Xinhua Headlines: China's production resumption drives Belt and Road cooperation, fuels global growth
-- The resumption of the China-Europe freight service, part of the cooperation under the BRI framework, acts as a lifeline of cross-border logistics amid the pandemic.
-- China's resumption of work and production also meet the basic demands of other countries for epidemic prevention.
-- Despite the impact of COVID-19, Chinese investment in Belt and Road partner countries increased by 11.7 percent in the first quarter and trade with them went up by 3.2 percent.
-- As the world economy is struggling to recover from the pandemic, China and other countries expect more results from the BRI cooperation and beyond.
BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Near the Kazakh-Russian border in the Kostanay Region, a wind farm contracted by Chinese firm Universal Energy is under fully-fledged construction despite the impact of the raging novel coronavirus epidemic.
Hundreds of Chinese and Kazakh workers are binding reinforced steel bars to erect the wind farm's giant turbine foundations before early July.
The resumption of work at the wind farm, like many other cooperation projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), as well as production in China, will help dispel the shadow cast over the already sluggish global growth and boost the prospect, observers say.

HOPE FOR GROWTH
As the second largest economy in the world, China has the largest industrial system with the most complete categories, strong production capabilities and complete supporting sectors. Its economic activities have gradually emerged from shutdowns by restarting production at factories and providing components, materials, as well as major subsystems to manufacturers worldwide.
Since mid-April, freight trains, under the operation of China Railway Express, have been shuttling between China's manufacturing hubs and cities in Europe and Central Asia.
On April 14, a Chinese freight train arrived in the western German city of Duisburg with over 160 tons of epidemic prevention supplies, as well as must-have goods for the resumption of work and production, such as auto parts, electronic products and optical fiber.

Besides contribution to the stability of the global supply chain, China's resumption of work and production also meet the basic demands of other countries for epidemic prevention. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, China has exported medical supplies to 199 countries and regions, including aid to over 150 countries and international organizations.
In the Chinese capital, as of May 20, 370 enterprises and construction sites have resumed operations in Zhongguancun Science Park Daxing Bio-Medicine Industry Park.
Beijing Yiling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, the producer of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules -- an effective medicine recommended by China's National Health Commission for COVID-19 treatment -- is one of those enterprises. The daily output of the medicine has now increased to 660 cases, which can meet the daily demands of 440,000 patients.
Wu Rui, director of Beijing Yiling, said that the company has donated the medicine to Italy, Iraq, Bangladesh, Malaysia and other countries to help fight the epidemic.
Cai Fang, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's economic recovery, boosted by strong policy support and growing domestic demand, will have a very positive spillover effect on the world.

RESILIENT BRI
As more countries are moving to reopen their economies, global cooperation through multilateral platforms, such as BRI, has never been made so important.
While delivering the government work report at the third session of the 13th National People's Congress (NPC), the national legislature, on Friday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said the joint efforts to pursue the BRI have yielded fresh results, and emphasized the need to focus on high-quality joint building of the initiative.
Staying committed to achieving shared growth through consultation and collaboration, China will uphold market principles and international rules, give full scope to enterprises as the main actors, work with the BRI partners for mutually beneficial outcomes, and guide the healthy development of outbound investment, Li said.

"COVID-19 has affected Belt and Road cooperation to some extent, but the impact is temporary and limited," Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said when answering questions from Chinese and foreign media on the sidelines of the ongoing NPC meeting on Sunday.
"From an overall and long-term perspective, COVID-19 will only strengthen and re-energize Belt and Road cooperation and open up new possibilities," said Wang.
Despite the impact of COVID-19, Chinese investment in Belt and Road partner countries increased by 11.7 percent in the first quarter and trade with them went up by 3.2 percent, he added.
According to data from China's General Administration of Customs, China's foreign trade with countries along the Belt and Road totaled 2.07 trillion yuan (301.1 billion U.S. dollars) in the first three months of this year.
The resumption of construction for a number of projects suspended due to COVID-19 will generate strong impetus for the host countries' efforts to beat the virus and revitalize the economy, said Wang.
CALL FOR COOPERATION
As the world economy is struggling to recover from the pandemic, China and other countries expect more results from the BRI cooperation and beyond.
Built on its real benefits to the people in partner countries, Belt and Road cooperation has enabled documents to be signed with 138 countries over the past seven years, with more than 2,000 projects launched and tens of thousands of jobs created in the partner countries.
"It is vital and it will continue despite the ongoing pandemic. China's policies are based on continuity and this is also the case for the BRI," said George Tzogopoulos, an expert on Chinese affairs with the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Israel's Bar Ilan University.

Pierre Khoury, vice president of the Arab Chinese Cooperation and Development Association, called for enhanced cooperation between China and Arab countries to overcome the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Let's remember that the core value behind the Belt and Road Initiative is this 'win-win' relationship," he said.
"By aiming for high-standard, people-centered and sustainable progress, we will make the Belt and Road a model of development, cooperation and health for all involved," said the Chinese foreign minister.
"The darkest time will pass, and the light is ahead," Wang said.

When a heater malfunctions or stops working, no matter what time of year, it can really leave you out in the cold! Finding a reputable heater repair company who can guarantee a professional job done at an affordable cost becomes essential. Whether the heater is gas or electric, an older model or a lesser-known brand, a certified heater repair specialist will have it up and running again. Sometimes, a heater can be beyond repair and will need to be replaced, and a professional heater repair company can also perform this job.
In order to keep the heater in peak running condition for years to come, it is wise to schedule regular maintenance with a trustworthy heater repair company. An inefficient heating system uses a lot more energy to operate and can, in turn, raise utility bills. Heater repair and maintenance can increase the life of the heating system, keeps the system working properly for longer and can actually save the customer money in the long run.

WATCH: Cillian Murphy speaks out about homelessness at launch of Simon House of Light festival
Rudi Kinsella
"It doesn't need to exist."
Cillian Murphy has spoken out about homelessness at the launch of the Simon House of Light festival at Powerscourt Townhouse Centre in Dublin.
The actor was one of many in attendance at the event on Thursday night.
After saying that homelessness is not something that needs to exist, Murphy continued: "If there's enough imagination, if there's enough resources, if people actively engage with it, I think hopefully it's something we can solve".
RTÉ shared a video of Murphy making the comments:

The three-day festival will run from 5pm – 10pm from Thursday 5 December until Saturday 7 December.
It will see an animated Christmas story projected on to the facade of Powerscourt Townhouse Centre.
The light show, which will run throughout the festival, will be accompanied by a host of musical performances on the steps of the centre each night.
The goal of the event is to highlight the issue of homelessness, while also raising money for the Simon Community, as donations will be welcomed on-site.
According to stats released on Thursday, 16,776 people used Simon Communities services in 2018, up from 13,304 people in 2017.

It's time for a change - for close to 2 years now, I've been using Pelican to build my site, as someone who's always eager to try out new things, I decided to move on to a new static site generator. Enter Jekyll, a ruby-based static site generator that is on par with Pelican (which is Python-based) in terms of features.
Jekyll has excellent documentation and boasts a very good selection of plugins and themes available to it and like Pelican also supports Markdown & HTML markup languages, sadly (at least for me), the way post files are structured and formatted in Jekyll is different to Pelican and I couldn't find any converter to convert my Pelican markdown files into Jekyll compatible ones, this meant having to manually edit each one of my posts which is the only drawback from my transition from Pelican.
To find out more about Jekyll, the first point of call should be the excellent documentation.

The Lib Dems have opposed George Osborne's welfare cuts tonight in parliament. The eight remaining Lib Dem MPs tabled a parliamentary motion calling for the withdrawal of the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, singling out the proposed cuts to disability benefits as being particularly unfair.
The Liberal Democrats are barely out of the door, but millions of men and women throughout the country are now anxiously working out how Osborne's £12 billion in welfare cuts will cost them and their family.
While no one can say that the last five years have been easy, the Liberal Democrats in government fought for, and won, reductions in level of welfare cuts in the last parliament. We secured protection for child tax credits for the poorest recipients, invested in free child care and free school meals for more children than ever before, and championed the pensions triple lock that will keep pensioners out of poverty.
The Conservative plans for £12 billion of welfare cuts have not been fully outlined, but the recent budget begins to show the shape of what is to come. Limiting child tax credits and universal credit to the first two children of any family sets a worrying precedent, especially given the pre-election rumours of Tory plans to cap child benefit in the same way during this parliament.
Welfare spending needs to be kept under control, but it needs to be fair. The scale of the cuts will be excessive and unfair. It is a tragedy that, after five long and hard years, the poor will find themselves subject to such a punitive welfare regime with no one left in government to fight for a fair approach to welfare.

With Never a Lamentation: Alys Faiz
Published on Chowk.com on March 8th 2010
The topography of women's empowerment in Pakistan is a treacherous terrain, harsh on the eyes. It is often marked by subjugation, lack of education and basic literacy, utter neglect of health; for instance, Pakistan has among the highest occurrence of preventive complications leading to steep maternal mortality rates in the world, and downright flogging in honor-based regions.
Traveling this road, names like Fatima Jinnah, Shaista Ikramullah, Jahanara Shahnawaz, Tassadaque Hussain, Sughra Begum, Nusrat Khanum, Mumtaz Shahnawaz and Fatima Begum stand out like a desert rose that builds its beauty because of and not despite of the sharp winds and extreme temperatures of cultural oppression. These women were active political leaders, they brought down the Union Jack and hosted the Pakistani flag during the independence movement, got rounded up in jails, they worked relentlessly for women's rights and literacy and were a big part of the agitations that brought military governments down.
Indigenous movements led by them left a mark on History, though in the history written by men, they are mere footnotes. A far more indelible one is left by someone who was once part of the retreating colonial British government pre-independence.
Alys Faiz, known more often as the wife of Faiz Ahmed Faiz was more than a chapter in the life of forgotten heroes in Pakistan. She was a British born faithful of the communist movement, allied fiercely with the mission of promoting freedom from oppressive regimes, a learned and well-read person, she was as opinionated and prolific in her writing as she was in her thoughts. It wasn't just her grandeur that was alluring; really, it was her futuristic understanding of the principle of equality. She possessed such sensitivity, first for the subjects of the British Raj, then the subjects of military governments and for the women of this country.
When one begins to study Alys Faiz, there is seemingly so much more than meets the eye. The strength of her character, her steadfastness, the undying spirit despite trying times, her intelligently met challenges of day-to-day life as she raised two girls on her own while Fiaz Ahmed Faiz was jailed for 4 long years, and mostly, the fact that she got out of bed each day and rode to work in scotching Lahore heat, speaks volumes about how much capacity she had to be involved in life's positive machinery. She pursued a career in Human Rights Watch publication The View and carried it though till most of her life.
Whereas Faiz Ahmed Faiz's genius is apparent in his publications for which Alys Faiz played agent, but her own is hidden behind the very recess of his fame: She symbolized the dots in his written words. Not only do biographers, such as I A Rehman who knew her well, say that she molded the poet in Faiz to be disciplined and prim, but also that she knew just how much influence to press on him.
Such patience only comes in the case of severe self-awareness. The source for this strength is difficult to ascertain, since life for her was so measured, each ounce dealt in its appropriate compartment like the household budget. Faiz had delegated much of whatever needed planning to his beloved wife, whom he dearly loved and who in return called him "dear Heart." He made her couplets in Urdu, her letters to him had a very Orwellian texture. She writes to him: "Shake of the dust you say, but we the inarticulate must swallow our hopes, fears and joys."
And her formula for optimism: "There is so much to forget."
The four years of separation for the couple were challenging in every sense of the word, but their letters signified a linguistic and cultural togetherness that seals all in between with an understanding you see only in Shakespeare plays. She was however, never the damsel in distress but the Joan of Arc, heading in the direction of a voice she trusted. In their letters one sees that she holds herself, is an independent thinker, and brings him down from the skies to smell the flowers at his feet.
In their affections, never does one glimpse dependency or even obsession, a tinge of romance once in a while, but otherwise a reality hung over their communication like shade from the banyan tree where they both rested when weary from unrelenting summers. Summers which she loathed and complained about till the end, but yet would travel though to meet Faiz in Monghomary Jail, which begs the question why?
From a purely tactical perspective, what she brought to Faiz Ahmed Faiz's life was much more than what she got in return. No political value add, in fact being Faiz'z wife was probably as risky as living in a war zone; no social value, in the stretch sense of the word, she was isolated because of the cultural conservatism in Faiz's traditional family, initially at least; no financial security because one could either fight for a just cause or be a collaborator, which they were not, and there was certainly no cultural value, since she was Protestant, British and Faiz was famous and well respected in circles that didn't matter. The verdict would be to scout.
Again, from a tactical perspective alone, but Alys was as much the wife of Faiz Ahmed Faiz as she was a mother to two beautiful daughters. Although she dutifully and lovingly executed roles, this alone is not where she begins and ends. Alys Faiz had adopted Pakistan as her country, caught in the tail end of the Raj, this was an extension of who she was, and a reality of much more open and tolerant times among the learned, where there were bigger causes than the honor of women and the conquest of a rolling income.
The Faiz's masterpiece, "Mujsey Pehli Si Mohobat," holds true for Alys as much as for Faiz. Her marriage opened up a world of diverging policies for men and women, and this extended her fight for the underdog. And since this was her country, it was her disillusionment with it that made her carry on.
She reminisces, "Who would have thought that my mother in law would be a Punjabi Jat?" Unhappy that Alys did not bring with her lands to offer she was vocally disappointed with the choice of a bride that her son made. She also wanted Alys to give birth to a son, she had two daughters instead.
In her book, "Over my Shoulder" she writes from the heart about the social preference for girls in South Asian society: I do wish that all lovely girl babies might be received with joy, with never a lamentation, that boy babies
would not elbow them out.
Just this month (March 2010) The Economist magazine has done a feature on the gendercide called The war on baby girls, Killed, aborted or neglected, at least 100m girls have disappeared—and the number is rising. Pakistan, like India and China have a rising missing girls number as its middle class has more access to ultrasound technology that exposes the unborn child's gender leading to mostly abortions in the case of girls. Interestingly, only one country in the world has been able to reverse the trend of early aborting girls – South Korea: "The forces of modernity first exacerbated prejudice—then overwhelmed it."
Alys writes, "In some areas of Pakistan only sons are counted – and one finds out sooner or later that there are some little girls tucked away somewhere in the family – just not counted at all. I was recently at a school in Lahore doing some poetry-reading, and as I surveyed those eager little faces belonging to dozens of girls I had a song unsung, for the tears perhaps shed when some of them wriggled into this somewhat hostile world!"
How far reaching her sense of protection for the girl child for this country was apparent. By crusading for it though her work and journalism she has raised the bar for Pakistan's girl child. Through her journey she has shown us what it means to be true to a cause both in the familial and the political.
And being true to the woman in her.

This undergraduate/graduate course compares the economic systems of regions on the spectrum from free market to communism. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and the movement toward capitalism in the remaining communist countries, this field of study has changed dramatically. This book concentrates on these movements and their implications and for the first time expands its scope to include more coverage of developing countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Thoroughly revised in response to the dramatic changes in the former-Soviet Union, this text has been reorganised along geographical lines rather than ideological ones and now covers more of the world's economic systems including Asia and Africa.

Q: How to make Video JS player (and video) scalable I want to publish videos using Video JS player, but cannot get it to scale in response to different screen sizes.
On the Video JS homepage, the demo video scales (looks like from  970px to 600px width). But the code you get if you hit the "embed this player" button does not scale. Here is that code in action:

*

*http://www.casedasole.it/video/index.html
In the embed code, the size of the video is specified (640 x 264), but the demo page code gives no size for the video element. I've looked at the source of the video js page, but there's too much going on (13 scripts and 4 stylesheets) to track down what's making it scalable. There's also no video js forum, so they recommend asking here.
Anybody know how it can be done?

A: It comes from http://www.video-js.com/js/home.js l72
videojs("home_video", {"height":"auto",
"width":"auto"}).ready(function(){
    var myPlayer = this;    // Store the video object
    var aspectRatio = 5/12; // Make up an aspect ratio

    function resizeVideoJS(){
      // Get the parent element's actual width
      var width = document.getElementById(myPlayer.id()).parentElement.offsetWidth;
      // Set width to fill parent element, Set height
      myPlayer.width(width).height( width * aspectRatio );
    }

    resizeVideoJS(); // Initialize the function
    window.onresize = resizeVideoJS; // Call the function on resize
  });

A: You can make video.js player scalable by using media queries. On smaller screens, change the css of video js controls by media queries. This worked for me.

Is Your Chimney the Cause of Your Leaking Roof?
Drip, drop, drip. It's not a pleasant sound for a homeowner. Correct that: the soporific sound of a steady rain can be one of Nature's most soothing sound tracks. We don't mean that. No, we mean the annoying and alarming sound of what appears to be a leaky roof. The kind of sound that keeps you up nights, with nightmarish visions of expensive repair bills.
Drip, drop, drip. Is my roof leaking? Uh-oh? Drip, drop, drip. Do I call a roofer? Maybe. Maybe not.
We politely suggest you first call Northeastern Masonry & Chimney. Why? It may be a chimney problem, not a roof problem.
A winter of snow, ice, and rain — along with freeze-thaw cycles — can result in a leaky roof that masks the root cause: a leaky chimney. A chimney leak presents identifiable symptoms and signs. Turn to the experts at Northeastern Masonry & Chimney to determine if you have a chimney leak posing as a roof problem.
Do you have damaged roof shingles? Northeastern Masonry & Chimney can investigate to discern whether damaged roof shingles are a symptom or a cause. We know how to spot chimney-leak symptoms, ranging from water in your hearth, crumbling mortar joints, moisture around your flashing, cracked brickwork or odors from mold — and, of course, damaged roof shingles. Incidentally, roof shingles are ironically one of the least common causes of chimney leaks.
A typical cause of chimney leaks is improperly installed or damaged flashing, or gaps in the sealant around the flashing. One of your chimney's most important shields against water infiltration is its flashing, which is installed on all four sides where the chimney rises up out of the roof. Sometimes portions of chimney flashing can be torn or damaged, or the high-performing caulk that's used to seal some edges can pull off, giving water an opportunity to enter.
Northeastern Masonry & Chimney experts are trained to assess flashing, whether it's materials or installation. Other chimney leak causes can range from a faulty or missing chimney cap, allowing rainwater in, a damaged chimney liner, or a damaged flue. Any of these malefactors can masquerade as a roof problem.

SHOCK: Twin Peaks House Collapses Down Hill Mid-Remodel...Owner is Ex-Building Inspection Commission President!!
Scary! San Francisco Chronicle reports that a house under renovation has crumbled down Twin Peaks! Something is fishy. The owner is Mel Murphy, "a city port commissioner and a director of the Coalition for Responsible Growth, a political advocacy group funded largely by developers and others with real estate interests." Do you think he was allowed to cut corners?!
UPDATE: Murphy dodged $15,000 in permit fees by lying to the City with a lowball construction estimate! Not fair!!
City building inspectors were poring over the wreckage of a Twin Peaks home Tuesday, trying to determine what caused the 72-year-old structure, which had been raised above its foundation, to partially break apart during a major remodeling and expansion effort vehemently opposed by neighbors.


Jonathan and Drew find out who won their Texas beachfront flip competition in the Season 5 finale.
Drew digs out his lower level to create a money-making rental suite. Jonathan transforms an awkward loft into a luxurious guest room and a lower-level crawl space into a family game room. Judge Egypt Sherrod comes to the Golden State to decide which brother wins a chance to shoot hoops with NBA superstar Stephen Curry.
Jonathan takes an expensive risk in his master suite and Drew makes the best of his small space. Guest judges Bristol and Aubrey Marunde from Flip or Flop Vegas arrive to judge the master bedrooms and baths before rewarding the winning brother with an all-access behind-the-scenes tour of Alcatraz while the loser is locked in solitary confinement.
Jonathan and Drew redesign their guest bedroom and bathrooms for the judges, and the loser has to go out into the Gulf to catch shrimp and cook a meal for the winner and the judges.
The brothers come out swinging to see who can design the best party-ready outdoor decks and patios. Mother and daughter duo Mina and Karen from Good Bones come by the coastal houses to judge the brothers' projects. Whoever impresses the judges the most gets to zip line to the beach while the loser has to navigate an 80-foot rope obstacle course.
The competition continues and Drew sets out to win with an over-the-top master suite. The brothers will have to work extra hard on their bathrooms and bedrooms as Desert Flippers' Eric and Lindsey Bennett are on hand to judge their work. The winner gets to play with penguins at the Moody Gardens Aquarium in Galveston, TX, while the loser has to clean up the mess.


One day, a rabbit found a thorn. "This thorn will surely come in handy.", thought the rabbit. Wrapped in a paper, he kept it safely in pocket.
Suddenly a fox pounced upon him. The rabbit drew out the thorn from his pocket. He then struck the thorn into the body of the fox.
Fox cried out of pain, "Ahhh!". And rabbit got enough time to run away.

Can xbox record party chat

Can you capture Xbox Party chat audio?
Why can't I hear my voice in Xbox clips on PC?
How do I record Xbox Live on my PC?
How do I get party chat on OBS?
How do you record your voice on Xbox Live Party?
Is discord an app on Xbox?

Does Windows game bar record audio?
Xbox One is a great game console for parties. If you have a large group of people who want to play games and chat, the Xbox One is perfect. But what if you only want to use the Xbox One for gaming? What if you don't want to be bothered by people while you're trying to play your game?
I have given my best possible advice on this topic if you want to know anything comment down below, our team is thriving hard to give you the best.
Xbox Party chat is a great way to communicate with your friends while playing games together. However, since the audio is transmitted over the Internet, it can be difficult to capture the chat audio for later playback. There are a few ways to captured Xbox Party chat audio, but each has its own drawbacks.
The first method is to use a capture card or software to record the Xbox Party chat audio. This approach is useful if you want to save the chat audio for later playback on your own computer. However, this method has two major drawbacks: First, you have to have a capture card or software installed on your computer in order to capture the audio. Second, if someone else is also using a capture card or software, their voice will be included in the recording and it will be difficult to separate their voice from yours.
I have covered the next heading to tell you more about this topic, let me knoe if i have skipped anything
The second method is to use an Xbox One microphone. If you have an Xbox One and an active Xbox Live account, you can use the microphone feature to record the Xbox Party chat audio. This approach is useful if you want to save the chat audio as part of your game recordings. However, there are two major drawbacks: First, you need to be able to access and use

Xbox One and Xbox 360 allow for users to record game clips and share them with friends through the console's social media interface. However, some users have reported that they are unable to hear their voice in the recorded clips on their PC. There are a few potential solutions for this issue.
I would appreciate a thankyou in comments or a suggestion if you have any. Looking forward to your reaction if we were able to answer you
1. Make sure that your microphone is properly plugged into your computer and that it is working properly. Xbox One and Xbox 360 allow for users to use a variety of microphones, so it is possible that yours is not compatible.
2. Try adjusting the audio settings on your computer. On Windows 7 or 8, open the Control Panel and click "Sounds and Audio Devices." On Windows 10, open the Settings app and go to "Sound." On MacOS, open System Preferences and click "Audio." Under "Input," make sure that "Microphone" is set to "On." If you still experience difficulty hearing your voice in Xbox clips, try using a different microphone or using one that is dedicated solely to gaming purposes.
I should tell about the next thing that everyone is asking on social media and searching all over the web to find out the answer, well i have compiled answers further below
3. Disable background noise reduction on your computer. This feature can reduce sound quality when listening to music or video clips, which could affect how well you can hear your voice in Xbox clips.
Xbox One players have long been spoiled for choice when it comes to their gaming experience, with both console versions boasting a wealth of exclusive titles. However, one feature that Xbox 360 owners have enjoyed for many years is the ability to capture in-game footage and share it with friends. Xbox One finally offers a faithful equivalent in the form of party chat, which allows players to video chat while playing games together.
Further answered questions are also very related but given separately because we can't put everything in one subheading let's check further
However, party chat can be a little tricky to get started with. How do you record it? What codec do you use? The answers to these questions can be found in this guide. Whether you just want to capture highlights for a YouTube channel or produce an entire Let's Play series, knowing how to record Xbox Live party chat is essential.
READ : How do you delete a game on roblox 2020
First things first: make sure your Xbox One is connected to the internet. You need at least one active game session in order to start recording. Once your game is up and running, press the Menu button (the three lines on the left hand side of the controller), select Settings, and then select System. Under "Recording", make sure "Enable game DVR" is checked and press the Menu button again
I would say this is the best explanation to the topic in a breif, however there are many questions that need thorrough reading
If you are using the Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) to stream your gameplay, you can enable party chat on OBS by following these steps:
1. In OBS, go to Settings > Video and Audio.
2. Click the Broadcast tab.
3. Under Enable Party Chat, check the box next to it and click OK.
4. Make sure that your microphone is set up and connected to your computer.
5. In the game you want to record, press the Tab key to switch to the chat interface and start chatting with your friends!
Xbox One allows you to record your voice while playing games online with other players. This is a great way to capture funny moments or record yourself giving instructions to a friend during a game. Here's how to do it:
1. Open the Xbox One video recorder and select the "Record" button.
2. Start talking! You can say anything you want, and the Xbox One will capture your voice and save it to your profile.
3. When you're done, hit the "Stop" button and the video will be saved to your profile.
Discord is an app on Xbox that is designed for gamers to communicate with each other. It can be used for voice and text chat, and it also has a server feature that lets you invite other players to join your game session. You can even use Discord to track your game stats and achievements.

Xbox One's microphone cannot be used on PCs, but the opposite is not true: PC microphones can be used with Xbox One. However, the quality of Xbox One's mic is considerably better than that of a PC mic. Xbox One also has a built-in noise cancellation feature that PC microphones do not have.
Do Windows game bar recordings constitute as "audio"? In a word, yes. Game bar recordings are considered audio by the Windows 10 operating system, even if you're not using the game bar. This is because game bar recordings are captured using the microphone on your device.
This means that you can use the Windows 10 voice recorder to create audio recordings of your conversations without having to worry about whether or not they're being recorded on video. The only caveat is that you'll need to make sure that the volume is turned up on your device so that you can hear the recording clearly.
Xbox One can record party chat, but only if other players are aware and want to be recorded. If they're not aware, or don't want to be recorded, the chat won't be saved.

Sony snags Elmo's World reboot
One of the most successful Sesame shows of all time, according to international media head Ed Wells, is returning to the UK next year.
Sesame Workshop is launching the rebooted Elmo's World series in the UK via Sony's free-to-air channel Tiny Pop in January 2020.
This is the first time the 65 x five-minute standalone series is launching in the region, after it originally premiered in the US on HBO and PBS in 2017. Previously Elmo's World ran as a segment in Sesame Street on PBS KIDS from 1998 to 2009. Tiny Pop is already home to fellow Sesame Street resident Cookie Monster, who joined the network after Tiny Pop picked up the five-minute series Cookie Monster's Foodie Truck last November.
The rebooted series features Elmo going on educational adventures with his friend and animated mobile phone Smartie. Starring Bill Irwin (Fool Moon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas), Daveed Diggs (Ferdinand, Wonder), and comedian Daniel Koren, the series features dancing, counting and sorting to encourage interactivity.
"Elmo's World is one of the most successful Sesame Street shows of all time," says Sesame Workshop's head of international media and education Ed Wells.
"This is the first time that the reimagined Elmo's World will air as a standalone series in the UK," he adds. "Tiny Pop is one of the country's biggest preschool broadcast outlets and we [rebooted the series] to bring the inventiveness and interaction of Elmo's World to today's kids."
Moving forward, Sesame Workshop has locked in a few new CP partnerships for the rebooted show, including with Sesame Street's UK licensing agent Bulldog Licensing (apparel, home goods, accessories, toys), while master toy partner Sambro is going to be launching two new Elmo feature plush lines this year in the region.

The game, while having a strong story that is enticing and fully voice acted, doesn't take itself completely seriously.


Hi Spring fans! How's things? I'm in Taipei, Taiwan, where I've presented at the local JUG and at the Cloud Native Forum. It's been a crazy good time on the ground eating delicious "stinky tofu" (that's its name!), trying to figure out the difference between traditional Chinese characters and so-called simplified Chinese characters used in China, and of course making tons of new friends.
In less than 24h I'll be on a plane winging my way back west where I'll join my family, and our newest addition, and our friends, and we'll celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday together. It's this time of year when I try to take stock of all the things for which I'm grateful and you know what, dear reader? Time and time again, I think of you, the community that makes Spring the best place to integrate and innovate. I am thankful for you. I'm sure I speak for the Spring team and Pivotal at large when I say, we are thankful for you.
From all of us to all of you: Happy Thanksgiving!
Now, we've got a ton to cover so let's get to it!
I love this bit of Pivotal corporate news thart has absolutely nothing to do with Spring but that deserves as wide an airing as possible: "This month, we signed the Business Statement on Transgender Equality with over 100 other companies.
Spring Boot lead Phil Webb has listed some of the side projects that've come out of Spring Boot to support the development of Spring Boot easier - this is a great thread!


I love this design. Plenty of surface area and the hickory is beautiful. The fact that it has a powered lift is icing on the cake. Well done, Tommy. Well done. Note to self: add cup holders to your desk.
Matt does a great job of explaining the most common blade/iron options that we have available to us. Also, why you would prefer one over the other in certain situations.
This is such a fun video documenting a fantastic small shop evolution. Great use of space and also great use of color! I love the paint stick backsplash.
Incredible….. just incredible. If you've got 49 minutes to spare you better check out this video. If you don't have 49 minutes to spare you better find 49 minutes to check out this video. This is an excellent journey through the construction of a Goodall guitar. A well equipped shop ran by two detail oriented, talented woodworkers.
Also, here's a quick tour of the Goodall Guitars shop.
I have a ton of respect for Tom Lie Nielsen and his desire to manufacture local. Here's a good look at how precision electronic machines are helping him produce precision hand tools. There's a bit of irony in that last sentence but it totally makes sense.
I bet this is a great conversation piece….
I wasn't so sure about this one when the solder was being applied. But I gotta say the end result is very interesting. Also, another great conversation piece.
Love your pictures. Keep it up.
I just noticed that you included my desk in your ISFATW email: "In the first ISFATW of 2108 we've got a drafting table with better dance moves than me" LOL! I got a good chuckle out of that. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the pic Jay! It's an honour to be featured on your site!
after watching the tour of the Nielsen factory, I was always under the impression that the objective of a company was to build and sell tools, not to build and hoard to display in their shop.


The government is seizing privately owned companies and farms. Labor unions have been crushed. Political opponents are routinely harassed or else prosecuted by chavista controlled courts.
But in the 1970s and 1980s, Venezuelans were the envy of Latin America. Oil rich, educated, with a solid democratic tradition, they lived a tier above the chronically unstable societies in the region.
Hugo Chavez and his allies are tightening their grips, forcing the intelligentsia to leave in droves.


On Thursday at the Back Paddock carpark, I heard a Horsfield's Bronze-cuckoo.
Also, whilst I'd stopped here for a quick cuppa, Golden Whistler, Grey Fantail, Brown-headed Honeyeaters, Willie Wagtail, Red-browed Finch. The honeyeaters gave excellent views whilst working through some acacia.
Also on Thursday, while meandering around the back roads of Yan Yean, I watched 5 Brown Thornbills playing around in a fork of a eucalypt. The fork was approximately 15 metres from ground level. When I got the binoculars on them, I realised that they were actually bathing. The fork obviously held water and they were having a great time. Certainly no worries about cats etc up there!
Yan Yean highlight: a pair of Great-crested Grebe whilst in the paddocks along Dunnett's Road, Long-billed and Little Corellas and Sulphur-crested Cockatoos.


Walsh's students are learning about environmental stewardship by raising salmon throughout the school year. Sponsored by Columbia Springs and Clark Public Utilities, the SITC program has been providing hands-on education for students throughout Clark County since 1991.
The SITC program gives students the opportunity to learn about local habitats, the interrelationships between species within their local watersheds, and the importance of keeping our environment healthy and clean. Multiple lesson plans around this program allow students to interact with material for the full year.
During the dissection portion of the project, students' first challenge is to remove structures that the fish uses for movement, protection, breathing, and sensing. Students then look at those structures under a microscope. Students look for evidence that will help them answer all sorts of questions, such as: Do salmon have taste buds? Do they have teeth? Do they have eyelids? Do the fins have bones? What color are the gills? Why are they shaped that way?
When the dissection shifts to focus on internal anatomy, students continue to lead the investigation. Students perform the main incision and identify all the internal organs before completing additional challenges.
The first challenge is to identify the two chambers of the fish's heart. They answer the questions: Which is the tough, muscular ventricle, and which is the darker-colored atrium? Pacemaker cells can be found near the atrium. If stimulated, these pacemaker cells can make a fish's heart beat long after it's dead. This is a test of patience - students must do the incision carefully and correctly, not damage the heart, keep the heart inside the fish's body, correctly identify the chambers, and gently touch the atrium without damaging it. It is a memorable experience for those students who see a beating heart.


Our vision: To foster a thirst for geographical knowledge; develop skilled geographers and; enhance understanding of the world and their place in it.
Geography is dynamic, creative and challenging, the department aims to replicate that in class for all students. Through endeavour for excellence, we challenge our students to take what they know and build on it; expand it; and continually critique it.
Throughout Key Stage 5, 'A' Level students study how our world has changed from the past to the present and how it may change in the future. This is achieved through the study of a range of topics.
At A Level students follow the AQA specification. The syllabus offers students a revitalised perspective on Geography.
achieving an understanding of the complex inter-relationships between people and environment.
Pupils also develop a variety of geographical skills, which broaden and deepen existing knowledge and be employed with a greater degree of independence.
A diverse range of exciting fieldwork opportunities that support and enhance the curriculum are offered, including residential visits. Year 12 pupils spend four days in Iceland investigating the physical geography of the country.
Geography at Advanced Level in the Sixth Form is a successful option. Local colleges also offer BTEC courses in Travel and Tourism at Key Stage 5. Careers that geography is particularly useful for include planning, surveying, teaching, environmental protection and numerous types of job within the construction and energy sectors.
Develop geographical skills by planning journeys and routes on the OS Mapzone.

Most guys don't jump out of the shower excited to moisturize, but the tide is turning for men's grooming products.
Whether it's showering, shaving, or brushing teeth, more and more men are starting to take more care with their grooming habits.
It's just as important to take care of what's on the outside as it is to take care of the inside. Taking good care of skin, hair, teeth, and nails can help you feel and look your best–and it fights off signs of early aging.
Whether you're splurging on yourself or you're looking for a gift for the special guy in your life, these are some of the most affordable, low commitment men's grooming products. Try out some of these versatile products that you can get from just about anywhere.
You don't have to spend a lot of time, effort, or money to keep your skin and teeth healthy. These bargain buys are the perfect way to keep your shopping trips short and sweet. They're exactly what you need (and nothing more).
Check out our list of the top 10 most affordable products.
Not only is this cleanser cheap, but it packs a powerful punch too. Charcoal can absorb up to 200 times its weight in grime.
It clears your pores of all kinds of dirt and sweat, leaving your skin bright, clean, and free from blemishes.
This cleanser is designed to provide a deep clean, but it doesn't strip your skin of all its moisture. It comes with a hydrating finish that keeps your skin feeling refreshed.
This shave cream has a great smell and feel. It goes on easy, melts into the skin, and helps you achieve a closer, smoother shave.
It also helps to restore and protect your skin barrier–moisturizing your skin and reducing the likelihood of ingrown hairs. For added comfort, you can use it with the Lubricating Shave Oil.
Although a simple cleanser or facial soap is fine for day to day use, exfoliating two or three time a week can help keep your skin healthy.
An exfoliating wash uses small beads to gently scrub your skin. This helps clear away dead skin and allows your skin cells to regenerate faster, clearing up acne marks and sun spots quickly. Exfoliating right before you shave can also help prevent ingrown hairs.
Marlowe's facial scrub has a nice scent along with super-fine beads to gently clean skin without drying it out.
Healthy skin means protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, helping skin cell regeneration, and keeping skin well moisturized. This lotion does all of that–with retinol, hyaluronic acid, and SPF.
With daily use, you can improve the look and feel of your skin. You'll also be making a great investment for the future–keeping those wrinkles at bay for a few more years.
If you have a full on beard or just love your facial hair, keep it lush and healthy with this beard oil.
If fancy beard oils aren't your thing, this product is a simpler solution. It's not overly fragrant and it's only about $10.
It keeps your beard clean and conditioned–like you would your hair–and promotes healthy growth. Keeping your beard soft and healthy will help your hair look better. Another bonus: your partner probably won't complain of beard burn next time they go for a kiss.
If you worry about dry, cracked, or painful lips during the hot summer months, this lip balm is perfect for you.
It's simple and affordable, but it provides intense protection. It moisturizes with Shea butter and protects your lips from the sun with SPF. With a gentle mint fragrance, it feels smooth and moisturizing on the lips without being too greasy.
With this deodorant dry spray, you'll never have to worry about drying your armpits again. The spray goes on without any wetness or clumping.
Plus, it goes on easily and has full coverage, no matter how much hair you have in there. Unlike the intense smell of Axe, this Dove deodorant has a subtle smell. It blocks sweat from coming in rather than just covering up the body odor.
Makeup mirrors aren't just for the ladies.
Having all these grooming products doesn't mean much if you can't see your own face while you use them. Especially when you're doing more delicate grooming rituals–like shaving or flossing–you need to be able to see every detail.

Bias of Brown Girl Magazine
Unpacking Brown Boy Misogyny
Brown boys my age engage in the most violent projections of the patriarchy. The diaspora in New York City represents a microcosm of south Asia — its vibrancy, its colorful culture — but it rears the ugly head too often, whether it be divisions of religions, nationalism, or of course, a very carefully constructed misogyny. It doesn't come from Islam, and yet religion is used as a defense from accountability. It doesn't come from Hinduism, and yet tradition is used as a facade to get away with it. Stop using...

Commentary: Marcus Trauma Center 'Destiny' for Philanthropist
Maria Saporta October 15, 2016 10:49 am
Original Story on WABE by Maria Saporta
Billi and Bernie Marcus in front of the plaque in their honor (By Renay Blumenthal of the Grady Health Foundation)
http://cpa.ds.npr.org/wabe/audio/2016/10/MariaSaportaMarcusTramaCenter.mp3
Grady Hospital dedicated the Marcus Trauma and Emergency Center on Oct. 5 in recognition of philanthropy of Billi and Bernie Marcus, a co-founder of the Home Depot.
In all, the Marcus couple have given a total of $50 million to Grady, which also went to the establishment of the Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Center.
The biggest disappointment in Bernie Marcus' life was when he was accepted to Harvard's medical school, because his family could not afford the $10,000 tuition.
And he wasn't eligible for a scholarship because Harvard had already met its 10 percent quota of Jewish students.
Marcus had to set aside his dream of becoming a doctor and settled on becoming a pharmacist.
"I could have been somebody," Marcus joked with me at the Grady dedication ceremony.
Marcus did become somebody. After being fired from Handy Dan, a home center retailer, Marcus and his colleague, Arthur Blank, decided to launch their own chain of home improvement mega stores.
The chain, Home Depot, was founded in Atlanta in 1978 and the two became billionaires.
But Marcus never forgot his first dream – of saving lives.
He and his wife have donated generously to Marcus Autism Center, Piedmont Hospital, the Shepherd Center and to Grady Hospital.
Marcus described his missed opportunity to become a doctor as "bashert," which is Yiddish for "destiny."
His contributions to Grady and the dedication of the Marcus Trauma and Emergency Center has helped fulfill his destiny.
Bernie Marcus was destined to save people's lives.

Rehab In Downtown Fort Smith Juxtaposing Historic With Modern Design
Architectural resurrection of the 102-year-old Friedman-Mincer Building in downtown Fort Smith will come with a juxtaposition of modern design and early 19th-century grandeur.
Undertaken by Tim Maddox of deMx architecture in Fayetteville, the $2 million restoration project of "Texas Corner" by ProPak Logistics founder and president Steve Clark is one of the largest spaces in the state being rehabilitated, according to Mark Christ of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.
Known to many as the OTASCO building (Oklahoma Tire and Service Co.) the 24,000-square-foot, three-story building at 1100 Garrison Ave. has sat unoccupied for more than 30 years years and was nearly demolished. According to Fort Smith City Collections Manager Chuck Guillory, the last known business to occupy the building was a bridal shop in the early 1980s.
Texas Corner will serve as ProPak Logistics headquarters for 40 employees by the end of next summer, with an 8,000-square-foot first floor to be leased to a future occupant. The company has 1,500 employees nationwide. ProPak headquarters is at the top of Arvest Tower on Rogers Avenue. The company provides logistics, transportation, warehousing and supply chain management services to locations in 19 states.
ProPak has been growing significantly in recent years, Clark said. Investing in a home of its own had been in the works for some time. Clark, appointed to the Central Business Improvement District Commission this year, said he saw downtown as a viable alternative to moving farther out.
"I've always taken the position that too much of our rich architectural history has already been destroyed in the name of progress," Clark said at a recent CBID meeting. "To me that discounts the conversation about the future when you don't respect the monuments of the past."
Project Could Be 'Catalyst'
Maddox says the Texas Corner project is his firm's largest historic renovation project to date, and the first in which they are applying for both federal and state tax credits. As the building is on the National Register of Historic Places, the renovation is eligible for up to 45 percent credit — 20 percent state and 25 percent federal.
At Texas Corner, the interior of the building had been gutted by the previous owners and only the structural elements remained. The roof and third floor were partially collapsed. A community outpour surged to save the building. Richard Griffin, chairman of the CBID, called for another review of the building after its former owners wanted to demolish it.
John T. McIntosh, a Fort Smith native and advertising consultant, noted that he used to buy bicycles at the old OTASCO. He said the project should help spur additional redevelopments downtown.
"These kinds of commitments by local businesses is what will keep downtown alive," McIntosh said. "People that work downtown are more likely to shop downtown, eat downtown and bring their friends downtown."
The first floor of Texas Corner is being designed to house any number of businesses, including a restaurant, Clark said. Parking also has been secured for employees in the surrounding two-block radius.
Maddox called Texas Corner a "catalyst project" that can help reinforce other developments along Garrison and Towson avenues, and maybe even across the state.
Maddox wants people to feel an appreciation for the history of the century-old Fort Smith building. The design incorporates a new steel and "glulam" structure within the historic "brick cask" and an opportunity to reclaim existing materials. There were some things discovered "behind the walls," he added.
Throughout the interior of the building, Maddox said the original load bearing brick walls and reclaimed wood 2-by-12 inch joists will stand next to new steel columns and "glulam" wood beams to create an urban loft feel to the office space.
"When you are working with a significant historic structure, you want to respect and reveal that history," Maddox wrote by email. "Through the sensitive juxtaposition of old to new, you can highlight both. This has been our approach at Texas Corner."
In the early days of Fort Smith, its location came to be known as Texas Corner. In his book, "Hidden History of Fort Smith," author and former Times Record reporter Ben Boulden said the name was linked to the designation of what is now Towson Avenue as Texas Road because travelers used it when heading out for that state.
Boulden cites sources that described the area as "rough" and the area populated by "undesirable families."
A history compiled by the Belle Grove Neighborhood Association said the building's namesake, Lewis Friedman, was a Hungarian immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1888 at age 15. He operated a liquor and beer distributorship in the 400 block of Garrison Avenue until it was closed by Prohibition, according to the history. Friedman then began a wholesale tobacco business. City directories from 1919 and 1921 identify Friedman as a seller of cigars, tobacco and candy at 20 S. Sixth St.
He later served as Fort Smith postmaster from around 1930 until his death in 1944.
By next summer on the west end of Garrison Avenue, Griffin Properties will have completed a $3 million redevelopment of the 400 block into Garrison Point West and Breezeway Apartments. The project experienced a setback in late October when thieves tore out two weeks and $20,000 of copper plumbing work.
In 2016, renovation of the former Masonic Temple at 10th and B streets should be complete. Beaty Capital Group financed the purchase earlier this month with a $2.5 million mortgage to Temple Holdings.
Under renovation since early August 2013, the Texas Corner project pushed downtown investment up to $70 million over the past eight years and brought a sense of momentum that was followed this July by the move of Smith Auto Group to the old Town Club location at 720 Garrison Ave.


It's time for another Take Me Back Tuesday.
This picture was taken in either 1998 or 1999. The Hero and I had been together for a year or two. We were in my room after opening Christmas presents. I received the Nintendo 64 from Santa and nearly fell asleep waiting for my turn to play. The stereo and furniture were gifts from my grandparents. I received them prior to Christmas. The daisy comforter probably came from Walmart. There were six picture frames on the stereo and two on the wall. I still have the two larger ones with the original pictures in them. The dead rose was left on my car by an ex-boyfriend with an anonymous card. I recognized his handwriting. The card read 'you know me'. Well, duh! I was sitting in front of the new JanSport backpack I asked for. I don't think those are paint splotches on the wall. I'm pretty sure it's the reflection from the mirrors on the headboard. I guess that's it.
Definitely a reflection from the mirror, unless you painted The Hero's silhouette on the wall. I have to say I'm very excited I knew how to spell silhouette. Go me...lol!
That's so funny! For some reason 1998 seems like yesterday for me! Love your blog...very different! Stopping by from SITS! Following you now!
HA! That's so funny! And too true.
LOoks VERY similar to my old room!
I LOVE these pictures from people who are my age or close, like you! Cuz I look at em and I see at least 3 pictures that are the same exact style as some that I have.
Picture of me and boyfriend in my room, check.
I used to have a stereo like that! Wow, electronics have changed sooo much in ten years!
I remember having to wait hours for my turn to play, too. Ah, the good old days!


I am not sure why my legs just won't swing out of bed in the morning…maybe tomorrow will be the lucky day!
I settled for 3 morning miles – the last one with the pup! My tapering legs are finding some faster paces easily…so I really need to slow down!! But it does help with the pup…she is a speedy one!
Since we are in the wilderness, I didn't have cell signal for a couple days – no Instagram snips to show for : ) Either way, my upcoming blog post about the weekend will show some of the amazing views!
I ran around the lake a little bit, planned on 10 miles, but got back to camp with over 5 and decided to call it a day! The elevation was getting to me a little and I didn't want to spend hours away from the family when this trip was not about me… Breakfast was ready when I came through to get more water and I just decided to stop.
Plus, the hubs and I went on the hiking trail and around 500′ up the mountain! I am not sure I thought I would ever be able to run or explore with my hubs – but his new found fitness is changing that!
I just hope that I won't stop at the main aid station next weekend when I am only halfway though my race!
Oh boy! This week is my big race!!
Oh well, ready or not, the day is coming soon! I will earn that amazing mug!!
While my current plan is directed at my first 50m attempt this coming weekend, I am also thinking about my next running event this fall!
I will be running the Kansas City Marathon as a BibRave Pro on October 21st!
Have you registered? If not, you should use the offer "BIBRAVE17" at checkout for 15% off your KCM distance of choice!
Not ready for a marathon? Register for the 5K, 10K, or half marathon distances too!
I'll see you on course! I'll be sporting the BibRave ORANGE! Check out why I think you should run the KCM and what I am looking forward to this year!
I'm looking forward to seeing your 50 miler!! I am planning on doing the Mohican 50 mile trail race (in Ohio) next June. It will be my first. Good luck on your race!!!
Yay! I am anxiously awaiting this weekend…eekkk! Where did the last 18 weeks go?!
Seemed like a long time when it all started, right? haha Good luck!!
I love that you pick your pup up for a few miles. I'm sure she loves that!
Sounds like a great week! When we were in UT, I did my last long run and then I just hiked until the race. 🙂 Well, I did do one run, but yeah, that elevation can get to you!
I hope you are having a great taper week and good luck with the race!
Thanks! The elevation got to me a little the second day…and then we were headed home soon after! Not too shabby!
Hey, if you were going to take a chill week, this is the week to do it, right? WOOHOO for race week!!!
Oh boy! I wish I had some major miles to run this week…the cooler temps are SOOOO tempting!
Yay for race week! Ps. Your dog is absolutely ADORABLE!
