  History and Understanding O scale with respect to the diecast model car industry
O scale (or 0 scale, O gauge or 0 gauge) is a scale commonly used for toy trains and model railroading.
O gauge had its heyday when model railroads were considered toys, with more emphasis placed on cost, durability, and the ability to be easily handled and operated by pre-adult hands.
O gauge is considered an expensive scale to model in, although the necessarily smaller scope of a larger-scaled layout mitigates this to some extent.

 Map Scales, Fact Sheet FS105-02, (February 2002)
These "representative fraction" scales mean that 1 unit of measurement on the map—1 inch or 1 centimeter—represents 10,000 of the same units on the ground.
If the scale is reduced to 1:316,800, then 1 inch on the map represents 5 miles on the ground, and an area 100 miles square can be mapped on a sheet less than 2 feet square (100 miles at 5 miles to the inch equals 20 inches, or 1.66 feet).
A commonly used scale for this purpose is 1:600 (1 inch on the map represents 50 feet on the ground).

Therefore, it is likely that O stars, WN stars, LBVs, and possibly also blue and red supergiants, represent different evolutionary phases of a star with a certain ZAMS mass.
In the large scale structure, the circumstellar shell is being swept up by a slow wind being followed by a fast wind, e.g., during and after the LBV phase (García-Segura et al.
The large scale nebular structure provides information on the LBV outburst mechanism and related intervening factors (rotation, binarity), while the small scale features provide information on the local instabilities, such as anisotropies of the wind.

 How to Comply With
This means an operator must make reasonable efforts (taking into consideration available technology) to ensure that before personal information is collected from a child, a parent of the child receives notice of the operator's information practices and consents to those practices.
Until April 2002, the FTC will use a sliding scale approach to parental consent in which the required method of consent will vary based on how the operator uses the child's personal information.
Operators may use email to get parental consent for all internal uses of personal information, such as marketing back to a child based on his or her preferences or communicating promotional updates about site content, as long as they take additional steps to increase the likelihood that the parent has, in fact, provided the consent.
