![]() If you're not a video/audio expert many things don't work as you would expect. You add one filter after the other in a pipeline and configure how each will transform the video.Ī source of frustration for me when I started exploring Avidemux was that it is a low level program that assumes you know exactly what you are doing and does exactly what you say, not necessarily what you mean. Video filters: written as modules and sort of Unixish in how they are used. You can remove or add an audio track from an external file.You can save the existing audio track to a separate file.You can't copy paste between different video files, but you can simulate this by appending a video and then copy/cut/pasting it into the desired position.Įncoding (easier to use and configure than ffmpeg).When you paste a video segment it is inserted at the current cursor position.It's equivalent to delete (you need to remember to copy first) Watch out: cut doesn't actually work like you would expect.There are two markers A and B and all operations work on what's in between (including save!).Very basic video editing (delete, copy, paste) It won't win any usability awards but it is a simple, no-frills video editor that gets the job done. ffmpeg: for complimentary transcoding (I used the latest version compiled from source)īest free software video editing: Avidemuxįor video editing I recommend Avidemux: again, I explored lots of programs to do this on Linux but discovered that the state of video editing on Linux to be somewhat dismal currently. ![]() audacity: for audio capture and editing.avidemux: for video editing and encoding/decoding.That was the plan anyhow.Īfter surveying the various free software video editing tools (most sucked) available I selected the following for my video editing toolkit: Then I'd edit out the goofs, accelerate the boring parts and add narration. I'd shoot each section of the video as a separate "take", and stitch together the best cuts into a single video. When I realized this I decided to be practical and break down my production into bite sized chunks. As usual, I was having trouble because I was trying to do too many things at once, without willing to compromise on quality. I was finding it impossible to shoot the whole video in one take without major goofs in a reasonable amount of time while also narrating what I was doing.

With the rapid development of modern telecommunications, computer and Internet technologies, data, voice, video and other business transmissions are constantly growing and showing a convergence trend. The backbone network is composed of multiple transmission methods and multiple protocol combinations. ![]() ![]() The backbone network is generally a wide area network: the range of tens to thousands of kilometers. When describing the network structure, it is necessary to clearly understand the network topology, not the specific transmission method or protocol. "Backbone network" is usually a term often used to describe large-scale network structures. Other ISPs (Internet Service Providers) with access functions would have to go through these backbone networks even if they want to go abroad. These backbone networks are the Internet approved by the state and can be directly connected to foreign countries. The network that connects the cities is called the backbone network. Computers in the entire city are connected, which is the metropolitan area network. Several computers are connected to each other and can see other people's files. Different network providers have their own backbone networks to connect their networks in different regions. Each backbone network has at least one connection point for interworking with other backbone networks. Backbone Network is a high-speed network used to connect multiple areas or regions. ![]() Kipper's Kite by Mick Inkpen (great touch and feel book!)

On the Messenger app on an iPhone, open a conversation with the person you want to block, tap their name at the top of the conversation, scroll down and tap “Block” on the menu that pops up at the bottom of the screen. Then click on Block on Messenger > Block. Blocking: On the desktop app, open the conversation with the person you want to block and click the three dots. On their end, they’ll be able to keep messaging you and their messages to you will show as sent, but not read. . You’ll be able to see their messages in shared groups or rooms, and you can still see their posts and comments, but you will not receive messages or calls from their account. However, you also have the option of blocking the person’s messages, just on Facebook Messenger. In this case, they will know you’ve blocked them because they will be unable to message you at all or even see your Facebook profile. You can block them completely on all of Facebook. Blocking Someone on Facebook Messenger There are a few ways to block or mute people on Facebook Messenger. On Android, go to a chat conversation with the contact, tap the three dots in the upper right corner, tap Details, then Notifications, and select Silent. On iOS, open a chat conversation, tap on the contact profile, and toggle the Hide Alerts setting on. Alternatives to blocking: Instead of blocking, you can also hide alerts from individuals, which works the same as muting them. Read receipts: In Messages and iMessages, go to Settings > Message > Send Read Receipts or simply search for “receipts.” Turn that setting off if you don’t want the sender knowing when you’ve seen their messages. Blocking: In Messages, tap on the contact’s name in Contacts, tap More, then tap “Block contact.” In iMessage, tap on their name in Contacts, then tap on “Block this caller.”. They won’t know that they’ve been blocked. . These messages will not show up on your phone but the sender will see the messages as sent. Apps That Don’t Let Senders Know You’ve Blocked Them Blocking Someone on Android Messages and Apple iMessageWhen you block a contact over Android or iPhone, they will still be able to send you text messages. We’ve broken the apps we’re covering into two broad groups. We’ll describe how to check or change this setting for each app. That’s because if you have it enabled, the person you’ve blocked might quickly notice that you haven’t read any of their messages. Secondly, you might need to turn off read receipts. That will give you evidence of the harassment in case things escalate. From a safety perspective, it may also be better to mute someone rather than blocking them if they’re sending harassing messages. But you’ll still be able to read their messages if you want to, so you can catch up on your sister’s food photos before giving her a phone call, even if you don’t want to see them every day. This will stop you from getting notifications when the other person sends a message, and some apps will put their messages in a separate folder or tab in the app. First, sometimes muting is better than blocking. I think they unblocked me after the testing, but for some apps I can’t be sure. I spent a week blocking and unblocking my Consumer Reports colleagues, and asking them to block me, to better understand how the feature works on seven different platforms. If you block someone, what does it look like to the sender? . Whether you want to block someone in a stealthy way or an obvious one, you’ll need to know what happens on each platform or service. You’d rather not read them, but you want to avoid hurting the sender’s feelings. This ambiguity might be an advantage with a casual acquaintance, like the person you met once at a potluck who keeps sending you news articles you’ve already seen. On other platforms, the sender might never know they’ve been blocked, though they may catch on when you never respond to their messages.

That could be good if a person (or company) is filling your phone or messaging app inbox with spam, like sketchy links for cash rewards or refunds. Some apps prevent people you block from sending you messages altogether, which makes it clear to the sender that you’ve blocked them. But blocking works differently in different apps. If you’ve ever been bombarded with incessant messages on your phone or favorite social media app, or received even just one message from someone you’d rather not hear from, blocking the sender might seem like the obvious decision. . ![]() ![]() Sentence fragment used deliberately for a persuasive purpose or to create a desired effectĭeliberate understatement, not to decieve someone, but to enhance the impressiveness of what they sayĪ type of deductive reasoning where the conclusion is predicated by the premises.

Below are some of the best products on the market for doing just that.ģ tips for using decals and paint on windows to prevent bird strikes 1. You can do your part to make the skies friendly for migrating birds by deterring window collisions and minimizing light pollution at your home. Lights Out Chicago, for example, has saved 10,000 birds annually. Toronto, New York, San Francisco, and other cities have started lights-out programs aimed at persuading building owners to turn off lights from dusk to dawn during migration season. Confused and exhausted, they often collide with buildings, homes, or each other.īut it doesn’t have to be that way. Once in a beam of light, they may be reluctant to fly back out, or become disoriented and pulled off course. The glow draws birds in, and they can become trapped. Our brightly illuminated cities and neighborhoods interfere with this behavior by letting artificial light leak into the atmosphere. ![]() Many birds migrate then, using natural light from the moon, stars, and setting sun as navigational tools. 2. The window is transparent, and birds see through it to appealing objects on the other side.Įven if the impact doesn’t kill a bird immediately, it may be injured or stunned, making it vulnerable to predation later. Daytime bird collisions typically occur for one of two reasons: 1. The window is reflecting the surrounding habitat, and birds can’t tell the difference. ![]() Learn how Google sources and uses business information in search results.

The licence fee is a huge privilege, offering predictable income that other broadcasters or media organisations would die for but it comes with the solemn obligation to be “impartial” across all output. And BBC impartiality matters in a unique sense because, if we have a TV set, we are obliged, on pain of being fined or even imprisoned, to pay the annual BBC licence fee, currently £159. The Corporation claims that over 90 per cent of us use at least one BBC service every week and I believe that because the BBC offers highly professional content across all the main platforms – TV, radio, the internet, podcasts. Why does this matter? With respect to GB News, TalkTV and others, they are midgets compared to the BBC. The difference between us is that he appears to want a debate about GB News and TalkTV, whereas I want one about the broadcasting elephant-in-the-room. It might suit Mr Robinson’s purpose to portray me as against a debate. In fact, I have spent 25 years, when I was at the BBC and since I left it, agitating for exactly that – a proper public debate about impartiality. He said I had accused him of being “deluded” for wanting a debate on Ofcom’s rules on impartiality – which could hardly be further from the truth. Mr Robinson took exception and wrote a letter to this newspaper in which he seemed to misrepresent what I had written. I responded to Mr Robinson’s interview in a comment piece for the Telegraph in which I said that he was “deluded” if he thought the country needs a debate about GB News and TalkTV: much more important, I maintained, was to have a debate about the BBC’s “impartiality” in which I do not believe. He called for a public debate on Ofcom’s understanding of impartiality. He suggested that Ofcom, the media regulator, had surreptitiously changed the rules on impartiality so that outfits like TalkTV and GB News can broadcast stuff that Mr Robinson had always understood was forbidden. To recap: earlier this month, Mr Robinson gave an interview to the trade paper Press Gazette in which he implied that Britain was in danger of losing something precious: to wit “news we can trust”. Interviewers like Mr Robinson frequently deplore this slippery tactic, so it is no credit to him when he stoops to the same thing. You all know the tactic – faced with an awkward question, they choose to answer another one so that the interview becomes a pointless and frustrating exercise in shadow-boxing. I’ll say this for Nick Robinson: he’s clearly picked up some tips from the politicians he regularly grills on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. |
