France Offers the Best Healthcare on Earth and is Available to Expats Residing in the Country
While known as purveyors of "la belle vie" (the good life), the French tend to have very healthy lifestyles, thanks in large part to one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Never ones to shun a glass of Pinot Noir or a creamy slice of Camembert cheese, it's a wonder how they maintain such a high life expectancy.
Despite their meat- and cream-rich diet augmented by alcohol and cigarettes, the French have been living much longer in recent years. Life expectancy now averages 85.7 years for women and 79.5 for men. The number of people living over the age of 100 has doubled. Married people are found to live longer than non-married people, and people in the north of France die at a younger age.
The low cost of health insurance and the superb quality of care means that France consistently receives high scores in the healthcare category of International Living's Annual Global Retirement Index.

Who is eligible for the French national health system?
In 2016, France established a new national healthcare system, known as Protection Universelle Maladie (PUMA). This new system grants an automatic and continuous right to healthcare for those who legally reside in France in a "regular and stable manner." This means that if you've lived in France for a minimum of three months and legally reside there at least six months a year, you are eligible to apply for public healthcare.
Previously, expats in France were generally eligible to apply for universal coverage only if they were legally employed in France and paid into the social security system, or if they legally resided in France for one to five years. During this period, expats were required to have private health insurance, which is significantly costlier than the French system. Thanks to this new law, expats might be able to get French healthcare coverage in less than a year, saving thousands of dollars.
If, however, you are not yet eligible to apply for French healthcare coverage, you must have private health insurance. One cost-effective option is to buy into a group plan. You'll need to become a member of an association that offers this benefit. One is the Association of Americans Resident Overseas (AARO). Costs to join the association are €65 ($71.68) annually per individual and €85 ($93.73) for couples and families. The association offers a plan that is very popular with expats in France and throughout Europe, administered by MHS Intl., with annual premiums starting at €11,208 ($12,359) for comprehensive coverage for people aged between 50 and 59. For more details, and a full list of premiums, contact the Association of Americans Resident Overseas (AARO)
Visits to the Doctor in France

In France you can visit any doctor of your own choosing—a general practitioner or a specialist—in the private or public sector. The cost of a doctor's visit in France depends on whether you elect to see a médecin non-conventionné—that is, a private doctor—or a médecin conventionné, a doctor who works within the French social security system. The sécurité sociale sets standard fees—currently €25 ($27), for a visit to a general practitioner and from €50 ($55) to see a specialist. Some médecin conventionné doctors observe the standard sécurité sociale rates, but many within the system set their own fees. Private doctors' fees can be more than triple the state amounts. You will always be told exactly how much you will have to pay.
If you're visiting the country and fall ill, you can ask the tourist office, a pharmacy, or your hotel to recommend a doctor.
Hospital Treatment in France
The conditions for reimbursement for medical expenses vary from hospital to hospital. Unless it's an emergency, you should check into the reimbursement conditions before you're signed in for hospital treatment. For instance, your healthcare insurance policy may cover you for treatment only in a public hospital, not in a private clinic.
The French social security system covers treatment in public hospitals and clinics with conventionné status. You'll be reimbursed 80% for treatment the first month and 100% thereafter. All surgical expenses are reimbursed 100%. Regardless of treatment and surgery costs, you'll also be charged a non-reimbursable rate of €18 ($19.85) per day for bed occupancy; in a psychiatric hospital, you must pay €13.50 ($14.89) per day. However, at private clinics with non-conventionné status, you'll be able to reclaim only about 10% of your medical expenses under the French social security system.
Should you develop a medical issue which requires long-term or life-time treatment, such as cancer or multiple sclerosis, all medication and hospitalization is free. For expats, this does not apply to pre-existing conditions, so you will be asked for your medical history.
France has a modern and sophisticated dental system. You will find dentists in practically every town of any size, all of whom are well trained. Basic dental care is efficient and by world standards very affordable, and you will find that most dentists speak some English. A basic check-up will cost €25 ($27), the same as a visit to the GP. If you need a basic filling, it will be an additional €18 ($19), but can be much more depending on the complexity of the procedure. An extraction will start from €35 ($38). When it comes to more sophisticated dental work, prices start to go up significantly, with a crown costing from €400 ($441). As with all healthcare in France, you will be given a precise quote for the work before you proceed, which is a legal requirement.
You can be reimbursed by the government for dental work, but this only applies to basic procedures and not cosmetic dentistry. As with the doctor, you pay the dentist directly after the consultation, so make sure you have enough cash.
Charges can be dramatically different from dentist to dentist. There are additional charges if you require treatment on a public holiday or on a weekend, as well as extra charges for emergency dental treatment. Nonetheless, the prices are generally low compared to those in the U.S.
It is worth considering supplementary dental insurance if you think you may need care in the coming years.
In France, First-Rate Healthcare Costs Me $9 Per Doctor's Visit

By Tuula Rampont
As an expat who has lived in the south of France for the last 12 years, I thought I'd developed a pretty effective toolbox of "fix-its" for every situation.
Car problems? A scruffy but kindhearted mechanic has been my go-to guy for the last nine years. Recommended by an ex-neighbor, he's never steered me wrong…pun intended.
Plumber? Same. Doctor? Many moons ago I'd combed through a list of potential candidates and relied heavily on what the French call bouche à oreille—literally "mouth to your ear," or word-of-mouth, recommendations. I had a wonderful general practitioner who enjoyed trying out a few English phrases he'd mastered, and who dreamed about doing a motorhome tour of U.S. national parks in his retirement.
I'd even become quite adept at making appointments over the phone—a skill not to be underestimated when attempting to master the French language. Trying to get receptionists to spell my first name, Tuula, had been a sharp learning curve.
"Il y a un double U, pas un double V!" (There's a double U, not a W!) Tuula and Twla had become two confused patients in the waiting room. So, I'd become "Maria" over the phone, at least until we met in-person.
Small tricks of the trade that you pick up over the years. Like knowing which supermarkets sold hard-shell tacos (only one in my town), or how to grow your own jalapeno peppers in the backyard, or which train to avoid taking (the RER) to Nice because it meant stopping at every town along the French Riviera.
I felt like I had a pretty good hold on all things expat in France, until I had a startling revelation one chilly December morning at our local Lidl supermarket. For all of my careful planning, and boots-on-the-ground know-how, it seemed I'd overlooked a key point of the French lifestyle—I hadn't been taking full advantage of the healthcare system.
And that was about to become painfully apparent.
An Easy-to-Use, Expat-Friendly System
Back at the supermarket, a gentle throbbing, nothing invasive or extraordinary, but continuous, had started in one of my back molars.
Th-thump…th-thump…th-thump.
I closed my eyes for a second, and tried to silently will it away. Perhaps I'd slept wrong, put too much pressure on that side of my mouth, or was simply just tired. Putting back a handful of lemons, and heading for the exit, I knew that was all just wishful thinking.
There was a sizable toothache brewing in my head, reaching around to my temples, and I had no one to blame but myself. I honestly couldn't remember the last time I'd been to the dentist.
Prescription drugs are covered up to 100% of cost.
Well, actually, I could. It was at a dentist back in Ventura, California circa 2004—for a cracked tooth, root canal, and eventual crown. Even the memory of it made me shudder. Not for the work itself, which passed in low-pain ease, but for the number of lines I'd written in my checkbook when it came to paying the bill.
I had a good job and good insurance at the time, but that dental (mis)adventure had cost me well over $2,000. It wasn't the first time I'd had a hefty bill after a spin in the chair, and, while my dentist back home was a very kind and gentle man, I'd avoided seeing him as much as possible. I just didn't have the extra funds for it.
Fast-forward to France many years later, and it was with a mixture of panic and regret that I realized I was still living very much in my American mindset—cutting corners on my healthcare for fear of the cost.
While my French colleagues and friends scheduled routine check-ups and exams, seemingly every month or so, and went straight to the doctor at any hint of an ailment, I went, on average, once a year for a routine exam.
A general check-up around June and an eye exam around springtime were my two yearly appointments. I'd visited the doctor once for a bad case of the seasonal flu, other years I'd rode it out at home. A sprained ankle took me to the emergency room a few years ago, and I did two stints of physical therapy—15 sessions in total. All of them were paid for under the system, and I could have renewed for more sessions with Hugo, my excellent physical therapist, who included strength training and deep tissue massages into his regime twice a week.
But I hadn't wanted to take advantage of the system. And now I was starting to realize that there was a pretty big gap between taking advantage and simply being proactive with my healthcare. The French had been doing it all their lives.
I called a local dentist who was gracious enough to squeeze me in for an emergency appointment that same Monday morning. Prescription for antibiotics in hand, he slid me two pain pills as I left his office for a pharmacy around the corner.
"Here, take these now and go get the prescription filled. I'll see you in a week for the root canal."
Phew, I'd really dodged a bullet there. A week later all would be back to normal.
Only that, after the week was up, and the root canal finished, the pain came back. Turned out I was one of an unlucky 20% or so with a failed treatment. The hunt was on for a specialist, or else the tooth would have to come out.
Well, there's nothing like feeling as if a small freight train is rumbling around your head to get you motivated. I took the day off work and drove to one of the most prestigious teaching hospitals in the country—the workplace of France's top COVID expert who had been a regular fixture on TV talk shows at the height of the pandemic.
Their dental clinic in Marseille, around a 40-minute drive from home, took walk-in patients at all hours of the day.
I'd doubled-down and hedged my bets the night before, scoring a 9 a.m. appointment at a private dental office just down the street from the hospital. At this point, I wanted to get a second opinion, and I couldn't believe how easy it had been to find one.
A few years back, a service called Doctolib (see: Doctolib.fr) launched across the country. Type in your location, and the type of health service desired, and you got a list of doctors, dentists, and therapists with their next available appointments listed on the screen before you. You could even select your preferred language.
I put in my preference for English and an Outlook-like calendar opened with a list of available timeslots. I immediately received a confirmation email for my dental appointment the next day.
It was an expat godsend! No need for "Maria" to ever make an appearance again.
The dental clinic in Marseille led me on a path to a specialist who, incredibly, was a two-minute walk from my place of work in the center of Toulon. A young Spanish dentist, trained in Madrid, who spoke perfect English.
Another root canal, and two replacement crowns later, I'd made up for a lot of lost time and shed a lot of the fears I'd had in the U.S. Total cost for all treatments came to around $670, with my top-up insurance.
Since that time, I've become fast friends with Doctolib, and have scheduled a slew of check-ups that every French person turning the corner on 50 has already booked in. Like them, I'll be unashamedly taking advantage of their wonderful healthcare system, anytime and anywhere.
Top-Notch Healthcare, Anytime And Anywhere
France operates under a universal healthcare system in which everyone is entitled to receive medical services. There are no age restrictions, pre-existing condition limitations, or networks to join. You can see any doctor, anywhere, at basically any time they are available. Expats, in possession of a long-stay visa (issued for 12-months and then renewable), are eligible to enroll in the healthcare system after three months of living in the country. France must be your primary residence for six months of the year.
The French pay a small portion of their earnings in social security contributions (around 8%, with additional deductions available) to pay for healthcare benefits. For expats, the pot gets a little—or a lot— sweeter, depending on your situation.
As the U.S. holds a tax treaty with France, Americans cannot be double-taxed on income already paid to Uncle Sam. Therefore, U.S. Social Security benefits and pensions are not taxable by the French government, and do not enter into your healthcare payment calculations.
In the French system, rich, middle-class, low-income, unemployed, and retired folks all have the same access to medical services. Some are paying more, considerably more, and others are paying considerably less. Employers, who are heavily taxed, make up the difference.
It doesn't mean that your healthcare will be entirely free of charge. You'll pay 8% of your income that the French government is allowed to tax (after an additional standard allowance of around $11,000 per person). As a ballpark figure, an individual who has income to declare to the French government of $30,000 will pay around $1,520 a year in healthcare.
You are then entitled to a 70% to 100% reimbursement on medical services—which are already incredibly low-cost. Top-up insurance (rates start at around $55 a month) covers the rest.
In plain language, a person not enrolled in French healthcare pays $29 (€25) for a doctor's visit. Once registered in the system, that fee is $9—a 70% reduction. Specialist visits are $17 once enrolled, with the 70% off marker.
Hospital stays cost $112 (€100) a day, and are covered at 80% for the first month (meaning that you pay $22 a day), and at 100% for any additional length of time (meaning that you pay nothing).
Prescription drugs, already affordable compared to U.S. price tags, are covered up to 100%. One of my current medications costs $5.25 (€4.70), off the system.
These costs are fixed by the government, and whether you visit a top clinic in Paris, or your village practitioner down the street, a doctor's visit will always be $9. These fees, as well as specialist visits, hospital stays, and exams like MRIs, have not increased since I arrived in 2010.
Another incredible feature of the French healthcare system is that treatments for long-term illnesses are 100% covered. Designated une affection longue durée (ALD), or chronic illness, a patient's general practitioner submits a form to the healthcare service to initiate a treatment plan. A list of ALDs is available on the national healthcare website (see: Ameli.fr) and cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes type 1 and 2, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's figure among the illnesses eligible for 100% treatment coverage.

Peter Jordan (* 15. Jahrhundert; † um 1560/1570 wahrscheinlich in Köln) war ein deutscher Drucker und Autor. Er betrieb unter anderem von 1531 bis 1535 in Mainz die siebte Druckerwerkstatt seit Johannes Gutenberg im Haus "Zur güldenen Lederhose".

Leben
Peter Jordan stammte wahrscheinlich aus der Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Dort war er seit 1529 als Drucker tätig. 1531 siedelte er nach Mainz über und führte in der Holzgasse das Druckhandwerk fort. Kurze Zeit zuvor war Johann Schöffer verstorben, was auswärtigen Buchdrucker möglicherweise in der Hoffnung gestärkt haben mag, an Stelle der Schöfferschen Offizin den Mainzer Buchmarkt mit eigenen Druckerzeugnissen bedienen zu können. Das Sortiment Peter Jordans zeichnete sich vor allem durch volkstümliche Drucke, wie beispielsweise Ratgeber aus, die oftmals gut illustriert waren. Jordans erster Mainzer Druck war 1531 das Bockspiel Martin Luthers (VD16 ZV 20425). Sein letztes Werk erschien am 22. Oktober 1535 unter mit dem Titel Die Predigt Evangelischer Wahrheit (VD16 N 230). Dies war eine umfangreiche Predigtsammlung des Mainzer Dompredigers und späteren Bischofs von Wien, Friedrich Nausea. Bereits im Jahr 1532, ein Jahr später, druckte er im Mainzer Haus "Zur güldenen Lederhose" (siehe Impressum in VD16 K1621), in dem er zur Miete wohnte.

Im Jahr 1534 druckte Jordan sein bekanntestes Werk, eine äußerst aufwendig mit 179 Holzschnitten von Hans Sebald Beham und Anton Beham illustrierte, großformatige deutschsprachige Vollbibel. Die von dem Mainzer Dominikaner-Prior Johann Dietenberger vollständig ins Deutsche übersetzten Teile der Bibel konnte Jordan dank der verlegerischen Unterstützung des Kölner Großdruckers Peter Quentel produzieren. Ganz im Sinne des ebenfalls im Dienste der Gegenreformation druckenden Quentel war diese romfreundliche Übersetzung als Maßnahme gegen die überaus erfolgreiche deutsche Bibelübersetzung durch Martin Luther gedacht. Während seiner Tätigkeit als Drucker in Mainz entstanden von 1532 bis 1535 insgesamt 35 Drucke.

Der Grund für das Ende seiner Drucktätigkeit waren wahrscheinlich finanzielle Engpässe, die durch den Wegzug seines Mainzer Gönners und Geldgebers Friedrich Nausea nach Wien verursacht worden waren. Zumindest diese Problemlage schildert Jordan dem Kaiser Ferdinand I. in seiner Zueignung des Drucks Coelestium rerum discipplinae von Johannes Stöffler (VD16 S 9193) aus dem Jahr 1535. Interessant ist in diesem Zusammenhang auch, dass das volkstümliche und ausstattungsreiche Sortiment nicht ohne finanzielle Subventionierung den Druckbetrieb decken konnte. Immerhin war es Jordan in dieser Zeit gelungen, zum privilegierten Drucker des Mainzer Domkapitels aufzusteigen.

Peter Jordan betätigte sich spätestens seit 1536 auch als Autor. So erschien in diesem Jahr bei Matthias Apiarius in Straßburg sein Werk Aureum Seculum (= Goldenes Zeitalter, VD16 J 925). Darin formulierte er in Form eines Reimspiels ein vorzeitiges Lob an Kaiser Karl V. und dessen Amtszeit. Spätestens seit 1540 ist er dann Einwohner der Stadt Köln und führt dort seine literarische Tätigkeit fort. Aus dem Jahr 1552 stammt noch ein Druck, den er auf der Presse des Kölner Druckerverlegers und Autors, Jasper von Gennep, druckte.

Sein Buchdruckerzeichen war eine Sanduhr, darauf oben eine von zwei Händen getragene Kugel und unten eine andere mit zwei Flügeln.

Obwohl die "Leyenschul" nicht explizit für den Unterricht schwachbegabter Kinder konzipiert wurde, wird Peter Jordan als ein Vorbild für die Heilpädagogik angesehen. Jordan erhielt dadurch in der Geschichte der Sonderpädagogik einen hohen Stellenwert. Ihm zu Ehren wurden die Sonderpädagogischen Förderzentren in Mainz und Berlin "Peter-Jordan-Schule" benannt.

Regional Data Dashboard
CLP Dual Enrollment Report includes CVHEC member campuses
Several Central Valley Higher Education Consortium-member institutions are highlighted in a recent Career Ladders Project (CLP) report designed to map the existing landscape of dual enrollment in the CVHEC's region.
The report "provides an overview of the state of dual enrollment in the eight-county Central Valley region, with a focus on the nine college/high school dual enrollment partnerships in the service areas of the community foundations. Together, these partnerships represent nine community colleges and over 70 school districts, high schools, and charter schools."
The participating CVHEC members were Bakersfield College, Clovis Community College, College of the Sequoias, Fresno City College, Madera College, Merced College, Modesto Junior College, Reedley College and San Joaquin Delta College.
The first part of the report profiles the partnership sites. Each profile includes a list of the college and K-12 partners, enrollment data broken out by race/ ethnicity, and challenges and promising practices identified through interviews with practitioners supporting students in dual enrollment.
The second part looks at common challenges and promising practices emerging across the region and distills them into thematic groupings.
"These themes offer insights into broad regional approaches and state policy changes needed to support expansion of equitable, quality dual enrollment," the report explains.
The report was published March 22 at the request of several area foundations "seeking to expand dual enrollment as part of an overall postsecondary acceleration and completion strategy for students in the Central Valley" as the Governor's proposed 2022-23 state budget calls for a significant investment in dual enrollment.

Here's a copy of the email I sent to all the Spectre Kickstarter backers. I'll continue to mirror those here on my website.
I assure you that every dollar donated to support this short film has been saved and used for the project. We're within our budget and I still plan to fulfill all backer rewards. Once we get to that point, I'll reach out to ensure I have up to date contact information from everyone.
Here's a look at a piece of concept art we created for the ghast monster. The ghast is the antagonistic force in this movie, and also one of the biggest challenges to design, model, animate, and render. I have a lot of imagery to share for this monster, and I'll definitely send it all to you as we get closer to finishing the project. But for now, I'll just share this teaser image. This was the primary image used by our VFX artist to model the monster.
I know you've hard this before, and I don't blame you for being skeptical, but I'm going to keep everybody up to date as we near the finish line. I don't have a release date yet, but I'd like to try and shoot for this summer. Let's see how it goes!
Thanks again for all your continued support.

Beneath its distinctive exterior, the Honda Odyssey is a family-friendly minivan with a flexible cabin that can be configured to seat eight passengers or haul up to 158.8 cubic feet of cargo. This practicality, along with capable handling and admirable fuel efficiency, makes the Odyssey one of the top choices in the minivan segment.
The latest Odyssey is a far more stylish minivan than the model it replaces. Up front, the Odyssey has been treated to a more modern-looking fascia complete with chrome grille trim and available LED headlights. The Odyssey's hood is a new design and features a more muscular look than before.
The flanks of the Odyssey retain the van's now signature "lightning bolt" belt line, but the whole look has been smoothed out for a more streamlined look. Adding a touch of style, the Odyssey features a set of floating D-pillars. Rear lights wraparound the tailgate and feature LED technology as standard.
Inside is where the new Odyssey really shines, however, with a myriad of new convenience features intended to make life on-the-go a little easier. On top-trim models you'll find Honda's latest Cabin Talk system, which uses an integrated microphone to boom the driver's voice through the rear speakers or through the rear entertainment headphones. There is also a new Cabin Watch system that allows easy viewing of the second row via a camera mounted on the ceiling.
Joining Honda's third-row Magic Seat for the new model year is a new Magic Slide second-row seat. In addition to having the ability to slide fore and aft like many second row seats, the Magic Slide system adds the ability to move the second-row seat from side-to-side once the center section is removed. The Magic Slide seat makes for a much more versatile cabin that can be reconfigured on an as-needed basis.
Older kids will enjoy the Odyssey's newly available Wi-Fi hotspot and Cabin Control app that allows the van's rear seat entertainment system to be controlled via a smartphone. That app also gives rear-seat passenger control of the van's rear ventilation system.
Materials are good throughout the Odyssey's cabin, giving it the feeling of a much more premium vehicle. Packaging is excellent in the Odyssey, with plenty of storage areas for all of life's modern necessities. The latest Odyssey features an all-new infotainment system with improved graphics and better capabilities, including the ability to run Android Auto and Apple CarPlay on select models. Honda's HondaVac returns to the Odyssey's option list for the new model year.
The Odyssey is just as adapt at hauling cargo as it is hauling people thanks to a large trunk area. Behind the third row seats you'll find up to 38.6 cubic feet of space. Stow the Odyssey's third-row seats and that figure grows to 92.3 cubic feet, depending on trim. Remove the second-row for maximum cargo capacity and the Odyssey will swallow up to 158.8 cubic feet worth of stuff.
All Odyssey models are powered by a 3.5L V6 that develops 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Volume models receive a nine-speed automatic while top-trim Touring and Elite models use an all-new ten-speed automatic transmission. Regardless of transmission, the front-wheel drive Odyssey is rated at 19mpg in the city and 28mpg on the highway.
The Odyssey is offered in LX, EX, EX-L, EX-L Navi/RES, Touring and Elite trim levels.
The Odyssey LX model ships standard with automatic climate control, push button start, power-adjustable front seats (eight-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger), five-inch infotainment screen, backup camera, Bluetooth hands-free, LED taillights and USB charging ports.
Stepping up to the Odyssey EX trim-level nets automatic headlights, exterior temperature gauge, chrome door handles, body-colored side mirrors with integrated turn indicators, tri-zone climate control, Magic Slide second row seats, 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats and an eight-inch LCD Display Audio system with SiriusXM Radio, HD Radio and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. EX and above models also receive Honda's safety suite, which includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high-beams and blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert.
The EX-L trim adds leather seats, a power moonroof, memory-linked side mirrors with reverse gear tilt-down and a power tailgate. A Navi/RES package can be added to the EX-L trim and adds the Cabin Talk PA system, a 10.2-inch rear video system and Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation.
The Odyssey Touring offers buyers LED fog- and headlights, body-colored side sills, foot-activated rear tailgate, HondaVac, a third-row center armrest, Cabin Watch, HondaLink and a mobile hotspot.
Odyssey Elite models come fully loaded with features like an 11-speaker premium audio system, wireless phone charger, ventilated front seat, heated steering wheel and acoustic glass for the windshield and front- and rear-doors.
All Odyssey models come standard with dual front airbags, front side airbags, driver's and front passenger's knee airbags, three-row side curtain airbags, vehicle stability assist, ABS and electronic brake distribution. All Odyssey models, save for the base LX model, get Honda's aforementioned safety suite, which includes advanced systems like automatic emergency braking and a collision mitigation system.
The Honda Odyssey competes against the Chrysler Pacifica, Kia Sedona and Toyota Sienna.

Peg Bearskin – Facsimile Edition
Out of print. Watch for a new edition of this story, with new illustratons, coming in 2019!
11 x 8 1/2
adapted by Philip Dinn & Andy Jones
with original linocut illustrations by Elly Cohen
Named to the International Youth Library's 2004 White Ravens List
Shortlisted for the 2004/05 Hackmatack Reading Award
… and Peg lay down on the floor, but she couldn't sleep. She twisted and turned all night, just couldn't get to sleep. There was something bad about that place, she could feel it right down into her bones. So she got up and she walked around the old woman's house. Now, she soon knew that the old woman was a witch, for in her kitchen she found a decanter that could never be emptied. She poured wine into it, turned it upside down, the wine flowed and flowed and flowed. Water same thing, milk same thing. Flowed and flowed. Never stopped. Then out in the barn, she found a lantern that could shine a half mile light. You didn't have to fill it. You didn't have to light it. All you had to do was touch it, and it shone for a half a mile. And touch it Peg did, and it shone for half a mile…..
– from Peg Bearskin
Peg's big, ugly and hairy, but she has the wit, tenacity and courage to outfox a witch and find husbands for her two beautiful sisters and one for herself as well. A typical folktale? Well, perhaps. But Peg is no typical heroine, and the ending of her story isn't typical either.
This story was adapted by Philip Dinn and Andy Jones for "Jack-Five-Oh," a storytelling play that marked the 50th anniversary of Newfoundland's entry into confederation with Canada. Mercedes Barry, who told the story in some versions of the play, also had input in the adapation.
It is taken from a version told by Mrs. Elizabeth Brewer of Freshwater, Placentia Bay, and collected in Halpert and Widdowson's Folktales of Newfoundland.
Elly Cohen's linocut illustrations were commissioned for the project.
Please note: the offset-printed version of this book does not come with a furry cover. If you are interested in that version of the book, you can find it in the listing of fiction titles.
The photos feature the letterpress-printed edition; this offset-printed is a facsimile of that handmade, limited edition book.

Eurekster to Google: Bring it on in custom search!
Google's official blog announcement of its Custom Search Engine service is headlined "Eureka! Your own search engine has landed!
Wouldn't it be cool if you could easily build a search engine on your blog or Website tailored to the topics and areas you know and love the most?
Is Google late to the custom search party?
Has Google given a nod to Eurekster, or is its "Eureka!" proclamation a mere coincidence? I asked Eurekster for its reaction.
I met with the Eurekster executive team, Steven Marder, CEO, and Grant Ryan, Chief Scientist, at the Search Engine Strategies Conference in August. They are seasoned industry pros and joined forces several years ago to "increase the value of search for everyone: end-users, community members, web publishers, site owners, advertisers, agencies and marketers," while aiming to build a solid business.
Google has been listening and watching us drive innovation in this space for years and we are thrilled to learn that they have placed their big stamp of validation on our value proposition.
For years we've been developing IP and innovative tools that empower both online publishers to offer specialized search as well as advertisers to more effectively reach their targeted audience. Our unique Swicki Platform takes specialization and collaboration much further as it allows the publisher and advertiser to harness the collective wisdom of specific communities through their implicit behavior dynamically refining the search experience.
We continue to aggressively move the market forward in our lead role as an innovator and will continue to develop and commercially expand our unique approach to social search.
Relevance – From our tests, a Eurekster swicki compared to an equivalent Google Custom Search Engine (tailored by the owner with the same keywords and recommended and blocked URLs) produces more relevant results. This doesn't surprise us, as we have been refining our training algorithms for years. Once configured, swickis continue to learn and become more relevant based on the users' anonymous activity – in addition to users' explicit contributions. Learning from users who are 'just searching' is a central pillar of our technology.
Collaborative search results page – For the small percent of users who want to contribute affect the results, we find that the controls should be easily accessible on the results page and not just from a control panel. We enable swicki owners to easily reorder and focus the results page for specific searches or for the entire search engine. We also identify which results have been promoted or demoted explicitly and implicitly by the moderator and the community, so users know why a particular result is being shown.
Community activity – The swicki BuzzCloud shows what other users within the community are searching for – guided by the publisher, it dynamically encapsulates the swicki community's vertical, social or geographic personality and context. For the publisher and advertiser, it provides valuable trend data and business intelligence – an invaluable tool for keeping on top of the audience's concerns and interests to make sure that there are relevant results or even post original content.
Eurekster shares ad revenue with swicki publishers, who currently can select up to three advertising programs–CPC and CPA-based text, image and widget-based ads–to appear on results pages. In addition, Eurekster has a preferred placement program for purchasing pay-per-click sponsored listings on swicki results pages.
Will Google click fraud increase with Custom Search Engines?


The U.S. Supreme Court rule this month in Missouri v. McNeely, No. 11-1425 that the decision of whether to get a warrant to draw blood in a DUI case will be judged on its own facts. There will be no bright-line rule on whether a warrant is or isn't needed.
According to Lyle Denniston at the SCOTUSBlog, none of the Court's four opinions — a majority, two separate opinions supporting the result, and one dissenting opinion — said that officers investigating drunk-driving cases must always get a warrant. But the majority did say that the Fourth Amendment does not allow police to get a blood sample without ever having to get a warrant, in any case (as the dissenting opinion suggested). So that sets up the case-by-case approach, suggesting that getting a warrant very likely would remove the doubt.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy vote was necessary to make a majority for the requirement that each case be judged on its own facts, his separate opinion may have special importance for local governments and their police forces as they decided how to react to the new ruling.
Every suspected DUI person has the right to refuse to get the breathalyzer test. This will be use as evidence to face in court. Ask legal advice from DUI lawyer regarding this matter so that you will be safe keep.


As network and input technologies have improved rapidly, researches in information retrieval have become more important than ever. An user-friendly and efficient query interface will certainly facilitate utilization of an information retrieval system. In this paper, a linguistic approach to Chinese query models is proposed and investigated. It includes Chinese linguistic variables, quantifiers and combination queries. Meanwhile, an improved computation method is proposed to handle general conjunctive queries, and it is proved to be better than traditional fuzzy computation in terms of a higher level of retrieval satisfaction. Experimental results also verify that the proposed quantifiers do not only simplify a multi-criteria request, but also yield a higher level of retrieval satisfaction than do Boolean queries.

$0 Electric Bill!
About Bills Wiz
Do Mini Fridges Use a Lot of Electricity?
January 6, 2022 by Amjad
Do mini fridges use a lot of electricity and increase your bill?
How different are they from big fridges and from other appliances? How much do they cost to run? And how to keep their running costs as low as possible?
I am an electrical engineer and a certified energy manager, and I wrote this short guide in order to help you answer these questions and know if it is find to get a small refrigerator and a mini freezer or not.
Without further ado, let's begin!
How Much Electricity Does a Mini Fridge Use?
How Much Does a Mini Fridge Cost to Run?
Good Habits Reduce The Running Cost of a Small Fridge
Conclusion – Small Fridges Don't Break The Bank
Mini fridges do not use a lot of electricity, and they are considered one of the small loads that do not add a lot to the electricity bill, and they consume a little bit than the big fridges that are considered to be small-medium size loads.
A mini fridge can be considered to an equivalent to using1-2 light bulbs of 25-watts, and the actual consumption depends on the size of the mini-fridge, the brand, and the use that differ from one to another.
What Affects The Energy Consumption of a Small Fridge?
How much electricity a small (and a big) refrigerator uses depends on many factors, such as:
The brand and the efficiency level of the mini fridge (Energy Star certified or not).
The size of the mini fridge.
Does it come with a freezer (not a big effect).
How often you open its door, for how long, and how often you add warm stuff to it.
The cooling setting you leave it on.
Do you clean the condenser coils on regular basis.
Do you keep it with enough space behind it where the air can move easily, or is it in a confined space that makes it difficult on the coils to find cool air around them.
A mini fridge uses around 25-80 watts in order to run, depending on its size, efficiency, and the personal use, as explained in the previous section above.
That's the power required to run the mini fridge on continuous basis.
The amount of energy the mini fridge uses is around 0.025-0.08 kWh (kilowatt hour) per hour of operation.
In a full day, the mini fridge uses around 0.6-1.9 kilowatt-hours of electricity. (Multiply the numbers above by 24)
And over a month, a mini fridge uses between 18-57 kWh of electric energy that is added to the utility meter. (Multiply the daily consumption by 30)
In a year, the total electricity consumption of a small fridge would be in the range of 219-694 kWh. (Multiply the daily use by 365)
And if you check out the specifications of the different mini fridges, you will find that the estimated annual consumption ranges between 220-350 kWh for normal mini fridges, with or without a freezer.
And you might find some special mini fridges that consume a little bit more like the small cooler with a glass door.
How Much Electricity Does a Mini Freezer Use?
A mini freezer uses anywhere between 0.5-0.7 kWh of electricity per day, which accumulates into 15-21 kWh per month, and around 190-250 kWh per year, which is not a lot.
Do Small Refrigerators Increase Your Electric Bill?
A small fridge can increase your electric bill if it was added to your appliances, not as a replacement to a big fridge.
However, the increase on your electric bill due to a mini fridge is not that significant, unlike the space heater for example that consumes a lot of electricity when run for many hours a day.
Mini fridges are usually energy efficient small appliances that do not cost a lot in order to run.
A mini fridge costs between 9 cents to 27 cents to run per day, based on the energy consumption range of 0.6-1.9 kWh per day, and the average electricity price of around 14 cents per kWh.
How Much Does a to Run a Mini Fridge per Month?
Per month, a mini fridge would cost around $2.7 – $8.1 to run, based on the estimated consumption range of 0.6-1.9 kilowatt hour per day, and the average electricity rate of 14 cents per kilowatt hour.
Notice that these are the average estimates of what it would cost to run a small refrigerator.
The exact costs depend on the actual consumption of each small fridge, and on the actual electricity rate as energy companies charge different rates from one another.
For example, in New York, where the rate is around 20.6 cents per kWh, the cost of running the mini fridge would be around $3.7-$11.7 per month.
And in Idaho, where the rate is around 10.6 cents per kWh, the monthly cost of running the mini fridge would be around $1.9-$6.
These estimates include mini fridges that include either just a refrigerator cabin, or both, a refrigerator and a freezer in the same unit.
How Much Does a to Run a Mini Freezer per Month?
The cost of running the mini freezer would range between 7-10 cents a day, or $2.1-$3 a month, based on the average electricity rate of 14 cents/kWh.
The actual cost depends on the brand, capacity, efficiency, and usage of the freezer, and on the actual electricity price in your area.
Mini fridges do not operate on full load all the time, as they have good insulation, and the low temperature, once reached, can be maintained for a long period of time while running the fridge's condenser on a lower speed.
Opening the mini-fridge frequently and leaving the door open for long periods of time let's the cool air escape, which makes it work on full load again until it maintains the low temperature that is set for it.
Also, not cleaning the dusty coils on the back of the mini fridge makes the condenser work harder than necessary in order to reach and maintain the low temperature inside it.
And not leaving enough space behind the mini fridge (at least 10 centimeters or 4 inches), or leaving it in a corner or in a confined space like a small cabinet, all make it difficult to replace the air around the condenser coils, which makes them get warm, and leads the mini fridge to using more energy working on full load for a longer period of time until it reaches the desired temperature.
Mini fridges are small appliances that do not use a lot of electricity, but make sure that you don't leave their doors open all the time so that they don't add a lot to your electric bill.
And when buying a new one, consider getting a good energy efficient mini fridge that is Energy Star certified, like some of the Black+Decker mini fridges and Insignia mini fridges, as this certificate for mini fridges means that they use 20% less energy than the standard mini fridges.
I hope that my short article was helpful for you, and you know now how much it would cost you to use a mini fridge, and how to keep its consumption low.
If you still have another question or need any help on this topic, please, let me know in the comments' section below, and I will do my best to help you out 🙂

20.03.14 Human Rights Citizenship Revoked
Helena Kennedy QC: 'Citizenship is not a privilege, it is a protected legal status'
By Helena Kennedy QC
A few months ago the Supreme Court decided in the case of Hilal al Jedda that it could not withdraw citizenship from an individual if this would leave him or her stateless. The Government does not take well to judgments saying it has done something contrary to law.
Increasingly, the response is not to reflect on whether the course of action might be ill-considered but just to change the law. Blow a raspberry at the judges.
'Deprivation of citizenship is not a viable alternative to the responsible prosecution of alleged criminal conduct'
Theresa May has been quietly taking away passports from people for some time. The Home Secretary has announced that 27 UK citizens have had their passports removed. It is known that at least 15 of these were abroad but the precise number is uncertain because the government is refusing to disclose the complete figure.
At least two of those whose families received the official Notice of Deprivation were suspiciously killed afterwards by the use of US drones.
Another, Mahdi Hashi, was picked up by Djibouti's secret police, whom he told he was British. After calls, the agents told him the British authorities said he was no longer a British citizen. He had no other passport and was therefore rendered stateless. This meant he had no access to consular advice as to his rights; no representations were made that he should be brought before a court. As a result he was interrogated at length with no legal protection, handed over to American agents, further interrogated and then hooded and flown to the US without any extradition proceedings.
Related story – Missing British-Somali man reappears in New York court
The proposal to allow the Home Secretary to deprive a naturalised citizen of his or her citizenship not only risks damaging the UK's international relations but also risks breaching a whole swathe of international obligations. The reason the government gives is that they want to prevent terrorism, but deprivation of citizenship is not a viable alternative to the responsible prosecution of alleged criminal conduct.
Citizenship is not a privilege; it is a protected legal status. The US, Germany and many other states would not dream of removing citizenship under any circumstances. The answer to conduct we deem criminal is to prosecute it.
'The UK has no right to expect other states to accept its outcasts'
Deprivation with all its consequences in the modern world is equivalent to a penal sanction of the most serious kind – but imposed without a criminal trial, without conviction, without close and open examination of the evidence and without the opportunity to defend yourself.
All of this is contrary to due process – a fundamental human right.
The UK has no right to expect other states to accept its outcasts. If the UK removes the citizenship of someone while they are in the UK, what are we going to do? Press an obliging state to take them on? Export our terrorist problem to some other place? Isn't the threat of international terrorism one that nations were seeking to address collectively? Is our security really going to be improved? And what will the impact be of creating two tiers of citizenship – those who are natural, free-born Brits who cannot ever be rendered stateless, and the immigrant who becomes naturalised but can be rendered stateless?
The position of those deprived of citizenship while abroad is also complicated. Another state is entitled to feel aggrieved if they allow someone to enter because they bear a British passport but then find that they are lumbered with a stateless person. They would be entitled in law to put them directly on to a plane and send them right back to Britain, as a problem for Britain to deal with. How this helps our security is hard to imagine.
Related story – Lawyers warn that proposed statelessness powers may be illegal
Even if the person is entitled in principle to apply for citizenship of another state, why would any other state entertain such an application from someone barred from British citizenship because we consider them a threat to national security?
Deprivation of citizenship is another way of avoiding the old-fashioned process of putting people on trial if they are suspected of doing wrong. It is a way of short-cutting the rule of law. Hannah Arendt said that statelessness deprives people of 'the right to have rights'. It is a policy that has been used by the worst tyrannical regimes. It was why so many people wandered the world stateless after the Second World War and why in 1961 the UK with other nations signed up to the UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. This intended change in the law will be a source of shame to us in the years to come. It must be opposed by us all.
Baroness Helena Kennedy QC is one of the UK's top human rights lawyers and a Labour member of the House of Lords. She is the lead barrister in Mahdi Hashi's appeal against the loss of his citizenship. Her personal website is here.
In the Comment section of our website, we invite leading commentators and those expert in their field to comment on the Bureau's work, its impact and public policy issues associated with our investigations. The views expressed here are the views of the writer, not of the Bureau.

If you're looking for an example website using the Twenty Sixteen default WordPress theme, you've found it.
Our first submission is a WordPress website that's not flashy, but it is big. The site has nearly 800 pages. It's truthsaves.org. It's a collection of Christian testimonies, Christian poems, Bible book outlines . . . you get the idea. This website uses a former default WordPress theme — Twenty Sixteen.


Just as other medical professionals do, Doctors of Chiropractic use state of the art methods of diagnosis including consultation; orthopedic, neurological and physical examination; x-rays and other scanning technologies when needed. A Doctor of Chiropractic is also trained to identify indications of disease and will consult and refer to other specialists or recommend additional medical procedures to provide optimal care for a patient.
Because of philosophical differences, many myths have been circulated about Chiropractic. However, Chiropractic is scientific and studies continue to confirm that Chiropractic is successful not only for back pain but also for many health complaints.
Chiropractic philosophy recognizes that doctors do not heal, but rather a true healing comes from within you and is totally under the control of an internal force called Innate or Inborn Intelligence. A good example of this is when you break a bone or get a cut. The doctor will clean it and bandage it and if it is bad enough it may need stiches, but it is our Innate or Inborn life that does the healing. From our present level of research and understanding, the quantity and quality of this inborn life energy is transmitted and expressed through the nervous system. So, the purpose of Chiropractic Adjustment is to optimize nervous system function, thereby facilitating the body's ability to heal itself.
An adjustment is often combined with other natural therapeutic methods to facilitate healing. This may include any of the following: Heat, cold, light, massage, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound. Often stretching or strengthening exercise are utilized to help stabilize the patients spine and help the treatment to be longer lasting.
When treated promptly and efficiently, chiropractic care can benefit you in many ways and can provide relief from pain caused due to various conditions. Dr. Silcox is an educated, experienced and reputable practitioner capable of giving you excelent benefits from the treatment.


There is a lot of new work going on everywhere right now. Dad is working on a neat little desk. It's going to have juniper as the trim, and mom is going to be doing bead work on the back of the chair, and some small drawer fronts. This is the piece that we are taking to the Western Design Conference. Not a lot to take pictures of right now though, next week should be better.
Mom is working on a couple of things for the gallery in Jackson Hole.
The dress on the top is in the very beginning stages. The bead work is just getting started and none of the fringe has been cut. This is a child size dress that will be displayed in a bigger shadowbox. The blue trade wool dress is almost finished. It only needs the elk teeth, really hand carved bone replicas, sewn on the front. This dress is like one that mom made a year ago, but never wanted to sell. This will go in a shadowbox for display too.
The Turpin Gallery in Jackson Hole has sold two dress/shadowboxes in the last couple of months. So these are replacements.
Mom took a few pictures inside the gallery when we were there last.
Walnut table with "War Dance"
War Shirt, beaded pedestal, "The Storyteller"
People like these dolls too. Ronnie has sold a few of them. It was hard to get decent photos inside the gallery. The good camera was back at the trailer.
All this work is great, but it means no traveling for a while. :cry: I guess we'll have to settle for close hiking trips.

Wish you could hold that special someone that's on your mind? Well, this poem describes the feeling.
© 1999 Jules Please respect the rights of the author and Passions in Poetry. If you would like to use this poem on your own web page, please contact the Author. Thank you.
This peom really touched me thats how i felt about a person i loved once, and it discreabs every thing about it, like how you said "What i've been feeling all this time wishing you were mine".
I absolutely adore this poem! Not only is the cadence ultra mellifluous, but it is also short and sweet, conveying a powerful message in just the right number of words. I think the primary reason why I especially enjoyed reading this poem is that the emotion expressed really appeals to me. I know exactly what it feels like to love someone for a long period of time (5+yrs!) and not be able to tell him! What's funny is that my love interest hints at this mutual feeling too! I'll be sure to have him read it if we get together some day! I looooove this poem!
I know the feeling, being on the outside looking in. Now, I'm finally with the girl of my dreams. And now, after 4 months, she told me she liked me first. Anywayz, great job, keep up the good work!
This poem touched m heart, I feel it must have reached out to so many people. It's truly amazing.
This is the exact way i feel for my best friend Aaron but i am to scard to tell him. Great poem.
I can relate, I have had feelings for women in the past and wished we could develope a realationship.
I love this poem a lot!
I really like the poem!
This is a peom that really hits home for me. I'm so inlove with this guy and have been for 5 years. We are having our first date fri and I hope he feels the same as I have felt for so long.
I understand how you feel. i have this friend and he knows that i like him but i dont think he really knows how i feel about him. I love him so much and the only thing i want is to be loved in return by him. hes the perfect person for me i wish that he was mine but theres another problem he moved to a different town i still get to see him just not as much as i would like to and my biggest fear is that he will become close to somebody there. good luck with your relationship!
This poem is so awesome. it makes me feel the same way a/b this dude named Jeremy who i've been in love w/ for almost 3 years. but he won't go out w/ me b/c he goes to a different high school!
I really like this poem. It fits how I feel about a girl I go to school with. She means more than anything to me, but, we may never be together.
I like this poem, good job.


This is a duplicate feature request, but previous requests are essentially dead and start off with the wrong terminology.
For the unaware, an M/E is essentially what you have in vMix already, but only one. Traditional switchers have an M/E or 4 or 8 to allow technical directors to build multi part scenes and take those live, to use multiple ME in split screen interview situations, among many other creative things.
vMix already takes care of the effects side of an M/E by including 10 sources in each input. However there is still only 1 mixer in the system and there is no ability to pipe different mixes to different output as one might do in a live event situation. So essentially vMix is a 1M/1000E.
The Newtek tricaster, a main vMix competition, includes multiple mixers. This includes 4 M/E on the 410, 460, Mini advance, and TC1 model and more on some of the others like IP series. The newtek device is a fully software platform much like vMix. It is however worth noting that the vMix software already has a 10 input effects engines in each input, making it more powerful for single output production which do not rely on multiple mixers.
In live event work (my industry) it is often a requirement to use multiple mixers. That is why the barco FSN (about $100,000 fully loaded) is a mainstay in my work. There are several other competitors such as grass valley, other barco models, Ross, and now black magic. In fact black magic has recently revealed a small form factor switcher and control surface with 4 M/E with a panel at under $10,000.
The downside of hardware is first the cost and also the input standards required. I cannot use NDI with the barco (natively) i can not mix and match input resolutions and frame rate. Because of that, the cost of entry is greater due to standards conversion and rack space required. Typically a switcher will live in a 20-24 U shock mounted case with a router, format converters, and patch bay. Depending on the company, sometimes CCUs are also in that Rack too. Since I rent my cameras this means the CCUs sit on top. This means that a vMix solution could potentially be in a 4U shock mount rack. Indeed, this is how I transport my vMix today. A perceived upside of hardware is high resilience, stability, and manufactured quality.
The Tricaster has long been thought of as a "real" switcher. While a UPS would be highly recommended for any mission critical hardware, nobody would think twice about a tricaster in the small to medium sized event space. These devices have been used on much larger budget production. PC, when done right, has a MTBF similar to hardware. And for what it's worth, I can reboot my vMix on Windows 10 and be up and running in less than 20 seconds. I have personally seen many tricaster of these installed in houses of worship where they provide more than the needed resilience for that market and come in at an OK cost. So to that vMix is not suitable for a certain kind of production I think this loses credibility when you look at the full picture which includes tricaster being used in in place of hardware switchers right now.
The interface of vMix presents some challenges in turning it into a multi M/E mixer. potentially the best solution to this would be in making a new kind of input called an M/E and allowing something like a double click on an input to open an additional window. This could be aided by a systemwide limit on the number of M/E (probably 8) to aide shortcut creation and limit system burden. For instance, an XKEYS layout could have 8 buttons hard coded to set This would basically be like a virtual set but instead of smooth transitions between camera angles it would be fades and cuts between camera angles. It is likely that each virtual M/E would allow selection of its first 8 inputs for preview and auto/cut from the main control panel. It is also likely that systemwide M/E delegated inputs numbered 1-300 would be helpful so users could create a system similar to the new Blackmagic 1 M/E panel or the tricaster Mini or TC1 panel with a single strip for ME preview program. (Ie treat the ME preview and program bus buttons as variables and allow them to point to whichever M/E was presently delegated).
1. Use overlays to at least get transitions on secondary outputs - this works but is extremely confusing and unhelpful when needing to actually run a real intense show.
As such, my current workaround is hiring one, with the plan to buy a tricaster assuming vMix does not meet my needs before that purchase makes business sense.
I have compiled all similar feature requests, only one of which accurately refers to this as being an M/E issue. The other feature requests represent your community of users who are attempting to do something which was solved by the addition of M/E to vision mixers long ago. I am not a history expert, but the M/E has references in technical documentation in the 1970s.
This is a feature in the tricaster which appears prominently in their marketing copy and usually in the product blurbs on product lists. It is THE primary spec on many switchers (which is unsurprising, as input count is frequently determined by the number of cards). Black magic switchers are almost all identical except this one difference. It is a lost business opportunity for vMix. It would be extremely beneficial to vMix reseller / hardware solution resellers and implementation because it would allow them to provide an end to end solution for customers with multiple screens. This feature would also benefit my immensely as I would be able to save myself tens of thousands of dollars which is why I decided to work so long on researching and writing this request.
regarding the M/E question : in vMix all inputs are potential M/Es, that makes vMix a 1000 M/E switcher.
I have it on good authority that the inputs cannot be made into mixers. Effects yes mixers no.
My goal with this feature request is to dismiss any ambiguity that vMix in it's current state is capable of driving two outputs with transitions.
Especially the part where I demo how to switch inside multiview (M/E).
In its current state vMix is capable of driving 4 outputs, not 2.
I agree that outputs 2 to 4 are only CUT (which is a transition anyway).
However, as you compared vMix with Tricaster, let's consider what you can do for the same price.
One Tricaster costs at least the same as 2 vMix (with decent hardware).
You gotta understand that vMix is not a traditional switcher. If you expect vMix to behave as one, you'll be disappointed but you also miss the point.
vMix is not perfect, it lacks some pro features, like color correction (CCU equivalent) and a few other things, it has latency on the outputs for IMAG... But for only a fraction of the cost compared to the competition, it brings to open-minded and creative people so much more for 90% of what is required for live production.
I'm back to your post. Your excellent english makes it difficult for me to fully understand all of your arguments (I agree on some of them btw) so I will try to answer what I consider "not so true"
output 3 goes to remote guests via vMixCall for example.
None of these outputs are showing the same thing at the same moment. All of them are switchable anytime.
Are you underlying vMix should offer the same things for $1200 as those equipments between $10,000 and $100,000?
I quite don't understand your point here... Yes a Ferrari costs more than a regular car... and also offers more features/power and so on. And I don't understand the point of comparing 2 products which are not in the same category.
All those markets already use vMix and don't really need more M/E (most users don't even know what it is). I agree that at some certain level (high end) vMix is not the solution but who cares? At this level, companies have the means to buy the equipments you referred to before. It's not the same customers, not the same budgets. Nobody here claims that you can do $20,000+ productions with vMix. But in the range of $3000 to $15000 I believe I can do more with vMix setups and a small crew than with a competition solution.
As of latency, it's been explained in the forum before, don't expect vMix to be zero latency cause the hardware it relies on is not zero latency. I agree that if the goal is IMAG, vMix is not the solution (As I said before I go for a mix of hardware and software setups when I need this > BMD or Barco or Analogway).
- most of them are 2 or 3 years old and have been solved one way or another.
- as you may notice I was the OP of that one about M/E. Meanwhile I have worked and tried to take advantage of everything vMix has to offer and found multiple ways to achieve what I initially requested. Yes still lacking fades sometimes but 95% of the TV/Live production relies on CUTS. The client wants fades? OK, I can do it, I just charge a lot more for these 2 seconds (that changes nothing in the end imho). OK they pay extra, I bring 2 vMix. They don't, I do cuts.

I'm shocked there isn't wide support for this. When I emailed vMix support they told me to go here to make a suggestion. I think the suggestion page feels like a trap, because between this, and my previous post in the general discussion asking if it could be achieved, the overwhelming point is that "I don't want what I am asking for".
I don't want a bespoke solution!!! I want something that is easy to train people on and not complicated.
I have worked with all of the products you mentioned and more. Each of these products has its own place and purpose. You did not even get into screen blending technologies which can also be built and incorporated with PC solutions. vMix is not really a multi output solution but with the outputs does have, you can do a lot of things with scripting. I now use scripting exclusively instead of relying on any triggers what so ever, they are way more powerful and actually easier to maintain then trying to use triggers. They are very similar to the world of Ross Custom Controls. I have scripts that run stingers as transitions in inputs all the time. No they are not fades or DVE's we do some pretty high impact stuff.
I agree with most of what Guillaume has said, especially in the area of latency. Lip sync I mag applications will be difficult in general on critical shows with vMix as the main solution. Also on complicated live shows vMix will always be complicated. It is too deep too just build shows on the fly. It is absolutely awesome what you can do with it when you prebuild a solution for a particular show.
Yes in general I would like to see more outputs and functionality there but I am not sure it is the deal breaker for many people in terms of priority of new features.
For my customers without the budget for me to rent in a proper switcher I think the lip sync is a non issue. But funny enough I find the input delay to be quite minimal. At one point I was unhappy but then I realized it was the scaler I was using on my video wall. What I ended up doing in end end seemed extremely low latency and what's more I would have to use that scaler with a hardware switch. OTOH absolutely nothing will beat a properly standards based environment and the scaling I do on the wall is admittedly a nicety as the scaler built in to the processor, while it looks like trash, is instantaneous and I'm just... Very picky.
For me the real limitations on running two vMix rig are operator confusion with two separate PCs. I realize now that there may be some way to preconfigured NDI. I wish I could name streams instead of just rely on auto discovery.
Regarding screen blending, look into Arkaos media master. I have used that software with vMix to create a hybrid system. They just updated the blending software to be even more powerful. I am looking to do more ultra wide format like that. Obviously an E2 would be the "right tool for the job" but mediamaster does the trick for me.
There is so much going on here. I really think I could be on to something special by allowing a new type of input, kind of like a virtual set, where producers can stage something on the fly.
Just to add my 2 cents - what's being discussed is a conceptual shift, not merely adding a feature. If you're accustomed to traditional switchers with multiple M/Es, vMix must seem very foreign indeed. I would argue that in asking for M/Es you're trying to adapt vMix to what you know vs getting to know vMix.
If what you're seeking is multiple outputs, say to offer separate clean and branded output, perhaps wholesale switching to an M/E based thought process isn't necessary.
I admit that I could be way out-to-lunch on this. Ages ago I lived through a similar debate when there were a couple of new switchers designed for layering vs traditional production. Anyone remember the Abekas A66?
Sounds like to me he wants at least two outputs, both that can operate as a production switcher with separate transitions (and possible DSK's) used on each output.
You can do this now by operating multiple instances of vMix on the one computer. Read the help files and this forum for how to do this. Bring in camera sources from the 1st instance via NDI. Specify the output to a discrete monitor on the graphics card or external output card.
OR if you simply want a clean/dirty output use the various output settings available in the single instance.
My thought process is to start with what you want to achieve then look for how to do it, using the current functionality. 9/10 times vMix will give you a way.
One of the key things I think of with each new release is how I can make features in vMix easier to use.
to one of the many outputs now available in vMix.
Many have pointed out that there are ways of achieving some of this already, but I am the first to admit there could certainly be improvements to the ease of use in this area!
So what I am interested in gauging in these feature request, is how many would benefit from an easier UI workflow for changing those additional outputs?
There are a few use cases where I can imagine this might be useful, and as vMix users tend to be an imaginative and resourceful bunch I am sure you can think of potential benefits as well.
So +1 if you agree! Bonus points for suggestions on how you think it should be implemented.
This is a very interresting subject. We also have this need in our usage and currently we do the trick of setting up shortcuts that act on SetMultiViewOverlay to fake secondarys mix outputs.
Martin, I think there is a need to take the vMix UI to the next level to optimize these workflows. vMix UI is perfect for simple usage and I think it should probably remain as is on default. But as vMix allows more and more complex productions, the UI start to become a bottleneck. Bigger screens (think 4K 43", ultrawide 34") or multiscreen setups can provide all the surface needed to monitor everything, but yet the actual vMix UI can't really take advantage of them because of fixed UI.
So I'd like to suggest an approach where the default vMix interface stay the same, but where any elements (inputs pools, outputs views with or without preview, audio mixer, lists, vMix call status page..) is resizable and freely dockable where you want it to be. Someting like Adobe Premiere, etc. I think the ability to have the input setup windows dockable at a fixed place could be great, because it allow live modifications with less distraction for the production.
I've made some modifications that suggest how multiple output mixes would be handled.
vMixsuggest.png (85kb) downloaded 25 time(s).
+1 to Hirbels resizable and dockagle elements. ...Rowby.
Let's analyze the possibilities of vMIx in relation to the issue of video outputs.
How? = 2 FullScreen, 2 external/NDI and 2 NDI (and the plus is that these outputs can be assigned the main screen or any input that is available in vMix.
On the other hand, if each entry of vMix has 10 overlays, and when using the switches to activate and deactivate each of the overlays, then practically each entry becomes a minimixer with a cutting transition.
Now, what would happen if instead of just cutting directly the superpopulations, you add the option of choosing a transition for the switching of each superposition, and in the case of using xaml graphics these take their transition of IN / OUT of the design (from the same way overlays are activated currently). The result would be a complete minimixer for each vMix entry with transition and dynamic graphics.
Wow ... the incredible potential that vMix will have ... is another level.
It is only in you to imagine how they would use it.
to using resizable and separate windows for video previews, so this is not likely to be possible unfortunately.

The Sounds and Smells of My Childhood
Growing Up in the Soo's East End in the 1950s
by Mike McCarthy
Format : Hardcover
Format : E-Book
Dimensions : N/A
This book is a short, lovely memoir of the author's childhood, based on the song/poem written by David Mallett, "I Knew This Place." A place that was unique, very historic, and very loving, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, was a hustling and bustling community in the 1950s. All predictions were it would become the next Chicago. The Sounds and Smells of My Childhood is a nostalgic journey. It brings the reader back in time to that place of their own youth, of fond memories, of laughter and tears.
Mike McCarthy (R Michael) was born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and graduated from Loretto High School and Lake Superior State University. His career started in the Soo in community and economic development in 1970. He was the former president of the Chippewa County EDC in the late '70s. He is known in the business as a top economic strategist and as a passionate fund-raiser. His fund-raising career got its start in 1988, and he has raised over $375 million conducting a hundred capital campaigns in the United States and Canada. He and his wife, Judy, live in Denver.

Q: Regex+Javascript calculator? I'm currently practicing with Regex and I'm was thinking about making something like a calculator -> When I type "104+33" it should replace the text with "104 + 33 = 137". I already did a basic setup, so it's now just the regex stuff:
What I tried
function regexStuff(string){
    return string.replace(/([\d+])\+([\d+])/g, '$1 + $2 = '+eval('$1+$2'));
}

ERROR: Uncaught ReferenceError: $1 is not defined
Important
As I already mentioned: I am new to this regex stuff. It would be fantastic if you explain in in one or two sentences. Thanks!

A: When you can avoid using eval, do it : it's slow and dangerous.
Here you can do
return string.replace(/(\d+)\+(\d+)/g, function(a,b,c){ return a+'='+(+b+ +c) });

For example, if string is "104+33", it returns "104+33=137".
Note that I replaced ([\d+]) with (\d+) : your group matched a single digit, not a number.
As a final notice, be warned that you won't be able to go very far into making a calculator with just regexes. Sooner or later you'll have to use a parser to handle complex equations.
