Kanye West on Feb. 9, 2020, in Beverly Hills, Calif.by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock
Kanye West's Swastika Tweet Forces Elon Musk to Finally Do Some Moderating
The new Twitter CEO announced that the antisemitic rapper's account would be suspended for violating the company's policies on inciting violence.
Shortly after tweeting an image of a swastika inside the Star of David and hours after going on a pro-Hitler tirade, Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, was suspended from Twitter Friday. Twitter CEO Elon Musk confirmed as much early Friday morning, less than a few weeks after Twitter reversed an October restriction on his account that came in response to a separate antisemitic tweet.
Thursday's tweet was deleted before West's account page became inaccessible. Prior to West's suspension, he also posted an unflattering image of Musk in a bathing suit, writing, "Let's always remember this as my final tweet," to which Musk responded, "That is fine. This is not," referring to the swastika tweet. West then took his grievances to Truth Social, former President Donald Trump's social media platform, where he shared an apparent text-message exchange between him and Musk, per the Guardian. "Sorry, but you have gone too far. This is not love," Musk wrote. "Who made you the judge," West replied.
The spectacular downfall of one of the most influential rappers in the world is coinciding with another spectacle: Musk's takeover of Twitter, which has forced the Tesla CEO—a self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist"—to become a de facto moderator. To say that Musk has been resistant to this aspect of his new role is an understatement, given that he's granted "general amnesty" to previously suspended accounts (including Trump); ended Twitter's policy against COVID misinformation; and dismantled the company's trust and safety teams amid mass layoffs. But West's latest pro-Nazi antics were apparently beyond the pale for Musk, raising questions around how the Tesla CEO will crack down on antisemitism going forward.
West's comments also underscore the ongoing confusion around Twitter's new content moderation policies, such as those related to impersonation and hate speech. Many commentators have argued that Musk has failed to consistently enforce these policies, as seemingly evidenced by Thursday's incident:
West's suspension comes on the heels of his horrifyingly antisemitic outburst on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's InfoWars show, during which even Jones—who Friday morning filed for bankruptcy because he owes nearly $1.5 billion in damages caused by his lies about the Sandy Hook massacre—seemed uncomfortable with West's comments. "There's a lot of things that I love about Hitler," West said during his appearance, claiming the Holocaust never happened. Also on Thursday, Parler, the right-wing social media platform, announced that West's deal to acquire the company fell apart in mid-November. While the rapper's antisemitic rhetoric has earned him scores of critics over the past several months, he was still greeted with a warm embrace in Mar-a-Lago last week, where the former president hosted West, as well as white supremacist Nick Fuentes, for dinner shortly after announcing his 2024 presidential bid.

New Cybersecurity Curriculum from SAE International Teaches Middle School Students Components of Securing Data and Systems
SAE International announces the launch of "Cybersecurity: Keeping Our Network Secure" Challenge, a new program in its award-winning A World In Motion® (AWIM)curriculum. The challenge was released in January of 2018 within General Motors (GM) classrooms and will expand its reach to additional communities during the 2018-2019 school year.
Made possible through a grant by GM, the Cybersecurity Challenge deepens students' understanding of the architecture of the internet and how it was designed to withstand both physical and electronic attacks.
"Every new advance and innovation in technology comes with the opportunity to benefit of society, but so often the threat of malicious misuses," David L. Schutt, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of SAE International, said. "SAE is committed to helping improve society and as a part of that is educating students on the secure use of today's advancing and ever-evolving technologies. The entire nation is relying on cybersecurity education to secure our precious infrastructure and to protect our privacy. This education starts with the youngest learners and is possible through the support of our industry partners, like GM."
In the first of many planned curricula in the AWIM Information Technology (IT) and Cybersecurity curriculum project, the Cybersecurity: Keeping Our Networks Secure Challenge, students explore several physical models that simulate the movement of information through the internet; identify problems with each model, and test different enhancements to help make the network operate better and faster. Students investigate the two basic components of securing data and systems: encryption (changing information from one form to another, especially to hide its meaning), and authentication (proof that something is real, true, or genuine). After learning about these important attributes of cybersecurity while exploring network security regarding self-driving cars from a fictional car company, Jupiter Motors, students work in teams to create marketing materials to help the target audience feel more comfortable and confident about Internet security.
Curriculum for the Cybersecurity Challenge was developed in conjunction with Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), a global nonprofit organization that develops, delivers and evaluates programs designed to address challenges in education, health and economic development.
To learn more about the IT and Cybersecurity AWIM curriculum project, please contact the SAE Foundation at foundation@sae.org.
AWIM is a teacher-administered, industry volunteer-assisted program that brings science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to life in the classroom for students in Kindergarten through Grade 8. AWIM provides high-quality, hands-on STEM programming that aligns with educational standards and teaches students not only critical STEM skills, but also how to work in teams and how to present and defend their ideas. Students who use the AWIM curriculum gain the skills needed to succeed in real-world work environments.

Healthcare's Thought Leaders Offer their HIMSS19 Takeaways
The cornucopia that is the annual HIMSS conference and tradeshow – healthcare technology's biggest event – is behind us, but what's left in the wake is wonderful, inspiring even, if not a bit overwhelming. The reactions to this year's event have been overwhelmingly positive. Interoperability in the form of data sharing and a ban on patient health information blocking by CMS (through proposed rules released the first day of HIMSS) set the tone.
This was followed by CMS administrator Seema Verma taking a strong tone in all of her presentations at HIMSS, with the media and during her keynote speech. The federal body made it clear that data generated from patient care is, unequivocally, their data. While these themes heavily influenced the show, there were other takeaways.
My personal takeaway from HIMSS is "mind the gap."
There are many other diverse opinions about what came out at HIMSS19 and the themes that will affect healthcare in the year ahead. For some additional perspective, I turned to healthcare's thought leaders; people who are a lot smarter than I. Their responses follow. That said, did we miss anything in the following?
Dr. Geeta Nayyar, Femwell Group Health and TopLine MD
After spending a week surrounded by some of the most intellectual and innovative minds globally in healthcare at HIMSS19, I'm even more confident that the shift toward patient engagement mass adoption is well underway and ON FHIR. The new CMS/ONC proposed law around interoperability and penalties for "information blocking," are both touchdowns for the quarterback, which remains to be patient engagement. The robust discussions during the pre-conference HIMSS patient engagement program, reflected a move to a consumer-centric approach evidenced by the presence of Amazon, Google and Microsoft at the show. The keynote by Premier's CEO Susan Devore shared a consumer-centered, provider led vision, "with data flowing seamlessly and being analyzed and effectively leveraged to guide decision making at the point of care." Collaboration in healthcare is the key to everyone's success. I was inspired to see her and so many women coming together to support each other in HIT, as Dr. Mom remains the healthcare decision maker in the households, we are all ultimately trying to reach.
Andrew Schall, Modernizing Medicine
Physician burnout continues to be a hot topic coming out of HIMSS19 and many feel that EHR platforms may be a part of the burnout epidemic. There were several sessions that focused on user-centered design at HIMSS this year including one that focused on the iterative approach to software development and user experience. First, I think that the industry is recognizing that one-size-fits doesn't work for EHRs. Additionally, I believe that improvements will come in large part from the greater involvement of practicing physicians in designing specialty-specific EHR workflows and interfaces. A combination of powerful technology like AI and augmented intelligence, as well as well-designed EHR solutions with an intuitive user interface and user experience, will help ease the physician burden and automate time-consuming and administrative tasks like coding and billing – ultimately reducing burnout.
Shane Whitlatch, FairWarning
HIMSS 2019 showcased the ongoing digital transformation to make healthcare responsive to patients across a continuum of care. Enabling patients to be able to access, use and own their personal health data, while ensuring privacy and security was the central takeaway of this year's HIMSS. Notable, critical moves to support this goal included: the Department of Health and Human Services announced proposed rules to enhance interoperability and data access with payor data; ongoing security and privacy efforts to ensure appropriate patient access to their data while mitigating emerging risks from items including medical devices to nation-state attackers; and artificial intelligence and machine learning initiatives to effectively manage the tsunami of data in healthcare while promoting optimal healthcare.
Tripp Peake, LRVHealth
The best part of HIMSS this year was we seemed to get away from a single buzzword. Healthcare is hard, there's no silver bullet. The Precision Medicine Summit got into the weeds about how to really roll out a program in a provider system. The AI companies stopped talking about AI for AI sake and were more focused on ROI. Everyone seemed more balanced about VBC: yes, inevitable, but also gradual. Consumerism was probably as close to a central theme as existed. And I continue to be excited about the energy, creativity, and commitment of the entrepreneurs in this market.
Don Woodlock, InterSystems
Anytime you bring 43,000 healthcare professionals together in one location, you will never have a shortage of opinions on the future of the industry. We are at the cusp of a revolution in healthcare, driven by technological advancements. Some key trends we saw at HIMSS19 were, no surprise, around artificial intelligence, where people are trying to enhance predictive risk scoring and improve patient engagement. Additionally, there were profound announcements around mandating application programming interface (APIs) to improve the flow of healthcare data across the ecosystem. As interoperability becomes liquid, it will become the critical component of every healthcare system, driving the industry to new heights.
Paddy Padmanabhan, Damo Consulting
On day one of the conference, the HHS sucked the oxygen out of the room by dropping a proposed 800-page rule on data and interoperability. The rule aims to aggressively expand interoperability by making it mandatory for providers and health plans participating in government programs such as Medicare Advantage, CHIP and others to make patient data available to patients as a condition for business. CMS head Seema Verma and ONC Chief Don Rucker drove the message home repeatedly during the conference. Indeed, Seema Verma declared it an epic misunderstanding that patient data can belong to anyone other than the patient. A somewhat sobering counterpoint was voiced by Epic Systems CEO Judy Faulkner in a media interview where she suggested that interoperability challenges go well beyond data sharing by EHR vendors. Regardless of where it may fall, interoperability will continue to dominate healthcare IT agenda for some time to come. Related issues around new and emerging data sources, especially social determinants of health, will gain prominence in the coming months.
Erin Benson, LexisNexis Health Care
The proposed rule on interoperability of health information influenced most conversations at HIMSS. In the context of cybersecurity, the rule served as a reminder that it's just as important to let "good guys" in quickly and seamlessly as it is to prevent unauthorized access. We want to enable value-based care and give patients the ability to manage their own health by having access to their records. We also want to keep costs low and efficiency high by enabling interoperability and giving partners, vendors and employees necessary access to systems. Therefore, a cybersecurity strategy needs to strike a balance between user engagement and data security.
Mike Morgan, Updox
The power of consumerism is really impacting healthcare and the need for patient engagement is alive and well. Providers across the board must look at new technologies and ways to redefine patient engagement to better communicate with patients and partners but do it via channels that are easy for staff and customers to use. New applications, such as telehealth and secure text messaging, have changed how healthcare communicates and consumers are demanding that immediate, convenient engagement.
Vince Vickers, KPMG
HIMSS19 seemed to have the most decision makers at the conference in five-plus years when a lot of healthcare organizations were still looking at implementing electronic health records. We might be ready for another wave of healthcare IT investment after healthcare organizations digested those investments made in electronic health records. The key is now around optimizing EHRs – interoperability, improving ease of use, enhancing analytics — or dedicating resources to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to make themselves more efficient in the back office. We're also seeing healthcare organizations position themselves to be more consumer-oriented, partly to address new entries from some of the tech companies, such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and a multitude of others, that wanted to make a big splash at HIMSS.

Under this fast-track project, by mid-May 2020, the product will be ready for market, post design, development and testing of prototypes at multiple centres.
"Covid-19 has created a pandemic and has affected the entire ecosystem. While the research work on diagnosis and cure are being done, the immediate need is ensuring affordable and low-cost life saving devices. At ICICI Securities, healthcare is one important area that we focus on CSR. We are happy to partner with IIT Kanpur, as part of our CSR initiative, in the R&D and testing of prototypes of indigenized, portable affordable and invasive ventilators. The project team has some of the brightest technical minds and they have set for themselves a very tight deadline so that the nation at large is benefitted. We are hopeful that the project meets the expectations of price and functionality," said Mr. Vijay Chandok, MD & CEO, ICICI Securities.
"At IIT Kanpur, we are doing our bit towards global efforts on fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. We learnt that ventilators will be in short supply as the number of affected patients rise and our team rose to the challenge by taking on themselves the responsibility to design ground-up an affordable yet fully functional ventilator. We are happy to partner with ICICI Securities as a Technology Development Partner to bring this project to light," said Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director of IIT Kanpur.

Back in mid 2018 I went to a meetup with some SoCal Oppos (WrongWheelDrive/Spambot2002). Took the film camera out and got some shots. I like the way they turned out!
Also, I went to Seattle, San Diego, and Seaside Florida too.


When I got these Charlotte Russe camo pants, I knew exactly how I wanted to style them. It was an opportunity to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone and try something more daring. So I paired it with a cutout crop top, casual beanie, and spiked boots. Hint hint: beanies are great to wear during those bad hair days and it can also add some funk to your wardrobe. Although this is not my every day look (my inner wild child would probably want to disagree), I really had fun creating this outfit and might try more edgy styles. That's what fashion is all about - taking risks and making trends your own.
Ready or not, brace yourself for lots more of how-to-wear tips on the season's hottest fashion trends!
cant wait for the rest of this segment... loving how different the camo is!

At a time when Maker Faire is celebrating its tenth year and has expanded to over 130 Maker Faires around the globe, it seems unthinkable that a city like Berlin has gone without a Maker Faire until now. And yet here I am, having gleefully flown from San Francisco to witness and report back on Berlin's first interpretation of the greatest show and tell on earth.

After only a few hours on Berlin soil I could already tell that the city is an outstanding environment for Makers. I have no doubt that the Faire will quickly flourish here. Berlin is brimming over with young artists and engineers, and as a city that has been rebuilding and reshaping itself for generations, creativity is just woven into the culture here.
It also helps that Germany is home to an independently run German edition of Make: magazine published in Germany by Heinz Heise, who have been working hard to build and support Germany's Maker community and have years of experience organizing Germany's Maker Faire in Hannover. Hanging out with the Heise team felt just like being with my own crew back home, only with smarter-sounding accents.
Berlin's Maker Faire kicked off at 10 a.m. on October 3rd, located at Postbahnhof, a two-level former railway mail station turned event space. Giant industrial elevators flanked both sides of the building, where train cars were once brought in on the upper level and unloaded. It was a great space, and its industrial history added an appropriate backdrop to the rows of Makers, inventors, and entrepreneurs showing their projects and products.
From the ground floor of the Postbahnhof you can see the elevated train tracks that once carried mail to the station. Photo: Donald Bell
Visitors at the entrance of the Faire were all immediately greeted by Kevin. But don't let the approachable name fool you. Kevin is actually a half-length shipping container that transforms into a Burning Man-esque stick figure with flame-throwers for hands. Kevin's Maker, Mike Wessling, brought his creation to life once every hour, leaving many fairgoers to easily miss the inconspicuous shipping container on the way in, only to be surprised by its fiery transformation later in the day.
Meeting the Makers
There were over 130 different booths cover the upper and lower levels of the main Postbahnhof building. I did my best to spend time with each of them, but to cover them all here would be exhausting. You can get a better overall glimpse of the kinds of Makers and projects at Maker Faire Berlin from Goli Mohammadi's lead-up post last week, or run through the full list on the Maker Faire Berlin site. Instead, I'll provide you with a few of my personal highlights which I also think speak to the unique tone of this event.

First, let me mention the guys from Construction Zone, a 3D printer company based in Bavaria, and proud of it. Their booth was outfitted with crates of apples from their Bavarian farm workspace and tables made from scrap barn wood — from their barn. One of their team members acted as resident DJ, playing a crate full of techno vinyl while dressed in Lederhosen. While I think they recognized that they were playing up their German schtick, there was an earnest Bavarian pride behind it all. At the end of the first day, the team cracked open a case of their favorite local beer (which they brought with them), turned up their music, and posed for a group photo.

They looked like they were having fun, and their Delta printer looked pretty great too, as it spat out miniature busts of Yoda throughout the day (though you'd think they would have gone with a gnome, though I suppose Yoda is a gnome of sorts).

Open Hive
I also had a great discussion with Clemens Gruber from Open Hive, an open source beehive monitor system. With Nathan Seidle's Internet of Bees project fresh in my mind, I had a million questions for Clemens. While Seidle's hive project is a fun exercise for those with a single hobby hive, the Open Hive system is clearly after a more serious beekeeper audience. The system is more robust, relays information across several hives, and uses a custom scale that can handle the large, sustained hive weight with minimal calibration drift.
An array of IR sensors makes up this custom bee counting board. A 3D printed channel sits on top to guide bees over the sensors. Photo: Donald Bell
I also spotted a prototype bee counter system that combined a line of IR sensors for the bees to pass over and a 3D printed housing that would channel bees through little spaces close to the sensors for more accurate counting. Clemens designed the board using Fritzing software and had the board manufactured by Fritzing as well. I couldn't get over how ingenious and adorable the bee counter system was — all those bees funneled through their little bee doors. Can you even stand it?
Dada Machine
Not a Maker Faire goes by where I don't encounter a project that I wish was available for purchase. I'm a little ashamed of this as a DIY Project Editor for Make: magazine, but sometimes a project comes along that you just want to grab and say, "take my money." For me, at Maker Faire Berlin, that project was the Dada Machine.

The Dada Machine is a box, about the size of a paperback book, that uses musical MIDI input to trigger linear actuators. If you're unfamiliar with linear actuators, you can think of them as a mechanically controlled piston. They make a great clacking noise all on their own, but combined with other objects they work great for creating percussive sounds. If you've ever heard a pinball machine let out a startling crack when you earn an extra ball, you've heard a linear actuator.
https://makezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/shortdada.m4v
The Dada Machine packages an Arduino Mega-style board and and a motor driver board together, along with a MIDI and USB interface for receiving musical information from a computer, mobile device, or standalone MIDI hardware (keyboard, drum machine, sequencer). A patch bay of barrel jack connections allows you to connect up to 12 actuators, although it's possible to use splitter cables to drive multiple actuators from one signal.

To demonstrate the device at Maker Faire, multiple actuators were laid across a table, some connected to hollow wooden boxes, others mounted on Legos, and a handful attached to mallets positioned over toy xylophones. A small tablet located off to the side connected to the Dada Machine over USB and ran a simple looping sequence of notes that visitors could change by touching the screen. The result was quirky, funky, and infectious, and inspired curious fairgoers to not only play around with the notes on the tablet, but with the physical items being struck. It was a great mix of digital technology interfacing with the real world in a playful, beautiful way. I also feel like there's a new genre of music to be mined here. I'm calling it tinker-techno.
I spoke with John Lohbihler from Dada Machines about his prototype and his next steps toward manufacturing. He's working on finalizing his case design and plans to begin selling the device later this year for 199 euros.

Bento-Bio
One subject that is becoming increasingly present at Maker Faires around the world is DIY bio tech. One London-based startup named Bento-Bio is trying to make it more accessible for everyday people to sample and analyze DNA using an all-in-one lab kit. The laptop-sized Bento Lab includes a centrifuge, PCR DNA copier, and electrophoresis DNA visualizer. The lab is expected to cost around 700 euros after its Kickstarter campaign and is geared towards students or anyone curious about unraveling the mysteries of DNA.
So much more
I could go on and on about the amazing projects, Makers, artists, entrepreneurs and vendors at Maker Faire Berlin — and even the amazing food. Hopefully I've given you at least a peek at this momentous weekend. It's not often that you get the thrill of witnessing the start of something great.
One last blast from Kevin. Photo: Philip Steffan
As I walked around Maker Faire Berlin this weekend I couldn't help but reflect back on the feelings I had when I attended the first Bay Area Maker Faire in 2006 — the thrill of seeing a community come together, and the anticipation of knowing that it's only going to grow bigger and better.

Q: How to determine video codec of a file with FFmpeg I often have problems reading AVI files with my TV's DVD player if they are not DivX or Xvid (e.g., DX50 is not readable). I'd like to make a fast script to determine the video codec of these files before burning them to CD-ROM or DVD.
The following prints the "container" of the video stream (mpeg4, mpeg2, etc), but not the codec:
ffmpeg -i file.avi

A: FFmpeg gives the codec too.  Pull the Stream #0.0: Video line and you can see the codec.  (Be aware that it could technically have a different stream number, like 0.1.)  The below output uses the MS Video-1.  This is different, like you desire, from the container which is denoted by Input #0, avi
E.g.:
FFmpeg version 0.5, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al.
  configuration: --prefix=/opt/local --disable-vhook --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-avfilter-lavf --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libdirac --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --mandir=/opt/local/share/man --enable-shared --enable-pthreads --cc=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 --arch=x86_64
  libavutil     49.15. 0 / 49.15. 0

  libavfilter    1. 4. 0 /  1. 4. 0
  libswscale     1. 7. 1 /  1. 7. 1
  libpostproc   51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0
  built on Jan  8 2010 15:34:15, gcc: 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)
Input #0, avi, from 'Movies/fvss_demo.avi':
  Duration: 00:02:00.30, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 719 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: msvideo1, rgb555, 160x120, 10 tbr, 10 tbn, 10 tbc
    Stream #0.1: Audio: pcm_u8, 8000 Hz, mono, s16, 64 kb/s
At least one output file must be specified
manoa:~ stu$

A: Try MediaInfo instead.
It lists the codec for each stream and its output is simple enough to parse - there's also an XML output option if you prefer XPath like queries.

A: mediainfo
mediainfo --Inform="Video;%Codec%" video.mkv

will in my case return:
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC

Answer made possible thanks to How to find duration of a video file using mediainfo in seconds or other formats?
ffprobe (ffmpeg) easy way
Assuming your video has one video stream only:
ffprobe -v error -select_streams v:0 -show_entries stream=codec_name -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 video.mkv

Will in my case return:
h264

Answer made possible thanks to How to get video duration in seconds?
ffprobe (ffmpeg) dirty way
This method is easier to understand but messy.
To get the codec information without playing back the file, use ffprobe.
$ ffprobe video.mkv
[...]
Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'video.mkv':
  Metadata:
    ENCODER         : Lavf56.25.101
  Duration: 00:28:05.15, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 4353 kb/s
    Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive), yuv444p, 1280x960, SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 1k tbn, 59.94 tbc (default)
    Metadata:
      ENCODER         : Lavc56.26.100 libx264
    Stream #0:1: Audio: vorbis, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)
    Metadata:
      ENCODER         : Lavc56.26.100 libvorbis

To extract the video codec information - since ffmpeg sends information to stderr - pipe and grep it:
$ ffprobe video.mkv 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep Stream.*Video
    Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High 4:4:4 Predictive), yuv444p, 1280x960, SAR 1:1 DAR 4:3, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 1k tbn, 59.94 tbc (default)

To reduce the output even further, introduce sed:
$ ffprobe video.mkv 2>&1 >/dev/null |grep Stream.*Video | sed -e 's/.*Video: //' -e 's/[, ].*//'
h264

A: ffmpeg has it.  On mac i did it this way :
first download ffmpeg like this:
brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools

and then run this on the command line:
ffmpeg -filter:v idet \
    -frames:v 100 \
    -an \
    -f rawvideo -y /dev/null \
    -i ~/Downloads/yourfile.mp4

then check for something like this in the output:
Duration: 00:00:05.48, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 952 kb/s
    Stream #0:0(eng): Video: h264 (Main) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt709), 750x1334, 619 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 30k tbn, 59.94 tbc (default)

Dyson AM07 Review
Bryan Vu
After testing the Dyson AM07 against four of the best tower fans on the market, we're confident the Dyson AM07 is an amazing design. However, we're not confident it's even close to worth the $400 price tag when the $60 Seville Classics Slimline delivers comparable cooling power and overall performance.
See Price at Amazon
How the Dyson AM07 compares
Breaking down the Dyson AM07
Dyson versus the field comparison chart
Why you really pay $400 for a Dyson
The final word on the Dyson AM07
The Dyson AM07 will blow you away — both literally and figuratively. Its innovative design allows it to move more air without making a lot of noise, and the understated-yet-bold styling makes this a fan people want to own.
However, Dyson has made it clear that their luxury positioning is no joke. The price of this model is so far beyond the point of diminishing returns that it's hard to recommend for anybody other than a cooling connoisseur (those exist?).
To determine the true cooling power of the five units, we used an anemometer to measure the wind speeds generated off each when sitting approximately two feet from the unit.
We did this because the units have varying opening sizes and true total distribution of air, which warranted looking at the total output. This way, we can measure if the fan is actually capable of cooling a room and not just you. The two-feet height is about waist level, and depending on the person, four feet is chest/face level when sitting.
The Dyson AM07 tied for top place, generating consistent air flow over the full height. Other fans had higher peak airflow in specific places, but lost a lot of power at the edge of the airstream. The Seville Classics was the only fan capable of pushing as much air at the top of the fan, though it had to run faster to do so.
Next, we looked at noise level, measuring the sound pressure level of noise (in decibels on an A-weighted scale) generated by each fan on the highest setting. If you're considering using the fan as a bedside unit, this is an important attribute.
The Dyson AM07 really showed its engineering excellence in this area, capably generating its consistent, smooth airflow without much noise. The difference between the Dyson and the more powerful Seville on this loudest setting is equivalent to the difference between normal conversation and using a hair dryer.
Our Pick: Seville Classics UltraSlimline
High power combined with affordability make the Seville a better pick. While it's not library quiet, it doesn't generate enough noise on lower settings to bother most consumers.
See Price at Amazon.com
However, on the grand scheme of things, the Seville isn't really loud. It's not going to remind you of a library, but it probably won't bother you, either. One great thing about a high-output fan is that you don't have to sit right next to it to take benefit of the high-speed airstream. The attributes Dyson is banking on is the seven decibels of sound difference, and we didn't find it a compelling difference.
After noise levels, we tested the fans for degrees of oscillation. In addition to the total area the fan air covers, a fan's ability to move also improves its performance in cooling multiple people — and a room overall.
The Dyson performed as you expect, with 90 degrees of oscillation coverage that allows it to sit in a corner and move air through the whole room. A few models, including our top pick, the Seville, had slightly more range, but the difference isn't noteworthy.
Finally, we tested the Dyson's energy usage against the field using a KillAWatt monitor. The Dyson, while not an energy hog by any means, didn't perform any better than the field. For context, the difference in usage for the lower-end models would at best result in a savings of a dollar or so per month if you are using the fans heavily.
In addition to its cooling power and rotation, there are other things about the Dyson that impress. The controller feels a lot like an Apple remote in terms of comfort, size and aesthetics, and it's by far the best option amongst the finalists. But on the negative side, it means there's a good chance it'll end up in your couch cushions.
However, Dyson does have an impressive feature to counteract that — the unit is magnetic, and the remote sticks to it when you place it on the top of the fan.
The bottom of the unit also functions as the all-purpose control if you don't happen to have the remote handy. You can cycle through all ten fan levels by holding the power button.
While the above attributes are the ones we consider the most important, they are by no means the only ones. Compare other differentiating characteristics by viewing the below chart, which you can click and view at full size. We also recommend that you read our full review of the best tower fans and if you're starting to think a tower fan isn't for you, check out our general fan review.
The Dyson is an amazing fan, but for most people, you don't pay $400 for a Dyson AM07 because you really want the cooling power. You pay $400 for a Dyson because you're a tech geek who loves amazing products and must have the best possible product on the market.
Or maybe you pay $400 because you want to impress. When you have house guests over, you want to start a conversation. Or to be cool (in multiple ways). The Dyson is capable of doing all of those things.
When you think about the Dyson as a standalone fan in a vacuum, it's not worth anything close to its $400 price tag. But if you're willing to think more about what the Dyson stands for, and what it says about you, you can see how some people are willing to chalk up the cash to pay for it.
Overall, the Dyson AM07 is an incredible act of engineering. Most of us can't begin to comprehend how the Dyson manages to generate the air flow it does — and most of us never will — but it does. And it looks amazing. And it works.
Still, after all that, it's almost $400, and a comparable, amazing unit, the Seville Classics UltraSlimline, is only $60. So if you're thinking more with your rational mind, instead of the wow-that's-shiny mind, the Seville will be your pick. And if your wow-that's-shiny mind comes first, there's no fan shinier than the Dyson AM07.
Overpriced But Amazing: Dyson AM07
There's no doubt the Dyson AM07 is an amazing tower fan. If money is no object for you, by all means, indulge in the Dyson.

In this Friends in the Fight Series, we feature amazing warriors from around the world who have experienced health setbacks. This month, we are featuring Ashley Cecere.
Please tell us a bit about yourself (not related to your illness).
I am a full-time assistant project manager for a government contractor, a part-time student in a masters program, and also a wellness blogger. My husband is a law enforcement officer and works a lot, so I have had to find ways to keep myself occupied.
Chronic migraine and fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with chronic migraine when I was in high school and had my first hemiplegic migraine when I was in my early 20s. After that first one, the nerve pain started and never went away.
Initially, the neurologist I was seeing thought that I had MS. I thought my life as I knew it was over. It wasn't like I was a champion athlete, but I love hiking. The first thing I did honestly was spent some time feeling sorry for myself in bed watching Netflix. There was a lot of weakness on my right side, and I allowed it to defeat me for a while.
My biggest fear was to not be able to continue working and ultimately not be able to continue doing basic things that I was used to such as hiking, swimming, running my side business, etc. The biggest challenge was overwhelming fatigue and weakness on my right side. It seemed like it was never going to go away and that as another source of fear.
I did improve over time and that helped get me out of that low point of my life. I have gotten hurt a few times trying to push my physical limits, so now I know to focus on low-impact exercise and to listen to my body. I think listening to my body was the answer.
A lot of friends didn't, and some still do not, really understand what I was going through and some felt that I was dramatizing my experience. Apart from my mother, my family felt similarly. I didn't have cancer and ultimately they ruled out MS, so some didn't understand why I was still down. My mother has had her own health battles and was much more empathetic and supportive.
What's your best advice for fellow Friend in the Fight?
Your experience is your experience. Do not base your pain or your challenges on someone else. Do not tell yourself that someone else has it worse so you should not complain about the pain.
This is not an excuse to whine or to sit on the sidelines of life, but rather, to understand that your feelings are valid and you need to take care of yourself. Others may not understand so the responsibility falls on you to listen to your body and make judgment calls without fear that others may think you are making it up.

Have you not set up a financial plan for Black Friday 2019? This could be hazardous for your accounts. With the economy taking such a hit everybody ought to have spending set for their vacation shopping. First, you can make a rundown of what you need to purchase for your family. Take a seat and observe the amount you should ensure the majority of your month to month bills can be paid. At that point, you can look online to get a gauge of what your ideal endowments will cost. In the event that you have enough left over to get them, at that point, and at exactly that point, would you be able to begin to add to your rundown of things you might want to get outside of your family? Such a large number of individuals get in a tight spot since they are attempting to inspire individuals.
Who are you inspiring when you by the whole office five dollar endowments that they will most likely re-blessing or hurl sooner or later. Those may even happen before you have completed the process of satisfying your Visa for this season. Burden. Thanksgiving and Christmas are not for inspiring other individuals but rather for making the most of your family and quality time which fabricates long lasting recollections. Will they much recollect what you got them one year from now? Who can appreciate this valuable couple of months realizing they will be in the red for much more? Not me. In light of that, keep to your move and keep to your rundown and go out on the town to shop independently from anyone else or with only one other individual. Without realizing it individuals really spend more in a gathering in light of the lively air.
When one-on-one you can even feel all the more free about trusting in that one individual about adhering to your financial plan. You may even enable them to adhere to a financial plan in the event that they realize you are on one. Cooperation, no doubt. You can appreciate the occasions without losing everything, I guarantee. If you need to acquire some additional money for the occasions I have discovered an incredible free asset to demonstrate to you how. You will figure out how you can put the Internet to great use for your vacation budget. While this may appear to be a moderately basic, but somewhat irritating, prospect, remember that the day in the wake of Thanksgiving is one more day closer to winter, and for the individuals who don't live in the southern states will in all probability be met with sub-zero climate, wind and perhaps a little snow. That, yet you need to battle with other people who had a similar thought as you, and in the event that you arrive past the point of no return, the majority of your sitting tight might be in vain.
If you like to pause, a large number of the little arrangements, for example, modest axles of CDs, DVDs, and other little things will in general hold up until the early or later evening long periods of Black Friday to sell out, enabling you to stock up on certain basics without the real bother of awakening at the break of day. Shockingly, this implies you should doubtlessly surrender your opportunity for that excessively modest TV or PC framework. One thing you must know about is that shoppers get unpredictable on Black Friday. Individuals have been known to be trampled, and now and again executed because of excessively enthusiastic people who won't surrender their opportunity at getting a rebate toaster. Practice safe shopping, be respectful and neighborly to different clients as well as the staff at the stores you visit, and essentially treat others how you would need to be dealt with. At last, you and every other person will have a superb occasion, free of emergency clinic bills and the shining disdain of thousands of purchasers.

Q: jCanvas - Fill Rectangles with image Is there a possibility to fill a rectangle with a picture and not with color in jCanvas?
I would repeat the pic in the rectangle like in css for example:
background-repeat: repeat;

A: To fill a pattern with an image, use the createPattern() method built into jCanvas. However, due to the limitations of the HTML5 canvas API, you cannot offset a pattern (so as to move it with a draggable layer).

Prime minister Viktor Orbán – Photo: PMO
Orbán: EU's planned sanctions on Russian oil imports 'like nuclear bomb'
The European Union's proposal on phasing out imports of Russian crude oil is "unacceptable", Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday, adding it was equivalent to "dropping a nuclear bomb on the Hungarian economy". In a regular interview with public broadcaster Kossuth Radio, the prime minister said EU member states had agreed earlier that the bloc should only take steps that take into consideration the different energy mixes of member states and their sovereign right to decide on them. However, the president of the European Commission "either willingly or unwillingly, attacked this hard-fought European unity", he added.
6. May 2022 15:22
While countries with sea ports can have energy resources delivered to them by ships, landlocked countries are wholly dependent on pipelines, he said. "The pipeline leading to Hungary starts in Russia … that is a given," he said.
Hungary cannot accept proposals ignoring that fact, he said.
Orbán said the EU proposal to phase out Russian oil imports was equivalent to "dropping a nuclear bomb on the Hungarian economy", adding that its approval would "be the end of the utility price caps". Petrol prices could reach 700 forints (EUR 1.80) per litre and diesel could cost up to 800 forints, he said.
"The battle I am fighting now is a battle to protect Hungary's utility price caps," Orbán said. Replacing Russian oil imports would take years and cost several hundreds of millions of forints, while changes to Hungary's energy transmission system would cost thousands of billions of forints, the prime minister said.
The investments to make those changes would take up to five years, he said. While the EU has allocated money to funding the developments, "they are yet to give us that money, and we cannot start the works until that arrives", unless Hungary takes out loans form the market to cover the costs, he said.
At the same time, a costly investment bringing results in 4-5 years may not "make sense" as the root of all problems, the war in Ukraine, "is here now", he said.
Hungary will be happy to discuss proposals in line with Hungarian interests, he said. The current one, however, "creates a problem for Hungary and makes no attempt to solve it", he said.
The current proposal may create a situation where Hungary runs out of fuel and other oil products important for its industry, Orbán warned.
Hungary will not accept such a proposal. "I have sent this back to President [Ursula von der Leyen] to be reworked, we are now waiting for the new proposal," he said.
Orbán said he did not consider the introduction of sanctions a good solution on the whole but Hungary must at least maintain its veto in the areas most important for the country. As a result, he said he had been willing to approve the first five packages of sanctions but made it clear that the energy embargo would be a red line.
They also wanted to put Orthodox leader Patriarch Kirill of Moscow on the sanctions list but "we will not support including church leaders" on the list because that would affect the freedom of religion for Hungarian communities which is "sacred and inviolable", Orbán said.
Hungary stands for peace and wants the parties in the Ukraine war to agree to a ceasefire and start peace talks as soon as possible, Orbán said.
He noted that he had visited Moscow "in the interest of peace" before the war started in February, as had French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. None of them succeeded, he said.
Hungary must stay out of this war, he said, adding that at the same time, the country was providing record-large humanitarian aid.
Hungarian society as a whole has become mobilised, he said. "Hungarians are now disregarding how Ukrainians used to treat ethnic Hungarians in recent years because currently we only focus on the people that suffer," he added.
Delivering weapons to Ukraine would "distance Hungary from peace … delivering weapons brings trouble on the head of those involved, especially if they are neighbours of the country at war", he said.
Orbán said that "Transcarpathia has come within striking range" because someone is delivering or planning to deliver weapons and the Russians will target the transport junctions where such trans-shipments travel.
Orbán said that he planned to present members of his new, "significantly reshuffled" government between May 20 and 30.
He said considerable changes were planned, "reflecting the many considerable changes in the world".
Christian Democrat, nationally minded governments usually start work by assessing the challenges of the upcoming four years, Orbán said.
Protection against migration pressure must be boosted, he said. "The [coronavirus] pandemic has not disappeared" and there is a war going on, he added. "We must form a government that is able to protect Hungary," he said.

The Big 15: Palmetto Ridge's Kamonte Grimes already big-time threat after a year at receiver
Andrew Sodergren
When Kamonte Grimes started playing football in the third grade, he wasn't enamored with the sport.
Basketball was his first love, and it didn't help his first experience on the gridiron came with an 0-9 South Naples Pirates Pop Warner squad.
"I'm a big competitor, I always have been in anything I've done," Grimes said. "I hate to lose, and I promised myself I'd do anything I could to make myself better and help my team."
He dedicated himself to the sport, and each year improved his game. As a quarterback and safety, Grimes carried plenty of responsibilities, but he's always thrived with the ball in his hands. With his speed and athleticism improving each year, his love and passion for football grew exponentially.
Entering his sophomore season at Palmetto Ridge, he's developed into one of the top college recruits in the area. Despite just one year of varsity experience, Grimes lands at No. 14 on The Big 15 — the countdown of the top high school football players in Southwest Florida as compiled by the Naples Daily News and The News-Press. He has four Division I offers already – Arkansas, North Carolina, Temple and Virginia – a number that would likely be higher if he wasn't forced to miss the spring season with a concussion.
"I take (being recruited) as an honor," Grimes said. "I know the work I've put in to get here, but there's definitely still a lot of room to grow."
When Jacquez Carter became Palmetto Ridge's quarterback last year, Grimes moved to wide receiver – a position he'd never played. While some expected Grimes to eventually slide back over to quarterback, he's staying at receiver instead.
"Being a quarterback kind of stopped being fun for me," Grimes said. "I actually enjoy being a receiver a lot more, honestly."
Grimes, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound athletic specimen who figures to add a few more inches and more weight by the time he's a senior, made a smooth transition to his new position. He caught 19 passes for 351 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 18.5 yards per catch. This year, he figures to be an even bigger threat for the Bears.
"It was pretty amazing watching him perform and get better week by week, day by day in practice, really," Palmetto Ridge coach Chris Toukonen said. "He got better at running routes, and I think his previous experience as a quarterback served him well. He already had pretty good instincts from seeing and reading things as a quarterback all those years."
Grimes hasn't given up his first love, either, as he was a key contributor on coach Steve Crowder's basketball team last year. Palmetto Ridge went 21-7 and qualified for the regional playoffs with Grimes serving as the sixth man.
"He's a true two-sport athlete," Toukonen said. "He's a huge part of Palmetto Ridge athletics. A lot of kids relate to him, and he's already an outstanding leader."
Grimes knows he has plenty of things to work on as he continues to learn the position, but his determination and work ethic should serve him well.
"There's definitely room to grow," he said. "I'm still learning new stuff all the time. Getting out of my breaks quicker, running better routes, finding that soft spot in the defense. There's a whole lot I can improve on."
Toukonen said he has no doubt Grimes will make those improvements, and the coach is extremely upbeat about the future of his talented receiver.
"The sky's the limit with Kamonte," Toukonen said. "I definitely think he'll be playing big-time Saturday afternoon football. He has that type of ability. It's going to be fun to see where he is in three years and how much he grows as player from now to then."
About The BIG 15
The News-Press and Naples Daily News count down the top college football recruits in Southwest Florida every Tuesday and Friday leading up to the start of high school football season. The Big 15 players from Lee and Collier counties are selected based on players with hard scholarship offers and their national recruiting rankings.

Q: Deriving combined gas law from Boyle's and Charles' laws I know that the combined gas law, $$\frac{PV}{T}=k$$ should be derivable from Boyle's Law and Charles' Law. Since these are very basic equations, I presumed that it would be a simple matter, so I tried it myself.
Charles' Law is $$\frac{V}{T}=k_1$$ and Boyle's Law is $$PV=k_2$$The subscripts are arbitrary. In the derivation on Wikipedia, they jump from this to $$PV=k_2T$$
I'm sure I'm just overlooking something silly, but I see no way of combining Charles' and Boyle's to achieve an equation in which we don't cancel at least one of $P$, $V$, or $T$.
What am I missing? Thanks.

A: Once you have the two laws for isothermic and isochoric processes for a perfect gas, you can deduce the state equation.
We assume that there exists a "set of possible configurations $(P,V,T)$", where the two laws (isothermal, isochoric) are both satisfied: $$PV=\phi (T),\quad T=P\xi (V),$$
for some functions $\phi,\xi$.
We can then show that $\phi$ is the multiplication by a constant and $ \xi = \phi ^{-1}$ .
Proof. If $P=1$, $$V=\phi(T)=\phi(\xi (V)).$$ Since $\xi$ is surjective, $\phi = \xi ^{-1}$. With $V=1$ we have  $$\xi(P)=\xi (\phi(T))=T=P\xi(1).$$ So $\xi$ is the multiplication by $\xi (1)$, q.e.d.

A: You have to realize first that Charles' law is the change in volume with respect to temperature for constant pressure while Boyle's law is the change in volume with respect to pressure for constant temperature. So when you combine them, you need to account for these
If I take a gas of volume $V_1$, pressure $P_1$ and temperature $T_1$ and let it change have a state $(V_*,\,P_2,\,T_1)$, then via Boyle's law,
$$
P_1V_1=P_2V_*\tag{1}
$$
Then keeping this constant pressure we move to state $(V_2,\,P_2,\,T_2)$ via Charles' law,
$$
\frac{V_*}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}\tag{2}
$$
Solving for $V_*$ in both (1) and (2) then equating them, we get
$$
\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}
$$
We've changed the pressure, volume and temperature of the gas but still find their product equal, suggesting that the relation is constant:
$$
\frac{PV}{T}=k
$$

A: The volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature. This is known as Boyle's law.
$$P_{1}V_{1}=P{2}V_{2}$$
$$PV= {\rm a\, constant}$$
$$P\, {\rm inversely\, proportional\, to}\, \frac{1}{V}\, {\rm at\, constant}\, T$$
$$PV = {\rm a\, constant} T$$
This is the mathematical equation or algebraic law for Boyle's law.

The Second World War In Colour Pictures
An Imperial War Museum book released today showcases Ted Dearberg's rare colour photographs, which highlight the key role that aerial battles played.
Ian Carter, author of War in the Air and senior curator at the Imperial War Museum, said: "Colour photography was a rarity during the second world war; film was scarcely available and images were expensive to print. Each photograph has been carefully optimised by the museum's team of expert restorers to bring back the accuracy, colour and detail over the years, which have faded from both paper and memory"

November 17 hitman requests release on grounds of disability
Savvas Xiros has applied for a release from prison on terms. Xiros was sentenced to five times life imprisonment for participation in the 17N terrorist organization.
The prisoner asked the competent Prison Council invoking health grounds on the basis of Article 110A of the Penal Code, as amended by the Paraskevopoulos law, which allows for cases of life detainees with a disability percentage of 80%, or more, and if they have served for ten years, in the case of homicide, to serve the "rest of their sentence in home detention". The provision also provides that 'electronic surveillance may be imposed'.
Savvas Xiros' appeal is the first to cite this provision, as the previous ones he had filed and which were rejected were based on "grievous disability" as he stated that for reasons of beliefs he did not want electronic surveillance.
Savvas Xiros has been facing serious health problems since 2002 when an explosive mechanism he was about to place in Piraeus exploded in his hands, resulting in his arrest and capture of the "November 17" organization.
According to his lawyer, Annie Paparousou, Savvas Xiros has a 98% disability, and a medical certificate from the competent authorities. According to the lawyer, based on this data, "Savvas is counting days for his release".
