This is the test. It takes about one second. I suppose it could point to or eliminate connection speed as an issue when a user is having trouble with one of our videos.

he "largest and oldest" collection of natural sounds in the world is now digital and available online, Cornell University announced. The Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology houses a scientific archive of biodiversity audio and video recordings. Previously in analog format, the recordings - which go back to 1929 - are now completely digitized, and can be heard at MacaulayLibrary.org. "In terms of speed and the breadth of material now accessible to anyone in the world, this is really revolutionary," Greg Budney, Macaulay's audio curator, said in a statement. It took archivists 12 years to finish digitizing the collection, which has nearly 150,000 audio recordings that run a total of 7,513 hours, according to Cornell. The library features 9,000 species, including mostly birds, as well as whales, elephants, frogs and primates.

A cool, real-time, graphic illustrating wind direction and speeds across the US.

A video showing some people creating a scale model of the solar system on a lakebed in Nevada. Helps to illustrate the relative sizes of the planets, their distance from the sun and differences in speed to orbit the sun.

I never saw this tool before. I wonder if it can help us figure out what's going on when UA-hosted videos aren't playing nicely with others.

Whether you work in an office building or from a home office, the design of your workplace definitely influences the quality and speed of your work. This especially true when it comes to tasks which require focus. Studies examining productivity at work have shown that the physical space in which people work has the most impact on their ability to focus.
