Internet where the parties concerned use a camera–microphone combination installed in either their computers or in their smart phones.
For streaming video a speed of at least 2 Mbps is needed, to alleviate a choppy signal and disconnects.
For sound transmission, much less speed is required, so often during times of heavy network congestion video is often turned off, to maintain connection continuity.

The Potsdam Agreement specified that the Council would be composed of the Foreign Ministers of the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, China, France, and the United States.
It would normally meet in London (at Lancaster House) and the first meeting was to take place no later than 1 September 1945.
As the immediate important task, the Council was authorised to draw up treaties of peace with Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland, and to propose settlements of territorial questions outstanding on the termination of the war in Europe.
Also the Council should prepare a peace settlement for Germany to be accepted when a "government adequate for the purpose is established".
A metal rectifier is an early type of semiconductor rectifier in which the semiconductor is copper oxide or selenium.
They were used to convert alternating current to direct current.
They were often used in devices such as radios and battery chargers.
Westinghouse Electric was a major manufacturer of these rectifiers since the late 1920s.
In some countries the term "metal rectifier" is applied to all such devices.
In other countries the term "metal rectifier" normally refers to copper-oxide types, and "selenium rectifier" to  selenium-iron types.
Rectifier used as an AM-demodulator
Cougar Electronics - example of "legacy" selenium rectifier manufacturer
The Copper Oxide Rectifier  This document discusses the history of the copper oxide rectifier, and, in particular, the use of Chilean copper in its manufacture; the thallium catastrophe that befell the manufacture of selenium rectifiers is also discussed.
A Mercury-arc rectifier is a type of rectifier used for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
The cathode is made from a pool of liquid mercury.
Mercury-arc rectifiers  were rugged and durable.
They could carry higher currents than most other types of rectifier.
The mercury-arc rectifier was invented in 1902 by Peter Cooper Hewitt.
They were used to provide power for industrial electric motors, electric railways, trams, and electric locomotives.
Other uses included radio transmitters and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission.
They were the primary method of high power rectification before the advent of solid-state electronics in the 1970s.
The solid-state rectifier has since replaced the mercury-arc rectifier.
A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine.
The simplest form has three main parts:
A rotating gas compressor (SP in the diagram) to compress air
A combustion chamber, called a combustor (KS in the diagram) where fuel is injected
A turbine (TG in the diagram) on the same shaft as the compressor
The diagram shows a single-shaft gas turbine.
One turbine drives both the compressor and the load, such as an electric generator.
There are also two-shaft gas turbines, with separate turbines to drive the compressor and the load.
Two-shaft turbines are better for driving road and rail vehicles because they can give more torque at low speed.
Gauss's Theorema Egregium (Latin for "Remarkable Theorem") is a major result of differential geometry proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss.
The theorem is about the curvature of surfaces.
The theorem states that  curvature can be determined by measuring angles, distances and their rates on a surface alone.
There is no need to talk about the particular manner in which the surface is embedded in the surrounding three-dimensional Euclidean space.
In other words, the Gaussian curvature of a surface does not change if one bends the surface without stretching it.
For this reason the formula of the preceding article leads itself to the remarkable Theorem.
If a curved surface is developed on any other surface whatever, the measure of curvature in each point remains unchanged.
The theorem is "remarkable" because the starting definition of Gaussian curvature makes direct use of the  position of the surface in space.
So it is quite surprising that the result does not depend on its embedding in spite of all bending and twisting deformations undergone.

The two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine.
The two strokes are:
Unlike a four-stroke engine, there are no intake and exhaust strokes.
When the piston is at bottom dead centre, fuel-air mixture is blown in under slight pressure.
The incoming mixture forces out the exhaust gas at the same time.
The animation shows an engine with crankcase compression to force in the fuel-air mixture.
Some engines use a rotary blower instead.
An anchorite (female: anchoress) from "one who has retired from the world", is someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society so as to be able to lead an intensely prayer-filled, ascetic life.
Anchorites are often considered to be a type of religious hermit, unlike hermits, anchorites had to make a promise to God to stay in one place, which was a very small room, either attached to, or within the wall of, a local church.
The anchoritic life is one of the earliest forms of being a Christian monk.
From the 12th to the 16th centuries, female anchorites consistently outnumbered their male equivalents, sometimes by as many as four to one (in the 13th century), dropping eventually to two to one (in the 15th century).
The sex of a high number of anchorites, however, is not recorded for these periods.

The Maratha Empire, or Maratha Confederacy, was a group of Indian states that dominated much of the Indian subcontinent in the 17th and the 18th centuries.
The empire formally existed from 1674 to 1818.
The Marathas are given much of the credit for ending Mughal rule in India.
The Marathas were a warrior people from the western Deccan Plateau (present-day Maharashtra).
They rose to prominence by establishing "self-rule of Hindu/Indian people" in their region.
The Marathas became prominent in the 17th century under the leadership of Shivaji who revolted against the Adil Shahi dynasty and the Mughal Empire and formed a kingdom, with Raigad as his capital.
Known for their mobility, the Marathas were able to consolidate their territory during the Mughal–Maratha Wars and later controlled a large part of the Indian subcontinent.
Their power was eventually ended by the series of wars fought against the British Empire.

Jacques François Mouret (1787–1837) was a French chess player.
He became the chess teacher of the future Louis Philippe I. He was one of the most successful operators of The Turk, a famous chess-playing machine.
Mouret was a great-nephew of the famous chess player Philidor.
He learned the game at the Café de la Régence, taught by Bernard and Carlier, two of Philidor's students.
He was a pupil of Alexandre Deschapelles and later he became a teacher of La Bourdonnais.
He also gave chess lessons to the children of the French King Louis Philippe I. In 1819, he was the operator of The Turk during its tour in England and probably the person, who sold the secret of The Turk to the press.
Mouret was an alcoholic.
In 1842 the editor of the chess magazine Le Palamède, said  "He was a clever fellow, sharp, gay, lively, amusing, and had studied seriously the theory of chess, by which he made his living.
His talent redeemed a little the rudeness of his manner and a certain licentiousness which he indulged in.
He used to be in a continual state of semi-intoxication".
George Walker  wrote that "His brain was consumed in the Brandy".
Mouret was believed to have written a book in 1836, The Treaty Elementary Game of Chess.
But later evidence shows that he only made some corrections to the text.
Mouret and The Turk
Mouret is best known as the person hidden inside The Turk, a fake chess-playing machine.
Mouret was one of many great chess players who worked inside the machine, others being Johann Baptist Allgaier, who defeated Napoleon in 1809, Schlumberger, Boncourt and Lewis.
Fifty games played by Mouret from inside the Turk in London in 1819, are collected in a book published in 1820.
In the beginning of the book it was written that out of 300 games, the Turk (Mouret) only lost six.
Mouret's weakness for drinking often left him without any money, so he probably sold the secret of the Turk in 1834 to Le Magasin picturesque.
The article, An attempt to analyze the automaton chess-player of M. Kempelen, explained how a man could be hidden inside the Turk.
Mouret was not named, but many people.
including Walker, believe he was the source.
The French master was sick and short of money at the time, and died three years later.
The French Defense
Mouret often used a move now called the French Defense.
He was one of the only players to use it and is one of the main reasons for it being called the French Defense.
Mouret taught the move to players at the Café de la Régence.
One of his students convinced the Paris team to use the defense in games played by letters against a London team.
Following the victory of the French team, the opening quickly became known as the French Defense.

Dungeness nuclear power station refers to two nuclear power stations located at Dungeness in Kent, England.
Dungeness A is an old Magnox power station.
It began to operate  in 1965.
It has reached the end of its life and is no longer in use.
Dungeness B is an advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) power station.
It has two 615 MW reactors and began to operate between 1983 and 1985.
Dungeness B was the first commercial scale AGR power station to be built.
Nuclear power stations in the United Kingdom
Magnox is a type of nuclear reactor designed to run on natural uranium.
It uses  graphite as a neutron moderator and carbon dioxide gas as a heat exchange coolant.
The name Magnox comes from the magnesium-aluminium alloy used to clad the fuel rods inside the reactor.
The Magnox was designed for producing both electric power and plutonium-239 for use in nuclear weapons.
The Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) is a type of nuclear reactor used in the United Kingdom.
These are the second generation of British gas-cooled reactors.
They use graphite as the neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as the coolant.
They have been the backbone of the UK's nuclear generation fleet since the 1980s.
Torness nuclear power station was the last of the United Kingdom's second generation nuclear power stations to be commissioned.
It has two Advanced gas-cooled reactors.
Construction began in 1980 and was completed in 1988.
Torness nuclear power station is located approximately  east of Edinburgh at Torness Point near Dunbar in East Lothian, Scotland.
It is a local landmark and is highly visible from the main A1 road and East Coast Main Line railway.
Heysham Nuclear Power Station is a nuclear power station located in Heysham, Lancashire, England.
The site is divided into two separately-managed stations called Heysham 1 and Heysham 2.
Each station has two advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR).
Pressurized water reactors (PWRs) form the large majority of the world's nuclear power plants.
In a PWR, the coolant (water) is pumped under high pressure to the reactor core where it is heated by the energy released by the fission of atoms.
Pressure in the primary coolant loop prevents the water from boiling within the reactor.
The heated water then flows to a steam generator where it transfers heat to a secondary system where steam is generated.
The steam flows to a steam turbine which spins an electric generator.
The used steam is condensed and returned to the steam generator for re-use.
PWRs use ordinary water as both coolant and neutron moderator.
The Mpemba effect is that hot water can, under certain circumstances, not only freeze but do so quicker than colder water.
This phenomenon has been reported as working as far back as Ancient Greece, even though it would seem contradictory to the laws of thermodynamics.
In 1969 a scientist named Erasto B. Mpemba did experiments that proved that the effect is real, however, scientists are left with more questions than answers.
Many solutions have been suggested as reasons for this phenomenon, but none have been agreed upon by scientists and most contradictory explanations were obtained by very different experiments with different controls.
Perhaps someday after more study scientists will understand this, but currently the results are inconclusive at best.
Communications-based train control (CBTC) is a railway signaling system that makes use of telecommunications between the train and track equipment.
By means of a CBTC system, the exact position of a train is known more accurately than with the traditional signaling systems.
This results in a more efficient and safe way to manage trains.
Metros (and other railway systems) are able to run more frequent trains while maintaining or even improving safety.
Rolling stock means vehicles that move on a railway.
It can include both powered and unpowered vehicles.
Examples are locomotives, passenger cars, tank cars and boxcars.
