There are two reasons for this change:
1. If it is a Dell desktop machine with the realtek codec, and there is no internal microphone on it, there is one physical audio jack which can support headphone, headset and microphone, but this audio jack does not have hardware capability to distinguish what is plugged in, after users plug in a headphone and select headphone from UI program, the headphone can't output any sound. There are many reasons for this issue, one of them is the active_port of pa_source is set to headphone-mic, that means the kernel audio driver will configure this audio jack to be a microphone jack instead of headphone jack. If we make the priority of headset-mic a bit higher than headphone-mic, the headset-mic will be the active_port of pa_source unless users select the headphone-mic on purpose, then this issue will be fixed.
2. Nowadays, the headset is more popular than traditional microphone, It is highly possible that users plug in a headset instead of microphone, it makes sense to make the headset-mic's priority higher than headphone-mic's.

Jenny Jones
Japan Workshop
We're going to JAPOW!! It's one of Jenny's favourite places to go snowboarding – when the snow falls (which it does a lot!) the powder is incredible and there is so much playful terrain to ride.
We will be based in Niseko staying at the awesome Skye Niseko Hotel which is right in the centre of the resort and has its own spa and Onsen (Japanese hot pool) We will ride all the local resorts, Hanazono Grand Hirafu, Annapuri and Niseko, choosing the best options depending on conditions each day. There will be guiding and coaching through the week from expert Neil McNair and we will be joined on two days by local Niseko guide and friend Owaine Bassett who has an extensive knowledge of the mountains and snowboarding in this area.
During the week we will also venture further afield hiking or snowshoeing into the backcountry for some fresh lines and adventure 🙂 Jenny will ride with the group throughout the week assisting with coaching tips and powder face shots 😉 Off snow we have the wonderful yoga coach Sian Leigh who will focus on challenging your ability by practicing yoga which is specific to snowboarding and addressing the need for balance and recovery after a hard day on the hill. Along with the riding and yoga we will be able to experience the unique Japanese culture – visiting natural hot springs – onsens, discover local customs, experience night riding, music, sake and more all of which will make this snowboarding workshop so special and full of epic memories.

Yuriy Lutsenko has held the position of Prosecutor General of Ukraine for almost two and a half years. In this time, the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) have initiated a number of high-profile cases, including state treason cases against both the fugitive ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and MP Nadia Savchenko, who, according to the PGO, supposedly attempted to overthrow the Ukrainian parliament.
On November 6, Lutsenko announced that he will offer resignation. Hromadske has gathered five of the cases the Prosecutor General is likely to remembered for, if he actually does resign.
1. The "Main One": Against Yanukovych
Before Lutsenko was appointed as Prosecutor General, he promised that he would kick start legal proceedings against former president Yanukovych. Three of his predecessors – Viktor Shokin, Vitaliy Yarema and Oleh Makhnitsky – had all tried to do this, but were unable to the bring the case against Yanukovych to court.
Photo credit: Oleksandr Kosarev/UNIAN
Even before he began in the role, Lutsenko had a plan to do this by trying the ex-president in absentia. Yanukovych stands accused of state treason, aiding the Russian authorities, deliberate acts aimed at altering the state borders of Ukraine established within the Constitution and carrying out an aggressive war.
Under these charges, Yanukovych faces up to 15 years imprisonment.

At the current stage in the case, Yanukovych's lawyers are trying to persuade the court that Yanukovych fled the country due to a coup d'etat. On November 19, the former head of state will have the chance to present his closing statement in court.
2. The Nadiya Savchenko Case
On March 22, 2018, Lutsenko personally came to the Ukrainian parliament to present MPs with a 20-minute video. The videos shows eight special forces officers communicating with Savchenko and Head of Ukraine's Officer Corps Prisoner of War Exchange Center Volodymyr Ruban, in which they discuss a plan to overthrow the parliament. According to the publicly-released recording, in November 2017, Ruban himself suggested to the special forces officers carry out a terrorist attack.

An arsenal of weapons was then brought to the military unit from the occupied territories. In the video, the soldiers explain how to use the weapons. Ruban devised a three-stage plan for a future terrorist attack.

According to Lutsenko, the soldiers, having understood Ruban and Savchenko's intentions, went to the Ukrainian Security Service. They had already caught those involved on camera.
"The investigation has irrefutable evidence that Nadia Savchenko personally planned, personally recruited [people] and gave instructions on how to carry out a terrorist attack in [the parliament] hall. [She planned] to destroy two seat boxes in parliament with two grenades, shell the dome of the parliament from mortars, and finish those who would survive from automatic weapons," Lutsenko announced in parliament.
READ MORE: Ukraine Arrests MP Nadiya Savchenko On Terror Charges
On August 1, 2018, law enforcement completed the pre-trial investigation into Savchenko and the former negotiator Ruban. Savchenko is accused of attempting to overthrow the constitutional system, an attempt on the life of the President of Ukraine, preparing a terrorist attack, promoting the activities of a terrorist organization and illegal arms possession. These charges could amount to life imprisonment for Savchenko.
On March 23, Savchenko was detained for two months without the possibility of bail.
At the end of October, her arrest was extended to January 23.
3. Amber Lawmakers
One Monday evening in a restaurant in the Ukrainian capital, a man hands over $200,000 to another man. This is when employees of the National Anti-corruption Bureau turn up. The recipient of the money was the bodyguard of Ukrainian MP Boryslav Rozenblat. And the money – his boss' bribe.
Detectives then arrested six more people: two bodyguards, an aide to an MP and even "anti-corruption figures" from the Deputy Control group. They are all suspected of criminal schemes connected to illegal amber mining.
Photo credit: UNIAN
The key figures in this case are two MPs from the governing coalition.
The first one is Borys Rozenblat from Petro Poroshenko Bloc. According to the investigation, he received a $200,000 bribe through an intermediary on the promise the he would influence certain officials, who would then issue special permission to mine amber.
The second figure is Maksym Poliakov from the People's Front party. The investigators state that he was an accomplice in the amber scheme. According to Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), Polyakov received $7,500 via his assistant to introduce a draft bill, which would ensure changes to the Tax and Customs codes.
The Prosecutor's Office suspect MPs Polyakov and Rozenblat of receiving funds and lobbying the interest of a foreign company named Fujairah, which mines amber. The two parliamentarians face up to 12 years behind bars.
On July 18, 2017, a district judge in Kyiv set bail for Rozenblat at seven million hryvnias (around $250,500).
On October 20, 2017, the court re-ordered Rozenblat to wear an ankle bracelet. The day before he had been caught allegedly attempting to board a flight to Cologne.
4. Access to Journalists' Phones
On September 4, 2018, the news broke that the Pechersk district court in Kyiv had given the Prosecutor General access to information from journalist and and editor-in-chief of the Schemes program Natalie Sedletska's phone. At the request of the GPO, the court gave permission to access information about calls and text messages from Sedletska's phone provider for a period of 17 months – from July 2016 to November 2017 – as well as location information from the phone.
Photo credit: Yalta European Strategy forum
The PGO made this request as part of a case involving NABU director Artem Sytnyk, who is suspected of disclosing state secrets, and in which Sedletska is a witness. The case was submitted on November 16, 2017, after a audio recording appeared on the Obozrevatel website, in which a person with a voice similar to Sytnyk's tells journalists "details of several resonant cases." In particular, information on wiretapping in the case of former prosecutor Konstiantyn Kulyk, Yanukovych's stolen money, and the case regarding former MP Mykola Martynenko.
According to the investigation, Sytnyk could have disclosed information, which led to violations of personal privacy, secret correspondences and so on.
However, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) stated that, at the time, the Schemes program was conducting a number of investigation into high-profile Ukrainian officials, including Prosecutor General Lutsenko himself. RFE/RL were outraged by the court decision, and so were a whole host of journalists and civic organizations. They stated that this decision "creates a dangerous precedent media, as well as violating Ukraine's international obligations."
On September 5, Sedletska wrote on Facebook that Lutsenko had invited her to a closed meeting. However, she refused to attend explaining she is against private meetings like that. Instead, RFE/RL invited Lutsenko to appear live on air to discuss the issue. He refused.
Sedletska was not the only person whose information the GPO had access to, spokesperson to the PGO Andriy Lysenko told Hromadske this during a live show. Another court decision was later taken regarding Novoye Vremya journalist Kristina Berdynskykh.
READ MORE: Journalists Outraged by Ukrainian Court's Decision to Allow Access to Muckraker's Phone
Lutsenko was forced to explain why the PGO had access to journalists' phones during the Yalta European Strategy forum, which took place mid-September in Kyiv. BBC journalist Stephen Sackur commented on the court decision, stating that it was a "signal to all journalists and all citizens in Ukraine that journalists are not protected from the 'system.'" The Prosecutor General responded that, after the off-record meeting with journalists
"If I had any other option to establish the date of the event, I would have never even resorted to this minimal intrusion into the confidentiality of journalists. But I am the Prosecutor General, who has to carry out an investigation and establish the date of the event," he said.
5. The Last One? Kateryna Handziuk's Murder
On July 31, 2018, activist and city council advisor Kateryna Handziuk was attacked with acid near the entrance to her apartment block in Kherson, southern Ukraine. She received 30% burns to her body. She died on November 4.
On August 3, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov announced that a suspect in the case had been detained. However, he had an alibi, so was therefore released after spending 19 days in pre-trial detention.
READ MORE: Ukrainian Activist and Whistleblower Official Dies After Acid Attack
Lutsenko went to visit Handziuk in hospital, where he stated that the main reason she was attacked was her active civic stance, which "prevented various officials, businessmen, bandits from engaging in illegal activities."
However, at the end of September, while commenting on the slow progress of investigations into attacks on activists, Lutsenko said that exposing these attacks is further hindered by the "total hatred towards the government" that these activists have.
READ MORE: Acid Attack in Southern Ukraine: What Happened?
"Uncovering crimes is not a factory conveyor belt, where we have to find both the perpetrator and the person who ordered the crime. Unfortunately, fault not only lies with the poor quality work of law enforcement, but also on the atmosphere of total hatred towards the government, which some civic activists create."
After Kateryna Handziuk's death, representatives from the Coalition for the Protection of Civil Society and number of other civic and human rights organization demanded the resignation of both Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko and Interior Minister Arsen Avakov.

This 'Black Panther' proposal was perfect, except for one tiny detail
The Black Panther hype is real, and now that the film's finally hit theaters people can barely contain their excitement.
Many are dressing up to honor Wakanda, but one man took things a step further, donning a Black Panther outfit and proposing to his girlfriend at a screening in Brooklyn.
The heartfelt moment went down on Thursday night at Brooklyn's Alamo Drafthouse and was documented on Twitter by lucky movie-goers who happened to be in the same theater.
Just watched a proposal at the theatre. #BlackPanther
— Junebug (@thejunipergoat) February 16, 2018
Wow I'm at @alamodrafthouse in #Brooklyn and dude just proposed to his girl, just wow only #InWakanda #WakandaForever
— Seven, the Tenth Man (@7Akil) February 16, 2018
Someone just proposed in my #BlackPanther screening wearing a black panther suit. She said yes. Y'all it's live out here.
— Trey Williams (@Trey3Williams) February 16, 2018
So many crazy outfits on display at Alamo Drafthouse for #blackpanther last night. Someone even proposed before the movie whilst dressed in the costume. Black people showed out for this movie and I'm enjoying the enthusiasm.
— Claude T. Hector (@TlntdMrHector) February 16, 2018
According to Twitter user @Rob_Pratt the man surprised his girlfriend at the 10:15 p.m. showing, knowing she would be there with her friends.
Proposal at 10:15 Black Panther showing at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn, man dressed up as Black Panther proposed to his fiancé (she said yes) who he knew would be here with her girlfriends. He didn't have tickets so left shortly after. #BlackPantherSoLit
— Rob Pratt (@Rob_Pratt) February 16, 2018
The moment looked picture-perfect, except for one tiny thing. The grand gesture didn't last too long because the man reportedly didn't have a ticket and had to leave after popping the question. Hmm...
Omg a guy next to us in a Black Panther outfit just proposed & she said yes & the theatre exploded in applause pic.twitter.com/fYHZekxtGM
— Cory Schmitz (@CorySchmitz) February 16, 2018
While we'd all love to get engaged before watching one of most anticipated movies of all time, it might be nice to not have to say goodbye to your brand new fiancé immediately after accepting and then sit in a dark theater unable to tell your family and friends for two hours and fifteen minutes.
Still, the proposal got the Alamo Drafthouse seal of approval and the theater tweeted to remind all the guys out there they need to step up their games.
Step your game up, gentlemen. https://t.co/WIxa4OGOxe
— Alamo Drafthouse (@alamodrafthouse) February 16, 2018
The theater really set the mood with a special musical performance before Thursday's pre-screening, and an Ethiopian-inspired menu for customers.
Oh man, the @drafthouse #BlackPanther menu looks way too tempting. pic.twitter.com/QyBLbiaCXB
— Thomas 🚀 SFF180 (@SFF180) February 14, 2018
Wakanda would be proud.

Canadian commercial real estate has been a great investment over the last decade. Although the sector is changing due to technology and demographics, industrial and office space are set to continue to do well. Retail, on the other hand, will be under more pressure to re-invent spaces to maximize value.
A relatively low Canadian dollar, a stable financial system and a growing economy have made Canadian real estate an attractive investment for foreigners who have helped to drive up property values in recent years.
Today's low vacancy rates for office and industrial buildings in most of Canada's major cities are allowing landlords to raise rents and obtain longer leases from commercial clients.
This means that capitalization rates (cap rates)—the ratio of a property's annual net operating income over its market value—have trended lower over the last decade, creating more value for owners.
Cap rates currently range between 4% and 10% depending on the type of asset (office, industrial, retail, or hotel) and the city in which the property is located.
At the high-value end of the range are sought after offices in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto, while shopping malls in Edmonton and Calgary, where the economy has not been doing as well, are at the lower-value end.
Tech companies re-inventing demand for office space
Despite an increase in commercial construction—up 11% on an annualized basis in real terms in the first quarter—a lack of office space remains a problem in some of Canada's biggest cities. The lack of supply keeps property values high and has pushed up rental rates—great for property owners. Tenants, however, are faced with renewing their lease often on longer terms or paying considerably more at a new location.
In response to these market dynamics, shared workspaces are becoming more popular to maximize a space's use. Many companies are encouraging more remote work, or implementing seat-sharing—where employees no longer have a permanent desk.
Elsewhere, the rising trend in shared workspace, promoted by companies, like WeWork and ShareDesk, is driven by the growth of the gig economy—freelancers, consultants, part-time and contract workers who do not require a fixed place of work.
Given low vacancy rates, the supply of office space should pick up. However, according to CBRE, part of the reason it's unlikely to grow significantly is due to rising development costs. Land, materials and labour have all become more expensive. As well, municipalities have added more development charges and created long planning and approval processes.
Overall, continued low cap rates for office space are likely to prevail, especially as hiring increases in sectors such as technology, professional services and education.
Retail hit by technology and slower consumer spending
Consumer spending slowed from a pace of 3.6% in 2017 to 2.1% in 2018, as higher interest rates forced up debt-servicing costs, resulting in less household disposable income. This is bad news for owners of retail properties. Retail vacancy rates have risen, according to Morgard, as companies such as Sears, Gap, HBC's Home Outfitters and Payless Shoes have closed up shop.
Another factor affecting retailers is e-commerce, which represented 3% of Canadian retailers' sales last year. As more people purchase items from the comfort of their home, shops are becoming showrooms, and malls are transforming themselves into experiential places for food and entertainment. Retail properties that can be transformed to maximize the space's value in these ways will benefit in this changing marketplace.
e-commerce supporting industrial property values
While still a small share of total sales, e-commerce is having a significant impact on industrial real estate. The logistics industry is growing as companies focus on moving inventory quickly from manufacturing plants, to warehouses and distribution centres, and ultimately to the customer.
Indeed, the value that warehousing added to the Canadian economy more than doubled over the last 20 years.
While 1.7 million square metres (18.5 million square feet) of industrial space will be constructed this year, this represents only 1% of existing inventory, according to CBRE. Hence, new construction is unlikely to be sufficient to satisfy growing demand, especially in cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax.
Bottom line
A low Canadian dollar will continue to make commercial real estate attractive to foreign investors, underpinning prices in major markets. As with many areas of our economy, technology and demographics are having a profound impact on this sector. Property owners will have to harness these trends to their advantage to create value in the coming years.
What does it mean for entrepreneurs?
- With interest rates expected to stay relatively low, it can be a good time to invest in a property provided it fits your business's needs.
- Retail properties will be under pressure as consumer spending slows. Entrepreneurs will need to assess how to maximize value from their space, which may include re-inventing it.
- Think about how technology can help you make better use of your existing space.

Network virtualization is a truly evolutionary step in the delivery of services, empowering departments in a new way to think about security, networks, and access to services. The key highlights of Virtual Networks are as follows.
- Security is integral to provisioning networks.
- A single high performance virtual firewall can control campus-wide access for a department or faculty.
- Departments can centralize security policies.
- Virtual Networks are visible and managed in the Transmogrifier.
- A completely optional service.
The following new functionalities are available, or soon to be available:
Campus-Wide Multicast
Campus-wide multicast is available in the context of Virtual Networks. Multicast can be enabled within all subnets of a Virtual Network and between Virtual Networks. UBC campus-wide multicast channels will be available for subscriptions. External multicast broadcasts can be received from external research network sites.
Identity-Based Wireless
Connect to the UBC wireless network and be placed on a subnet in a Virtual Network behind your department's firewall. This then appears as your own departmental wireless network. This functionality is based on CWL roles. For example, enter credentials anne.math to be connected to a subnet in a Virtual Network in the Math department. Departments are in control of the delegation of CWL roles to their faculty, staff, and students.
Identity-Based VPN
Connect to the new (soon to be released) UBC SSL VPN service and be placed on a subnet in a Virtual Network behind your department's firewall. This appears as if you had your own departmental SSL VPN Server. Access is based on CWL roles and departments are in control of delegation of CWL roles to their faculty, staff, and students.
Virtual Devices
Subscribe to UBC IT's new VMware-based Virtual Devices service. A Virtual Device can be on your department's network, behind your departmental firewall, on the Virtual Network of your choice. UBC IT's new VMware-based Virtual Server Service can provision a virtual server for your department - Red Hat Linux, Windows Server, or Solaris. The virtual server appears in the Transmogrifier in your department's Virtual Network. The underlying SAN data storage of the Virtual Server Service is automatically replicated to multiple sites (for disaster recovery (DR)). Provisioning of a server will be very fast, within minutes, and easy to request through web-page.
Empowers Departments and Faculties
Just as the Transmogrifier empowered departments, so Virtual Networks empowers departments. Departments have full configuration authority over virtual firewall configuration. Departments have their own virtual wireless network and virtual SSL VPN server. Departments control which individuals have which identity-based networking roles. Linux, Windows, Solaris virtual devices can be provisioned on the department's Virtual Network behind the department's virtual firewall.
UBC IT is in the background providing expert assistance if and when you need it. Virtual networks, virtual firewalls, virtual devices are all visible in the Transmogrifier. A companion project during this time has been to upgrade the core of the UBC data networks. A description of the new UBC data network architecture and explanation of Virtual Networks is contained in this attached set of slides.
Concept and Functionality Presentation PDF 1.02 MB
This was presented by Dennis O'Reilly, Senior Network Architect in UBC IT, on February 5th, 2009, to the UBC Systems and Network Administrators Group. Also here is a video recording of the presentation. There were about 110 people at the presentation. Unfortunately, the Q&A period was not recorded. The recording is in two sections, each about 27 minutes long.

The Advisory Council of the Arkansas Arts Council is a vital component of helping us keep the arts healthy and alive statewide. Seventeen members are chosen to represent eight Arkansas districts.
Council member Sue Coon, a longtime painter and teacher, recently took time to answer a few questions about herself and her role on the Advisory Council. Sue is among 16 active Advisory Council members who help the Arts Council. She lives in Melbourne and represents arts, arts supporters and artists in Northeast Arkansas, from Lawrence County to the Mississippi River.
Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I would describe myself as a retired art teacher who is still painting at the age of 81.
I have always been an artist. My mother said I had a paintbrush in my hand when I was 3 years old. As a teenager, I would stand in front of my mirror and draw myself and ponytail. My school had no art classes, but I wrote my senior paper on "my future career" on Commercial Art. I hold a master's degree in Art Education with an emphasis on Gifted & Talented Studies. I taught art in the Little Rock School System for 22 years. Now, I teach friends and conduct a few art workshops for the Art Guild here in Mountain View. Recently, one of my student-friends and I sat and drew a scene in my front yard. Then, we went to my studio and painted it. We stopped and ate lunch and painted some more. She left, and I called her later in the day to come back. We cropped our watercolor paintings to our satisfaction. She left happy and so was I. It was a good day for painters.
Q. What is your connection with the arts in Arkansas?
A. Besides teaching and painting in my community, my connection to the arts is through my appointment to help make decisions and become more abreast of what is going on with the acquisition and disbursement of funds via the Arkansas Arts Council.
Q. Why is it important to be on the Advisory Council of the Arkansas Arts Council?
A. It is important to me to be on the Arkansas Advisory Council to learn what is happening in our state as far as how the Arkansas Arts Council functions. I had no idea before how it worked, I can take a broader perspective and help locally through my new knowledge.
Q. When were you appointed or how long have you been on the advisory board?
A. I was appointed by Gov. Asa Hutchinson on May 2, 2018, and will serve until June 30, 2020.
Q. What are your biggest accomplishments as an artist or arts supporter?
A. My biggest accomplishments to me are the many people I have influenced and helped through the years. I have won some local awards. I have driven the miles and placed my art work in some big cities but that wore out quickly. I have served as judge for several art shows. I have taught art workshops all over the state through this organization and understand how it works. I have donated several large paintings to my local hospital, local college and other places in town. I taught art workshops for the local art guild for seven years. I am recognized as a good painter and artist and that pleases me.
Q. What would you like to see the advisory board or the Arts Council accomplish this year?
A. Accomplishments for the year could include a broader perspective of the arts in general. We still have schools who cut out arts programs on a regular basis. Art still has a low image on the rung of personal satisfaction for many people. I would love to do what it takes to raise our level of appreciation for what makes our soul sing and shout with joy!

1 John 4:16 NIV
…God is love…
…God is love…
Three small words yet so profound. In all of scripture this is one of the most definitive statements about God. There are many aspects to God; his power, his majesty, his knowledge, his eternal nature, his creativity and so on, but all of these come out of these the words. God is love.
We are called to be like him.
Lord, may my life by defined by love.

However on the whole we have been very lucky and we missed out on the heavy snowfall thankfully. Calving has progressed well with lots of calves waiting to go out onto some green grass! Spring Crops Barley was drilled on the 26th of March, which was later than usual. The weather still remains extremely cold and the grass growth is...Read More
November 2012 Farm update
As one farming year closes another starts. One is tempted to review the past and wonder how it might inform the future. I suspect for most the memory of the 2012 farming year will, not for the first time, be the weather. The rams have gone in with the ewes and the whole process starts again. In farming, we are always looking ahead. The cows are all housed apart from the Red Polls who are grazing stubble turnips. Winter routine is in full swing. All cows have been scanned and I am extremely pleased that they are back in calf after an extreme summer. All the ewes are going to be scanned in the...Read More

/ / Metadatos
This section covers the new Sequences feature for the Phase One XF system camera and how you can use it to automatically name files and create sub folders, search and group images together from a number of related photos.
A Sequence is a series of related photos captured using certain features available on the Phase One XF series camera. The Hyperfocal Distance tool and the new Time Lapse, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Focus Stacking functions introduced with Feature Update #2 all create Sequences automatically.
After you've captured a series of images or Sequence using one or more of the new tools, you'll almost certainly want to view the photos together and customize your workflow around them. Sequences allow you to do that and more.
When you import images from a CompactFlash card or directly with a tethered Phase One XF series camera, Capture One can identify those Sequences by the metadata recorded by the camera at the time of capture. The camera tags the RAW files with the following properties:
Capture One can use this data in a number of ways:
When importing from a CompactFlash card, or when using the XF camera tethered, Capture One can automatically name photos and folders using the Sequence properties. You can use one just one property or any combination of the four in the naming of Sequences. The same tokens can be used for batch re-naming, or for naming on export. As part of Capture One's Dynamic Locations feature, they can be used to automatically create named sub-folders for each Sequence, either on import, export or both.
After import, photos will appear in the Browser in order of capture. To differentiate a Sequence from other non-sequence captured photos, a multi-frame icon is displayed in the lower left corner of each image in the Filmstrip and Grid views. In the List view, the Browser shows the Sequence ID in order of capture.
When an image is selected, the sequence count, total type and ID can be determined from the Vendor Specific drop-down section of the Metadata tab under Sequence ID and Sequence Info. When using the HyperFocal AF mode on a tethered Phase One XF camera system, the HyperFocal MCU value is recorded during capture and is displayed in the Description field under the IPTC - Content section. After checking the multiple images for focus accuracy in the Viewer, you can manually transfer the MCU value from the optimal image to the camera. See the XF owner's manual for more information on the Hyperfocal distance tool.
When importing images from a CompactFlash card from the Phase One XF system camera and one or more Sequence has been captured, Capture One can automatically create and name sub-folders based on the metadata properties of the Sequence.
For example, when you have captured 10 HDR Sequences and then import them using the Dynamic Location Token for Sequence ID, Capture One can automatically create and name a sub folder for each HDR bracket, or Sequence.
Note: When images are included on the CompactFlash card that aren't part of Sequence, re-open the importer and import images using a more relevant folder naming format.
When importing images from a CompactFlash card from the Phase One XF system camera and one or more Sequence has been captured, Capture One can automatically name the images based on the metadata properties of the Sequence.
Note: When images are included on the CompactFlash card that aren't part of a Sequence, re-open the importer and import images using a more relevant naming format.
When a Sequence is being captured with a tethered Phase One XF system camera, Capture One can automatically name the images during import based on the metadata properties of the Sequence.
You can search any collection for image Sequences using the Filters tool to find the Sequence metadata assigned at the time of capture by the Phase One XF camera system. You can search by Sequence Type, ID, Count and Total.
Any Sequence can be selected from the Browser and isolated from other non-related images to get an overview and help with the initial organization. Photos are displayed in succession, unless images have been manually rearranged (i.e., the sort order has been changed).
After a Sequence has been selected you can save the Sequence as an Album. When there are multiple Sequences, you can select an entire import, or collection and create multiple Albums automatically, saving time and effort organizing the sequences into their respective groups.
When exporting images Capture One can automatically create and name sub-folders based on the metadata properties of the Sequence. For example, you have captured 10 separate Focus Stacking Sequences, made some preliminary edits and now want to export the images for merging and rendering. Capture One can process the images and automatically create and name a sub-folder for each Focus Stacking Sequence.
Automatically naming and creating sub-folders on export using Capture One's Dynamic Locations feature can be achieved on an improvised basis using the Process Recipe tool (using Sequence tokens in the Sub Folder text field). However this is a specialized tool intended to make presets and this particular option is useful when creating sub-folders by file format (using Recipe Name tokens). Best practice when creating Sequence sub-folders is to use the Output Location tool instead.
Naming images on export can be achieved on an improvised basis using the Process Recipe tool (using Sequence tokens in the Sub Name text field and providing a complementary Sub Name token is used in the Output Naming tool). However it is a specialized tool intended to make presets. Best practice is to use the Output Naming tool instead.
When capturing image sequences destined for focus stacking you can use Capture One to select the appropriate sequence and then export the images to the dedicated focus stacking application, Helicon Focus ®, by Helicon Soft Ltd. This is a third-party utility and a separate license is required. Capture One can either process Phase One RAW files (IIQ 16-bit, IIQ L and IIQ S only) as either JPEG or TIFF and then export those files, or export previously processed JPEG or TIFF files to Helicon Focus. After the files are composited and saved in Helicon Focus, the rendered file is returned to Capture One. Please note Helicon Focus does not support Phase One RAW files, therefore these files must first be processed before adopting the Open With workflow, or as a result of using the Edit With... option.

Vastavam web: WhatsApp will launch a "full feature" inter-bank money transfer service in India, its biggest market, after a test involving a million users, National Payments Corp of India said.Friday's statement marks the de facto official launch of WhatsApp's new service as NPCI is the body set up by the central bank and lenders to oversee payment services.
Four banks will join United Payments Interface (UPI) – which powers the payments service – for WhatsApp, NPCI said. At present, India's third-biggest lender ICICI Bank processes the fund transfers on WhatsApp, the application shows.WhatsApp's popularity in India is likely to pose a threat to established players, but it is entering a competitive market after Alphabet Inc's Google launched a payments app last year to compete with local players.

The US-led military campaign against the so-called Islamic State (IS) in Syria will intensify over the coming weeks following recent airstrikes. IS will suffer significant tactical blows and is unlikely to gain much territory beyond current borders, but the group will remain a resilient fighting force over the next few years.
Involvement of Persian Gulf Arab states in the campaign will increase risks that IS undertakes retaliatory attacks in the region, the Business Monitor International reported on Wednesday.
The US and regional allies launched air and missile strikes in Syria for the first t time on September 23, in a move that substantially expands the military role of the Arab states. At least 50 strikes hit the governorate of Raqqa, where the IS headquarters is located, as well as areas along the Iraq-Syria border. Beyond IS - the main target of the operations - the coalition also hit the al-Qaeda-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra, IS' largest Islamist rival, and the so-called Khorasan group, a network of seasoned al-Qaeda veterans which US officials believe is plotting imminent attacks on the West. Informed sources say the latest attacks substantially increase the risk that IS and al-Nusra will undertake retaliatory actions in the region.
Washington's move had been widely anticipated by BMI. In its latest article covering the fight against IS wrote: 'The US will conduct airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria over the coming weeks ...
Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain took part in the military operation; although their exact roles in the military action were unclear, they were reportedly involved in the bombing rather than providing purely logistic al support.
Highly Intertwined
The BMI also sees a strong possibility that the UK and particularly France will also decide to join air strikes in Syria over the coming months. The latter carried out its first airstrikes against IS targets in Iraq on September 19. Both Paris and London said their involvement will be limited to Iraq; that said, the Syrian and Iraqi fronts are highly intertwined, and the French and British governments could well decide to widen their involvement at a later stage.
The active part played by Jordan and the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council in the latest operations represents a significant escalation of their role. It was previously thought unlikely that the (P)GCC would take military action against IS, given challenging internal political conditions and geopolitical considerations.
Opted for direct intervention suggests that they now feel more comfortable deploying their military forces around the region. Indeed, the Syria attacks come only weeks after the UAE and Egypt launched airstrikes against Islamist militias in Libya.
In the nearer term, the intervention of the Arab states substantially increases the risk of retaliatory actions by IS.
The jihadist group has responded to Western military operations by seizing hostages and calling for attacks abroad, and will now see the (P)GCC as a legitimate target.

Considering the importance, it's quite surprising the need for Email List Hygiene is not widely known. Every email marketer seems to always worry about their deliverability rates and the quality of their content. Is the advertisement good enough? Could the campaign be more interesting? While maintaining deliverability is of paramount, quality content is not the only thing they must put into consideration.
One of the best methods to improve deliverability rates is by improving list hygiene. Unlike maintaining hygiene in real life, this one takes a bit more effort than soap and water. Below are the most common and effective way to do it.
Remove inactive subscribers
The general practice is to simply get rid of contacts that haven't opened any of your emails in the past 6-months. Other than to ensure effectiveness, one of the primary reasons is to avoid spam trap on your contact list. This typically happens when an email account has been inactive for a long period of time. When an account is inactive for so long, their ISP typically would have 'gravestoned' in the process.
Therefore, many industry professionals strongly advise list purging once every 12 to 18 months. To retain some subscribers, you may add "this is your last email" on your final email before removing them. Another benefit of purging is a spike in open rates. Once you have gotten rid of inactive contacts on your list, the opener ratio increases upwards to 25-percent. This results in higher engagement.
Email list building practices for better list hygiene
While applying the usual list-building practices is still a good idea, experts have found better practices to avoid potential spam complaints and hard bounces. Some of them can be seen in the following list.
· Apply double opt-in method
This method requires new subscribers to click on a link sent with confirmation email. Until then, these subscibers are not actually subscribed. Many marketers have reservations due to the fact that it reduces opt-in rates by 30-percent. However, compared to single opt-in method, it increases engagement rate which is good for your list hygiene.
· Never purchase an email list
Buying an email list is an old age practice many marketers tend to do. But nothing screams poor hygiene and contains spam trap which will then be followed with complains.
While on paper these are considered a solid method, some of these practices may hurt your revenue if not done properly. So how do email marketers pull it off the right way without having to risk consequences? Verifications.io has the answer. Offering a myriad of services to ensure your marketing efficiency, Verifications.io covers all of your list hygiene and needs.

Before I share with you the next two days of this exciting trip, here's a brief recap of Part 1:
On arrival, we spent our first night at O'Callaghan Hotel, St. Stephens Green in Dublin. The next day, we were regaled with stories about Hurling, Ireland's national sport, at The Marble Bar, followed by a visit to Kilkenny Castle and the Medieval Museum. Next stop was a tour and beer tasting at Smithwick's Ale Experience Visitor Centre, with Day 1 ending with drumming and dinner at Kyteler's Inn, Kilkenny's oldest pub, followed by an overnight stay at The River Court Hotel.
DAY 2: At the top of the morning, we were off to Jerpoint Park – Lost Town of St. Nicholas, located outside Thomastown, County Kilkenny – and thought to be the final resting place of St. Nicholas, known as the Patron Saint of Prostitutes. Next stop was Woodstock Gardens and Arboretum in Kilkenny's Inistioge County, followed by a short drive to New Ross in County Wexford for our visit to the reconstructed Dunbrody Famine Ship or The Irish Emigrant Experience. The day was topped off by a fabulous meal at the Dunbrody Country House Hotel & Restaurant located in Dunbrody Park, where we also spent the night.
DAY 3: Well rested and raring to go on yet another exciting day, we were off to visit the Hook Lighthouse, a building located at the tip of the Hook Peninsula in Churchtown, Hook Head, County Wexford. Along the way Tanya, our very knowledgeable, and most entertaining guide, (she even sings) gave us some insight into the proper manners accompanying being invited for tea. When offered a cup of tea, you must first say, "No. No. No. Ah. Don't go through any trouble." After about the third or fourth "no," you would relent and graciously accept that cup of tea. She also told us that Halloween was originally the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in), a pagan festival going back 2,000 years. On November 1, people would light bonfires and wear costumes and masks to chase out roaming ghosts. Of course, over time Halloween morphed into how it is celebrated today – kids wearing costumes going door-to-door asking for a treat. Last year, my friend and I gave out over 3,000 pieces of candy. I tried asking a couple of kids to show me a trick, which totally threw them. They just wanted the treat, and who could blame them. Tanya also explained the symbolism of the 3-leaf Shamrock, which represents the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, which I believe is now the Holy Spirit. She also told us words the Irish use such as runners for sneakers, or jumpers for sweaters. I'm sure you wouldn't want to say a word that would offend our Irish friends, so please, please do not ever, ever say "fanny pack" as it's meaning is quite different from the American definition and it will be quite offensive. Enough said. You must trust me on this.
But I digress and so it's back to the Hook Lighthouse. The day was slightly overcast as we arrived at the Lighthouse, said to be the oldest operating lighthouse in the world. An imposing sight to behold, it was built in the early 1200s by Knight William Marshal to safeguard the entrance to Waterford Harbour and provide assistance to ships heading for the newly established port of New Ross on the River Barrow. This tour is a virtual step back in history as we heard tales about medieval times and life as a light keeper. One interesting factoid about this region: "Saving Private Ryan" was filmed on the beaches of County Wexford.
Following a short introduction and a look at some of the apparatus, most of the group opted to climb the 115 winding, narrow, uneven steps to the top for a panorama view of the ocean. I suppose I should confess that being claustrophobic, I respectfully declined the trek up those stairs and instead headed for the gift shop where I purchased a few souvenirs for friends. My colleagues did share that at the top they were greeted by a life-size hologram of St. Dughan, who talked about the nights he spent with his fellow monks in the 5th century, warning sailors against dangers with a beacon they kept shining on the headland. But don't let me stop you as the Hook Lighthouse was voted one of the top ten places to visit in Ireland, so definitely put this experience on your itinerary. Families love the games on the lawns and fun activities offered year round, plus the annual calendar of special events and festivals.
Once more, we climbed back into our van and headed to Tintern Abbey, a Cistercian Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII. Our guide at was James Mahoney, who told us the story about the construction of the Abbey, which dates back to the 13th century. William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, was caught in a violent storm and vowed to God that if he made it ashore safely, he would build this monastery in his honor, and so he did. The Abbey was home to monks and sisters, who had a separate chapel. Do check out the famous 17th century restored Walled Garden.
Our next experience was the beautiful Colclough Gardens. Restoration work began in July 2010 resulting in the recreation of the original layout of the garden back in 1838, when the walled garden was built by the Coclough family. One of the journalists, Angel Valera, volunteered to plant a seedling. We all watched as he dug a small hole and carefully placed the seedling in it. We applauded as he did a splendid job. Do take a peaceful stroll through this bucolic setting and enjoy the gorgeous selection of plants, flowers, and trees. Soon your worries and cares will slowly drift away.
Being a travel writer is a privilege. It is generally fun but do understand that you are introduced to myriad tourism destinations, offering wonderful travel opportunities to share with your readers. The days are long and compacted and sometimes you just get tired, so with the next destination a little less than an hour way, it was a golden opportunity for a little shuteye, which my friend Angel so beautifully captured. At least my mouth was not open.
We arrived at the Irish National Heritage Park in Newtown, Ferrycarrig, Wexford, often referred to as the "sunny south east." Located on the banks of the River Slaney, the Park is an outdoor museum situated within natural forestry and wet woodlands and spans over 35 acres. Depicting 9000 years of re-created Irish history, the museum is said to be the cornerstone of Ireland's Ancient East, covering the prehistoric through Norman periods, featuring buildings or structures germane to each period.
I suppose I should fess up to another potentially claustrophobic experience. One of the small buildings was an old grain mill and the group was guided into that very tiny space. I decided to sit this one out, as did my colleague from Denmark. We chatted away about this and that waiting for our group to emerge. After a while, we realized that too much time had passed and the group should have been out of the building by now. So, we walked around to the back and lo and behold there was a rear exit and clearly our group had left quite a while ago. Now the challenge was to reconnect with our colleagues and off we went in search of them.
We walked through winding paths and up and down small hills with no sign of the other journalists anywhere. We were quite certain they wouldn't leave us there although there was a replica of a 1,500- year-old Irish house with stonewalls and a thatched roof in the ringfort which offered sleepover services.* No water. No electricity. No heat. No thanks! Cooking is done in an open fire outside the big house. My idea of roughing it is sleeping with one pillow instead of two at a 5-star hotel. Anyway, eventually our guide retrieved us and we finished the rest of the tour with our colleagues.
Happily, our day was not over yet as we were off to South County Wicklow where we checked into the BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, a beautiful luxurious country house which combines rustic charm with state-of-the-art facilities.
Just when you thought food could not get any better than previous meals, we were in for a major taste sensation at the famous, multi- awarding winning Strawberry Tree Restaurant located in the BrookLodge Hotel, where chef/owner Evan Doyle created an elegant dining room. In our honor, he put together a 10–Course Tasting Menu using locally sourced, totally organic ingredients from the land or the sea. As the wine began to flow, we said, "Let the eating games begin." And so they did and out came an array of exquisitely prepared dishes.
DAY 4: After the unbelievable meal last night at the Strawberry Tree Restaurant, luckily the first adventure this morning would be an early-morning 6km (3 ½ miles) walking tour of the village through charming winding paths and slight inclines, offering a breathtaking view of the countryside. The exercise felt great.
Filled with vim and vigor, we were ready for our next destination and departed for Rathnew for lunch at the Hunter's Hotel in County Wicklow. Ireland's oldest coaching inn, it has been under the ownership of the Hunter/Gelletlie family since 1825. Their Victorian kitchen garden and stable yard have been unchanged for centuries so they have retained their original charm. With yet another delicious meal under our belts, we were treated to a pleasant stroll through its lovely award-winning gardens overlooking the River Vartry.
The final destination on our packed itinerary would be Powerscourt Gardens and House in Enniskerry, County Wicklow. Voted the third most beautiful garden in the world by National Geographic magazine, the sprawling gardens cover 19 hectares, or almost 47 acres. It is a magnificent blend of formal gardens, terraces, statues, and beautiful lakes, all of which you can reach through the meandering walks. The gardens are also home to Ireland's highest waterfall. Having had the pleasure of experiencing many of Ireland's amazing gardens, and interviewing some of the head gardeners, it became crystal clear that gardening is truly part of the Irish DNA and touring these gardens a travel experience you absolutely must put on your itinerary.
Our extraordinary official journey had concluded. Our last night was spent at the Trinity City Hotel on Pearse Street in Dublin City, where we our group got together for one last time for a leisurely dinner. Tomorrow we would all be traveling home to different parts of the world with hopes that someday we would re-connect on another press trip.
Before I close, here are a few more factoids given to us by Tanya. No beeping of horns is allowed other than to greet each other, and vehicles containing a driver-in training have an "L" on the license plate signifying "learning." In saying goodbye to us, our parting words from Tanya, was "Don't cry because it's over – celebrate that we met." And, indeed we will…
*Ringforts or ring fortresses, dating back to the Early Medieval Period, are circular fortified settlements built up to about the year 1000 by Gaelic nobility. They are one of Ireland's most common field monuments with an estimated 30,000-40,000 scattered throughout the country.

Hello, need some help. Do you have a good product you would recommend that would kill brush overgrowth and poison ivy, but not harm the surrounding young & mature oak, pine trees, etc? Some that hopefully wouldn't harm the grass surrounding the area either. Thank you in advance for your help!

Paddle steamer under Vysehrad rock © Stanislav Jelen
Sitting on a hill above the Vltava River, The Vysehrad Citadel has played an important part in Czech history for over 1000 years, serving as a royal residence, religious centre and military fortress. Today, many still view it as Prague's spiritual home. The citadel's centerpiece is the Church of St Peter and St Paul, its twin spires of the Neo-Gothic Saints Peter and Paul Church visible from as far away as Prague Castle. No other site in the city has as much distinction attached to it. Behind the church is the Slavin Cemetery, where many distinguished Czech artists, scientists, doctors, poets and academics are buried. The hill also boasts one of Prague's original rotundas, the Rotunda of St Martin, which dates from the 11th century. From the battlements the view of the Vltava Valley is superb, and many tourists in Prague come to Vysehrad simply to take pictures of the impressive vista.
Address: V Pevnosti 159/5b, Prague 2
Website: www.praha-vysehrad.cz
Telephone: 241 410 247 or 241 410 348
Transport: Metro to Vysehrad on the C line.

Salt Bae meets Capitals at Miami restaurant
It feels like half of the Washington Capitals are spending the All-Star break and bye week in Miami, so it was really only a matter of time before they started showing up at the same restaurants.
On Sunday, Dmitry Orlov and Capitals first-round pick Ilya Samsonov had dinner together in Nusr-Et, a Turkish steakhouse made famous by founder and viral meme sensation Nusret Gökçe, also known as Salt Bae.
The next night, Andre Burakovsky and Jakub Vrana showed up at the same restaurant. Both groups did their rendition of the famous Salt Bae sprinkle.

We are thoroughly enjoying our Desert vacation. While driving into town and looking all around you see this. Miles and miles of this:
Brown hills everywhere! And it made me wonder how this place even gets its water...how do people live here? So with some googling, I've learned that this place is fed by underground springs, which is of course how Palm Springs got its name. This part of California has come alive not just from the spring water underground and its rows and rows of signature palm trees, but also with a string of resort communities—Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells and of course Palm Springs. These cool little communities attract tourists yearly with its abundance of golf courses, sunshine and outdoor activities. Back in the 1950s, stars like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley built sleek estates, played rounds of golf at championship courses, and wined and dined the desert night away. In fact as we drove around we noticed many streets named after movie stars -- Bob Hope Drive, Dinah Shore Drive, Frank Sinatra Drive and Gene Autry Trail to name a few. These Hollywood stars have long gone but their names live on in these streets.
On day 2 of our little getaway, we headed into the El Paseo shopping district of Palm Desert. To thoroughly enjoy this swanky strip of town, you need to give yourself lots of time! There are stores galore! But first we had lunch at Wilma & Frieda's cafe right on El Paseo Drive. This popular breakfast and lunch cafe at The Gardens on El Paseo was featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." ...where Mr. Fieri himself gave them a rousing thumbs up for their short rib melt. On our visit we had something a little bit healthier -- the Caprese sandwich.
This sandwich was delicious -- filled with roma tomato, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leaf with a light and refreshing avocado basil spread. It was a beautiful day -- not blistering hot and we enjoyed our food outside.
After eating we went for a walk along the strip to check out the shops and enjoy the sun (and to burn off what we ate!!!) First stop: Williams-Sonoma. While known for their professional quality cooking and bakeware, what they are also famous for is their spices and rubs!
Trevor was specifically looking for a wooden spoon made from olive wood and I was looking for one of those smooth edge can openers that leave your canned goods with no sharp edges you could accidentally injure yourself with. Of course both were not in stock!!!
Check out this really unique, one of a kind stove. And it's GREEN!! My favourite colour!
There was lots to see and lots to buy. If only they had a Williams-Sonoma closer to home! (....wait I take that back. I would go broke if there was one close by!)
It was a relaxing day which we finished off by stopping at Ralph's Fresh Foods and getting groceries to make dinner at the hotel, since we had a full kitchen. We are enjoying this vacation so far, another update on what we did on day 3 coming next!
