In 1997, he moved into a modest rooming house in the West Bronx, still believing the group had the talent to get back on top. Glover began to take on temporary jobs - security guard, maintenance, office work - which gave him flexibility for occasional gigs or short tours. “It was disappointing to stand on the sideline and watch people achieve,” he said.Īfter a last brief turn in New York’s spotlight in 1994, hosting a call-in radio show on Hot 97 that was canceled the next year, Mr. Glover spoke candidly about the pain of losing his star status. (She couldn’t do it in New York, she said, “because I would know all the people coming through.”) As her career waned, she went on to become a corrections officer in Texas. “There was never a Plan B for them,” said Sha-Rock. Mel was the only member who participated in the Furious Five’s highest charting hit, “ The Message” - it is his voice reciting the song’s familiar refrain: “Don’t push me ’cause I’m close to the edge / I’m trying not to lose my head.” ![]() Tension grew when the record label selected Melle Mel as a de facto frontman, alienating the others. Sugar Hill became the group’s managers, publishers, producers and recording company. What followed was music history and decades of litigation. “We kind of felt like we were walking in their footsteps,” he said. Glover feel like he was a member of the Motown groups he looked up to, one of the Temptations, maybe. The gloss of the studio and the authority of the engineers made Mr. Like the other performers on the label, they knew nothing about the music business. When Sugar Hill offered the group a contract in 1980, the rappers signed the papers on the trunk of a Lincoln Town Car at the Englewood, N.J., home of the label’s owners, Sylvia and Joe Robinson, according to Guy Todd Williams, better known as Rahiem, another member of the Furious Five. Major record companies saw the music as a fad, leaving it to independents: Enjoy, Sugar Hill, Tommy Boy, Tuff City. “It was strange: being a teenager, how did you just know that this is what you had to do to engage a crowd?”įrom another D.J.’s party, Creole picked up a phrase and made it a hip-hop fundamental: “Yes, yes, y’all.” “Every rhyme, every word made you feel like he was talking to you,” she said. Nathaniel became Kidd Creole, from the Elvis Presley movie “King Creole” Melvin became Melle Mel.Ĭreole was not as lyrically deft as the other group members, but he had a way of connecting with audiences, said MC Sha-Rock, a member of the Funky Four Plus 1, the Furious Five’s chief rivals in the early days.

Melt some cheese on top and slice on some fresh avocado, this soup is so good to eat with a spoon or tortilla chips. Prepare the soup and liquid according to the bag, and once you whisk the soup in the broth and it’s thoroughly mixed, add in your meat and corn, and bring to a low boil for 10 minutes. Meaty Taco SoupĪgain, I swapping out the water for beef broth, and adding frozen corn, a pound of leftover taco meat, cheese, and some fresh avocado to a regular bag of Bear Creek Tortilla soup mix.Ĭlick here to see how I season my delicious taco meat! Top with some bacon, some cheese, and a stray shrimp or two, and truly, you will scrape the sides of this bowl for every last drop. Bring it back to a low boil and simmer for 8 more minutes. Make the soup as instructed on the bag, subbing the water for broth, and after it simmers and thickens for about 10 minutes or so, toss in the shrimp and frozen corn. Each 32 oz box of broth is 4 cups, so 2 boxes of broth covers it, boom. The absolute best tip I can offer you is to sub out the required 8 cups of water for straight up broth. To this basic Bear Creek Creamy Potato I am adding 2 boxes of broth, some frozen corn, cheese, and some leftover shrimp sautéed in garlic from dinner last night. I mean, better right? Shrimp, Potato & Corn Chowder We’re going to change that bland bean tortilla soup into a Meaty Taco Soup, and finally, we’ll level up that Broccoli Cheese to a Broccoli, Cheese & Chicken soup with Garlic Croutons. I’m going to transform Bear Creek Creamy Potato soup into Shrimp, Potato and Corn Chowder. Can soup really taste good out of a bag with 8 cups of water? We’ve all seen the dry bags of soup in the canned soup aisle, and you’ve either taken the plunge, or decidedly took a hard pass. ![]() The only thing better than soup in cold weather is easy soup in cold weather, and today I am going to show you how to make store bought bagged soup taste ah-mazing.

Just as you can link to other Presentations, you can also link to other Google Sheets. When a user goes to the Q&A, it will look like the below (tip: this is unmoderated this means there is nothing to stop someone from anonymously posting whatever they want if this is a feature you want to use, you’ll want to police it often). If you no longer want to accept questions, just toggle On to Off. The link for the Q&A will appear copy that so you can display it on your presentation later. Next, click the “Start new” button if you are returning to the Q&A after you’ve turned it on, this button will change to “Continue.” You can enable Q&A by going into Present mode from your top menu, select “View” and “Present.”įrom Present mode, select the “Q & A” button if this menu is hidden, just move your mouse. As an example, you could have a digital sign that asks passerby’s trivia, and then have a link to where they can give their answer. When you publish your presentation to the web (from the top menu “File” and “Publish to the web”), there’s an option to Auto-advance slides change it to your desired time right before you publish the presentation (hint: you can change this later).Īn easy way to encourage feedback from people back is to host a Q&A. Having a video play automatically is useful, but if you are using Slides for digital signage, then you’ll need the slides to automatically advance as well. To do this, follow the same steps above (right-click the video, select “Video options”) when the menu appears, select “Autoplay when presenting.” Trimming a video is great, but if you are using Slides for your digital signage, then you’ll want to be able to start a video automatically. There is no Save button it’s automatically saved. To trim the video, add the start and end time that you want to use, and then close the box. To edit a videos link, right-click the video thumbnail image, and select “Video options.”įrom here, a new menu will come up with a few options. This can be helpful if a colleague gives you a ten-minute video, but there’s just a short clip that you want to use in your presentation. Slides is not a video editing suite by any stretch, but there is one very useful feature for editing a video: trimming a video’s length. To add a video, go to “Insert” in the top menu and “Video.” If you’re doing a live stream on your digital signage, then this is a feature you definitely want to take advantage of. You can insert YouTube videos and video files right into your Presentation. Importing slides is great if you have PowerPoint, but how do you import Keynote or other presentation software? The easiest way is to save your Keynote presentation as a PowerPoint presentation, and then import that presentation. Select “File” and “Import slides,” and then click the “Upload” tab. Importing a PowerPoint presentation to Slides is easy. To take advantage of this feature, do copy and paste as you normally would, but when you paste the slide, select “Link slides” from the option box that comes up. Linking the slide ensures that any changes carry over to your presentation. You probably already know you can copy and paste entire slides a commonly overlooked feature is linking slides from another presentation copying and pasting a slide from another presentation is helpful, but if that slide gets changed, it’s not updated in your presentation. To add it as a shared template, go to your Google Drive and select the arrow to the right of Google Slides, then select “From a template.”įinally, go through your presentations and add the one you want to submit. ![]() Once you have a Master slide, you can use your presentation to share with others in your organization. You can also add images (such as logos) to this slide, so you don’t have to insert them into each slide.Īnother way to change the Master slide is to go to any text or image in any of your slides, and right-click, then select “Add to them” and click “Master.” This will apply the style of the text or the placement of the image to every slide in the document. You will now see a master layout any style you put in the first slide will repeat in any additional slides. To use this feature, click on “Slide” from the top menu, and then click “Edit master.” With Google’s Master slide feature, you can design one style that stays consistent throughout the presentation to make sure your presentation stays uniformed. ![]() If you are working on a slide with several people then you are bound to have people using their own colors / fonts / themes.

Is the iPad as good a display as an actual monitor? The 9.7-inch display of the full-sized iPad certainly won't give you as much real estate as a 22-inch monitor. Using your iPad as a “second screen” is a great way to boost your productivity by adding in a little extra screen real estate. Personalize your experience with new colorways. But if you already have an iPad, it can pull double duty as a second monitor at your desk, or even with your laptop when you’re out and about.

Highly, highly recommend. Candice was an incredible manager on the night-of, and had even added some decor to match our wedding theme after hearing about it from Adelina - that was SO special to us. My father in law brought a little microphone and speaker setup for speeches, and my husband was able to plus his tablet playlist into the restaurant's speaker system for music throughout the night.Īdelina was phenomenal to work with in the planning process (and was super patient with us, too, as we explored menu options!). It's also BYOB, so you save a TON of money versus renting out a regular restaurant. Equipment and staff costs are also flat fee and super reasonable. So when my husband and I began to hunt for a rehearsal dinner location for our wedding, we were both delighted to find that Highland Bakery's Highland Ave location hosts evening dinners! If you hit a ~$2k food purchase minimum, the venue rental fee is waived (even with generous breakfast-for-dinner buffet for 65 people we were under that, so they added on a ton of pastries for desserts at our wedding so we'd hit it! Wonderful folks). I also love to grab brunch here on the weekends. We often have Highland Bakery cater events for my office, and their coffee carts at Georgia Tech are the only thing that got me through late night studios as a student. PS Highland Bakery Catering also made an amazing caramel cheese cake recently for my husbands birthday! DELICIOUS! ![]() We got so many compliments on the cupcakes - there were hardly any left and at one point there was a line for the cupcakes! I wish I had gotten a picture of that! We look forward to going back every year to get cupcakes for our anniversary! She was very responsive and had several good ideas - like matching cupcake liners and using pearls to make the tiers of cupcakes look more uniform, she even helped me select a solid reasonably priced cupcake stand on Etsy! I liked that the delivery fee was based on mileage - that was a great savings since we were getting married near the bakery. Though this lesbian-owned chain has now expanded all throughout the city.

When working in Camtasia, the default capture format is a. For reasons I just mentioned, my goal during editing is to display the captured video at 100% resolution within the 800×600 output window as much as possible, while minimizing panning and zooming. ![]() For example, when I’m outputting at 800×600, I still capture at 1024×768, since it’s impossible to show many applications running at lower resolutions. The next configuration item is your capture resolution, which can be different from your output target. At this resolution, you should be able to produce very good quality at a combined audio/video data rate of 400Kbps, which should be accessible to most corporate and home viewers. I assume that most target viewers have 1280×1024 resolution displays, so an output resolution of 1024×768 should be fine. I don’t like windows smaller than 800×600, since this usually requires either massive scaling to fit the application into the window-which makes screen text hard to read-or panning and zooming around the window to show program operation, which is distracting and can produce compression artifacts. For my projects, this has ranged from 800×600 to 1024×768, with a stop at 1024×713, which assumes 55 pixels for the Flash player toolbar and a total screen resolution of 1024×768. Whether you’re working for yourself or for a client, the first configuration item to nail down is the output resolution of the screencam. That’s the high-level view now let’s start with some project planning. In a follow-up article titled “Compressing Screencams,” I’ll analyze which codec does the best job with screencam and discuss the optimal encoding parameters. In this article, I’ll describe planning for, creating, and editing the screencam. After editing, I export a file from Premiere Pro using the Apple Animation codec to render to final format in On2 Flix Pro when producing Flash VP6 files, or Sorenson Squeeze or Rhozet Carbon Coder for H.264. In either case, I import the resulting file into Premiere Pro for editing and integrating with the narration. When capturing screencams in Windows, I use Camtasia Studio 5 on the Mac, I use Snapz Pro X. When working with voice-over talent, I complete the project with a scratch vocal in my own voice, get approvals from the client, and integrate the voice over as the last stage. ![]() I’ve tried recording and narrating at the same time, but typically can’t get the quality that I need for clients or even for my own projects. Briefly, I script everything beforehand and narrate separately, typically recording the audio with Adobe Audition (formerly available as part of the Adobe Production Studio suite, but now sold as a stand-alone application). To set up the rest of this article, I’ll start by describing my high-level workflow, then discuss each component in detail. There is no one right way to produce these tutorials, but the tools and procedures described here provide what I feel is a good blend of precision, production efficiency, and output quality. Over the last 2 years, I’ve created about 50 screencams for clients, websites such as and, and my own Critical Skills for Streaming Producers DVD. However, when you’re producing tutorials for a client, or otherwise seeking a more polished look and feel, you may have to take a different approach. ![]() In many cases, producing them can almost be a real-time event-you capture and narrate simultaneously, import the result into Camtasia Studio, add titles and such, export the finished file, and move on to the next project.

Comprehensive multilevel interventions targeting individual, societal, structural and policy level barriers are required to increase access to HIVservices among FSWs in Uganda. However, some FSWs reported positive experiences including interface with friendly providers and participated in formal and informal FSW groups, which supported them to access health services.ĭespite availability of services, FSWs faced major challenges in access to services. FSWs had major concerns with the quality of services especially discrimination and rude remarks from providers, denial or delay of services, and potential for breach of confidentiality. Policies such as partner testing and involvement at antenatal care, and using only one facility for antiretroviral drug refills hindered HIV service uptake and retention in care. Structural and policy level barriers included inconvenient hours of operation of the clinics, inflexible facility based distribution of condoms, interuptions in the supply of condoms and other commodities, and limited package of services with virtually no access to lubricants, HIV pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis, and support following client perpetrated violence. ![]() Individual level factors included limited awareness of some prevention services, fears, and misconceptions while societal stigma was prominent. ![]() However, access to HIV services was affected by several individual, societal, structural, and policy related barriers. Data were analysed using manifest content analysis, using Atlas.ti software, based on the socio-ecological model.įSWs indicated that HIV services were available and these included condoms, HIV testing and treatment, and management of sexually transmitted infections. Twenty-four focus group discussions were conducted with 190 FSWs in 12 districts. The cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted between October and December 2013. This study explored FSWs' perspectives of the barriers and opportunities to HIV service access in Uganda. HIV prevalence among female sex workers (FSWs) in high burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa varies between 24 and 72%, however their access to HIV services remains limited. Of course, if you’re not interested in all the nuts and bolts of setting up platforms, feel free to use the hosted free and paid versions of RocketChat.You can deploy from just about anywhere actually as long as your clients/users can access the IP/URL. We set it up behind OpenLiteSpeed as a reverse proxy and we are using CloudFlare to further bokeh our RC.

Multilingual support is also amazing plus on top of that, you can integrate with translation services from Google, Bing etc.I personally do not like chatting on website, let alone chatbots which are the most annoying thing since Steve Buscemi’s eyes pasted on much loved animated characters. As for chatbots, you can also create a livechat component on your website which then can be replied inside RC itself.It helps you focus on that discussion alone without getting into the pile of haystack of discussions that come in groups like “general” or “public chat”. Thread, like you see in the bottom right image, is superbly intuitive.

Most if not all functions of WhatsApp (including video/voice - later) can be done from RC as well.The UI is clean, it’s pleasing to the eyes and it’s extremely responsive and fast. Big team discussions can be clobbered sometimes that you get a fatigue, miss messages, ignore important ones too because of it.For example, we have a technical department, and for a project we wanted to focus on discussions for that project, so we created a discussion called “Maybank” within the main technical channel, and all related topics were neatly tucked in there ![]() This is especially nice to have for complex collaboration. Segregation of topics and segway off into a sub-discussions is one of my favorite feature.Invites are through URL or email, for example. And if you don’t have or don’t want any of it, off the box, you can just sign in with the database usernames/password and invite others to join as well, as an admin. Just about any kind of authentication commonly in used, can be used for RC as well. Users can be provisioned or integrated with just about any kind of OAUTH service, LDAP, AD, SAML and so on.Most people these days would just go with Docker as it’s kinda easy to setup and deploy in just about anywhere. So as we said earlier, we got it running on Debian (just like Ubuntu only faster and lighter). Here are other ways you can get it up and running for you. The way we did it was to set it up from scratch on Debian 9 operating system. There are many ways to get it up and running for your needs and it’s super easy. However, the mobile app wasn’t close to satisfactory. RocketChat (RC) however was the choice then for it’s amazingly fast UI and features. I’ve had experience with Mattermost and RocketChat long back. Of course there are a multitude of options out there, from the market leaders, Slack and Teams to open source ones like Mattermost, ZulipChat and RocketChat.īut we needed more flexibility and of course, cost was an important factor, not the most, as we are willing to pay for a good solution, but we think, if there is an open source as-good product, why not give that a try.
