you may still be able to register your domain name with them. To check whether your provider offers .compare domain name registrations, please visit their site directly.
For what term can I buy a .compare domain?
Typically, registrars will allow you to register domain names for up to 10 years.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is a unique word or phrase in a particular format that allows people to find information on the Internet. The Domain Name System maps domain names to servers where the content resides, based on each server’s Internet Protocol (IP) address (for example, 192.0.2.53 or 2001:503:A83:0:0:2:30). Instead of accessing information by IP address, a domain name allows people to navigate to Web sites and send email using familiar, easy to remember names (i.e. Example.compare).
What is a domain name registry?
For the Internet to function and to prevent duplication of domain names therehas to be one authoritative place to store registration information for domain names in a specific domain name extension. Each extension (example:“.compare”) has an authoritative registry, which manages a centralized database. The registry inputs the information about domain names in zone files to enable communication over the Internet for applications like credit card processing, bank transactions as well as Web browsing and email. A registry provides this service to registrars who accept registrations from domain name registrants.
What are domain name registrars?
Registrars provide domain name registration services directly to registrants such as helping them find, register, renew, and delete domain names. They send the information to the registry for entry into the centralized registry database. Accredited Registrars of the .compare Registry are those registrars that have been accredited to do business by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
What is a .compare registrant?
A .compare registrant is a company, organization or individual who registers a .compare domain name.
What is WHOIS?
Every registry is required to maintain a WHOIS database with details about registered domain names as well as contact information about the owners of such names. For each registered domain name, the publicly available WHOIS database includes the following information: domain name; registrar of record; the registrar’s referral URL; last updated date; contact details for Registrant, Administrative, Technical and Billing; and name server information. The .WHOIS database maintained by the Registry is the authoritative directory for all domain names registered in the .compare namespace.
Renewing your .compare
How do I renew my .compare domain?
You can renew your domain through your current provider. They may also have an option that you can set the domain to “auto renew” every year.
Can I renew with a different provider?
You can transfer to a different provider before the expiry date of your domain. Performing a transfer will automatically add a year to your registration term.
I forgot to renew, but my domain is still resolving and in an ||OK|| status. Do I need to do anything?
Your domain may have been auto-renewed by your provider. Check the “Expiry Date” in the WHOIS. If this is in the future, then your domain has been renewed and it is likely that your provider has already taken payment for this. If the expiry date is in the past, please contact your provider as soon as possible to renew before the name is deleted.
I forgot to renew and now my domain doesn't resolve - what can I do?
Your domain may still be in the redemption period, during which you as the domain owner may be able to redeem it depending on your provider’s policies and procedures. Domains in redemption will have a “Pending Delete” status in the WHOIS. If this is the case, you should contact your provider to discuss the possibility of redemption. This is likely to incur a premium fee, but your provider will be able to advise fully on this.
If the domain is no longer listed in the WHOIS it is available for general registration and you can purchase it as a new registration.
The domain I want to buy expired, but I still cannot buy it
Even though a domain has passed its expiry date it may still be renewed by the domain owner at any time during the 45-day auto-renewal period, or during the 30-day redemption period following a deletion. Unless a domain is expressly deleted by a registrar, it renews automatically for another year at the end of the 45-day period following its expiration.
If the current owner does not wish to renew the domain, the registrar issues a deletion and changes the WHOIS status to “Pending Delete”. If the owner doesn’t request restoration of the domain within 30 days of this redemption period, the domain is kept in a 5-day deletion period, and then released for re-registration. In summation, a domain name may be released for anyone to register in a period between 35 and 80 days after its expiration.
How do I become a .compare accredited registrar?
Direct Accreditation is available solely to ICANN Accredited Registrars. For more information on ICANN Accreditation, please go to ICANN’s website at www.icann.org. If you are already an ICANN Accredited Registrar, you may contact us to get more information on the technical requirements and policies for the accreditation process to offer .compare domain names to your customers or resellers.

Apple Music launched last week with less fanfare than expected, perhaps a victim of early holiday travel ahead of U.S. Independence Day.
Regardless, it is the long haul that matters most to Apple, as the world’s most valuable brand attempts to claw back the early-mover advantage that Swedish rival Spotify has enjoyed – and exploited – to date.
Part of that strategy is likely to be played out on the global stage, as Apple’s new streaming service is available in significantly more markets than its peers.
For a quick comparison, Apple Music has launched in more than 100 countries, which is almost twice as many as Spotify currently operates in. Furthermore, there are a number of territories in which Apple has launched its service where neither Spotify nor any other notable competitors currently operate.
Perhaps most importantly of all, these are not all smaller territories with limited market potential.
Among the territories in which Apple Music will beat Spotify to the punch are India, Russia, Japan, and Nigeria. Between these four alone, the number of potential consumers could stretch into the billions, although activating them inevitably poses a major challenge given prevailing levels of piracy and, with the exception of Japan, less mature streaming markets. This provides a stark contrast to the reverse situation for Spotify, wherein the only markets it will now operate without competition from Apple Music are Turkey, Taiwan and smaller European nations like Liechtenstein and Andorra.
The importance of this advantage cannot be overstated. For many consumers in these countries, which potentially hold the key to the global expansion of streaming music, Apple’s platform will be their first experience of the phenomenon. Given the game-changing nature of digital streaming, not to mention the fact that many hold it up as the long-term solution to piracy, the potential for Apple Music to take giant strides into these territories is just as crucial as its need to build a customer base in the United States, Europe, and Australia.
In June, Spotify announced that it has passed the 20 million mark in terms of paid subscribers, while its overall active user base now numbers more than 75 million globally. Although that growth rate is increasing quickly, Apple Music is not competing from a standing start. The hundreds of millions of active iTunes accounts the Cupertino company has on file provide a solid base to convert to its new service, in addition to the Beats Music users that it hopes to bring across from the service it purchased last year.
All of this sets the stage for an intriguing evolution of the streaming music space. The market, although relatively young, has been waiting for some time for Apple to enter the fray and challenge Spotify’s dominance. It is clearly a battle that Apple intends to win, if the brand’s commitment to pay artists for all streams during its three-month free trial period is anything to go by. That will cost Apple a pretty penny, but the company clearly believes the long-term pay off in terms of brand awareness and the associated loyalty will be worth it.
For artists, the hope has to be that Apple can use its extensive resources to raise awareness of streaming music services and increase . It this really is the piracy killer that many believe it to be, making streaming subscriptions a truly global trend will have everyone involved in the music business singing Apple’s praises.

According to research conducted by the Wall Street Journal, the average US workers wastes an hour a day searching for misplaced information in a messy desk or files. That averages out to a total of 6 full weeks per year. At a salary of $60k, that’s nearly $7,000 in wasted time on the job. With numbers like these, it’s pretty obvious that getting organized does more than just clear out the clutter in your life. It can actually save your business thousands of dollars each and every year.
But getting organized involves more than just moving paper into neat piles or dusting your office. True, effective organization involves strategically creating systems and procedures for all areas of your business. As a result, you will enjoy greater productivity which ultimately translates to a better bottom line. Easier said than done? Not necessarily. Check out these three tried-and-true methods for getting organized once and for all.
Get Your Paperwork Under Control
Want to know what small business owners list as their biggest burden? You guessed it – paperwork. What’s more, a whopping 80% of paper that’s filed away is never referenced again. What a waste!
Given these facts, the logical first step in getting organized is to get your paperwork under control. Start by assessing what you do with documents once you’ve taken action on them. Where do you store them? How easy (or difficult) is it to locate paperwork that you need quickly? If you don’t have a filing system in place – preferably a digital one – the time to implement one is now.
Begin by sorting all of your paperwork into three piles: keep, discard and recycle. This can get a bit tricky, especially with business documentation, so if you’re unsure of what to hold onto, this list should help. Anything that’s not on the “keep” list but that contains sensitive information should be shredded and whatever is left should be recycled.
Once you’ve got a handle on the types of documents you’re dealing with, the next step is to either create or improve on your existing office filing system. Ideally, moving toward a paperless office is recommended, as digital files are much easier to manage and retrieve. There are plenty of options for moving to this type of setup, including various Cloud storage tools, electronic payment services and digital signature programs. Most offer free trials so you can find what works best for your business.
Invest in Productivity Tools
You may already have a bunch of tools and applications that you use on a regular basis. That doesn’t necessarily mean what you’re using is actually best. In fact, with technology changing and improving so rapidly, taking stock in the digital tools you’re using in your small business at least once a year is strongly recommended. This will allow you to identify what’s working, what isn’t and which areas where improvements should be made.
If you’re not sure where to begin, here are a few areas where many small business owners find productivity tools particularly useful:
- Meetings and Communication – Staying on top of your schedule will help you maximize your precious time. Utilizing one of the many electronic calendars and meeting management apps can work wonders.
- Contact Management – Relationship management is one of the most important components of running a successful small business. A customer relationship manager (CRM) system like Salesforce can help you keep track of your clients and manage your networking.
- Accounting – There are a number of quality digital tools – like Quickbooks Online and Xero – that enable business owners to organize and streamline their invoicing, payment processing, cash flow and payroll.
- Email Management – A disorganized inbox can be just as distracting as a cluttered office. Thankfully, there are various tools and extensions, such as SaneBox, that enable users to get their inbox under control with automatic filtering, sorting, reminders and more.
- Social Media – Using automated social media management platforms, like Buffer and Hootsuite, can help you stay on top of your social media activities without having to invest a ton of time.
- Project Management – Another great productivity tool is a project management app like Trello or Teamwork. These are especially helpful for businesses that utilize remote teams.
Obviously, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and you’ll need to take some time to figure out which productivity apps and tools best fit your needs and your business, but these should provide a good starting point.
Wrangle Your Computer
Last, but certainly not least, getting your computer organized is the third key step to implement. Not only will cleaning up and organizing your electronic workspace help you perform your day to day work more effectively, but it will also improve your computer’s overall performance. Here’s what you need to do:
- Straighten out your desktop. Get rid of any icons and desktop shortcuts that you no longer or rarely use.
- Set up a digital filing system. Create files and folders where you will store all of your electronic documents so they’ll be easy to access when you need them.
- Update regularly. If your computer isn’t already set to launch automatic updates, make a point to check for and install application, software and operating system updates at least once a month.
- Perform routine scans. Checking your computer for viruses or performance issues on a regular basis can keep your system running smoothly and securely.
- Back up data. You should also be routinely backing up your data and storing that backup in secure places, such as a Cloud-based storage service or an external hard drive.
If there’s one resolution for your business in 2018, it should be to get more organized. Doing so will help you better serve your customers and make your life infinitely easier.

Updated: Jul 22, 2021
The HaloView MC10 is a review mirror screen with a front-facing camera and wirelessly connects to a review facing camera.
The Rearview mirror replacement takes power from a cigarette lighter port and the camera is wireless to the screen but does require power to run. Our cigarette lights do not turn off with the truck’s engine so they are always on. I didn’t want the screen to always been on, and I didn’t want to get into modifying those fuses since I knew I could pull power from other sources.
We replaced the power cables for the screen to run off of our OBD2 port using this cable from Amazon. This cable is great because you can choose if you want the camera on (and recording) all the time or just for 5 mins after the vehicle has been turned off. It has been a solid solution or us and worked great.
We have had this camera installed for over a month now to really give it a full round of testing. We have driven over 1500 miles with it and overall have been very pleased with it!
If you are looking for a backup camera that has a dashcam functionality this is a great option and worth reviewing!

Digital Parenting Made Easy
How to navigate digital parenting with parental protections and restriction settings.
Do you want to know about the technology and applications that your child is exposed to online?
At Parent ProTech, we are equipping families, educators, and students with the tools and knowledge to enable children and youth to thrive online.
What you can expect to learn
Learn about new technology and trends online
Discover parental restrictions to enable monitoring and online safety
Navigate setting parental controls that promote trust
Set recommendations for platforms to limit exposure to online threats
If They Use It, We Cover It
The average age at which children are beginning to interact with phones, social media apps, gaming consoles, and computers is decreasing at a rapid rate. The internet is not always a safe environment for young people to operate with no restrictions or protections. Online predators, explicit and vulgar content, and hackers are all looking to take advantage of victims who unknowingly are at risk. There are many common practices that can easily be set in place by parents with the right set of tools. We have created a toolkit and we want to share it with you. Parent’s have taken on a new role of digital parenting that requires an additional set of precautions. Without any form of information or familiarity with a child’s technology usage, a parent may be putting their child at risk.
The goal of this course is not “completion”. The goal is to equip parents with a toolkit for their child’s digital security. We have provided a way to learn exactly what you need to know, without any “fluff” content. The course will teach you about platforms that are being used by the majority of today’s youth and exactly how to work with them. Each topic(ex. Instagram) can be covered in 20 minutes or less. The lessons you complete are at your discretion.
In short, no: Our course covers as many different popular types of technologies and apps as we could find. However, each app and device are covered in their own unique chapters. We have created a course where your time and energy are completely customizable based on your child’s devices and age. For example: if you are primarily concerned about Snapchat and Instagram, you can skip directly to these two lessons. If you ever need the other content, it will be waiting for you when you decide to utilize it.

Launched today, the app allows bus customers to access FMCSA’s safety data in a user-friendly way. After entering the name of a given bus company, app users will get information about its safety performance over the previous two years. Icons representing unsafe driving, fatigued driving, driver fitness, controlled substances/alcohol, and vehicle maintenance pop up, along with alerts if a carrier has shown deficiencies in these areas.
In the worst cases, the icons will be replaced by bold red text indicating that a given bus company is forbidden to operate. Customers can also use the app to report safety complaints directly to FMCSA.
Marketed under the banner “Look Before You Book,” this new app provides a quick, practical way to factor in a company’s safety record when selecting among carriers. It also serves as an important reminder that price and convenience are not the only two things customers should look for when purchasing a bus ticket. As always, safety should be the top priority.

While there are some services available for free, it is important to understand the difference between a free and paid conference call. A free audio conference call usually does not have security measures in place, increasing the possibility of the call being hacked. Free conference call services also usually do not allow outbound calling, which can be useful if you need to connect with people who did not RSVP or did not join the call. Moreover, you should choose a free conference call provider that uses local numbers tied to U.S. companies, to avoid paying for international toll charges.
The most popular free conference call service for small teams is Google Hangouts. You can host a meeting with up to 10 people using this service. Meetings with Google Hangouts have no time limits, and you can even use the Chrome extension to participate. The service also offers mobile apps and is compatible with various smartphones. For larger teams, you can use Cisco Webex. Dialpad Meetings is not suitable for large meetings. However, it does offer many features that are useful for small businesses. For example, it is possible to use the service in Microsoft Office, while the one for Google Chrome can be used in Microsoft Workspaces.
Moreover, a free conference call platform should offer advanced security features. It should be able to relay high quality audio and video to all participants. It should be able to distinguish who is talking and who is not. The call will be smooth if everyone can hear each other. You will also be able to see the screen of others on the call, so you will not have to worry about the quality of audio or video. And if you're looking for the best free conference call platform, remember that video quality is key!
Once you've selected a service, make sure to check out the other features offered by the service. For instance, you can use the video conferencing option to broadcast audio files. If you want to conduct a Q&A session, you can ask questions to each participant, and you can also move around the room and listen to each participant's answer. The free conference services include RingCentral Video and Google Meet. You can even record your conference calls with these features.
Make sure you choose a service that offers toll-free access to participants in the United States or Canada. This option is convenient for international participants, because they do not have to pay any extra charges. You can even choose a country-specific toll-free number and enter the same conference code. When choosing a free conference call service, make sure to choose one that offers all the features you require for your business and the highest quality of the calls.
If you're a business, you'll probably want to consider using a paid service for video conferencing. Many of the services offer unlimited video conferencing, which is great if you're running a work-from-home business. While free video conferencing services aren't ideal, you can still get a free trial with a paid service if you're unsure. You can also find inexpensive video conferencing services online.

Modern technology has enabled us to store a large number of data easily and read them at any time very fast. Therefore, the stored information can be used to compute statistics and probabilities for any possible scenario. Betting agencies are using the data to define the odds for bets and sports journalists to communicate the teams’ and players’ statistical information.
Even more, today’s technology can be used to record a large number of data in brief intervals of time. In soccer, it is possible to record the position of each and all players numerous times within a second. The result of such recording is a humongous collection of numbers.
Data Mining (also known as Data Science or Big Data Science) is a term used to describe a discipline which works with these collections of numbers and, by the use of various methods, attempts to discover hidden patterns and order in the collection. Many simple and sophisticated patterns have been discovered through such mining of the data. Professional teams have created their own data mining teams hoping to find ways to get even the slightest advantage over their competitors.
The application of Data Mining in soccer has come to be known as Soccer Analytics.
The series of lectures in this category attempts to educate players about the development and the current status of soccer analytics: how it rose to prominence, how valuable it might be, what benefits have been derived, and where the trends seem to lead.
