Camtasia srt file8/16/2023 ![]() I had to alter all commas to "full stops" "periods" depending on where you live :) in the vtt file so that it produced the correct format that we found iSpring likes.Ĥ. I use Camtasia to create all my videos and it has the capabilities to allow you to write the transcript of the voice over and save directly as a vtt file.ģ. As you say, a user would need to scroll too much and this would be pointless.Ģ. In this respect, we cannot use the Notes to generate the closed captions. ![]() We must have all the audio voice over for our slides in the Notes section of the ppt files so that these can be read in conjunction with the slide as a learner uses the course. My process is as follows for our standards:ġ. Kevin M I think I understand what you are looking for and I do believe that what we have achieved is the route you would need to take. If you are finding a way to do this and publish as a SCORM course - I would love to hear how you are doing that! It is just frustrating that other tools allow for proper closed captioning in video - and even PowerPoint now provides for it, but it seems to get lost when you publish the slides as a course. ![]() though even if a student had to click on the video to get this control, I could live with that as well. it sounds like maybe for you that works?) But what I would LOVE to see is the ability for iSpring to preserve this PowerPoint functionality of being able to include a VTT (or SRT) file and maybe even allow the CC button to work with the video player to toggle the Closed Captioning on and off on the video player. I do not need it to work to save as a video - as it is a video that I am inserting on to the slide to begin with, so I am not saving as a video (and have not tried that so not sure if that works or not. but it is clunky and puts all of the text up at once and a student would have to scroll and read all of this - and it does not correspond to the video. I know iSpring allows you to create their version of Closed Captioning - which essentially just has you copy all of the text from the video script to put in a box on the screen. When I save this as a SCORM course, however, I lose this capability. reading the VTT file and showing the appropriate text along with the video, as proper closed captioning does. PowerPoint allows you to add a VTT file and have the video you place on a slide toggle with and without closed captioning. Steve Searle Hi Steve, is this working for you when you publish as a SCORM course? This is what I am trying to accomplish. Would LOVE to see this work with controls in iSpring! Otherwise I have to make multiple versions of the video and make learning paths in the course to select English video, English video with CC, English video with Spanish CC or Spanish video with Spanish CC. ![]() Anyone else see this is a big benefit to e-learning publishing? I love the iSpring tool, but struggle with this one. Have asked about this multiple times the last couple of years, especially once PPT enabled this ability and it became a native function to the application. This would be a HUGE win for iSpring to enable this feature, that already works within PowerPoint, to work in an elearning course and resolves a major ADA compliance point. PowerPoint allows you to add closed captioning (CC) to a video file and this plays when you watch a video in the native PPT file (insert a video on a slide to play as part of your lesson) - but when you publish to create the elearning file via iSpring, you lose the closed captioning ability in the video.

Mets old timers day roster8/16/2023 The pattern has been copied intermittently by other sports but, due to the lack of day games (and total games, overall), it is not a regular feature of the season as it is in baseball. 345/41 HR/110 RBIs he accumulated when he won his first MVP, at 23, in 1954 exalt the greatest defensive play of them all, the one he made that fall, in the World Series against Cleveland, running down Vic Wertz’s fly ball in the deepest pocket of the Polo Grounds.Old-Timers' Day (or Old-Timers' Game) generally refers to a tradition in Major League Baseball of a team, especially the New York Yankees, devoting the early afternoon preceding a weekend late afternoon game to celebrate the baseball-related accomplishments of its former players who have since retired. 312/.387/.593 slash line he had a New York Giant toast the. It’s why Joan Whitney Payson fell in baseball love with him. It will hang forever next to 14, 17, 31, 36, 37, 41 and 42 because of what he meant to baseball New York, especially when he was young and he’d play stickball with the neighborhood kids in Harlem in his civvies after grinding nine innings in his uniform. Bettmann/CORBISīut 24, in truth, isn’t being taken out of circulation for Mays’ 491 plate appearances with the Mets. for the NY POST Mets manager Yogi Berra (L), pitcher Tug McGraw, and Willie Mays after the Mets won the second game of the 1973 World Series. SNY/Twitter The Mets retired Willie Mays’ No. ![]() Willie Mays’ number will be plastered at Citi Field. And in that wild Game 2 in Oakland? Mays’ two-out single in the 12th inning broke a 6-6 tie in a game the Mets would win 10-7. The Mets were only in the World Series because Mays drove in a key run in decisive Game 5 of the NLCS. But so did Oakland’s Joe Rudi (who was 27) and Reggie Jackson (also 27). Yes, Mays lost a ball in the sun in Game 2 of the 1973 World Series. Any aging ballplayer, any sport, the simile is always the same: Willie-Mays-falling-down-in-the-outfield. History has often been cruel to Mays’ final days as a Met. The number was in repose, but not retired. Rickey Henderson and Robinson Cano were given special dispensations when they became Mets. The backlash was immediate, and Torve was soon wearing 39. Someone named Kelvin Torve was somehow issued the number in 1990. Twenty-four disappeared for a while, but Payson’s wish was never granted. He hit the final 14 of his 660 lifetime homers as a Met.īut Payson died not long after Mays retired in 1973. Mets fans were delighted to have him back home. He was 41 by then, no longer a kid, but it didn’t matter. Famously, he hit a home run in his very first game as a Met - against the Giants, of all teams, on May 14, 1972.

And in May 1972, when it became clear the Giants would make Mays available, she pounced. ![]() It was her dream that Willie finish his career in New York. And though she lived and died with her Mets, Willie Mays remained her favorite. Yes, 24 was Willie Mays’ number, and no athlete in American sports history is more closely identified with that digit than the “Say Hey Kid.” But it was also an essential piece of the heart of a woman named Joan Whitney Payson, a New York Giants fan to her core and a member of the team’s board, the lone “no” vote when the time came to decide on whether the team should move to San Francisco.Ī few years later, Payson became the Mets’ charter owner, a fixture in her field box, the first woman to ever own a ballclub.

Moon pool subnautica8/15/2023 With full acceleration, a Seaglide can jump into the moonpool without using the ladders. If a moonpool is located next to another moonpool, a double connection is possible. This allows the player to freely exit and enter the Seabase outside their vehicle without needing to use a Hatch. The Moonpool also allows the player to access their base from the water via two Ladders on either end of the bottom entrance. The 'rear' of the building is where the rotating antenna is located on the roof: the 'front' of the building dictates the direction a vehicle will face when undocking. As one cannot rotate the Moonpool with the builder, the player will have to physically position themself so that the building 'faces' the direction they want it to. It should ideally be built far enough off the seafloor that a Seamoth will not hit the ground when it is deployed, but close enough that a Prawn Suit can easily reach the entrance with its thrusters. It is recommended to have an appropriate amount of space between the bottom entrance of the Moonpool and the sea floor. To reliably charge a vehicle, one Moonpool requires at least 150 Energy, equal to two Solar Panels. The rate of charging at a Moonpool is much faster than if one were to use a Power Cell Charger: this means that docking a Prawn Suit and swapping out its two Power Cells (which the player still has full access to) is superior to building a Power Cell Charger. Docked vehicles will be charged from the base's Energy, restoring an equivalent amount of Energy to the vehicle's Power Cells. It can, however, release vehicles without power. The Seabase that the Moonpool is attached to must have power (except in Creative Mode) in order to dock vehicles. These can be found in Wrecks or the Mushroom Forest. To unlock the Moonpool Blueprint, the player must scan two of its Fragments. ![]() ![]() They can also access a Prawn Suit's shoulder-mounted Power Cells, though they will have to jump into the water to access the Power Cell of a Seamoth. From here the player can access the vehicle's upgrade slots and any cargo storage, repair the vehicle, or re-enter the vehicle upon which it is automatically released back into the water. Upon entering the access area, robotic arms will reach down and grab the vehicle out of the water, securing it for charging while a short animation plays of Ryley getting out of the vehicle. The Moonpool can dock one vehicle at a time, and is used by approaching the underside of the structure. It must be placed below water to be useful. It functions as a dock and charging station for a Seamoth or Prawn Suit and is the only room where the Vehicle Upgrade Console can be placed. The Moonpool is a Seabase module which is constructed with the Habitat Builder. Las vegas flamingo cartoon8/15/2023 On opening night there was a traffic jam at the entrance to the parking lot, and, according to travel writer Roland Hill, when they opened the doors “it was like the rush of olden days on to the newly opened lands of the West.” Louis Wiener Jr., Siegel’s lawyer, recalled, “You couldn’t get in with a shoehorn. Second, for the special three-night grand opening - two dedicated to residents and then the third focused on the celebrities - the Flamingo was packed. Siegel image courtesy of UCLA Special Collections Hill image courtesy of Alamy George Jessel served as master of ceremonies and introduced Eleanor Parker, Charles Coburn, George Raft, Vivian Blaine, George Sanders, Lon McAllister and Sonny Tufts, not only to those in attendance at the Flamingo, but also to a nationwide radio broadcast that originated from Las Vegas station KENO.īenjamin “Bugsy” Siegel and Virginia Hill presided over the three grand openings, greeting celebrities and guests who lined up to enter the casino. While some of the promised big names such as William Holden, Lucille Ball and Ava Gardner did not appear, there were still recognizable Hollywood figures present on the evening of December 28. ![]() To be sure, the West Coast storms grounded flights, which kept Hollywood celebrities from participating in the first night’s activities, but that was not terribly important because the third night was the one dedicated to having celebrities. There was heavy rain in Southern California, and six inches of snow fell on Mount Charleston, but the weather bureau at McCarran Field reported no thunderstorm and only 0.12 inches of rain for Las Vegas. First, there were no powerful thunderstorms in Las Vegas. ![]() Similarly, in Las Vegas: A Desert Paradise (1986), Las Vegas historian Ralph Roske said the opening drew “small crowds.” One sees the failure in the 1974 HBO film Virginia Hill: Mistress of the Mob, which featured Harvey Keitel as Siegel, and in novels such as The Vegas Legacy (1983) by Ovid Demaris and Sin City (2002) by Harold Robbins. While certainly influential, Bugsy is not the only source to depict the Flamingo’s opening as a disaster. Warren Beatty, who plays Siegel, announces that the Flamingo will close the following day. In the film’s portrayal of the event, there are virtually no guests, and a powerful thunderstorm strikes, knocking out the power to the casino. That certainly applies to the general view of the opening of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas on December 26, 1946. Much of what Americans know about Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel comes from watching the 1991 film Bugsy. The Flamingo held its grand opening over three nights in December 1946, and, contrary of popular perception, big crowds showed up all three nights. Peter coyote voice8/15/2023 “So when you think about that, what are you going to trade that for? What are you going to giver half of that up for? Well, not any amount of money. “I dunno how long I’ll live, but this is probably my last vigorous decade,” he says. I can retire in five years I never have to work again.”Ĭoyote tried to cash in with Law & Order LA (2011-12) but that barely lasted a season. When that ended, he went back to being picky. “In my sixties I thought, ‘Oh, just give me a series. “I would never, at my age, commit to a series,” he says. He’s open, especially, to these limited run series. Three wives later, however, he can’t turn down every job. The 75 year old just doesn’t like to leave his small farm north of San Francisco, where he’s happy to tend to his fruit trees and his dogs. “Thought maybe it would give me a little gravity, I’d look like an adult, fool them a little longer.” “I grew this goatee seven years ago,” he said. Usually clean-shaven throughout his film career, Coyote was sporting a goatee at the time of the interview. “I can’t think of a more enjoyable film I’ve ever had in terms of the comradely of the crew, the cast, the lack of authoritarian bullshit on the part of the directors and the producers. I think it’s a charmed environment.” “You know, every actor should be lucky enough to film in Quebec,” he said. He praised Peter Stebbings ( Orphan Black) who directed all six episodes. Micheline Lanctot, Aussie/Canadian Aden Young, Camille Sullivan ( Shattered), Joanne Kelly and actor/musician Kevin Parent also star.Ĭoyote’s very American voice, heard to great effect on Ken Burns’ 18-hour epic The Vietnam War, held four reporters spellbound for over an hour as we sat around a table. ![]() Veteran actress, director and Concordia prof.

Whether you use Conveyor or another medical dictation software, it’s time to beat burnout and spend less time in the EHR. Conveyor even includes a Secure Memos feature to record a voice memo while traveling and send the dictation to the EHR when you return to a work computer. The app allows you to quickly pair your smartphone with any computer so that you can use your same preferred medical dictation software anywhere. One example is Mobius Conveyor, a leading iPhone medical dictation app that works with any EHR.Ĭonveyor is an obvious choice for physicians who use medical dictation and value flexibility. If you don’t already have a preferred speech recognition solution, consider using software that works on your mobile device. There’s a reason no one returns to typing from dictation, and that’s because speaking is natural – it’s human.” John Williams, M.D., F.A.C.S. I bet there isn’t one doctor who has used a dictation system like Dragon or Mobius and then stopped using it and returned to typing text as the modality for communicating. “It’s easier to not change because of resistance, but it’s worth the effort to flip that switch and integrate dictation because it’s something you’ll use forever. Here’s how one provider put it after switching from Dragon Medical to Mobius Conveyor for medical dictation: However, when considering your professional satisfaction and the financial return on your investment, switching to dictation is well worth the effort. Ĭhanging your documentation workflow indeed requires upfront cost and effort. Similarly, our calculations based on peer-reviewed research found that using medical speech-to-text software increases EHR documentation speed by 36%. ![]() Stanford researchers found that dictating with speech-to-text software is roughly three times faster than typing on a computer. Speech recognition software, on the other hand, is now faster and more accurate than ever. The average doctor types about 30 words per minute (WPM), or five times slower than most people speak. Writing the patient narrative in the EHR can be a significant time sink, especially for clinicians who aren’t fast typists. Replacing typing with mobile speech-recognition software is one popular solution for reducing EHR time. Since EHRs are the new normal, doctors need strategies to streamline clinical documentation and avoid burnout. Today, 53% of physicians say they are burnt out, and most providers attribute their professional dissatisfaction partly to the burden of bureaucratic tasks.īut, like it or not, digitization in healthcare is a one-way trend. Given this new reality, it’s no wonder many providers believe EHRs contribute to physician burnout. And according to one study, the average family doctor devotes 1.5 hours to the EHR each night after work. The result is that in 2023 the average physician spends nearly 10 hours weekly documenting patient visits in the EHR. EHR software is improving, but it still takes too long to check all the boxes and create notes that meet reporting and reimbursement requirements. Since EHRs became the norm, doctors have seen a significant increase in paperwork time, including clinical documentation. If you work long hours and feel bogged down by clinical notes, consider using mobile medical dictation to complete EHR documentation faster. Are you a busy physician frustrated by spending too much time in the EHR? Many providers have found that medical dictation software can substantially speed up clinical documentation.
