In Alabama this week, hospital officials said they don't have enough ICU beds to care for all the patients who need one. The latest COVID surge is straining hospitals across the South and has left health care workers exhausted. We have the voices of three doctors in Alabama, which has among the lowest vaccination rates in the country.
ALI HASSOUN: This is Dr. Ali Hassoun. I'm an infectious disease specialist in Huntsville, Ala. I was supposed to be off for the last two days. But because of the surge in COVID-19, I have been working for almost three weeks now daily. The hospital's getting full. There's shortage of nurses. It's very hard to keep health care professional continue doing what they supposed to do with community is not doing their part.
CYNTHIA RENEE CROWDER-HICKS: Hi. This is Cynthia Renee Crowder-Hicks, and I'm one of the pulmonary and sleep medicine doctors here at Diagnostic and Medical Clinic. This fourth wave being preventable is challenging. The majority of our population is unvaccinated. And when you look at the patients, they're scared, and they're by themselves. They have no one to hold their hands or to talk to them. The more anxious they are, the less they're able to breathe. They all cry.
NANCY TOFIL: My name is Nancy Tofil, and I work primarily in the pediatric intensive care at Children's of Alabama. And ever since this delta variant became so prominent, we've seen a huge increase in the number of COVID patients. The other thing that seems to be different now is children are getting much more sick with COVID. Almost all of these families have some regret about not getting vaccinated.
HASSOUN: You feel sorry for those who believe this misinformation. But at the same time, you see patient so saying there is no COVID. We don't believe there's these problems, and we're not interested in vaccination.
CROWDER-HICKS: It just - it blows my mind that we have gotten to this point. Nobody feels that they're giving optimal care. We are overworked, and we are frustrated. You know, I'm tired of my 47-year-olds dying. That was my day today. It's terrible.
MARTINEZ: Mary Scott Hodgin of member station WBHM in Birmingham brings us those voices. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Five years ago, an innocent man began a life sentence for murdering his own son. Today he found out his son is still alive.
David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love—until one fateful night when David woke suddenly to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall.
Half a decade later, David's been wrongly accused and convicted of the murder, left to serve out his time in a maximum-security prison—a fate which, grieving and wracked with guilt, David didn't have the will to fight. The world has moved on without him. Then Cheryl's younger sister, Rachel, makes a surprise appearance during visiting hours bearing a strange photograph. It's a vacation shot of a bustling amusement park a friend shared with her, and in the background, just barely in frame, is a boy bearing an eerie resemblance to David's son. Even though it can't be, David just knows: Matthew is still alive.
David plans a harrowing escape, determined to achieve the impossible–save his son, clear his own name, and discover the real story of what happened. But with his life on the line and the FBI following his every move, can David evade capture long enough to reveal the shocking truth?

2012/Feb/29: The FreeBSD port has been merged in the Apache SVN repository. The Apache OpenOffice blog has a new entry from Maho@.
Older OpenOffice.org porting news can be found here.
Available ports (ports in the FreeBSD ports tree)
- Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (Development Version; upcoming 3.x)
- OpenOffice.org 3.3.0
- OpenOffice.org 3.4-Beta (DEPRECATED)
- OpenOffice.org 2.4.1(DEPRECATED)
- ooo-build, a minor fork of OpenOffice.org (BROKEN)
Obtaining older packages, language packs, and build logs (DEPRECATED)
- Current amd64 packages, language packs, and build logs
- Current i386 packages, language packs, and build logs
- All packages with language packs, and build logs (3.2.1 and prior)
- 3.3.0 for 8-STABLE (amd64/i386)
- 3.2.1 for 8-STABLE (amd64/i386)
- 3.2.0 for 8.0-STABLE (amd64/i386)
- 3.1.0 for 7.2-STABLE (amd64)

- 2.1 for 6.2-RC1 (amd64 and i386)
Supported platforms
- FreeBSD 5.3 and later, FreeBSD 6, FreeBSD 7, FreeBSD 8, FreeBSD 9: supported
Officially supported by email@example.com. If your build is broken, please let us know. Recommendation is FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE.
- FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE/i386 : NOT supported
We had serious implementation differences in rtld.c between FreeBSD and NetBSD/Linux/Solaris which had been producing very weird problems and a hard-to-track bug. It was fixed after 5.2.1-RELEASE and 4.11-RELEASE. Please see the commit log for details. We decided to mark this port as BROKEN for them, however, and a patch for rtld.c for 5-RELENG are available. This patch is totally unsupported so use it at your own risk. Feedback is welcome. This has reached to the end of life.
If you are 5.3-RELEASE or prior, you will need to do the following:% su Password: # fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/ooo/patch-rtld.c-releng5 # cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf ; patch < patch-rtld.c-releng5 # make ; make depend ; make install
- FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE/i386 : NOT supported
How to build
Basically, just typing make 'install' will work fine for standard installations. It will fetch everything you need from the Internet while you sit back and drink a cup of coffee or take a nap. However, compiling jdk is the most tedious part (i.e. fetching the java source code and enabling the linux binary compatibility mode required by the linux version of jdk for bootstrapping). I'll assume you have already installed JDK 1.6.0 (/usr/ports/java/jdk16) via ports in this tutorial. If you want to build a developer version or other snapshot versions of OOo, just cd to different directory; /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3-devel or /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3-devel.
- Building/installing OpenOffice.org (English version)
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 ; make % su Password: # make install
- Building/installing/packaging a localized language package (Japanese version for example)
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 ; make LOCALIZED_LANG=ja % su Password: # make LOCALIZED_LANG=ja install package
For other languages such that French, German, etc, please change LOCALIZED_LANG=XX; replacing XX with your language in ISO-code, etc) Please consult files/Makefile.localized for supported languages. - Building/installing/packaging a localized language package (Japanese version for example)
- Building a package
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 ; make % su Password: # make package
- Building sdk
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 ; make ; make sdk
- Building solver
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 ; make ; make solver
- Building the English version with package/sdk/solver
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % su Password: # make package package-rename solver sdk deinstall clean
- Building all localized language packages
The initial make may take 6 hours, however the next make will only take 5 minutes. The trick is TWEAK_L10N touches work/.configure_done* etc. This is due to limitations of ports framework.# cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 ; make ALL_LOCALIZED_LANGS=yes # make TWEAK_L10N=yes LOCALIZED_LANG=ja pre-everything # make LOCALIZED_LANG=ja WITH_CCACHE=yes package package-rename deinstall # make TWEAK_L10N=yes LOCALIZED_LANG=ar pre-everything # make LOCALIZED_LANG=ar WITH_CCACHE=yes package package-rename deinstall # make TWEAK_L10N=yes LOCALIZED_LANG=ca pre-everything # make LOCALIZED_LANG=ca WITH_CCACHE=yes package package-rename deinstall ...
- Renaming your OOo package, OOo_${VERSION}_${PLATFORM}_${ARCH}.t{bz|gz}; for example, renamed to OOo_3.0.0_FreeBSD70Intel_install_ja.tbz.
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % su Password: # make package package-rename
- Building with ccache (useful for 2nd builds and developers as it reduces the amount of time for a full build from 6 hours to 3 hours)
# make WITH_CCACHE=yes
- For releasing, do everything described above (build every localized package, sdk, solver, and rename).
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3/files % perl generate.pl > ../go.csh % su Password: # cd .. ; csh go.csh
- Building with debug symbols support
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITH_DEBUG
- Building without gnome VFS support
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITHOUT_GNOMEVFS
- Building with devel/icu from ports
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITH_SYSTEM_ICU
- Building without CUPS support
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITHOUT_CUPS
- Building with Qt/KDE vclplug
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITH_KDE
- Building with gpc instead of libart
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITH_GPC
- Building with evolution2 support
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make -DWITH_EVOLUTION2
- Building with full localized language support
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make LOCALIZED_LANG=alllangs
- Building select language support
% cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-3 % make LOCALIZED_LANG=xx

Porting tips
- Checking out the source from cvs
cvs -d:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs checkout -r DEV300_m5 OpenOffice3
cvs -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvs checkout -r cws_srx645_mozooo
- How to make a mozilla runtime : see #iz 11424 and #iz 28398 and use mozzip.sh for 1.0.
- How to make a patch
% dmake patch % dmake create_patch
- Using cwstools, esp. for how to take diff of cws and its anchor (please read PJ's email)
pavel@pavel:~/.ooo/ooo_SRC680_m96_src> cwsquery -m SRC680 -c macosx06 modules cwsquery -- version: 1.5 cwsquery: Master workspace 'SRC680', child workspace 'macosx06': cwsquery: Modules: jvmfwk scp2
Two modules are in macosx06cd scp2; cvs diff -r CWS_SRC680_MACOSX06_ANCHOR -r cws_src680_macosx06
See the diff. - cws-extract
cws-extract of ooo-build is very nice, a lot easier to obtain the diff explained above.
- cws-commit-patch
cws-commit-patch make it easier for us to commit patches to ooo cvs. You must have your issue numbers handy!

I had originally planned to make a maintenance and upgrade visit to my instrumentation in American Samoa in February 2016. There are lots of advantages to February: It's cold here in W3, the ARRL DX CW contest is in February, and the phenomenon I'm studying is most active during the equinoxes. I scheduled a 7-day trip that ended with the weekend of ARRL DX so I had the opportunity work through the weekend or play some radio if work went better than expected.
My flight had been booked out of Washington National (DCA) airport at 5:15 am Monday morning, which is the best possible time of day at the worst possible airport. A snowstorm of unknown magnitude was bearing down on the mid-Atlantic. And, around 4:00 pm on Sunday afternoon, I fell asleep on the couch. When I awoke 90 minutes later, it rapidly became clear that I had a nasty stomach flu. As my condition deteriorated further, I finally decided I didn't want to be fighting that for the next 24 hours on 767s on my way to a foreign place where I wasn't sure what kind of medical facilities I could access. I cancelled the trip and spent the next 24 hours in bed instead.
The trip was rescheduled for three weeks later in March and I managed to get this itinerary out of BWI, which is much more convenient. I loaded up my gear and went to the airport at 4:00 am. My upgrade had cleared so I didn't pay excess on my overweight and extra Pelican cases. Hurray for small victories! We sat at the end of the runway on the tarmac doing the preflight checks and the cabin lights started flickering intermittently. And we sat, and we sat. And, we returned to the gate and sat some more. I nervously refreshed the ETA on my phone finally watching the arrival in PHX slip past the departure to HNL. I deplaned.
The agents tried to convince me that I could "just take the flight to Honolulu tomorrow." With some effort, I communicated to them that the HNL-PPG (Sa'moa) leg of my journey only goes on Mondays and Fridays and that I would rather be stuck at home for a week rather than a week in Honolulu. So, I cancelled the trip for a second time. My bags went to PHX and were delivered to my house the next day. I rescheduled the trip for late April with a night in Honolulu on the outbound leg to avoid this bit of bad luck happening twice.
Two days before I left, my local contact called me on the phone to tell me that Tropical Cyclone Amos was bearing down on the island. Fortunately, the hurricane dumped some rain and brought some winds but passed to the north of island. The April trip went off without a hitch, although it was scheduled for four days (Monday night – Friday night) instead of the original seven. So, I was hustling to get my work done and find time for radio.
I was vaguely aware that KC0W is also in KH8, but given my historical bad luck with this particular visit, I didn't reach out to him. In fact, he's the one that contacted me once I arrived. We met for breakfast at the McDonald's in Tafuna one morning and had a nice long ragchew about radio and travel. Typical hams. I decided to focus on bands (especially 160) that Tom wasn't on given my limited time on the island.
Fortunately, I had access to this mobile phone tower, which I use for my wireless networking for instruments as well. So, I climbed up to check on the network equipment and put a pulley on the tower so I could raise and lower ham antennas safely after-hours when no one was around.
The tower is on the top of Cape Matatula, which sticks out of the northeast corner of Tutuila island. It's the bit of land jutting out in the middle of the photo below. If you open the full-size photo, you can see the tower just at the edge of a rather precipitous drop-off toward the rocky shore about 1/3 of the way from the right-hand side of the frame. Needless to say, it's a great QTH with 270 degrees of saltwater view as I've mentioned before. At sunrise and sunset, the middle and higher bands are open to EU, JA, and NA/SA all at once. The pileups are thrilling but very challenging.
Here's the radio setup from this trip: K2/100, KPA500, WKUSB, and TRLinux running under VirtualBox on my Mac. This worked OK, but the WKUSB would drop out every few QSOs and needed to be completely rebooted which meant that I had to unplug the USB cable and restart TRLinux. Obviously, this worked when I tested it at home but I was not stressing it like I was in the field. I'm not sure whether it was an RF issue or software/hardware. In any case, I will probably be installing another Windows VM like I've used previously.
I only ended up making about 400 QSOs on this trip, which is way down from the approximately 3000 QSOs I made over the past two trips. The combination of aggressive work schedule, glitchy keying, and poor 160-meter conditions (too late in the season, but I made a few guys happy), made it hard to get excited about operating a lot. Furthermore, my operating position was located in a room with an air compressor nearby that would kick on every few minutes. Even with the excellent Etymotic MC5 earbuds, it was still loud. Enough complaining! There will be at least one more trip out there under my present project and if KC0W hasn't worked everybody, I'll be there to give you all new counters again. I just uploaded the log to LoTW before I posted this blog entry. I have not responded to any direct QSL cards yet.

Welcome to the Body: AMAZING Carnival!
This post was written as a part of the Body: AMAZING Carnival co-hosted by Jennifer of True Confessions of a Real Mommy and Amy of Anktangle. Carnival participants were invited to write about how we learn to appreciate the ways our bodies grow and change. Our posts explain some incredible ways our bodies impress and amaze us.
Please read to the bottom to find a list of submissions from all of today's carnival participants.
Before the race, number pinned, ready to head out. |
I started Couch to 5K as a challenge to see if I was the only person in the world who could fail the gradual 9-week program.
During my first run for C25K (that is to say, 60 seconds of jogging alternating with 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes — and yet I managed only 10!), I was disappointed and vindicated to find that my lungs were heaving and I nearly collapsed on my way back home, feeling defeated. I went online and found the advice to go slower. So I did. Like, turtle with a walker slow. I made it through the rest of the program (eventually — there was an interruption in there called my pregnancy with Alrik). I was so proud of myself the first time I jogged half an hour without stopping! That was a huge accomplishment for pseudo-asthmatic little me.
Now, when I started Couch to 5K, one reason I chose the self-study program over joining a local beginner running class was that the local ones made you sign up for a 5K at the end, whereas C25K just suggested it. I knew I didn't want to run a race. I was content to be embarrassing myself in private, thankyouverymuch.
I kept hearing of other people running 5Ks and thinking, Yeah, all right, fine for you — but not for me. Nuh-uh.
In the spirit of "never say never," I found myself earlier this year wondering if I should maybe sign up for a 5K. Just as a lark — a joke! Without training! Or caring! Or looking at my time!
I floated the idea to Sam, sure he'd shoot it down. "Yeah, that sounds fun," he said. "Go for it." Traitor.
Here are my journaled thoughts on the process of signing up for and completing my first 5K race:
May 12
I was in a local restaurant today when I spotted a poster for a 5K walk/run. And the starting point (and finishing point, since it doubles back) is half a block from my door. Serendipity!Until I look at the date: May 20. And do some quick calculations. Um … that's a week from tomorrow. That would be stupid, right? To sign up for a race on a whim like that?
I look up online whether there are any other 5Ks coming up along our stretch of beach, and there is one … but not till August. Well, shoot — August seems like way too far away now that I know I could be out there running in a week!
Registration closes May 17. Hmm … should I?
May 13
My running was very spotty throughout my pregnancy and postpartum — as in, heavy the first trimester, then tapering off after some bleeding started, and then ending entirely until Alrik was several months old, at which time I took it up again, but sporadically.But a couple months ago I started in again more intentionally. I've been trying to run every other day. Which means, for me, that I go no more than every other day but sometimes every other other day. And occasionally other other other. Other. But I feel the lack now when I skip, and I actually want to run.
I just wrote that sentence. Me. I actually want to run. There have been times during my runs when I'm feeling worn out and start walking, and after a minute or so, it feels stultifying, and I have to start running again, like a relief. Me!
If my former gym teachers could only hear me now.
May 14
I decide to time myself on a run. I've always run for time, not distance, through C25K. As in, I run 25 minutes, or most recently, 40 minutes, but I have no idea how far I'm traveling in that time span.I download a GPS pedometer app on my phone and run for 40 minutes, along with a five-minute walking warmup and a matching cool-down. The mileage and time-per-mile it gives me are … um … embarrassing, to say the least.
Near humiliating.
Clearly, I should not be racing. This is stupid. The walkers are going to be pushing past me.
May 15
I'm still considering it. No one will laugh at me — right? I hope?It's so hot that I've been trying to buy new running gear for summer. But I keep having to return things because it turns out they're too small or unflattering. I'm now hoping no one makes fun of the fat runner. They don't do that, do they? At races?
I have this sudden impression of me being the last one across the line. Everyone will be cheering me on — but it will be pity cheers.
Like in gym class.
May 16
Registration closes tomorrow. I grab a credit card, fill in my information, and click send before I can think it through any more rationally.I'm a runner!
I almost registered myself as a walker, so my (lack of) speed would be less embarrassing. But, no, dang it, I'm doing this race because I've been running. Ok, shuffling. But I identify with the runners! I want to be one of them.
After I get my confirmation, it says to pick up my bib, timing chip, and complementary tech t-shirt the day before the race. I am giddy with this thought. I get a bib with a number on it! No matter how well or poorly I do at running, I get a bib with a number! On my chest! This is so cool! I never thought I'd be someone who had a number on her front.
May 17
Running as a mother is tough. I keep feeling like I'm inconveniencing all my boys when I want to jog. Mikko wants to come with me (but, yeah, that wouldn't work). Alrik wants to come with me for sure, but I don't have a jogging stroller. Sam is usually trying to get off to work or do something else that I have to cut into.It's actually kind of nice to have a race, because I can say, "Well, I have to keep up my training!"
I've been reading Run Like a Mother: How to Get Moving — and Not Lose Your Family, Job, or Sanity, and even though I'm far behind these ladies in terms of experience and skill, it's fun to read from others who mix mamahood with athletic endeavors.
May 18
I've been enjoying running with music. I don't know why I never tried that until recently. Oh, no, I do know — because it seems unsafe to have your ears plugged. But! Oh, it's so motivating. I've decided I don't want to race with headphones on, though (I want to be able to connect with the people around me and anyone cheering us on, plus hear any safety messages), which I hope doesn't throw my inspiration out the window.I'm having the panicky thoughts again — about all the sad things that could happen in this stupid race. Why did I sign up for this again?
May 19
I drive with Mikko to pick up my race kit. I worry that they'll look at my body type and refuse to hand it over, but they're not douchebags and this isn't a nightmare. It ends up being fun, because Mikko's in a good mood and excited about the idea of a race, and he offers to race me to the registration table and back again. So we run together, my little guy holding my hand.I know the kids can run or walk the 5K, too, and their registration is free, but I also know there's no way he'd hold up for the whole thing. I wonder if he can walk part of it — like, when I'm coming in to the finish, can he join me a little ways out? I can't think how to ask someone this, and anyway, Sam's been caviling on whether he'll even get up and out that early in the morning, with two (nocturnal) boys.
But I like that my running is inspiring Mikko to consider his own body's abilities, and I hope that someday we can run together some more!
May 20
It's race day. It's 8:41 a.m., and I've eaten breakfast and gotten dressed in my racing duds. I'd better stop writing and start running! Wish me luck.Pictures from the day:
Warming up for the race |
And we're off! They grouped us according to perceived speed. I started way back with the strollers in the jogging section just before the walkers. Never mind that most of the people behind me ended up passing me… |
My view. At one point a man probably in his 90s with knee braces passed me. I told myself it was because I'd slowed to take a picture. Mmm-hmm. |
The view behind me. All walkers. |
Since the race was up and back in a long loop, soon the faster people started passing me heading toward the finish line. I noticed a lot of parent-kid pairs and was impressed by these kids' speed and the parents' apparent encouragement and training. I wondered if Mikko and I would ever be that fast together. (Hint: no.) |
You can see the runners heading back are booking it, and the folks in front of me are leisurely strolling. Ah, well. |
Happy to have rounded the cones at the halfway point and now heading back toward the finish line! Take that, slowest walkers. |
Sam, Mikko, and Alrik on their way to meet me at the finish line. I had gotten tired of shirts being too small for me so ordered an extra-large, not considering it would be MEN's extra large. Since it's a non-shrinkable fabric, I declined to wear it. Mikko found it that morning and decided it was perfect for him. |
I was so happy to see their smiling faces as I neared the finish. Mikko ran into the race path to finish the final yards with me. |
10:32 a.m. I did it! I am on SUCH A HIGH right now.
I ran the whole way. I know it's no shame to intersperse walking with jogging, and I saw plenty of others doing it (who were in front of me — which just goes to prove my point that it's a healthy idea, ha ha), but my personal goal was to jog the entire distance. And I did!
Even when Mikko joined me toward the end, I kept it up by cheering him on. That felt really good!
My feet hurt!
I ate half a banana. I never eat bananas. They were handing them out after the race, and eating one felt like a very runner thing to do.
Just for your continued amusement: Mikko's race-day outfit. He also found my hat, if you can't tell. It was rather drizzly, so good call. After the race, we were about the only ones who stayed and enjoyed the street festival. |
Later in May
I'm feeling more and more embarrassed that I ran the race. I worry now that I was soiling the spirit of the 5K by being so slow. Is that possible?I keep flashing back to all the runners who passed me (and I do mean all the runners), and the fact that probably half the walkers passed me as well.
But … I feel better now that I was able to let the fact that I ran a 5K drop casually into a phone call with my parents. You should have heard their surprise and admiration! They know as well as anyone how not a runner I am.
Since then
My 5K experience was a mix of pride and fun on the one hand, and shame and inadequacy on the other, much like athletics have always been in my life! I know how hard it was for me to do what I did, but I have these stupid fears that all the people watching me didn't know and were judging me for jogging when a 5K is supposed to be a dash.But, here's what turned my thinking around on that score: Mikko's response. He didn't see me as a failure of a runner; he saw me as someone who won a race! (He really doesn't understand that I didn't place.)
And it made him want to run a race, which was awesome.
We signed up for the Seattle Kids Marathon, which we completed last week with the downtown 1.2-mile kids dash. During our training (25 "honor" miles in advance) and the race, he jogged a bit but mostly walked — or shuffled (like, seriously, astonishingly slowly! apparently it's genetic) — but he didn't feel any embarrassment or anxiety about it. I did, still. Clearly I have some hangups about proper race participation and outsiders judging!
But Mikko was satisfied with his accomplishment and proud of his "first-place" medal (ummm…yeah…first place! Woo! NB: All the participants got a medal). He was so excited at our victory lunch at the teriyaki restaurant when I read that his fortune cookie slip said, "You won first place in a race today!" (I seriously don't intend to lie to him; I just always underestimate his gullibility.) He dashed with me to show the proprietor how fitting his fortune was and show off his medal. The owner's English is a little limited, so I tried to indicate by facial expressions that he really just needed to nod and smile.
I'll do a followup post soon on the whole kids-race experience. I'll tell you now that the 25 long training miles were the impetus for asking my Facebook peeps how the heck you convince children to take long walks, and the guest-post response from Ariadne of Positive Parenting Connection.
So … I haven't run another 5K since my race, and I haven't even been doing much running at all lately, but now I know it's possible. And I'm so glad that Mikko now knows it's possible, too! If he grows up feeling at all like me — that he's an eternal outsider looking in on the jocks — I hope these experiences in his childhood remind him that his body can do anything he wants it to. He might never be the fastest, but he can race.
And that's what I keep telling myself. I wasn't some 5K superstar, but I was a race finisher! And I never, never, never thought I'd be able to say that about myself.
Have you run any races? Has your body ever accomplished something you never dreamed it could do?

The Biketour aims to provide opportunities for non-formal education. On the way, we actively try to share any skills we have with each other and with our hosts.
Creating a skill-sharing culture means to not always distribute tasks in the most efficient way. If people always sign up for the tasks that they are the most experienced in, things will get done very efficiently, but no one will have the chance to learn something new.
Sharing skills means to have the patience to do a task together with someone who is less experienced than you, and explaining them everything they need to know to be learn to do the task as well as you one day. It means signing up for tasks that you are not confident with, and trying to become confident at them by learning from other people.
A skill-sharing culture is an important step to work against hierarchies. If those who are already good at fixing bikes always fix everyone's bikes without explaining what they are doing, those who don't know how to fix bikes will more likely stay dependent on other people. If those who are experienced at reading maps always sign up for planning the route without giving the space for less experienced people to learn, it will always be a small group of people who decides where we go.
Gender and other socialised categories also play an important role in this: In our experience, men tend to be more experienced and confident at fixing bikes and reading maps than women, and women tend to be more experienced and confident at cooking for a large group of people and cleaning up the camp and packing the trailers in an organised and efficient way. Let's try to overcome these differences!
The best way to learn is to learn by doing things yourself. You will get much more from fixing your bike yourself with someone explaining you what to do than from someone fixing your bike explaining what they are doing. This is called the "hands-off approach".
One important step in learning is also to do things by yourself, without someone else telling you what to do. So if you see someone else working on something and you think your assistance might be useful, always ask them first if they want your help or if they would rather do it alone.
A good way to organise skill-sharing a bit more is a skill-sharing sheet of the following structure:
People who have enough knowledge to feel confident to organize a workshop alone can write their name all the way to the left. People who are interested but have no previous experience sign in on the right. People can write their names anywhere in between depending on their level of experience. This way, people who want to learn and people who want to teach can find each other.

Spoiler alert!!! Do not read this post if you haven't finished reading the entire Harry Potter series yet! The following information covers the stuff that happens after the end of the final book, and it comes directly from J.K. Rowling herself.
Ms. Rowling sat down with Meredith Vieira from the Today Show and talked about all the things she really wanted to share at the end of the book, but held off on because she thought it would actually make the book better.
From MSNBC:
Harry, Ron and Hermione
We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child.
As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head.
"Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department," Rowling said. "They are now the experts. It doesn't matter how old they are or what else they've done."
Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron's wife, is "pretty high up" in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in "Deathly Hallows."
"I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding," Rowling said.
Harry, Ron and Hermione don't join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years; they revolutionize it and the ministry evolves into a "really good place to be."
"They made a new world," Rowling said.
The wizarding naturalist
Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum.
"I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures" Rowling said. "She's a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is."
Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don't exist.
"But I do think that she's so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one's ever seen before," Rowling said.
Luna and Neville Longbottom?
It's possible Luna has also found love with another member of the D.A.
When she was first asked about the possibility of Luna hooking up with Neville Longbottom several years ago, Rowling's response was "Definitely not." But as time passed and she watched her characters mature, Rowling started to "feel a bit of a pull" between the unlikely pair.
Ultimately, Rowling left the question of their relationship open at the end of the book because doing otherwise "felt too neat."
Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom: "The damage is done."
There is no chance, however, that Neville's parents, who were tortured into madness by Bellatrix Lestrange, ever left St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies.
"I know people really wanted some hope for that, and I can quite see why because, in a way, what happens to Neville's parents is even worse than what happened to Harry's parents," Rowling said. "The damage that is done, in some cases with very dark magic, is done permanently."
Rowling said Neville finds happiness in his grandmother's acceptance of him as a gifted wizard and as the new herbology professor at Hogwarts.
The fate of Hogwarts
Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the school for witchcraft and wizardry is led by an entirely new headmaster ("McGonagall was really getting on a bit") as well as a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That position is now as safe as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort's death broke the jinx that kept a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year.
While Rowling didn't clarify whether Harry, Ron and Hermione ever return to school to finish their seventh year, she did say she could see Harry popping up every now and again to give the "odd talk" on Defense Against the Dark Arts.
More details to come?
Rowling said she may eventually reveal more details in a Harry Potter encyclopedia, but even then, it will never be enough to satisfy the most ardent of her fans.

The 3rd Garage48 Hardware & Arts has officially kicked off in the ultramodern Physics Institute of Tartu University. This is actually the second time that this building hosts Garage48 H&A, said Jaak Kikas, head of the Institute of Physics. He noted that last year they had been worried about the consequences of the event, but as we all can see now, there was enough left over for the second event.
This is the biggest H&A hackathon ever: this year the number of participants together with mentors and staff is around 200! The event is bringing together tech enthusiasts from all over the Baltics, and Denmark, Norway, Russia, Georgia, Columbia and the USA. Some returning, some here for the very first time. Garage is half-Latvian like Lotte cartoons," noted organizer Priit Salumaa about the turnout.
So what are they all doing here? They are engineers, designers, artists, team leads, marketers and dreamers. They are creating multinational teams that are going to give their everything in the next 48 hours to make ideas into working prototypes. They are simulating a start-up team, some even becoming one on the site.
So how are we going to change the world this week-end? Check out these 20 awesome teams:
1) Smart Bubble, presented by Max who hates to freeze his face off in winter. A bubble attached to the human head, uses heat from the body. Can integrate all kinds of extra features, also connected to a phone. Money comes from air filters + aroma.
2) Smart Health Monitor, presented by Jaanika, a fan of smart wearables. Stationary device for home use that integrates with and gathers data from different health monitors (blood pressure, blood sugar monitors etc.) and measures health condition in general.
3) E-Scape + Oculus ride. E-Scape, presented by Raul, an architect. Capsule with a treadmill and virtual reality inside. Goal is to encourage physical activity and thus improve health for people with desk jobs, it takes just 10 min in the capsule. For offices and school buildings.
Oculus ride, presented by Adam. A virtual reality module for the fitness bike that simulates real experience. Cycling rift. To make fitness biking a more real experience.
4) Mechanimo, presented by Oleg who wants to build interesting things, but has grown out of Legos. Modular construction kit that allows to build useful machines that can be used as prototypes, prosthetics, robotics. Possibility to assemble a machine in minutes, no coding necessary.
5) Track My Ride, presented by Kristofs form Latvia. An automated logbook, a solution for tracking how a company car is used, who is driving & all the stuff that usually you need to fill in a form whilst using a company car. Extra features like if the car drives into a lake, it sends a SMS to your boss: "You need to buy a new car."
6) Pilot, presented by Richards. A self-driving plug-in device for the car: sensors, an app, camera. Turns a regular car into a self-driving one.
7) Traffic Buzz, presented by Mart. A device that gathers traffic information and recycles it for usage, the outcome is seeing how traffic is behaving in real time. In ex. Advertisers can see how many people have seen their ad.
8) Infusion warmer, presented by Valter from the National Defence College. It's a small lightweight heater at the end of the infusion line, just before the cannula. The point is warming up the fluid that goes into the body to avoid hypothermia. For first responders, military medics and ambulance services who don't have a way to keep their fluids warm.
9) M-Sap Visualizer, presented by Egert, a device that processes sound into visuals. It can be integrated with stage lightning & other devices that create a unique show.
10) GuitarPi, presented by Jüri. Turn RasperryPi into guitar effects. RaspberryPi + Wolfson Audio Card + a nice box = an awesome guitar effect.

Buying a home is one of the largest, and most expensive, decisions you will ever make. You want to make sure that you have covered all your bases in order to avoid any costly mistakes. One of the best ways to avoid any potential pitfalls on the road to home ownership is to talk to someone who knows that road well, and no one knows it better than a realtor. Hiring a realtor means that you have an expert at the entire house buying process there to help you through each step, and means less stress and trouble for you. It may even help you save some money. Here are some of the things that a professional realtor can offer you.
When you find an established realtor, they will have knowledge of the area you are looking to buy in, and will provide you with market statistics to give you an idea of what a home like the one you are looking for will cost in the area you have chosen. A good realtor will spend time learning what your needs and wants are, and will use that information to look for homes that that match what you are looking for. Your sales representative will also let you know where you might need to compromise, and provide advice about what you can realistically afford. Realtors also provide buyers with information about comparable homes and what they have sold for in the area, giving you detailed information on trends that you can use both to educate your purchase and to plan for the eventual possibility of selling your home, thereby protecting your investment.
Your realtor's assistance goes beyond simply finding a home that you want to buy. A realtor's job also includes interacting with sellers and other realtors. Their network of contacts means they may know about houses that are going on the market before they are actually up for sale, which can provide a buyer with an advantage in the case of preparing an offer. Once you have chosen a house you want to buy, it is the realtor who will contact the seller and begin negotiations. Your realtor will work to get you the best price possible for the home, and will also handle all the necessary forms and paperwork involved in making an offer. Your realtor will also handle negotiations involving things like getting a home inspection done, and can recommend and connect you with other professionals like carpenters and electricians if any repairs or modifications need to be done to the house.
One of the most valuable things a realtor brings to the house-hunting process is experience. An experienced realtor knows every step of the process. They can take care of small but vital details you might otherwise miss, watch for potential problems with either the process or the home itself, and make sure all the necessary legal necessities are properly taken care of.
A good realtor brings a depth of home buying knowledge and experience that most people will never be able to match. Buying a home is a big investment, it is worth having every potential advantage, and that is something that a skilled realtor can provide. When you hire a buyer representative in most cases the seller pays the commission so the many services they provide are available at no cost to you, it's a win-win!

Scientists have confirmed for the first time that at least one variety of Asian carp is living and breeding in the Great Lakes watershed, where it threatens stocks of native fish.
A U.S. Geological Survey and Bowling Green State University study published Monday says Asian carp taken from the Sandusky River in Ohio show the fish are "the result of natural reproduction within the Lake Erie basin."
"It's bad news," USGS Duane Chapman told The Associated Press. "It would have been a lot easier to control these fish if they'd been limited in the number of places where they could spawn. This makes our job harder. It doesn't make it impossible, but it makes it harder."
According to a USGS statement:
"If grass carp become abundant in Lake Erie, they may threaten native fish populations and could be detrimental to ducks, geese or other large aquatic birds. Grass carp were brought to the U.S. to control aquatic plants in the 1960s. They eat large quantities of aquatic plants, which could degrade areas important for spawning and early development of native fish."
While other species of Asian carp are of more concern than the Grass carp, all Asian carp require similar conditions to successfully reproduce, scientists say.
The AP reports:
"Of greatest concern in the Great Lakes region are bighead and silver carp, prolific breeders that gobble huge amounts of plankton — tiny plants and animals that are vital to aquatic food chains. Scientists say if they gain a foothold in the lakes, they could spread widely and destabilize a fishing industry valued at $7 billion."

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been labeled a flip-flopper. And when it comes to abortion, the former governor of Massachusetts appears to have changed his position from being in favor of abortion rights to being opposed.
But now some people are asking if Romney ever supported abortion rights at all? Backers of abortion rights don't think so.
"In Massachusetts, when he was running for governor...a very liberal state, a state that was pro-choice, he was playing to the audience," says Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL Pro-Choice America. "And he made promises to the pro-choice community at that time that he did not keep," she said, including vetoing a bill that would have provided emergency contraceptives to victims of rape. "So the fact of the matter is he was not authentic in his position at that time."
During that 2002 run, Romney insisted in a debate, "I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose, and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard." Putting a point on it, he said, "I will not change any provisions of Massachusetts' pro-choice laws."
Eight years earlier, in 1994, when Romney unsuccessfully challenged the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, he had been even stronger on the issue: "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country; I have since the time that my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate," he said during that year's debate. "I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, that we should sustain and support it."
That prompted Kennedy to say, "I am pro-choice. My opponent is multiple choice."
But today's Romney is clearly anti-abortion. "I'd make sure that the progress that has been made to provide for life and to protect human life is not progress that would be reversed," he told former Arkansas governor and a former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Fox News in October. "My view is that the Supreme Court should reverse Roe v. Wade and send back to the states the responsibility for deciding whether they're going to have abortion legal in their state or not."
So what happened? According to Romney, he changed his mind about abortion in 2004, during a fight in Massachusetts over embryonic stem cell research.
In November of that year, he met with Harvard's Douglas Melton, a prominent embryonic stem cell researcher to discuss the issue.
"The story goes that he was put off by the cavalier way the medical researcher talked about disposing of excess frozen embryos," says Ron Scott, a journalist and distant cousin of the candidate who is the author of a new biography, Mitt Romney: An Inside Look at the Man and His Politics.
Scott says that meeting is what led Romney to change his mind on abortion. "I'm not sure of all the intricacies therein, but it was a moment for him apparently," he says.
Only there's a problem with Romney's story. The candidate has said repeatedly that Melton used the word "killing" to describe what happens to two-week old embryos in order to proceed with the research.
Melton has repeatedly denied ever using such language. "The record shows that the then governor and I have a distinctly different recollection of the meeting and our conversation," he wrote in an email to NPR.
Romney's campaign didn't respond to repeated requests for comment.
Whatever happened in that meeting, however, from that point on Romney became significantly more opposed to abortion.
Keenan says his 2005 veto of a bill to provide the so-called morning-after pill to rape victims made him even more anti-abortion than other governors who also ended up in this year's GOP presidential field.
"Pawlenty and Huntsman actually signed those bills," she said, referring to the former Minnesota and Utah governors Tim Pawlenty and Jon Huntsman. "So you can see that he is to the right (of them) and very anti-choice."
Romney biographer Scott says Romney never actually changed his personal position, simply his emphasis. "The truth of the matter is he personally had been pro-life throughout all of this," Scott says. "He simply had modified his position in 1994 and 2002" so that he was able to remain personally anti-abortion, "but...allow other people to make decisions for themselves."
But the question is if Romney now believes that abortion should truly be illegal, is it enough for the base of his party? "I believe he is a true convert," says Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List. "I'm a convert to this position as well, and we ought to always be in a position of welcoming people to our side, which I do."
Still, earlier this summer the group asked all the GOP candidates to sign a pledge supporting a series of positions. Romney was one of a handful who declined to sign, and with Herman Cain's recent signature, has become the only major holdout. Romney's campaign said at the time the pledge would limit who he could appoint to some key positions in his administration.
Dannenfelser says she's still disappointed. And she says Romney still has more work to do to convince doubters that he'll need to win the Republican nomination.
"Honestly anyone can wear the sticker that says 'pro-life,' " she says. "What really matters is the fililng out of the content of what that means. And your leadership is what will show that."

SOCKS and SOCKS proxies
The SOCKS proxy is working as of release 0.7.1. SOCKS 4/4a/5 are supported. Enable SOCKS by creating a SOCKS client tunnel in i2ptunnel. Both shared-clients and non-shared are supported. There is no SOCKS outproxy so it is of limited use.
As it says on the FAQ:
Many applications leak sensitive information that could identify you on the Internet. I2P only filters connection data, but if the program you intend to run sends this information as content, I2P has no way to protect your anonymity. For example, some mail applications will send the IP address of the machine they are running on to a mail server. There is no way for I2P to filter this, thus using I2P to 'socksify' existing applications is possible, but extremely dangerous.
And quoting from a 2005 email:
... there is a reason why human and others have both built and abandoned the SOCKS proxies. Forwarding arbitrary traffic is just plain unsafe, and it behooves us as developers of anonymity and security software to have the safety of our end users foremost in our minds.
Hoping that we can simply strap an arbitrary client on top of I2P without auditing both its behavior and its exposed protocols for security and anonymity is naive. Pretty much *every* application and protocol violates anonymity, unless it was designed for it specifically, and even then, most of those do too. That's the reality. End users are better served with systems designed for anonymity and security. Modifying existing systems to work in anonymous environments is no small feat, orders of magnitude more work that simply using the existing I2P APIs.
The SOCKS proxy supports standard address book names, but not Base64 destinations. Base32 hashes should work as of release 0.7. It supports outgoing connections only, i.e. an I2PTunnel Client. UDP support is stubbed out but not working yet. Outproxy selection by port number is stubbed out.

The World Conference of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) on Veterinary Education and the role of Veterinary Statutory Bodies is now taking place, from 4th to 6th December in Foz do Iguacu (Brazil). In these three days, more than 1,200 representatives of 178 countries will be discussing the main problems faced by the veterinary profession at the international level, primarily standardization of training and organization and functionality of official veterinary services.
For Antonio Arenas, ceiA3 researcher, professor at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Córdoba, OIE collaborator and who is taking part in the World Conference, the veterinary profession is extremely versatile and veterinarian duties highly depend on policies of each country, even each region, while teaching is globally in a critical stage'. While developed countries have high quality veterinary teaching programs, which are often under systematic evaluation of international organizations, developing countries lack uniformity and show great differences in graduates´knowledge and training by the end of their bachelors degrees. Recycling of graduates is difficult if not impossible. In this respect, OIE is making significant technical, human and financial efforts to achieve homogeneity in knowledge and structure in the profession globally'.
According to Prof. Arenas, 'the veterinary medicine profession requires a high basic quality education level as well as a long and well-organized learning and recycling system, since it deals with highly sensitive issues such as prevention of all aspects of human and animal health. We have assumed this for other health professions but not for veterinary medicine, however we must emphasize that the first line of human health prevention is monitored by the vet, not the physician, through controll of all products that enter the food chain".
'Although, in our country, official veterinary services are in the hands of civil servants', Arenas continues, 'it is increasingly common to leave many government services to private veterinarians. Indeed, they play an important role through their interaction with animals, owners and society, and cooperate with government departments in disease surveillance and certification of animals and animal products for trade or transportation. We should note that diseases begin in the animal-owner interface, so private veterinarians are the foremost experts on detecting, investigating and diagnosing disease. I think this is sufficient to justify continued and advanced training, especially with regards to early detection and proper control of notifiable diseases, organization of official services, appropriate communication skills and provisions on trade certification.
General Director of the OIE, Bernard Vallat (who will soon be awarded a Honorary Doctorate by the University of Cordoba), said 'society has high expectations for the veterinary profession, especially with regards to public health, animal welfare and food security issues; to help veterinary services to meet those expectations, member countries have assigned OIE the responsibility to make appropriate recommendations on veterinary teaching and official veterinary services'.
According to Vallat, 'world population will continue to grow in the coming years and will be reaching more than 10 billion people by 2050, most of them in developing countries. A high proportion will reach middle class and this will result in an increase in the number of meals per day and thus in a considerable demand for animal protein, especially milk and eggs, requiring a 50 % increase in production of these products. In addition, pathogens know no boundaries and are increasingly causing major emerging and reemerging diseases in all continents. The veterinary profession must be prepared for these challenges in all parts of the world'.
'These challenges of the veterinary profession', said Vallat, 'are indeed a global public good and have important goals such as poverty reduction, food certification and assurance, animal health and welfare promotion, public health protection or ensure food safety of production animals and pets'.
For OIE General Director, 'the quality of veterinary education, both at graduate and postgraduate levels, and its effective regulation by veterinary services are the pillars of good governance of National Veterinary Services. OIE has a mandate from its members to support improvement of veterinary education in order to ensure national veterinary services in both public and private sectors. In this context, OIE aims to help ensure that veterinarians (both public and private) have the skills to implement OIE standards for animal health and welfare. OIE also has an obligation to ensure excellence of the veterinary profession worldwide so that social expectations are met and the profession enjoys high standards and respect, both from public and government sectors'.
The conference will conclude on Friday and, according to its General Director, conclusions and recommendations reached will guide OIE to develop new initiatives and programs to support countries wishing to strengthen compliance with OIE standards and a more efficient veterinary profession.

Tim McGraw Welcomes 2018 With a Cliff Jump
Tim McGraw is clearly enjoying some time off in the tropics. On Dec. 29, he posted a photo on Instagram showing off a huge fish he apparently caught--and two days later, the super-active superstar put up a shot of himself leaping off a cliff into the ocean.
Whee! "Flying into 2018," the daredevil singer wrote, crediting the clever caption to his middle daughter, Maggie. That's one way to make a splash in the New Year!
McGraw and his wife, Faith Hill, have a sweet dream-escape home in the Bahamas, and apparently don't let it go to waste, as they seemed to be there fairly often during 2017. It's probable the pair took off to the tropical locale for their Christmas break as well.
It's a good thing that the couple has such a nice place to unwind, as they've been working quite hard of late. McGraw and Hill have been swept up in a busy holiday season, having helmed promotional efforts for their first-ever duets album, The Rest of Our Lives, which was released Nov. 17. A busy 2018 is hot on their heels as well: The pair have extended their joint Soul2Soul tour into the next year.

Last week it was my honour to do a guest post for Milk Maid Marian (a truly excellent and thoughtful blogger on the realities of dairy farming) on what ethical farming means to consumers. There is some great discussion in the comments on Marian's blog, and the post generated a lot of interest on the twitterz. Next thing I knew, @andrewfaith had suggested to @wendyharmer that she might like to cross post the piece on The Hoopla, which she did the very next morning. The comments there are also well worth the read.
All of this happened while I was at the inaugural Australasian Regional Food Networks and Cultures Conference in Kingscliff, and then immediately afterwards at the Annual Council Meeting of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations (CAPA), for whom I am no longer an office bearer as of 1 January 2012. Hence you'll see I haven't responded to any of the comments on the posts on Marian and Wendy's sites, which I aim to rectify soon.
Just to finish this little update, I've also just been appointed Company Secretary to the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia, where I look forward to using my years of higher ed advocacy and activism to step up my advocacy for sustainable and ethical farming and consumption practices.
Thank you, 2011, for the glorious life-changing opportunities, and here's looking towards 2012 for even brighter (and bigger) horizons!

Sync Issues – First Frame Shift (Premiere)
There seems to be a bug that's creating havoc in our projects.
Initially, the XML links up perfectly with all the material. But once we close the Premiere pro and reopen the programme, the timeline goes out of sync (both video and audio).
We suspect it's a "First Frame Shift" (notice how each cut creates a new "in point" at the head of the clip), and when it happens – the timeline and the project file become completely unusable.
2. We've tried doing the following, to no avail:
– Disabling "align timecode" on Premiere's relink/import settings
– Exporting an AAF from Tentacle sync (as opposed to exporting an XML file)
– Importing the XML (or AAF) into a NEW premiere project.
– Verifying this isn't a Mac or PC related issue, as this problem occurs on all machines
– Exporting an XML/AAF file using NO external sound (the problem will still occur, even if no external audio files are added)
– Using Premiere's "interpret footage" and modifying the frame rate. (One camera shoots at 50 fps, the other at 25 fps. But this has never been an issue for us)
– Trying to re-link the out-of-sync footage. Nothing helps
– Using Autokroma's "BRAW Studio Panel", and their "Timeline Correction" tools.
– The problematic media is stored on a local drive (RAID).
– Opening the XML file on Davinci Resolve, exporting a new XML, then sending that to Premiere.
3. Our setup/sync settings:
Main editing machine: iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)
Premiere version: 13.1.5
Two cameras: Panasonic EVA + Panasonic GH5
Audio: recorded externally using Tascam, and Tentacle Sync Device
We're sure there's a solution to this, but at the moment we're completely at a loss. I hope you'd be able to come to our rescue.
thanks for your answer!
I recorded in 50p on all three cameras.
The audio mixer also run on pal 25p. Audio mixers dont have an option to switch between 25p or 50p…. I think this can't be the reason because timecode is always 25- or 30p…
Now I found out that the failure is not happening if I create a nest sequenz before I start editing in premiere.
But now I have to start from the beginning…
