Thinking about buying a new laptop for video editing? If you're an Apple Mac user, you're probably wondering what is the best Mac for video editing? If that's you, then we have just the guide for you!
We'll cover Mac laptops here, as most videographer will need to edit on the move, so having something as portable as a laptop is key.
Apple, as always, offer a lot of options and they have four different models of laptop: the MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13 inch and MacBook Pro 15-inch.
With this versatile offering, it's quite understandable that sometimes it's difficult to make a decision about the laptop that will fully meet your needs. And in the guide below, we will try to briefly introduce you to the options and find an Mac editing laptop to your liking.
So let's take a look at the laptops that we consider the best mac laptops for video editing.
The 12-inch MacBook is the perfect choice if portability is your primary consideration.
This laptop model is extremely thin and light (only 900g) and is ideal for people who need an ultra-portable computer model. The size of a slightly larger book, in the same range, makes this one look small.
The 12 inch MacBook has a distinctly sharp retina display, and the battery can last for 9 hours and 30 minutes.
This laptop model was first introduced in April 2015 but was upgraded in June 2017 with a new version that still represents the symbol of the lightweight Mac laptop. The new version of this model features a much faster Kaby Lake processor with a newer model much faster.
Also, the newer model has a more functional keypad that provides a better experience for longer typing. However, if data transfer and the ability to expand ar of prime importance, you should keep in mind that this laptop model has only one USB port for charging and transfer.
The 12-inch MacBook can be found in gold, silver, space gray and rose gold and comes in two variants: MacBook, 12in, 1.2GHz, 256GB and MacBook, 12in, 1.3GHz, 512GB. And if you want to upgrade the processor to 1.4GHz, you can choose between 8GB or 16GB of RAM.
MacBook Air is the most affordable laptop with the longest battery life, ideal for students and created for the road!
MacBook Air is a series of laptops that once counted a MacBook Air of 11 inches (which is now no longer produced for various reasons) and the 13-inch MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air has the longest tested battery life (as much as 14 hours) and is also the cheapest MacBook laptop in the price range.
Also, the MacBook Air comes with standard USB ports as well as an SD card slot making it very easy to transfer photos.
This model, unlike the MacBook Pro, has a standard keyboard that makes it much more useful to some users.
As the name itself suggests, this model is quite light (1.35 kg), with a 13-inch screen and comes with two configurations, but only in silver and with 8GB of RAM. MacBook Air, 13in, 1.8GHz, 128GB and MacBook Air, 13in, 1.8GHz, 256GB.
If you are also programming, gaming or doing any kind of video animation, this laptop may not be the ideal solution for you.
However, if you're going to be using this for lightweight editing purposes, as well as the usual admin work required to grow your business, and you need an easy-to-use laptop, this option is ideal and perhaps the cheapest for you.
If you are working between both home and another workspace, or doing a large amount of editing work whilst travelling, you could really benefit from the fast and functional 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro possesses a significantly stronger Core i5 processor and the latest Intel Iris graphics card, and still only weighs a slight 1.35kg.
This model has a high-quality display and powerful speakers, as well as two Thunderbolt 3 inputs for the fastest possible data transfer. You also have the ability to expand with additional graphics cards or specialized hardware, as well as a new version of the butterfly keyboard.
If you decide to purchase for MacBook Pro, it is important to point out that there are more options (with or without a new touch bar) affecting the price.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar provides all the contextually relevant keys and controls that you use in an average application. For example, if you open the Photos app, you will see options for editing photos, shortcuts in Final Cut and Adobe Photoshop, making it ideal for multitasking.
Also, this version of the laptop offers two more Thunderbolt inputs as well as a faster 3.1 GHz processor.
As well as a powerful solution for video editing, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is strong enough in design to handle most modern games with the Intel HD Graphics 640. But if you want the highest level of quality, perhaps the 15-inch MacBook Pro is the ideal solution for you.
If you are a professional who needs a fast computer with a huge memory capacity and 15 inches of screen real estate, the MacBook Pro is the right solution.
If you are editing RAW photos or dealing with video animation that includes 4k videos the AMD Radeon Pro 560 graphics ship contained in the 15-inch MacBook Pro is what you need. It also combines 16GB of RAM with a 256GB SSD drive for the speed you need when using more serious programs.
Also, this model has the highest resolution Apple offers with 2800 × 1800 pixels and includes great trackpad as well as optimized stereo speakers.
It's also worth noting that the battery on this MacBook Pro can last around 11 hours, offering superior performance by laptop standards.
For anyone who needs an enormous amount of storage space, this model is ideal because it has up to 2 terabytes of storage space!
If you work extensively on your laptop, then this version is right for you. You also have the option to tether up an additional screen if you're looking for more screen real estate.
If you 're a video editor, graphic designer or photographer who requires a larger display and a more powerful model than the 13 inch version, then the 15-inch MacBook Pro is a good choice for you.
Any MacBook, starting with Air 2010 is quite suitable for video editing. Another thing is that on a weak machine the work will proceed slowly, and the exporting of a 10-minute video will take several hours.
Therefore, if you are an amateur and you're not working with professional video (especially 4K format), then you can manage rather modest performance indicators.
And if you're a pro, then, of course, you need a machine that offers a lot more power. So, let's analyze what technical indicators are important for effective work with video.
First of all, I should clear up a simple fact: if you're looking to work professionally with video, then a desktop solution will always be superior in power to a laptop option. As we've mentioned, though, the laptop offers portability and the option to easily edit on the road whilst travelling.
Let's talk about the amount of RAM.The process of editing relies largely on the amount of RAM your computer has. But, as already mentioned, the most time consuming process is the exporting of finished video footage.
The second indicator is the speed of the internal drive. In other words, on a slow HDD drive of older models, you will struggle. In the best case, you need at least a standard SSD drive. Even better, a proprietary SSD. Its speed is several times higher than usual, both in recording and reading.
The third important indicator is the possibility of a video card. New models of MacBook Pro have powerful discrete graphics cards, for example, Radeon Pro 555 with 2GB, or Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB of memory. This is enough to work effectively with video and graphics and the speed improvements are very noticeable.
Finally, a rather important aspect is the quality of the screen image. Here, everything is unambiguous – screens with Retina technology give an excellent clear picture of high-resolution 4K. On such a display, you can well consider the intricacies of video, adjust exposure and colors.
Best Mac For Video Editing – What conclusion can be drawn?
So what do you think of those options? And how can we sum all of this information up as a neat conclusion?
If you mount the video for yourself and do not expect any outstanding quality and speed indicators, then the MacBook Air, or the old MacBook Pro models are quite appropriate.
If, however, you decided to seriously engage in professional video production, then you should choose a laptop with 16GB of RAM, a powerful video card, and a Retina screen.
The MacBook Air is laptop that helps with productivity, coping with all the tasks that I require of it. It is suitable for web development, mobile application creation, website design, interfaces, as well, of course, as basic video editing.
We hope that this article on the best Mac for video editing has helped you make the right choice and that you weigh up all your options before making a purchasing decision.
It's important to remember that it's not worth waiting for a miracle from an integrated graphics card. If you are professionally engaged in video editing, especially 3D work and intensize animation, then I would strongly recommended you max out on RAM and get the most powerful laptop you can get with the budget you have.


This report describes the methods and analyses used in the study of the effects of compulsory seat belt wearing law in Victoria (Australia) and presents results on wearing rates, driver attitudes, and the effect of seat belts in accidents. Considerable savings in casualties have accrued from 1971 to the present time. Current wearing rates are around 90%, and probably 14,000 casualties have been saved over four years, 1971-1974.

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
and laid aside His garments; and took a towel, and girded Himself.
Then He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.
Then cometh He to Simon Peter, Lord, You will not wash my feet.
I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If you know these things, happy are ye if you do them.
As we look at the text and the story, why do we not have an ordinance in our church of washing feet? "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet" [John 13:14]. Why do we not? For years, for ten years, I was a country pastor. And in those years, intimately, I was associated with members and pastors of the Primitive Baptist church—sometimes called the Hard Shell, the foot-washing Baptist church. Why do we not observe that foot-washing service as an ordinance in our church? The reason we do not is because we seek to follow the Bible, the Word of God. We seek to be a New Testament church, and the Words of our Lord are interpreted by the apostles. And their writings are here in this Holy Bible. And, in the New Testament Scriptures, there were only two ordinances observed by the congregations of Christ—the ordinance of baptism [Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 6:3-5], and the ordinance of the Lord's Supper [Matthew 26:26-30; 1 Corinthians 11:23-30]. But there is no instance of the ordinance of foot-washing being observed in the New Testament church in these sacred pages. So we do not include foot washing as an ordinance in our congregation.
But I can tell you this; I have never been more moved in my life than by their washing of feet. Those dear people would just cry, the women would wash women's feet, and the men would wash the men's feet. And if we were to choose to have a service like that in our church, I would rejoice and be glad in it. I think it would be wonderful if we were to announce a foot-washing service, and my fellow ministers and my fellow deacons washed the feet of these in our congregation, and our sainted women, who lead in this work, wash their feet. There's something about the service that will move your heart if you ever see it.
Well, what occasioned it here in the life of our precious Lord? [John 13:3-17]. Reading the synoptic Gospels, such as in the twenty-second chapter of Luke, it is very apparent why the incident. When the disciples came into the upper room to observe this feast of the Lord's Supper, they began to quarrel about who would be greatest in the kingdom of God [Luke 22:24]. Isn't that natural and normal and typical of us? We love to be adulated. We love to receive the accolades of our peers. And they fell into an argument over who would be seated at the table. Do you remember, even the mother of James and John, the wife of Zebedee, came to the Lord and asked that her two sons—one be seated on one side in His kingdom and the other seated on the other side [Matthew 20:20-21]. So they were quarreling about who would be greatest in the kingdom of our Savior, and then in their seating arrangements who would be next to the Lord Himself.
That was the background of what our Savior did. He disrobed and He took a towel, and girded Himself [John 13:4]. Now in that day, in any home there would be a large basin full of water; it was a refreshment for the traveler and the visitor. They walked barefooted over the land or else just had sandals, and when they came into a home, a servant there would bathe the feet of the weary traveler—a refreshing and gracious thing to do. Well, in that upper room there was no servant; and the Lord took the place of the servant, and began to bathe their feet [John 13:5].
What do you think of that: God, deity, washing feet? The great Jehovah God in heaven revealed in this Book is always washing feet; washing the feet of the angels, washing the feet of men, washing the feet of His universe, a servant God, a Savior Lord. And if in anywise we are like Him, we are like that—servants, a keeper at the door or a lighter of the lamps. A menial task, never too lowly for one of us to seek to do if we can be of help, if we can be of service, if we can encourage: it's our privilege in His name to do so; humble, a servant heart, a servant's spirit, a servant's response. It is such a tragedy in human nature that, if we're not praised, if we're not exalted, if we're not elected, if we're not furthered, why, we are petulant, and critical, and feel that the world passes us by, and do not appreciate us.
O Lord, how infinitely better it is to assume a humble guise and a humble place, and to be a helper and a servant of these whom we might be able to encourage in the Lord.
I cried aloud, "O Lord, not there!
Any place, Lord, just so I can be close to You and feel Your presence in the task, however humble, I may be assigned to do. Your servant, for Jesus' sake, if I can help washing feet.
What? Did they find fault with God, and did they war against the cruel providence that thus had beat them and put them in prison? No! What does a Christian do no matter what, no matter what? "And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God" [Acts 16:25].
he thought they had been fled. Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, My brother, do thyself no harm: we are all here. Not one has fled. Then that jailer called for a light, sprang in, fell down before Paul and Silas, brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be a Christian, to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his. And when he had brought them out, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing God with all of his house.
Do you notice? Do you notice the first thing above everything else? The first thing—he washed their stripes before he was baptized, before he brought them out, before he invited them into his home and house, before he set food before them, before they broke bread together [Acts 16:33-34]. First of all, he washed their stripes. The reason that is so impressive is the instantaneous change in that cruel, hard, harsh jailer. My brother, there was no law in Rome that demanded Paul and Silas be treated like that. You could search the law books of all the empire and never find that. There was no law to beat those men because they were preaching the gospel. No law to thrust them into that inner dungeon and no law to put their feet fast in the stocks [Acts 16:23-24]. He was cruel beyond law, beyond the measures and demands of the legislature. Now look at him. Look at that same man, who heretofore [was] so harsh and so cruel, washing stripes, washing stripes, washing stripes [Acts 16:33].
Symbolic acts are so very typical of the Christian faith. The whole Christian faith is full of them. Like the ordinance of baptism, it's a symbol. We are buried with the Lord, the Bible says, in the likeness of His death, and we are raised, raised in the likeness of His resurrection out of that watery grave [Romans 6:3-5]. It's a symbolic act. When we have the Lord's Supper next Sunday—Sunday week—when we have the Lord's Supper, that bread is the symbol of His broken body, and that fruit of the vine crushed in red is the symbol of His blood [1 Corinthians 10:16; 11:23-26]. When we have an ordination service, we put our hands on the heads of these that we set aside for the deaconate or for the gospel ministry [Acts 6:6, 13:3]. In fact, you can sum up the whole Christian faith in a symbol. There will be a cross on the top of a high steeple, a symbol. There will be Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. There will be a seven branched lampstand representing the churches of our Lord; just so, so much.
Well, here's another one: washing stripes—a symbol of the Christian faith—washing stripes [John 13:3-5]. I want you to see how poignant that is against the background of the civilization, the culture of the Greco-Roman empire in which this incident took place. Did you know that in the whole civilized world at that time there was not one hospital, not one? In the whole civilized world, there was not one hospital, not one. There was not an orphan's home. There was not an asylum. There was not an institution for the care of the poor. There was not an institution for the care of the aged—not one in the whole empire.
In that culture and in that civilization, there was the exposure of children. The father by law had the right, if he didn't want the child, to expose it. "What do you mean by exposing it, pastor?" "Exposing" meant they could take the child and put it out where the wild dogs or the carnivorous animals could devour it. Or worse still where some inhuman family could pick it up and mutilate it, break its bones and twist its body, and set it out on a street to beg. It was a world where womankind was looked upon as cattle. Socrates is supposed to have said, "I thank the gods that I'm a Greek and not a pagan. Thank the gods I'm a freeman and not a slave. And I thank the gods I'm a man and not a woman." They were chattel property, and had you walked down the streets of any city in the Roman Empire, three men out of every five you met were slaves, bonded slaves.
May I take out of the New Testament the poignant picture of that culture in that day? Where did that Gadarene demoniac live? He cried by day and by night. Where was his home? Where did he live? The Bible says he lived among the tombs. He lived among the dead [Mark 5:1-5]. Do you ever think when you read the story of these lepers—a leper, they could just walk right up to the Lord Jesus, just walk right up to Him. The Lord would be thronged by thousands of people, pressing Him on every side, and yet a leper would just walk right up to Him [Matthew 8:1-3]. Do you ever think, "How could he do that?" Well, the reason is wherever he was and wherever he went, the people fell away from him, fell away from him, fell away from him. And he walked in the midst of an icy circle. The leper was remanded to the tombs. Or take again that unfortunate who was walking from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves who beat him and robbed him and left him for dead! And on one side, there walked the Levite—passed him by. And on the other side, there walked the priest who passed him by [Luke 10:30-32].
The whole world was like that, and yet—all of us know, there's not a school youngster here that doesn't know it—there never has been a civilization so graced by genius and art as the Greco-Roman empire. There have never been geniuses at statuary as they, never! In architecture, in literature, in drama, in poetry, in painting, in every area of the arts, the Greeks excelled and the Romans were fast after. Yet it was in that civilization, and it was in that culture that these who were so unfortunate were forgotten, and forsaken, and left to perish and to die! Then came our Lord Jesus and His people washing stripes, washing stripes, healing the hurt of humanity [Acts 16:33]. And wherever the gospel has been preached, there will you find the ministry of the people of God washing stripes, washing stripes, washing stripes.
I have tried to describe for you how I felt in West Africa, where they threw and turned out all of those lepers to perish of exposure and hunger and starvation. And little children have leprosy, little-bitty kids, and teenagers, and fathers and mothers. Their extremities fall off, their noses fall off, their ears fall off, their digitals, their fingers and toes fall off; they become horrible, horrible. And they're cast out. God's missionary, Dr. Goldie—our missionary—gathered them together in what he called "clan settlements." And in a great arc through West Africa, he gathered them together. Here and then miles and miles there, other miles and miles there, and ministered to them. I went with him, preaching the gospel to them, building mud churches, churches made out of solid mud! Preaching the gospel to them, loving them, washing stripes, washing stripes; the gospel of Christ.
In the most forsaken and out of the way place I ever saw in my life in south central Africa, I went to the hospital at Sanyati where our beloved members, Dr. Giles Fort and Wanda his wife, were the two physicians there—retired now, here in our congregation. There I walked up and down those hallways, extensive, and looked at their ministries to those people; washing stripes, washing stripes, washing stripes.
Not in a thousand lifetimes could I forget how I felt one time when I stood in a church, pressed on every side by those half-naked people, illiterate, untaught, waiting for my appointment to preach there, standing there, and beyond the man in the pulpit, and on the backside of the wall, there was a picture of our Lord, and around Him, this caption: "Jesus is the answer to every human need." Jesus is the answer to every human need; washing stripes, healing the hurt of humanity.
It was a new thing, it was God washing stripes [John 13:3-5]. I tell you sweet people, out of all the things—and they are multitudinous—in which our church is engaged, nothing pleases my heart more or makes me more grateful for you than our ministries through our twenty-eight chapels. We have a crisis closet here, and every Lord's day we gather food and clothing, and during the days of the week, and we give it out to those poor people. Washing stripes, healing hurts, Lord, I'm so glad I belong to the family of God! [I] wouldn't trade the life in this dear church for any other in the earth.


ACCESS Global — Ed Talk.
Fear is often the one factor that we forget to consider when embarking on the greatest chapters of our lives.
Two days after the workshop, I decided to listen to a podcast about education from a well-respected scholar. I listened to the discussion and without hesitation fear of failure started to invade every thought. It was devastating and I was overwhelmed. I could not focus on business projects or deadlines. I was stuck and unable to move forward. Listening to this podcast caused me to doubt every positive step I had taken in the past few months. The scholar's thoughts, feelings, ideas and experiences interrupted my entrepreneurial progress. I considered changing my future plans solely based on her comments. Her educational journey seemed rational, secure and rewarding, so perhaps I was making the wrong decision by deciding to pursue entrepreneurship and abandoning the security of a job in education.
Fear has a way of invading spaces unexpectedly and no one is immune. Life is going as planned and then boom! The "what ifs' show up. What if my ideas fail? What if I make mistakes? What if education is truly not for me? What if in the end I am standing alone; a failure?
What I know for sure: Good enough is the enemy of excellent. You are the creator of your destiny and the designer of your life. It is up to you to decide to walk in your greatness and chase your wildest dreams. You can be a duplication of someone else or a genuine image of self. Your authentic self is waiting for you to move forward on this journey so climb over fear and continue to take the next right steps. Only you know your path. It is up to you to decide. Research your options, seek support and guidance from others and take the best course of action. Your future self will thank you.

Het Oost-Pommers, ook wel Achter-Pommers (Duits: Hinterpommersch), is een oostelijke dialectvariant van het Nederduits, die vroeger werd gesproken in Achter-Pommeren ten oosten van de destijds Duitse stad Stettin, sinds 1945 Szczecin.

Deze taal werd door 13de-eeuwse kolonisten uit westelijker streken meegenomen en gangbaar onder de gehele Pommerse bevolking, hoewel het Slavisch van de oorspronkelijke bevolking als een substraat in een reeks archaïsche woorden bewaard bleef, vooral in de meest oostelijke gebieden waar het Slavisch pas in de loop van de 18de en 19de eeuw uitstierf.

Na het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd vrijwel de gehele Duitse bevolking, en daarmee dus ook de sprekers van het Oost-Pommers, uit Achter-Pommeren naar het westen verdreven, waar ze soms dialecten van hun nieuwe omgeving maar meer nog dan ze in het geboortestreek gewend waren geweest juist het Hoogduits als dagelijkse omgangstaal overnamen.  Het Oost-Pommers is bijgevolg nu in Europa vrijwel uitgestorven.
Alleen in Brazilië is het nog in levend gebruik in de 19-de eeuwse kolonies van Pommerse immigranten in de staten Espírito Santo en Rio Grand do Sul.

Onderverdeling
Het Oost-Pommers kende de volgende subdialecten:
 Westhinterpommersch
 Osthinterpommersch
 Bublitzisch
 Pommerellisch, waarin meer dan in de andere dialecten Slavische taalvormen bewaard waren gebleven.

A spot of overnight rain caught us out, as we had left the tent fly off to save time. The kids woke us up as water was dripping on them and more importantly their pillow pets.
A midnight flurry saw us put the fly on, which gave us a disturbed sleep and a late start.
Lots of driving past Hay and long straight roads. We met my parents for lunch at Mildura then carried on to find a campsite.
Tonight we're camped in Murray Sunset national park at Lindsay Island on the Lindsay river. Once again a bush camp with no-one else for miles. This campsite does have a few prickles, but the view of the river is pretty.

1938-6036 (web)
The James Joyce Quarterly (JJQ) is a peer-reviewed academic journal established in 1963 that covers critical and theoretical work focusing on the life, writing, and reception of James Joyce. The journal publishes essays, notes, reviews, letters, a comprehensive checklist of recent Joyce-related publications, and, formerly, the editor's "Raising the Wind".
To supplement the print journal, JJQ also has an online version. The site provides an archive of past issues, a resources page, links to full-text options available on JSTOR and Project MUSE, a calendar of Joyce events, and an on-line checklist.
The James Joyce Quarterly was established in 1963 at the University of Tulsa by Thomas F. Staley, who was the journal's editor-in-chief for its first twenty-five years. From 1989 to 2001 Robert Spoo edited the journal and in 2001 Sean Latham succeeded Spoo.
Notable contributors to the JJQ include Fritz Senn, Hans Walter Gabler, Morris Beja, John McCourt, Vicki Mahaffey, Margot Norris, and Michael Groden.

Stratasys, DSM Invest $12M in Inkbit
MEDFORD, MA, Nov 5, 2019 – Inkbit, the company that built the first 3D printer driven by vision-based feedback control and artificial intelligence, announced today the closing of a $12M equity financing round led by Stratasys and DSM Venturing, the venture capital arm of Royal DSM, with additional participation from Ocado, 3M and Saint-Gobain. This new capital raise follows on the company's first $2.8M round led by IMA, a leader in pharmaceutical processing equipment, closed in December of 2017. Inkbit is also funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the National Science Foundation and MassVentures.
Proceeds will be used to industrialize Inkbit's additive manufacturing system to fit the requirements of multi-material and volume manufacturing, expand the set of materials for medical, life sciences and robotics applications and install the first units for customers.
"We are excited to partner with such an extraordinary team of industry-leading players and impressed by their entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to innovation," said Davide Marini, Inkbit cofounder and CEO. "The composition of this syndicate was chosen to maximize the speed of development and commercialization of our platform, with each investor bringing to us their unique expertise in equipment manufacturing, high-performance materials and applications in robotics, medical devices and life sciences tools. Our value proposition to customers is simple: we are adding a layer of machine vision and machine learning to material jetting, increasing its accuracy, reliability and enabling its use with production-grade materials."
"As pioneers of jetting-based additive manufacturing solutions, we are excited to help Inkbit bring their technology to the factory floor. Vision-based feedback control and artificial intelligence will take additive manufacturing to a whole new level and will help to enable its widespread use for production," said Ronen Lebi, vice president of corporate development at Stratasys.
"Materials always play a major role in industrializing breakthrough technologies and in additive manufacturing they become absolutely critical. We are delighted to have Inkbit in our investment portfolio and look forward to helping them develop the best materials for customers world-wide," said Pieter Wolters, managing director of DSM Venturing.
2D material jetting is currently used across a range of industrial processes, such as ceramic and textile manufacturing. While its 3D counterpart is well proven in prototyping applications, limited material choice has restricted its use in production. The contactless material jetting process developed by Inkbit eliminates the need for planarization and enables printing of multi-material parts with production-grade materials.
Inkbit has begun working with customers, such as Johnson & Johnson, through an early access program to develop an initial set of applications. The company plans to release the first systems in 2021 to select customers. Inkbit machines will provide customers with volume production capabilities, higher accuracy and automated quality assurance for every printed part.
Joining Inkbit's Board of Directors will be Guy Menchik, VP of R&D at Stratasys, Luda Kopeikina, Director of DSM Venturing, Paul Clarke, Ocado's CTO and Magnus René, CEO at Ovzon and formerly CEO at Arcam.
About Inkbit
Inkbit strives to eliminate the existing chasm between prototyping and manufacturing to enable rapid, on-demand manufacturing of multi-material, end-use products. Using computer science to improve manufacturing, Inkbit developed the first 3D printer powered by machine vision and artificial intelligence to meet the speed, precision and reliability requirements of volume production. Based in Medford, MA, Inkbit is a 2017 spinout of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT. Inkbit's technology is based on research led by Prof. Wojciech Matusik and intellectual property licensed from MIT. Early supporters include the MIT Deshpande Center, the MIT Industrial Liaison Program (STEX25) and The MIT Engine Network.

SwiftVets revenge
By BEN SMITH
The Navy Times (no link) reported last week that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus stripped the Silver Star from a Vietnam swift boat veteran, Capt. Wade Sanders:
"Had the subsequently determined facts and evidence surrounding both the incident for which the award was made and the processing of the award itself been known to the Secretary of the Navy in 1992, those facts would have prevented the award of the Silver Star," [Mabus spokeswoman Pamela] Kunze said.
Sanders is now in jail on child pornography charges. But he's best known as the man who introduced John Kerry at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, and, ironically, vouched for the authenticity of Kerry's service.

Telecommunications: Helping a Dark Fiber Provider Bring High-Speed Broadband to Rural Maine
Many of Maine's rural areas do not have adequate access to high-speed broadband services. In 2008-09, a group of Internet providers and CLECs joined with state officials to map out a plan to install 1110 miles of high capacity dark fiber in three rings across rural Maine – known as "Three Ring Binder." The project required a substantial grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and a private match. Verrill joined the team in 2009 and advised the lead applicant regarding government and public outreach as well as communications with other businesses and telecommunications providers in Maine.
In late 2009, US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke flew to Maine to announce a $25 million ARRA grant from the National Telecommunications Information Agency, the first such award in the country. A major success for Maine.
In 2010, we helped pass necessary legislation to create a new telecommunications entity in Maine, a "Dark Fiber Provider," which was necessary to allow the new venture to attach their fiber to utility poles in the public right of way. The legislation was bitterly opposed by competitors and their unions, but was ultimately passed after months of negotiations with stakeholders, the Governor's office, the US Department of Commerce, and a range of state agencies. Once passed, we assisted the new Dark Fiber Provider obtain a certificate to do business from the Maine PUC and work with pole owners in Maine to obtain reasonable access to their facilities.
In 2011, a US Chamber of Commerce study listed Maine as the top infrastructure state in the nation, in large part because of the establishment of the Three Ring Binder. And businesses in rural parts of Maine are increasingly seeing the benefits of middle-mile fiber.
Verrill's Telecommunications Group, and its Government and Public Relations team, are proud to have had a part in helping rural Mainers get high-speed access to the Internet, and to help Maine grow.

PayPal is definitely one of the most popular methods for making online payments all around the world, regardless of your payment's intentions as you can pay almost anything with it.
When you are making a purchase of items, games or you simply making a deposit for the mobile PayPal casinos, you can be assured that your transactions are performed safely. This also means that your credit card information, as well as personal information, will stay discrete and no one will have access to it. This way you will stay anonymous while making purchases on the Internet and deposits to your favorite mobile casino that accept PayPal. We have prepared a quick list of the places where you can make place money or withdrawal through the payment service but let's explain few things regarding this payment service and find out what mobile casinos that accept PayPal in the US are the best.
What Does PayPal Stand For?
It stands for the American company that used to create security software for hand-held devices in the beginning before it switched in 2002 to e-payments and collaboration with eBay. In 2002. It became the world's first e-wallet officially after joining the eBay and it holds the reputation for the best web wallet since. It stayed as one of the most favorite methods for making online payments. A mobile casino and Paypal work great when paired, ensuring you a reliable and safe money transfer.
Not every mobile casino real money transfer through PayPal is available but some of them that holds a reputation for being a good mobile casino give you an opportunity to use this service. As many people use this service as it is fast and reliable, PayPal made a good thing when it comes to credit cards. Namely, you don't have to use any card directly – you just need to remember your log in details and you can make a mobile payment or withdrawal anywhere in the world; you just need to log in to your account and make a mobile casino deposit through PayPal.
What Do You Need To Have In Mind When Using PayPal?
Deposit & Withdrawal – the majority of mobile casinos will recommend you to load and withdraw money via this service. However, be sure that you have read all terms and conditions as some casinos only allow deposits through this e-wallet, but not withdrawal also.
Very easy to use: it stands as the simplest system for making online payments; just login in, head to the transferring window, enter the amount, provide the email where you send the payment and your money will be transferred instantly.
License requirement: it requires a license from a casino that you are attempting to connect with. This is great for players as this keeps players safe from scams.
The USA has a very strict set of laws regarding the online gambling and the Federal law gives to some states licenses to operate and regulate the gambling on the Internet. For example, players from Nevada or New Jersey will enjoy the features of the mobile casino with PayPal while players from the majority of other states will not be able to use it in any way that is related to online gambling.
Where You Can Find A Reliable Mobile Casino Accepting Paypal?
All of these do accept the mobile deposits and withdrawals from this service, so as long as you have an account in the country that is supported by it, you are ready to place your bets!

Q: Validating User defined variables I have several user defined variables set via properties i would like to validate.
I can use a jsr223 sampler to validate these but i dont want to duplicate all the names which are already set in the user defined variables.
Is there some programatic way to get hold of the declared user defined variables, possibly via the sampler or context variables?

A: There is vars shorthand for JMeterVariables class instance which holds all the JMeter Variables (including the ones you set via User Defined Variables class).
Check out Top 8 JMeter Java Classes You Should Be Using with Groovy article for more information on vars and other JMeter API shorthands available for the JSR223 Test Elements.

However this way you will get all the JMeter Variables including pre-defined ones
If you want to validate only the variables you have defined in the User Defined Variables configuration element you can play a little trick with the Reflection:
import org.apache.jmeter.config.Arguments
import org.apache.jorphan.collections.SearchByClass

def engine = engine = ctx.getEngine()
def test = engine.getClass().getDeclaredField('test')

test.setAccessible(true)

def testPlanTree = test.get(engine)

SearchByClass<Arguments> udvSearch = new SearchByClass<>(Arguments.class)
testPlanTree.traverse(udvSearch)
Collection<Arguments> udv = udvSearch.getSearchResults()

udv.each { arguments ->
    0.upto(arguments.size() - 1, { rowNum ->
        def arg = arguments.getArgument(rowNum)
        log.info('Variable name = ' + arg.getName() + ', variable value = ' + arg.getValue())
    })
}

Judicial Information
Judge McBride is one of six judges on the bench of the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit which includes Chattahoochee, Harris, Marion, Muscogee, Talbot and Taylor counties in west central Georgia.
Each county in Georgia belongs to a judicial circuit in which Superior Courts courts are organized and administered. At present, Georgia has forty-nine circuits.
Since 1777, Georgia's Superior Courts have served our citizens. The Superior Court system was organized shortly after outbreak of the American Revolution and added circuits, including the Chattahoochee Circuit in which Judge McBride serves, as Georgia expanded westward following the first and second Treaties of Indian Springs. Our Superior Courts have functioned continuously and served Georgia's citizens through the American Civil War, Reconstruction, both World Wars and the Great Depression.
Georgia's Superior Courts are among the oldest continuously operating courts in the United States, predating both the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court.
By design, the Superior Court is at the center of Georgia's legal system. Each of Georgia's 159 counties has a Superior Court, Probate Court and Magistrate Court. Individual counties may have other courts such as State Court, Municipal Court or Recorder's Court.
Under the Georgia Constitution, the Superior Court of each county has exclusive power to grant divorces, exercise equitable power, try felonies, impose the death penalty and handle cases involving title to land. In counties which have no state court, the Superior Court will also try misdemeanor cases.
The Superior Courts also try many of the larger tort and contract cases as well as commercial litigation.
In addition, the Superior Court of each county serves as a court of appeal for certain decisions of Probate and Magistrate Courts and can review zoning decisions and certain decisions pertaining to property tax assessments, condemnations and foreclosures. In addition, Superior Court judges handle a variety of special appointments, such as appointment of Juvenile Court judges.
Our local Superior Courts are busy places. In recent years, the Chattahoochee Circuit has handled between eleven thousand and thirteen thousand cases each year. The majority of these cases have been and continue to be civil and domestic relations matters.
Judges have a duty to educate the public on our legal system. In carrying out this duty, Judge McBride is always happy to speak to school, church, church and community groups. Upon taking office in January, 2009, Judge McBride organized an active intern program for area high school students who are interested in a legal career. He has also organized and hosted mock trials for area elementary and high school students.
For further information or to arrange for Judge McBride to speak to your group, call 706/225-4275 or communicate by email at gmcbride@columbusga,org.

A Method and a Device for Reproducing Solid-Body Vibrations for the Prediction of Fracture Processes in Solid Bodies, Particularly in the Earth's Crust
Patent (priority date: 30/07/2001)
Registration number in Europe: EU 01118259.9; Japan: JP 220273/00; and the USA: US 10207186
Technical basics
The subject matter of this patent is the combination of loudspeakers and a soundfloor as an audification system for monitoring audified solid-body vibrations, particularly for seismic signals.
Artistic concept
The intellectual property rights of patents are related to those of art; they form the technical equivalent to artistic authorship rights. But what happens to an artistic idea when it is packaged into the format of the patent genre? What then remains as worthy of protection? What repercussions derive from the reformulation of the 'inventor's' original description, both in terms of the exact wording and the blueprints, in order to conform to the patent registration forms? Among the aspects I found interesting while working with the patent lawyer were the amendments made to the illustrations. Assuming that drawings can always be regarded as the signifier and as the signified, the draftsmen in the patent office have dealt differently with sections of the submitted blueprints. For example, the computer is translated as a symbol, the chair, by contrast, in an unschematised and recognisable form. Equally, the audio amplifier was easily transformed, whereas the different hatchings indicating a floor were faithfully retraced.
Description in: Florian Dombois and Philip Ursprung: "Kunst und Forschung. Ein Kriterienkatalog und eine Replik dazu", in Kunst-Bulletin 4 (2006), pp. 31.


One of the scariest things about putting your art (in whatever form it takes) into the world is the inevitable critics who feel the need to express their distaste for what you are doing. Perhaps the worst part is knowing the bigger something gets, the more criticism it will likely incur.
I believe this fear keeps too many people from sharing their creativity, and even from creating it in some cases. Actually, I know it does because at times, it has kept me from doing so.
What makes it worse is if you are a perfectionist. I was talking to a friend recently, and encouraged him to start a blog or YouTube channel. Since he has experience with editing video I thought the latter was the logical choice, but he argued it would be harder because he is a perfectionist in that area.
In any case, being a perfectionist is great if you are a surgeon, astronaut, or some other profession that leaves little to no margin for error. Some may argue that writing is one of those professions, but in reality, most writers write too quickly to edit themselves. In fact, it is encouraged by writers to avoid proofreading and just write. Once finished, they can go back and reread for context and logical errors, but grammar and spelling mistakes are often fixed by editors because the writer has become too familiar with their own work.
The great thing about blogging is it gives us the ability to publish quickly, without the need for a length review and editing process. Some still critique bloggers who leave those mistakes in their writing, but they are missing the point. What I have learned from successful bloggers is publishing content is their chief concern. They would rather create something new than rehash old material.
That's not to say there isn't a place for proofreading and correction. After I finish a first draft, I go back and read through it for obvious errors in context as well as spelling, grammar, and punctuation. But I am mostly concerned with comprehension, at least much more than achieving perfection in technical execution.
Therefore, I choose to publish my thoughts and ideas as imperfect as they are, in an imperfect way, to be read by imperfect people. And I choose to accept whatever criticism may come with that, because I also believe our flaws reveal our true character.
How do you feel when you receive negative feedback?


Could anyone direct me with creation of a WFS in JAVA?
I want a geodata search from ArcGIS to Oracle. To that end, I have created a Web Feature Service..
via the browser I can send a request to my WFS GetFeature and it returns my coordinates and text in XML. So far so good.
The WFS is declared in ArcCatologue and it recognises the Feature Types. However I cannot proceed further. I suspect my DescribeFeatureType return has issues.
Could anyone direct me to perhaps a tutorial, that would send across a request and return data?
