First Krok, Shag, Step

My health hasn't fully returned and still a long way to recover mind and body, but every milestone should be remembered. Medical Spcial Expert Committe declared 2nd group of disability. Rehab of 20 months behind and more for the rest life. The reading ability brought back the concumption of entartaining books. My recent wonderful dive of possible future. The glimpse of vast worlds started in pre-stroke time in Liu Cixin's Dark Forest. I picked few times, but couldn't consume such rich and ecxiting rich. Death's End is next. The future promises to be full of Life's Beginning. My new education starts on Monday 22nd of November. IT is virtual technicallity for 39 year old me. Lots of learning.

1. Солнце и волны

Середина лета в Одессе всегда солнечная, хоть и ветреная, порой штормовая.   Утром играть на грунте уже не заставишь современную молодежь. Мы на поляну, нынче заросшую метровой травой, ходили расстояние — километровую разминку.   До обеда покрылись пылью, снаружи и изнутри, как шахтёры. Лето проходит быстро, поэтому программа насыщенна. Следующий аттракцион — пляж, тоже пешком. Но свидание с девушкой обязывает дополнительные приготовления — душ.   Прогулка до моря занимает хороший час. Многие герои этого повествования проживали в двух кварталах от центральной улицы, но бывало, не пересекались. Общих тем была уйма, но обсуждали их с разных углов — и они звучали ново.   Выход к побережью совпал с объявлением трёхчасовой песни по радиомагнитофону с лотка с мороженым.   Одесситы проходят первый пляж — «Ланжерон у двух шаров». Остановились в начале «Отрады». Много детских и юношеских воспоминаний связано с этим местом, где часто брали напрока...

Gran Turismo movie review

-
Based on true events and brought to life by Columbia Pictures and PlayStation Productions, "Gran Turismo" took me on an exhilarating ride that left a lasting impression. From the thunderous roar of engines to the cutting-edge camera effects, the movie delivered a sensory experience like no other. The blend of dramatic moments with the authenticity of real car sounds had me completely engrossed. An unforgettable sight greeted me as the audience erupted into applause at the end of the movie, a testament to the impact it had on everyone present. While I was disheartened by the fact that the premiere's turnout was below 50%, it's worth noting that my personal connection with the Gran Turismo franchise goes back to its inception, even though I wouldn't classify myself as a hardcore fan. What truly warmed my heart, however, was the engagement of my children throughout the screening. Despite their usual impatience at the cinema, this time they were fully immersed, th...

STW or SOG?

-
I've never paid attention to the source chosen on the radar to show the true vectors. Two basic settings are commonly in use. Speed Through Water(STW) and Speed Over Ground(SOG). SOLAS requires Radars to have STW feed. But because I worked on the ship where water Log was not accurate, GPS speed was used. So I've got used to that preset. But I had several debates on what exactly should be used for collision avoidance. So. I went down to the root. What Exactly do we need to calculate Closest Point of Approach(CPA), Bow Crossing Range(BCR) and Time of (CPA)? Risk of collision exists if distance is decreasing and bearing to the target stays the same. It means that to determine all the data Radar should get feed from Compass(in that case compass should not be precise, but must be fixed to a certain direction. It original North can be at True 146 degree for example, but it should know that for entire observation). Thnking more and deeper I realize that it shouldn't. Then Radar c...
