Even in pie charts that only have a handful of slices, if any percentages in the pie are within 5-10 percentage points, it will be hard for readers to understand what they’re supposed to get out of the data.

Back then it was indispensable and it was the only 99.99% reliable way I was able to capture from analog and DV sources in Windows NT, 2000 and then XP. ![]() I haven't done any editing in quite a long time, but about a decade ago I used ScenalyzerLive to capture DV with my Pinnacle DV500 capture card. |PowerDirector12Ultra.2930|PhotoDirector5Ultra.5424|AudioDirector4Ultra.3522|Cyberlink MediaSuite10 OEM| |Camera:Canon Ultura miniDV|WebCam:Logitech C910|ADVC110 Analog/Digital Converter| |HDD:Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB|HDD:WD Red 2TBx2|RAID:SansDigital TR5M+B 2TBx3|BD-R:LG BE14NU40 Ext| This topic may have already been covered, but I just thought I would share my experience on the off chance that someone else may need the DV capture capability in PD12. When my SansDigital TowerRAID TR5M-B, 5-bay storage enclosure and hard drives arrive, I'll finally have the space I need for storing the captured video! I have not tried DV backup, but automatic and manual batch capture are all I need to do right now. It does what I need it to do right now (so far, so good). Just find your Firewire card in device manager> click update driver> choose browse computer for software> pick from a list> select. So, after some Google searching: I was able to solve the problem by "updating" to a different driver. PD12 recognized that a "device" was connected but it was only showing glimpses of video and the device controls were not working properly. There's no Firewire port in my brand new PC so I had to first dig up an old firewire card from my basement and install it which went fine as Windows 7 installed the default IEEE 1394 driver. I have an ancient Canon Ultura miniDV camcorder and a good size collection of old tapes that need to be captured. Just an FYI if there are still any old school miniDV users out there that want to capture DV in PD12. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Hash slinging slasher spongebob![]() ![]() SPONGEBOB: I uh, oh! I already went on those days! SQUIDWARD: No there's something, what is it? SQUIDWARD: Usually I don’t care about Jellyfishing since I think it's dumb and childish, but…. Squidward walks outside to go back home and glances at Spongebob's Jellyfish Calendar on his front door(from inside) but stops and takes notice at seeing several red “X’s” only on the Fridays while no other jellyfishing days have them. SQUIDWARD(lying to save his dignity): Ummm uhh, I mean, I was lent it by a girl to keep and uh review before she gets back from school! Out of town! SQUIDWARD: It's dark and rainy out dummy! Now BE QUIET! I was trying to sip my cocoa while reading Sixty Shades of Fish! SPONGEBOB: Oh…… Squidward… didn’t see you there for minute. The figure grabs the food, throws it away and then reveals himself to be Squidward. Spongebob begins bashing it on the head with a bread stick that for some reason was nearby. Spongebob shakes his legs in fear but manages to open the door to see a dark skinny figure holding a lantern. Gary zooms upstairs and locks himself in the bathroom. Spongebob hears a loud knock at the door. SPONGEBOB: Okay, that's enough horror for one night Gary. ![]() Gary, mortified, crawls into his shell hiding in fear. NARRATOR: Penny Salamander and Tim Bass were never heard from again as soon as the wolf howled. Spongebob screamed as him and Gary are watching a horror flick about werewolves. Squidward looks out his window only because, he thinks the “danger” might come to him until finding out that it was coming from a spongey neighbor's house. Squidward begins reading his book when suddenly hearing screaming. SQUIDWARD: Aah, this is the life Squiddy! While the other bottomfeeders act like idiots, I, with a nice hot cup of cocoa during the Summer instead of the Winter, get to relax and read Sixty Shades of Fish! The story begins at Squidward's house, late on a Friday night, for most on this night, it is either partying, vandalizing, or at least playing but for Squidward, it is being cozy in bed reading a book. Squidward challenges Spongebob's warning to take the risk of entering Jellyfish Fields on a Friday Night. Jellyfish Fridays (Spongebob Squarepants Fanfiction) Released in 1994, the original PlayStation proved to be a phenomenal worldwide success and signalled Sony's rise to power in the video game industry. By the end of its life, two new games were launched posthumously for the console.

Even after the release of its successor, the PlayStation 3, it remained popular well into the seventh generation. In 2004, Sony released a smaller, lighter revision of the console known as the PS2 Slim. A total of over 4,000 game titles were released worldwide, with over 1.5 billion copies sold. The PlayStation 2 received widespread critical acclaim upon release. The PS2 offered backward-compatibility for its predecessor's DualShock controller, as well as its games. It is the best-selling video game console of all time, having sold over 155 million units worldwide.Īnnounced in 1999, Sony began developing the console after the immense success of its predecessor.

An organization can specify which users can access what in the system, and the system can be configured so the access controls recognize only the administrators' role and parameters. For example, some corporate access systems grant the appropriate level of access based on factors such as location, seniority or time of day. ![]() POLP can also restrict access rights for applications, systems and processes to only those who are authorized.ĭepending on the system, some privileges may be based on attributes contingent on the user's role within the organization. This principle is also known as the access control principle or the principle of minimal privilege. Users are granted permission to read, write or execute only the files or resources necessary to do their jobs. The principle of least privilege (POLP) is a concept in computer security that limits users' access rights to only what are strictly required to do their jobs. ![]() Improved Incident Response: The principle of least privilege helps with understanding and monitoring the user access levels which, in turn, expedites the incident response efforts in case of security attacks or breaches.What is the principle of least privilege (POLP)? With the principle of least privilege in place, administrative accounts can limit the execution of certain file types and even enforce password managers to reduce the occurrence of such attacks. Reduced Social Engineering Attacks: Most social engineering attacks like phishing are conducted by luring a user into opening an infected attachment or link. As an added benefit, many common regulatory bodies consider the implementation of least privilege as part of a compliance requirement. System stability is also ensured due to reduced downtimes.Įasy Audits: The systems that run on the principle of least privilege are great candidates for simplified audits.
5/28/2023 0 Comments Color sudoku barnes and nobledocuments and apps like Pandora and Sudoku make the Nook Color a bit more. I'd have to pick up a new subscription on the new Nook, which is costly and annoying. Barnes & Noble officially launched a color eBook reader officially known as. Just because I already have a subscription for Elle doesn't mean I can view the magazine on an e-reader. I have a number of magazine subcriptions to begin with, and I certainly don't want to pay double, which would be required if I subscribed to the same magazine via Nook and print. and various games and apps, including Sudoku, crossword puzzles, chess. Yet, there is still something holding me back from picking up a colorized Nook in general. Posted by Always Write at 5:14 PM Tagged with: Barnes & Noble, Nook Color. But the option of color is certainly enticing - especially when it comes to the option of magazines. Personally, I know that I won't go through that many titles - at least not any time soon. But if that's not enough for you, don't forget about the microSD card slot that should expand storage exponentially for you. That means numerous magazines, newspapers and colorized Nook books. Remember that the new Nook includes 8GB of storage space, equating to 6,000 Nook Books. Pricing for titles is centered around and based at $9.99 per title. If this sounds like the e-book reader for you, know that it is will be available for the general public to pre-order on November 19 for $249, the familiar price for the original Nook before the grayscale version took a serious dip. When viewing the PR rep practice these steps, the function seemed relatively normal and straight-forward. And if you want something to go from portrait to landscape mode (particularly for children's books), that shouldn't be a problem. For actual page turn navigation, a user swipes the screen left to right for basic page turns in novel mode and then up and down in magazine mode. But thanks to a software upgrade for the original version plus some noticeable upgrades to the colorized edition, B&N has obviously been working on the problem. This was known to be major problem with the original B&W Nook, which was known to have dragged-out page turrns compared to say, the Amazon Kindle. One of the best and immediately noticeable upgrades was page turn speed. Other than that, the user decides how to control the colorized Nook via the 7-inch VividView color touch screen. Side buttons included power on/off, volume controls, the headphones jack, and a micro USB power jack. Barnes & Noble made the Nook available for pre-order in the United States for US259 following its launch on Octoand began shipping on November 30, 2009. There aren't many controls and buttons around the sides, leaving most of the decisions up to the Nook owner. The Android-based, 15.8-ounce device certainly felt portable once in my hands. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Susan strasberg![]() What Stanislavski tried to do was to make this material available to the young actor so that he doesn't have to go through 25 or 30 years of grueling experience to find these things for himself." The work that we do is nothing but the sum total of the experiences of many great actors of the past, of the records and statements they have left and of what we have seen in our own experience. "The Stanislavski method is not as new as we commonly think. "Our procedure is an attempt to lead each actor to solve each acting problem in accord with the nature of his own individual material - as revealed to us by our understanding of this modern knowledge - so that it is possible, technically speaking, for that actor to become a completely functioning instrument. In an interview in 1976, he described it in these terms: Strasberg, who studied briefly with Stanislavski and more extensively with earlier disciples of the Russian, is regarded as its master. Konstantin Stanislavski, the founder of the Moscow Art Theater, is credited with creating "the method." Mr. The unifying principle of that life was "the method." It has been hailed as the quintessence of realistic American acting and derided as the "torn-T-shirt-school" of the theater. Strasberg's more recent forays before the klieg lights and the footlights were grace notes near the end of a life spent in the theater. On Sunday night, he appeared at the "Night of 100 Stars" production at Radio City Music Hall. He made his film debut in 1974 as Hyman Roth, an aging syndicate boss in "The Godfather: Part II." He appeared with George Burns and Art Carney in a recent film about a trio of elderly bank robbers, "Going in Style," which appeared on television earlier this week. ![]() Strasberg was also a successful actor and director. Strasberg's 75th birthday, it was estimated that actors and actresses trained by him had won 24 Oscars and received nominations for 108 others.Īpart from his celebrity as a teacher, Mr. His students there included Marlon Brando, Ellen Burstyn, Al Pacino, Eli Wallach, George Peppard, Ben Gazzara, Shelley Winters, Joanne Woodward, Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Arthur Penn, Cliff Robertson, Eva Marie Saint, Julie Harris, Carroll O'Connor, Lee J.

It’d be nice to have an actual sawhorse, a square, and a real level, but this is pretty much all you'll need! We'll get to the different options for materials later. This is pretty much the bare minimum supplies you’re going to need. 2’X4’ A LOT OF SCREWS – 1 ½” IS A GOOD LENGTH.We weren’t sure exactly how much material we needed, so we had to go back a couple times to grab the stuff we were missing. We got to know the guys at the hardware store by our place pretty well. This would end up costing you a bit more, but would likely be worth it if you’ve got the space. A nice size would be 3-4 feet high, 20 feet in length, and 8 feet wide. ![]() Which is small. This allowed us to use one sheet of ¾” plywood for all 4 sides of the ramp, with 4 pieces of 3/8” ply topped with 4 pieces of 1/8” ply for the surface. This also made for a nice fit in our front yard.įind a spot that’s as flat as possible and the rest is up to you. Slightly under two feet (1’10”) high, 16 feet long, 8 feet wide.

The consensus among the build crew is we did it cheaply and ended up with a solid product! I will be the first to admit though that some corners were definitely cut. This spring, my roommates and I set out to build our first mini ramp. We spent some time researching different DIY plans, watching youtube videos, and talking about what we wanted for a ramp. We built it over the course of a week, working on it for a couple hours every couple of days and spent roughly $500. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Decimal to fraction converterVisual Basic code for this conversion is given belowįunction Decimal2Fraction(ByVal decNum As Double, ByVal accuracy As Double, _ ByRef nominator, ByRef denominator, ByRef remainder) ' Input decNum always between zero to 1 ![]() ![]() , thus we stop the iteration and report the conversion of decimal We use difference equation with initial condition We start with making a continued fraction.
