There are seven games on Wednesday night's fantasy basketball slate, highlighted by the first meeting of the season between James Harden ($11,700) and his Rockets and Kawhi Leonard's ($9,700) Clippers. Both teams enter the matchup a strong 7-3 after their first 10 games, setting up a potential Western Conference Finals preview. The Celtics (8-1) and Lakers (8-2) are also off to great starts as they host the Wizards and Warriors, respectively.
With no shortage of big-name stars including The Beard, Kawhi and five others with salaries over $9K, you'll need to find some salary-saving options that help stretch your budget while still offering good production. To help you in your search of the bargain bin, check out my top four under $4K for this Wednesday.
PG TREY BURKE, PHI at ORL, $3,900
The 76ers are one of three teams finishing out a back-to-back set Wednesday night, so monitor the news carefully to see if Philadelphia rests any of its regulars. Burke actually sat out Tuesday with a calf injury but said he'll be ready to go for this matchup with his former team, the Magic. In addition to the potential revenge narrative, another reason to give Burke consideration is he could get extra work since Ben Simmons ($6,800) played 35 minutes in his return from an AC joint sprain Tuesday.
Burke has played only two games since joining the Sixers but has put up decent numbers in each. He had 12 points, five rebounds, four assists and 28.25 DKFP in his most recent contest, which was Sunday against Charlotte. If Simmons is out or limited, Burke will have a high ceiling and also could thrive in garbage time if the game gets lopsided. Double-check his status and see what the Sixers are planning to do before tip-off, but he deserves a look if things line up his way.
PF/C ROBERT WILLIAMS, BOS vs. WAS, $3,900
During the Celtics' hot start, Williams and Daniel Theis ($4,800; finger) have been manning the middle and providing strong defense and limited offense. Enes Kanter ($4,600) just returned from a seven-game absence and will crowd the rotation, which could limit Williams' fantasy upside. However, with Theis doubtful against the Wizards, the logjam should be eased quite a bit, and Time Lord should be set up for plenty of minutes.
Williams had one of his best games as a pro Saturday in San Antonio, finishing with 34.75 DKFP on 11 points, seven rebounds, six blocks and two assists in 22 minutes. He only played 17 minutes against Dallas on Monday but still had a solid 13.25 DKFP. With 20-plus minutes likely coming his way in this matchup against the Wizards, Williams is a low-risk option with a nice ceiling, provided Theis is ruled out.
C JAVALE MCGEE, LAL vs. GS, $3,700
Minutes have been hard to come by for McGee, but he has continued to produce when he's on the floor and could get extra run against his former team as the Warriors roll into Los Angeles. McGee only needed 11 minutes to put together 20.25 DKFP against the Suns on 11 points, three rebounds and three assists. He's battling for playing time with Dwight Howard ($4,300) as Anthony Davis ($9,400) also soaks up time at center.
McGee has scored at least nine points in four straight games despite playing no more than 17 minutes in any of those contests. He has more than 20 DKFP in three of those four games, including a season-high 27.5 DKFP against Chicago last Saturday. His role does put a cap on his ceiling, but he has been high-impact when on the floor, so take a look at his potential revenge narrative against the severely injury-depleted Warriors, who continue to lose more players to injury.
SG/SF BEN McLEMORE, HOU vs. LAC, $3,100
McLemore has played in all 10 games for the Rockets but is averaging only 15.3 minutes per game. The situation is different Wednesday, though, since Danuel House Jr. ($4,400, back) is doubtful and Eric Gordon (knee) is out for multiple weeks. McLemore is expected to move all the way into the starting lineup and will get all the minutes he can handle since Houston doesn't have many other options on the wing.
Last week, McLemore did play 30 minutes against Memphis and ended up taking 11 shots. He had a solid 19.75 DKFP despite going just 3-for-10 from long-range. He should have enough volume to be a low-risk play at only $3,100 and has the potential for big returns if he hits more of his shots than he did in that outing. Since we haven't seen him as a starter, there are definitely plenty of unknowns in rolling with McLemore, but he should be able to manage good return on investment just from logging so many minutes.

The Early History of Cincinnati, Ohio
From humble beginnings, the Cincinnati, OH area came to be called the "Queen City of the West". Although not west by today's geographic standards, Cincinnati was very west back in the late 1700s, when virtually all of the country was east of Cincinnati. In 1789, Israel Ludlow, Robert Patterson, and Matthias Denman purchased 800 acres from Mr. John Symmes along the Ohio River. Mr. Symmes previous had purchased over 2 million acres from Congress in 1786 in hopes of getting rich by selling it off piecemeal.
The purchasers put their land into action by surveying it and establish a town. In early 1790, Mr. Ludlow had plotted the town, dividing it into city lots and country lots. The town grew, but slowly at first. Months after settling Losantville, there were only 30 homesteaders. In late 1790, the village grew more quickly. Further land purchases and development provided a pathway for further settlement. By the end of that year, there were almost 500 citizens.
Law and order were not readily provided back in Cincinnati at that time. The settlers had to organize, forming a court system and standing up a sheriff. However, soldiers often had to establish marshal law when the civil law was not quite ready. This, however, created tensions between the citizens and local American Indians, especially a tribe called the Shawnees. Further lawlessness was created by alcohol were citizen distilled their own using corn.
In 1790 and 1791, city leaders had a hard time enforcing the law and faced defeat at the hands of the Indians, causing many settlers to flee Cincinnati fearing a return to savage times. Despite this, many did stay, and the town continued to flourish and grow. Still, in the late 1790s, commerce took off and there were over 30 warehouses along Cincinnati town lines providing storage needs for businesses and citizens.
In the early 1800s, Cincinnati had grown to over 1,000 inhabitants and continued its growth patterns for the next few decades. And, Cincinnati had emerged as a major western city, bolstered by its strategic location on the banks of the Ohio River. The river provided its citizen with ample business opportunities due to the transportation industry spanning restaurants, bars, and hotels along the waterfront. With the introduction of steamboats, more transported goods came and went from the docks of the Ohio River.
In these early days, Cincinnati offered the country an early start to intellectual and cultural beginnings. Mr. Daniel Drake establishes the first medical school in Ohio, the Medical College of Ohio and numerous writers, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe called Cincinnati her home As Cincinnati continued to flourish, the mass immigration of Europeans began to flow into Cincinnati, most notably Germans and Greeks. These immigrants would put a mark on the city of Cincinnati that still stands proudly today. From culture to food, Greek and German traditions abound through Cincinnati today. Take a look as you drive around the city and notice these influences even today. From Cincinnati's early beginnings, the history of the city is still very visible today.

Over the last couple of years The Scottish Begonia Society Open Day has become somewhat of a pilgrimage to us – not just to see some fantastic flowers and gardens but to renew friendships and socialise with some great people as well. In the past The Scottish Begonia Society's Open Day has been held at some great venues like in 2009 when myself and Les Smith took the scenic route to Willy Muir's home when they held their Open Day there (in other words we found a different way to get there). The next year it was held at Drew and Sheena Somerville's home, and yes we ended up there as well.
Over the last couple of years John Hamilton's home has been the venue for their Open Day.
But before we go to Johns we always drop in to see Robert Nelson at his home to check up on him and his plants.
We had to sign off one of our party as "authorised absence unpaid", as Vincent Potts was putting on a National Begonia Society Bureau at the Chorley Flower Show over Saturday & Sunday to try and recruit some new members. Peter Sourbutts our Society Vice Chairman was going over to help Vincent man the bureau over the weekend as well. A few weeks ago Bellcross had their Open Day on the Saturday and on Sunday Vincent and Robert Bryce put a National Begonia Society Bureau stand up at the Wilmslow one day Flower Show to try and drum up some new members.
That just left myself and Mr Bryce and Bobby – who is Bobby I hear you ask!!! Well this was a new one for the "travel company" as Bobby was Robert's dog…. Yes, you read that right we took Robert's dog - as Robert did not want to leave him at home alone as Joan and their son where on holiday.
I picked Robert and Bobby up at 08:00 but before we left Robert invited me to have a quick look in his greenhouse. Some varieties were opening up nicely but the majority were just starting to open, his plants were slow and they mirrored mine in a way. My main worry is will they be open in time and Robert echoed the same sentiment.
We left Roberts and hit the M6 motorway at about 08:30 and made good time getting to Robert Nelsons for approx. 10:45hrs.
As we pulled onto Robert's driveway another car pulled up behind us it was George Thompson who had also called in before going on to John Hamilton's.
Robert was at the bottom of his drive when we arrived and on first sight you could tell he was not a happy man or a happy grower at all – he looked a troubled man.
He told us that his plants were terrible and that he would not be showing at Ayr. When we went round the back to his main greenhouse it became all too evident why he felt like he did. His flowers have not grown properly, and he has suffered from many a fault, I did feel sorry for him because I knew how much effort he had but into his growing this year. His plants have suffered badly due to the very inconsiderate weather conditions that he and the rest of us have experienced this year, cold nights warm days lack of sun light etc.
Meanwhile Robert N had let Robert B bring Bobby in so he could have a drink with us, much to the distain of Robert's cats who quickly scarpered and vanished.
After a while Robert took us around the back of his garden to show us his cuttings, and they looked really well – so not all is lost, he could have a great cutting tuber harvest at the end of the year.
Well the visit had come to the end so the five of us including Bobby jumped into our cars and headed to Coalburn and the Master grower himself John Hamilton.
When we arrived at Johns the first two growers we met were Tony Shepherdson and Colin Elsworth who had made the journey across from the North East. After a quick chat with regards a rumour I heard about Tony coming down to the National at Shrewsbury to which he confirmed but then said his flowers were slow just like the same predicament facing Robert Bryce and myself at the moment.
On the side of John's house were a couple of hanging baskets of red flamboyant's that looked really eye catching. I found out that John takes cuttings of his flamboyant tubers early in the year and roots them. Then he puts the rooted cuttings straight into position into his type of hanging basket – this is something I will try this next year.
When I entered Johns greenhouse the first person I met and talked to was Kennedy McQuiston who said he was not happy with his flowers opening – he said his plants and buds were looking great – but when the buds started to open the affects of the weather was causing a number of looped and curled petals and mis-formed small petals (this sounds oh so familiar).
Even Willy Muir complained about how his flowers where opening, and how he had never had so many looped or undeveloped petals and other problems as they opened (it's starting to sound like a common problem now).
Now at this point my gaze was directed to a hanging basket, hanging from the roof of his main greenhouse. As you can see by the picture on the left - is there nothing this man can't grow!!!!!!
At this point I ran into the imposing figure that is Ian Donaldson, the current reigning British Cut Bloom Champion. After telling him about a phone conversation I had with John Chiswell in which John told me about a phone conversation he had had with Ian, then it was more about what Ian didn't say, as when he said his plants were rubbish he winked. That makes me think he is sitting pretty, with a good hand.
George Thompson was another grower who actually said he was happy with his plants!!!! – trust me for a Scottish grower to say he is happy with his plants and not say they are rubbish or "pish" (I am sure this is the way to spell this word that I hear uttered a lot North of the border) is a near modern day miracle….
Ronnie Walsh was another grower who seemed to be happy with his plants, it will be great to see the one and only Ronnie Walsh come down to Ayr and challenge the so called new kids on the block like Ian Donaldson and Kennedy McQuisten for the British Championship at Ayr this year.
Please see the picture on the left, of two great growers - Ronnie Walsh with John Hamilton.
We also had the pleasure of running into Jim Evans and Andy Paterson who had made the trip down to the Open Day.
John Hamilton's greenhouses were spotless resulting Robert Bryce commenting that it's the tidiest he had ever seen them, I must admit I had to agree. Maybe John is getting ready to take on all comers again next year and is getting his "house in order" as they say.
Me, personally I would like to see him try and win the British Championship using his own raisings so to speak. That I think has never been tried, done or achieved before!!!!! – He has won everything else so maybe he needs a new challenge.
John's plants were started late and he has just let them grow – in the picture on the right you can see the main part of his greenhouse with plants in flowers. None of his flowers have been tied back to the stems.
Johns interconnecting propagating greenhouse which has his hotbox in is full of more plants in bud see picture on the right.
Now running the other side of his propagating greenhouse is an "enclosed walkway" which usually houses his small propagating units that he germinates his seed in when he is hybridising.
At the bottom of this walkway houses his misting unit that had been cleared of cuttings and just had plants sat on it – see picture on the left.
Now you may be wondering where all his cuttings have gone!!!!! So I went for a look and believe me what follows could shock some growers….
Running down the outside of his main greenhouse are his cold frames – they are in 6x4ft blocks as you can see by the picture on the right. The picture on the left shows what it looks like under a 4ft section of roof. I doubt you could fit piece of paper between x2 cuttings as they are that tightly packed together and there is not a label in sight, that's right not a label!!!!!
Well time had come to make our farewells and say goodbye, but it's only for 6 days until we will all meet up again at Ayr for the British Championships.
Now I will let you into a little secret and tell you something that will lose any "street cred" I may have had, as my mother is coming to Ayr with me. Yep, when was the last time a Begonia grower took his mother to a show. This is down to Robert Bryce judging and taking his better half Joan with him and Vincent Potts abandoning me to exhibit some plants. That left just me travelling up alone – so my mother made her move…., but oh no that's not the end of it - She has also told me she is coming to Southport with me and maybe Shrewsbury!!!!

Q: How to get a id of string array from Strings.xml without direct id reference I have a number of arrays stored in Strings.xml file in my android project. I want to populate a list from these Arrays based upon a button click. depends upon which button clicked, i need to populate different lists. So the code is very messy by adding a nested if else structure. Is there any way to get the String Array from the Strings.xml where i can call it using a single common method for all. I am keeping the same name for button tag and array name. please help....`
current code is
if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("vacation"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.vacation);
}
else if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("summer"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.summer);
}
else if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("monsoon"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.monsoon);
}
else if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("automn"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.automn);
}
else if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("rainy"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.rainy);
}
else if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("humid"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.humid);
}
else if(submit_button.getTag().toString.equalsIgnoreCase("sunny"){
return getResources().getStringArray(R.array.sunny);
}
else{
return null;
}

A: <string-array name="myarray">
    <item>value1</item>
    <item>value2</item>
    <item>value3</item>
    <item>value4</item>
</string-array>

And in your java code,
String[] MyArray = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.myarray);

I hope this is what you need, If not please let me know.

A: You use this code;
For string:
public static int getImageResourceIDFromName(String tag,
            Context context) {

        int identifier = context.getResources().getIdentifier (tag,"string",context.getPackageName());
        return identifier;
    }

For Array:
public static int getImageResourceIDFromName(String tag,
            Context context) {

        int identifier = context.getResources().getIdentifier (tag,"array",context.getPackageName());
        return identifier;
    }

You need to pass name of identifier then it will return ids of that particular resource it will help you create lots if else statement,

A: use this method to get the array id from array name..
private int getArrayId(String arranameString) {

    int id = this.getResources().getIdentifier(arranameString, "array", this.getPackageName());

    return id;

}

This will return the id of your string array

Simple Experiences: Max's Restaurant
October 3, 2014 Consumer Live	Leave a comment
Chicken is served in many restaurants and even a specialty in a number of them from foreign ones to local dine-ins..
But how about Max's Restaurant? How would you rate 'em?
Well, been to Max just recently and had some Sisig (a Bicolano specialty), Tofu, and the pride of Max's – its fried chicken.
The verdict? At least for the food..
Sisig..
Personally, the sisig was okay, it's worth the order, although I would have wanted it a bit more spicy. And the tofu was just right, not overcooked and not kinda raw. On the other hand, the fried chicken has quite evolved through the years..
Tofu..
What used to be pepperish and juicy has become sort of like it's rival (in terms of chicken not restaurant) in Chooks-to-Go, the surging chicken stand. Soft and saucy.
Max's fried chicken..
Now, mind you, saucy and juicy are different. Saucy is a bit sticky with sauce while juicy is like the meat is not well-done. Depending on your preference, you'd naturally go for what your taste buds crave for, and..
It's juicy for me.

Simple Experiences: Starbucks
September 26, 2014 Consumer Live	Leave a comment
Most people do like coffee, for one, notice how many coffee
shops are in your town? And even coffee vending machines are sprouting just like mushrooms in your neighborhood.
Yet when it comes to coffee shops, can you think of any coffee shop that comes close to Starbucks?
Starbucks – Glorietta 4
Well, this is why people just flocks the resto even at a price.
Then again, not all are the same in terms of this and that as they are franchises. And surprisingly, those in the provinces offers
better service than those in the city.
For instance, Starbucks at Glorietta 4 was just too slow in delivering its goods. And to think of it, t'was just a couple of simple sandwiches that we ordered.
The food we ordered…
More so, the crew was less courteous as compared to the
provincial branches. Could it be that they are just attending to many customers? Ah, if so then they got a
"waiting system problem" at that. Besides, there were only just 3 of us at that time.
Provincial franchises, on the other hand, are more attentive; perhaps because they feel they got a lot to prove. The staff are more careful as they understand the brand that they are carrying.
One time in a provincial branch…
Of course, the food is just about the same, it's standard. Quality and price-wise. Plus, all physical structures do comply to their norm.
At the bottom of that coffee cup, it all just boils down to that customer experience. One more cup.. or never again. Hmm… how was your coffee?

Simple Experiences: Listerine Mouthwash
August 19, 2014 Consumer Live	Leave a comment
Who needs a mouthwash?
Well, we all do unless you're antisocial and more so, if you do not value your teeth. Don't you?
Think about it. Isn't prevention better than cure? So instead of spending thousands on your dentist, why not use even a fraction of it on flosses and mouthwashes?
Yes, there had been a previous controversy on Listerine being an alcohol-containing mouthwash. And? That such was said to contribute to oral cancer..
..which was then rightfully refuted.
Personally, what I do feel after using the mouthwash is that it makes your mouth dry. Like there's really no saliva that wets it. I don't think that's a good feeling. Feels thirsty and sticky.
And because of that dryness, even with the slogan "Kills germs that cause bad breath" – one would even think the protection it provides is only good for a couple of hours.
See?

Product Review: Lenovo G480 laptop
July 4, 2014 Consumer Live	Leave a comment
After just 6 months of use, the Lenovo G480 already showed signs of age. Yes, just 6 months since it was purchased.
Well, the screen just doesn't light up or display anything. Can't be because of the OS, as it's good after fixing it ourselves. Nor because of any preexisting factory defect, as it was tested beforehand besides it's only after 6 months that a malfunction has occurred..
..so, it must be G480's ventilation system rather than the whole motherboard itself – as you could already feel the heat when you stick your palm near the keyboard.
Perhaps Lenovo should try to improve the unit's battery life as an empty batt could be a contributor to its weak ventilation. Still, the more telling inconvenience is the fact that warranty repairs could take 3 weeks since the place where it was bought has no service center.
Hmm… this is one thing manufacturers need to address as well. They shouldn't just get sales partners, instead, they should have technical agreements with these distributors so they are able to fix the laptops themselves.
The key here is not only to make sure of their training but to provide them with enough spare parts in case of replacements. A good monitoring system would help Lenovo.
As for the other tangibles, well, while the laptop is affordable at less than $500 a unit, it's a bit thick and quite heavy..
Do we still need a new model to address these concerns?

Product Review: Tattoo Pocket WiFi
May 20, 2014 Consumer Live	Leave a comment
Most everyone needs to get online today.. Whether for career, business, or social purposes. Unfortunately, not many has good access to the internet..
..it could be because of the area they are in, or simply because one travels a lot.
Though more industrialized countries does not really have such a problem, developing nations still do.
But thanks to a continued advancement in technology, getting online has now become much easier – for one, there's now a pocket WiFi.
More than just going through specs, how about user experience on this one? Hmm…
Tattoo is a Globe-branded device to access the internet which could be a stick, or a pocket WiFi. The stick seems to be on the phase out, so we replace 'em with the much improved pocket WiFi from Huawei.
Tattoo Pocket WiFi
Size is okay with just a little under 4×3 inches in measurement, so it's handy. Accessibility or signal? Fluctuates in some areas but generally stable. As far as speed is concerned, it goes as the signal goes. If the signal is good then you got a speed of about 7mbps, otherwise, it fluctuates a bit more.
Battery is a concern though as the device seems to get quite hot after an hour and a half of use.. So, you got to stop a while to cool it down as a precaution.
Durability? We still have to see..
Lastly, though Huawei E5330Bs-2 also has the ability to connect up to 10 devices, it's still pretty expensive at P1,995. After all, these kinds of gadgets are already all over the planet.
Looking forward to more improvements.

VIDEO: Clash of Clans
Video January 17, 2014 Consumer Live Leave a comment
Today's feature, Clash of Clans is actually an online game but aside from its cute warriors and great graphics, there's something else worth mentioning about this game…
…its video for its TV commercial, "Clash of Clans: You and This Army."
Not bad. With its rich graphics, viewers would definitely be curious about the game. Hey, on YouTube alone, it has captured almost 17M views – that's a feat, a sign that the game and sponsors would really do well.
Now okay, it's a nice game but how many have already developed such? Building villages, fortresses or bases? About wars, strategies, defending and all? Everything is just about the same, right? Just different names and graphics, and in some instances, features.
Yea, the game's real excitement would be on its levels, on "what's next?" … and that is where the battle for "gamers" or users is. In the end, all about "battling boredom."
How about having an offline Clash of Clans option as well? With this, one does not have to look for wifi connections just to play the game. Obviously, when news spreads, it would be quite an experience for the user and a good promotion for the developer…
…regardless of having a TV commercial.

Footwear Review: Chuck Taylor
January 14, 2014 Consumer Live	Leave a comment
Chuck Taylor. This is a "classic" if there's such a term for footwear, particularly for sports or casual shoes. Time passes, styles change, brands come and go.. but Chuck Taylor? It has weathered all revolutions in fashion.
Chucks Low
Yes, we used to see these shoes on basketball players. Well, actually, until now there are those who still wears it when playing. And why not? It's light when you run and sticky when you apply the brakes. Yeah, you don't easily slip with it.. although your ankles need some "wrapping" to prevent injuries (high or low cut) since what covers your foot is basically cloth-like.
True, competition has somewhat phased it out of the basketball court but still, what makes it really cool is its "flexibility."
From the court, it is now used more for strolling or going to school, and even in beaches – wherever, unless it's a formal outing. And sure, it comes in different colors… and designs, of course, built on the same "shoe frame."
Chuck Taylor All-Star collections
Chuck Taylor was introduced in 1917, and back then it was still known as the "All Star"; and it was not until 1923 when Converse incorporated Chuck Taylor (a basketball player, also a salesman) on to its patch.
Ah, it's been a while… but instead of fading away, it's even been emulated. Wow!

What were the latest changes on the platform (code, servers, stack)?
Does it affect a specific user segment (logged in, logged out, geographically located...)?
Is there any documentation for the architecture (physical and logical)?
Is there a monitoring platform? Munin, Zabbix, Nagios, New Relic... Anything will do.
The last two ones are the most convenient sources of information, but don't expect too much: they're also the ones usually painfully absent. Tough luck, make a note to get this corrected and move on.
Not critical, but you'd rather not be troubleshooting a platform others are playing with. One cook in the kitchen is enough.
Always a good thing to look at; combined with the knowledge of who was on the box earlier on. Be responsible by all means, being admin shouldn't allow you to break ones privacy.
While ps aux tends to be pretty verbose, pstree -a gives you a nice condensed view of what is running and who called what.
I tend to prefer running them separately, mainly because I don't like looking at all the services at the same time. netstat -nalp will do to though. Even then, I'd ommit the numeric option (IPs are more readable IMHO).
Identify the running services and whether they're expected to be running or not. Look for the various listening ports. You can always match the PID of the process with the output of ps aux; this can be quite useful especially when you end up with 2 or 3 Java or Erlang processes running concurrently.
We usual prefer to have more or less specialized boxes, with a low number of services running on each one of them. If you see 3 dozens of listening ports you probably should make a mental note of investigating this further and see what can be cleaned up or reorganized.
Any free RAM? Is it swapping?
Is there still some CPU left? How many CPU cores are available on the server? Is one of them overloaded?
What is causing the most load on the box? What is the load average?
Identifying the RAID card (with BBU?), the CPU, the available memory slots. This may give you some hints on potential issues and/or performance improvements.
Is your NIC properly set? Are you running in half-duplex? In 10MBps? Any TX/RX errors?
Checking the disk usage: has the box a filesystem/disk with 100% disk usage?
Is the swap currently in use (si/so)?
What is using the CPU: system? User? Stolen (VM)?
dstat is my all-time favorite. What is using the IO? Is MySQL sucking up the resources? Is it your PHP processes?
How many filesystems are mounted?
What are the filesystem mount options: noatime? default? Have some filesystem been re-mounted as read-only?
Do you have any disk space left?
Is there any big (deleted) files that haven't been flushed yet?
Do you have room to extend a partition if disk space is an issue?
Are your IRQ properly balanced across the CPU? Or is one of the core overloaded because of network interrupts, raid card, ...?
How much is swappinness set to? 60 is good enough for workstations, but when it come to servers this is generally a bad idea: you do not want your server to swap... ever. Otherwise your swapping process will be locked while data is read/written to the disk.
Is conntrack_max set to a high enough number to handle your traffic?
How long do you maintain TCP connections in the various states (TIME_WAIT, ...)?
netstat can be a bit slow to display all the existing connections, you may want to use ss instead to get a summary.
Have a look at Linux TCP tuning for some more pointer as to how to tune your network stack.
Look for any error or warning messages; is it spitting issues about the number of connections in your conntrack being too high?
Do you see any hardware error, or filesystem error?
Can you correlate the time from those events with the information provided beforehand?
Is there any cron job that is running too often?
Is there some user's cron that is "hidden" to the common eyes?
Was there a backup of some sort running at the time of the issue?
Apache & Nginx; chase down access and error logs, look for 5xx errors, look for possible limit_zone errors.
MySQL; look for errors in the mysql.log, trace of corrupted tables, innodb repair process in progress. Looks for slow logs and define if there is disk/index/query issues.
PHP-FPM; if you have php-slow logs on, dig in and try to find errors (php, mysql, memcache, ...). If not, set it on.
Varnish; in varnishlog and varnishstat, check your hit/miss ratio. Are you missing some rules in your config that let end-users hit your backend instead?
HA-Proxy; what is your backend status? Are your health-checks successful? Do you hit your max queue size on the frontend or your backends?
Whether the issue seems to be related to IO/hardware/networking or configuration (bad code, kernel tuning, ...).
Whether there's a pattern you recognize: for example a bad use of the DB indexes, or too many apache workers.
You may even have found the actual root cause. If not, you should be in a good place to start digging further, with the knowledge that you've covered the obvious.

Red Lipstick and Rape Culture
Steph Send an email April 30, 2015
Trigger Warning: Content related to sexual violence, rape culture and misogyny
Why are you wearing red lipstick, Steph?
Let me tell you about it.
During the month of April, I participate in the Red My Lips campaign, a worldwide awareness campaign, which seeks to draw attention to sexual violence, demonstrate solidarity and support for survivors and start important conversations. I participate by wearing red lipstick, posting images of myself on social media and telling everyone who asks why and about my hopes for a future with no sexual violence, where survivors are heard and can heal, and where rapists are held accountable. And to send the message that it's never okay to blame a victim, no matter what she is wearing.
Over the past month, I have had many opportunities to educate and raise awareness about this issue that is so important to me as a survivor and an advocate. I have participated in several events and conversations about sexual violence, posted pictures online and contributed to #RedMyLips. Then, last week I received an unexpected message in my inbox in response to an article about #RedMyLips and victim blaming.
Names and images have been blocked to protect privacy
I was floored. I had no idea what to say. This wasn't from a random dude on Facebook or OKC. It was from a former coworker with whom I had worked at a feminist organization and a friend. He told me I was sexy? In response to a post about sexual assault awareness? My mind rapidly conceived 100 responses:
Really?!
Come on?!
You do realize that you said this in response to my post about sexual assault awareness month?!?
Dude!
Shut the fuck up!
Are you serious? You can't be serious. Please don't be serious…
As one of my GP colleagues put it, "OMFG. If you sat down with a committee and a white board and brainstormed for an hour about how to come up with a MORE inappropriate response, I don't think you could."
And then, the urge to forgive his blunder, excuse it and even to be grateful. Because, society has taught me that compliments are to be appreciated. That I should be pleased when a man thinks I am attractive. Even a former coworker. That it should make me feel good. That I should say, "thank you."
*Vomit*
I did none of these things. But, it did motivate me to write this post, so thanks, I guess. /sarcasm
Things like this happen every day in our culture. These microaggressions marginalize women and girls and make us feel uncomfortable and small. And worse, we unconsciously participate in them because we are conditioned to accept them as a norm. They seem small, but the cumulative impact is huge.
every time someone calls a female doctor – "nurse" or assumes that the female engineer must be the secretary,
or the auto repair guy asks to speak with a woman's husband or father,
or a teacher has the boys make pirate hats and the girls make princess ones and won't allow a girl to make a pirate one, because they are "for boys,"
or the furnace inspector tries to give a woman his phone number when alone in her home with her
or someone compliments a little girl by telling her she's pretty, while telling her brother that he's smart or athletic,
or an assertive female manager is labeled as a bitch, while her male counterpart is described as a leader,
or a woman gets catcalled as she walks down the street,
or a school dress code only applies to girls and implies that they should be responsible for the actions of boys.
or a man tells his female coworker that she should use her feminine wiles to influence someone,
or companies create and market pink toys reinforcing traditional gender roles to girls,
or someone addresses an invitation to two doctors who are married to each other to Dr. and Mrs.,
or a man in a meeting interrupts a woman and takes over,
or someone uses the phrase "like a girl" to refer to something less than perfect,
or someone calls a group of adult women professionals girls,
or someone congratulates a dad for watching his kids for four hours, while ignoring the fact that their mother cares for them for the remaining 164 hours of the week,
or Budweiser decides to print the phrase: "The perfect beer for removing "No" from your vocabulary for the night" on their beer label,
or a bar prints t-shirts that read: "We are not responsible for lost or stolen virginity,"
or someone suggests a woman keep her legs closed if she wants to avoid pregnancy,
or someone questions a rape victim about the clothes or lipstick they were wearing when they were raped.
All of these examples and the countless other examples of misogyny in daily life contribute to rape culture. Contribute to a world where women and girls are less than, and where victims are blamed. That is wrong.
I don't wear red lipstick to be sexy. I wear red lipstick to raise awareness.
To draw attention to the fact that every 107 seconds someone is sexually assaulted in the United States,
One out of five college women experience sexual violence,
More than 2/3 of sexual assaults are never reported to the police, and
98% of rapists will never spend a day in jail
I wear red lipstick to give a voice to survivors. My colleagues at Grounded Parents have joined me. We don't want you to think we are sexy, we want you to think about sexual violence and rape culture, to question the way our society treats women and girls, to rage about it, and to be motivated to fight with us. #RedMyLips

Hanoumatoi says:
Or someone addresses a letter to a married couple as Mr. and Mrs Hisname Lastname.
Or someone in one of those schools with the female only dress code makes a public example of any of the girls thought to possibly violate the dress code.
Or someone starts a social movement which pretends to be about ethics and is really just about slut shaming his ex-girlfriend.
Or when a bunch of people join a social movement because there's no way these women are real gamers or designers and they're ruining everything for everyone (that looks and thinks just like them).
Or some guy named Hanoumatoi asks a coworker why she wore uncomfortable shoes, forgetting his ludicrous privilege in being allowed to wear comfortable flats every day. I did that today, then realized how dumb I was being, after she complained about them. Of course she wore uncomfortable shoes, and I shouldn't question that, because that's what's expected of her. I should empathize, not criticize.
Good for you! Seriously, imagine how much kinder our world would be if people tried for empathy.
Kavin Senapathy says:
That happens to me all the time, and I didn't change my last name…or people assume that my last name is my husband's name. No.
Jon Brewer says:
I know a woman who's biracial, but she takes after her mother in terms of appearance, but still has her father's name, but everyone thinks it's her husband's name because of that.
norah says:
Ugh, my partner's family members keep addressing mail to us with his last name for both of us. They also for a long time assumed that we would eventually marry (and apparently that I would change my last name if we did).
kyrosion says:
Bluh, my mom recently sent me and my husband a letter addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Husband's Full Name. I'm still not sure how to go about the inevitable "Mom, even though you call me my sister's name all the time, I'm relatively certain that you do in fact know what my name is, please write it on the damn envelope next time, as husband and I did not actually fuse into a weird conglomerate spouse-creature when we got married, and I'm pretty sure you know that too, since you were there" conversation.

Assad Used Chlorine in May Chemical Weapon Attack on Syria's Idlib, Says Pompeo
Regime is responsible for 'innumerable atrocities,' some of which rise to the level of war crimes and crimes against humanity, U.S. state secretary claims
President Bashar Assad delivers a speech in Damascus, February 17, 2019.Handout / Syrian Presidency Face
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that the United States had concluded the government of President Bashir Assad in Syria had used chlorine as a chemical weapon in a May attack as part of its battle for Idlib.
"The Assad regime is responsible for innumerable atrocities some of which rise to the level of war crimes and crimes against humanity," Pompeo told a news conference. "Today I am announcing that the United States has concluded that the Assad regime used chlorine as a chemical weapon on May 19."
A few days after the May attack, the U.S. State Department said they saw signs of the regime using chemical weapons in northwest Syria.
"We are still gathering information on this incident, but we repeat our warning that if the Assad regime uses chemical weapons, the United States and our allies will respond quickly and appropriately," State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement.
Ortagus said the alleged attack was part of a violent campaign by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces violating a ceasefire that has protected several million civilians in the greater Idlib area.

bell hooks is a scholar-in-residence at the New School in New York City this month and this week talked with none other than Laverne Cox in front of a packed crowd.
hooks voiced criticism of the show Orange is the New Black, saying that the backstories of the characters "seduce you into thinking that there is a kind humanity operating" where there is actually a lot of cruelness being acted out. Cox explained that the show has helped her feel comfortable speaking about race and oppression in public. When Cox first started getting famous, she said, her friend Janet Mock pointed out, "You speak so eloquently about race and yet you so rarely talk about it publicly." That made Cox realize she was afraid to use her public platform to talk about race. "I was painfully aware that it scares me to go on national television and use the phrase 'imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy.' I was like, 'I'm already black and trans, this is enough for people. I can't be too political.'" Cox went on to say that because Orange is the New Black is set in a prison, it's inherently political. That gave her a chance to start talking about politics in interviews. "I was like, 'Okay, I can talk about incarceration, I can talk about race.' It gave me permission to go there. I found the more I go there, the more I'm connecting with a lot of folks and a lot of folks are hearing truth in that," said Cox.
The conversation went in a lot of interesting directions, but later turned to Cox's expression of femininity. "One of the issues I think that many people have with trans women is the sense of a traditional femininity being called out and reveled in—a femininity that many feminist women feel, 'Oh, we've been trying to get away from that,'" said hooks.
Watch the whole conversation right here, the entire thing is great.

Neal Isley of Point of Connection Ministry explains his program for transformational housing to a crowd of about 50 Wallowa County residents.
It's been a long wait for Neal Isley, president of Point of Connection Ministries, located outside the Joseph city limits. Nearly four years ago he started on a dream to provide transformational housing for men recovering from drug and alcohol issues to give them guidance and an opportunity to become productive members of society.
"It's been a long time through some challenging issues," Isley said.
In 2016, the planning commission denied Isley's conditional use permit to provide transitional housing. He appealed the decision to the county's board of commissioners, which upheld the decision. At that point, Corrine had to secure an attorney to appeal that decision to the state's Land Use Board of Appeals. First Liberty Institute, a religious liberty law firm from Plano, Texas, took the case and put together a legal team to represent the ministry.
The team secured the services of Mike Robinson, one of the premiere land use attorneys in the state. Robinson thought the ministry had a very strong and winnable case, as did the Texas firm. When the case proceeded to LUBA, the county, through an outside attorney, approached the ministry about doing an "outside remand." In other words, bringing it back to the county where it would probably get approval.
The ministry withdrew the case and brought it back to the county only to find yet more hoops to jump through. The process slowed considerably. Not just because of the county, but the ministry's attorney was working pro-bono.
"When he gets busy, our stuff gets bumped," Isley said.
"Of course, if you start looking at what could happen, there's no end to the limits," Isley said. "It's been amazing, listening to people speak at these hearings about some of the things they believe." Isley gave an example from one of the hearings where a citizen said he heard the ministry works with chaplains at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario to call the warden and send inmates to the ministry.
Isley said that during his initial attempt, neighbors started a rumor that ministry residents would live in run-down housing with no supervision, living for free and doing nothing. He also heard he'd be taking death row inmates to put them back into society.
"That's never been our intent; we're not a homeless shelter," Isley said. "We are a place for people to come and change if they want to." What troubles Isley most is that he's a member of a fourth-generation family and people wouldn't approach him with concerns, but instead ranted at planning commission meetings. The ministry also tried holding informational meetings but got not takers.
"What we're doing is making our community safer," Isley said. He added that only one person spoke against the ministry at the March 26 planning commission meeting.
Why does Isley think the commission approved the housing this time around? He thinks some of it had to do with the fact that he didn't have an attorney present the first time around. He said the differences between his first and second applications were minimal.
"We shored up a couple of things in case we ended up in court in the future, but it was basically the same application," he said. "They were looking at First Liberty Institute and Mike Robinson and saying, 'We don't want to take these guys on. It might cost the county some money.'" County planning department director, Franz Goebel, also smoothed the path with a staff report to the commission that suggested if the conditional use permit was denied or restrictions/conditions above requiring the ministry to register as community based structured housing were added, it could be construed as discrimination.
"We are a faith-based organization and we offer Christian services, but the main focus of our ministry is transformational housing." To that end, with the permit approval, Isley has already contacted the state's Community-Based Structured Housing branch of the Oregon Health Authority and has already started to fill out paperwork to get the ball rolling. His resident building needs inspections by several state agencies, and he needs staff. He expects to be fully certified for residents by Aug. 1.
"We want to have everything in place before we help guys get started," Isley said.
The housing will run similar to Oxford House, which is a community-based, mutual-help residential community for high-risk substance abuse individuals. Someone in the program oversees the house with decisions made by vote of the house members.
The transformational housing program will be set up for 4-15 men.
Isley knows problems about addiction. He said he started drinking at his high school graduation party and didn't stop until he was 34.
"It ruined my life," he said. "I've walked and helped a lot of people since then in my recovery process." He said one of the things he learned along the way was having a new group of people for support in the new lifestyle. He found at one point that every relationship he had revolved around alcohol. "No wonder I drank," he said.
Isley noted that anyone coming into the program from the county's parole and probation must sign two contracts. Not only do they have their probation contracts, but they must also sign a contract with the ministry that calls for expulsion for non-compliance with either probation or house regulations. Those residents will sign a similar contract with parole and probation.
"We have curfews and all these things," he said. "If someone doesn't check in at 9 p.m., we'll get a phone call and know something's going on, and they'll be explaining it as soon as they're found." He added that relapse is a often a part of recovery, but the group can hopefully contain the problem quickly and minimize damage.
The ministry director said he's aware that some still harbor suspicions about his motives, and they are welcome to sit down with him to discuss the program. He said that those who ask for information are generally surprised and support his mission.

Гоукер Хайнд () — британський легкий бомбардувальник, що перебував на озброєнні Королівських ВПС Великої Британії в міжвоєнний період. Літак розроблявся на базі легкого бомбардувальника Hawker Hart як тимчасова заміна останнього, до прийняття на озброєння Fairey Battle.

Історія

З початком розширення Королівських ВПС Великої Британії в 1934 році міністерство авіації Великої Британії видало специфікацію G.7/34 на створення легкого бомбардувальника як тимчасову міру, допоки заплановані Fairey Battle і Bristol Blenheim не були готові. Hawker Aircraft вирішила запропонувати ще одну варіацію свого легкого бомбардувальника Hawker Hart, але з новим двигуном Rolls-Royce Kestrel V. Окрім двигуна були перероблені кабіни пілота і бомбардира, останній тепер міг розіщуватись лежачи для зручності огляду, а також додано заднє колесо шасі замість стандарної лижі.

Прототип літака, що отримав назву «Хайнд» (), вперше піднявся в повітря 12 вересня 1934 року, а через рік 4 вересня в повітря піднявся серійний літак. Того ж року «Хайнди» почали надходити на озброєння. Першим літаки отримала 21-а ескадрилья, незабаром 18-а і 34-а. «Хайнд» виготовлялись надзвичайно швидко і весною 1937 року Бомбардувальне командування мало 338 літаків, ще 114 були під контролем семи допоміжних ескадрилей. Того ж року, «Хайнди» почали замінятись новішими бомбардувальниками, але з'явилась потреба в навчальних бомбардувальників для резерву. Для цього з літака знімалось озброєння, додавалось подвоєне керування, а також відкидну накидку для тренування польотів за приладами.

Окрім Британії «Хайнд» також виготовлявся на експорт для Афганістану, Латвії, Ірану, Португалії, Швейцарії і Югославії. Експортні варіанти часто оснащувались іншими двигунами на замовлення, зокрема Bristol Mercury VIII/IX, Gnome-Rhone Mistral K-9 а також іншими варіантами Rolls-Royce Kestrel.

Breaking News! Kroenke's About To Take Shocking Decision
Mikel Arteta is under more pressure than any other modern-day Premier League manager could ever be. There are a lot of reasons for that, precisely speaking, Arsenal sits 15th in the table with just 13 points from the first 11 games. Right now they are just 5 points above the relegation zone. Even Unai Emery's disastrous second season wasn't this bad.
In their previous Premier League fixture more pressure was applied upon Arteta. The Gunners took on Burnley at home with fans coming back into the stadiums. However, the home comfort was of no use rather it turned into more embarrassment for the club. Club captain Aubameyang,did break the deadlock but it was unfortunately and disappointing for Burnley.

The former Dortmund star was inside the Arsenal box defending a corner, unfortunately for him, he headed the corner inside his own net past Leno. Mikel Arteta's side had good chances to take the head in the game but they failed to do just so. This was the Claret's first three points against Arsenal at the Emirates.
This defeat has only added more unwanted records for Arteta, making him so confused and frustrated these time around.
To make matters worse for Arsenal, Granit Xhaka was also sent off. With Arsenal being down to ten men, coming back into the game was even more difficult. Many on social media have called for Arteta to be sacked and Xhaka to be sold by the club. The Swiss international was sent off after a VAR check which displayed that he has grabbed Ashley Westwood's throat.

Kroenke still has faith in the Spaniard. This news comes at a time when top-class managers like Massimiliano Allegri and Mauricio Pochettino are available I have no faith in arteta he is not bfit enough for the future of arsenal. The Arsenal owners want to give more time to the club legend to turn things around. He took over at the club almost a year ago and signed a deal till 2023.

The report has listed that Arteta has plenty of support from within the club and it should not be under estimated. Since his appointment, he has also won two trophies with the club. He won the FA Cup tactically beating the likes of Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Frank Lampard's Chelsea. Then he managed to beat Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool 5-4 on penalties in the Community Shield after a 1-1 draw .he was taking the club to attain a certain level, but it seems otherwise now .

More Than 1,100 Additional Haitian Cholera Victims Join UN Lawsuit
People lay in beds as Haitian health authorities deplored a resurgence of cholera on November 15
New York, USA — As calls for the United Nations to admit liability and compensate the victims of the Haitian cholera epidemic continue, attorneys for the victims in a proposed class action lawsuit filed in Brooklyn, New York, announced on Tuesday that more than 1,100 additional plaintiffs have joined their case, bringing the total number of plaintiffs to more than 2,600.
In an amended complaint filed on Tuesday morning in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, 1,161 plaintiffs were added to the case, which seeks to hold the United Nations accountable for the cholera contagion that has killed more than 9,000 Haitians and sickened approximately 700,000 more. The plaintiffs include several New Yorkers and US citizens who lost family members to the disease, as well as estate representative for deceased parties.
It is universally acknowledged that the UN introduced cholera into Haiti in 2010 when it sent Nepalese peacekeepers to the country without constructing adequate sanitation facilities. The UN has never admitted this, however, and continues to hide behind the notion of immunity to deny responsibility – despite the fact that, according the lawsuit, the UN has curtailed that immunity on numerous occasions.
The Brooklyn lawsuit made news in May, when UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was personally served with the complaint in Midtown Manhattan. Moon was entering an event at the Asia Society when he was handed the court papers by a process server. As a result, the United Nations must answer the allegations of the amended complaint or risk a default judgment.
Brooklyn is home to one of the largest Haitian-born populations in the world outside of Haiti.
"There is great momentum building for those affected by the cholera contagion to receive justice. The UN must finally address its negligent actions," said Dr Tim Howard, lead attorney representing the plaintiffs.
"We hope that the increase in the number of plaintiffs will strengthen our case and bring about more awareness to the plight of hundreds of thousands who have been impacted due to the negligence of the United Nations," said Stanley Alpert, another attorney representing the plaintiffs.
The amended complaint in the Brooklyn lawsuit comes just days before the October 23 oral argument in a separate lawsuit over the same issues filed in the US District Court for the Southern District, located in Manhattan where the United Nations makes its home. It is believed to be the first time issues of United Nations' immunity from lawsuits will be argued in open court.
Originally filed in US District Court in Brooklyn in March 2014, the lawsuit seeks to force the UN to admit responsibility, compensate victims, and bring critical sanitation to the devastated Haitian communities the UN was sworn to protect. The lawsuit included evidence that clearly shows the UN has expressly and repeatedly waived its sovereign immunity, in General Assembly resolutions adopted by the United Nations as a whole, as well as in the agreement the UN made with Haiti.
In its 2004 agreement concerning the status of forces in Haiti, the UN agreed that "[t]hird-party claims for … personal injury, illness or death arising from or directly attributed to [the Stabilization Agreement] shall be settled by the United Nations … and the United Nations shall pay compensation…" In another document referenced in the lawsuit, the UN General Assembly also admits that international law requires the UN to pay compensation for damages resulting from its operations.
United Nations Caused Haitian Cholera Contagion Outbreak
According to the lawsuit, the United National hired a private contractor to ensure proper sanitation in Haiti, where nearly all get their water directly from wells. But the UN engineer-in-charge failed to properly manage the sanitation contractor, and in the end the contractor did nothing to provide an adequate sanitation system. This resulted in the dumping of cholera-infested feces from Nepalese peacekeepers into Haiti's main river.
Investigations by The New England Journal of Medicine and the US Centers for Disease Control point to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti based in Mirebalis as the source of the cholera outbreak. Epidemiological and genome studies have conclusively established the peacekeeping force's role, and United Nations special envoy, former president Bill Clinton, described the stabilization force as "the proximate cause of cholera."
The United Nations' independent expert on human rights, Gustavo Gallon, a respected Columbian jurist, in his 2014 human rights in Haiti annual assessment, admitted that the UN must take responsibility and compensate victims. Gallon called for "diplomatic difficulties" to be resolved to "stop the epidemic" and to "compensate victims fully."
"Silence is the very worst response," Gallon added.
The UN human rights chief, Navi Pillay, also stated that "someone need[s] to pay up for the suffering and havoc wreaked by cholera."
Retired officials, including Canada's ambassador to the UN, Stephen Lewis, have publicly agreed.

I have looked far and wide and can not find a way to convert a dual iso .mov file (the one that flashes between high and low iso) into an HDR file. I have a friend who can do it on windows by following a tutorial. Surely there must be a way to do it on Mac?
literally been looking at this on and off for over 2 years now and its killing me! ha.
anyone at all have an idea of how I can do this?
It would be fine linking said tutorial.
Have you tried using those Windows programs with WINE?
HDR conversion can be done in "Switch"
With switch and MLV App methods of processing both HDR (h.264) and MLV (RAW) do we still need to effectively double the framerate whilst recording?
In regards to MLVApp specifically, to process Dual-ISO. Do we need to check all the relevant boxes in the settings box ie. dual-iso, vertical lines etc. And then check the HDR-MOV_script before export? Is that the correct process? I couldn't find any explanations or documentation for MLVApp regarding Dual ISO processing requirements.
dual iso is not the same as HDR. Even if you shoot with two different iso settings creating flickery footage dual iso is baking in both iso into one image. HDR is not working that way. So if you recorded HDR files meaning every other frame is another iso you can just go ahead and run the app not thinking about fps. The scripts works by processing consecutive frames creating a file with retained fps.
I am testing and mainly just confused with the finer details as I am getting differing results. Totally understand HDR is for h.264 and Dual ISO is for RAW video.
Maybe i'll try and change my main question.
Is the purpose of HDR_MOV script in MLVApp designed for raw video shot with DualISO enabled? I guess i am confused because HDR is supposed to only be used with h.264 - therefore not needing to be processed via MLVApp. What does the HDR_MOV script do in MLVApp?
Who says HDR video is only for H.264? It can be used with raw video.
Upload a sample file or post something more specific of what you are trying to achieve. Can't help further before this.
Still I wonder why you havn't tried my suggested workflows(or maybe you have).
Mlv App only runs mlv files and the script is doing post processing to whatever is exported from the mlv(tiff, mov, avi, mp4 etc).
The exact same script is included with Switch(bash section part).
Danne, it's literally been over 2 years trying to work this out. Thank you so much for sharing all of this! Great to be able to preview the .MLV files in your app and great to be able to put out blended HDR .tiff files from your app!
I haven't worked out how to then put those blended HDR .tiff files into a a .mov or .mp4 housing yet, so thats the next step.
But for now, thank you so so much, really so stoked out on this!!!!
Cool, did you select a prores setting as well before export?

Burning For You: Forget nuclear power, torching trees might just be the answer to our energy needs
Shelved biomass project means finding energy from other sources.
By Eric Flowers
It's been a tough year for renewable energy.
In May, the Bonneville Power Administration curtailed wind power producers in Oregon and Washington to protect BPA's own power sales. Just a few months later, renewable giant Iberdrola announced that it was shelving plans for a $100 million biomass-to-electricity plant in rural Lakeview that had been held up as a model of sustainability. And just last week, a Washington wind-power developer announced that it was abandoning plans for two wind farms near Steens Mountain. Against this backdrop, the cash-strapped Oregon Legislature whittled away at its most generous incentives for renewable energy development.
One of the few bright spots, though, is a technology that is more Christmas Valley than Silicon Valley, so-called biomass thermal energy, which is a fancy way of saying the good ol' practice of burning wood for heat, which after several millennia remains one of the most effective ways of warming our hands and our homes.
In Oregon, there have been more than a dozen small-scale biomass heat projects installed in the past half-decade, including two right here in Deschutes County over the past several months. At a time when other renewable energies are scrambling to justify their existence in the face of decreased demand and ample supply of traditional power sources, biomass, and specifically biomass for heat applications, is a seldom-cited success story. It's a source of frustration for advocates like Phil Chang who has worked on several biomass projects around the region as the natural resource program coordinator for the Bend-based Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council. Chang's projects include a new wood pellet boiler at Sisters High School and another at the new Deschutes Forest Supervisor's Office in Bend. There are several more projects on the drawing board, including more ambitious collaborations with Mt. Bachelor and another for the proposed Deschutes County jail expansion
Working with partners like the Sisters School District and scores of others across the state has convinced Chang that the future of biomass, or at least the near future, probably isn't the highly touted and heavily subsidized power projects that have been proposed in Lakeville and La Pine. Rather, says Chang, the greatest promise for biomass is a series of small-scale and mid-sized projects utilizing biomass both in the form of pellets and wood chips for commercial heating applications.
When taken alone. none of these projects have the economic or environmental impact of a utility-scale project. When taken together, however, the biomass projects represent a potentially significant market for forest material that otherwise goes up in smoke.
But unlike the lofty goals for other renewables, including solar, wind, geothermal and even wave energy, there's been little attention given to the vast market for biomass heating projects. Instead, the biggest incentives have been reserved for biomass-to-electricity projects like the stalled initiatives in both Lakeville and La Pine. But as those projects have grabbed headlines, the small-scale heating projects have continued to make headway in the biomass market.
"This is a technology that makes economic sense on its own two feet. It's highly efficient and yet the policies are definitely stacked against us because biomass isn't sexy and heat isn't sexy," Chang says.
The reality, though, is that many of the utility-scale projects that were touted in the region just a few years ago, including Lakeview and another 25-megawatt plant in La Pine, have stalled, at least temporarily, as energy prices have stagnated. Plans for a wood waste-to-electricity plant show little signs of progress in Warm Springs where the tribe plans to construct a 40-megawatt plant.
There are numerous factors contributing to the waning interest in large-scale wood-powered electricity plants, says Matt Krumenauer, a senior policy analyst with the Oregon Department of Energy.
Increased natural gas production and an ongoing recession that has curtailed the growth of industrial power demand contribute to the market. Politics also play a role. In California, lawmakers have been tweaking the state's renewable energy requirements, raising questions about how much power the state's utilities will have to seek from outside markets.
"That adjustment has created a little bit of uncertainty and when you're investing in a project that costs tens of millions of dollars, uncertainty is not your friend," Krumenauer said.
In Sisters, the total cost of biomass project was roughly $350,00, which the district funded through a combination of pass-through tax credits and a loan from its in-house building fund.
The district expects to recoup that investment in about five years, at which time they will realize annual fuel savings between $35,000 and $60,000. That's a not a big number for a school district like Bend - La Pine, but for Sisters, which operates only three schools, that can be significant. It's the difference between having a music teacher at the middle school or a foreign language at the high school.
It also gives the district some reliable numbers to use when forecasting the budget for the coming year, says Operations Manager Leland Bliss, during a 'tour' of the district's biomass heating facility, which Bliss and Chang refer to as a "boiler in box." The tour consists of cracking the door open on a small cargo container that holds the district's new biomass boiler, a modest construction of iron and aluminum with a cast iron door that, when coaxed open, reveals innards that appear not a whole lot different than your average fireplace.
As far as technology is concerned, this is pretty basic stuff. Wood pellets are stored in and then poured from an adjacent aluminum silo emblazoned with an "Outlaw Energy" logo, a nod to the high school's mascot, The boiler fires the pellets, heating water that is pumped through the school. While the concept is simple, it's also highly efficient. It's possible, says Bliss, that the district will be able to entirely bypass its diesel boilers this winter, further decreasing the district's fuel needs. That amounts to instant savings that can be ploughed directly into the classroom. It also takes some uncertainty out of the annual budgeting process. Unlike the relatively stable prices for wood pellets, fuel prices can fluctuate wildly during the course of a winter depending on weather, the price of crude and a host of other factors.
"I've lived in Oregon my whole live and I've been burning firewood my whole life. It's the most economical fuel you can find," Bliss says.
For Chang, it's about more than one boiler and one school. The goal is to create a small industry around the woody biomass projects. At the moment, no single heat project is going to have much of an effect on the market for forest by-products. But that could change, a few dozen projects located in a defined geographic area could create enough demand for small-diameter trees as well as limbs and other "waste" material to help underwrite large-scale forest restoration, a big selling point for biomass projects in places like Central Oregon.
It's a relative easy sell in far-flung areas like John Day and Burns that don't have access to natural gas lines and instead rely on relatively costly heating oil and propane. Tree-rich Idaho and Montana both have formal "fuels for schools," biomass heating programs. It's a harder sell in urban areas where natural gas costs are typically lower than the cost of wood pellets. But there are opportunities, says Chang. Deschutes County has looked at the cost of doing a biomass boiler as part of the jail expansion and found that it could save the jail money over the long term by running a low-cost wood chip system.
Ironically, a new state law that requires public buildings to dedicate 1.5 percent of the total construction cost to incorporating solar energy could be a major obstacle, says Chang. It's another example of how easy and efficient heat projects often take a back seat to technologies like solar, says Chang.
"Thermal is the forgotten realm," he says, despite the fact that it accounts for roughly one-third of our nation's energy consumption.
Making a Go of It
St. Helen's based SolaGen is one of the few North American manufacturers that builds and installs small-scale commercial biomass heat systems. Founded by Francis Sharron, an engineer and veteran of the Northwest sawmill industry, SolaGen employs about 20 people at its plant in rural northwest Oregon. Sharron built the business with his brother based on work he had done for companies like Weyerhauser that have long used wood waste from their operations to generate heat and electricity.
He estimates that there are three dozen companies in Europe that do what SolaGen is doing in Oregon, most of them on a much larger scale. Sharron said that's because Europe has much higher renewable energy requirements, but also because the cost of fossil fuel is much higher there.
Sharron estimates that his company has installed about 30 biomass thermal systems in the Northwest and he gets more inquiries every week from those interested in the relatively low-cost technology, but financing remains a huge obstacle.
"They are all excited and motivated, but at the end of the day I say, 'This is all fine and dandy, but this will take some money... and that's where the phone goes deadly silent," Sharron says.
While his company is booked through the end of Februray with orders, Sharron says that the "floor has fallen out" of the woody biomass industry as incentives dry up.
At this point, Sharron said he is hoping to capitalize on the momentum created by recent projects, even as the incentives dwindle.
"We've gotten a tremendous amount of interest form schools, courthouses and hospitals that want to jump on the bandwagon," he said. "Unfortunately, it's really tough for them to get the money."
The state of Oregon is aware of the challenges facing the industry, says Krumenauer. Like Sharron, Krumenauer is hoping that the recent spike in biomass power projects will create enough momentum to sustain the industry in the absence of popular programs like the Business Energy Tax Credit. In the meantime, he said his agency and the governor's office are working on ways to continue to support the industry with programs like Gov. Kitzhaber's Cool Schools initiative that will provide low-interest loans to help Oregon schools convert from costly heating oil and propane to biomass.
"There will be less money available through the state's incentive programs than there used to be so that will certainly have an impact. But we're trying to come out with new, creative programs to promote these projects," Krumenauer says.
In rural Lakeview, the news of Iberdrola's decision to shelve the massive biomass project has been met with resignation. The community had high hopes, not just for biomass, but for other renewable technologies, including geothermal, that leaders hoped would help revive the area's diminishing economic base.
Jim Walls, executive director of the Lake County Resource Initiative, spent five years courting and shaping the planned biomass energy plant, beginning with the commission of a locally funded feasibility study and culminating with the breaking of ground last year on the biomass project that was to operate in concert with a newly retooled small-diameter sawmill in town. Walls said he and others had expected the project to deliver dozens of construction jobs during the building phase, as well as dozens more in the operational phase, stretching from the plant to the forest where material would be culled. He started to have doubts in late summer when it seemed progress was slowing, just when it should have been ramping up. Then came the news in October, Spain-based Iberdrola, for whom Lakeville represented its first foray into biomass, had been unable to secure an all-important power purchase agreement. In other words, there was no customer for Lakeville's electricity. Iberdrola announced that it was stopping work on the project indefinitely.
Walls and others in town remain hopeful that demand for electricity will rise in the future and California utilities will be back in the market. In the meantime, though, they are not holding their breath.
"The reality is that when these things get shelved, they're not as easy to un-shelve as people think," Walls says.

The New Year has passed very quickly. It has not been this kind of relaxation for a long time, and I really want the continuation of this atmosphere.
The 2018 stock market is somewhat bleak, with more than 2019 hopes. After all, this market carries too many people's desires and wishes. Jiangnan has always reminded everyone that stable investors can participate in the investment of index funds, and the first 2,500 points index space is far greater than the next. Landmines can be circulated during the second annual report. From January, Jiangnan's index fund 100038 achieved 7.47% of the proceeds. Maybe you are busy in the stock market every day, and you don't necessarily have this benefit. This is also a way of investing, easy and easy, saving you more time and effort. The time and energy saved will be appropriately involved in the trading of commodity futures, and the investment ideas will be broadened. The future investment market will be more abundant.
The first day of the opening year will continue the trend of the year, and will challenge the upper rail area 2630-2650. From the perspective of the income of index funds, the weight sector will continue to be the market stability army, individual stocks will begin to differentiate, and the mood of expecting a good start will continue.
