experience - there is no genral experience, each skill has it's own experience tracking and your rank in a skill is derived from a basic rank due to your stats plus ranks gained though experience.
using skills - when you use a skill you will gain experience in that skill alone, and the amount gained will depend on your rank and difficulty, the higher your rank the less xp you'll gain.
I think Wisdom should be in with spirit, and maybe you should just make 'Mind' intelligence.
Love Spirit though. Karma and luck being in there are great. what's Ghost? But I do think Spirit is an awesome idea. Kind of a 'Z' factor.
Everything sounds great. But I would go for a planscape(ish) setting IMHO.
Most of it sounds good. Perhaps you should reevaluate the ST stat (perhaps to explosive muscle strength, enduring muscle strength and general muscle mass? Would make a lot more sense).

Dude, waaay to complicated for me. D&D, fine - SPECIAL, fine. But this? Far too mant stats to keep track of.
Okay, now that I have some time, I'll post some more.
Try to not make it too complex. I like the whole subclass thing, but I think we really need to make things simpler.
I.e: Take agility as an example. let's say we divide the stat into the main ability (agility in general) and the subclasses. Now, let's say that each time you gain a "level" (yes, I believe there should be some form of leveling), you both get increased agility and "bonus points" to invest in the subclasses. Each of these "bonus points" should count as a whole "main agility point", but *only* for the substat being used. I also believe the scale should be 1-25 (ala D&D).
You could make it more advanced, like the action requiring separate rolls and all that, but that would be *too* much.
I'll try it out if I have the time. Looks really promising.
well since in the begining i started the stats from core stats and the divisions were just supposed to be modifiers, and only later did i realise that there is hardly any difference so i chose to make it like it is now.
Personally, I like the space setting.

I had a bit of a shock as I turned the calendar over to October; the festive season is rapidly approaching and it feels like we've only just left summer behind! How can it be October already?
It may seem early, but now is the time to make sure I have everything planned to make sure I don't leave all of the Christmas preparation to the last minute. There are two family birthdays between now and the festivities starting too so I have to be organised!
Last Christmas I made a lot of my presents and I am hoping to be able to do the same again this year. To make sure I allow myself plenty of time to make everything, I created a 'Knit Wish List' board. I used the fabulous yarn based pattern from the amazing Paper Addicts Pawsome Prints paper pad as the basis of my project as it was perfectly themed.
If you haven't checked out the Paper Addicts range yet, you really must. There are three sizes of paper pad available in the range: 10cm square, perfect for mini die cutting and matting and layering; 6 inch square, perfect for card making; and 12 inch square, ideal for scrapbooking, fussy cutting for toppers or making off the page crafts and 3D projects.
There are six designs available and six more in festive patterns too. At such great prices, these really are a guilt-free way to add to your craft stash. The card at the top of this post was made with the Lost Forest Paper Addicts pad.
For my 'Knit Wish List' I simply trimmed a 12" x 12" sheet down to fit inside a wooden frame, added a topper and border using two contrasting papers and popped it inside the frame. I then added Simply Creative Foil Stickers to the front of the glass and noted down each project using a Dovecraft metallic marker. I will be able to cross off each project when it's finished and wipe the glass clean to start a new list when I have more project ideas.
This month I have also enjoyed the reveal of the new Trimcraft Design team. Whilst it was sad to say goodbye to the ladies leaving the team, I am so pleased for Sam and Claire, the newest recruits.
I have followed both crafters on their social media channels for some time now and have admired their projects and creativity. They will be a welcome addition to the team, joining Grace, Christine and Angela who remain part of the hugely talented team. If you haven't already seen it, we've written a blog post introducing all our Design Team members here.

Renee Zellweger shows Jimmy Fallon her Year 7 cheerleading moves – and one impressive high kick!
Renee Zellweger can still kick it like a high-schooler - see the Bridget Jones's Baby star's impressive moves!
Renee Zellweger has come a long way from Katy, Texas. But the 47-year-old still has a special place in her heart for her quirkily charming hometown.
During the Bridget Jones's Baby star's appearance on The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon asked what one could expect when visiting the fine town of Katy (pop. 15,013). And wouldn't you know it, Renee delivered a laundry list of small-town delights straight out of an '80s coming-of-age flick.
"Back in the day, we would go get Cokes at the meat processing place, right there on Old Katy Road," Renee said dreamily. "We used to hang out at the Whataburger a lot, in the parking lot.
"You swim in the rice wells; that was pretty great. You have to, you know, check for snakes and things like that, but it was a lot of fun."
Renee also fondly remembers her days on the junior-high squad.
"When I wasn't playing basketball or running track, I was a cheerleader," Renee told Jimmy. "The other day I was at a stoplight, and my seventh grade tryout cheer came into my head."
Because this is Jimmy Fallon, this revelation soon turned into a recreation of said cheer – "Get ready! Get set! The Tiger team is the best yet!" – complete with Renee kicking off her heels and performing a VERY impressive high kick.
Jimmy's moves…still need some work.


When I suggested to my family that we visit National Park Hoge Veluwe in the Netherlands, I was thinking about the wonderful art museum and the free bicycles, but I completely forgot that there is also an interesting small natural history museum in the park – or rather, UNDER the park.
"Museonder" is a pun on the Dutch words for "museum" and "under" (which, as you might have guessed, are almost the same as the English words, except under is "onder"). The entire museum is underground, and can be accessed from the visitor center, through a sloping tunnel.
The ceiling of the museum is almost entirely covered in the excavated roots of a 135-year-old tree, and to make it seem even more like you're under a tree, there are models of fox and badger burrows (with taxidermied specimens) under the transparent floor.
The theme of the entire museum is "things underground", from paleontology to shifting plates to ground water. It's a small exhibit, but it's all about the local environment, to teach visitors even more about the park they're in.
I wouldn't go all the way to a national park in the east of the Netherlands just for this museum, but when you're already there, it's definitely worth dropping in!

Zimbabwe tailor made vacation
10 Days excluding flights

"A tailor made tour around Zimbabwe's top highlights, taking in the mighty Victoria Falls as well as the country's best wildlife viewing spots."
Victoria Falls | Hwange National Park |Lake Kariba | Optional rhino tracking in Matusadona National Park
In 2005, a serious drought caused all but a couple of the waterholes in Hwange National Park to dry up. In the absence of any permanent surface water throughout the park, these waterholes are vital to the survival of all animals in the park. That year, over 1000 elephant died along with many thousands of other species. Desperate scenes were witnessed as herds of buffalo and impala, traveling long distances, arrived at a waterhole only to find it dry. All they could do was rest awhile before turning away to search for water elsewhere, or lying down to die. Elephant bullied their way through to hold their trunks at the pumps, depriving smaller animals of any chance to drink. To mitigate this distressing situation in future years, the Friends of Hwange formed a trust to try and keep as many waterholes supplied with water all year round. The Hide Safari Camp is proud to support this endeavour and the other work that Friends of Hwange undertakes. The camp is home to Friends of Hwange staff and helps to raise awareness and funding for the ongoing work.
Along the Park's southern boundary, many mammals fall victim to snaring. The lodge has thus has joined Hwange in combatting the effects of poaching, conducting patrols and removing snares.
A number of schools in the villages that lie on the boundaries of Hwange have been in need of everything from classrooms to chalk. The Safari operator works with Children in the Wilderness and many donors to provide all equipment as well as teacher training and accommodation, so that the children can acquire an education.
In 2008, it was found that many children were getting so little to eat they could not even walk to school. The safari operator, its guests and Children in the Wilderness have since then provided one meal on every school day of the year to the children of five schools on the outskirts of Hwange.
They have in partnership with the local community developed a Responsible Code of Visitor Behaviour that is shared with guests before they go into the community for village visits so as to protect traditional cultures and minimize the impacts of tourism on living culture. They also provide guests with an Insider's Guide to Responsible Safaris which includes important cultural aspects.

This image for me represents a moment of spiritual expansion….in the arrival of a shock (lightning) and the inner Gift offered therein.
A prayer, a true profound beseeching, ( in this case a dramatic scream ), actually contains the help at the very moment of its inception, ( the rainbow).
The figure in repose has her face (representing ego ) veiled, only her third eye (awakened dimension ) is opened, indicating pure receptivity. That eye connects to the eye of the screaming figure, also a part of her, who has reached a point of no return. In that magical moment something transforms…as lightning burns away something un-true, and another layer of Truth is Seen. Its understanding is unveiled in the mirror of reality experienced as it proceeds from this moment. New, free, without reference to the old, not defined by external events.
Well as you know Jan, I have seen this painting in Real Life many times and was always struck with the vivid difference in your style on this one. I saw and felt the general feeling of total upheaval and a breaking point, and yet I didn't see until your comment, the clear symbolism in it, the rainbow, the veil, the scream. It always was a powerful image, from the strong bright colors you chose, to the technique of much more abstract rendering of the main figure(so different from the detailed super-real goddesses) and now years later, I can see in it, what you also see,the reaching of "the point of no return" as you call it, a moment of extreme pain and yet of brilliant transformation. I so enjoyed reading your words(the artist's words) on how now in retrospect you see your own symbolism. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and thought-provoking painting.
Interesting….i also just got an understanding of that image that i didn't have when i painted it. Much clarity has developed in the years since then. I am looking at my art with new eyes….and as another speaks to me…i will post it!
Thank you so much Karima for your encouragement and support.
This painting is such a huge departure from your usual art. Very Picassoesque! I like it! How cool that you can look back and see this painting with a new relevance.
Thank you Vivian….yes it is very different….and to see it with new eyes many years later is quite an interesting journey…all sorts of new Seeings are happening on many fronts of late….fun!
Jan, your paintings are ethereally and viscally alive and very beautiful… The first one you posted here looked like a prim ballerina sitting with an airy fringe hem, waiting to be invited to perform. When you invited the muse, she became pulsingly exultant! I love your paintings and share your delicious enjoyment of oil paint.
Your paintings have a psychologically satisfying presence. When I do portraits, I also enjoy the transformation of a "face" to a window to an infinite spirit during the portrait sitting. Thanks for sharing your process.

Transforming Renovations
Rudimentary deferred maintenance and upgrades at Westridge Elementary School provided opportunities for transformation.
The average public school building is over 40 years old, and most likely has not been significantly improved in over a decade. Public School Districts are faced with the need to replace, or extensively renovate and upgrade their schools. Since the burden of public school capital improvements falls primarily on local communities, voter satisfaction is a critical component to continue to pass bonds to improve our schools. Those involved in K-12 work know the key to a successful school renovation is to meet the bond intent and open for the first day of school. Millions of dollars are spent on deferred maintenance, seismic, security and technology upgrades. These are vital elements to keeping our aging schools safe and relevant for the future, but the community's perception of this success is often dampened when these improvements are nearly invisible.
It is essential for us to look at a school renovation holistically, even when the scope primarily consists of repairs and infrastructure upgrades. Equal to the value of assessing the structure and systems is understanding the values and visions of the staff and community that inhabit the school. Without looking at the big picture and perspectives, many of the best solutions may be overlooked.
In 2017, Lake Oswego School District passed a bond to replace, renovate and upgrade their schools. They identified three elementary schools to keep and upgrade for long-term use, one of which is Westridge Elementary School. Nestled in the trees far above the lake, this single-story school for approximately 450 students had received maintenance and repairs over its forty years, but no significant investments. The building was slated for a full roof replacement, new windows, mechanical and plumbing overhauls, technology and security upgrades, as well as District-elected full seismic upgrades, and a new makerspace. When FFA assessed the building, we also met with the staff and community to help us understand their unique viewpoints and aspirations regarding the school.
As we developed concepts with stakeholders to renovate undersized restrooms and seismically upgrade the building, we looked for opportunities to improve the environment in small ways through strategic renovations. During our assessments and meetings with stakeholders, it became clear two spaces presented opportunities for significant improvements.
The main entry canopy at Westridge had a wood frame which was found to have significant rot requiring extensive replacement. At the same time, there was no sense of arrival to the school. The entry canopy was low and blocked natural light, making the approach feel like entering a tunnel. FFA reviewed the cost of repairing the canopy with the owner's team along with the alternative that they could use those same funds toward a new canopy which would provide a new welcoming identity for the school. We looked at concepts with the District, agreeing it was more valuable to invest in a new canopy to improve the presence of the school than to expend substantial resources to fix an unfitting and failing canopy.
The library was another area of the school with unseen opportunities. Centrally located, both physically and fundamentally, the library was to receive seismic upgrades, but it had other space planning issues. The library space was chopped up with partial walls, a stairway, and a loft which divided the library and blocked light from the perimeter clerestory windows. A former reading loft occupying one side of the library was not usable for the students and was instead functioning as a work area for the teaching assistants and for storage. The seismic assessment further determined that partial height walls and the loft would require significant work for the seismic improvements. The loft would need to nearly be rebuilt, costly work for a space that was not fully accessible.
Our team saw that these challenges could also be opportunities for significant improvements to the learning environment. We knew that the staff and community felt that the library was the "heart of the school" and our team saw an opportunity to make the architecture match their values. Instead of investing in seismically bracing the partial walls, chopped up rooms, and loft, we proposed to remove them to make the library feel bigger and allowed natural light into the space. Flexible meeting rooms and work areas were provided at one edge to accommodate various uses. The library was made safer, more functional, and the clutter had been removed to reveal the heart of their school.
Understanding the values and visions of the community and the School District for Westridge school was vital to FFA's design of their renovation. It provided a framework to analyze the needed maintenance and infrastructure upgrade work and find where we could add value to the school. Identifying these opportunities for the District allowed us to help them to consider how they could more effectively use their funds.
This fall when the doors open at Westridge Elementary School, the students and community will be able to appreciate how their bond funded improvements have made significant impacts to the experience and learning environment of their school.

Q: React Native WebRTC setRemoteDescription error First time trying out webRTC and I am kind of stuck for the moment.  This is in React Native with react-native-webrtc.  I am testing to see if I can establish p2p connection between 2 android phones manually step by step.  So I try to initiate call from one phone by creating an offer and sending it thru email to my 2nd phone. Then in my 2nd phone I would copy and paste the offer into a text field in my test app and press a button to parse the offer and setRemoteDescription.  This is the step I am getting error.
Here's my codes for generating and sending an offer.
const configuration = {iceServers: [{url: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302'}]};
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection(configuration);
pc.addStream(newStream);
pc.createOffer().then((desc) => {
  pc.setLocalDescription(desc).then(() => {
    this.setState({offer: JSON.stringify(desc)});
    this.sendSDP(JSON.stringify(desc));
  });
});

Here's the code for parsing the offer string and setRemoteDescription:
const peer = new RTCPeerConnection(configuration);
const remoteOffer = JSON.parse(this.state.remoteOffer.trim());
peer.setRemoteDescription(new RTCSessionDescription(remoteOffer))
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Success');
  });

Here's the error:
Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 0): "SessionDescription is NULL."
And this is a smaple SDP it generated:

What am I missing or doing incorrectly here?

A: I finally figured out the issue and it is anti-dramatic.
The problem is that when I send the offer through email, the email automatically adds a line break somewhere in the middle which caused the error.
For now I used the text-fixer website tool to remove the line break until I move on to use a proper signaling method.

An alternative to stainless steel is photosensitive aluminum for tags and plates that will be exposed to harsh weather, chemicals, dirt, and grime . The Metalphoto® process seals text, logos, and symbols into aluminum. It works very much like photographic paper – the images become a part of the aluminum, they are not printed on top of or added to the aluminum.
The benefits of this are countless. Text will never be scraped or scratched off of a tag. A photosensitive aluminum plate will never corrode or rust. And compared to stainless steel aluminum is nearly weightless.
Stainless steel has drawbacks, however. It is heavy and because of that it isn't the best material choice for gas powered vehicles, avionics, or water craft.
Consider however that over the course of time images and text can disappear from stainless steel. Marking stainless steel involves silk screening with ink or etching into the stainless steel surface. Ink can be gouged or scraped off. Etching removes part of the surface of the tag and therefore exposes it to chemicals and the dirt and grime of the oil and gas fields. An etched tag or plate tag is more likely to corrode and rust when the protective surface layer is removed by etching.
When considering product marking applications that must stand up to harsh environments and are especially durable under exposure to chemicals and challenging elements consider Metalphoto® aluminum plates and tags. Its strengths include that it is corrosion resistant, incredibly light wieght, and that text will never fade or scratch off. Prices are comparable to stainless steel and the longevity of the tag or plate increases exponentially as does the reliability of the information it carries.

It is in the refrigerator uncovered allowing the skin to dry out completely so that we an enjoy some nice crispy skin for dinner. 🙂 In about an hour I'll be taking it out to remove the chill and then placing it in the oven for an early Thanksgiving dinner.
I've actually cut down on the amount of sides I'll be making today. We had a HUGE dinner last night at Boiling Crab (OMG SO GOOD but SO. MUCH. FOOD), so it was decided that we go lighter on the sides today. I'll be doing TJ's frozen asparagus and just thawing those and re-roasting/heating in the oven, buttered corn, dressing, mashed potatoes, rice, and filipino dinner rolls called pandesal. We purchased the rolls the other day so I opted not to make the parker house rolls. Maybe during Christmas. Because there are just four of us and I didn't want too many leftovers, my mother in law suggested I not make the mac and cheese. 😦 Maybe I'll make it next week for dinner. Plus more sides = more time in the kitchen. It's nice having this small intimate Thanksgiving dinner because it's less stress.

Armed civilian border group member arrested in New Mexico
(Source: Gray News)
A New Mexico man belonging to an armed group that has detained Central American families near the U.S.-Mexico border was arrested Saturday in a border community on a criminal complaint accusing him of being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition, authorities said.
The FBI said in a statement it arrested 69-year-old Larry Mitchell Hopkins in Sunland Park with the assistance of local police. New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas said in a separate statement that Hopkins was a member of the group that had stopped migrants.
Hopkins was booked into the Dona Ana County detention center in Las Cruces and it wasn't immediately known whether he has an attorney who could comment on the allegations.
The FBI statement did not provide information on Hopkins' background, and FBI spokesman Frank Fisher told The Associated Press that no additional information would be released until after Hopkins has an initial appearance Monday in federal court in Las Cruces.
The FBI said Hopkins is from Flora Vista, a rural community in northern New Mexico and approximately 353 miles (572 kilometers) north of Sunland Park, which is a suburb of El Paso, Texas.
The Sunland Park Police Department on Saturday referred an AP reporter to the FBI.
Balderas said in a statement that Hopkins "is a dangerous felon who should not have weapons around children and families. Today's arrest by the FBI indicates clearly that the rule of law should be in the hands of trained law enforcement officials, not armed vigilantes."
Federal authorities on Friday warned private groups to avoid policing the border after a string of videos on social media showed armed civilians detaining large groups of Central American families in New Mexico.
The videos posted earlier in the week show members of United Constitutional Patriots ordering family groups as small as seven and as large as several hundred to sit on the dirt with their children, some toddlers, waiting until Border Patrol agents arrive.
Customs and Border Protection said on its Twitter account that it "does not endorse or condone private groups or organizations that take enforcement matters into their own hands. Interference by civilians in law enforcement matters could have public safety and legal consequences for all parties involved."
Jim Benvie, a spokesman for United Constitutional Patriots, did not immediately respond Saturday to a request for comment made via Facebook.
Benvie said in a video that the group's members were assisting a "stressed and overstrained Border Patrol" and said the group is legally armed for self-defense and never points guns at migrants. The posted videos do not show them with firearms drawn.
Armed civilian groups have been a fixture on the border for years, especially when large numbers of migrants come. But, unlike previous times, many of the migrants crossing now are children.
In the Border Patrol's El Paso sector, which has emerged as the second-busiest corridor for illegal crossings after Texas' Rio Grande Valley, 86% of arrests in March were people who came as families or unaccompanied children.

Colombia's foreign policy
We'll be there
Colombia reverses its plan to skip the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony
by S.B. | BOGOTÁ
THE list of countries that plan to skip the granting of the Nobel Peace Prize on December 10th to Liu Xiaobo, an imprisoned Chinese dissident, includes many anti-Western governments, such as Iran, Venezuela, Sudan and Serbia. The one name that clearly stood out from the group was Colombia, whose new president, Juan Manuel Santos, has sought to polish the country's human-rights record. Although Colombia gave no official justification for missing the event, it appeared that Mr Santos was willing to tarnish the country's international reputation in order to curry favour with China, which became Colombia's second-biggest export market last year.
Today, after criticism of the snub grew, Colombia announced it would reverse its decision. Its foreign minister, María Ángela Holguín, said that the country's planned no-show was not a political boycott but a simple matter of logistics, which she "never imagined" would become so contentious. Mario Vargas Llosa, a Peruvian novelist and a personal friend of Mr Santos, is set to receive the Nobel Prize in literature in Sweden on the same day that Mr Liu will be honoured in Norway. Since Colombia only has a single ambassador covering Scandinavia, the government could only send him to one of the two events. Now, it plans to send a mid-level diplomat to the ceremony for Mr Liu as well—a small price to pay to preserve the country's good name.

How to Create the Old Film Effect in a Video
So you want to learn how to make the old film effect in a video. While we're all familiar with the quick Instagram-style filters, to achieve a more authentic look, it's good to know what else contributes to the vintage look of old movies.
In this tutorial, we'll show you the color correction effects, framerate settings, overlays, and aspect ratio hacks used to achieve the old film effect. You can select just one effect or use multiple tricks on the same video. Before getting started, download VSDC, the free video editor for Windows we'll be using in this tutorial.
5 Easy tricks to achieve the old film effect in VSDC
To get started, launch VSDC on your computer and use the Import content button to upload your footage. By using this option, you preserve the original footage properties, such as the size of the video, its aspect ratio and resolution.
1. Try pre-designed Old Film styles
If you're here for a quick solution, the pre-designed styles are your best friends. In VSDC, there are 3 pre-designed Old Film styles. To apply them, click on the video you've uploaded, then open the Quick style menu at the top, and select one of the Old Film options.
To unselect a style, make another click on its icon in the menu. Keep in mind that there are more vintage-looking styles and Instagram filters in the menu, and you can apply more than one to the same video.
2. Use a vintage film look overlay
The second relatively easy way to achieve the old film effect is by using a ready-made overlay from one of the stock video marketplaces.
Overlays are videos that you blend with the main footage to achieve the desired atmosphere. They typically have a monochrome background and contain particles, flares, or other visual components such as smoke stripes or water droplets. If you want to learn more, read our brief guide to working with overlays.
Vintage film look overlays aren't different. They may contain film dust, flashes, scratches, light leaks, letterboxes, and other "attributes" of an old movie. Here is an example of an old film overlay:
Now, if you want to try this technique on your video, go to one of the free stock video marketplaces, such as Videezy, Pexels, or Pixabay, and search for an "old film look overlay" or a "vintage film overlay". Once you find the video to your taste, download it and drag it to the scene where your main footage is. Place the overlay above the main footage, then go to the quick access menu at the top and decrease the Opacity level of the overlay.
As a result, the overlay will become semi-transparent while maintaining its distinguishing color tone and the particles.
3. Add the grainy look
Ever noticed that some old movies look grainy? This effect is also easy to replicate. Once you've added your footage to the scene, open the Video effects menu, proceed to Filters, then select Noise.
If you want to make the video look less grainy, make a right mouse-click on the filter layer and select Properties. Then use the Properties window on the right-hand side to reduce the noise and transparency levels.
4. Apply the grayscale effect
Now that we're approaching the end of the tutorial, it's time to talk about good old black and white videos. If this is what you're trying to achieve, just open the Video effects menu, proceed to Adjustments and select Grayscale.
Since old-school videos also tend to have a brighter and less contrasting look, we also recommend toggling the controls in the Basic effects window on the right-hand side to see what works for your footage. But most importantly – and this is a lesser-known tip – old movies had a lower framerate and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Once you apply these two settings, it will be hard to tell whether your video was recorded yesterday or in the 1920s. We'll show you how to go about it in the following section.
5. Change the framerate and resolution of your footage
The fastest way to set the desired framerate and resolution is by creating a new project with the said properties. This means that instead of importing your video with the original properties, you'll need to set the properties that will be applied to the video you'll be working with.
Once you launch VSDC, hit Blank project. Then select the 4:3 aspect ratio in the Resolution menu, and the desired framerate in the corresponding menu below.
To imitate a movie recorded on an old-school camera, you can choose anything between 10 and 15 frames per second. The lower the framerate is, the more noticeable the transition between the frames will be.
Now, when you create a 4:3 project and import your footage, chances are, the video will not fit the scene properly – that's because the vast majority of modern videos have a 16:9 aspect ratio. The ideal solution will be to crop your footage and make it fit the 4:3 project. This is not the most elegant solution since some of the footage will get cropped out, however, this is the only way to achieve the authentic old film effect.
To crop the video, click on the Crop icon at the top and proceed to Auto cropping. The footage will be automatically cropped to fit the scene.
Once you're ready, go ahead and save your video. Open the Export project tab, select the final destination of the video, and proceed to Export.

The summit will start off with some short talks on the work that will be happening in and around Equinox over the year. Tentatively we have room in the agenda for five 15 minute talks, but the length and number can be tweaked depending on how many talks we end up with. If you have a proposal for a lightning talk, please add it here by Friday 09/21/2007. Consider this an opportunity to advertise the cool things you're working on, and to attract participation from the community. If you don't tell us, how will we know?
p2, where are we going, where are we, quick design overview.
Brief overview of how Maya is planned to leverage the Equinox provisioning incubator work. Topics include how the director component will be used server side and the use of shared install services to provide the desired end-user experience.
OSGi Rnext - 15 minute overview of what is coming down the road in the next OSGi spec release. Given limited time, I will focus on what is most applicable to Equinox.
Security incubator - Current status and future plan. Focus will be on dynamic management of Java security providers, trust roots, user authentication and on runtime code authorization.
Tooling (PDE), an overview and what we are planning for the future.
The bulk of the summit will be divided into breakout sessions exploring various topics. All attendees will help establish and shape the particular topics to be explor. To kick things off, please add some Equinox-related topics of interest to you. These can be used to seed the list of discussion topics, and help attendees with similar interest to connect.
More contributions. This might be a meta-topic but there are likely tangible steps that the current team can take to be more open to new contributions.
Services. Prosyst has contributed several new services recently. We should review these with an eye to graduating and integrating them into the main stream.
PDE build. How can we make it better (incremental, easier to setup, ...) and how will the provisioning work impact build.
PDE Build. How can we tool PDE Build... in terms of having an easy way to get a user started with an automated build. Similar to how PDE provides a .product file for helping build/package RCP applications, maybe we need something similar for an automated build.
PDE and "Components." PDE has notions of groups of plug-ins in various places... (target definitions, product files, features, etc...) does it make sense to abstract this concept out a bit so it can be reused by other places.
PDE and Provisioning. How will tooling for provisioning work, what happens to features and update sites?
PDE Build and Incremental Build. How do we make PDE Build do incremental build? How does this intersect with provisioning?
Security: Any connection between login and profiles in provisioning? Can login be tied to a certain profile/class of profile (e.g. role)?
Bundle distribution: How to allow component-level (groups of plugins, with various dependencies) be easily distributed/installed? How do (bundle) repositories (e.g. OBR, JSR-something) fit in?
Related to bundle distribution: How to support EF project component distribution (without features).
ECF: what enhancements are needed for file transfer both at API and impl: e.g. pause/resume enhancements, file caching, monitoring/transfer statistics collection?, support more/other providers, etc.
ECF: How to get/test/make available more providers (e.g. bittorrent, custom protocols, etc).
Explore the intersection of the equinox provisioning and security work. Is the intersection secure provisioning, what does that mean, does it need to be built-in?
What integration are we seeking between PDE (UI/Build) and equinox provisioning?
Looking forward with PDE Build, should we just build in the workspace?
In the previous update manager, transport was the number one source of complaints from the community (freezing download, various proxy pb, https, etc.). Are we on track to do better? What are we missing (e.g. auto detection of proxy settings from the OS, test suites), does that translate in any requirement on ECF?
Incorporating of post processing steps. With the introduction of post processing (e.g. unpack200, deltas) an artifact key is no longer a unique id for picking an artifact. There might be multiple artifact descriptors all with the same artifact key but different post processing. How does this affect artifact repository, download manager,..?
Logging. Logging is an essential tool for checking the health of deployed applications and tracking down problems. There are a lot of attempts in this area. Is there a preferred solution in sight?
Security and provisioning. Authentication and authorization (JAAS) are necessary for a controlled provisioning (governance). Trusted connections to ´update sites´ (client trusts server/server trusts client) are a requirement for secure applications (banking/finance). How does that impact provisioning?
Provisioning: Filtering and selectors on dependencies, director resolution algorithm, repository APIs; support for installs with multiple bundle pools; server-managed clients.
Meta: What can the current Equinox committers do to help new contributors join in? What are the barriers to participation? How can we remove them?
Framework: extension registry – discuss possible scenarios for future growth. How much dynamic support do we need?
Framework: component models in general – extension registry, OSGi, DS. Are we there yet?
Tooling: API tooling – what we have now; where we would like to be. Discuss common repository for API and reference information to be used by a mix of open source and commercial developers. Usage of Javadoc tags to specify API rules.
Security: What are the real needs of end users / developers / administrators? The org.eclipse.equinox.security contribution for JAAS support.
Framework: Constraint resolving implementations. How to tackle the NP-Complete problem of the OSGi constraint resolver.
Framework: Security/Trusted bundles what it means to enable this at runtime.
Future OSGi work: How much change to the core Framework will the new Enterprise Expert Group require? Is it time to consider a major restructure of the Framework implementation? What would we gain or loose from such a large undertaking? and who would contribute?
Programming models: Can we leverage the lazy activation model in the OSGi extender models (DS, spring etc.). Will this make DS and other extender models more attractive to the Eclipse community?
Programming models: Interests in DS vs Spring. What should Eclipse use, if any, and what are the tooling considerations.
Discuss subdividing equinox.bundles component: what is helpful in getting more clarity and participation in the various bundles under the Equinox umbrella. Should we do more bugzilla components? Should we do more commit groups? Do some level of (arbitrary) grouping help. We need to agree on what the goals are for subdivision to decide if some particular subdivision is useful.
Discuss what is coming in the next OSGi specification release and impact on Equinox.
Discuss what in Equinox can/should be brought to OSGi for standardization. e.g. Extention Registry, P2, etc.
Provisioning Engine and Configurator. In particular extensibility, re-use of existing deployment technologies and reliable state changes.
Serverside meets provisioning. How we can make this happen and what it will look like.
Serverside tooling considerations. In particular building servletbridge based applications.
Provisioning interoperability and backwards compatibility - How do we see the new Update story co-existing with the old update manager (and features, etc)? Living in harmony with 3.3 and 3.4. Update sites.
Reconciler vs. become operations - How far can we go in providing a best-effort in resolving conflicts between what a shared profile dictates and what an end-user has installed?
Provisioning - shared install; UI - how will things (updates, new installations, etc.) be presented to the user?
Scalability of provisioning (think 1000's of bundles); see bugzilla 183882. Is the use of the current framework admin API causing inefficiencies in the current director dependency expansion/resolution algorithms?
Extensibility of repositories and the download manager. For example, support for volume repositories (media).
Architecture of native touchpoints for os/architecture.
Transactionality for complex installs with multiple configurations.
Multi-user, shared installs (is there an echo in here?); admin interactions.
Logging functionality and conventions; support for problem diagnosis.
Factoring for selectable content; support in metadata generation.
What kind of provisioning artifacts will pde.build be required to produce.
PDE/UI: What can the UI do to help the transition from workspace to headless builds and lower the bar to entry.

Treat yourself or someone you love to the relaxation, recovery and wellness that only a great massage can provide.
Massage can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle: soothing muscles made sore from exercise, decreasing stress levels, providing a calming influence during pregnancy. The Center for Health and Fitness (CHF) offers Swedish-style massage combined with elements of Shiatsu, sports massage, deep tissue, reflexology and Reiki to achieve optimal results. The CHF masseuse works with you to determine areas of focus and to adjust pressure to your preference. Bottom line...you're going to leave here feeling incredible!
What is Restorative Movement Massage (RMM)?
This unique form of therapy blends gentle muscular movement, trigger point work, stretching, and some traditional massage techniques for a holistic approach to the body aimed at resolving musculoskeletal problems. RMM is designed to restore and optimize your functional range of motion, and can provide significant relief from muscle and joint pain.
Why Invest in Restorative Movement Massage?
Most chronic musculoskeletal pain or injury is caused by imbalances in muscle strength or flexibility; either due to an old injury, repeated, long-term movement patterns (sitting, or sports-specific movements, for example), or the structure of your skeleton. While some massage techniques may offer temporary relaxation and pain relief, RMM aims to find the cause of pain and works to strengthen those weak links to prevent future recurrence of your problem. For those with painful joint conditions, RMM works towards maximizing the range of motion (ROM) of the muscle, in order to reduce stress on the joint and decrease your pain and discomfort so you can get back to doing what you love.

Lifelong Learning Academy Announces
Fall 2015 Semester
September 28-November 19
Open Registration Begins August 25!
The fall semester includes more than 50 courses on a wide variety of topics; a lecture and film series about anti-Semitism and the Holocaust; two history workshops conducted by noted archaeologist Steven Derfler; an in-depth look at the Sarasota Opera and The Verdi Cycle, and the return of the popular Einstein's Circle forums.
(Sarasota-Manatee) "Twentieth Century Dance Greats," "Modern Monetary and Economic Policy," "iPhone for Beginners," "Reading as a Writer: Ernest Hemingway," "Spiritual Psychology," and "Scientific Discovery and Creative Genius." This is only a sampling of the more than 50 in-depth courses offered this fall by Lifelong Learning Academy. Courses are primarily offered on the campus of the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee, 8350 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. Classes are also offered at State College of Florida in Lakewood Ranch, Anna Maria Island Community Center, and Westminster Towers and Shores in Bradenton. Weekly classes run six to eight weeks, September 28-November 19. Open registration begins August 25. No refunds on lectures, workshops, or special events; registration is transferrable.
The fall semester includes two workshops offered by archaeologist, historian and author Steven Derfler: "The Life and Mysterious Death of King Tut" (October 9, 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m.), and "Ancient Mesopotamia: The Land Between the Rivers" (November 6, 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m.). The fee per workshop is $99 general admission; $89 for LLA members, and includes a box lunch.
Two other fall workshops include "Opera 101," which delves into the history of opera, covers key operatic concepts and describes what it takes to stage a full production at Sarasota Opera (October 2, 3-5 p.m.); and "The Verdi Cycle," an introduction into the life and work of the prolific composer (October 16, 3-5 p.m.) The series is hosted by Sarasota Opera's executive director, Richard Russell, and is at the Sarasota Opera House, 61 N. Pineapple Avenue, Sarasota. The fee is $25 per workshop.
The fall semester also includes a lecture and film series on anti-Semitism and the Holocaust presented by art historian and media psychologist Andre Krauss, Ph.D. The lecture, titled "The Convenient Scapegoat: Anti-Semitism Before and After the Holocaust," is October 8, 2:30-4 p.m., at Selby Auditorium at USF Sarasota-Manatee. The fee is $10 for the general public and free for LLA members. "Impossible Circumstances and Impossible Choices" is a three-part film and discussion series chosen in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the liberation of the Nazi death camps. The three films, "Fateless" (October 29; 2:30-5:15 p.m.), "Genocide" (November 12; 2:30-5:15 p.m.), and "Defiance" (November 19; 2:30-5:15 p.m.) represent but a few examples of the extraordinarily difficult choices that Jews had to make under the perverse Nazi social order. The fee is $25 per film or $70 for three films and discussions.
The fall Einstein's Circle series will be announced in late August. These open forums, moderated by knowledgeable experts in a variety of topics, provide an opportunity for participants to engage in a thoughtful exchange of ideas, opinions and information.

The WBIC uses a HSM system for storage. Please see the information about the WBIC network on their webpages https://www.wbic.cam.ac.uk/ (these pages require a wbic account to access).
The current suggested way of copying a large number of files, which may be on tape, from the WBIC HSM is to copy directly (rather than by archiving/compressing). To copy your files, first touch_all.pl them to bring them off-tape, then copy them to the local storage by means of the scp command.
to retreive those files from tape.
to copy all these files to a directory in the /work/imaging1/ area. See the man pages on scp for more details.
Remember please copy large imaging files to one of the imaging filestores /work/imaging1-4 (*not* to your home directory, which should be used for small/office files only).
Once you have got your data over here, you'll need to convert your images and do Pre SPM Preprocessing. Have a look at Help with Imaging on each of the steps.
The "raw" data directories /pvCache etc are not mounted onto the gate0/gate1 machines. Thus to copy files from the raw data caches, you must log into a compute server (e.g. cs1) and copy the files into your home directory. Once in your home directory, the files will then be visible to the scp shell.
What If I Forget My VNC Password?
SSH on to one of the bcni servers and locate a directory called .vnc in your home directory (you will need to run ls -a to see hidden files & folders). In .vnc, you will be able to see a file called passwd, which unfortunately will be encrypted (too easy!) - but if you delete (rm) passwd and then run your VNC viewer, it will ask you for a new password. And no-one need ever know your embarrassment!
Stop your vnc desktops (no use if you have lost the password!) e.g.
Run the vnc server to create a new desktop e.g.

Dan Duquette returning to Baltimore for second meeting in two days
By Dan Connolly
Dan Duquette, who left Baltimore on Friday after a strong interview with Orioles officials concerning their open GM job, is returning this afternoon and is expected to meet with them again this evening, according to an industry source.
ESPN's Tim Kurkjian reported that the meeting is to finalize a contract.
An industry source said no offer has been extended to Duquette at this time, but that could change very soon.
Duquette, 53, built his reputation by constructing a surprisingly good team in Montreal from 1991 to 1994 before taking over the Boston Red Sox in his native state.
Duquette led the Red Sox for eight years before being fired in 2002. He basically built the foundation of the club that won two World Series after his departure. His trade of reliever Heathcliff Slocumb for pitcher Derek Lowe and catcher Jason Varitek in 1997 will go down as one of the most lopsided deals in Red Sox history. And Duquette twice traded for perennial All-Star pitcher Pedro Martinez, once for Boston and once for Montreal.
Duquette's tenure with the Red Sox was also marked with a public brashness that included his now-famous quote about letting star pitcher Roger Clemens go via free agency in the "twilight of his career." Clemens pitched 11 more seasons and won four Cy Young Awards after that declaration.
Since Duquette left the Red Sox, he has worked with various minor league operations and currently runs the Dan Duquette Sports Academy in Hinsdale, Mass. He also interviewed this winter for the Los Angeles Angels' GM position that ultimately went to Jerry Dipoto.
If hired, he would be the second member of the Duquette family to hold an executive post in Baltimore. His cousin, Jim, was the Orioles' vice president from 2005 to 2007.

How to Help Kids Overcome Bad Dreams
Bad dreams are inevitable. Here's how parents can help young children through the stuff of nightmares.
Kari Zaffarano
It's completely normal for kids to have bad dreams. Eric Herman, a clinical psychologist with Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, says dreams arise from something we experience during the day. If we're still thinking about it before bed, it can slip into a dream.
When those things are negative, though, it can quickly turn a child's peaceful slumber into tears and fears.
How they happen
By age 2 or 3, most kids can express that they've had a nightmare, Herman says.
"They're aware enough to talk about it," he explains. They may be upset and think something bad is happening to them or someone they love. "Kids usually dream about something scary," Herman adds. "Typically monsters or ghosts – things that want to get them or eat them."
The type of bad dream depends on a child's development stage, notes the John Hopkins Medicine website. "Toddlers may dream about separation from their parents. Preschoolers may dream about monsters or the dark. School-aged children may dream about death or real dangers."
Some dreams have no direct reason, it notes, while others are triggered by something a child has seen or heard – sometimes real and sometimes make-believe.
"Stress and traumatic events can affect them," too, Herman says.
Although bad dreams are bound to happen, factors like a consistent routine and ensuring kids are in a good mood before they go to sleep can help.
Shielding kids from scary movies or TV shows is a good practice, John Hopkins points out, as is reading a bedtime story or chatting up "happy or fun things" prior to lights-out, such as a favorite moment that day or upcoming exciting event.
And keep communication open before bed, Herman says. It's important for kids to be able to share what's going on in their lives – especially what's bothering them.
"The main thing is to have a good relationship with the kid and not be afraid to talk to them," he says. "You want them to know they are safe."
Soothing fears
When nightmares strike, it's OK to comfort and cuddle your child. However, Herman suggests, "Leave them in their own bed if they wake up with a bad dream" instead of scooping them into yours. "You want them to be able to address the problem" on their own, he says – a key life skill.
From there, talk to your child in the morning about the bad dream. The main thing to focus on is that their dream was not real.
"Talk about imagination and the things that scare us," Herman says, and explain the difference between reality and a dream. At the same time, reassure your child. Say, "I understand that things can be scary sometimes," he suggests. Then go on to say there's no such thing as monsters and kids are safe in their beds.
Before bed, leave your child's door open if needed. A soft nightlight or stuffed animal can also help. "This teaches them to cope and be brave," Herman says.
Avoid bright flashlights or "monster spray" – typically a spritz bottle filled with water and maybe a few drops of essential oils. "It makes the issue seem more real," he explains.
If it gets worse
"If you're noticing that the kids are not sleeping on a regular basis or are having bad dreams more than a few days a week," Herman says, seek a doctor's help.
Something could be causing them anxiety during the day – such as being away from mom or dad, starting a new school or a scary show – and they don't know how to cope with it. Targeting these issues could be the key to sound sleep.
