SEVENTY-FIVE years is a grand number in the history of any organisation and marks the culmination of all its accomplishments over time.
This number looms large for Hospital Welfare and Muslim Educational Movement (HWMEM), which emerged in 1942, when the world was at war.
The Union of South Africa, as the country was then called, joined the British Commonwealth forces in World War II battles in North Africa against Nazi Germany.
The South African military personnel included Muslims, some of whom were convalescing patients at Somerset Hospital, in Cape Town. A few concerned local Muslims assisted with the dietary needs of these patients.
Their assistance was also extended to Muslim families in respect of burial and mortuary services. It is through the former initiative that the hospital welfare part of the organisation emerged.
Another initiative of Muslims, under the yoke of the oppressive apartheid government, emerged. According to executive members of HWMEM today, the Muslims in 1969 collaborated with contemporary liberation movements, namely the ANC and the PAC with a view to establishing an education fund.
HWMEM today affirms that this initiative was driven by a commitment to 'education before liberation', a striking paradox to the recalcitrant slogan that advocated the opposite in the school boycotts of the 1980s.
This was followed by the establishment of the Education Bursary portfolio of HWMEM to assist students at tertiary institutions.
HWMEM also played an important role in resisting the racially based permit system in the seventies and early eighties. The collaboration between HWMEM and the universities exposed these institutions to the risk of losing their state subsidies.The first disbursement to deserving students was in the amount of R720.
Seventy-five years is a testament of an organisation's perseverance in difficult times, where there is competing demand for limited resources. And the executives of HWMEM prefer to frame it as a commemoration as the connotations of celebration evoke opulence and excess.
Their ethos is a commitment to frugality, keeping operational costs low and maximising efficiency and delivery. This is reflected in their modest offices and the growth in their financial support in education.
In addition, for over seven decades, 99 per cent of the members of the organisation have been and still are volunteers.
Another key value is their commitment to supporting a diversity of beneficiaries, ensuring that this is reflected in the demographics of their students. And this includes religious diversity.
All the stalwarts of HWMEM are worthy of celebration and many of the current members were mentored and guided by them.
Financial assistance to students pursuing tertiary education amounts to R24millon to approximately 4500 needy students over seven decades. In 2017 alone, HWMEM disbursed R2,1 million to 170 students at a number of higher learning institutions in South Africa.
As a part of the education portfolio, HWMEM also administers a school for the visually impaired, namely Madrassa-tul Khayr. This is a free Quran learning programme for the blind and partially sighted. The school has a roll of fifteen, mainly adult learners.
HWMEM continues to attend to the dietary needs of Muslim patients in hospital. This involves regular inspections and the certification of kitchens as halaal. The organisation has oversight of the provision of halaal food at over 23 state and selected private hospitals in the Western Cape.
Another service that is sustained through its historical legacy is the mortuary and burial service of HWMEM. This includes assistance to families with socio-legal, burial arrangements as well as pauper burials.
The increase in the number of refugees and immigrants from other African countries to Cape Town has seen this service become more essential.
The social welfare and outreach programme of HWMEM includes the disbursement of zakaahby means of feeding schemes, food parcels and annual Ramadaan programmes. The organisation has also assessed and assisted numerous needy families in the community who qualify for zakaah.
Social welfare support extends to orphanages and old age homes. HWMEM also runs a wheelchair distribution programme to disabled members in the community in need of wheelchairs.
Looking ahead, HWMEM plans to grow and diversify its investment in all its programmes. For example, financial assistance to students is not only earmarked for an increase but additional support in the form of workshops on career guidance is envisaged.
It is worth noting that HWMEM also plans to introduce social responsibility projects for its bursary beneficiaries with a view to inculcate social welfare awareness and the need to assist others in the community.
In light of this vision, the call to traditional donors as well as new donors for support is clear. HWMEM is ready to make a bigger impact over the next seventy-five years.

Twin Bill had been choosing to stage plays with dark, taboo or similarly sobering subject matter since they began as a theater production company in 2012. "Dog Sees God" was about bullying and depression. "Suicide Incorporated" was about suicide. "My Name is Asher Lev" was about conflict between artistry and religion. "Wit" was about cancer. This new play of theirs, Mark St. Germain's "Dancing Lessons" may have lightened up a little but still tackled another serious topic -- autism.
Ever Montgomery was a college professor previously diagnosed to have Asperger's Syndrome, on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. Ever since childhood, he had suffered an irrational fear of being touched, even by his own mother. Senga Quinn was a dancer on Broadway who was sidelined by a serious knee injury that necessitated her to wear a leg brace. When Ever was invited to attend an important dinner-dance party, he decided to seek Senga's help to teach him how to dance.
Pena and Villarama as Senga and Ever
(photo by Jaypee Maristaza, from Twin Bill FB Page)
This was a play about going outside your comfort zone and daring to face change. Ever Montgomery had been living his same humdrum day-to-day existence with zero social intimacy since his childhood. But now, forced to attend social gathering for which he could not be absent, Ever was faced with the daunting challenge of conquering his biggest fears, and since it involved social interaction, he knew he could not do it himself.
For this lead role, Randy Villarama went over beyond all those minor roles I had seen him in before to inhabit this specially demanding role. He kept in character the whole time, from his empty gaze which looked beyond Senga, to those repetitive nervous twitches in his hand, his constant fixing of his belt buckle, to his mile-a-minute enumerations of complex statistics. His initial lousy attempts to move to a Rihanna song were hilarious. His successful attempts to break through his constricting psychiatric shackles were uplifting.
For Senga, at first, teaching Ever to dance was just an easy way to earn a thousand dollars. She was brash and angry at the world, wallowing in her own self-pity because of her injury in one leg. She was an alcoholic and a junkie on pain meds. Later, their relationship evolved to things other than dancing. Senga essentially transitioned into becoming a therapist to draw Ever out of the fears that imprisoned him psychologically. In the same breath that she was healing him, she was being healed herself.
I had heard the name of Jill Pena in the ensemble of several plays I had watched before, but honestly this is the first time that I am solidly putting a face to her name. As Senga, Pena fluidly went through her character's arc with sensitivity and warmth, subtly breaking down the defenses she walled herself behind since her debilitation. She had to change first before Ever could change. It was her own change that led to Ever's change. Pena had us believing that her Senga could have such a significant effect on a man like Ever.
Baylocon, Villarama, Pena, Garcia at their curtain call
The set design of Kayla Teodoro was a single circular raised platform with a ramp that led to a solid door on the backdrop on which key points were being flashed. The all-wood set pieces with the lighting design of Joseph Matheu imparted a sense of warmth. The dancing of Marielle Joy Baylocon and Al Bernard Garcia, as choreographed by JM Cabling, reflected the exhilaration of Senga and Ever's spirits beyond their physical limitations. Kudos to Twin Bill co-founder and artistic director Francis Matheu for leading his team through this fulfilling emotional and psychological journey.

Buffalo defense smothers KSU in regular season final, 63-47
At its best, Buffalo has one of the best defenses in the Mid-American Conference.
The Bulls were most definitely at their best Saturday in beating Kent State 63-47 in the final regular season game. They held KSU to 14 points total in the second and third quarter, forcing 25 Kent State turnovers. The Flashes never really got a chance to run their offense.
The loss sends Kent State (6-22, 3-15) to Eastern Michigan for the first round of the MAC Tournament in a 5 p.m. game Monday. Eastern is 19-10 and 10-8 in the conference and beat the Flashes 72-51 at Eastern in January.
Buffalo held Jordan Korinek, Kent State's leading scorer, to two points on 1 of 10 shooting through the first three quarters.
"Buffalo is a very physical team, and they were very physical on Jordan when she got the ball," coach Danny O'Banion said in her postgame radio interview. "It affected her. She lost confidence, and the team lost confidence."
Korinek, who averages 15.9 points a game, had eight points overall and 12 rebounds. She had four turnovers.
Buffalo held Larissa Lurken, KSU's second-leading scorer, to just one shot in the first half. Lurken also finished with eight points on 3 of 7 shooting. She had five turnovers.
McKenna Stephens led Kent State with 12 points and eight rebounds, both equalizing season highs.
- Korinek had two blocks, which equaled a career high. (She's done it five times.) Her 23 percent field goal percentage was worst of the season; her 12 rebounds was second highest of her career.
- Junior College transfer Keziah Lewis had three steals – a career high – in 13 minutes, the most she's played in five games.
- Buffalo, the MAC's third-leading rebounding team, outrebounded KSU 43-35. In the first half, the Flashes outrebounded Buffalo 21-15. In the second half, it was Buffalo 28-14. The Bulls had 16 offensive rebounds in the second half.
Tournament seedings and schedule
- No. 9 Bowling Green (6-11 MAC, 10-16 overall) at No. 8 Buffalo (8-10, 16-13).
- No. 12 Miami (3-15, 9-20) at No. 5 Akron (10-7, 16-12).
- No. 10 Northern Illinois (4-14, 11-18) at No. 7 Western Michigan (8-10, 16-14).
- No. 11 Kent State (3-15, 6-22) at No. 6 Eastern Michigan (10-8, 19-10).
Wednesday (at Quicken Loans Arena)
- Bowling Green-Buffalo winner vs. No. 1 Ohio (16-2, 24-5).
- Miami-Akron winner vs. No. 4 Toledo (12-6, 17-12).
- Northern Illinois-Western Michigan winner vs. No. 2 Central Michigan (14-4, 20-9).

- Ohio 77, Miami 58, at Miami.
- Western Michigan 64, Northern Illinois 60, at Northern.
- Ball State 68, Toledo 58, at Toledo.

Lifesavers welcome rock fishing announcement
SURF Life Saving's Steven Pearce has backed a NSW Government decision to allow coastal councils to make life jackets mandatory for rock fishers if they believe it will cut down on drownings.
The second stage of the Rock Fishing Safety Act was signed off in Macquarie Street on Friday morning following a trial in Randwick Local Government Area and the SLSNSW chief executive said it will increase safety aspects of a potentially dangerous activity.
"First responders see the devastating impact on families and communities when rock fishing accidents occur," he said.
"In so many of these incidents a tragedy could well have been averted if the rock fisher had been wearing a simple flotation device and we support any initiative that will help make the sport safer"
In the past fortnight there have been two rock fishing tragedies in NSW waters bringing the total number of fatalities to seven and with less than three months of the season remaining.
Since August 2015 there have been 25 coastal drownings attributed directly to rock fishing, largely as a result of people either slipping off exposed platforms or being washed into the sea.
In almost all cases the fishers were not wearing a flotation device and the victims were overwhelmingly male.
Rock Fishing Safety Tips
Check the weather, surf conditions and tides before going fishing.
Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back.
Always wear a life jacket.
Wear appropriate non-slip footwear and light clothing.
Always fish with a friend.
Check the warnings signs for information about the area.
Never turn your back to the water.
Do not try and retrieve anything that has fallen into the water.
Do not jump in if someone falls into the water but wait for assistance or throw an angel ring or lifebuoy if there is one nearby.
Boaters are urged to always check conditions prior and to log on with their local Marine Rescue Base via radio or using the MarineRescue App.
Call Triple Zero-Police (000) to report an in-water emergency.

I have a plugin for Wireshark that works when copying my files to
Now I want to build my plugin as part of Wireshark. The myplug.obj, myplug.lib (needed by myplugin.dll to built), and myplug.dll are located outside of the C:\wireshark-trunk and everything is built correctly but I cannot get myplug.dll copied into the wireshark folder during initial build.
What file(s) do I need to look at to include myplug.dll for packaging?

"The Second Mechanism" is the sound of five men determined to forge their own musical path, no matter where it might lead them. The departure of two founder members of the band in 2010 forced Diagonal to regroup, to re-build.
"The Second Mechanism" is the sound of that band reborn, ready to propel DIAGONAL - The Second Mechanism LP listeners on a journey to the outer reaches of rock music. The normal rules do not apply here; there is only the obsessive, unashamed spirit of eclecticism and no-holds-barred musical excess. Thunderous and hypnotic; euphoric and brutal, Diagonal is uncompromising in its approach and fearless in the creation of music which combines Prog, Jazz, Psych, Krautrock and Metal into an intense and explosive mixture which seems to belong to neither past, present nor future, yet somehow sounds like all three."

2017 Audi TT RS Redesign, Release, ChangesCategory : Audi
2017 Audi TT RS Redesign, Release and Changes – Welcome to Futurecarrelease.com, this time I will give information about the world, namely the Audi. More precisely 2017 Audi TT RS will be present in the world car market by 2017. I will present information about the 2017 Audi TT RS is about a review, release date, price, specs and engine. Congratulations read something about the information that I have prepared, and if you want to know the latest updates about the latest cars visit the blog Futurecarrelease.com.
Even though the 2016 model Audi TT was unveiled during early 2014, it did not arrive at the US market until 2015. The TT-RS story started during 2009, 11 years following the launch of the Audi TT and three years after the introduction of the TT Mk2. Available as both a roadster and a coupe, it climbed on top of the TTS in the TT series. Whether the elevated performance TT-RS will have the similar fate is still secrecy, but the superior news is that the German automaker has just revealed the beefed-up coupe and the roadster body styles of the 2017 Audi TT RS at the 2016 Auto Show in Beijing, where the automaker dropped the official details of the 2017 Audi TT RS Roadster. It remains to be observed whether North America will acquire it before 2017, but when that occurs, the American gearheads will acquire the most powerful and the lightest TT ever manufactured.
From the front, the RS model features a more distinctive silver spoiler and a deep groove at the bottom of the hexagonal green which no other Audi has. The side skirts and fenders appear identical to those on the TTS, but the wheels are new and remind us of the "Brooklyn" alloys of the Golf GTI, but with more spokes. As for the rear, it's defined by the obligatory twin oval exhaust pipes and fixed wing bolted onto the trunk.
2017 Audi TT RS Price
Pricing for the new 2017 Audi TT RS has been set at $68,000 – $75,000 based on current exchange rates. If there are changes on the 2017 Audi TT RS we will notify you as soon as possible, so keep follow our blog.
2017 Audi TT RS Specs
Styling sideways, the new TT-RS Roadster marks the debut of the Matrix OLED expertise of Audi on series-production tail lamps as an option. Each Matrix tail lamp includes four wafer-slim units that turn into smaller from the inside out. The largest of them holds the TT emblem and the four rings of Audi. What creates this expertise extraordinary is that the Matrix OLEDs release an exceptionally homogeneous, high-contrast glow, which can be incessantly dimmed, and it does not shed any shadows and does not need any reflectors. The same expertise is also available for the headlights, otherwise outfitted with LED expertise as standard.
All models of the new Audi TT RS Roadster 2017 will be offered with a screen of size 12.3 inches as part of an instrument cluster. It can be utilized in three views, counting a special RS monitor that accentuates the rev counter and offers information on g-force, torque, and tire pressure, amongst other things. The electronic cluster also shows a shift light, which tells the driver that the engine maximum has been attained, just similar to a rally sedan. The sportiness of the new vehicle is further improved by the carbon fiber and aluminum border on the door panels, center console, bolstered seats and the sports pedals.
The external design of the next generation Audi TT Roadster is based on the third-generation TT, which indicates that it comes equipped with a sharp grille, a revamped bumper and a set of redesigned headlamps in the front. Making the car appear far more hostile than its standard sibling is the honeycomb, single outline grille, the bigger air intakes in the front bumper, and the silver blade-like component at the base of the apron. The profile is further enhanced by Beefier side skirts and fenders, carbon fiber mirror caps, and recently designed wheels.
2017 Audi TT RS Engine
The 2017 Audi TT comes equipped with a redesigned version of the 2.5-liter capacity, turbo-five frivolous constructed power plant, which is 22 pounds (10 kg) more frivolous than the engine of the earlier model. This power plant produces the peak power of 400 ponies, which is 60 ponies more than that of the second-generation TT-RS and 40 ponies than that of TT-RS Plus. It also delivers the peak twist of 354 pounds per foot, which is 22 pounds per foot more than that of the earlier TT-RS and 12 pounds per foot that of the TT-RS Plus.
The basic formula of the new TT RS will be much the same as the previous model, which we found to be a very impressive car. Power will come from a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-5 and will be sent to the ground via a standard quattro all-wheel-drive system. Peak output should eclipse the 360 horsepower of the previous model—we think it will be up around 400 horses.
With this 2017 Audi TT RS Roadster engine, car attains speed from 0-62 mph speed from the start in 3.7 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than that of the earlier model. The new vehicle also gets the maximum velocity of 174 mph. The powerplant will be mated to the only available seven-velocity, double-clutch S-Tronic gearbox and the vehicle will be offered with the Quattro all-wheel drive configuration as standard.

Clark International Airport closure extended
The government has decided to extend the closure of Clark International Airport (CIA) due to the damage caused by the magnitude 6.1 earthquake that struck in Zambales late Monday afternoon.
Transport Secretary Arthur Tugade said this morning that the airport could be opened either tomorrow (April 24) or on Thursday.
"Based on the analysis and evaluation of our technical people, at the earliest we will operate tomorrow. At the latest, we will operate on Thursday," Tugade told reporters during an interview.
Because of this, Cebu Pacific has cancelled four more flights between Clark and Hong Kong today and tomorrow.
In a statement released this lunchtime, Cebu Pacific said the following flights scheduled for today were cancelled:
- 5J 120 Clark-Hong Kong
- 5J 121 Hong Kong-Clark
- 5J 609 Clark-Cebu
- 5J 608 Cebu-Clark
- 5J 370 Clark-Macau
For tomorrow, the following flights were also cancelled:
- 5J 371 Macau-Clark
- 5J 607 Clark-Cebu
- 5J 606 Cebu-Clark
- 5J 150 Clark-Hong Kong
- 5J 149 Hong Kong-Clark
- 5J 613 Clark-Bohol (Tagbilaran)
- 5J 614 Bohol (Tagbilaran)-Clark
- 5J 913 Clark-Caticlan (Boracay)
- 5J 914 Caticlan (Boracay)-Clark
- 5J 537 Clark-Singapore
- 5J 538 Singapore-Clark
- 5J 985 Clark-Davao
- 5J 986 Davao-Clark
The government yesterday announced that CIA would be closed for 24 hours after the magnitude 6.1 earthquake that struck in Zambales late yesterday afternoon.
This morning, the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) said it was eyeing the resumption of partial airport operations tomorrow (April 24) after an assessment showed that the tower, apron, runways and taxiways are structurally sound.
"The good news is that the tower can be operated, there was no substantial damage. Wala ring problema sa road surface ng airports," CIAC President Jaime Melo said in a press briefing.
Melo said passengers who were stranded because of strong quake will be prioritized once the partial operations resume.
CIAC will be giving another update later today. The clearing operations and repairs inside the departure area and terminal building are already ongoing.
Power has also been fully restored in Clark as of 10:30 p.m. Monday. All roads and bridges have also been assessed and cleared.
The Clark Development Corporation (CDC) has designated temporary shelters for travelers and tourists who were affected by the temporary closure of the Clark International Airport.
These include the Training Center at HSD, the pavilion at Bicentennial Park, the Philippine Air Force Gym, and the Clark Parade Grounds. Provisions of water and food are also being provided in these shelters.
Passengers on the cancelled Cebu pacific flights may rebook their flights for travel within 30 days from original departure date, free of charge; get a full refund; place the full cost of the ticket in a Travel Fund; re-route to or from Manila for travel within 30 days, subject to availability of seats.
Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) General Manager Ed Monreal warned airline companies not to take advantage of yesterday's earthquake to arbitrarily delay or cancel flights.
This warning came after reports of a domestic carrier cancelling outbound and inbound Manila flights.
MIAA yesterday issued a press statement stating no damage to NAIA runway and taxiway facilities as well as no reported concerns on its terminal buildings after immediate inspections conducted by various MIAA teams.
Monreal reminded airlines not to burden passengers with the inconvenience that may result to disruption of passengers' travel plans.
Monreal directed his operations team to admit flights that cannot be accommodated in Clark. He urged airlines to ensure availability of shuttle buses to ferry passengers from Manila to Clark.
Monreal assured passengers using the Ninoy Aquino International Airport that it was business as usual and that there should be no cause for alarm.

Paris' fury over 'vacant' jibe
Socialite threatens legal action over mocking advert
PARIS HILTON has threatened legal action against a New Zealand company for plastering her face across a billboard with the word "vacant" stamped across it.
The reality TV star was left fuming when she discovered bosses at Media5 had used her image to advertise billboard space in Wellington.
Hilton's manager, Jamie Freed, claims the company doesn't have permission to use the picture and insists the star plans to settle the matter in court
Spokesperson for Media5, Adam McGregor, says, "(The poster is just) a bit of fun. Paris has a proven ability to laugh at herself. We assume that the agency has taken care of the rights to the image of Paris, but we will ask the question. We're not trying to offend anyone."

Internet and Cybersecurity Attorney | Protecting You Against Social Media Crime #OwnYourData
Do you remember watching The Jetson's on television growing up? I know when I first saw it, the concept of flying cars and even self-automated technology was so far-fetched and beyond the capabilities of the technology then available, that it was the futuristic animated show of its time.
But, here we are today in the 21st century where we have conferences like the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) where companies from all over the world fly to Las Vegas and debut their new technological innovations to the world.
Over the past few years, the questions surrounding Google and Tesla's self-driving cars have presented a number of questions to the general public. But, the most prevalent question is whether or not with the technology that exists today, are we able to implement it, and if so, whether we are ready for it?
Live from CES 2019 in Las Vegas, I spoke with tech futurist and Editor-In-Chief of Digital Trends, Jeremy Kaplan about our future with smart car technology. Kaplan's panel last week, "Vehicle Tech's Next Big Thing" was a huge hit, so I wanted to follow-up with him about his key take-aways from the lively discussion. Kaplan appears regularly on television and radio on networks like Fox Business, BBC, CNN, and NPR.
#1 — The Technology Exists and It's Here to Stay
I was curious how often the tech futurist gets asked about self-driving cars, and as predicted, he's definitely no stranger to the question.
The reality of self-driving cars, according to Kaplan, is that the technology does exist today:
"We could do it right now. Here at CES, you can walk around the exhibitor booths and see that the technology is perfectly fine. That's why Tesla has self-driving cars that can effectively drive themselves."
But, with all technology there are of course barriers to entry and/or limits to its full utilization.
The panel, according to Kaplan, "recognized that the biggest challenge we face with self-driving cars is government regulations and states, and the fact that there is an entire fleet of cars that don't self-drive."
#2 — What Does "Personalization" Mean For Vehicles?
Today, when you go to purchase or lease a vehicle, you have some means in which to customize or personalize the car. Whether you are choosing a particular package, the type of trim, or even the interior interface of the vehicle, you feel as if you are molding the car to your tastes.
Yet, in my discussion with the Digital Trends EIC, this really isn't "personalization" as it is defined in our digital age.
"While you do personalize your vehicle to some extent, the reality is that this isn't personalization at all," Kaplan explained.
One of the panelists, an executive at Hitachi, walked the rest of the panel through some of the advanced concepts they are currently working through in their labs, specifically pertaining to personalization.
"Given a world where there are biometric systems built into cars — fingerprint systems and video cameras for digital authentication, technicians can pretty accurately identify who is behind the wheel driving that car. And, all of a sudden, you have your entire identity in that car, which presents numerous ramifications.
#3 — Welcome to the Dark Side
No, we aren't entering into George Lucas' world of Star Wars, but even Lucas was far ahead of his time when he first created the concept of lightsabers, planes, and other space war technology.
With TV shows like Netflix's Black Mirror that expose the realistic dark side of technology in various futuristic societies, there's no doubt people today should at least be aware of how dependent they've become on the technology they use on the regular.
Convenience Trumps Privacy
As I tell my law students, colleagues, and other innovators in the space, when it comes to technology, convenience will always trump privacy. Consumers don't fully realize how quickly they are willing to give up their own privacy rights in exchange for a better functioning and more efficient device.
In our discussion, Kaplan agreed that privacy is a fluid concept, and history has shown that. In emergency incidents like Hurricane Katrina or the most recent California wildfires, people are as transparent as water, letting the world know exactly where they are and how to contact them for assistance.
Riding the Elevator to Smart Tech
While our society is headed down a futuristic path towards "smarter" living, I was curious on whether we are actually prepared to accept it, including the consequences.
Kaplan's response was both thought-provoking and enlightening:
"Fun fact for you — when push button elevators came into the market, people were terrified of it," he told me.
"In fact, people wouldn't get into elevators at all, because there wasn't a push button operator opening the door for you. The companies that made elevators took out full page advertisements to convince people they could get on them safely and walk out in one piece."
And, according to the tech expert, I'm not the only one with this mindset.
"CES is always about this duality between the television set you can buy today and the futuristic technology you can buy fifteen years from now. That's why we have these concept cars here, brand new nice 4K TV's in the market in May. Especially with some of that far reaching futuristic tech, there is this dilemma of what's it going to take to convince people."
Safety Is The New Key to Survival
As Kaplan and I had our own time to explore some of the exhibition booths, one thing was clear — each company has implemented some type of new safety measures and/or mechanisms to help ensure its survival.
"A lot of car tech, especially over the last three years, has been all about safety — lane keeping, blind spot monitors, and other alerts. Which is why consumers have been actively pursuing it."
Roads, Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads
So, where did the panel end on my initial question of whether we are prepared to accept the reality of the technology as if it is here?
"Technology is terrifying. Are we ready for personalization on that scale? I don't think so. And, we asked the panelists that. But, I think they were all willing to admit that the tech industry needs to do something."

Came across a very interesting article today that attempts to prove mathematically how Snapchat could be worth $3 billion or more. Basically, the author uses recent survey data and comments by Snapchat's CEO to deduce current users are at roughly 36 million globally, with 26 million being in the US. He then makes a case for the lifetime value of each user at $100 (similar to Twitter and Facebook user values). That puts the estimated value of the company between $3.5 to $4 billion. Of course, Snapchat doesn't have a business model to speak of, but its user base is sure to keep growing. Given the metrics, I believe that makes an IPO much more likely than a buyout. It will be interesting to see if the vanishing nature of Snapchat user inputs make users more likely to spend money, as the author suggests. (VIEW LINK)

Perhaps a compelling reason why Snapchat (and others) should consider IPOs sooner rather than later.

I think one of the differences is that people are addicted to mobile/social communication. Yes the valuations are pie in the sky and mind boggling but if I look forward 5 years I expect more people will still be using phones and social media. The commercial outcome is not about the particular social media but about engaging with and accessing the audience.

I had, like any other young novelist, started out by believing the difficult thing was to get published and that, once you managed that, well, your financial problems were over. I discovered, like any other serious novelist, that actually they had only just begun. A novel may take anywhere from two to five years to write and, in the end, you might manage a couple of thousand dollars on it, no more. In London, where I met many established novelists, I found that almost all of them, even the most celebrated, had something going for them on the side. Some were at the universities, others were reviewers or worked as advisers to publishing houses, and still more functioned as radio, television, or film script writers.
I can say, truthfully, that I started out at the bottom in the film business. Several times, when I was broke in the south of France, I worked as an extra. Broke again, this time in London, I got work as a reader for a studio script department.
For two pounds — about $5.50 — a reader is expected to write a ten-page synopsis of a book followed by a shrewd evaluation of the book as a film. It's hard work. Underpaid, too. But in every reader's mind there is the legendary tale of the man who recommended a book that was actually purchased by the studio for five thousand pounds. The grateful author, the story goes, sought out the reader and tipped him ten pounds. So, even in this lowly job, there was hope. And experts, I discovered, could manage to skim through and report on as many as four books a day. I never got to be an expert. My career was too short-lived. One day a script editor handed me a book for which, she said, I would be paid a double fee. It was Bertolt Brecht's play, Mother Courage. "The play's only sixty pages," I said. "Why can't the producer read it himself?"
I did not yet know that it was no more expected of most producers to read a book than it was, say, of Ted Williams to dust off home plate. And so, embarrassed but needy, I took the play home, wrote a synopsis, and mailed it off. The next morning the script editor phoned me, horrified. "But you haven't said whether or not it would make a good film," she said.
The late Bertolt Brecht, as you know, is considered to be one of the outstanding playwrights of our time. I felt foolish, but all the same, I wrote a report on the play's film possibilities. "Very visual stuff," I said. "Goodish battle scenes. Strong suspense-wise. Calls for a big budget, I think, but potentially boffo." And that, I'm afraid, ended my career as a reader. I was, at the time, living in a room in Hampstead. Rent was a problem. Once a week my landlord, an elderly Austrian, would knock on the door and say, "Sorry to derange you, but today is Friday." The Acrobats, my first novel, came out in German, and the publisher thoughtfully sent me six free copies. I tried to sell them to a German bookstore, but the lady wouldn't have them. "This book has already appeared in English," she said. "It isn't very good."
Some Even Made Money
I began to review books for the literary magazines. The pay was slight. But, like all reviewers, I sold my free review copies for half price to a bookstore on Fleet Street. The most envied of reviewers was the man who got to do the art, that is, the most expensively priced, books, but I never rose that high in the game.
Meanwhile, the Canadians had started to come over. Writers, directors, and actors. These writers, unlike any I had known before, actually made money. I was dazzled. I also got to write my first television script. I worked with a Canadian who had written many scripts and knew the medium well. The script, our collaboration, was to be what he called a piece of cheese, that is, a commercial job. We were writing it under a pseudonym. I sat at the typewriter and he paced up and down, dictating, gesticulating, thinking aloud, and acting out all the parts. Finally, after many hours of work, he turned to me, exhausted, and said, "Help me. Give me a line."
So I gave him a line of dialogue.
"Are you crazy?" he said. "That's real. This is television."
The next job I got was to write a pilot script for a half-hour television series. I was introduced to the producer as a vastly experienced script writer —a hotshot. He gave me a two-page character analysis of the lead character for the series—tough, fearless, handsome—and I went to work. The script I wrote was about smuggling in Spain. A few days after I had handed it in I was summoned to the producer's office. "You call this a script?" he said. "What's this here? Two guys talking. Talking! Yak-yak-yak for two whole pages. And look here, three pages. Two guys talking. Where's the action? They told me you were a good action writer."
I took the script back, bought a book with three screenplays in it, and set to work again. I made absolutely no plot or dialogue changes, but, whereas a piece of my first draft script was likely to read:
CARLOS: Things are very quiet out here tonight. I do not like it, Nick.
NICK: I was just wondering . . .
CARLOS: Si, she is very beautiful. Like a Grecian statue. But she is dangerous, Nick.
NICK: I like 'em dangerous.
I copied a number of film terms out of the book I had bought, and the "new" script read:
CARLOS: Things are very quiet here tonight.
CARLOS: I do not like it, Nick.
NICK: (WITH A FAR-OFF, WONDERING LOOK) I was just wondering . . .
CARLOS: Si, she is very beautiful. Like a Grecian statue, (A MEANINGFUL LOOK) But she is dangerous, Nick.
NICK: I like 'em dangerous.
"Now that's what I call a script," the producer said.
Vesuvius Had To Blow Up Twice
I had arrived. I began to go to the sort of parties where show-business people met and, at one of them, a script writer came up to me, and said, "How would you like to collaborate on a musical? I've got a producer and an advance. We have an absolutely free hand—except for one thing. Vesuvius has to blow up twice." "The volcano, you mean?"
"It's set in Italy, see. A big production."
I told him no, but a couple of friends of mine took him up on it. They wrote a script, the producer was delighted, and he told the writers that he had booked one of the biggest theatres in London for the production. Opening night was only five weeks off.
"But what about the music?" one of the writers asked. "There's still no music." "Not to worry. I own fourteen songs," the producer said. "Lovely songs." They were left over from other musicals. "You boys will fit them in nicely." Then, seeing that the writers looked a little disheartened, he pulled a telegram out of his pocket. "From Magnani," he said, his voice brimming with assurance.
Actually, the telegram was from Anna Magnani's agent. It said something like, IMPOSSIBLE STOP NO INTEREST LONDON PRODUCTION STOP.
"But she doesn't want to do it," one of the writers said.
"Yes, that's possible. But look who I'm dealing with!"
The musical was never produced, but I did get to collaborate with the original author on another project. We were hired to write two half-hour comedies, pilots for a projected series again, but this time for Peter Sellers. Sellers, at the time, had made only one feature-length film. The Ladykillers.
My first collaborator had taken me on as an act of kindness. He knew I needed the money. This one, an Englishman, wanted company. He was a would-be actor. He executed all the routines meant for Sellers. I learned to say, "Why, that's swell. A great gag," or, helping him off the floor, "Yes, I can see what you're getting at, but it really doesn't cut any mustard, does it?" I did the typing and brewed the tea. I also whistled with amazement when I was told inside stories about the private lives of the stars. But I never really satisfied my partner. The truth is he had wanted Reuben Ship to work with him. Ship, author of The Investigator, was an experienced Hollywood comedy writer. I wasn't. But at least I knew Ship. After a week's work my partner — nervous, upset — said to me, "Why don't you get your friend Reuben to read this script? See what he thinks."
I already knew what Ship thought. "He's very busy these days," I said.
My partner, not usually very quick with his liquor, poured me a drink. "Well, you know, he just might have a couple of ideas. He is your friend, isn't he?" Finally, we were called to a script conference. Present were Sellers, the director, the producer, two assistants, and my partner and I. We sat solemnly round an enormous table in a boardroom overlooking Hyde Park. Before each of us there was a pad, a pencil, and a glass of water. The producer, a shrunken little man with extremely thick glasses, told us, "Gentlemen, we are here to exchange ideas. To my right is our director. Need I say, a great talent."
Ten years ago, the director had made a costume film that showed more bosom than any other had before. This, in the trade, is known as a trendmaker. Anyway, the film earned lots of money, but the director had not made another one since.
"A talent that I have engaged, I might say, for a pretty penny."
"I consider this series a challenge," the director said. "A very great challenge." His hands were shaking badly. He twitched.
The rest of us were fulsomely introduced. "Now, about the script." The producer, squinting, held the script no more than two inches from his face. "Page twenty-nine, boys. I think we've slowed down here. We need a gimmick. Well, if you saw Love Happy with the Marx Brothers you will recall there was a great scene in that picture. Harpo is leaning against a wall. Groucho comes by and says, 'What are you doing, holding up the building?' Harpo nods. He moves away and the building collapses." Sellers was silent.
"Now, boys, ours is a small-budget film. What I think we could do on page twenty-nine is this. Instead of a building Mr. Sellers could be leaning against a lamp-post. When he moves away," the producer said, already beginning to break up with laughter, "the lamp-post falls down."
Sellers lit one cigarette off another.
"Page thirty-two, boys. Have you ever had the good fortune to see Mr. Danny Kaye, a great comedian, in Up in Arms?" To my astonishment, the two films were made and distributed. I never went to see them. I did, however, continue to attend show-business parties, and gradually I picked up the jargon peculiar to the trade. I learned, for instance, that a "property" is a script or material for a script, that is, a book or a play. Some properties are hot, others tend to need a little goosing. When a producer asks you to give one of his properties a little goosing it means he is not willing to pay much to have a bad script rewritten. The most desirable properties are those that are in the public domain—scripts that can be based on the works of writers long since dead, and therefore requiring no payment.
One producer once took me aside and said, "Goddam it, I've just been to a library. Have you ever been to a library? What a fantastic place! Hundreds and hundreds of books—thousands! Most of them in the public domain, and I don't know which one to pick up. It's a goddam gold mine, I tell you. Listen, you've got an education. Go to the goddam library and find me a property."
If somebody said, "Say, what about Michael Wilding for the lead in . . . ?", I knew enough, by this time, to reply, "Are you crazy? Why that guy couldn't even sell popcorn." Whenever a leading lady's name was mentioned—any leading lady's name — I came right back with, "But do you know how she got the part? I mean, do you realize what she had to do to get it?" Nobody, I found, ever took you up on it.
I began to get more television work and my standard of living improved accordingly. I did not open an account at Harrods—and still haven't, for that matter—but I no longer ate Walls Sausages nightly, and I moved out of a rented room into a flat. My landlord was an abstract painter. One day he stopped me abruptly in the hall and said, "Do you know where yesterday is?"
"No. I'm afraid not."
"Do you know where tomorrow is?" "Well, no."
"The old masters knew," he said. "Yesterday was over there," he said, turning his head sharply to the right, "and tomorrow is over here," he said, turning leftward. "You shouldn't write for the flicks. It's corrupting."
I began to think I was doing very well indeed. I was proud of my little flat at Swiss Cottage. By Canadian standards, it was a slum. I wasn't really aware of this until friends from home began to visit me there. One said, "Well, it's a struggle, isn't it?" Another, "Won't it be nice when you can afford carpets?" A third sent me a food parcel shortly after he returned home.
At first, I worked hard on my scripts. I took enormous pains to delineate characters clearly. Once, in fact, I took a full page to describe one major character's physical appearance, gestures, and habits, so that he was, I hoped, made individual beyond confusion. The producer read and reread the description. He chewed on his pencil. "Oh, I get it," he said. "You mean the Bogart type, don't you? Why didn't you just say so?"
Luckily, I put pseudonyms on all these scripts. When I got round to using my own name on television I had already formed a partnership, fortunate for me, with Ted Kotcheff, director, and Tim O'Brien, designer. We did three plays together for Armchair Theatre. Kotcheff and I also shared a flat. He instructed me further in the rules of the game. "Never hand in a script early," he said, "or the director will have you rewriting day and night, even if it's first rate. They're that nervous."
I had just begun to work on my second feature film, a rewrite job, and I soon found out what he meant. It was to be the director's first big film. He wasn't nervous. He was panic-stricken. I was originally hired because, as the director said, "The plot's OK, but everybody in the story is wooden. You've been recommended to us as a very good character man. We want you to put flesh and blood on these lumps." So I began to report every morning at nine-thirty with my portable typewriter. The director and I would work a two-page scene over and over again.
"Mn," he'd say, reading, nibbling on his nails. "Jolly good. Well, not bad .... but would he say that? Is it really in character for him at that moment? Do you get my point?"
All the man had said, usually, was, "Thank you, I'll have two lumps."
I'd look pensive. I never answered immediately. "I think you're on to something, you know. It is out of character. I think he'd say, 'Thanks,' not 'Thank you'." "But isn't that too Americany?" "Exactly. But that's the point. He's American-orientated."
"Really? How interesting you should say that. Is that how you see him?" "Indeed I do."
"Mn. Maybe. But I think he's the sort who'd only take one lump with his tea." "Well, I'm not sure. Maybe. I'll yield on that."
"No, you mustn't. I don't want you to give in because I'm the director. Fight me. You're the writer. If you see the character differently you must always insist on it."
Finally, after many hours of work, he'd say, "This scene is perfect now. Absolutely first class. Nobody could improve on it." '
But the next morning the director would be pale. "My wife's sister-in-law was reading the scene in the bath last night and she hated it." We'd sit down and rewrite it again. "Superb," he'd say. The next day he'd look out of sorts again. "You share a flat with Kotcheff, don't you? Why don't you show it to him and see what he thinks?"
Resentful, but a loyal employee, I gave the script to Kotcheff. He read it; "All I can say." he said, "is I hope you're getting paid plenty for this. Wow!"
I was getting paid plenty, on a week-to-week basis, but the director often kept me a whole day without doing any writing. He'd take out a copy of Spotlight, a book with photographs of almost every actor and actress in the country, and ask my opinion on casting. My opinion, when you figured it at a day's pay, was very expensive.
"What would you think of John Mills?"
"He's all right."
"What do you mean 'all right'? Are you holding something back? Do you know something?"
I swore I didn't.
"What about . . . Jack Hawkins?"
"If you don't like him, tell me. This is very important."
I had to begin with, considered the film business to be characterized by lavish spending, but once a star was cast for the film I learned differently. One afternoon, when the director and I should have been putting final touches to the script, the star turned up. It was John Gregson. He was carrying eight, maybe nine, suits over his arm, and he stayed for hours. One of the major problems was that in one scene in the film Gregson flings himself from a speeding car as it passes over a bridge. He gets soaked, naturally, and therefore he would need to ruin one otherwise good suit. He preferred—and so did the director, budgetwise—to ruin an old one. Gregson began to try on suits while the director watched, absorbed, and I, realizing we were not going to get any work done again, reached for the gin.
"Don't you think." Gregson asked, "this one would suit me fine for the scene where she faints?"
"Mn." The director pulled at his lower lip. "Isn't it a little youngish for the scene?" He turned to me. "What do you think?"
"I think he looks very sweet."
Gregson told me how much he liked the script. "I consider this picture a challenge," he said.
I poured myself another gin and offered to lend Gregson my one prized Jacques Fath tie. The director, I sensed, felt we were a happy unit.
Though I was still without a screen credit, the last time out of choice. I had now worked on rewrites for two feature films, and then one day as. I suppose, it comes to pass in the life of any clean living relief pitcher, I was offered a starting assignment. Sydney Box phoned my agent and asked if I would read No Love for Johnnie. Wilfred Fienburgh considered to be one of the more promising Labor MPs, had written the novel, his first, and was killed shortly afterward in a car accident. The book was a loosely motivated but realistic piece about an opportunist, a Labor MP in parliament. Sydney Box and I met, I was passed on to the producer who would be directly responsible for the picture, David Deutsch, and I was hired to write the screenplay. At the time there was a possibility that Jack Clayton, who had just made Room at the Top, would direct this film as well. But, as things turned out, I had been working on the script for only two weeks when everything changed. Sydney Box had a heart attack and went into temporary retirement, David Deutsch moved to another studio, and Jack Clayton signed to direct a different film. The project was taken over by Betty Box, producer, and Ralph Thomas, director.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of working on No Love for Johnnie was that it gave me an entrée to British politics. All sorts of things were laid on for me. I was taken to lunch by a man from Rank who was the fixer. A former parliamentary private secretary himself, he could, I was told, arrange interviews for me with anybody. Anyway, the fixer got me a pass to the distinguished strangers' gallery and for several days running I attended sessions at the House. At private question time an ancient lady rose anxiously, the hand that held the notes trembling, and asked if a Ministry of Food pamphlet about the uses of bacon could not have been issued with a hard cover rather than a soft as a greater convenience to the hard-working housewives of Great Britain. This, I was told, was the first time she had been heard from in years. And so it went until the late Nye Bevan walked into the chamber; both front benches filled, and all private conversations stopped. Bevan had only a mild query to put to the minister, but there was no doubt that we were in the presence of political greatness. When he was done, once the threat of eloquence had passed, the benches thinned again.
I turned in my script for No Love for Johnnie, bought a small car, and prepared to drive down to Rome for the winter. A week before I left I found out, through another writer, that the first film script I had ever written, the one about smuggling in Spain, had never been produced. On the contrary, it was being used as a model for writers on how not to write for the series. A day before I was to leave a producer phoned me. "I've heard so much about you," he said. "You must come to my office this minute. I have a property here that is a property. It only needs a little work."
I explained that I had just completed a film and that I was going away to work on a novel.
"It's an anti-war script," he said. "I'm sure you'd want to see it done."
"There's somebody at the door," I said. "I have to go."
"If you don't want to do it," he said, "it's only because you're a warmonger."
A few days later in Paris I went to some of the four-star restaurants I hadn't been able to afford when I had lived there before. At that time, my problem — the primary concern, in fact, of most of the writers I knew — had been money and a place to sleep. Now I paid income tax, just like a regular citizen. I sought out the cafés where I used to meet my friends, but I did not see a familiar face in any of them. It was good not to be broke, very good, but I also felt a little sad. I could recognize the new arrivals, the young writers and painters I didn't know, by the dufflecoats, the beards, and the blue jeans. They looked at me a little dubiously. Like I was a tourist.

Can Medical Cannabis save the Channel Islands?
There are deficits, big holes, and the question is, how can the Channel Islands fill them? The solutions are not pretty – voluntary redundancies, compulsory redundancies, new taxes, public sector cuts. Simply put, the archipelago needs more tax revenue and less public spending. Prohibition Partners examines why The Channel Islands is making a smart move with medicinal cannabis plans

Theft Prevention Tips
"Victims of burglary offenses suffered an estimated $4 billion annually; overall, the average dollar loss per burglary offense was $2,096." –FBI.gov
Preventing Burglary
- Use solid core or metal clad entrance doors.
- Lock your sliding glass door
- Keep your porch well lit
- Be able to see visitors before you open your door. If you don't know who they are, don't let them in.
- If you are going on vacation, don't tell everyone on Facebook that you will not be at your house for a week.
How your insurance policy protects
Your insurance policy will probably cover theft depending on how much your deductible is. If you don't know if you are covered for theft, contact your insurance agent and ask. If you are currently looking for insurance why not buy from a local insurance agent. Affordable American Insurance has over 45 agents across Colorado; there is probably one that works close to where you live. Just follow this link to find one: https://affordableamericaninsurance.com/find-an-agent/

One of the 6th Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival's Official Selection, THE WHALE is directed by Suzanne Chisholm and Michael Parfit. Narrated by Ryan Reynolds.
THE WHALE tells the true story of a young, wild killer whale – an orca – nicknamed Luna, who lost contact with his family on the coast of British Columbia and turned up alone in a narrow stretch of sea between mountains, a place called Nootka Sound. Orcas are social. They live with their families all their lives. An orca who gets separated usually just fades away and dies.
Luna was alone, but he didn't fade away. There weren't any familiar orcas in Nootka Sound, but there were people, in boats and on the shore. So he started trying to make contact. And people welcomed him. Most of them.
This contact did not turn out to be simple. It was as if we humans weren't ready for him.
Inspired by myths, we look into the sky, not the depths, for others who might think and dream like us. We train radio telescopes on the stars, and listen for code in the static of space. But maybe we're looking in the wrong place. So far, space just crackles, but the sea whistles back. And, in Nootka Sound, it sent us an open-hearted child.
This story is about what happened then

"The Guyana Police Force states that in relation to the incident referred to Mr. Shivnarine Chanderpaul had stated an intended address that does not exist in Guyana on his embarkation card which was submitted to the Immigration Officer at the CJIA (Cheddi Jagan International Airport )," the law enforcement agency said in a statement.
However, he has been quoted by the privately-owned Guyana Times newspaper that on arriving in Guyana, the immigration officer asked if he was Guyanese and where was Unity, his home village.
Chanderpaul, who was returning from New York, recalled asking the immigration officer if she was Guyanese.
Despite the presence of several huge posters of the cricketer around the immigration area, he said the immigration officer did not recognise him.
The Police Force, however, added that "The ensuing engagement between the Immigration Officer and Mr. Shivnarine Chanderpaul was solely in relation to the intended address given."

MOSCOW (AFP) – A Russian court on Monday handed down long jail sentences to three men who stabbed and kicked a man they believed to be gay and then set him on fire.
The men, all from the same village in the region of Kamchatka in far eastern Russia, committed the murder last May because they were "convinced of the non-traditional sexual orientation of their fellow villager", regional prosecutors said in a statement, using a euphemism for being gay.
"Taking into account the role of each, the court sentenced them to 121/2 years, 101/2 years and nine years in a strict-regime prison colony," prosecutors said.
The men "lured the man in his car to a deserted part of the forest. There, the eldest man stabbed the victim multiple times in the chest, face and neck, and two others kicked him". Finally they placed the 29-year-old victim in his car and set the vehicle alight using petrol, prosecutors said.[ST]

Beyond MEd (Beyond Medical Education), is organized by the Pedagogic Council of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon (FMUL), in association with the Department of Medical Education (DEM) and the Faculty of Medicine Students' Association (AEFML).
The essence of the event is to strive for a deeper and wider understanding of Medical Education in its entirety, broadening the horizons of our participantes (students, teachers, investigators and physicians), empowering them as proponents of change and free-thought in our faculty. As such, we find it extraordinarily important to present bold paradigms and novel perspectives, laid out by experts.
In this year's edition on October 23rd, 2019, 6th Beyond MEd, will focus on Educational Assessment.
Founded in 2014, Beyond MEd was first recognized as Dia da Pedagogia e Educação Médica, and was meant for the students of FMUL. By the 4th edition, the congress expanded, calling for a name change, Beyond MEd emerged.

The disk has to have it's files stem be created in GPT for booting in EFI to work. If the file system is still legacy DOS, then it probably will error out.
The Best Medicine > Magic. Because SCIENCE! can prove the former.
RAMChYLD Wrote:The disk has to have it's files stem be created in GPT for booting in EFI to work. If the file system is still legacy DOS, then it probably will error out.Interesting. My research was quick, and I assumed if the Kubuntu installer partitioner runs while booted in EFI mode, it would create them as GPT rather than DOS, even if done manually like I did. Perhaps I should have used GParted before installing Kubuntu as that program is more likely to partition the drive as GPT and make the EFI partition actually bootable.
In the end though, it's no big deal at present. I was just annoyed that the Installer ignored my bootloader choice which lead to what I described above. After the test is done, I can safely delete the "ubuntu" folder in Lilly's EFI partition and rEFInd will start automatically again and if I do choose to make Lilly's Win8 partition one for Linux, I would have to install under Legacy mode to prevent the EFI bootloader from getting re-installed.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
Here it is, the first test run of Kubuntu and Lilly. Oddly, Kubuntu lists her Core i5-2415m as four cores rather than two, but I read somewhere that programs sometimes list individual threads as cores. So I guess it's two cores with two threads each?
Anyway, Kubuntu runs great. It's not PCLinuxOS, but it is KDE and it can fit in with the others easily. If PCLinuxOS had a way of automatically installing the Broadcom firmware like Kubuntu does, then I would use that.
Anyway... off to run another full install test in Legacy mode.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
Hmm... I can't get any EFI LiveCD to boot in Legacy mode. I keep getting ISOLinux checksum errors even though the discs run fine in EFI mode.
I'm starting to rethink this. Maybe make Lilly the Media Mac and have Audrey be creative? Audrey is slower but that was under Windows 8. Perhaps Linux would help speed things up? I don't have to reinstall since PCLinuxOS already runs fine.
I can never keep a computer setup stable for at least two months it seems. I'm worried if I go with my plan to install Kubuntu on Lilly, Grub will take over the system and I won't be able to boot into either Windows or OSX again!
Guess I'll do the swap. It will probably change in another two months. >.<
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
I have been exploring the various video editors in Linux, namely LiVES, KDEnlive, and Flowblade. They are perfectly fine for basic videos, but for YouTube Poop, they are far too limited in their effects. LiVES couldn't open my DivX AVI files, and KDEnlive/Flowblade could change the clip speed or reverse, but it doesn't do the same with audio.
I also tried Cinelerra, which looks very promising, but as with LiVES, it can't open my DivX AVI files. I read that Cinelerra works best with uncompressed video files, and nearly all of my videos are DivX or some other compressed format.
My next bet is to just run my Adobe programs under a VM, but Vista won't do. Takes up too much RAM. Either Windows 2000 or XP. I have XP somewhere... I misplaced it. Audrey has AMD-V, and it might not be the best way to get things done, but in the end Adobe Premiere 2.0 will have to do until KDEnlive or Flowblade match up in terms of effects.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
RAMChYLD Wrote:Can't you just use AVIDemux to create uncompressed versions of the videos before using them?
Or Handbrake for that matter.
huckleberrypie Wrote::/RAMChYLD Wrote:Can't you just use AVIDemux to create uncompressed versions of the videos before using them?
I prefer to work with the videos how they are, and all previous editing software has provided me that convenience. If I were to uncompress several videos before making a YTP, it would take up loads of disk space because YTP uses multiple videos for content. Some of my more recent creations use around 10 to 15 separate source files alone and having to convert each one before editing sounds very cumbersome and would already add to the lengthy production process. Not to mention the high memory use each uncompressed file will end up using during render time.
KDEnlive is the most promising editor out of the lot. If they were just to add the ability to speed up/slow down/reverse clips with audio to match, then it would be perfect. At present, it only applies the effect to the video track.
Apologies if I appear stubborn, but I just want a way to edit videos using existing source material, and not having to resort to file conversions before each production. KDEnlive basically provides that but without advanced effects, it's no good for YTP.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
In the Task Manager, what do the numbers in the "Memory" column represents? Why do Chrome and Firefox, and probably other web browsers as well, have relatively high numbers in this column?
Blackberry Bun Wrote:Question:If I am not mistaken, those numbers are the amount of memory that the program is using, expressed in kilobytes. For example, if Firefox/Chrome use 600MB of RAM, the number would show up in the column as "600,000K". What I don't really know is if that is the amount of physical ram Firefox/Chrome are using or whether its the total amount of RAM usage between the physical RAM and the system page file.
I learned that using certain browser extensions like AdBlock can really inflate the memory usage of web browsers.
http://lifehacker.com/adblock-plus-once ... 1576341872
There is an extension called µBlock (pronounced MicroBlock, I think) that functions as an adblocker but also blocks other things too. And it's light on resources too. I have yet to use it myself, but others do recommend it.

Fine Art & Design as a Field
The ability to formulate the perfect balance of freedom and form is an art that has been admired since the beginning of time. Artists who have succeeded in finding such a balance have created influential works that have continued, to this day, to be thought of with esteem. The creation of such esteemed works has been accomplished by architects, painters, sculptors, photographers, graphic designers and others. Those artists have typically, and often times unwittingly, devoted their lives to capturing the expressions of the world in an art form most stimulating and palatable to the consumers of their expressions. Evidence of those expressions is sprinkled throughout the world in the forms of buildings, prints and other media and continues to draw the admiration and appreciation of society.

Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that emerge, usually during your late teens to early twenties. For some people the wisdom teeth emerge through the gums and have enough room to grow in naturally. For others, wisdom teeth often cause problems as they are trying to protrude through the gums. When a wisdom tooth is impacted the tooth is coming in at an angle and not straight through the gum line. This can cause pain, the tooth can come in unevenly, or the tooth may only emerge partially.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause structural damage to the jaw and other teeth. They can also provide a place for bacteria to gather since they are hard to reach and clean. These potential problems make it necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth so that larger problems do not arise. Routine x-rays during a dental exam can reveal if you will need to have your wisdom teeth removed.

Since I had I finished up the last 3 "easy", all-over pattern customer quilts, I had to move onto a custom quilting job. It was not a major, over-the-top custom quilt, more like low-key custom. I find that deciding what to do in the first place takes a while then it is just a matter of getting on with it. The pattern is a Lynette Anderson seagull pattern but the gulls are not like great big "skerries" that steal sandwiches in Aberdeen – they are more petite and because of their colour sometimes reminded me of pigeons, except for the webbed feet.
Somehow, the cartoon adventures of Dastardly and Mutley come to mind when they repeatedly attempt and fail to catch the secret-agent pigeon that carries messages. I sympathise with their efforts. Despite making good progress with Nella eating just a little more, we were told that her health parameters remain poor and the weight loss is continuing. It was a hard week for both of us as I had to increase all of her intake in a last ditch attempt to avoid hospital admission. She felt very low as it feels like things will never get back to normal. Every meal and snack almost rolls into one and I am very aware that she is not taking in enough calories in her restricted vegan diet for her health to improve. She has become really bored with not going to school and finds it hard to find any joy in life.
In an attempt at another easy craft activity we have started a scrappy rag-rug which has got off to a promising start but will take ages to complete. However, we felt very pleased with ourselves when we managed to make a pair of pyjama trousers without making any boo-boos!
Against all the odds, Bumble is still just about in the land of the living. She is not eating much, sleeping most of the time but not complaining so has been keeping me company for a bit longer than I had expected.
Happier news was that I was informed that a member of the QGBI, London Region, Jaclyn Horton, had award me an alternative prize at FOQ – "I Want That Fabric!" I was particularly thrilled because the fabric she meant was the Warli figure fabric that I designed and screen-printed for "So Many People". The write-up that she gave the quilt was really complimentary which made me feel proud of my work:)
