Level aa audio book8/3/2023 ![]() For example, “ switches to the User Information tab.” If it’s a more complicated or nuanced process, then more in-depth narration or description is needed. What will a user need to know from this training? If it’s pretty high level, then something like “Fill in the form” in the narration or “ fills out the form” in the description should be sufficient. What audio descriptions might you suggest?Īlicia Evans: As with everything, this depends on context. A blind user has no idea of this content. Question: How would you handle a video training that shows an online form and there is "data being entered quickly in various form fields? Currently, these videos have silence or a typing sound. So, there wouldn’t be any confusion here.Īudio Description for Video of Online Data Entry Generally speaking, I imagine that a blind user would not simultaneously read the transcript while viewing the video. According to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.1, “if all of the information in the video track is already provided in the audio track, no audio description is necessary.” Source: Understanding Success Criterion 1.2.5: Audio Description (Prerecorded) In a transcript, a long-ish description might go on longer than the scene and make it quite confusing.Īnthony Vasquez: Not all videos need to have an audio description. Question: In the video that offered audio description along with the captions, if you did not create the video, how would you provide audio description that stays in sync with the video since you can’t control the start and stop. Our team of experts, including your presenter Eric Eggert, answered these overflow questions for you! Do You Need Audio Description When You Have a Transcript?

Compress images in powerpoint 20138/3/2023 ![]() The first excellent substitute for compressing videos on PowerPoint is Vidmore Video Converter. On the other hand, here are some practical and accessible alternatives. If you need efficient and convenient methods to compress video files, we prepared great solutions you may use. ![]() However, it is not the best option for compressing video files.

You will choose between Full HD (1080p), HD(720p), and Standard (480p). By then, you can end the process by clicking this button.Īdditional Tip: Note that the options in 2019 and 365 are different from 20. Once the process is through, you will see the Close button at the bottom right corner of the window. Depending on the video's file size, the process may take a while. It will execute the operation and displays the status of the compression. If you wish to learn how to compress a video to low quality in PowerPoint, simply choose the last option.Īfter choosing a compression quality, a dialog box will automatically appear. Descriptions of each preset are indicated, so choose which among the options best fit your requirements. Options include Presentation Quality, Internet Quality, and Low Quality. Next, choose a video quality from the options available. Otherwise, this option will not appear in the Info tab. By the way, ensure the video is present in the presentation. Then, navigate to the File tab, go to the Info tab and select Compress Media in the Media Size and Performance section. Learn how to compress videos on PowerPoint by following the steps below.įirst, make sure that Microsoft PowerPoint is installed on your computer. Thus, if your videos or media files are huge in file size, you can use this presentation tool to help you shrink the media size of your videos.

How to Compress a Video in PowerPointīesides creating attractive visual aids, PowerPoint offers more unique features such as compressing videos. ![]() To fully understand the process, follow along with the guidelines below. Therefore, you won’t have a problem with file transmission over the internet. Fortunately, you can compress videos in PowerPoint to downsize videos. You might encounter problems when sending your PPT file by email or web. Therefore, the whole PPT file will result in a large file size. However, the video is in HD quality, taking up too much space.

Note that the default 11.33″ by 7.5″ is not sufficient for HD presentation output on most of the large monitors on the market.Microsoft PowerPoint is known for creating excellent and eye-catching visual aids. In case you want to use PowerPoint to create presentations that you might have to send to others via mail, then the compressing of images is a good thing to keep the total file size low.īut, when you are using PowerPoint for your high-quality information screens, or when you create advertising presentations in PowerPoint, then it is important that you use the best quality and that you use uncompressed images.Īlso read this article about the best resolution in PowerPoint. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily! It all depends on how we are using PowerPoint how do we present our presentation, and do we need to transport the presentation, maybe via mail. When you would use the shrunken image at full now, you will see enlarged pixels, because the enlargement is exploding the existing pixels. When you end up in the situation that a previously shrunken and saved image, needs to be slide filling again, then you get a problem! The surplus of pixel information before the save action, is now not available anymore in the presentation. PowerPoint is compressing pixels, or removing information from the inserted image. This confirms our impression that default options make PowerPoint compress images.

Latvia mxgp 20218/3/2023 ![]() ![]() Both Jeffrey Herlings and Antonio Cairoli were forced out of race two with injury and with that had to sit out the rest of the season, meanwhile the MX2 rider (at the time) Jorge Prado rode two solid races and took the overall victory. Taking a look at the Red Bull KTM Factory squad, the Latvian GP was somewhat eventful for the team. Before the Australian got hurt, he did give us a glimpse of what he is capable of in Great Britain, with a third-place finish in race one, so it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see him battle within the top five once again. His team-mate Mitch Evans will also be making a return to racing in Kegums, following months of rehab on his should injury, which he picked up in Valkenswaard. In the last year, Gajser has come on leaps and bounds when it comes to his sand riding and therefore could be in with the chance of repeating last year’s win and clinching yet another victory in Latvia his race wins from Matterley Basin and Valkenswaard go to prove that the Slovenian is perfectly cool with leading the field, even when he’s being chased down by Jeffrey Herlings and Antonio Cairoli. With all three riders on exactly 40 points each, it was Gajser’s race two victory that handed him the overall win. In 2019, Team HRC’s Tim Gajser was victorious in the MXGP class, though he was tied on points with second and third place finishers Romain Febvre and Arnaud Tonus. With plenty of fresh faces in the EMX250 and EMX Open classes, along with the MX2 and MXGP riders, the tripled header in Latvia is set to be an exciting event, that will no doubt see plenty of intense competition and battles throughout the three events. More local faces include Arnolds Snikers, as the only Latvian rider to take part, while Domantas Jazdauskas will make the trip from neighbouring Lithuania for the occasion also. The EMX Open class will see the likes of Miro Sihvonen, who has previously contested in the popular EMX250 class where he won the MXGP of Europe round back in 2017, along with the former 85cc Junior World Champion, Kim Savaste of 137 KTM Motorsport who will also line up in Kegums.Īlso making the trip to Latvia is PAR Homes RFX Husqvarna rider Nathan Dixon, along with Federico Tuani of Husqvarna Junior Racing Maddii and Greg Smets just to name a few. With the first three rounds taking place in Latvia, the championship is very much open and ready for the taking. The EMX Open class is a brand-new European Championship for 2020. Maddii Racing Husqvarna’s Mattia Guadagnini is also among the riders that will be looking for top results in Kegums, along with Thomas Sileika who will enter his home rounds with the support of his local fans. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory rider Kay de Wolf is also in with the chance of challenging in the top end of the field, following an impressive ride at his home GP. Meanwhile both Adamo and Gifting will be right there alongside, to challenge for the win. With his double race win in Valkenswaard, Boegh Damm was looking strong and will no doubt aim to carry this momentum in Latvia. This year the Latvian triple-header will also see the second, third and fourth rounds of the EMX250 Championship that is currently led by Bastian Boegh Damm of WZ Racing KTM, followed by Isak Gifting and Andrea Adamo of SM Action MX Migliori J1 Racing sitting third. Though the return of the MXGP series will see several changes, including an all-new timetable schedule, with the European support classes out on track for both their races on Saturday, meanwhile MXGP and MX2 riders will take to the track on Sunday for their Free/Timed Practice and races one and two. With its awesome track layout and wonderful on-site facilities, plus the amazing Latvian fans, Kegums has become a favourite among teams and riders, who look forward to the event every season. Since then, Kegums has put on some of the best MXGP racing, including the epic Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations in 2014, that saw Gautier Paulin, Dylan Ferrandis and Steven Frossard rise to yet another victory for Team France. The hard sand circuit of Motocenter «Zelta Zirgs», located just under 50km from the capital city of Riga, first hosted the Motocross World Championship race with the MX3 and 125cc championship in 2005.

Andy biersack young8/2/2023 ![]() You know how people have their self-awareness? Sometimes to a crippling level, where they know that people are watching them and that kind of makes them sheepish about stepping up and stepping out? Andy never had that. That was something that we used to always say that Andy had. He liked to sing from as far back as I can remember. Was Andy musically inclined at a young age? “ Every single day I would ask him, ‘What did you do today to make your dream come true?’ It might be something as simple as, ‘I drew a stage set design, it’s something I want to do for my band,’ or, ‘I drew costume ideas,’ or, ‘I learned how to play this song,’ or, ‘I put a flyer up at the music store looking for bandmates.’ It didn’t matter what it was but it was always going to be something he did every day working toward his dreams.” They had keyboards, they were good players, and they all came from some of the most classic punk bands of all-time, particularly The Damned and The Dead Boys. The look was much more theatrical than most of the punk rock bands. They were kind of an amalgam of different bands I liked. They had guys from The Damned-Brian James from The Damned was in that band. He heard the punk rock music that I had, he heard a lot of Pistol’s and bands like Lords of the New Church, which was kind of a punk supergroup. That was probably a lot of the music that he heard growing up. We came in the house and he kind of knew about Kiss, and then we sat down and watched the acoustic show and shortly after they made an announcement that they were going to put the makeup back on and they were going to go back out. The night that they showed that was Halloween night of 95, and Andy was a little trick or treater. I remember one Halloween, around the time he was starting to get more interested in music, Kiss came out with this acoustic performance that they did for MTV. So, we would play the Kiss albums for him. I had all kinds of collectables, and he discovered this box of baseball, football, and basketball cards, but there was also Kiss cards in there and he absolutely loved them. He found my Kiss trading cards when he was a little kid. When he was a kid, there was probably a lot of Kiss. What were some of the bands or some of the music playing in the house as Andy was growing up? There were a lot of bands in the punk movement that I really enjoyed. I liked the Irish band Stiff Little Fingers. Here in the United States you had The Dead Boys. Ultimately, I reached a certain age and that was about the time that punk rock, particularly the classic rock in both America and England, particularly England when you had bands like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and The Damned. The visual aesthetic is important and especially at a certain age when you start to discover rock magazines and you start to see pictures of these larger than life characters, that has a big impact on you. Kiss was a huge thing that just blew up to me, and I was like, “Oh my god! I’ve never seen anything like this.” I wouldn’t say they were similar to some of the other 70s bands musically, but visually they were completely different than anything that I had ever seen, and when you’re a kid, there are a lot of things that appeal to you. Originally, I was drawn to bands like Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones. What are some of the bands you grew up listening to? My path took me to rock ‘n’ roll and being in rock bands and punk bands. And that’s really what first got me into music. I used to go and watch him sing all the time, and I thought he was fantastic. ![]() My dad was a cantor, which was the lead singer in our church choir. I’m 56-years-old, so probably most of my interest in music came from singing at school or singing in the church choir. I was in choirs and as a natural progression, I started playing some instruments, too. I was one of those kids who loved to sing. The bands I liked when I was a kid were mostly hard rock bands. Andy also left a little surprise for his dad at the end of this interview. From growing up coached by his father in hockey, being told he can’t sing by his vocal teachers, where Andy found the drive, determination, and support that helped lead him to where he is today, and, of course, some incredible stories and amazing advice we can all take to heart. With a daily active online presence of support for Andy, we had to find out more about the history of Chris and Andy’s incredible father son bond. INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS BIERSACK BY JEREMY SAFFERįor Father’s Day we spoke with Black Veil Brides’ first tour manager, merch manager, lighting director, driver, roadie, and so much more… Andy’s father Chris Biersack.

Byron yawn pastor nashville8/2/2023 With those marital problems as a backdrop, Yawn worked himself into a leadership position with Patriot Forward, a not-for-profit group Ben Zobrist founded. Yawn encouraged Zobrist to give his wife some space, the lawsuit alleges. But I can't imagine what it feels like in this moment. Replied Byron Yawn: "I'm sure it's like getting knocked off your feet and into your head. I have owned every bit of my sin, but I will not own the abuse angle." "Can't be 2,000 miles away from her and kids while she's thinking that about me. ![]() "She used the words emotional, verbal and spiritual abuse. Julianna Zobrist twice had spoken with a divorce lawyer, Ben Zobrist told Byron Yawn. ![]() ![]() That was to be the start of Zobrist's fourth season with Chicago, for which he was 2016 World Series MVP. Reproduced in the Nashville lawsuit were text messages the men exchanged in February 2019 as Zobrist planned to join the Cubs in Arizona for spring training.

Zobrist also missed part of 2019 spring training, for what was called an excused absence. In May 2019, Julianna Zobrist filed in Chicago for divorce, but that petition was dismissed days later, according to Cook County Circuit Court records.Īlso that month, Ben Zobrist left the Cubs after he had played 26 games that season. Julianna Zobrist filed a counter-complaint in March 2020. Julianna Zobrist admitted the nature of the relationship, and that she lied to her husband about it, in responses to written requests for admission in a divorce proceeding.Īn internet court-records search revealed Ben Zobrist filed for divorce in May 2019 in Williamson County, Tenn., where he and his wife reside. The Zobrists then began marital counseling.īen Zobrist did not know until June 2020 that his wife and Byron Yawn had a sexual relationship, the lawsuit states. Robin Yawn notified Ben Zobrist, but she told him she believed her husband and his wife were engaged in an emotional relationship, not a physical one, the lawsuit states. "Rather than accepting blame for having torn her husband’s heart out by having an affair with their pastor, she expected him to be able to totally focus in an elite athletic job that required (100%) of his physical and mental energy," Rogers wrote in her court filing according to the Chicago Tribune.The Chicago Cubs' Ben Zobrist's wife, Julianna Zobrist, performs the national anthem before Game 4 of baseball's National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. Roger, Ben's attorney, called the claims "utterly absurd" and said that Julianna's affair with Yawn caused Ben to have "extreme mental distress." In court documents obtained by the Chicago Tribune, Julianna claimed that Ben is "guilty of failing to preserve marital assets" after taking a leave of absence to work on their issues.

![]() This MedPro model has a unique M shape that allows for multiple gripping positions. Features: Comfort handgrip, nylon mesh storage pouch, height adjustable.We like that it’s sturdy (and latex free) but still easy to install and disassemble. This model fits most home beds and has height-adjustable legs designed not to slip. It features a curved gripping surface and a convenient nylon mesh storage pocket. The Medline Bed Assist bar rail slides under the mattress and is fastened by a safety strap for an extra secure fit. All of our top picks come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty or a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. We gave preference to rails that are easy to install and come with a safety strap for extra security. To narrow our options, we looked at the average customer ratings and the total number of reviews. The ConsumerAffairs research team compared more than 50 bed rail models. Most models are steel or aluminum, and some manufacturers offer more modern finishes for a less clinical aesthetic. Style: Some types of side rails are smaller and less conspicuous than rails with crossbars and support legs.Travel bed rails for adults can weigh as little as 5 pounds and easily fit in most standard luggage. Pivoting handles are best when you need to lower the rail down temporarily (e.g., while making your bed). Some also have convenience pouches or pockets so you can conveniently store items nearby. Convenience: These days, some assist rails come with modern perks like LED lighting for bedside reading.We suggest looking for grip bars with foam padding, especially if you’re sensitive to the cold. ![]() Some bed rails have extra padding on the handles to make them more comfortable to grasp. Comfort: The whole point of a bed rail is to make it easier for you to get in and out of bed.Assist handles are typically sold individually - you should get two if you want rails on both sides of the bed. For additional support, look for a model with both handles and legs. Bed side rails for adults can come with or without legs. Support: Most models can accommodate between 250 and 400 pounds - be sure that the assist rail can support enough weight to be useful to you.Once you determine the specifics of what you need, look for a rail that provides the right level of support, comfort, convenience and style for your budget. If you’re not sure, find a model with adjustable rails so you can find the sweet spot. Consider the rail length and height before you make a purchase. Next, determine the size of the bed and what type of bed rail will fit. Some side rails are universally designed to fit any bed size or mattress format, and others are designed for a box spring and mattress. The most important one is whether the rail is compatible with your bed. When searching for a bed rail, there are several factors to consider. Those who have chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis or other conditions that cause dizziness or instability can benefit from some kind of bed side rail or support handle. However, bed side rails aren’t just for elderly adults. Other problems associated with aging - including incontinence, vision problems, dementia - elevate the risk of a fall, particularly around beds. Anyone can accidentally tumble out of bed, but a fall can be devastating to an older person's health. It also reduces the risk of rolling out once you’re on the mattress.īed rails are popular with seniors because fall-related injuries can be so severe. The railing provides a handle that you can hold on to for support while getting in and out of bed. It can be attached to the sides of the bed or installed beneath the mattress.
