Meh, wife has gone out with her mom and I'm stuck home because I'm not feeling well. I'm bored and have nothing else to do....hold on to your hat...

So, you can use something like adobe audition to try and maybe EQ to try and remove the wind noise in post-production(though, not if it's a live/news anchor type broadcast [more on this, later] because the audio is going straight out with the video and there isn't really any "post"). Really though, the best way is to try and get it right the first time, and there are a few different ways of doing this - depending on the situation....

Microphones


There are two main types of microphones - condenser mics and dynamic mics. You can read more about their pros, cons and differences here

Shotgun Condenser Mic

The first way is with what's called a shotgun mic, these are easily recognisable from their long, thin shape. The one pictured here is the very popular NTG-2.

The basic idea of these mics are that they record only what is directly in front of them, and very little else. These are what you would stereotypically see mounted on high end "camcorders" from the 80s or 90s like this

These are also the types of mics you sometimes see poking into shot above scenes in TV shows if you watch closely and are usually the type of mic you see the "soundman" carrying you can see an example of this, here (complete with deadcat no less). These types of mics are used becuase they are highly directional and good at eliminating background noise from things like an audience laughing, or traffic in the street etc. This works by having the actual microphone capsule at the end of a very long tube with holes down the side of the tube. The air interference through these holes cancels out any off-axis(anything the mic isn't actually pointing at) sound.(more on this here).

I've also seen a shotgun mic used for field reporting hand-held a few times for the reasons outlined above. Though, I wouldn't recommend this without a shock mount because they are usually condenser mics and are therefore very sensitive.

Hand Held Dynamic Mic

The next way I guess would be a hand-held mic of some sort. These are usually the type of mic you'd see reporters holding and can be easily recognised because of the short, fat bobble at the top (the stereotypical "microphone" look). Most of these are Dynamic Microphones (though not all) because dynamic microphones have what's called a "cardiod pickup pattern"

Lavalier Mic

These types of mics are the kind you see as a little black spot clipped to someone's shirt collar. These are sometimes used for live reporting, but more often used in a studio setting for panel shows, news anchors etc.

I don't work in the broadcast industry so I can't say for sure what the reasoning for this, but my suspicion is that these are used in situations where you don't want the mic to be visible, or where performers might need to move about - for example on [whose line is it anyway?]
(http://media.cwtv.com/cwtv/digital-smiths/thumbs/2013/08/05/WhoseLineIsItAnyway-112-Wilson-Bethel_bp-fix_a75e7362_CWtv_720x400.jpg)), or on news anchors. Whereas, in live news settings they actually use the mic with a custom mic flag to advertise the news station.

Digital Recorder

This is one I've not seen used very often, but you do sometimes see reporters in huge crowds round a celebrity holding little boxes asking for comment whilst shoving those boxes in their face.. See here. I can't say for sure what kind of digital recorders those are, but I'm pretty sure that's what they are.

Audio Capture


As far as audio capture goes, there are a few different options here too...

Live

In a live setting, the audio just goes into a mixing board and then out to the viewers or listeners.

Off Camera Field Recorder

Sometimes, the audio can go via a cable(Wireless mics do exist also - so, not always) from the mic into an field recorder this is the one that I have where it is recorder on to an SD card for later editing.

On Camera Field Recorder

Another way is the macro recorder that just clips into the microphone's mic cable socket. This is the Tascam DR-10X that works in a very similar way to the off-camera recorder, but without a wire between the mic and the recorder. News agencies LOOOOOVE these for some reason, I've seen them used a lot. Sometimes you can see a small lump on the end of the mic - it's often a clip on recorder like that....don't be fooled though - Sennheiser make something that looks very similar but is actually a wireless transmitter for the mic, there would then be a wireless receiver going into the sound board to be mixed before broadcast. These are popular when reporting in places that you might not want to lug lots of cabling or a mic boom to. You can leave all your audio equipment somewhere safe in the back of a van say, and just take the camera and microphone with you.

USB Connection

So I don't think I've ever seen one of these used, but it does deserve an honourable mention because it's an awesome piece of kit if you want to be able to use professional mics with your computer easily. That is the Shure X2U. It can turn any mic with a standard XLR connection into a USB mic. It can even provide 48v phantom power to power condenser microphones. I have one and I use it with my AT-2020


I find it makes watching the news more interesting when I start to notice these sorts of things like the kinds of mic they're using and how they're being used...Hope all that makes sense - I'm happy to answer any follow up questions you have...

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/animal-emotions/201711/cows-science-shows-theyre-bright-and-emotional-individuals

​



>Learning and Cognition: In this section, we learn that cows display the ability to rapidly learn different tasks, display long-term memory, extrapolate the location of a hidden moving object, discriminate complex stimuli, and discriminate humans from one another. The authors note, "Calves as well as adult cows show learned fear responses to humans who have previously handled them in a rough manner." Cows also display complex spatial memory and are able to discriminate among individual cows and recognize cow faces as different from the faces of other species. 
>
>Emotions: A good deal of research has been done on the emotional lives of cows and we know that they experience a wide range of emotions. For example, they display fear and anxiety and the less eye white that is seen, the better they feel. When cow mothers are separated from their calves, as is done as they are being prepared for meals, there is an increase in the amount of eye white. Ears also are indicators of a cow's emotional state. Relaxed ear postures indicate cows are feeling okay. Cows also like to play, as do countless other nonhuman animals. And, they how decreased play when their well-being is compromised. One very important discovery is that when cows are stressed, such as after they're branded with a hot iron, they show a decrease in the ability to judge ambiguous stimuli, as do humans. For more discussion of the emotional lives of cows please see "The Cow's Nose Shows How They're Feeling About Life," "The Emotional Lives of Cows: Ears Tell Us They're Feeling OK," and links therein. 
>
>Marino and Allen also report that cows display emotional contagion. They write, "A series of studies on a form of emotional contagion mediated by olfactory cues has shown that when cows are exposed to stressed conspecifics they too show pronounced stress responses, such as decreased feeding and increased cortisol release." I often stress that cows and other so-called "food animals" not only see family members, friends, and others being killed for food, they also smell and hear what's happening. It's also known that the presence of other cows can buffer the stress that cows feel on their way to market. This called "social buffering" and has been demonstrated in other nonhumans. Mothers and calves also show extreme distress when separated. This is not at all surprising but remains a common practice in the animal-food industry.
>
>Personality: Cows, similar to numerous other nonhumans, display a full range of personalities including boldness, shyness, sociability and gregariousness, and being temperamental. Of course, these are not surprising results and people working with and studying cows have known this for a long time.
>
>Social Complexity: Concerning this topic, Marino and Allen write that the social complexity hypothesis "suggests that the challenges encountered in the social environment place selective pressures on brain evolution" and "there should be a positive relationship between social complexity and individual intelligence across species." From a practical point of view, they note, "Bergman and Beehner (2015) propose a contemporary definition of social complexity that preserves the central role of cognition: "... social complexity should be measured as the number of differentiated relationships that members of a species have with conspecifics” (p. 205). The authors conclude that research on cows clearly shows that "Given a general definition of social complexity as the number of differentiated relationships, the knowledge about conspecifics, and the knowledge of one’s own and other animals' social interactions and relationships, cows display broad parameters of social complexity in empirical studies. They have demonstrated knowledge about conspecifics and the exchange of relevant social knowledge with conspecifics. Through dominance hierarchies and affiliative bonds, they have demonstrated knowledge about conspecifics and of their own social interactions with them." 
>
>The knowledge translation gap
>
>As in many other venues in which nonhumans are routinely and brutally abused, detailed information from scientific studies is not used on their behalf. Along these lines, Marino and Allen write, "Yet, despite empirical evidence for complex emotional, social, and cognitive functioning, there is still a gap between our understanding and acceptance of complex emotions and intelligence between our pets (namely, dogs and cats) and farmed or 'food' animals (Herzog, 2010; Joy, 2009)."
>
>It's essential to use what we know on behalf of other animals with whom we interact, use, and abuse. Unfortunately, a "knowledge translation gap" still exists and what we know is not used on their behalf in far too many situations. Basically, the knowledge translation gap refers to the practice of ignoring tons of science showing that other animals are sentient beings and going ahead and causing intentional harm in human-oriented arenas. On the broad scale, it means that what we now know about animal cognition and emotion has not yet been translated into an evolution in human attitudes and practices (for more discussion please see "Animals Need More Freedom, Not Bigger Cages").

If it happens often, you might have what's called supination(or underpronation). It's where your foot naturally rolls outward. Example pic

Some people just naturally supinate, but it might be from a condition. I personally was just diagnosed with heel varus and metatarsus adductus. My podiatrist says I'll probably need surgery in like ten years.


If you don't have an actual condition, or even if you do, consider some insoles, and not soft gel insoles. You'll want something with rigid support. Rigid orthotics changed my life. When I have these puppies in, I never want to take my shoes off.

I am currently using Spenco Total Support MAX. The max part is key. The max is the rigid version of the total support.

Another really popular insole is Superfeet Green.

There is also the Superfeet MerinoGREY. They're the exact same model as the green, but have merino wool for more softness and warmth.

Hi everyone,

​

I just published a short kindle ebook about gaining more self esteem and confidence. It is only 0,99$ but if you say you do not want to spend that small amount I could also send it to you for free. Just reach out to me then. In return I would highly appreciate a review. If you are interested here is the link:

u/FliesLikeABrick · 2 pointsr/therewasanattempt

there are 3-4 books that I keep at least 2 copies on-hand of, because they are informative and I like giving them to people with no expectation of giving them back.

Ok this sounds like I am talking about religious texts - they aren't. They are:

- Normal Accidents: Living with High-Risk Technologies

- The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right

- The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing

- The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Books. Big Profits)

​

The first two are must-reads for engineers working in any kind of system, be it computers, electronics, mechanical, or people systems (project management, etc)

​

The last 2 I tend to recommend to people who think that reasonable investment awareness and decisions requires a lot of specialized knowledge and attention

Anything on the net, is safe to assume to be compromised. Depending on how long it has been out there and how important it is perceived to be.

The FBI has and will continue to do so.

I am not a conspiracy whack job if I can file multiple police reports with measurable assault of my being.

I don’t think everyone is of interest. There are criteria one has to fulfill. Loners, druggies, odd balls, socially awkward or inept persons, charismatic or influential outspoken types, all fall into a ripe category for torment.

It is not conspiracy when there are people coming forward. It is not a conspiracy when there is evidence. It is not a conspiracy when there are attacks in Cuba. It is not a conspiracy when there are schematics can be used to make such implements. It is not a conspiracy when there does not exist legislation for sadist devices that can be bought for as little as $40 by anyone.

Momentum is the value that the momentum operator gives you. It will be related to the time evolution of the field, as you would expect for a quantity classically related to velocity. In coherent states, which are mixtures of states in any bases that are sufficiently localized in space, the classical limit is recovered.


Spin is the result of another operator, but what it gives you is the angular momentum of an electron. Everybody agrees on this. No physicist thinks it's actually spinning because they're not dense and have enough imagination to know a vector quantity can exist all on its own. Here are two experts that agree on this definition - I know this because all the experts agree on the definition, because they're all working with the exact same mathematical model.

This is literally first year stuff, as in actual first years taking physics classes in college will learn it. Occasionally, they will delay it to their second year - I suppose that was my ego at play.

They're much thicker boost material.
I have three pair. The triple blacks look best but they're the least comfortable. Not sure why.

Don't buy through Adidas. The 9317 can be had for very very cheap. I think I paid like 60 for some of mine

I bought a Rexing camera off of Amazon that has been holding up well. Link here, I have this model with an included back camera that cost me $20 more.

You can go with whatever camera you want based on personal preference and budget, but I would recommend you get one that's a capacitor model, not a battery one. The capacitor ones only last a few seconds while the car is turned off fully but that's fine, you won't have to worry about a battery dying and leaking all over your car.

Interestingly enough, the man who came up with that theory has since discredited it. His research couldn't support it, as it was only true of wolves in captivity (not even wolves in the wild). There's a really interesting book on it called Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know . It's a fascinating read about dogs and how the perceive the world, and it goes into that now-debunked theory.
