Resorts World Manila believes its first sponsorship foray on the Asian Tour will also showcase the Philippines to the eyes of the golfing world and boost the tourism sector. Asia’s newest tournament is primed to attract the top stars from the Asian Tour along the likes of home heroes Angelo Que, Juvic Pagunsan and Frankie Minoza, all winners on the region’s premier Tour. Resorts World Manila is also supporting the development of junior golf and sports in the Philippines. “On behalf of Resorts World Manila, we are truly privileged to announce a momentous five-year agreement with the Asian Tour to host the Resorts World Manila Masters at Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club in November,” said Resorts World Manila COO Steve Reilly. “It is our privilege to host a truly world-class golf championship in the Philippines that will showcase the professional game at the highest level in the country,” Reilly added.

The team, led by head coach and former Asian Tour member Carito Villaroman, won five gold medals in the recent True Vision International Golf Championship. “We recognise the need for Resorts World Manila to fully support junior golf programmes in our country. With golf returning to the Olympics in three years’ time, we hope to play a role in ensuring that the Philippines will be represented in golf,” Reilly further added.

    Measurement of Time M.Y. ANAND, B.A. KAGALI* Department of Physics, Bangalore University, Bangalore 560056 *email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Time was historically measured using the periodic motions of the sun and stars. Various types of sun clocks were devised in Egypt, Greece and Europe. Different types of water clocks were assembled with ever greater accuracy. Only in the seventeenth century did the mechanical clock with pendulums and springs appeared. Accurate quartz clocks and atomic clocks were developed in the first half of the twentieth century. Now we have clocks that have better than microsecond accuracy. This article gives a brief account of all these topics.

    SECURE ENTERPRISE TIME SYNC WHITEPAPER SERIES TimeKeeper’s Competitive Survey Introduction The TimeKeeper® suite of products are more accurate, more reliable and far more capable than CAPEX-free open source alternatives. TimeKeeper has a lower OPEX than alternatives, but more importantly, TimeKeeper has features found nowhere else. These features include the ability to verify time is correct, compare against many time sources, report when time is incorrect or when time sources fail, and much more. Standard logging and integration provide guarantees of accuracy whenever proof is needed in the future. Some TimeKeeper customers previously built large in-house projects to try to make alternative solutions fit their needs. These expensive and very limited solutions were abandoned once they saw TimeKeeper gave them all they needed and more out of the box, saving valuable time and resources. TimeKeeper in use TimeKeeper hardware and software is in use by financial institutions of all sizes, from exchanges and very throughout Wall Street & large investment banks to small “prop shops”. TimeKeeper is there because after rigorously evaluating the globally product, customers found it gave them capabilities they simply could not get anywhere else. In addition, TimeKeeper support is far better than any of the competition. A few comments from our customers: “KCG has been using TimeKeeper Client and Server Software for two years in our trading environment with great success. TimeKeeper delivers accurate time, and has helped us to reduce operational risk with its built-in failover and event notification. We use TimeKeeper Client Software on our servers, using NTP or PTP to sync them to our GPS Based TimeKeeper Servers.” – Steve Newman, Managing Director, Corporate IT and Infrastructure, KCG “Technology is readily accessible for synchronizing to the microsecond, and there is no excuse for not having this in place today.

  • Rhythmic Auditory-Motor Entrainment of Gait Patterns in Adults
    RHYTHMIC AUDITORY-MOTOR ENTRAINMENT OF GAIT PATTERNS IN ADULTS WITH BLINDNESS OR SEVERE VISUAL IMPAIRMENT A DISSERTATION IN Music Education and Psychology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by DELLA MOLLOY-DAUGHERTY B.M.E., University of Kansas, 1992 M.M.E., University of Kansas, 1997 Kansas City, Missouri 2013 © 2013 DELLA MOLLOY-DAUGHERTY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED RHYTHMIC AUDITORY-MOTOR ENTRAINMENT OF GAIT PATTERNS IN ADULTS WITH BLINDNESS OR SEVERE VISUAL IMPAIRMENT Della Molloy-Daugherty, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2013 ABSTRACT The following study investigates the impact of a rhythmic cue on the observational gait parameters of a population of adults with blindness or severe visual impairment. Forty- six adults who had sight loss significant enough to require the use of a long cane for mobility purposes participated in the study. Participants were between the ages of 18 – 70 years. The study design was a within-subjects, repeated measures design with two levels for the independent variable of the metronome (uncued versus cued) and two levels for the independent variable of tempo (normal walk versus fast walk). Dependent variables of cadence (steps per minute), velocity (meters per minute), and stride length (cadence ÷ (velocity ⁄ 2)) were recorded. Within-subjects repeated measures statistical analyses identified a main effect for the independent variable of the metronome; subsequent analysis revealed that the metronome had a significant effect on the dependent variable of cadence. iii The presence of a rhythmic cue seemed to improve observational gait parameters for many of the study participants.

  • Computer Time Synchronization Computer Time Synchronization
    Computer Time Synchronization Computer Time Synchronization Michael Lombardi Time and Frequency Division National Institute of Standards and Technology The personal computer revolution that began in the 1970's created a huge new group of time and frequency users, those people who need to keep computer clocks on time. As you probably know, computer clocks aren't particularly good at keeping time. Simple clocks like your wristwatch and most of the clocks in your home usually keep better time than a computer clock. The poor performance of a computer clock can cause problems, since many computer applications require time kept to the nearest second or better. For example, the computers in a financial institution must keep very accurate records of when transactions were completed, for legal or other reasons. Computer systems that make physical measurements and acquire scientific data need to know precisely when the measurements were made. Software used on a manufacturing floor may need to turn a piece of equipment on or off at a specified time. Also, any system involved with synchronous communications must keep accurate time. For example, radio and TV stations may need computers that can switch feeds or link up with remotes at the right time. This paper describes several methods to keep accurate time by computer. Before looking at these methods, let's look at how a PC-compatible computer keeps time. Section 1.1 - How a Personal Computer keeps time Since the introduction of the IBM-AT personal computer in 1984, all PC-compatible computers have kept time the same way. Each PC contains two clocks, regardless of whether it uses the 286, 386, 486, or Pentium microprocessor (or a derivative).
