![]() However, trying to get us to believe that losing his daughter to foster care bc of XYZ caused him to kidnap and destroy lives.and get out of jail with a victim that treats him better than the father of her child was not acceptable. I am fine with her captor being released after serving his time. I wasn't surprised by the villain at all nor their motivation. I sort of suspected whodunit very early because you just pick up vibes in these movies. I also love when these movies (bc it's Lifetime) make the men suspicious or not that great, but also because it's Lifetime, the villain is a woman. Grace nor Grant need a friend like Alyssa. I really didn't care for how both of them allowed her to get away with accusing them of crimes because of reasons she made up in her head.and ironically, it was a pretty clear example of what Emma's dad was saying. Very different from Alyssa, who by the end of this really doesn't deserve those people remaining in her life. This is in spite of the character humiliating her in her personal life. In Deadly Seduction (only mentioning this movie bc it's very similar), the protag didn't actually believe someone close to her was capable of the crimes happening. She allows them to be blindsided by being considered suspects or she's breaking into their homes. What makes her even more self-involved is that she uses her friend Grace and her never-mind-he-isn't-her-boyfriend Grant as babysitters for Emma, and yet when this happens, she either sics the police on them or pursues them herself as suspects. Also, in the movie, all we know about him is her POV, so when he does lash out about how she has affected his relationship with his daughter, it actually makes sense given her behavior by that point in the movie. I totally didn't blame his lashing out at her. She allowed the detectives to make him a person of interest w/o 1.letting him know their daughter was missing or letting him know she kind of let them think that he could take her. She was a pretty self-involved character and I don't blame Emma's father for being pissed at her. However, I didn't really care for Alyssa. I remember them from soaps back in the day. ![]() I watched this because I generally like Jen Morris and Jason-Shane's movies. Then when Emma actually is taken (not a spoiler), Alyssa turns her back. Then she flips out when her, sort of boyfriend Grant, takes Emma for ice cream but leaves his phone in the car. I couldn't believe she did that all because Emma was begging and for some reason Alyssa couldn't get up from the table and take her? Had that been the moment little Emma was taken, it would have been extremely difficult to keep watching. When Alyssa, a woman now a mother, who knows what it was like to be kidnapped, lets her young daughter (maybe 7) go to a public bathroom by herself. ![]() Items delivered: Wacom Intuos Non-Touch S for right- & left-handed use / Wacom Intuos Pen + replacement nibs / USB cable / Software download instructions & code / Quick start guide / Installation CD. ![]() With a full feature-set, configurable gui and a strong focus on plain productivity, Krita is at home on every artist's desktop.

Abigail Ruiz, a fourth-grade math and science teacher in Florida, has owned five Happy Planners and usually buys a new one two months before the old one runs out (the planners’ pages start off in July). “With the expansion packs and sticker packs, my planner is my brain on paper and that is exactly what I need.” You can also get coordinating accessories like snap-in pencil pouches, page markers, and colorful stickers for these personalized planners. “While other planners are bound together with spirals, this planner is made to add pages and sections that will keep you organized,” Lathan-Williams says. ![]() She’s using the Change the World version of the planner for the 2021-2022 school year. Happy Planners get an A-plus from four of the teachers we talked to, including Tasha Lathan-Williams, registrar at Xavier Academy, who was introduced to the brand from a planner Facebook group. To find the best planners for teachers, we asked teachers and homeschooling parents about the planners they love. “These can often be set up automatically in Google Calendar, but having a planner with room to write out each day’s classes, meetings, and student commitments makes it much easier to plan the week and catch conflicts ahead of time.” Plus, it helps to have a planner that has space to pencil in after-school appointments (contrary to what some kids think, teachers don’t live at school!). “Teachers often need to deal with rotating schedules that aren’t connected to days of the week,” explains Katharine Hill, a Brooklyn-based educational therapist who teaches remotely. After learning about all the different online apps and tools for the classroom last year (and reminding kids to mute themselves on Zoom), some teachers might be looking forward to using an actual paper planner to stay organized, schedule lessons, and track student progress. ![]() And teachers, too, are gearing up for another year - but lessons might be IRL now instead of through a screen.

![]() ![]() I just wanted to add some reason to all the 'why would you want to do that?' posts. It works well, so I feel no need to use another system.Īnyway, I think the answer has already been provided. ![]() I also have two PS3's that receive media from the server. New server location should allow a doubling of quality to all devices. I'm about to buy a Pi to attach to the kids TV (RaspBMC) so I can relocate the server and other hardware to a more central location (ATM the server is attached to their TV in the family room at the back of the house, all the other devices that receive video are at the front of the house). I have considered ethernet over mains adapters as a maybe, depending on how bad things are in the next house. All formats PS3 natively supports: MP3/WMA, JPG/PNG/GIF/TIFF, and all kind of videos (AVI, MP4, TS, M2TS. Its backed up with the powerful Mplayer/FFmpeg packages. We can't install ethernet in this house since it isn't ours, and my wife won't allow blue cables running everywhere. PS3 Media Server is a DLNA compliant Upnp Media Server for the PS3, written in Java, with the purpose of streaming or transcoding any kind of media files, with minimum configuration. I have used Android WiFi analyser to choose a vacant channel. The house we are currently is so bad for streaming via WiFi, my LG TV cannot DLNA to my server and PMS is the only way I can control the quality down to allow sensible playback, even over wireless N. Using PMS to transcode the file on the fly and transmit a slightly degraded quality allows fluid video streaming. Passing through walls/floors via WiFi can cause constant stream pauses. If you stream the media in its original format, the file may be huge. One of my favourite things to do is to tune the quality settings in PMS to suit the structure of the house I live in when we have to move (my job requires relocation every couple of years). ![]() I think people are missing the point of PMS in this situation. If you're finished with pointless posting/trolling.maybe spend more time trying to help the guy (Like I am) rather than questioning people's method of understanding the problem. PS3 Media Server isn't exactly amazing.there are tons of software just like it. So he mentions it being "Up a floor taped to the PC".then goes on to say the "PC downstairs.".Does it not sound like he has a PC "up a floor" and a PC "downstairs" to you? I can only blame the confusing and poorly worded original post.įor example "The Pi will be up a floor taped to the back of the pc, the plan is to have Raspbmc connect to the pc downstairs, which will transcode the video file i request and stream it back to the Pi" Why would he be asking this question if he had another computer next to his Television, come on now. The Only program I think that can do want I want it to do is TVersity Screen Server.J060514 wrote:You misunderstood again, Ps3 media server is an amazing program that runs OFF OF ONE COMPUTER and hosts files that can be trans coded on the fly from this computer to any computer or UPNP device on the network. I was able to get a screen capture with VLC Media Player but didn't know how to make it appear and/or connect to the Media Server Software. Is there anything that can be used? I can stream my files on my PC to my PS3 and watch them with PS3 Media Server and Universal Media Server. The audio equipment, PS3 and amps are in a closet which houses it. I cannot hook up my PC in the same room as the PS3 because the layout Ethernet ports of my dad's house. I cannot move my dad's TV because it is his. My TV is a dumb TV it does not have an Ethernet port. Im looking for software that will allow me to stream live video and audio of my desktop on my LAN to my PS3 which in turn is hooked up to my family's TV and Speakers. ![]() In the test case they use, they ripped a new DVD made in 2018 that was 7.16GB for a 1:32:12 long film. Of course, it’s heavily caveated with the obligatory “your mileage may vary” disclaimer. Usually, a sticker on your computer indicates what generation of Intel processor you have and if it has a graphics card in it.ĭigiarty boasts ripping times as low as 5 minutes on their website. I realize you might not know what architecture your CPU is or if your computer has a GPU in it. Here’s a handy reference to see if your GPU is supported:Īnd here’s a table for CPU acceleration support: So, even if your computer is five or more years old (like mine), you can probably take advantage of the hardware acceleration features. NVIDIA rolled out NVENC with its Kepler-based GeForce 600 series in 2012. Intel introduced QSV in 2009 with its Sandy Bridge CPU architecture. What’s new is the way their software makes it all work together. The technology that WinX DVD taps to speed up your DVD rips isn’t exactly new. When you select the Intel and Nvidia checkboxes in WinX DVD Ripper Platinum, your computer starts using three different processors to rip your DVD, two of which are specifically designed for quickly processing video.ĭoes My Computer Support Hardware Acceleration for DVD Ripping? That’s essentially what QSV and NVENC are: express checkout lines for processing video. Everyone waiting in the long, regular lines move over to these two new lines and things speed up across the board. These are for lines where people are only buying non-produce items and only paying with credit cards. Now, imagine that the store manager comes out and opens up two new express checkout lines. With so many shoppers buying so many different items, it creates a bottleneck. Imagine it like a supermarket with one checkout line open. Even with multiple processing cores, there are limited resources available for processing data. When you do normal computer tasks, all that data gets crunched through the CPU is the central processing unit. I promised I wouldn’t get too geeky, but let me explain briefly.
In designing the language, the creators' main priority was to make the language and development environment simple, intuitive, and easily learnable by children who had no previous programming experience. During their use of Scratch, people can create, remix, and collaborate with others on Scratch projects. Children and even adults gain an understanding of the fundamentals of programming with Scratch and often move on to other programming languages. Some teachers even use Teacher Accounts to monitor students while having fun in the Scratch Community. Scratch is widely used in schools around the world as a means of introducing basic computer programming to children. MIT will continue to collaborate closely with the Scratch Foundation. Scratch 3.0, which was released on January 2, 2019, updated the look and feel of the website and editor and added many new features, such as new extensions.īecause of the growth of the Scratch community, the Scratch Foundation was created and it has led the design, development, and support of Scratch since March 2019. Scratch continued to grow, achieving 30 million users and projects in 2018. Upon the release of Scratch 2.0 in 2013, the website and User Interface were changed. At this point, Scratch had millions of users, projects, and many new features. Scratch 1.1, Scratch 1.2, Scratch 1.3, and Scratch 1.4 were released. As Scratch became more popular, the website grew with it. At that time, only the offline editor existed, and the website was a small blog where projects could be uploaded and played. Scratch 1.0, the first stable version, lacked many of the features now present. The Lifelong Kindergarten Group was also inspired by Logo and EToys. The idea behind Scratch was inspired by work in the Computer Clubhouse where children wanted to created interactive stories, games, and animations but there were no tools that could easily do this. Scratch began development in 2003 and was released to the public in 2007. There are currently over 93 million registered users and 108 million shared projects. Users can communicate and discuss in the Scratch community by posting comments and using the Discussion Forums. One of the core features of Scratch is remixing, in which users can change and re-share other users' projects. Projects that users create can be shared to the Scratch Website, making them visible to everyone. Scratch also has its own built-in paint editor and sound editor. This method of programming (building code with blocks) is referred to as " drag-and-drop programming". These scripts then control sprites that can perform actions on the stage. Many connected blocks are called scripts. Users program in Scratch by dragging blocks from the block palette and attaching them to other blocks like a jigsaw puzzle. It has tools for creating interactive stories, games, art, simulations, and more. Scratch is designed to be fun, educational, and easy to learn. The current version, 3.0, can be used in the online editor here or downloaded here (the previous version, 2.0, can be downloaded here). Scratch is a free, educational, block-based programming language that is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
