![]() It also motivates them to seek help or advice in the pursuit of change. This enables them to make informed decisions about why they should or should not do something. It is better to help people understand the consequences of their actions. It can result in hiding recyclables in the trash, avoidance, or even increased resistance. GUILT BY ASSOCIATION: Trying to guilt or shame people into doing the right thing creates negative connotations. I believe the environmental movement is switching over from being powered by guilt to being powered by something much more positive, something much more dynamic, something much more capable of bringing about revolutionary change." …They're built on critical mass and often they're built on an element of alarm that galvanizes action. Successful movements are built on passion. Guilt is passive, it is inhibiting, it's defensive and the approach just simply doesn't work. … I don't think that any movement has ever made… much progress based on guilt. “For too long the environmental movement was powered by guilt. Greenwashing (misleading the public about environmental practices or environmental benefits) products, services or programs destroys the credibility of those that really are earth-friendly to the core.įrom Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Keynote Address at the April 2008 Yale Climate Change Conference ( see entire speech) But it does not change the fact that many plastic resins like polystyrene have virtually no recycling potential, and tons of plastic ends up on roadsides and beaches. SUPERFICIALITY: Recycling plastic beverage bottles may assuage a consumer’s guilt. Programs viewed as the flavor of the month are unlikely to be subscribed to. They lack a real understanding of the reason change is necessary. A decade from now, how many people will want to pay $14,000 on eBay for bubblegum spit out by Britney Spears? Another concern is that people who flock to fads rarely examine the merits of the bandwagon they are hopping on.

You can buy eco-toys, earth-friendly sustainably-harvested rubber potholders, skateboards made of recycled plastic, all-natural socks knitted from certified organic cotton, spudware spoons, and biodegradable bags for pet excrement.

![]() ![]() I'm assuming that by default some sony cameras record with 8 channels of audio in some sort of proprietary format that can cause issues within Premiere. Among the solutions/workarounds is to select the clip in the project/bin and control click and choose interpret and adjust the audio channel configuration. Unfortunately, Sony's audio formating of the some of the files sometimes creates issues making proxies that will attach and stay attached within Premiere. And for the most part I've been able to solve or workaround the issues.so far, but my clients nervous as we haven't actually started editing, just organizing and creating proxies. not a lot of fun as I'm dealing with a huge documentary project with many multicamera interviews with the angles shot on different cameras with different codecs and in some cases different pixel dimensions. They would be silly to not license your code from inclusion in their Adobe Audition product.Recently I've found serious intermittent unpredictable issues with mxf files. They need to be aware of Nero Digital and its excellent quality. Too cumbersome in my opinion.Īs many radio pros and audio engineers use Adobe Audition, this is a "must have" option (to have a working HE AAC enabled plug-in for Audition), if anyone wants m4a/mp4 files to become widely Yes, please do call Adobe, or better yet, go see them at their booth at the NAB (if it is still going on in Vegas). Developer So you can't change the options from withing the plug-in options menu that comes up at all? I have to go fire up Nero each time I want to change the bitrate encoding options/setting? That is not really a good solution, otherwise I could just fire up Nero each time I want to encode after I save the file out as a.Guess we'll have to wait until someone buys a copy and posts their results here. Also wanted to know if the new Adobe Audition 1.5 would have any mp4/m4a/aac support. I am looing for a good reliable third party plug-in and was hoping someone knew of one that supported HE AAC and AAC LC encoding and decoding. Imagine Technology doesn't seem to be marketing their plug-in anymore (which only saved AAC files by the way, i.e not in a mp4/m4a I have contacted Adobe about this, but no good answers. Or else why don't you license it to Adobe (Nero Digital) so they can include the code (plug-in) in every copy that Adobe sells of Audition. Why don't you guys at Nero put out a plug-in (should be rather easy basing it on the code John used) along with your Nero AAC DLLs. Does some really random things from my experience and can't be 100% relied upon. ![]() And the bad part it doesn't always tell you exactly which options it is using or else it "lies" and says it using certain bitrate encoding settings and then decides to use different settings of its choosing. Usually it saves with previously used settings or doesn't save at all. ![]() Yes, unfortunately that plug-in by John doesn't always recognize the settings if you change them. Once there is a good, quality Adobe Audition solution, many more people will likely start encoding to and using mp4/m4a. Plus I would like a plug-in with support from a quality company. I have tried John's compile using the Nero DLL's, but it was a bit buggy and not reliable in encoding. I am hoping some company will come out with a good AAC LC and HE AAC plugin for Adobe Audition/Cool Edit Pro soon. I just visited Adobe's Audition site and see that a new version of Adobe Audition Version 1.5 is coming out next month (end of May).I searched on their site for any information about what file formats the new Audition will be supporting, but all I could find were a description of all the other "new features".ĭoes anyone know if Adobe Audition will come with AAC/MP4/M4A file loading and saving support right out of the box? I would hate to pay an upgrade fee and not get mp4/m4a support.Īlso does anyone know if Imagine Technology has stopped development of their AAC Adobe Audition plug-in? It appears they got bought out by another company and the plug-in is no longer offered on their site. ![]() It could reflect something you feel is out of your control. ![]() Of course I researched dream interpretations and learned that dreaming of your car being stolen has many different meanings and scenarios. I think I woke up before there was any clear resolution, but I have a fleeting thought that my car WAS found and returned and that it wasn’t damaged, but I don’t recall any details about who stole it, or why. I always take the blame, it’s always my fault, somehow. I must have done something wrong and that’s an intense stressful trigger for me. That’s when I woke up, saturated in self-hatred and shame for whatever I had done to set the wheels in motion to make my car available to be stolen. I remember saying to the police, “But how will I get anywhere? I need my car.” In my dream state, I was overcome with an overwhelming feeling of shame and anxiety. ![]() When we got home, I called the police and reported my stolen vehicle.I don’t remember having a cell phone, so I had to wait for a landline. My memory is fuzzy about how we got home, but I remember using my scarf as a leash.Īs I reflect about the dream, after my heart rate subsided and I was no longer in panic mode, I had a faint recollection that I went there to purchase a ticket to Hawaii, but I’ve lost the rest of that mindthread. I think she was the best trained of all my kids, and stay was so ingrained in her memory that she could wait forever until I gave the signal that released her to come to me. My car had been stolen, I surmised, but whoever did it must have opened the back and let Sabrina out, which wasn’t easy, as she was an extremely protective Border. It had disappeared, gone, not where it should have been. I crouched down low and like I always had done, stretched out my arms and said, “Come, girl!” She ran at full speed, nearly knocking me over, and we proceeded to where I parked.īut the car was gone. When I was about a block away, to my surprise, Sabrina was sitting on the sidewalk, ears up, looking at me. I finished whatever business I had in the airport and walked back to where I parked my car. I left Sabrina in the car, which I had NEVER EVER done when she was alive, except for a couple of times when I quickly ran into the store or the post office, and only when it was cold outside, so she would be in no danger of becoming overheated. I couldn’t explain why Sab was there and alive when she’s been gone for decades, but our bond was strong and it was like old times when that beautiful black and white, bright-eyed little girl was with me, as she always was. I parked on the street, close to the airport, because I planned to walk there. (She died when Angel Boy was still a toddler). I wasn’t alone–one of my first-born fur children was with me, Sabrina Sue, my beloved Border Collie. In this dream, I had driven to the airport, not to immediately travel anywhere, but for another reason, although I don’t know what that was. I experienced an incredibly unsettling dream last night that I just can’t shake, one of those dreams that some other protective part of your brain thankfully forces you to wake up from a heart pounding, traumatizing, scary dream that you can’t quite figure out and you wish you could forget, but some of the details and the feelings of dread and fear remain firmly etched.

Great For Outdoor Activitiesīecause of the durability of stainless steel cups, they work well for outdoor activities like camping and picnics. They are a great addition to your kitchen. Stainless steel cups are durable, recyclable, reusable and environment-friendly. They can even be recycled at the end of their useful life without degradation. On the other hand, stainless steel glasses can be reused for years. If they are placed end-to-end, they could circle the entire planet. I particularly enjoy the rust-proof aspect of these cups.Įnvironment-Friendly, Reusable and Recyclableīillions of plastic cups and bottles end up in landfills yearly. You can wash them by hand or throw them in the dishwasher. They are considerably easy to wash, and they do not require careful handling, unlike glass cups. These things are resistant to stains, rust, and corrosion. Unlike plastic and glass, stainless steel is incredibly easy to clean. Stainless steel is nonreactive to acid, so you get a clean taste without smell or flavor. ![]() They do not need interior coatings or linings that eventually disintegrate.

Not surprisingly, more people are opting to buy stainless steel products. These controversies gave rise to consumer backlash. Safest Material to Hold Your DrinksĮvery now and then, controversies will arise regarding the toxic chemicals that can be found in plastic containers and aluminum bottles. The truth is when it comes to longevity - stainless steel cups beat them all. They also melt when exposed to extreme heat. Plastic can crack or disintegrate overuse and washing. These things also have synthetic interiors which eventually decay over time. Aluminum bottles may be tough, but they are susceptible to corrosion and leaks.

Some sets also include a 1/8-sized cup, which is also 2 tablespoons, or a 3/4-sized cup, which some bakers prefer to count as three individual 1/4 cups.Stainless steel cups may not seem as glamorous as beautifully crafted glass cups, but they offer more benefits. Your set of measuring cups should include these four essential cups: 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup. Using the correct type of measuring cup will result in increased accuracy. Liquid ingredient measuring cups are generally glass or clear plastic for easier viewing and are difficult to level off correctly when filled with dry ingredients. Keep in mind whether you plan to use a dishwasher as well, as some measuring cups are not dishwasher safe.ĭry ingredients are measured in cups that can be leveled off using a knife or bench scraper. If that’s the case, plastic or bamboo might be better since these materials are lighter and less likely to damage floors and countertops. ![]() Consider whether you’ll be using the measuring cups with children, who might throw or drop them more often. With Cogswell’s expert advice in mind, we put together this list of the best measuring cups, plus a few great cookie recipes to get you started.Ĭogswell prefers metal for its durability when it comes to measuring cups, but you should consider your specific needs. For liquids, a liquid measuring cup is easier and more precise than trying not to spill a full cup of cream or milk once measured. They should be easy to clean and resistant to breaking, melting, or warping if accidentally left on a hot surface. Though she mostly uses weight-based measurements and kitchen scales in professional settings, Cogswell recommends home bakers choose measuring cups made from a durable, heatproof material. Because of that, a good set of measuring cups (like measuring spoons) is an important element of any baker’s toolkit. In professional baking settings, where consistency is everything, being off by just a few grams can make or break any of the chef's savory or sweet recipes. Accuracy is essential when James Beard Award-winning pastry chef - and a Food & Wine Best New Chef in 2020 - Camille Cogswell is measuring dry ingredients. |
