The Exile

Everyday Drabbles #802

The only criminal punishment in the mountain city was exile. What greater torment than to know that paradise was forever out of reach? The offender was tied to the back of a llama and draped with bells. Everyone in the city heard his passage. Only a few hours later, he was stopped and freed by a strange assortment of travelers. He recognized a few of them as fellow exiles. Their leader turned with him to the shimmering lights of the city. “They think their beautiful cage is all there is,” she said. “Would you like to see what we’ve built?”

favorite ranged + melee + throwable?

Hank: I prefer pistols and rifles when it comes to ranged. Swords and knives for melee, and shurikens and daggers for throwables. Anything is a throwable if you throw it hard enough, though.

Sanford: Ranged? Probably a good ol' fashioned 12 gauge shotgun. Why put one hole in a guy when you can put a dozen holes in 'em? For melee and throwables, it's gotta be my trusty hook. It's got the best of both worlds.

Deimos: Definitely the MP7 sub-machine gun, but I'll take an MP5 if those're out of stock. I don't like gettin' too close to these bozos, but if I gotta choose a melee weapon I'd probably go for a knife. Somethin' light and easy to swing but not any less deadly? And when I throw stuff it better be a grenade or a flashbang.

Doc: Of course, I prefer sniper rifles, so the VSS Vintorez is my go to pick. However if there's not one available, anything with a scope will do. I usually prefer to use two knifes if I have to go melee, but ideally that wouldn't even happen. I'm a real big fan of frag grenades or any kind of throwable explosive device.

Tricky: I LOVE LIGHT MACHINE GUNS!!! NOTHING LIKE DUMPING OVER 100 ROUNDS OF LEAD AT SOME IDIOTS WHILE THEY SCRAMBLE FOR COVER!!! OF COURSE MY FAVORITE MELEE WEAPON IS GOING TO BE MY STOP SIGN, I SHOULDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY THAT!!! AND IF I'M REALLY ANNOYED AT SOMEONE, I CAN THROW IT AT THEM TOO!!

Jeb: Smith and Wesson .500 Magnum Revolver. My personal favorite when it comes to dealing with my enemies. It can be used at longer ranges due to its long barrel, and is perfectly competent at mid to short ranges. The lack of ammo capacity is a notable detractor, but when you're as accurate as me, it matters a lot less. Of course, my binary sword quickly enters the 'favorites' category when it comes to melee weapons. Long reach, high durability, and more than enough sharpness to stab or cleave through anyone unfortunate enough to stand in the way. For thrown weapons, I have my dissonant bolts for that. I don't even have to aim them, just think about where I want them to go and they'll do it.

Crackpot: Ranged weapons are unfortunately quite uncommon down here, but I was always very fond of bows and crossbows. Quite primitive compared to a gun, but the right type of arrowhead will render even the toughest armor useless. Not to mention they are very, very quiet, which is useful when moving around zed-infested areas. Us buoyant have mastered hook type weapons, for use as melee and as thrown. Very useful for closing the distance without a ranged weapon.

Sheriff: Well 'a 'course I'm gonna respond with a good ol' fashioned revolver. I wouldn't be much of a cowpoke without one. 6 shots ain't a lot, but when you got two of 'em, you can make that 12. More n' enough to kill anythin' that moves. I personally don't like t' get my hands dirty, but I'll take a good ol' huntin' knife if I can get my hands on one. Somethin' that won't break on me too quick like. I'd also probably take some throwin' knives or axes, I ain't the best at it but I can land my shots decent enough. They ain't ideal, but useful in a pinch, or as a last ditch attack.

Phobos: I personally do not use guns. I always found them to be quite uncivilized. They are...Below me. You may think me a fool for that, but can you block and reflect bullets back at your enemies with a sword? A trusty blade is more than enough to suit the needs of a distinguished gentleman such as myself. Not to mention they can be thrown at the enemy if need be, but I prefer to get up close and personal.

Auditor: High capacity weapons such as light machine guns and high explosives like rocket launchers or grenade launchers. I am not physically harmed by either of these things, so I find them to be most effective when dealing with enemies myself. These days I tend to default to the modified version of the binary sword I picked up off Christoff, however before that, I was quite fond of the megachete. I am not restricted by things such as weight, so I found them quite effective due to their large size and chopping power. If I ever need to throw something, I will likely just cast fireballs from my hands.

Best Practices for Maintaining and Upgrading Your Video Surveillance System

In today's fast-changing technological environment, the functionality, security, and effectiveness of your Video Surveillance System (VSS) become more vital than ever, particularly in industries whose business processes depend on real-time monitoring and proactive safety measures. With video analytics, construction monitoring, and generative AI dashboards, companies will have better prospects at optimizing their operations and productivity due to the flawless stream of video surveillance. But for all these, keeping and upgrading your system becomes a must-do. Some of the best practices in VSS management are as follows:

Regular Hardware Maintenance

The foundation of an effective Video Surveillance System lies in the well-maintained hardware: whether cameras, servers, or networking equipment, make sure they are in top condition. Cameras should be checked periodically for dust, dirt, or damage that might obscure the line of vision. Cleaning lenses and ensuring all wiring and connections remain intact are frequently done activities. In the case of viAct, for example, which can be easily hooked up to existing CCTV configurations, the optimization of RTSP links and camera placement may avoid inefficiencies in the system.

Software Updates and Upgrades

A solid Video Surveillance System needs periodical software updates to ensure proper functioning. Such systems like, for example, the AI-enabled VSS from viAct will use video analytics and generative AI, so they should be updated periodically so as not to get outdated fast. Let it be a habit to check for software updates that introduce new functionalities such as advanced AI modules, enhanced real-time alert capabilities, or even predictive analysis. These updates improve the performance of the system while keeping the system in conformity with the latest industry regulations, for example, Singapore's Ministry of Manpower's MOM requirements for VSS.

Adopt AI and Video Analytics

If you do not have a Video Surveillance System that is AI-enabled yet, you can consider an upgrade to one that is. Systems such as those offered by viAct come with a plethora of features in an AI-enabled system, including automatic detection of safety breaches, behavioral analysis, and predictive insights. The use of over 100+ pre-built modules, for example, PPE detection or alerts related to worker-machine proximity, ensures that the system is proactive rather than reactive and tends to alert you promptly to possible danger. These types of capabilities in systems are very important - especially in construction industries, for example, which require full-time monitoring.

Data-Driven Monitoring and Analytics

A new video surveillance system, VSS, does not just record video - it processes data into actionable insights. Real-time oversight and alerts made possible with systems like viAct's AI-powered dashboard help you react quickly when safety breaches or other operational inefficiencies occur. This provides an opportunity for analyzing data in real-time to modify their operations for better productivity and risk management. For example, the system of viAct has been proven to show drastically reduced non-productive hours of workers while significantly increasing job site efficiency.

Ensure Compliance with Industry Regulations

Keeping up with updates in your Video Surveillance System (VSS) allows you to honor all the latest regulations in the industry. The MOM in Singapore, for instance, has very strict rules surrounding VSS in construction sites. Systems like viAct may be designed within such regulatory boundaries but are full of construction monitoring capabilities. This is especially so when remote sites form part of your operation, whereby the adoption of portable solutions like viMOV, compliant with local transport and utilities guidelines, means you remain compliant even in the most challenging environments.

Conclusion

Maintenance and upgradation of your Video Surveillance System (VSS) is critical to protecting your operations as well as maximizing efficiency. With AI and video analytics advancements along with real-time monitoring, organizations can now actually manage risks proactively and workflows streamlined. With systems such as viAct providing state-of-the-art technologies including 100+ AI modules, predictive insights, and instant real-time alerts, it's easy to see how a well-maintained, updated video surveillance system can indeed change the game in safety and productivity. Given these best practices, your VSS will remain a priceless asset, satisfying regulatory needs for the industry, but also offering a safer and more efficient work environment.

The Soyuz that launched today is carrying NASA's Don Pettit and cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner. The trio is expected to arrive at the ISS around 3:30 p.m. EDT (1930 GMT), just three hours after launch. They'll join nine people aboard the orbiting lab: NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Tracy Caldwell-Dyson, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Barry Wilmore and Suni Williams, and cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin and Oleg Kononenko. ... There are also three people living aboard China's Tiangong space station at the moment — Li Cong, Li Guangsu and Ye Guangfu of the nation's Shenzhou 18 mission — and four astronauts inhabiting a free-flying Crew Dragon. That quartet — Jared Isaacman, Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon —launched Tuesday (Sept. 10) on the five-day Polaris Dawn mission. Their Crew Dragon, named Resilience, has already gotten farther from Earth than any crewed vehicle since the Apollo era, and Polaris Dawn aims to make more history soon: Isaacman and Gillis plan to conduct the first-ever private spacewalk at around 2:20 a.m. EDT (0620 GMT) on Thursday (Sept. 12). The record for most people in space overall is 20, set in May 2023 and then tied on Jan. 26 of this year. On both occasions, 14 orbiting spaceflyers were joined briefly in the final frontier by six space tourists who reached the suborbital realm aboard Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity space plane. VSS Unity gets more than 50 miles (80 kilometers) above Earth, which NASA and the U.S. military regard as the beginning of outer space. But the vehicle doesn't reach the 62-mile-high (100 km) Kármán line, which some other people and organizations recognize as space's boundary.

Histoire 6 / " Nous nous soulèverons et peut-être que notre colère sera aussi forte que les agressions. "

Chère Mathilde.... Je n'ai pas cherché justice, je savais que je ne la trouverais pas.

Ado, je voulais être criminologue pour... poursuivre les agresseurs sexuels sur mineur. Je mettais sur le compte de mon incroyable évitement de mon oncle, à 12 ans, qui cherchait à me toucher. Dommage pour lui, il était hémiplégique donc après ça j'évitais le côté valide. Et puis sont arrivés la horde d'adultes, avec les années, mon 1er patron qui achetait des tailles inférieures à son personnel féminin pour mieux passer ses gros doigts entre les boutons des chemisiers, ma hantise de travailler pour des hommes. En magasin, de les servir. J'ai mis 1 mois à refuser de vendre du prêt-à-porter Homme, je restais côté femme. Et finir par se retrouver avec un mec à poil dans sa cabine d'essayage alors qu'il te demande de regarder pour un conseil.

L'appréhension, toujours. Toute ma vie.

Dehors, avec l'impossibilité de faire 100 sans être emmerdée. Même passé 35 ans, toujours un imbécile pour sortir de la vitre passager et tendre les bras vers toi, sur le trottoir pour t'attraper les seins. Sortir et coucher avec quelqu'un qui nous héberge, parce que traquenard il y a eu entre 2 copains.

En relation, quand on ne nous a jamais parlé de consentement, mais de faire plaisir, nous les femmes, de s'adapter aux besoins de l'autre , de l'homme. Élever des filles, en refusant qu'il n'y ait pas de WC au rez-de-chaussé pour éviter aux invités de monter à côté de leurs chambres.

Et puis 2018, avec un patron évité pendant 1 an et demi. Alors c'était "juste" une agression sexuelle, juste un main qui attrape mon foulard posé sur mon sein, en le touchant. C'était juste ce qui m'a fait quitter la boîte dans laquelle je bossais, avec perte et tracas, ou fracas 😂😅. Commissariat le lendemain, une inspectrice géniale, formée aux VSS, qui voulait que je porte plainte quand de mon côté; je préférais laisser une trace mais ne pas perdre mon énergie pour perdre de toute manière. Me venger en le disant à tous les employés croisés... et qu'il sache que maintenant, il est fiché.

Et puis une colère noire, juste après mon mariage, 6 mois après. Colère contre un "ancien pote", disant des prostituées que "c'est leur choix et qu'elles n'ont qu'à écarter les cuisses". 3 semaines après, toujours en colère, toujours la rage au cœur... et la sensation que le problème est plus profond, plus viscéral.

Des mots résonnent, suite à un soin passé : "ton grand-père n'aime pas les femmes". 6 mois d'attente pour revoir cette praticienne, d'hypnose chez la psy, qui elle-même formule que vu mon passé gyneco, il s'est passé quelques chose, très jeune. Bien sûr, ne rien prouver, de toute façon, il est mort. Et puis, la famille qui sous-estime les faits (Moi aussi, ton oncle, après son Avc, il a essayé de me caresser => punaise tata, j'étais une enfant 😡). La famille qui ne te soutient pas et celle qui t'appelle pour t'insulter. Qui accuse que tu aies causé la mort de tes grand-parents, pour avoir parlé.

Je ne cherchais pas la justice des hommes, mais au moins le soutien de ma famille. De ma mère. Elle à qui je demandais, petite, ce qu'elle avait subi. Elle qui oublie son enfance pour effacer la douleur. Alors c'est sans fin.

Aujourd'hui, le toucher de l'homme que j'aime est un problème. Réminiscence de cette vie, de vies passées. Son incompréhension et ma colère quand il ne saisit pas que oui, nous les femmes, nous sommes oppressées et qu'un jour, faute de justice, nous nous soulèverons et peut-être que notre colère sera aussi forte que les agressions.

Alors ce témoignage ne sera sans doute pas suffisamment lié à la justice, mais il m'a permis d'écrire, de poser des mots pas juste dans ma tête. Merci Mathilde. Vraiment. Pour ton courage, ta force, tes failles et de ne pas te conformer aux Injonctions. Tu es une voie , en plus d'une voix.

WASHINGTON: Kâr amacı gütmeyen Space Trust'ın kurucusu ve başkanı Namira Salim, Cuma günü uzaya çıkan ilk Pakistanlı oldu.Virgin Galactic'in 2023'teki dördüncü görevi olan Galactic 04'ün bir parçası olan Salim, 2006 senesinde 200.000 dolara Virgin Galactic biletini satın alan ilk 100 şahıs arasındaydı. Yolculuğunun maliyeti o zamandan beri 450.000 dolara çıktı. Virgin Galactic'in VSS Unity gemisinde Salim, İngiliz reklam uzmanı Trevor Beattie ve ABD'li astronomi eğitimcisi Ron Rosano, Nicola Pecile ve Pakistan-Kanadalı pilot Jameel Janua tarafınca yönetilen uçuşun "ücretli" üç yolcusuydu. Uzay uçağı, yörünge altı bir yörüngeyle New Mexico'daki Spaceport America'dan (dünyanın ilk amaca yönelik inşa edilmiş ticari uzay limanı) havalandı.Belirlenen yüksekliğe ulaşıldığında, VSS Unity ana gemiden özgür bırakıldı ve yolcular birkaç dakika "ağırlıksızlık" yaşadı ve peşinden yörüngeye ulaşamayacakları için gezegenin uzayın arka planına karşı eğriliği görünümüyle Dünya'ya geri döndü.45'ten fazla araçta 4.000'den fazla uçuş saatine haiz olan Janjua'ya, uzay uçağını uçururken Kelly Latimer ve CJ Sturckow da birlikte rol aldı. Her iki vasıta da (ana vapur ve VSS Unity) görevden sonrasında Spaceport America'ya geri döndü.Bu haftanın başlarında Virgin Galactic, yaklaşan uzay turizmi uçuşunu bigün 6 Ekim Cuma gününe ertelediğini deklare etti.Kâr amacı gütmeyen Space Trust'ın kurucusu ve başkanı Salim, uzun süredir bir maceraperesttir ve hem Nisan 2007'de Şimal Kutbu'nu hem de Ocak 2008'de Cenup Kutbu'nu ziyaret eden ilk Pakistanlı olmuştur.Çarşamba günü, Bekçi Başbakan Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, Namira Salim'i Pakistan'dan uzaya giden ilk hanım olduğundan kutlama etti.Kakar, X hesabına "Pakistanlı bayanlar birçok alanda öncü olarak cesaretlerini kanıtlayarak tüm ülkeyi gururlandırıyor" diye yazdı ve ona talih diledi.

Virgin Galactic sent its first privately funded adventurers — and its first space sweepstakes winners — past the 50-mile space boundary today. The tourists on the suborbital space trip known as Galactic 02 included Keisha Schahaff, who won two tickets in an online contest organized by the Omaze charity sweepstakes platform and a nonprofit group called Space for Humanity in 2021. She and her daughter, Anastatia Mayers, became the first mother-and-daughter duo to share a spaceflight, and the first spacefliers from the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda. “I kind of feel like I was born in this life for this,” Schahaff, a wellness coach, told NBC’s “Today” show. Her daughter is a college student who aims to become an astrobiologist. Jon Goodwin — an 80-year-old British adventurer who competed as a canoeist in the 1972 Olympics — also broke barriers on today’s Galactic 02 flight. In 2005, he was one of the first customers to reserve a spot with Virgin Galactic, back when the price was $200,000. Then, almost a decade ago, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Today he became only the second person with Parkinson’s to take a space trip. (The first was NASA shuttle astronaut Rich Clifford.) “When I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I thought, ‘Well, that’s it. They’re not going to accept me any longer,'” Goodwin said before the flight. “The fact that I am now one of three [on] the first commercial trip to go into space, with suffering with Parkinson’s for nine years, just shows you this attitude of ‘Space for All’ is a wonderful attitude.” Rounding out the crew were Virgin Galactic pilots C.J. Sturckow and Kelly Latimer, and chief astronaut instructor Beth Moses. This was the first spaceflight for Latimer. Today’s flight profile followed the routine that was set during Virgin Galactic’s test flights, plus a research mission known as Galactic 01 that was flown for the Italian Air Force in June. The SpaceShipTwo rocket plane known as VSS Unity was slung underneath its twin-fuselage carrier airplane, VMS Eve, for takeoff from Spaceport America in New Mexico at 8:30 a.m. MT (14:30 UTC). About 47 minutes later, Unity was released from Eve at an altitude of 44,300 feet and fired up its rocket motor for the climb to a maximum height of a little more than 290,000 feet (55 miles, or 88.4 kilometers). That altitude exceeded the 50-mile space boundary as defined by NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration — but stayed below the internationally recognized 100-kilometer (62-mile) space boundary known as the Karman Line. At the top of the ride, the riders in Unity’s passenger cabin unstrapped themselves from their seats and experienced a few minutes of weightlessness. They also marveled at views of a curving Earth beneath the black sky of space. They returned to their seats for the high-G descent — and then unfurled an Antiguan flag to celebrate their milestone. Virgin Galactic’s webcast showed a crowd of well-wishers on Antigua cheering on the spacefliers — and one of those well-wishers was the company’s billionaire founder, Richard Branson. Proud to be in Antigua and Barbuda to watch today's historic @virgingalactic spaceflight alongside astronauts Keisha and Anastatia’s family and friends. Big hugs with Keisha's mum Florence! #Galactic02 https://t.co/1313b4AxII pic.twitter.com/4cVnfltXjx— Richard Branson (@richardbranson) August 10, 2023 Unity glided to a landing back at Spaceport America a little bit after 9:30 a.m. MT (15:30 UTC). The carrier aircraft, piloted by Nicola Pecile and Mike Masucci, touched down minutes later. Although this was the first Virgin Galactic mission to carry crew members who could be considered space tourists, the first crewed flight of Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital spaceship set an earlier precedent. That flight carried an 18-year-old Dutch student named Oliver Daemen, whose family paid an undisclosed fare for the trip. Mayers is also 18, and is now the youngest woman to take a suborbital spaceflight. The post Virgin Galactic Flies Its First Privately Funded Space Tourists appeared first on Universe Today.

Pirate Captain

Everyday Drabbles #794

The pirate captain picked up his guitar and plucked out a familiar tune. They’d had a good day and plundered some treasure for once. He took the rare opportunity to be alone while the crew celebrated. He eyed the chest of doubloons sitting on his map table. Real piracy was nothing like the movies. Usually he was lucky to keep his crew fed and the ship afloat. There wasn’t much thrill in plundering potatoes. But some days, being stranded in the past almost seemed worth it. The captain considered having his crew bury the treasure just to mess with historians.

best free cloning software

It's inescapable: eventually you will have to recuperate from a catastrophe. You'll have an old hard drive fizzle and it is possible that you'll lose significant information or the machine will won't boot. At the point when this happens, on the off chance that you end up having a reinforcement picture or clone of the harmed or degenerate source drive, recuperating your information to another drive will be far more straightforward.

best free cloning software

Tragically, retail hard plate imaging programming, as Acronis Reinforcement and Reestablish, may not be in everybody's spending plan. When you don't have the spending plan, what do you do? You a circle imaging utility recorded here, all of which work effectively of cloning a hard plate drive at a great cost… free.

A portion of these hard drive cloning applications are more remarkable than others. While some will do a-bit for-cycle duplicate, others make a full ISO picture of your running framework. Some are Windows explicit and others couldn't care less what working framework you're running. Eventually, what's significant is that you utilize the instrument that best suits your abilities and necessities.

SEE: Programming utilization strategy (TechRepublic Premium)

1. Clonezilla Clonezilla is one of my number one HDD cloning instruments. This specific interpretation of the cloning system is more similar to a bootable Linux dispersion that can do little by little duplicating, and it upholds a lot of record frameworks (counting FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, UFS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, xfs, jfs, btrfs, f2fs, nilfs2 and even LVM2). There's an unattended mode and multicast support worked in, as well as the capacity to reinstall the Grub bootloader. Clonezilla may be the absolute most impressive plate duplicate device accessible that doesn't have a sticker price. Also, assuming that you're hoping to clone numerous machines rapidly, Clonezilla SE can clone 40 machines without a moment's delay. Clonezilla utilizes a condemnations based interface, so some could find it a piece testing from the outset.

2. Macrium Reflect Free Version Macrium Reflect Free Version promotes itself as one of the quickest plate cloning utilities accessible. This hard drive cloning programming upholds just Windows record frameworks, however it does it very well and has a genuinely direct UI. This product plates imaging and circle cloning, permits you to get to pictures from the record supervisor, makes a Linux salvage Disc, and is viable with Windows. The Macrium free release is likewise equipped for making differential pictures, do coordinate circle cloning, boot reinforcements into a Hyper-V virtual machine, run planned reinforcements, do uncovered metal reestablishes and could encode reinforcements.

3. DriveImage XML DriveImage XML utilizes Microsoft VSS to make pictures and does as such with the dependability you probably won't anticipate in a free device. With DriveImage XML you can make "hot" pictures from a hard circle currently being used. Pictures are put away in XML documents, so you can get to them from any supporting outsider programming. DriveImage XML can likewise reestablish a picture to a machine without the requirement for a reboot. This imaging programming runs under Windows XP, 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It's critical to take note of that you can't utilize DriveImage XML economically. To involve this item for business purposes, you should get a permit. You can buy a business DriveImage XML permit for 5 ($100), 10 ($150), 20 ($200), 50 ($400) and 100 ($500) clients.

4. Mondo Salvage Mondo Salvage is an open source fiasco recuperation arrangement that upholds most Linux disseminations, as well as FreeBSD. Mondo Salvage can work with tapes, circles, organization and Cd/DVD reinforcement objections. You'll track down help for various filesystems, (for example, ext2, ext3, ext4, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, NTFS and VFAT), LVM (both v1 and v2), programming/equipment Assault, and both BIO and UEFI frameworks. Utilizing this free reinforcement programming, you can back up and reestablish your information, or even reestablish to uncovered metal. Mondo Salvage is utilized by big business level associations like Lockheed Martin, Nortel Organizations, Siemens, HP, IBM, NASA's JPL and the U.S. Division of Agribusiness.

5. Paragon Reinforcement and Recuperation Free Paragon Reinforcement and Recuperation Free is for independent Windows machines, and it works really hard of dealing with planned imaging. The People group Release of Paragon is fit for booked reinforcements (of documents, volumes as well as plates), reinforcement technique definition, circle space the board, rendition control, seeing items in reinforcements and even recuperate utilizing WinPE. The free variant depends on the strong expert adaptation, however it's for individual utilize as it were. I strongly prescribe utilizing the free rendition to evaluate the product. Assuming that it possesses all the necessary qualities, make good for the full adaptation (or even the server variant). Paragon will run on any form of Windows, adaptation 7 SP1 and more current.

For good measure You've been searching for a free reinforcement arrangement that will assist with cloning circles. With one of these five, you ought to now have that arrangement close by. Indeed, some of them may be a piece testing to utilize and some probably won't have every one of the highlights you're searching for. Be that as it may, every one of them ought to permit you to clone a source plate to target circle to make your calamity recuperation plan show some major signs of life. With karma, you won't require any of these titles-however there's a little regulation named after a man called Murphy that could have a remark about that.

Respectable notice: Linux dd order As a gift, I thought it beneficial to make reference to the Linux dd order, which works effectively of cloning drives. What's more, the best part is that it's as of now incorporated into the working framework.

Fun Fact:

If you can see everything around you in Visual Static or grainy or see floaters, after images of things that aren't there anymore and more and you can see the air, yeah that's not what everyone sees.

Apparently that thing is called Visual Snow Syndrome when you see stuff 24/7 like this:

Apparently it's happening in people who have neurological disorders as autism, adhd, multiple sclerosis, headache and migraine disorders but it can happen also bcs staring too much at the computer or phone.

Video Surveillance System Is The Best Choice For The Construction Site

Construction is a busy world these days, especially in terms of safety and efficiency. Generally, most projects involve heavy machinery, busy workers, and intricate projects. Managing all these things and running them smoothly is pretty difficult.  In this article, you will learn about how the Video Surveillance System (VSS) can do the trick. For construction sites, having a reliable VSS from viAct can be the difference.

Eyeing Safety

Safety is the basis of every construction project. A VSS ensures that everyone follows safety rules. For instance, it can monitor whether the workers are wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment like helmets and vest safety gear. When someone enters bad premises with inadequate gear, the system sends an instant warning to the supervisors. Such a preventive measure will decrease accidents and make people safe at work.

Real-Time Monitoring Video Surveillance System

A single monitor for the whole construction site. One of the most noteworthy features of a Video Surveillance System is real-time monitoring. Imagine how nice it would be to take a look at everything going on across your whole site from one single dashboard. You can do that with viAct's VSS, and whether you are tracking the smoothness of delivery of the project in great detail or if it's to make sure that some work or any other specific task is on target, having live footage puts decisions ahead of time for managers.

In this way, real-time knowledge also ensures that productivity is enhanced while projects are kept on schedule.

Operation Optimization

Construction sites are usually messy places because several teams will be working simultaneously. A VSS cleans up this mess by identifying clearly the activities carried out within site, from unauthorized access through individual worker behavior to a host of other modules that number over 100. This sets managers on their way to carrying out their operations efficiently and effectively using resources.

For example, the system can detect whether personnel will take too long in one area, and the task assignments can then be done appropriately for examination by managers. This then leads to efficient time management as well as more effective productivity.

Save Time and Money

Time is money in construction. The more time taken to complete a project, the more money spent. Video Surveillance System installation in any construction firm can save time and hours lost. viAct's VSS can track labor working hours as well as detect idle times so that it will be easy for managers to identify what deviation in time was and where it was.

Also, injury prevention means no work stoppages, and companies will thus save much money that would be spent on attorneys and insurance fees. In return on investment, a VSS can be impressive when one calculates the money saved to avoid accidents and improve productivity.

Ease of Implementation

No, you don't have to hassle with a new technology setup. The Video Surveillance System from viAct has been engineered for easy integration with pre-existing CCTV systems. This way, you can begin monitoring your site without having to invest in all-new hardware. It's an easy and quick setup so that you can get back to doing what matters most-getting the job done.

Portable Options for Remote Sites

Not all construction projects happen at very convenient locations. Some are on remote sites where means to source power and internet may be limited. viAct has come up with a solution in this aspect through viMOV, an independent VSS that can easily function anywhere since it runs on its power. Up to 50 hours of battery life ensures that recording would not face a challenge even in the most trying circumstances.

Building Trust with Clients

In construction, trust is the key. Clients want to know that their projects are in good hands. Using a Video Surveillance System can provide the client with transparency. They can view reports on progress and measures taken for safety being considered, giving them confidence about the work. Such openness can make way for much more business opportunities and stronger relationships.

Conclusion

A video surveillance system is not a tool; it's a strategic partner for any construction site. It definitely changes things from safety to productiveness and cost management. From time-wasting inefficiencies to ensuring the accuracy of building construction, viAct's Construction Management Software offers cutting-edge solutions to answer unique challenges in construction. If you want to take your project to a whole new level, consider investing in a Video Surveillance System. To learn more about viAct's offerings, click here.
