The subject of this work is to evaluate the precision of the Kinect controller operation. Research study was performed and a measuring stand have been prepared. Then an application was created that captures the user's throw gesture and simulates the flight of a virtual ball. Based on this, measurements were made to determine the difference between hand movement and it’s detection by the application, and differences among throw made in real life and in VR. The analysis of these results allowed the accuracy of the controller to be assessed.

This research study aims to describe the rules of ellipsis in compound andcomplex sentences. The sources of the data were two newspapers, Kompas andKedaulatan Rakyat, the edition of March 2002. The data were collected by usingobservation and recording techniques. They were then analyzed by the substitutionmethod. On the basis of this method, the omission and substitution techniques wereemployed.Based on the analysis of the findings, the subject, predicate and object ellipsiscan be found in compound sentences and the subject ellipsis in complex sentences.The rules of ellipsis in compound sentences are that (1) the omission can be doneif the omitted element is the same; (2) the omission of the subject and predicate isalways made in the clause after the coordinative conjunction and the omission of theobject is made in the clause before the coordinative conjunction; (3) the referentialcharacteristic of the omitted element is always anaphoric. The rules of ellipsis incomplex sentences are that (1) the omitted element must be the same; (2) the omittedelement is in the clause preceded by a subordinative conjunction or the dependentclause; (3) the referential characteristic of the omitted element is cataphoric oranaphoric.

This research discusses Library Service Innovations during the Covid-19 Pandemic by the Omah Buku Community Reading Park in Blondo Village, Magelang Regency. The purpose of this study was to determine the condition of library services in the Omah Buku Reading Park before and during the Covid-19 pandemic and the innovations made in dealing with it. This research is a research that uses a descriptive qualitative research method, where data collection is carried out by means of observation and interviews. Interviews were conducted with two participants, namely between the researcher and the owner and chairman of the Omah Buku Community Reading Park. The data that has been obtained from observation and interview activities are then processed and analyzed using data analysis techniques by exploring real life, contemporary limited systems or cases or various limited systems or various cases, with detailed and in-depth data collection techniques involving multiple sources of information. as well as reporting case descriptions and research case themes to help facilitate the process of interpretation of how innovative activities during the Covid-19 pandemic at TBM Omah Buku are interpreted and linked to existing theories. Based on the data that has been collected and processed, this study shows that there is a significant difference in service aspects between the time before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The difference in this aspect of service then becomes the cause of the emergence of innovation and actions such as running activities while adhering to health protocols, limiting the number of visitors, delivery of library material collections by volunteers to several points in the surrounding community. This innovation is expected to attract people's attitudes to pay attention to the importance of reading gardens in the community.

The article is devoted to the problem of the city new imagery, the steady convergence of real architecture and virtual architecture. Although the connection between these phenomena has been the subject of reflection by specialists from various science branches for the past decades, it has not been sufficiently manifested. Another attempt at manifestation is made in this article, within the fundamental problems of art theory and history. Its novelty consists in activating the classical category “image of the city” in the virtual space centre of video games as the most active link between artistic and empirical images of the city. On the example of real architectural objects in the cities of the last quarter of the 20th — 21st centuries and architectural objects, existing only in the popular video games locations of the last generation, the interaction mechanisms of artistic images and their transition into the empirical images sphere with a gradual blurring of the transition boundaries are studied. The contemporary architecture trend is seen as the purposeful programming of sophisticated associative games through the production of images of the city that make you doubt the reality of the world, the difference between authenticity and imaginary. In turn, cities in video games simulate the same dubiously humane worlds, only in addition they can be managed, tested for viability online. The exacerbation of gaming in architecture is seen as a postmodern provocation to critically, ironic deconstruct reality in the fullness of its contradictions, and the videogame set of cities as an ideal platform to work on the deconstruction experience and, perhaps, to reset personal relationships with the world. It shows how the artistry of video games turns into the everyday background of life, changing the perception of the urban environment and the world as a whole.

The observations made by Dr. Herschel last year, on the figure of Saturn, having drawn the attention of astronomers to the subject, a further investigation of it appeared to him to be necessary. Those, he says, who compare his former figures of the planet (in which the particular shape of the body was not meant to be represented,) with that annexed to his last paper, and wonder at the difference between them, have not attended to the measures he had given of the equatorial and polar diameters of it; these, as established in 1789, are the same as in his last figure, which differs only in having the flat­tening at the pole a little more extended on both sides; and as his attention, in 1789, was entirely taken up with an examination of the two principal diameters of the planet, it is not, he thinks, extraordi­nary that the singularity of its shape should then have been overlooked by him. After some observations on the magnifying powers necessary to be used in observing the figure of Saturn, Dr. Herschel proceeds to relate the observations made by him, for that purpose, in the months of April, May, and the beginning of June, of the present year. He first, however, gives an observation made in the year 1788, from which it appears, that he had then observed the shape of Saturn not to be spheroidical (like that of Mars or Jupiter), but much flattened at the poles, and a little flattened at the equator.

I have the pleasure to inclose a provisional abstract of the results of Capt. Basevi’s observations with his pendulums during the past field season. Though provisional, it will probably be found to agree very closely with the final results, which will be deduced as soon as the corrections for buoyancy, temperature, &c. are finally known. Already these experiments are beginning to throw light on the subject of Himalayan attraction; for the observations clearly show that the force of gravity is less than it should be theoretically at the stations in the vicinity of the Himalayas, and that the difference between theory and practice diminishes the further the station is removed from the Himalayas.



After describing the imperfections of the instruments in general use for ascertaining the dip of the magnetic needle, and adverting to the consequent inaccuracy and insufficiency of the observations made with them, Captain Sabine gives an account of the form of dipping-needle which he preferred for his experiments, and which was con­structed for him by Mr. Dollond, upon principles laid down by Pro­fessor Meyer, of Gottingen. He then enters into minute details of the mode of pursuing and verifying his observations, the results of which, gained by three different methods, are as follows: viz. by 10 experiments with Meyer’s needle, 70° 2'.9; by the times of oscil­lation in the magnetic meridian, and in the plane perpendicular to it (mean by three needles), 70° 04'; by the times of vertical and hori­zontal oscillation, 7° 02'.6. So that 70° 03' may be considered as the mean dip of the needle towards the north, in August and Sep­tember 1821, within four hours of noon, being the limit within which all the experiments were made. Alluding to former observations for the purpose of determining the dip in London, the author observes that, independent of any im­perfection in the instruments, they were made in houses in close built parts of the metropolis, and, therefore, all subject to the in­fluence of local attraction; and, moreover, that the correction found by observing the difference of the dip on the outside of the house cannot be regarded as an effectual remedy, inasmuch as the needle may still have been attracted by iron in the adjoining houses, or in the neighbourhood. It is, indeed, only requisite to try needles in different situations in a city, to be convinced how little dependence should be placed in the accuracy of such results: the author thinks that it is rather owing to this cause than to instrumental error, that the dip at the Apartments of the Royal Society is stated in the Phi­losophical Transactions for the present year to be 71° 06'. To avoid this source of error, Captain Sabine conducted the observations which form the subject of this lecture in the nursery-ground in the Regent’s Park, a situation which he regards in all respects eligible, and far removed from the influence of iron.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the influence of L.N. Tolstoy and I.I. Sergiev (John of Kronstadt) on the formation of personal worldview in Russian society. The analysis is based on the testimonies of the contemporaries and the previously not reissued publication of “Novy Put” (“New Way”) journal on the subject. In the context of the declared problematics, special attention is paid to the question of transformation of religious consciousness in the course of the personality formation in relation to the period under consideration (the beginning of the 20th century). The author reveals and analyzes the main components of the life stand of Tolstoy and Father John of Kronstadt in the context of their influence on contemporaries. The results of the study allow to reveal the following antitheses that characterize Tolstoy and John of Kronstadt, respectively: doubt - faith, search for oneself – following the once chosen path, preaching of non-resistance as part of the philosophy of not-doing (not doing evil) – preaching of active upholding of faith (doing good), “simple living” – real life with and for common people.

Storytelling consists of an interaction between a narrator and a listener, both of whom assign meaning to the story as a whole and its component parts. The meaning assigned to the narrative changes over time under the influence of the recipient‟s changing precepts and perceptions which seem to be simplistic in infancy and more nuanced with age. It becomes more philosophical in that themes touching on the more profound questions of human existence tend to become more prominently discernible as the subject moves into the more reflective or summative phases of his or her existence. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the metaphorical character of a story, as reflected in changing patterns of meaning assigned to the narrative in the course of the subjective receiver‟s passage through the various stages of life. This was done by analysing meaning, from a particular storytelling session, at different stages of a listener‟s personal development. Meaning starts as literal and evolves through re-interpretation to abstract and deeper levels towards application in real life.

Actually, basic needs postulates securing of the elementary conditions of existence to every human being. Despite of the practical and theoretical importance of the subject the greatest irony is non- availability of any universal preliminary definition of the concept of basic needs. Moreover, this becomes the reason for unpredictability of various political programmes aiming at providing basic needs to the people. The shift is necessary for development of this or any other conception. No labour reforms could be made in history till labours were treated as objects. Its only after they were started being treating as subjects, labour unions were allowed to represent themselves in strategy formulations that labour reforms could become a reality. The present research paper highlights the basic needs of Human Rights in life.
