How to start YouTube videos from the middle
- To avoid having to manually find a segment of a YouTube video clip during presentations, or worse, downloading the video clips from YouTube before the presentation, to edit them into shape,
- try using the “&t=”(for “time(line)”, I presume) query parameter, followed by “#m” (for minutes) and "##s” (for seconds) where the segment you want to show starts.
- Example links that you can try inserting into your PowerPoint Slide deck:
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDngRk5vImU starts the movie clip Aicha part 1/10 from the beginning;
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDngRk5vImU&t=1m10s starts Aicha at 1 minute and 10 seconds;
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDngRk5vImU&t=5m10s starts Aicha at 5 minutes and 10 seconds.

Sanako licensing error in the middle of an exam?
What NOW? I decided to not update from 22 to 24 licenses last night to avoid running into issues like that with pending exams. Can this be a mere temporary network error? How can I assure students can submit their Sanako homework activity?UPDATE: The problem went away as mysteriously as it had cropped up, even before a restart of the teacher computer or Sanako services running on that computer (I did restart Sanako Teacher, though). However, during the outage, other network sites could be pinged from the teacher computer. Licensing server issue then?
