Super Nick, thanks.
I noticed that the ProDad Mercalli is missing in v15, it came with the update to vp14, and I see its still there.
Does it need to be reinstalled again or what, for v15? thanks.
One other thing😅, any idea how to get back the missing frame forward/back etc buttons that were under the preview window?
Thats great news re: GH5, surprised they didn't mention this in their "notes".

Not sure about Mercalli. I'm not seeing it in VP15 either. It's no longer a bundled plugin with any version of VP15. Probably best to start a new thread about that in the Vegas Pro Video forum.
Right click on the preview window > Show Transport Bar
Then click the "hamburger" and choose "Edit Visible Button Set" to choose what's shown there.

Wow. Amazing update, props to the Magix team. I can't wait to try it out
Thanks for that Nick.
Just checked, Mercalli is DOA in v15, after re-installing it, the serial no. that came with it in ver. 14 is now regarded as invalid😩
Ill add this to the "General discussion".
So dont throw out v14 just yet.

The default Pan type has been changed to Constant Power which is the most logical and expected type
Is there any way for the user to beable to set the default back to 'Add Channels'? This is the kind of change in expected behaviour that can cause a lot of confusion when you are in the middle of a project. We have had 15 years of it working a certain way by default, and then the change is made and it is buried in the new release details.

So it looks like another licence that has been quietly dropped. This is the side effect of buying in essential functionality on licence deals rather than integrating it directly into the application.

These sound like some real enhancements. As an AMD video card user, I cannot help noticing their absence on hardware-assisted rendering, but I am encouraged that NVidia is supported, and look forward to learning from the community whether a new NVidia GPU for my system would be a significant benefit.
I've got this kind of mysterious 'ringing' sound in my ears. It almost sounds like its saying "When will software companies learn?" I don't know if anybody else can hear it.
Mathias, can we get definitive answers on following questions, please?
1, Is the Dolby Pro AC3 codec restored to Vegas 15?
2, Are those that were induced to upgrade to Vegas 14 at least after the Vegas 15 release date announcement going be entitled to a free upgrade to Vegas 15?
3, Is Mercalli still part of any of the Vegas 15 suites?
Steve-H. wrote on 8/28/2017, 10:32 AM
So now everyone will have to keep all previous versions of Vegas installed, and when a feature is needed will have to close the current version, open project in an older to use a feature (in this case Mercalli) - perhaps breaking things that were only supported in the newer version.
This paradigm in the long run could turn out to be a support nightmare for Magix.
william-s wrote on 8/28/2017, 11:04 AM
VASST plugins seem to have disappeared in Vegas Pro 15. They are still installed but not recognized. Anyone have a work around for this? Specifically Ultimate S Pro. We use it every day.
MathiasH wrote on 8/28/2017, 11:24 AM
I will be straight forward with you, Robert. Unfortunately, I have to say "no" to all of your questions.
Regarding Mercalli: if you got it with VEGAS Pro 14, it will work with VEGAS Pro 15. Go to the plug-in itself and follow the update path that ProDAD provides.
If you bought VEGAS Pro 14 in the last couple of weeks, I think your go-to should always be our customer service. I can't promise you anything but there you may be able to get a special offer. Anyhow, I definitely will address your wish (free upgrade within a short period of time), internally.
Mathias, thank you for the swift and direct answer. I did not take the Vegas 14 upgrade option as there was not enough in it to justify the outlay for me. I was very unhappy that I was getting constant emails encouraging me to take the upgrade to 14 after 15 had been announced, and it seems that there is a few people on these forums who took the upgrade in the final weeks. Once they announced the release date of Vegas 15 they should only have been offering earlybird offers with Vegas 14 offered as a stop gap. I can appreciate that the dropping of licences may have made that financially unworkable, but at the very least the active marketing of Vegas 14 upgrades should have ended.
The Dolby Pro AC3 codec is a major problem for me and I suspect others. It means that I can not move forward with Vegas and I need to be able to use the Dolby Pro AC3 codec. There are key flags that you can only set in the Pro AC3 codec. I have one legacy project that I absolutely have to revisit in Vegas. There are certain features in Vegas 14/15 that I require, so I will probably end up editing the video aspect in Vegas 15, and then I will have to export aspects of the project as an EDL, or as 5.1 wave file (undesirable and unreliable) to try and retain edits for time to be applied to a pre-existing 5.1 master in an earlier version of Vegas. The LUTS and ACE 1.0 etc. will be very useful for that project, but after that I just can not justify continuing to work in Vegas as it is an ongoing liability in my workflow. Magix have to realise that the product they have is the most easy and intuitive to use out there if you can get the footage into it, but they are ask us users to put up with too much turbulence, workarounds and general instability, and a lot of us will eventually elect for less friendly but more reliable and functional tools.
Losing Mercalli is not the end of the world (although it is the only reason I would have elected for the premium suite), I can always buy a separate licence for that, but I suspect there is no easy way to get the Dolby Pro AC3 codec to work with Vegas 15 as I believe it was a bespoke codec for Vegas.

I can't find one, even in the internal preferences. [Edit: The answer is below]
...This is the kind of change in expected behaviour that can cause a lot of confusion when you are in the middle of a project...
The pan type is retained in existing projects when they are opened in VP15.
...Regarding Mercalli: if you got it with VEGAS Pro 14, it will work with VEGAS Pro 15. Go to the plug-in itself and follow the update path that ProDAD provides...
Clicking "About" > "Check Update" from Mercalli 4.0 in either VP14 or VP15 reports "Latest version is already installed". Apparently there is a version 4.0.477.1 out there somewhere that works in both VP14 and 15 but I can't find a link for it.

But if you are working in Vegas 14, and are on a project adding audio tracks, then you switch to Vegas 15 and keep on adding new audio tracks, the panning behaviour on the Vegas 15 added tracks is going to default to different behaviour to Vegas 14, I am assuming. And if you were not aware of the change it would be easy to go into a new project and get very confused as to what was happening with your levels and pans.
gary-rebholz wrote on 8/28/2017, 12:34 PM
Right-click the Pan slider and choose the Pan model you want as your default
Right-click the track header and choose Set default track properties
From the list, select Pan type (and any other property you want)
From there on, any audio track you add will have your desired pan type as the default.
Thank you. Does that apply just to the current project? It is not a terrible hardship for me to have a template project if it does.
william-s wrote on 8/28/2017, 12:43 PM
Gary: Vegas Production Assistant Pro 3 is not working properly in Vegas Pro 15. 1) Can not open a project from a Project Template. 2) Does not show up in extensions or scripting in Vegas Pro 15. I emailed support but thought you may have a quick answer.

Can this please be expanded to two activations?

Following the time when Farhan Akhtar guided the greatly buzzed continuation of his 2006 hit Don, he has continually been assaulted with questions about the establishment's third portion. A couple of days back, Farhan had said that despite the fact that he is happy to see that audience wants to see it, he doesn't have a script for the undertaking yet.
The producers have now hit upon a thought for Don 3, and they're extremely amped up for it. Ritesh Sidhwani said – Yes, we have a thought and we are currently going to place it into the scripting stage. We need to make Don 3; there's a 100% affirmation on that. Thus we are unquestionably contemplating it, also it will happen.
At the point when approached around a conceivable due date for the film, Ritesh said that – We will do it soon. Prior, we were simply considering it. In any case, now that we have a thought, Farhan is going to begin composing it.
Maker Ritesh Sidhwani is presently all prepared for his 3 major discharges this year, with Baar Baar Dekho, Rock On 2 and Raees set to hit the celluloid. Ritesh has now uncovered that the producers have hit upon and thought and Farhan will soon be taking a shot at it. The prior parts highlighted Shahrukh Khan and we would like to see him in the third portion soon.
Audience's craze has gone on cloud nine after the confirmation of Don 3 and that their superstar Shahrukh Khan will be starring in it again as the lead. For now, only the announcement of the third installment is in highlights.

Die 2. Damenbundesliga 2012 war die fünfte Saison der zweithöchsten Spielklasse im American-Football in Deutschland für Frauen seit ihrer Neugründung.

Im Finale gewannen die Stuttgart Scorpions Sisters gegen die Wolfenbüttel Black Widows mit 36:0.

Modus
Die Spiele werden mit 9 gegen 9 Spielerinnen ausgetragen (mindestens 5 an der LOS) und haben eine Dauer von 4 × 8 Minuten. Am Spieltag müssen die Teams mindestens jeweils 13 spielfähige Spielerinnen antreten lassen.

In der Saison 2012 treten insgesamt fünf Teams in zwei getrennten Gruppen an (zwei in Gruppe A, drei in Gruppe B). Jede dieser Gruppen trägt ein doppeltes Rundenturnier aus, wobei jedes Team einmal das Heimrecht genießt. Nach jeder Partie erhält die siegreiche Mannschaft zwei und die besiegte null Punkte. Bei einem Unentschieden erhält jede Mannschaft einen Punkt. Die Punkte des Gegners werden als Minuspunkte gerechnet. Nach Beendigung des Rundenturniers wird eine Rangliste ermittelt, bei der zunächst die Anzahl der erzielten Punkte entscheidend ist. Bei Punktgleichheit entscheidet der direkte Vergleich.

Nach den Rundenturnieren kämpfen die jeweils zwei bestplatzierten Mannschaften in zwei Play-off-Runden um das Aufstiegsrecht in die 1. Damenbundesliga (DBL).

In den Play-offs um den Aufstieg wird über Kreuz gespielt. Das heißt, der Gruppenerste spielt gegen den Zweiten der jeweils anderen Gruppe in einem Halbfinale. Entsprechend spielt der Gruppenzweite gegen den Ersten der jeweils anderen Gruppe. Hierbei genießen die Gruppenersten jeweils Heimrecht. Die siegreichen Teams treten im Finale gegeneinander an.

Teams
In der Gruppe A haben die folgenden Teams am Ligabetrieb teilgenommen:

 Braunschweig Lady Lions (zurück aus Pausenjahr)

 Wolfenbüttel Black Widows

In der Gruppe B haben die folgenden Teams am Ligabetrieb teilgenommen:

 Heidelberg Nightmare (erstmalige Ligateilnahme)
 Holzgerlingen Twister Ladies (erstmalige Ligateilnahme)

 Stuttgart Scorpions Sisters

Saisonverlauf
Die Saison 2012 begann am 22. April 2012 mit einem Eröffnungsspiel der Holzgerlingen Twister Ladies gegen die Stuttgart Scorpions Sisters. In diesem Jahr nahmen nur fünf Mannschaften an der DBL2 teil, weil die 1. Liga zuvor mit zwei weiteren Teams aus der 2. aufgestockt wurde. Außerdem mussten vor der Saison die Spandau Bulldogs Ladies, Hamburg Blue Devilyns und Dresden Diamonds den Spielbetrieb einstellen. Neu dabei waren zum ersten Mal die Holzgerlingen Twister Ladies und Heidelberg Nightmare, außerdem kehren die Braunschweig Lady Lions aus einem Pausenjahr zurück.

In der A-Gruppe werden die Wolfenbüttel Black Widows ungeschlagen zum vierten Mal in Folge Gruppensieger. Da die Heidelberg Nightmare die Saison nicht beendenten konnte, zog Wolfenbüttel direkt in das Finale. Gruppenzweite wurden die Braunschweig Lady Lions.

In Gruppe B gewinnen die Stuttgart Scorpions Sisters ohne einen zugelassenen Punkt und ohne eine Niederlage vor Heidelberg Nightmare. Das Halbfinalspiel gegen Braunschweig gewinnen die Stuttgarterinnen deutlich mit 66:0.

Das Finale fand am 15. September 2012 in Stuttgart statt. Ebenso deutlich wie das Halbfinalspiel gewann Stuttgart mit 36:0 gegen die Wolfenbüttel Black Widows und wurde damit Zweitligameister.

Abschlusstabellen

Erläuterung: , Stand: 15. September 2012 (Saisonende)

 Tie-Break: Heidelberg vor Holzgerlingen aufgrund besserer Touchdown-Bilanz (Heidelberg: -85, Holzgerlingen: -103)

Whistleblower Speaks On 'Appalling' Afghanistan Evacuation Where Animals Were Prioritised Over Humans
by : Poppy Bilderbeck on : 07 Dec 2021 10:50
PA Images/@BritishSoldier/Twitter
A former desk officer at the Foreign Office has accused the government of having an utterly 'chaotic system' amid the Afghanistan evacuations, and even prioritising the lives of animals above humans.
On August 15, the Taliban took over the capital city of Kabul, having swept through Afghanistan at an alarming rate.
The Hamid Karzai International Airport subsequently became a focal point for sheer panic, as thousands of Afghans and military personnel tried to flee the city.
Raphael Marshall has since exposed the alleged 'appalling' way that the UK government dealt with fleeing Afghans and how mismanaged the evacuation effort was.
According to Marshall, thousands of emails containing evacuation requests were falsely claimed by the government as having been logged, when many actually went completely unread, The Guardian reports.
MPs also sent many emails, which led to Tom Tugendhat, the chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, complaining about 10 different cases to the private office of Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
Despite Tugendhat being sent a response that informed him that his emails were being 'process[ed]', Marshall alleged that 'none of these cases had so far been processed at all'.
Marshall claimed that fewer than 5% of the 150,000 people who applied for evacuation ever received assistance.
'It is clear that some of those left behind have since been murdered by the Taliban,' he commented.
Marshall even accused the government of actually reading the emails but not making any moves to act on them.
Moreover, Marshall deemed the guide for who should be evacuated 'unhelpful' because Raab prioritised professions, such as judges, but didn't tell those answering the emails about such criteria.
Marshall claimed that evacuation didn't prioritise figures such as British Embassy guards, and that people were 'misallocated' locations that they were meant to evacuate from.
He also noted that summaries of evacuees' requirements were 'inconsistent and likely often misleading', which jeopardised the safety of those evacuating.
The list of people to prioritise was later narrowed, however Marshall insisted there was 'no effective review of these decisions'.
The former desk officer alleged that the country had not been studied by the special cases team – or even visited by some before. He even claimed that the 'leader' of the team referred to people of Afghanistan as 'Afghanis' rather than the 'correct term' which is 'Afghans'.
Moreover, Afghans who were ready to evacuate were misled into thinking they needed a printed version of their email rather than simply a digital copy, because of calls only being made 'in English' and information given to Afghans surrounding their evacuation being translated inaccurately.
Laptops were given to soldiers without passwords, making them inaccessible, which Marshall claimed could have 'directly result[ed] in the deaths of people unnecessarily left behind'.
Marshall also accused the FCDO of having 'undermined organisational effectiveness' by only requiring staff to work normal hours.
A list of 'very high priority cases' for evacuation was 'lost somewhere' and a extortionately long list was sent to the Home Office, which took six hours to clear.
Furthermore, IT systems weren't integrated, leaving civil servants 'appalled by our chaotic system', Marshall noted.
Marshall also claimed that Paul 'Pen' Farthing's animals were prioritised by Boris Johnson over humans, and that they 'transported animals which were not at risk of harm at the direct expense of evacuating British nationals and people at risk of imminent murder, including interpreters who had served with the British Army'.

Simply place the ball together with the laundry in the washing machine. Always follow fabric care label instructions and pre-treat clothes with a stain remover if necessary. Never overload the machine. We recommend a 3/4 load as the laundry ball must be allowed to circulate freely in the water between the clothes to achieve the best results. It's not necessary to remove the laundry ball during cycles and it can be left in the washing machine ready for next use.
The only maintenance required for the laundry ball is to bathe it in sunlight every month or so for a couple of hours to regenerate the ceramics in order to keep them working at full force! Sunlight is the quickest way to remove the moisture content of the ceramics. However, placing the ball in a dry area inside the home will also work (longer dry time required). View this chart for more information.
Important Note: Keep your washer clean!

Soap residues get stuck to the soap dispenser and to the inside of the pipes in the washing machine, causing them to clog up slowly and cause mold. This can cause dark stains or unpleasant smells in laundry. The smell and chemical stain removers of your detergent disguised this. To clean out your washing machine, we recommend a 90-degree wash with an empty drum, putting two cupfuls of white organic vinegar in the soap dispenser. White organic vinegar is good for cleaning and removing soap residue deposits. Organic vinegar is antibacterial and does not foam in your machine. If you do this regularly, your machine remains in top condition.
SmartKlean is compatible with High Efficiency (HE) Front-Load, High Efficiency (HE) Top-Load, Traditional Front and Top-Load washing machines. One Laundry Ball can wash loads up to 18 lbs / 8kg, which is the standard capacity for washing machines. For larger loads up to 36 lbs / 16 kg , two Laundry Balls are recommended.
SmartKlean will clean whites effectively but does not contain any optical brighteners or bleaching agents. Although bleach can be used with the laundry ball, we highly recommend against the use of this hazardous product for a number of environmental, health and safety reasons.
If having brilliant-white laundry is very important to you, there are several alternative and inexpensive methods to bleaching without toxic chemicals.
To maintain whites, many eco-friendly laundry detergents simply use hydrogen peroxide in their formulas to act as a mild whitener on laundry. You can purchase 3% hydrogen peroxide (clear) and pour a cup of it in the soap dispenser during the wash cycle.
Add a cupful of lemon juice into the soap dispenser during the wash cycle. This acts as a mild whitener. By placing these articles under the sun it will strengthen the bleaching effect of the lemon juice and leave your whites ultra-white!

Is This 1949 Device the World's First E-Reader?
By Marc Lallanilla
Did a Spanish school teacher inspire the invention of the e-reader in 1949?
Spain in 1949 was a stagnant European backwater. The economy was moribund, dictator Francisco Franco had political opponents jailed or killed, women were unable to testify in court — and the world's first automated reader, precursor to today's e-readers, was invented by a woman named Angela Ruiz Robles.
The reader, which she named the Mechanical Encyclopedia, according to the Daily News, operated on compressed air. Text and graphics were contained on spools that users would load onto rotating spindles. The spools and other inserts were housed within a hard metal case with a handle.
Robles hoped her Mechanical Encyclopedia would be easier for schoolchildren to carry than several books; she also believed the invention would make reading more accessible for all, the Daily Mail reports. In that sense, it has much in common with today's Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers.
Born in 1895, Robles was a teacher, writer and lecturer for most of her life. A married mother of three, she died in 1975.
Though she tried for years to get a patent on her innovative 1949 device, Robles never succeeded. "The implementation of all the specifications of the invention was impractical," said Maria Jose Rodriguez Fortiz, language professor at the University of Granada, as quoted in the Daily News.
"In her later years, Angela tried to resurrect the project, when everything was technologically viable," she said. "But she did not manage to secure public or private funding."
Nonetheless, a working prototype is now considered an important part of the National Museum of Science and Technology in La Coruna, Spain. "It is easy to see that there are very few women who have dared to enter their ideas for inventions and innovations," said museum director Ramon Nunez, as quoted in the Daily News.

Q: Const Long translation issue? &H99FF with Visual Basic 6.0 I am ready to file this one under 'w' for tWilight zone weird!
I have a user control class, and have this in the definitions
Private Const m_def_FillColor As Long = &H99FF

THEN:
Private Sub UserControl_InitProperties()
    m_FillColor = m_def_FillColor

Now if I investigate in the immediate window:
? m_def_FillColor
-26113

I figure. Ok. That might be why I am getting an error when I attempt to use this as color. I check the hexadecimal value and get:
? hex( m_def_FillColor )
FFFF99FF

Bizarre, right?
So I do a check on the value &h99ff in the immediate window:
? &h99ff
-26113

Hmm.. weird, right?
I try forcing the cast and being explicit with the conversion:
? clng( &h000099ff )
-26113

And just for 'shits and grins' I do a conversion between the two:
? hex( clng( &h000099ff ) )
FFFF99FF

and just for fun, i check out a nonconverted cast:
? hex( &h000099ff )
99FF

Buyt JUST in case. I figure, I am going to see what's goin on with the actual decimal value:
? hex( clng( 39423 ) )
99FF

In any case. I'm shuttin down for the evening, I figure I have a memory issue and just need to reboot, I have tried restarting the project so that's not the issue.
In any case, has anyone ever seen this kind of issue?
I am hoping a reboot and a good night's sleep 'cures' it..
But... am i doing something obvious and/or ignorant and flat out missing something?
My goal is to plug the value &h000099ff into a long value. I'm pretty good with Visual Basic programming, this is something I've done billions of times, so I just wanna make sure I am not missing something obvious here!
Goodnight and thank you in advance for helping with this.. weirdness...
I blame a memory issue. But still not sure.

A: Add a & at the end of the number
'1 form with:
'  1 command button : name=Command1
Option Explicit

Private Const A As Long = &H99FF
Private Const B As Long = &H99FF&

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  Print "A : " & CStr(A)
  Print "B : " & CStr(B)
End Sub

A: Your problem results from lack of understanding of 2's complement integer format used to store integers on modern computers.
Read  Two's_complement especially section on Sign Extension.
VB only has signed integer variables so specifying &H99FF is interpreted as a 16 bit signed 2's complement integer and because the most significant bit is set it represents a negative number, decimal -26113. To convert it to a Long (32 bit) and to get the same signed integer value it must be sign extended to &HFFFF99FF which is the 32 bit 2's complement representation for -26113
Adding the trailing & to the constant tells VB that &H99FF& is a Long (32 bit) value already and thus does not need any sign extend conversion when assigned to a Long variable.

A: Most programming languages only have the concept of signed integers.
Just assign it &h000099ff and it will work. But if you read it it will be treated as signed.
The function you are calling only cares about the bits not how VB6 interprets them.
Why assign a constant to a variable in the first place. Constants and string literals (they end up the same thing) are fast.
Also it seems a funny value for a colour.

Meanwhile, desperate to put his family back together, Jonathan takes drastic measures to bring Clark home. At the mansion, Lionel accuses Helen of killing Lex.
After Jor-El grants Jonathan temporary superpowers, he and Clark engage in a destructive battle atop the LuthorCorp building. Meanwhile, Lex returns home and must determine whether it was Lionel or Helen who arranged his plane crash.
Clark discovers someone is hunting people affected by the kryptonite rocks and the killer's next target is Lex.Clark uses his powers to save Lex, but is caught off guard when the killer learns his weakness and shoots him with a kryptonite bullet.
Clark dreams he is being pursued by a frightened young girl who needs his help. However, after he discovers she is actually a comatose neighbor who should have woken up years ago, he enlists Lana's help to uncover the truth - which puts Lana in grave danger. Meanwhile, Lionel demands that Lex undergo a full psychological evaluation before he hires him.
Perry White a once- promising journalist whose career was destroyed by Lionel Luthor arrives in Smallville in search of alien stories for a tabloid news show. In spite of being constantly inebriated, Perry believes he has witnessed Clark using his extraordinary speed, so he devises a dangerous scheme to expose Clark's superpowers. Meanwhile, Lex learns that Perry has powerful incriminating evidence of Lionel's shady past.
Lana's great uncle, who was convicted of murdering his wife forty years ago, shows her a picture of the man he believes really killed her aunt, and she is shocked to discover the drifter looks just like Clark. Sure that the man is Jor-El, Clark's investigation leads him to a kryptonian medallion that allows him to see bits of the past - and the life that Jor-El started for him long before he arrived on Earth.
Clark is suspicious when Lana suddenly becomes attracted to a fellow student and begins to act rebelliously, which eventually lands her in jail. Clark's suspicions are confirmed when he discovers Lana's new boyfriend has magnetic powers that can move objects and alter human emotions, but when he tries to free Lana from the paranormal hold that is controlling her, she tries to kill him. Meanwhile, Lex discovers Chloe has been delving into Lionel's past and tries to get her to join forces against his dad.
Lex locates Morgan Edge and gets him to admit to dirty dealings with Lionel, but before Lex can take it to the authorities, someone tries to kill him at the mansion. Barely surviving, Lex flees and asks Clark for help. However, when Clark returns to the mansion to investigate he finds nothing amiss, and begins to wonder if it really happened, especially after Lionel announces Lex has had a psychotic break and must be institutionalized.
Lex teams up with three krypto-villains to lure Clark to the hospital to enlist his help in escaping after he hears that Lionel has requested Lex be given electroshock therapy to erase his memory. However, the plan goes awry when the villains double-cross Lex and use kryptonite to steal Clark's powers. Meanwhile, Lana meets a mysterious new stranger in the hospital.
Attempting to stop a robbery, Clark is temporarily blinded when he shoots off a burst of heat vision that is reflected back into his eyes by a piece of kryptonite. He soon realizes that his body has developed super-hearing to compensate for his lack of sight. However, as it was in the beginning with his other gifts, Clark doesn't quite have his new power under control.
Clark and Lana each make an attempt on Chloe's life for unknown reasons after they receive a mysterious e-mail from the Sommerholt Institute. Clark must discover the source of these e-mails after Chloe reveals she has uncovered proof that they are doing mind-control research at the lab and realizes they must be trying to kill her in order to prevent her from writing an expose. Meanwhile, Lana decides to rent the apartment above the café to Adam even though she feels he is hiding something dangerous about his past.
Clark discovers that his schoolmate Jordan can foresee the future, but is horrified when Jordan tells him he "sees" Lana dying in a fire in the next few days. Meanwhile, suspicious of his behavior, Chloe investigates Adam's background and discovers some disturbing news.
After Pete purposely blows a street race, the thugs that run it threaten his life, so he asks Clark to use his powers to stop them. Furious that Pete would put himself in this position, Clark must figure out a way to save Pete and still protect his secret. Meanwhile, Jonathan begins to suffer the consequences of his deal with Jor-El.
Clark is forced to use his powers in front of Alicia ,a new girl at school, but he is surprised to find out she has powers of her own. The two develop a bond through their shared secret, but things turn ugly after Alicia becomes obsessive about sharing Clark with anyone else - especially Lana. Meanwhile, Lana asks Lex to investigate Adam.
While his father is awaiting surgery, Clark befriends a young boy, Garrett, whose brother Vince just died from liver failure. However, everyone is shocked when Vince shows up at the hospital alive and seemingly well - until his liver starts failing again. In a desperate attempt to keep his brother alive, Garrett straps a Kryptonite bomb to himself and demands that Vince be given Jonathan's liver or he will blow up the building.
Clark receives a panicked call from Lana and hears a gunshot before the line goes dead, but when he arrives at the Talon he is stunned to discover she is alive and well. Clark realizes the phone call came from the next day and that Adam is the one who will shoot Lana. Upon taking Clark to the Luthorcorp lab where Adam was being kept, Lex finds all of the staff murdered and suspects his father is behind it.
When Jonathan begins to act strangely, Clark believes Jor-El is sending Jonathan messages through the key and is the cause for his father's withdrawal from the family. Clark goes down to the caves to confront his biological father but Lionel catches him there and begins putting the pieces together - leading him straight to Dr. Swann. As the two billionaires face off, a deal is struck and Lionel's true motives are revealed.
When Chloe accidentally inhales a mysterious krypto-gas, she discovers it acts as a truth serum to anyone who comes in contact with her and decides to take advantage of her new power by going to the Kents to find out Clark's secret. However, her new power comes with fatal consequences and Clark must find an antidote before she discovers the truth about him or worse, dies.
Believing that key information about his father's past was lost when his memory was erased, Lex decides to join an experimental program with Dr. Garner to regain the information so he can turn his father over to the FBI. Knowing that Lex will discover his secret if he regains his memory, Clark tries to stop him but is caught by Lionel and the doctor and exposed to the same radical treatment so that Lionel can solve the mystery of Clark's past.
When a Kiwatche Indian steals a mythic knife from the caves, he is bestowed with superpowers similar to Clark's, causing the young man to believe he is the legendary Naman, "the man who fell from the stars." Clark learns the Kiwatche legend foretold of a knife that could kill Naman and sets out to reclaim it before the young Indian can use it on Lionel.
Clark decides to tell Lana his secret so they can finally be together. Meanwhile, an errant FBI agent kidnaps and tortures Pete to try and force him to reveal Clark's secret. Also, Lex panics after the FBI gives him 24 hours to turn over information on his father or face jail time, but help arrives from an unexpected source.
Things come to a head in Smallville when Kara, a beautiful girl with superpowers, who claims to be from Krypton, comes to entice Clark to fulfill his destiny. Overwhelmed by her appearance, Clark turns to his parents for advice but is shocked when the girl forces Jonathan to finally reveal the deal he made with Jor-El. Also, Clark makes a discovery that ultimately redefines his relationship with Lex, and Clark's relationship with Lana takes a final turn. Meanwhile, Lex turns the tables on Lionel with the FBI.

2 dead, baby among 3 injured in Back of the Yards shooting
5 shot including baby
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Two people were killed and three others - including an infant - were injured in a shooting in the Back of the Yards neighborhood Monday night.
Chicago police said an 11-month-old boy and four adults were shot by someone in a vehicle around 7:10 p.m. near 53rd and S. Aberdeen. One woman was pronounced dead on the scene, and another died at the hospital Monday night, police said.
Relatives identified one of the victims as Patricia Chew, the mother of 11-month-old Princeton. She was two months pregnant, relatives said.
"You have an innocent family coming home from a family outing. Somebody opens fire on two women, a child, and two adults, killing the mother of the 11-month-old and the grandmother of the 11-month-old," said Chicago Police Dep. Chief Eugene Roy.
Two Chicago police officers who responded to the scene made the split-second decision not to wait for paramedics. Instead, they put the 11-month-old child in the back of their squad car and rushed him to Stroger Hospital.
Police said the baby underwent a CAT scan and is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
"The police officer brought the baby in, he was holding the baby," said Allen Florence, who witnessed the scene in the emergency room. "They was holding him real tight. You could tell right away he had been shot the way the traffic was."
The boy's aunt, still covered in his blood, awaited news with other relatives outside Stroger Hospital Monday night. She said the family was sitting outside a neighbor's house when she went inside for a minute and heard seven shots. She then came out to find her nephew, mother and three others hit by gunfire.
No one is in custody.

There are plenty of reasons why speedy delivery of a software product may be important to a business, and as a developer of software I have often found myself to be under pressure to quote and then deliver to over-optimistic time-scales. But if that software has to be maintained and developed further, as is often the case, then at least some thought should be given to the quality of the design.
Software quality has many concerns, with design quality being a tricky one to measure. I'm thinking here of those things that relate to the conceptual integrity of a system – cohesion and coupling amongst them.
Now, it's difficult to address the conceptual integrity quality of a software product that has already been constructed with little regard for it throughout the development life-cycle. An engineer I used to work with tried to overcome the difficulties of explaining this to non-technical staff through the use of analogy. He would explain that addressing these qualities towards the end of the development phase is akin to trying to add eggs to a cake after it had been baked.
As another analogy consider trying to rework a badly written piece of prose (whether a business or technical article, story or novel); the quality of the piece is threaded throughout and within the text as a whole. In the same way, there are many features of software – most prominently in its structures and internal component/object inter-relations – which are threaded throughout the source code.
Returning to the prose analogy, there are features of badly written prose which are more easily addressed than others, such as bad spelling or grammar. But the structure of the prose is more difficult to address; rewriting sometimes being the only way forward since reworking can be more time-consuming than starting afresh and reworking is likely to leave remnants of the original poor structure. The point here is that quality and the intention to incorporate quality must, for the most part, be our purpose at the outset if we are to effectively achieve a quality result.

Ampersand is pleased to present Foreign Languages, David Wien's first solo exhibition in Portland since showing long ago with our old neighbors next door at Together Gallery. His figures and landscapes have always existed somewhere in the realm of folklore and storytelling, skillfully set in a simple manner that deliberately brings to mind the work of an outsider. Though unmistakably cast in his singular style, the new paintings drift further into abstraction, a mix of stacked shapes, tangled lines and faces that are mask-like and clownish. A sunset oceanscape and a pot of flowers are most recognizable for what they are, but even they are built from monochromatic shapes that lack the flourishes and fine details of reality. While citing the work of Léger, Klee and Stuart Davis alongside many contemporary influences, Wien also emphasizes the fact that most of his inspiration comes from deep within his own imagination. And though the landscape and culture of the Lost Coast of Northern California (where he lives) does not directly enter his painting, Wien admits that working there, isolated from trends and scenes, allows him to paint from his own point of reference, in his own language, even while speaking in a global conversation from this remote place.
David Wien lives and works in Petrolia, California. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. His prints, wood carvings and paintings have been widely exhibited, including most recently at 934 Gallery in Columbus, Ohio.

Cruel, unusual punishment OK for victim of Morales
PUBLISHED: February 18, 2006 at 10:09 a.m. | UPDATED: August 17, 2016 at 7:10 a.m.
OUR Founding Fathers would be proud to see the wheels of justice continue to spin in this country the way they had envisioned, albeit a slow spin when it comes to death penalty cases.
Take the current case of convicted killer and rapist Michael Morales of Stockton, who finds himself next in line for execution Tuesday. He certainly is receiving his days, weeks, years and decades in court. No one can argue that.
Like those who preceded him in the death chamber, he deserves the right to exhaust his legal avenues. And knowing those avenues have been spent, he has been claiming the use of lethal injection constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment," which our Founding Fathers wrote in the Constitution should be unlawful in this country.
Is the state's method of execution an excruciating ordeal for the condemned inmate strapped to the gurney? This is the question being asked by Morales's lawyers and pondered by U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel in San Jose. Fogel ruled this week that for the execution to take place, the state must either have an expert present to ensure he's unconscious from a sedative or replace a three-drug death potion with a lethal dose of barbiturate.
According to The Associated Press, Fogel said he was concerned inmates are conscious and undergoing extreme pain once a paralyzing agent and then heart-stopping medication begin coursing through their veins.
Lethal injection employs a sedative to knock the inmate out, a paralytic agent that stops the lungs, and a narcotic that induces cardiac arrest. John Grele, an attorney for Morales, has argued that if the sedative does not work, the paralyzing drug masks what could be an agonizing death for the prisoner.
The words "cruel and unusual" should be well known to the man who raped and killed 17-year-old Terri Winchell on Jan. 8, 1981.
Morales, then 21, of Stockton choked Winchell with a leather belt. He used such force that the belt broke but failed to kill the young woman. Next, he took a hammer and pounded her skull 23 times, fracturing her jaw and cheek bones and shattering the base of her skull.
That still did not kill her, so he raped her and plunged a knife four times into her chest, leaving her to die in a Lodi vineyard.
In that context, for him to now express fear of a painful execution would almost be laughable, except for the fact that Terry Winchell's horrible, painful, cruel and unusual death cannot be forgotten.

Alamo City's ascent
San Antonio surprisingly tops Austin among up-and-coming tech cities
San Antonio is one of the top tech markets, says a new report.
Photo by SeanPavonePhoto/Getty Images
In 2019, Austin topped a list from real estate website Commercial Café of the leading startup cities in the U.S. Fort Worth landed at No. 12, Dallas at No. 15, and Arlington at No. 19. San Antonio failed to earn a spot.
Now, San Antonio — often overshadowed by Austin amid the buzz about tech hubs — is turning the tables. A ranking released January 9 by real estate website Zillow puts Alamo City at No. 6 among the top 10 up-and-coming tech markets in the country. On this list, eighth-place Austin trails San Antonio.
Zillow based its analysis on data surrounding five factors:
City's appeal to newcomers
Economic strength
Pool of tech workers
Livability (such as commute times and internet quality)
San Antonio stands out in all five of those categories, according to Zillow. For instance, San Antonio boasts more skilled workers for each currently available tech job than Austin does. Zillow economist Jeff Tucker says that by this measure and others, tech startups "would have a lot more room to grow" in San Antonio than in Austin.
In addition, Tucker notes that the price of a typical home in Austin is more than 60 percent above the price of a typical home in San Antonio.
"The difference between San Antonio and Austin is emblematic of what we were looking for when we did this analysis," Tucker tells CultureMap. "Rather than trying to describe the cities where we currently see a lot of tech hiring, we are looking for places where it would be easiest for a tech startup to grow."
Boosters of San Antonio's tech scene embrace the Zillow ranking.
"When San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States and home of the second largest cyber hub in the country, it is no surprise to see our community listed as an up-and-coming tech market," Amanda Lee Keammerer, vice president for cybersecurity at the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, tells CultureMap.
"From the booming downtown tech district to top talent graduating from local colleges and universities, San Antonio's ability to develop, attract, and retain tech workers appeals to companies of all sizes and from all sectors," Keammerer adds. "Cybersecurity, information technology, advanced manufacturing, and health and bioscience are our top industries for a reason — we are innovative, collaborative, and community-driven like no other city in the nation."
Coworking space Geekdom is a driving force behind the evolution of San Antonio's downtown tech district. Its CEO, Charles Woodin, tells CultureMap this type of ranking has been years in the making. More work needs to be done on the tech front, he acknowledges, but entities like Geekdom, EPIcenter, Port San Antonio, Codeup, TechBloc, and USAA have established a foundation that's "putting our city in a place to catapult us not just to a rising market in tech, but a leading market."
The downtown tech district is a linchpin in San Antonio's pursuit of status as a leading tech market.
"If you walked around downtown San Antonio even just five years ago, it looked dramatically different," Woodin says. "Now, downtown San Antonio is populated by amazing companies that launched as startups at Geekdom and other great spaces across San Antonio."
In downtown San Antonio, "the restaurant, hospitality, and entertainment industry leaders have done their job by creating attractive places to dine, play, and stay," he adds. "What's even better is there are plans in place to continue to grow our city and its economy at the right pace."
In tech circles, San Antonio is perhaps best known for its cybersecurity prowess. Other than Washington, D.C., San Antonio is home to more cybersecurity professionals than anyplace in the U.S. Cybersecurity ranks among the most in-demand professions in the U.S.
Business promoters in San Antonio aim to position the city as a global epicenter for cybersecurity initiatives. The local presence of cybersecurity operations run by the U.S. Air Force, FBI, National Security Agency, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security — along with dozens of cybersecurity companies and the University of Texas at San Antonio's nationally recognized cybersecurity program — contribute to Alamo City's rise as a cybersecurity complex.
"With its significant military presence, continually thriving private cybersecurity enterprises, and nationally recognized technology and research institutions, San Antonio is increasingly becoming known as 'Cyber City, USA,'" the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation says.
Leading Zillow's list of the top 10 U.S. markets for tech growth prospects is Oklahoma City at No. 1, followed by Kansas City, Missouri (No. 2); Jacksonville, Florida (No. 3); Indianapolis (No. 4); and Cincinnati (No. 5).

I'm going to ask questions to the academics in the University.
Please help me checking the mistakes.
It's been a while since I sent you the last letter. I would like to ask some questions again.
First, when do I need to apply for the BPA if I'm already sure? Or the Monash foundation course will help me do that?
Second, If I was sure to go by next year, my age would be 17 and going to 18 on that year. Do I need to stay at the Monash dorm? or any other accomodation? Or?
I think this would be enough for now.

Fired in 1863 at the siege of Vicksburg by Union soldier Peter Knapp, right, the bullet reappeared in 1921 when Meadows was stricken with a violent coughing spell. The one-time mortal enemies were reunited as friends.
Willis Meadows grasped his throat and began to choke.
Whatever was stuck in there wouldn't come out, and with coughing spasms growing violent, the 78-year old couldn't breathe. Just when he thought it was his time to die, something flew from his mouth, bounced on the wooden kitchen table and tumbled to a stop.
Trapped in Meadows' head for nearly 58 years, here was the Civil War bullet, a one-ounce slug that had taken out the Confederate veteran's right eye when he was just a boy.
"Coughs Up Bullet" was a national newspaper story in 1921. Eleven years later, in a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" cartoon, it was published around the world in 42 countries and 17 different languages.
Ripley missed the most unbelievable part of the story. After 58 years, Meadows would meet the Union soldier who shot him.

TikTok's big UnitedMasters deal is the way forward for creators looking to secure their bag
by admin | Aug 18, 2020 | Management and Production Software
TikTok is right in the jaws of a thorny situation with the U.S. Government regarding its ownership, but it's sending a clear message today that it is not sitting on its heels with big deals. Yesterday, it announced a deal with UnitedMasters to allow artists on TikTok to distribute their songs directly to streaming services and other partners directly.
UnitedMasters is the un-record-label label — in fact a direct distribution company founded by former president of Interscope Records, Steve Stoute. The firm allows musicians (especially budding ones) to pay a competitive distribution rate to get access to Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, Apple Music and other services. It also gets them access to analytics, retargeting, CRM tools and individual deals that UM makes with brands like ESPN and the NBA.
Normally, the path between an artist being able to go viral on TikTok and be included in the next NBA 2k or before an official game on the air would be a long one involving a lot of knives out for pieces of the pie. UnitedMasters shortcuts all of this.
The simple scenario is this:
An aspiring artist or songwriter puts out a song or riff on TikTok (likely one of many).
This one has something and it catches on the algorithm and generates numbers.
The creator opts in to participating in UnitedMasters' program.
They give up a cut of 10% but get direct distribution into the major streaming buckets and potential A-grade partners. (There's also a $5/mo subscription option.)
They can also market things like tickets, merch and more directly to fans using UM's customer tools.
The artist keeps 100% of their royalties.
Which is why a tie up with TikTok makes a hell of a lot of sense. One of the biggest issues with viral social platforms has been the way that they reward creators. Twitter's Vine, of course, squandered their opportunity there. Even YouTube has had major problems providing consistent revenue to many of its top creators, with a long trend towards big hitters monetizing off platform in order to earn consistent, durable money.
TikTok has already announced a creators fund with a significant purse, but it needs to go beyond that. We've seen over and over how young creators on the platform create viral waves of attention for TikTok and millions of re-enactments and remixes. Often, though, those creators are offered little recourse to monetize or benefit from their creations. Dance creators and musical talents, often young Black women, are literally crafting culture in real-time on TikTok and the pathways for them to benefit materially are very rare. Sure, it's great when an originator gets called out by a Times reporter willing to do the work to trace the source, but what about the thousands of others being minted as a real voice on the platform every month?
It's beyond time for the creators of The Culture to benefit from that culture. That's why I find this UnitedMasters deal so interesting. Offering a direct pipeline to audiences without the attendant vulture-ism of the recording industry apparatus is really well aligned with a platform like TikTok, which encourages and enables 'viral sounds' with collaborative performances. Traditional deal structures are not well suited to capturing viral hype, which can rise and fall within weeks without additional fuel.
In terms of overall platforms, TikTok clearly has the highest concentration of incredible and un-tapped musical talent on the market. It's just wild how many creators I see on there that are just flat out as good if not better than what you hear on the radio. Opera, rap, soul, folk, comedy, songwriting, it runs the gamut.
TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer came to the company after a long stint at Disney ending with a very successful Disney+ launch. Almost immediately, he was dropped into a political firestorm between China and the U.S. government. Parent company ByteDance must sell within 90 days, says Trump, or get shut down. Microsoft might buy them. Other tech companies are circling. This deal is a pretty crisp forward-looking signal that TikTok sees a way through this and is not waiting to innovate on one of the trickier components of this era of user generated businesses.
And on top of that, it charts a course for how user generated platforms should look to service creators and keep them in their universe. All UGC plays garner significant value from the creative energies of their users, but few have found a way to make that relationship reciprocal in a way that feels sustainable.
This UnitedMasters deal feels different, and the start of a larger trend that could pay big dividends to platforms and, finally, creators.
