In March 2012, Oxford University Press hosted over 4000 teachers at seven events held in Milan, Udine, Bologna, Turin, Florence, Palermo and Rome. Keynote speakers included internationally-renowned authors and experts in English Language teaching, Denis Delaney (co-author of High Spirits), Paul Radley (author of Horizons series as well as his latest coursebook, Network), and Jon Hird (author of Complete English Grammar and authority on working with students with dyslexia). This video provides a sense of the "Oxford experience" as articulated in the Oxford National Conference cycle, and also includes several teacher interviews at the end of the clip. Video footage of our other venues can be seen at www.youtube.com In support of those teachers who were unable to attend the conference, OUP has made the keynote presentations available online at www.oup.it Here you will find links to the slide presentations with accompanying audio for the introductory presentation, delivered by James Robinson of Oxford University Press, as well as: Minimise Stress and Maximise Success: How to Deal with the Pressures of Teaching in the Digital Age, Denis Delaney Memory and Language Learning in the Digital Era, Paul Radley Reaching Every Student in the Classroom: Dyslexia and Learning English, Jon Hird Oxford University Press wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to all participating teachers, speakers, and sponsors, as well as Jason Barron and Lisa Ricciuto of Rialto Infinity Photography for the ...

Demo of National HRO-50-1 receiver
Demo of National HRO-50-1 receiver Tube. Duration : 2.77 Mins.
This is a demonstration of a National HRO-50T1 receiver. This particular vacuum tube radio with plug-in coils dates from late 1951 or early 1952. It is an improved and updated version of the famous HRO receiver used by US and Allied forces during WW II. The HRO-50 and 60 have exceptionally good audio quality for AM reception. This clip begins with a sample of AM broadcast reception on the 49m band, but the audio here just uses a cheap computer mic in front of the radio's speaker, and it cannot do justice to the AM audio quality. Using a very primitive antenna, it is shown that this receiver can still pull in distant amateur stations (Croatia and New Zealand) even though they are transmitting only a few hundred watts. This receiver has the optional crystal calibrator, which allows the tuning dial to show the tuned frequency pretty accurately by the standards of 60 years ago. It is normal to calibrate in CW mode, but in this video, the receiver is in AM mode in order to also show the operation of the S-meter (signal strength meter). The S-meter on all HRO models with vacuum tubes works only when in AM mode. When receiving CW (Morse Code), the bandwidth can be as narrow as 100 Hz, and this is demonstrated at the end of the video. This selectivity represents one part in 300000 at the upper end of the frequency coverage. This radio weighs almost 90 lbs if you include the extra plug-in coils, the wooden storage box for the coils, and the speaker. It is a true "boat anchor ...
