Woody Allen has assembled yet another high-wattage cast for his most recent film about a struggling writer caught in a love triangle.
Last year it was Josh Brolin married to Naomi Watts, tempted by Freida Pinto in "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger." This year it's Owen Wilson engaged to Rachel McAdams, but drawn to Marion Cotillard in "Midnight in Paris."
No disrespect, but the trailer for "Midnight" is about what you'd expect these days from Allen, though Michael Sheen appears to be enjoying the role of insufferable "pseudo-intellectual," so that could be fun.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Rounding out the cast are Kathy Bates, Adriedn Brody, Tom Hiddleston, Lea Seydoux, Allison Pill and of course the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni, who doesn't appear to be anywhere near as bad as last summer's rumors suggested.
"Tall Dark Stranger" was better than most of Allen's other more recent films, hopefully he's continued getting back his touch for "Midnight." The film opens the Cannes Film Festival on May 11 and goes into limited release stateside on May 20.

During one of our recent SCOM 2016 deployments we encountered an issue where the agent (referred to as the Microsoft Monitoring Agent) was deployed to an IIS server - initially without any apparent problems. However, when the IIS server was restarted some time later to accommodate some Windows updates, the IIS Application Pools began to crash regularly. A check of the Windows Event Log on the server threw up the following Event ID 1000 error:
Log Name: Application
Source: Application Error
Date: 24.02.2017 10:42:30
Event ID: 1000

Identifying the Issue
The 'Faulting Module Path' in the above application error pointing to the Application Performance Monitoring (APM) component of the agent was the first give-away to us that SCOM was the culprit. A quick uninstall of the SCOM 2016 agent and recycle of the Application Pools gave us confirmation when the errors and crashes went away.
The Microsoft Monitoring Agent APM component comes bundled in the form of a Windows service as part of the initial agent installation but is disabled by default as shown below:
APM is typically enabled through the SCOM console on a server-by-server basis and delivers some really nice DevOps scenarios for monitoring .NET workloads at a code level.
I've previously blogged about SCOM APM, presented on it at conferences and even wrote a chapter in the Mastering SCOM 2012 R2 book about it. A number of our customers also use this feature and it's always been very successful.
The weird thing about this particular IIS crashing issue though was that the APM feature was never enabled.
We needed to dig deeper to see how we could continue monitoring this server using SCOM without having the IIS Application Pools crashing and as the faulting module path in the Event Log error referenced the APM component, I decided to focus here first.
If you use the command line to install your SCOM agents, you can specify a parameter that removes the APM feature from the agent installation (check out this link for command line options) and I figured this was the best place to start as the IIS server in question didn't require the APM feature.
Removing the Agent APM Feature
In the following steps, I'll walk you through a process to remove the APM feature on the SCOM 2016 agent using the command line. The first walk-through will perform an in-place repair on an existing agent to save you from having to uninstall the agent first. An added benefit of the repair option is that the agent will stay registered as Remotely Manageable in the console and you'll avoid having to follow this process to change them.
The second walk-through will show you how to use the command line to perform a new agent installation that doesn't contain the APM feature.
(Repair Agent Install Option)
Copy the SCOM 2016 Agent installation folder (amd64) from your SCOM server to the IIS server (this folder is located at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2016\Operations Manager\Server\AgentManagement")
Log on to the IIS server and open a command prompt using an administrative account. From there, browse to the location where you saved the SCOM 2016 Agent folder to and run the following command:
msiexec.exe /i momagent.msi NOAPM=1
This command will then launch the Microsoft Monitoring Agent Setup installer shown in the following image..
Click Next and if you've already installed the SCOM 2016 agent to your IIS server, then you'll be presented with the Program Maintenance window shown below.
Hit Install at the next window and the agent repair should kick off. After a minute or so, the agent repair job will be complete and you'll be presented with the following confirmation of success...
Now if you open the Windows Services (services.msc) snap-in and check the services listed for the Microsoft Monitoring Agent, you'll see that the APM component is no longer installed as shown here..
With the agent sucessfully repaired, it'd be a good idea to check the Update Rollup version of the agent and if needs be, to re-apply the latest one (UR2 at this time). You can check the UR version of your agent by importing the awesome SCOM Agent Version Addendum Management Pack from Microsoft's Kevin Holman.
Recycle the IIS Application Pools on your IIS server to ensure the new agent changes take affect.
(New Agent Install Option)
If you've already uninstalled the SCOM 2016 agent from your IIS servers or haven't yet deployed it, then follow these steps to get it deployed without the APM feature:
Copy the SCOM 2016 Agent installation folder (amd64) from your SCOM server to the IIS server (this folder is located at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2016\Operations Manager\Server\AgentManagement")
Log on to the IIS server and open a command prompt using an administrative account. From there, browse to the location where you saved the SCOM 2016 Agent folder to and run the following command:
msiexec.exe /i momagent.msi NOAPM=1
This command will then launch the Microsoft Monitoring Agent Setup installer where you will need to click Next and then hit the I Agree button in the following window to accept the license agreement.
At the Destination Folder window, confirm the installation path for the agent and click Next to continue.
When you see the Agent Setup Options window, select Connect the agent to System Center Operations Manager (shown below), then hit Next.
At the Management Group Configuration window, fill in the information required to connect the agent to your SCOM environment and remember that the Management Group Name field is case sensitive!
Review your installation settings at the Ready to Install window, then click Install to deploy the agent without the APM feature.
When the agent has installed, open the Windows Services (services.msc) snap-in and check the services listed for the Microsoft Monitoring Agent, you'll see that the APM component is no longer installed (see image below).
As this is a new manually installed agent, you will need to change the Remotely Manageable status of the agent back to Yes by following the steps in Kevin Holman's post here (although this post references SCOM 2007, the steps are still the same for SCOM 2016).
You will also need to install the latest update rollup - which is currently at UR3 - and if you've set the Remotely Manageable status back, you should be able to push the update rollup out from the SCOM console. Make sure to reference the SCOM Agent Version Addendum Management Pack to deliver easier visibility of your agent UR versions.
Recycle the IIS Application Pools on your IIS server to ensure the new agent changes take affect.
***Update 20th August 2017 - Handy Tip for Reinstalling Agents: Microsoft's Kevin Holman and Brian Barrington have come up with a nice workaround to easily reinstall your agents with the NOAPM switch. Check it out here.***
More Information About This Issue
This issue was the first time in years that I've encountered a scenario where the SCOM agent 'broke' something and as such, I wanted to investigate it a bit further and raise it with Microsoft. One of the massive benefits of being a Microsoft MVP for me is that I get the opportunity to interact with the SCOM Product Group on a regular basis.
After a few emails back and forth, the awesome folks on the Product Group came back to me with the following detailed information about the issue:
- Issue affects only IIS Application Pools running .NET Framework 2.0/3.5 and can be seen on any version of Windows Server or IIS that hosts these pools.
- Switching the IIS pool to .NET Framework 4.0 (or higher) will solve the issue however, this is not a suitable workaround for SharePoint as SharePoint 2010 doesn't support 4.0 pools.
- If you need to deploy to the system with IIS running pools 4.0+ - no action is needed and a default installation of the SCOM 2016 Agent will work fine.
- For now, if you need to deploy to a server running .NET Framework 2.0/3.5 application pools, then you'll need to either install the SCOM 2016 agent with the NOAPM=1 switch (following my walkthrough above) or you can continue to use the SCOM 2012 R2 agent as it's forward compatible with SCOM 2016 and doesn't crash these application pools.
- A permanent fix for this issue should be included in Update Rollup 3 for the SCOM 2016 agent.
***Update March 21st 2017: The Product Group have also just released a blog on this issue and in their post, they have confirmed that it will be resolved in Update Rollup 3 along with a chance that a hotix may be released sooner. Check out their blog post here.***
***Update 24th May 2017: Microsoft has just released Update Rollup 3 and you can read all about it in my post here.***
***Update 31st May 2017: Microsoft has just posted that this agent crash issue is still not resolved with UR3 (not cool...). I'll update here when we have more info***
***Update 6th June 2017: Microsoft has posted more information about this issue remaining after UR3 and have mentioned a hotfix is still in the works. Check out their latest post here.***
Although this issue has been an annoyance, it's good to know that it only affects a small subset of legacy systems and the workaround is relatively simple to implement. Hopefully this blog post will help to serve people who've already deployed SCOM 2016 (or who are about to deploy it) and need to monitor legacy IIS application pools prior to the release of UR3.

The premise is: 98 years after the war of the ring, into the 4th age, there is the expectation of a 100 year gathering to celebrate the downfall of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring. News has traveled over all of Middle Earth calling for anyone and everyone to get to Gondor for the celebration.
Our story opens with one traveler, who is leaving two years early, as there are other places to see and people to visit on the way. She meets up with various and diverse characters who are also heading in that direction.
What happens, is something quite different, that they did not expect at all.
This RP will be considered RP lite. I would like to see some fun accompanied with the seriousness. All who would be interested in a new adventure that should not bend minds to write or be a burden on time, please post in this thread with a character bio.
I will have mine up later today.
I hope to see many familiar faces.
The main thread will be started once our cast is set.

Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,
President, American Diabetes Association (July 2001).
Steroids are commonly used in medicine, and their effects on blood sugar are often seriously underestimated. To give the bottom line first, steroids seriously increase the blood sugar level of people who have diabetes, and they cause or uncover diabetes in many people who don't yet have it.
While there are several kinds of steroids, such as the ones used in muscle building ("anabolic or androgenic steroids"), in this discussion we are talking about the group called corticosteroids or glucocorticoids, exemplified by the medications hydrocortisone, prednisone or dexamethasone.
For people who don't think every day about steroids, blood sugar, insulin, diabetes or steroids, a few basic comments may help:
Corticosteroids are essential hormones, made in the adrenal glands, and part of the "fight or flight" response that also includes adrenalin. Like many hormones, they must be present in the right amount: lack of corticosteroids ("Addisons disease") and excessive corticosteroids ("Cushings disease") are each fatal if left untreated.
Corticosteroids are also used quite often medically, not only as a replacement drug in the setting of Addisons disease but to take advantage of their strong effect in suppressing inflammation and suppressing various immune problems. So they are taken to treat many illnesses, from poison ivy to severe asthma to pemphigus. Doctors always want to use them in the lowest dose possible and for the shortest time possible, because the corticosteroids have significant side effects, collectively known as "Cushings syndrome."
One strong effect of corticosteroids is that they counteract insulin. So let's talk about insulin, since it, too, may be beyond your everyday experience: Insulin is another hormone we all have, unless we have type 1 diabetes. Made in the pancreas, insulin helps the body burn sugar for energy. Without enough insulin, the sugar accumulates in the blood, the blood sugar goes too high, and that is called diabetes.
So when corticosteriods counteract the effect of insulin, this means that whatever amount of insulin your pancreas makes normally, when you take steroids, it has to make a lot more to hold the blood sugar normal. If your pancreas is strong and able, it rises to the occasion and makes more insulin when your doctor prescribes steroids. Your blood sugar stays normal. But if your pancreas is not so strong (call it "insulin challenged"), it can't put out enough insulin to overcome the resistance caused by the steroids, not enough to do the job of keeping blood sugar normal. That's when the blood sugar goes up, and you have steroid-induced diabetes.
If you have ever had a cardiac stress test, you know that they look at your cardiogram when you are at rest and it may be fine. But then they want to know whether it stays normal when your heart is stressed by heavy exercise. In the same way, your pancreas may be fine normally, but not up to the stress of steroid treatment. Other such "stress tests" of the pancreas include pregnancy and, the most common, obesity. In each of these situations, the person may have diabetes caused by the stress (diabetes during pregnancy), that is removed by getting out from that stress (diabetes being cured by delivery of the baby).
Steroid-induced diabetes, then, is a sign that your pancreas is not entirely normal, that it may be fine when not challenged by steroids, but is limited when you do have to take the steroids. Steroids are a "stress test" for the pancreas.
The symptoms of steroid-induced diabetes are the same as when diabetes is caused by any other problem: thirst, frequent urination, and unintentional weight loss. Or, the doctor may pick it up by doing a blood glucose test (over 125 mg /dl when you have fasted over eight hours being diabetic.)
Also, the management of steroid-induced diabetes may be similar to the management of other causes of diabetes: a more healthy diet, pills or even insulin. But the good news is that when the dose of steroids is reduced or they are stopped altogether, the diabetes may well go away. Having had diabetes once during steroid treatment, though, your pancreas has declared itself borderline. You are at much higher risk of getting it again later, especially if you start steroids again.

On July 17, 2006, I challenged password-cracking readers to a contest. I was looking to support my conclusion that longer, less complex passwords provided more protection compared with everyday eight- to 10-character shorter, but more complex passwords.
Conventional wisdom says that because end-users have 94 characters to choose from on a 101-key keyboard, breaking an eight-character, complex password -- out of 94^8 = 6,095,689,385,410,816 different possible passwords -- is not a trivial task.
I postulated that an eight-character, complex password was not so difficult to break, and that to withstand normal password cracking, you should increase password length to something beyond 10 characters. I issued a challenge in the form of three Windows NT password hashes:
The first (and easiest) challenge was a 10-character password with normal complexity -- uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and containing two "license-plated" English words. The second, harder challenge was a 15-character password with no complexity -- one or more English words, all lowercase. The third, hardest challenge was a 15-character or longer password with minor complexity -- containing one or more English words. I offered prizes of books, column fame, and $100 for cracking one or more of the challenges.
It's been several months now, and we have a winner. Well, a winner on the 10-character password-crack challenge. Anthony Adamo of Colorado took about three weeks to reveal the first challenge password of S10wDr1v3r. I sent Tony a copy of all three of my latest books for his efforts. After Tony claimed his prize, two other readers sent in the correct guesses for the 10-character password; one a day after Tony, and another just three weeks ago.
No one has cracked the two larger challenges as of press time, although I know there are several hundred computer teams -- one with over 1,000 computers --working on the challenges.
I did get dozens of bad guesses, and lots of people telling me I'm an idiot or that I'm wrong. If you're in the latter camp, I figure there is no better way to prove me wrong than to send me the plain-text passwords for the 15-character or longer passwords.
I had several writers tell me that my $100 main prize wasn't enough to motivate them, and if they just had enough monetary motivation they would do it. They said that $1,000 or $10,000 would better motivate them. In every case, I pledged in writing to give them the money they wanted, and still none of them delivered.
And yes, I'll be keeping the 15-character complex and noncomplex password hashes in a contest for future awards. Good luck.
Does all this conclusively confirm that longer, noncomplex passwords will always win over short, more complex passwords? Of course not, but it adds at least some credibility to my conjecture that increased password length does have its place in boosting password strength.
Short, "complex" passwords cannot be relied on because you cannot (normally) guarantee complexity. Most end-users will not create a password that is very complex. Most of the world uses an eight-character or shorter complex password to protect their systems.
This is a really bad idea, and here's why. First, if you require an eight-character-minimum password, most users will choose an eight-character password. If you require a capital letter, they will put it at the beginning because we are trained in writing class to do that. If you require a number, most users will put the number at the end, and the number will be 1 or 2.
The "complex" password will probably contain mostly letters. The first letter is normally not a vowel, but it is highly likely that several of the subsequent letters are. So my password hacking can continue by doing character replacement on the majority of the middle of the password using the five vowel characters (for English passwords). And because vowels don't often appear three in a row, I can pull those five characters out when substituting multiple characters in a row.
Even though users have 94 characters to choose from on the keyboard, 80 percent of passwords will contain the same 32 characters and symbols -- as mentioned in my previous columns. Most passwords by English authors contain a root English word, many of which can be found in a password-cracking dictionary containing just 30,000 words.
Most men have a password that reflects their hobby, sport, or favorite sports team. You'd be surprised how often Goskins! works in Washington, D.C., and Gobulls! works in Chicago. Most women have a password having to do with a personal noun, like the names of children, boyfriends, husbands, dogs, travel location, or hobby. This may seem like sexiest speculation, but you can set up the John the Ripper and other password crackers, to successfully follow these "popularity" rules.
How many of you saw your own password described above? If your own password is not above, how likely is it that I described a fair amount of your end-users' passwords?
And that's the problem. Even if complexity is required, most user passwords aren't all that hard to guess. Even extreme examples -- such as my first challenge password, which is longer and more complex than the average password, isn't computationally as difficult to crack as longer passwords.
My advice? Realize that eight-character, complex passwords aren't as tough as you think. Push for longer passwords, complex or not, to gain password strength.

Find a table lamp for every room & style
Bedside lamps
A bedroom table lamp sets the mood for your bedroom and illuminates reading and task work. A nightstand should be about the same height as your mattress, and bedside table lamps should be 24"–27" tall for optimal bedtime reading.
Living room lamps
Light your living room & create an inviting atmosphere by choosing the right table lamp. The ideal lamp size for a living room table lamp is 24"–34" tall, and the bottom of the shade should line up with eye level when seated.
Desk lamps
Layered lighting is key for the home office. Task desk lighting can help bring specific areas into focus, while a taller lamp can brighten a larger area while making an office cozier. Desk lamps can range in size from 12"–30" high.

Luxury and Glam : Table Lamps
If you need lamps for function or for fashion, you'll be sure to find what you want in the giant selection we have at Target.com. For reading, work or play, you'll find the lamp you need. Table lamps are one of the most common ways to bring light into a room. But there are many other ways. Stand-up floor lamps bring the light you need to a space that requires lighting but doesn't have a convenient table. Floor lamps light up dark corners of a room, effectively enlarging the square footage of your living space. An accent chair with any of our floor lamps can create a cozy reading nook. A desk lamp is ideal for your home office work space or for additional lighting at your desk. Bedroom lamps are another way to add brightness to an area that needs task lighting. Bedroom table lamps, or nightstand lamps, are available in many styles, and can add the look and the light you need. Another helpful option is to have touch lamps bedside to make it easy to turn on the light. You don't have to struggle to find the on/off switch in the dark. For those locations that don't have a handy electrical outlet, consider cordless table lamps. They look great, provide ample light and can be placed anywhere. Novelty lamps, such as lava lamps, are a great way to enliven the decor of any room. And don't forget lampshades. Choose a new lampshade from our collection to give any lamp a makeover. It's an easy and affordable way to create a new look in any room.

The New Big Blue Box
I had my first opportunity to use Medtronic's Adapta and Versa pacemakers today. Nice line, but no big paradigm shift from last year's models. What WAS different, however, was the packaging: each of these pacemakers were packaged in a fairly thick Big Blue plastic box emblazoned with a beautiful Medtronic logo. Not cardboard, as in prior years' models. Nope, non-biodegradable, last-for-ever, oil-cartel supporting, plastic. I guess trees in ol' Minnesota are getting thin, so they went with plastic. Or could there be another reason… Hmmmm…
Remember that meeting between Art Collins and Carlos Gutierrez earlier this year? Could this have been what the Bush administration wanted: the use of plastic to support big oil interests? Maybe it's cheaper to manufacture, I really don't know. But like it or not, the long-term implications of packaging like this are significant. Other big corporations like McDonalds got rid of their Styrofoam clam-shell packaging for their Big Macs in favor of cardboard boxes due to grass-roots pressure. Even Starbucks has been pressured to bring back paper cups in many of its stores. Now I don't consider myself particularly "Green," but with the price of oil these days, it seems it should be cheaper to package in cardboard rather than plastic – certainly it seems better for our environment.
And how do hospitals get rid of their trash? All this trash was commonly incinerated and this has been a sensitive topic here in Illinois. Landfills are no better, since this stuff will never decompose.
Now don't get me wrong. Medtronic is a fine company and makes great products. But decisions to make packaging changes should be examined carefully, especially when they have such an important world-wide impact for our patients and environment.

I received a Versa implant on Thursday (first pacemaker, first surgery, first everything), and upon checkout of the hospital was handed my manual and id card inside of this tough blue plastic box. Given that I'm going to have this thing in me for 10 years, I like that I have a place to keep my paperwork and manual. So, render one voice of dissent -- I don't like it when my valuables biodegrade.
Of course I found the manual to be absurdly lightweight. The manual for my cordless phone is significantly more informative. Considering it's wired up to my heart, I'd like to know more about it. (The website is no help.)

Congrats on your new pacemaker! Hopefully all went well. I'm interested in your comment:
...I like that I have a place to keep my paperwork and manual.
In my experience, these boxes were used for packaging only and have always been discarded at the end of the case and not given to the patient to house their manual. Did you do home with yours? If so, here might be a use to this blue box, after all!
Usually the info is pretty good in those manuals, but is admittedly geared to a novice audience. Talk with your doc - he might be able to have other info sent to you.

First, let's introduce the concept of a network. It is a type of Graph, specifically a directed graph, with capacities on the flow volumes through edges. The flow originates at a vertex called the source and travels to a destination vertex known as a sink. There can be many sources and sinks, but for the sake of this tutorial, networks with only a single source and sink will be examined. Applying this to real life, pipes can carry only certain amounts of water and computer networks have transfer and bandwidth limits. So network flow optimization has a very practical application.
An example of a network is shown below:
Next, let's discuss the idea behind Network Flow Optimization. The initial state of the network contains capacities and initial flow values. The idea is to find paths from the source to the sink along which additional flow can be provided. Such paths are known as augmenting paths. Once no additional augmenting paths can be found, the algorithm terminates. It is important to note as well that flow can be "pushed back" or rerouted from incoming edges. For example, if Vertex C has incoming flow from D, it can push some of the flow from D back (or re-route it) along a different path.
Now that there is a basic understanding of network flow optimization, let's examine specifically how the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm solves this problem. Each iteration of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm finds a single flow augmenting path. When finding the augmenting path, a greedy approach is used, adding as much flow as possible. However, the amount of flow that actually reaches the sink is then added to edges where flow is pushed forward, and subtracted from edges where flow is pushed back or re-routed. The updated network is then re-evaluated. This process continues until no more augmenting paths can be found.
Flow is added initially from the source. It then tries to push flow forward or backwards to adjacent vertices in a breadth-first order, ignoring vertices that have already been evaluated. Those vertices that can accept additional flow do so and are added to a Queue, and then evaluated using the same process until an augmenting path is found or the queue is empty. When pushing flow, there is the constraint that no additional flow can be moved forward than came from the previous vertex. The source is not subject to this constraint.
The last path found by the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm is not an augmenting path. Instead, it outlines the boundaries for the minimum cut, which ensures that the flow from the source is equal to that received from the sink. A cut has two complementary vertex sets separating the source and sink. The last path found by the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm comprises one vertex set in the minimum cut.
Some Pseudo-Code:
fordFulkerson(Network graph(Source, Sink)) flowIncrease <-- 0 do flowIncrease <-- augmentFlow(graph) while flowIncrease > 0 end fordFulkerson augmentFlow(Network graph(Source, Sink)) queue <-- new vertex queue for each adjacent vertex from Source If the direction is Source -> vertex slack <- vertex.capacity - vertex.flow If slack > 0 label <-- (forward, slack, Source) vertex.setLabel(label) queue.push(label) Else slack <-- vertex.flow If slack > 0 label <-- (backwards, slack, Source) vertex.setLabel(label) queue.push(label) end for while the queue isn't empty AND the Sink has not been reached temp <-- queue.poll for each unlabeled adjacent vertex from temp If the direction is temp -> vertex slack <- vertex.capacity - vertex.flow If slack > 0 label <-- (forward, slack, temp) vertex.setLabel(label) queue.push(label) Else slack <-- vertex.flow If slack > 0 label <-- (backwards, slack, temp) vertex.setLabel(label) queue.push(label) end while temp <-- Sink //if the sink hasn't been reached, //then there is no augmentation if Sink.getLabel() is NULL return 0 augmentation <-- temp.getLabel().getSlack() while temp != Source label <-- temp.getLabel() parent <-- label.getParent() if label.getDirection() == forward increase the flow between temp and parent by augmentation else decrease the flow between temp and parent by augmentation temp <-- parent end while return augmentation end augmentFlow
Now, let's work through an example:
Here, let Vertex A be the source and Z be the sink.
The only vertex A can send flow to is vertex B, which can accept at most 5 units of flow. So create a label for B, denoting its parent, flow increase, and direction; and add it to the Queue:
Queue (Vertex, Direction, Flow Increase, Parent):
Next, let's evaluate B. Its adjacent vertices are D and E. Vertex D can re-route its 5 units of flow from B to another vertex, so add it to the Queue. Vertex E accepts forward flow from B; but since it is at capacity, it cannot accept additional flow. Therefore, ignore it.
Queue (Vertex, Direction, Flow Increase, Parent):
Next, let's evaluate D. Its only viable adjacent vertex is F, where it can push forward 3 units of flow, which is less than the 5 it received. Veretex F has a capacity of 7 and currently has 4 units of flow coming from D before augmentation. Now push F onto the Queue.
Queue (Vertex, Direction, Flow Increase, Parent):
Continuing along this process, the following flow pushes are made:
-F pushes 2 units back to E, as it cannot push back or re-route more flow than is coming in.
-E then pushes 2 units of flow to the sink Z, which is still below capacity.
The Augmenting Path is: A -> B <- D -> F <- E -> Z, with a flow increase of 2. The revised network is below:
When we evaluate the network using the algorithm again, we are stuck at F. So since no augmenting path can be created, the minimum cut is ({A, B, D, F}, {E, Z}), and the maximal flow that can reach the sink is 15.

Option to disable Auto expand on control Panel/layer stack so their appearance (collapse/expand) is unique.
Background: When adding effect or working with properties in the Control Panel also the layer stack expands. This makes Scrolling a bit of hell when having 40+ layers in a comp which result in 40 lines and after expaning two layers there are about 10 lines more.
Anyway sometimes it may be nice to Keep behaviour like it is now so an Option would be good instead of changing a behaiour other users might find useful.
A looping function just like in after effects
Possibly allow the use of mouse clicks on the second, (or third) monitor and not stop hitfilm from doing what it is currently doing. My machine is graphically challenged Geforce750TI ,so sometimes my ADD kicks in and I choose to check email or this forum while loading up a ram preview, and it stops dead in it's tracks.
I've said this before multiple times--directly to @Ady via email (twice!) in Beta, in my video first look, and on the forum, and I'll say it again with a new twist now. Also, for the first time ever, I tag @JoshDaviesCEO directly in the Wishlist, since Ady basically said via email "Mike, I agree, but Josh wants this." We all agree that one should certainly do what the boss says, so this is now an open letter to the brilliant big man, on behalf of the users.
The new Quality Settings and Play/Pause options in Hitfilm Pro v6 are a fantastic and great idea for much finer control over the Viewer Panel, but with bass-ackwards implementation:
Josh, can we pretty-pretty please have the new Viewer Quality Settings moved back to the dedicated button they had before? That button previously had a "current/full" toggle behavior with a click/hold bringing up a context menu, so we wouldn't lose the functionality of the new submenus, but they would be back in a high-traffic area.
Suggested additional behavior for toggling. The "Off" toggle uses "current settings." The "On" Toggle sets both playback and pause settings to highest-quality. This is a useful toggle behavior for easy max-quality RAM previews or fine-tuning lights and materials, final grading etc. Then a single click returns to my desired (lower quality) settings for speed when animating/keyframing. That's a lot faster than having to take multiple trips to multiple submenus. I truly feel this would take this powerful new toolset and make it much more intuitive for upgrading and brand new users alike.
@Triem23 I agree the playback controls are confusing what is the purpose for the paused playback quality?
@Andersen01498 this is actually a function in other software (such as After Effects). Basically "Paused" quality will never be lower than "Playback" quality. One might be playing back an animation or edit at a lower quality for maximum smoothness, but want higher quality when adjusting fine details while paused. Having the two separate quality settings should, in theory, reduce the number of times a user needs to toggle quality settings during editing/animation. Usually it does, but, now the controls are just in an awkward place!
+1 to to awkward placement observation. Only recently did I stumble across an issue that caused me to go searching and finally found the adjustments I needed
Hitfilm needs a crop to region of interest tool...this is helpful. I wish HItfilm had this. https://www.rocketstock.com/blog/how-to-crop-in-after-effects/
Link to clarify what I want
There are a few things here that Hitfilm needs to speed up users workflow.
1. Have the ability to drag and drop effects to the viewer window instead of dragging it to the control panel
2. Have the ability to lock our layers
3. Have a crop to region interest tool an example (https://www.rocketstock.com/blog/how-to-crop-in-after-effects/)
4. Have the ability to adjust the anchor point with our cursor instead of moving the anchor point in the control window
5. An option to interpret footage and this has the ability to loop footage an example (https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/interpret-footage-in-after-effects/)
6. a pick whip option when parenting layers
7. expressions
8. more options with the pen tool ( I know you can draw shapes with the pen tools but some people just don't have the time)
9. The ability to have stroke ability to your masks...I don't want to use the neon glow path effect, this is not an efficient way to do things
10. The ability to right click- reverse keyframes ( once again I'm not talking about an effect) users should be able to reverse keyframes without wasting time to put an effect
11. The ability to have different comp windows up at the same time... so users can quickly know how it is affecting the other comp without manually going back to the comp tab.
12. real world camera settings
13. more real-world light settings
14. The ability to add markers
15. The ability to see all our keyframes in one click of a button
16. The ability to align objects
17. The ability to have snapping abilities when aligning objects
These are just a few as time goes on I will update this list to make it easier for the devs as they are looking for wishlist items.
1. Have the ability to drag and drop effects to the viewer window instead of dragging it to the control panel
I'm confused here. I assume the dragged effect should go to the active layer, but, once I drop an effect, I usually adjust it, so my mouse would end up in Controls anyway... But I'll +1 this, anyway.
2. Have the ability to lock our layers
+21 (fingers, toes and ?? up)
3. Have a crop to region interest tool an example (https://www.rocketstock.com/blog/how-to-crop-in-after-effects/)
The viewer window zooms around the mouse pointer with the scroll wheel, so we kind of have this, but a drag box is a good idea, so +1
4. Have the ability to adjust the anchor point with our cursor instead of moving the anchor point in the control window
You can do this if the value is highlighted in layers/controls.
5. An option to interpret footage and this has the ability to loop footage an example (https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/interpret-footage-in-after-effects/)
Hitfilm can already interpret frame rate--right-click in media bin and select Properties. +1 for loop.
6. a pick whip option when parenting layers
Meh. Click/drag or use a dropdown menu. I prefer the dropdown, myself. That's me: often in large comps I bury control points at the bottom of the stack. Pick whip would involve scrolling. Guess it's 6 of 1, half-dozen of the other.
7. expressions
I'd probably rather have more behaviors. I've seen very few expressions ever that can't be replicated with two keyframes.
8. more options with the pen tool ( I know you can draw shapes with the pen tools but some people just don't have the time)
Expand, please?
9. The ability to have stroke ability to your masks...I don't want to use the neon glow path effect, this is not an efficient way to do things
Neon path is Stoke. With glow.
10. The ability to right click- reverse keyframes ( once again I'm not talking about an effect) users should be able to reverse keyframes without wasting time to put an effect.
Are you referring to positions on timeline or value? Some, but not all, keyframes values can be inverted by holding CTRL and clicking on keyframe. Try it with Position, for example. I'd like this shortcut on all keys, though.
11. The ability to have different comp windows up at the same time... so users can quickly know how it is affecting the other comp without manually going back to the comp tab.
With the caveat of performance hits, +1.
12. real world camera settings
These would be helpful, but see Essential Hitfilm 12 on my Hitfilm University YouTube channel. That entire episode is about matching Hitfilm's camera to a real-world lens. An upcoming episode will return to the topic for lens distortion. FYI, a default Hitfilm cam is 35mm.
13. more real-world light settings
Expand, please?
14. The ability to add markers
15. The ability to see all our keyframes in one click of a button
On a layer or globally? Expand, please.
16. The ability to align objects
17. The ability to have snapping abilities when aligning objects
Don't append your list, do new posts. I doubt the devs scroll, looking for edited posts.
"A looping function just like in after effects"
@Andersen01498 For those of us who haven't used AE to get your reference, what exactly do you mean by this? Looping what and where?
@jsbarrett I think he wants a toggle where a media clip will loop if you stretch it past its end frame. Vegas and Premiere have this too. Very useful for looping media, obviously.
Can you add the features that allows us to apply camera mapping on 3D models ? and also to edit meshes on it (deformation of 3D models)
thank you in advance
When you add a text layer and type, the text layer name should match the text that you are typing instead of having to manually rename the text layer
Hi, putting Quality profiles in a more accessible place would be great. I found recently my lighting was not working and to be honest if not for Bob De Mazio telling me where to look,I would still be sitting trying to figure it out
+1 On moving the quality selection to a better place. Like where is was before. One can still do this via a popup menu like currently implemented in the options menu.
While on the subject of quality. What the heck is antialised (AA) doing on the resolution menu. AA is not a resolution. Especially as HF only does MSAA. It is a visual quality choice and should be an option among the visual quality options now offered in HF6.
Okay prior to HF6, Hitfilm did not have quality options but you wanted to offer AA for use during edit. Putting it on the resolution menu made some sense given the features offered at the time. It is not a resolution but where to put an AA option. Now with the quality options in HF6 it makes no sense where it is. Just because previous versions did it a certain way does not make it "right" going forward.
Moving it would also allow AA in Half resolution. This can be useful when you must use Half for better playback. Yes, AA adds overhead and reduces performance some level. Half+AA, especially at 4x, can perform better than Full with no AA, and it will look better. 3D models will look better with AA at half rez. They get really jaggy at 960x540 (half 1080). Probably text as well but I cannot comment from first hand experience here.
It seems, the whole idea of this HF6 quality feature it to give us users the flexibility to balance quality with playback performance. So why stab us in the eye by removing the flexibility for us to find a sweat spot.
Seconded to infinity for the ability to loop clips in the timeline (in both editor and composite modes). I'm currently working on a project where I need a 1-minute piece of footage to loop for several hours and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this except to tediously cut and paste the clip over and over in the timeline.
@dankoernergmailcom cut'n'paste the clip 5-10 times in a comp. Copy that comp into another one. Cut'n'paste it 5-10 times. You now have 25-100 versions. Copy that to another comp and cut'n'paste as many times as you need. It soon multiplies up. Not ideal, but a bit less tedious. If you need variation you could have multiples of some of the lower level comps, or the mid level ones .
The ability to mark clips in the Media panel would be nice. When I go through and find the clips that I want to keep, they usually get lost in all of the bad takes. Maybe a small flag button next to every item? An extreme would be the ability to assign a color to items (etc. Blue for the ones I want to keep, red for the ones I absolutely can't use).
Ich wünsche mir eine deutschsprachige Unterstützung für Hitfilm - für die Software und insbesondere für die Tutorials. Die englischen Videos sind für meine Sprachkenntnisse zu schnell.
My wish: support for German language in Hitfilm - for the software and especially for the tutorials. The english tutorials are at most to fast for me to understand.
+1 for @Triem23 Suggestion of moving the quiality Settings. It should be clearly for the user - especially new users - when some Things are not shown because of the actual Viewer Settings. What if you Keep the Profile where it is AND make a few Icons at the old place so the user can recognize (because some Icons are "greyed") that some Things will not Display with the actual Viewer Settings.
+1 for uncomplicating the quality profile process. And putting the buttons were they were in 2017. Also, unless someone has a compelling reason that these parameters should be completely user customizable thus allowing the unaware to hose things completely. Please limit it to the factory choices. Also, Fastest (to me) is absolutely useless since all generated aspects ie extrusions etc are not shown.
@BobDiMarzio true, but fastest is of most use to Vloggers and Let's Play. Sometimes you wanna kill all effects and just check the video edit. It's not something I would use often, but it's good to have as an "effects bypass" toggle.
I'm also all for customization. With those controls buried in File>Properties a lot of users will only use the factory defaults. For myself, I don't remember offhand how I adjusted things, but I did customize one level.
As I've pounded away on, I love the feature concept, I just don't like the menu placement. People on slow to medium GPUs will want to cycle viewer options a lot. Especially if, say, messing around with spydurhank's insane 1.5m poly X-wing with 4k or higher textures!
@Triem23 Yes, I can see that. however, I must admit that I do not know what "Let's Play" is. For me I find that Fractal noise black hole type effects bring my machine to a halt. I need to upgrade my woefully outdated 750TI. What is your opinion of the GTX1070?
@BobDiMarzio Let's Play is the inexplicable practice of watching a screen capture of someone else playing a video game. Something I don't understand as an old man...
The 1070 is probably the power/price winner right now. The 1080s are significantly faster, but not enough to justify the price increase unless you really have money to spend.
I customized the Quick level. I enabled lighting for that quality level. I can't ever see myself using fastest but Quick with lights could be good when shadows (draft) become burdensome.
Use the mouse wheel for zoom in/out in the editor/composite shot timeline
(like the viewer panel).

Yep, folks, that's right. After a year of hosting The Gamer Lounge on the WordPress servers, I'm moving out! Not that the stay hasn't been enjoyable, in fact, it's been almost too enjoyable! I've decided that I need more options with my blog, and also wanted to finally get my own domain name. So where are we now? http://www.theglp.net (GLP stand for Gamer Lounge Podcast, get it?)
Please come and pay us a visit, as that is where all the new posts will be. This will be the last post on this page, as sad as it may be.
The Gamer Lounge isn't the only thing that has a true piece of the web, either! I've decided to create a website to bring all of my media projects together, and that can now be viewed at: http://www.lukargo.com
Thanks so much for reading the blog, and I look forward to seeing you at the new address!

Mental Summer
I'm getting sick of winter. March is having schizophrenic weather with multiple personality disorders. Hinting at summer one day, snowing the next. Gentle breezes teasing the bulbs to sprout and then pounding them with hail when they try to bloom. It doesn't help that the stores are stocked with shorts, tank tops, and bikinis. It just get me thinking longingly of summer.
Some people deal with this by buying a new bikini and making plans for the beach. Not me. I'm a firm believer that my gift to the world is never putting my body into a bikini again. Instead I make ice cream. (Hmm, now that I put those two things right next to each other, I wonder if there might be a connection. Naw!)
I've been making ice cream like crazy, blithely ignoring the tempests outside, creating my own inner, mental summer. It's a good and happy place. But along with the ice cream piling up in the freezer, I've got egg whites piling up in the fridge. What to do with egg whites? When I asked my daughter, she replied firmly, "Make an angel food cake!"
I also had on hand an abundance of Mayer lemons that I'd picked up at Costco. They're so rarely there that I can't pass them up when I see them. So, combining the two I made Mayer lemon angel food cake. Light, fluffy, moist clouds of cake, topped with a lemony sweet glaze. Perfect for a day when you're pretending you're in shorts and flip flops, rather than bundled up in a parka and a scarf....indoors.
Note: I paired this with Basil Ice cream thinking lemon, basil, and strawberries would be a perfect combination. I decided that I didn't love the Basil ice cream. It tastes just like basil, but I'm not sold that ice cream should taste like basil. Maybe a strawberry frozen yogurt would be better. Mmmm. Plus that doesn't generate extra egg whites to deal with.
Mayer Lemon Angel Food Cake
- adapted from Barefoot Contessa Family Style by Ina Garten
2 cups sifted superfine sugar, divided*
1-1/3 cups sifted cake flour
1-1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature (about 10 to 12 eggs)
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1-1/2 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 tsp grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 Tbsp Mayer lemon juice
1- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. with a rack in the center of the oven.
2- Combine 1/2 cup fo the sugar with the flour and sift together 4 times. Set aside.
3- Place the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the eggs made medium-firm peaks, about 1 minute. Withe the mixer on medium speed, sprinkle the remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar over the beaten egg whites. Whisk for a few minutes until thick and shiny. Whisk in the vanilla and lemon zest and continue to whisk until very thick, about 1 more minute. Sift about one fourth of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold it into the batter with a rubber spatula. Continue adding the flour by fourths by sifting and folding until it's all incorporated.
4- Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth the top, and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes, until it springs back to the touch. Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan on a cooling rack until cool. Remove the cake from the pan after it has cooled and place it on a serving plate or platter.
5- Combine the confectioner's sugar and the lemon juice, whisking until it's smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Serves 8 to 10. Store covered at room temperature.
* If you do not have superfine sugar, just put regular caster sugar in a food processor and pulse it until the sugar is quite fine. Then measure as much as you need.

I think we're on the same page in terms of what we do to encourage summer to come this way--bake! Your ice cream making sounds fabulous, as does this amazing angel food cake. Meyer lemons are the perfect super spring/summer flavor! By the way, I totally appreciate your reference to the spring weather as schizophrenic with multiple personality disorders. What an appropriate metaphor...so true!

That looks like sunshine on a plate, Lynn.
Shame about the basil ice cream not being to your liking.

I have been on the "mental" summer note for a long time. Some times I'll put on one of my bathing suits in my apartment and turn the heat up. I'm dreaming of summer, and wearing flip flops, and the cute skirts and dresses I have, with out having to worry about a coat. I'm ready for popsicles and walks at the beach... mmmm....
I love angle food cake so much. I want some right now!

I think we're pretty much into real summer in Dallas or very close to it. But it isn't summer here in Seattle.
Funny I've been working on an angle cake post. Love that stuff!
You're right I don't think bikini and ice cream are made for each other.

If you sometimes find yourself becoming attached to what you do and the job title that you have, to such an extent that they begin to feel like part of you, as one. Know that your title, for example, as manager, officer, teacher, parent, secretary, etc, are functions you fulfill... roles you play, they are not you. It's one thing to tell others what you do for a living by introducing yourself with your job title or social position, but it's when you completely become that job function or title you begin playing a role.
When you think you are the roles and functions you have, then you also think that a person with a more elevated role than yours… boss, manager or executive, is better than another role.. a janitor, bus boy or taxi driver, etc., and that creates a big problem of labeling people as anything other than human being.
I am a teacher * I am a doctor * I am a manager * I am a wife
But it's really when you identify with your function, to such an extent, that you lose authenticity and takes you over and becomes a role you play, that you lose sight of the fact that who you are requires no belief or validation... because you are not your job, possessions or social position.
|Living Life |With Purpose
- When interacting with others, don't be there primarily as the function or the role you play (teacher, mom, wife, manager, etc)... just be... human being. You can only lose something that you have (role, function)... they come and go, but you cannot lose something that you are (being).
- Don't underestimate the value of awareness. Awareness is your power in the present moment and to identify with any other role or function makes you unconscious (limited) in that moment. You might give notice or attention to that role or function, but your authentic self is nowhere to be found. Authenticity shows up when you practice the ultimate purpose of your human existence... your purpose, your power showing up in life.
How about you, have you ever had a moment like that and if so leave a comment and tell me how you felt at that moment and what you did to correct it, if anything. I would love to hear from you.
I encourage you to study the works of spiritual author, Eckhart Tolle. He will open your heart and mind in the realm of consciousness and purpose.

Yesterday you might have read Modern Art Notes' post on artist Robert Fontenot's Recycle LACMA project, in which the artist purchased deaccessioned objects from LACMA's collection and refashioned them into new objects (also mentioned in a couple of other blogs). Some of our curators have also been thinking about the many issues surrounding Fontenot's project—there's a lot to unpack. We asked our curator of contemporary art, Rita Gonzalez, for her thoughts.
It's been forty years since Andy Warhol transformed the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design in his curatorial effort Raid the Icebox I. Hanging an assortment of scuffed Windsor chairs on the walls salon style and stacking multiple shoe boxes culled from the forgotten parts of the museum's collection, Warhol shined a light—literally—on the leftovers (a category that attracted him to objects and people alike). Conjured up from the same font of inspiration, Los Angeles-based artist Robert Fontenot's online project Recycle LACMA continues this conversation about what remains hidden and what merits display in museums today—and just who is involved in that conversation.
Ironically, Fontenot first started thinking about the lifespan of the museum object when he interned at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art, where he worked with LACMA's former decorative arts curator Thomas S. Michie. As a self-confessed packrat working within a collecting institution, Fontenot found himself thinking about which objects were being preserved and which were contenders for deaccession. The hoarder in his head wondered, "just because this object is not needed now does not mean it won't be 100 years from now." This interest in the discarded translated into his artistic practice as he started to work with outmoded craft techniques, such as the incredible assortment of embroidery samplers that can be viewed on his blog Dictionary of Earthly Delights.
Earlier this year, Fontenot acquired fifty objects from three different auctions of deaccessioned materials from LACMA's Costumes and Textiles collections and has undertaken the self-imposed task of repurposing each into an altogether different entity.
Rather than a condemnation of deaccessioning practices, Recycle LACMA is a joyful but biting call to all collecting museums to think more radically about re-circulating these objects back into a creative economy. While the texts that accompany the deaccessioned and detourned costumes and textiles on his blog comport with the language of museum recordkeeping (condition reports, justifications for deaccessions), this simulation of the institutional voice is only one facet of his project.
The other, more ludic aspect concerns the potential of curators and registrars to think in an expanded way about recycling cultural materials back into a chain of production. Fontenot acknowledges in short essays interspersed throughout the blog that LACMA (as do most museums) looks for cultural institutions more suited for the objects on the deaccession list. But rather than delving too deeply into the pedantic, Fontenot exerts more of his obsessive energy into breathing new life into his acquisitions (which ironically involves "killing" the old object and thus rendering them ineligible for that one hundred year retrospective!). He turns a gold lamé paisley skirt into a promotional banner for our present exhibition Your Bright Future. A 1950s evening dress becomes a beach umbrella. And while the embroidered pair of Guatemalan pants reborn as teddy bears makes some giggle, the Claire McCardell dress morphed into a witch's cap might make some cringe. Of course, those reactions indicate another type of devaluation of the nameless artisan versus the auteur.
As I sat and discussed the project with our Costume and Textiles curator Kaye Spilker, she wondered aloud if it is the status of her department's holdings—so undervalued from the standpoint of art history—that made them more available to Fontenot. Would Fontenot have turned a Van Gogh drawing into a witch hat? As I continue to sit and grapple with this provocative project, I wonder in the end if what Warhol and Fontenot allow us to think through is how the curator and artist are the collectors and hoarders who are oftentimes forced to create through purging and construct through deconstruction.

Colonial Village, DC Real Estate
The community of Colonial Village occupies the northernmost point of the District of Columbia. It is bound by 16th Street, Holly Street and Bach Drive. Settlement of this area began in the 1600s. Modern day Colonial Village was originally included on some of the first maps of Virginia. This changed in 1629 when King Charles I of England granted the land rights to the first Lord of Baltimore. Subsequently, the land was absorbed into the colony of Maryland. It wasn't until 1800 that Colonial Village was included in the northwest quadrant of D.C.
While the community's name is tied to America's colonial past, the only colonial homes to be found here are replicas. The first house in Colonial Village was completed in 1931.
Quality of Life:
Despite its size, Colonial Village is a dynamic, tight-knit community. Winding hills and thickets of mature trees slope into Rock Creek Park, the perfect place to run, jog, bike or walk the dog. Colonial Village offers a quiet, residential experience.
Getting Around:
The closest metro to Colonial Village is Silver Spring station on the Red line, which is accessible to Colonial Village residents by car or bike.

Mosa'ab Elshamy is a 23-year-old freelance photographer in Cairo. Studying to be a pharmacist when the Egyptian revolution broke out in 2011, Elshamy joined the protests with his camera as a citizen journalist, covering the weekly demonstrations and clashes around Tahrir Square. Since then, the self-taught photographer's work has been published by EPA, the Economist and Harper's.
As the Egyptian police began firing on demonstrators in Cairo's Rabaa Square, Elshamy documented the aftermath. He spoke with TIME's Ashraf Khalil about the terror and trauma he witnessed this weekend.
At around 1:30 in the morning on July 27, I was in downtown Cairo when word first came through on social media that clashes had begun between security forces and the Muslim Brotherhood supporters of deposed president Mohammed Morsi.
It wasn't much of a surprise; I was already expecting some sort of violence there — if not on that night, then very soon.
The Brotherhood had been gathered in the thousands for more than a month — even before Morsi was deposed by the military on July 3 — and their open-ended sit-in was clearly beginning to test the patience of the Army. Defense Minister Abdel Fatah Al-Sissi had called for mass rallies around the country that day to show popular support for the military and the public green light to directly confront the Brotherhood.
Both sides were deeply entrenched, and the Brotherhood sit-in was under continuous threat of dispersal. It was only a matter of time.
I arrived on the scene by taxi at around 2:15. The air was already choked with tear gas, and I had left my gas mask at home. I was behind the police lines as members of Central Security — Egypt's busy black-clad riot police — battled the Morsi supporters along a large multi-lane stretch of Nasr Street.
The police prevented me and other journalists from approaching too closely. From a distance, I could see both officers and people in civilian clothes fighting the Brotherhood cadres. At least two of the civilians had handguns, but I didn't think they were plain-clothed security officers. They genuinely seemed — to me, at least — to be neighborhood residents fighting alongside the police.
Unable to get through the police cordon, I took another cab and approached the Brotherhood sit-in from a different direction. Much like Tahrir Square, the area around the Rabaa Adaweya Mosque has multiple entrances and access points; it's a difficult place to simply seal up.
The minute I arrived, I could sense the whole sit-in was on major alert. Everybody was awake and the speaker on the stage was shouting prayers, asking God's protection for the men fighting. Some were rushing towards the front, others were ferrying the wounded back or creating large lanes through the crowds so ambulances could pass through. Everybody seemed to be doing something.
As I approached the front lines, all I could see were huge clouds of tear gas. It was continuous gunfire. I know from experience the difference between the sound of rubber bullets and live ammunition and this was live ammunition. I know that sound by heart.
First I needed to assess whether it was possible for me to work in these conditions. This assessment includes a set of factors like the size of the battle zone, the lighting, escape routes and opportunities for shelter. In this case, all of these factors were bad.
In previous Cairo street clashes I had covered — such as the Mohammed Mahmoud Street clashes in November 2011 — you were dealing with a tiny enclosed space like a few hundreds meters of street. There were side alleys to duck down and cars or buildings to hide behind.
This was completely different — there was nowhere to take cover. The only direction to run was backwards, exposing your back to the people shooting at you. You couldn't really tell where the fire was coming from. It was very, very frightening.
I decided to come back at dawn and headed deeper into the crowds to visit the field hospital — housed in one of the mosque's social halls, which normally host weddings or funerals. It was around 3:30 am. The entire scene was absolute chaos. Everybody was screaming, and there was a shortage of beds. Outside, hundreds of relatives of the dead and wounded were desperately trying to get in.
I saw a man die in front of me. He was shaking and then froth came out of his mouth and he went limp. And the doctor just said, 'martyr,' and they carried the body off to another room.
I tried to photograph as much as I could while staying out of people's way. Sometimes someone would yell at me to get out of there. But others would say they wanted journalists there to witness this. Even some of the nurses were taking pictures and video. The Muslim Brotherhood wanted to document this.
People were constantly carrying in fresh wounded and shouting out "bones" or "surgery" to alert the relevant medical teams. The volunteer doctors were extremely organized. They all had badges or lanyards declaring their specialization and role: ambulance, documentation, bones, surgery, and pharmacy. You could tell from their level of organization that they had been preparing for this.
At around 5:30 am, the situation was light enough outside that I felt safer heading to the front lines. There were still huge clouds of white tear gas, mixing with the black smoke from burning tires.
The Brotherhood cadres were desperately fortifying their positions, pulling up hexagon-shaped sidewalk paving stones and erecting barriers. I looked closely at what kind of weaponry the Brothers had. Maybe there were some people on the Brotherhood side with guns, especially during the night when the clashes were more intense, but the only weapons I saw with my own eyes were rocks, fireworks and people throwing tear gas canisters back at police.
I vividly recall seeing a man fall from a gunshot wound to the head. I literally saw the fountain of blood from his head. He wasn't even up at the battle front, standing at least 100 meters behind the lines.
At 6:30 am, there was a strange lull. A huge burst of gunfire stopped both police and protestors in their tracks. A group of uniformed soldiers had emerged from behind the parade stand; nobody knew they were there before. They stood on the viewing stand and fired into the air.
The crowds erupted, believing that the Army had come to save them at the last minute. I heard people shouting, "The Army is shooting at the police!" People started celebrating. Some were claiming that the Army had defected to the Brotherhood's side. I saw men crying from happiness. It was clear how desperate the Brothers were to have someone join their side and save them.
The lull lasted maybe 15 minutes, and then the Army soldiers left and the police started again with the shooting and tear gas. I still can't make sense of this brief military intervention.
At around 8:30 am, I returned to the main sit-in and visited the makeshift morgue. I saw at least 20 bodies in all wrapped in white sheets and at least four more arrived while I was there. My only experience of being in a morgue with this many bodies was in the Gaza Strip during the Israeli siege last year. I wouldn't say it was the same level of horror as in Gaza, of course, but I did have some flashbacks.
In the Rabaa Adaweya morgue, volunteers were going through the pockets and wallets of the deceased in order to identify them. It was really intimate and emotional seeing these dead men's lives laid out like that. One man had some money, a cell phone and blue plastic comb. Another man only had a train ticket from the Nile Delta city of Damanhur and nothing else, and the volunteers started debating about where he had come from and how they might identify him. When possible, the volunteers would write the victim's name, age and home governorate on the sheet.
I left the sit-in around 11 am, haunted by some of the images I had seen that night. There are too many to mention, but the one that lingers is that of a young man in a white and red shirt grieving hysterically over his dead brother. He didn't look like stereotypical Muslim Brother. Clean-shaven and fashionably dressed, he seemed more like one of the young guys who hang around downtown.
The man was slumped against the wall, head in his hands, his friends crouched around him. He kept repeating: "We came together. We have to go home together."
