Cleanup song5/27/2023 Īlthough Lennon claimed that the lyrics apply to people in general, and not specifically to the Lennons, the song does reflect the reality of the Lennons cleaning up their diets and their finances, as well as their drug habits, and reports on what the previous five years away from recording meant to the Lennons. Lennon has described the song as "a piano lick, with the words added." After developing the piano lick and having the title, Lennon wrote the words around a conception of the Lennon's home, The Dakota, being metaphorically their Palace of Versailles. The two discussed the 1970s and how people were cleaning up their alcohol and drug habits, and the conversation ended with Douglas stating that "Well, it's cleanup time, right" and Lennon responding "It sure is." Lennon was then inspired to start playing a boogie on the piano, and wrote "Cleanup Time" in the process. It was inspired by a phone discussion Lennon had with Jack Douglas, who would become the producer of Double Fantasy, while Lennon was staying in Bermuda. ![]() Lennon wrote the song in Bermuda in June 1980. Like some other songs on Double Fantasy, including the hit single " (Just Like) Starting Over," one of the themes of "Cleanup Time" is rebirth, and another theme, as with " Watching the Wheels" is Lennon "coming to terms with his quiet years," during which Lennon was a househusband and Yoko Ono looked after the couple's business interests. ![]() ![]() It was also included on the compilation album Lennon. " Cleanup Time" is a song written by John Lennon released on his 1980 album Double Fantasy. Hitchens blind liberas5/27/2023 This has been clear from his outstanding career where integrity, honesty and loyalty were the foundation of his life. McCain has always said he puts America first, before his own individual success. Obama sees the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan as part of his political game. The significance for the future of our civilisation. Unfortunately, Obama and his fans fail to see the significance of this fight against Islamic extremism. “Bear this in mind next time you hear any easy talk about “the hunt for the real enemy” or any loose babble that suggests that we can only confront our foes in one place at a time.” Hitchens finishes his above-quoted conclusion with these words of warning for the left and Obama… I dare say the word of that would have spread to Afghanistan fast enough and, indeed, to other places where the enemy operates.” ![]() “ If we had left Iraq according to the timetable of the anti-war movement, the situation would be the precise reverse: The Iraqi people would now be excruciatingly tyrannized by the gloating sadists of al-Qaida, who could further boast of having inflicted a battlefield defeat on the United States. Considering Stepping Up Pace of Iraq Pullout/ Fall in Violence Cited/ More Troops Could Be Freed for Operations in Afghanistan,” then this can only be because al-Qaida in Iraq has been subjected to a battlefield defeat at our hands-a military defeat accompanied by a political humiliation in which its fanatics have been angrily repudiated by the very people they falsely claimed to be fighting for. “If it is true, as yesterday’s three-decker front-page headline in the New York Times had it, that “U.S. Maybe Obama should take note of the following before he provides more comfort to our foes with his plans… (Which is, of course, why Saddam threw, and now the Iranians throw, their support to the suicide-murderers.) ” Not only does this mean that every rogue in the region can reset his timeline until one of the world’s oldest and most intractable quarrels is settled, it also means that every rogue has an incentive to make certain that no such settlement can ever occur. (Actually, so feverish is my imagination that I can even think of one whose name also begins with I.) Would we be bound to say, in public and in advance, that the Western alliance couldn’t get around to confronting such a threat until it had Afghanistan well under control? This would be rather like the equivalent fallacy that nothing can be done in the region until there is a settlement of the Israel-Palestine dispute. I happen to disagree, but just for an experiment, let us imagine that some regime did exist or did arise that posed such a combination of threats. Most people appear now to believe that it is quite wrong to mention Saddam Hussein even in the same breath as either a) weapons of mass destruction or b) state-sponsored terrorism. “…any attempt to play off the two wars against each other is little more than a small-minded and zero-sum exercise. I like Hitchens’ argument against Obama’s and the left in general that two wars (in Afghanistan and Iraq) cannot be fought at once… (I have put some choice words in bold) It is Hitchens at his best and I only hope McCain and his team can stick to their guns on this issue and remind the American public of the serious consequences of Obama’s plan to run with our tails between our legs. Hitchens’ latest article, The War Between the Wars, at argues that we should be fighting Islamic extremism wherever it is in the world and that America and its allies are capable of taking on its enemies at more that one place at a time. ![]() It is refreshing to read journalists such as Christopher Hitchens continuing to provide an untainted, ‘un-anti-American” (clearly far removed from the daily offerings of many in the American media) view on the necessity of the war against Islamic extremism and the success of the troops. America was forced into taking up the fight against Islamic extremism and those who sponsored world-wide terror by the acts of her enemies – a fight that the United States should have begun many years earlier. Let us not forget, that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were not started on the whims of a war-president. The shortsightedness and lack of vision in people like Barack Obama and many in the media lead one to question their intelligence, their motives and their patriotism. The continued drive by many on the left and in the media to bring about an American retreat in Iraq has given rise to a whole gamut of emotions in me over the past few months, ranging from bewilderment and frustration to anger.

GIMP has several of the same tools as Photoshop. ![]() As an open-source program, GIMP is free to download for Mac, Windows, and Linux. While there are a handful of free Photoshop alternatives, the open-source program GNU Image Manipulation Program (often shortened to GIMP) comes closest to Photoshop’s advanced tools. Includes most basic and mid-level editing controls.The best free Photoshop alternative: GNU Image Manipulation Program Mark Coppock/Digital Trends Gimp Serif, Affinity’s parent company, also offers Affinity Designer and Publisher, but doesn’t have a RAW management program to compete with Lightroom. Likely the biggest perk for Photoshop is the easy integration with the RAW editor and organizer Adobe Lightroom, which is included in the subscription price when you sign up for the Photography Plan. Photoshop also has a more familiar interface for experienced editors, a plethora of tutorials, and plenty of plug-ins. Layers are more easily resized, and EXIF data can be edited, for starters. Photoshop, however, still has some perks over Affinity. Layers and masking are also a big part of Affinity. The two programs aren’t identical, but Affinity Photo still includes many of the more advanced tools, like photo merging for HDR composites, panoramas, and focus stacking. While Affinity Photo’s incremental updates are free, moving from version 1.0 to 2.0 will not be.Īs the newer program, Affinity Photo launched with a cleaner, more modern design - many users say that the program feels more like using a mobile app. The developers at Affinity Photo know that the program is competing directly with an industry-standard, so the company has worked to include all the major features that Photoshop is known for. That means Affinity users can pay once and be done, whereas Photoshop users will lose access to the program if they cancel their subscriptions - but they are also automatically kept up to date with the latest version without any additional upgrade fee. Right off the bat, however, there are clear differences between the programs - because while Photoshop costs $10 a month, Affinity Photo has a one-time fee of $50. But, even for photographers that don’t own an iPad, Affinity Photo has one of the longest lists of features of any Photoshop alternative.Īffinity Photo and Photoshop have a lot in common, including non-destructive layer editing and both RGB and CMYK color spaces. While the UI is re-designed for iPad, Affinity Photo has the same tools on the mobile app as it does on Windows and Mac. While Adobe may be slowly bringing the Photoshop iPad app up-to-speed with the desktop app, Affinity Photo already has a fully-fledged iPad version.

Windows moviemaker troubleshooting5/27/2023 When importing clips, sometimes you will get a variety of error messages. It will keep you from having to start over. When you import a clip or add effects, save your work. The lesson learned here is that you need to save your work early and often when working in this program. You may have to uninstall some of the less used effects since Movie Maker will not support more than that limit. Movie Maker has a tendency of shutting down when more than 100 of these effects are stored on your computer. If you use DirectShow and try to install new video transitions or effects from this software, Movie Maker may shut down. If this happens, you will have to restart Movie Maker. However, if virtual memory is the problem, try shutting down the rest of the program that you have open.Īnother reason that Movie Maker may freeze is that the file type you’re trying to import is not supported. If your PC is memory-constrained, you need to add more RAM. This may involve the amount of RAM in your system, or it may involve virtual memory. ![]() These problems often can arise when you don’t have enough memory. ![]() One of the most glaring and common problems is that Movie Maker has a tendency to shut down or error out when you add special effects like transitions or importing clips from other programs. ![]() It’s fun to make movies with and add effects with those movies, but Movie Maker may also have glitches with which you’ll need to contend. Windows Movie Maker is a nice little freebie for Windows users.

Now, what’s that? It means you need to present yourself as a person with disparate behavior while using TOR. To keep yourself completely hidden, you need to be pseudonymous. It will uncover your identity, and there will no point using the TOR hope you can understand. You must embed this point in your heart, do not post any personal information like name, address, birthday, credit card number while using TOR. Using your account on the open internet even once will be enough to get your IP address logged and eventually reveal your identity. Almost every site on the web now logs information like your login and logout time, your location, your IP address, and other details. If you use the TOR browser for checking your Facebook, Twitter, or email accounts, don’t ever use those accounts outside the TOR browser as it will expose your online identity to the website. The type of content available on the dark web isn’t appropriate for many users.Ģ. Also, Tor is the gateway to the dark web and criminal activities. This is one thing users should worry about. However, the popularity of the onion router has motivated hackers to create malware and make it look like the Tor browser. But in everyday usage, you shouldn’t be much concerned unless you’re some drug dealer or a high profile person trying to dodge surveillance systems. Regarding anonymity, one can’t live with the belief that security agencies can’t penetrate the network and track someone.

Step 2: run the de-duper software just in case it catches anything new. Step 1 (if possible): add a keyword ID to each image in each library (everything in library 01 has keyword "library 01", etc.) then merge all of the libraries to one huge library. Notes: iphoto assigns the first letter of the keyword to be its hotkey when you have the keywords box open. if you have more than that, you can sort by camera type, GPS location, whatever and make it a bit easier to add keywords or identify dupes. What can you guys suggest? posted by scrm to Computers & Internet (8 answers total) 25 users marked this as a favoriteīest answer: this assumes that your photos have at least the date created metadata. I have iPhoto Library Manager, which enables copying between iPhoto libraries but is quite slow, as well as Duplicate Annihilator (which didn't catch all my duplicates after several passes and tweaking the options). So far the only sorting of the photos that I have is with iPhoto's events - I don't really use ratings, faces, or geotagging. For photos I've already edited, I'd also like to preserve the originals (currently stored in iPhoto) for safety. The new structure needs to play nice with other software like Aperture / Photoshop as I will use these to work on the first group. I prefer to use iPhoto to organise the photos as I'm familiar with it, but I'm open to other options. 'Trash': Poor quality photos and all duplicates, in one place, that I can easily review and delete (~10% of the photos) 'To keep': The rest, living on my external drive (~80% of the photos)ģ.
