While voucher bills have routinely passed in the Senate, they have not gotten a floor vote in the House in recent years. Abbott has said he will call a fourth special session to try again on vouchers if necessary, and if that fails, said he will support pro-voucher challengers to incumbent Republicans who oppose them.įor the past several legislative sessions, the House has been against any voucher program that could siphon money from public schools. Whoops! There was an error and we couldn't process your subscription. The two camps have been meeting since the summer but so far have little to show for it. Abbott derided the plan as “insufficient” and said it differed from what his staff had negotiated with House Speaker Dade Phelan’s team. The lower chamber last week unveiled its compromise proposal, House Bill 1, which would enact a limited voucher program while also boosting spending on public education. “I’m comfortable we have enough like-minded rural Republicans, and urban Republicans, to stand against that in numbers sufficient to defeat it.” ![]() “I think there is still significant opposition to any school finance bill that includes an ESA,” said Rep. Greg Abbott and the Texas House are at an impasse over school vouchers, the governor’s top priority.ĭespite spending months trying to whip up support for education savings accounts, a voucher program that would allow families to use taxpayer money to send their children to private schools and pay for other educational expenses, Abbott so far has failed to break a coalition of Democrats and rural Republican House members who oppose the idea.

Multi-camera filming has been a staple of video production for more than 100 years for good reason. And the tight shots capture the emotion and allow one person to take center stage.The medium shots are ideal for interactions between multiple people.The wide shot can “establish” a setting and help the viewer orient themselves.This allows the broadcaster to switch in real-time between the different angles and views. A tight shot that shows the head and shoulders of each host individually.A medium shot that shows both hosts and their desk.A wide shot that shows the entire studio.News shows, for example, often use three cameras with the following multiple camera angles used: This setup also helps visually explain your narrative better to your audience with fewer words The scene tends to cut between multiple angles from different sources. Just look at any professional broadcast on TV or any film. Streaming with multiple cameras makes video content more exciting. Think about it, what would you find more visually appealing? A single camera recording from a single angle or a more diverse mix of wide-angle shots, bird’s eye views, and tight shots of when the broadcaster is speaking to the audience?

I'm sure the Adobe support person also knew it, but he was very confident that my problem was solved forever. So deep down I knew it wasn't actually the answer. It even sort of made sense how cleaning out all the gak would be "the fix", but there were still so many people having this same issue with brand new Macs. After doing that, Acrobat Pro DC worked like it was intended. It required me working with Adobe support to delete and completely remove everything ever touched by any Adobe software product that was installed on my Mac. You can probably find it if you're bored. I posted about it in this thread at some point in the past.

Having spoken with other macOS users (I work in I.T.), this is not merely an individual user issue but a broader problem plaguing Adobe Acrobat in general. Given the cost of this software, I would really appreciate some help from Adobe's support team, as well as an indication that they are planning on doing something about what is clearly an egregious lack of concern over glaring optimization issues. I am running the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and macOS Mojave and have never seen these issues alleviated by two years of updates. My computer is a relatively powerful: 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro connected to an eGPU with Radeon RX 580 and an LG 4K monitor (more than enough power to edit PDFs). I have tried deleting the prefernce files outlined in other topics, which did nothing to alleviate the issue at all. It appears to be very poorly optimized compared to other professional software titles which all run smoothly on macOS: Word, Excel, Pages, Numbers, etc. This happens no matter what the size of the PDF is from less than 1 MB to 10+ MB.

How I spent my day dreaming, planning how to say I love you. 'I still remember in the days when I was scared to touch you, The truth was I had a sweet tooth musically, and I was not convinced the broader student community was quite ready for full-on Luther Vandross. I thought it probably wise not to make too much reference to soul at this stage. I described my catholic tastes, my diverse musical enthusiasms, my willingness to take requests, my profound sense of social responsibility. Nervously, at the appointed slot on the agenda, I took to the floor and proclaimed my credentials for Juke Box Representative. ![]() We passed motions expressing our disapproval – of nuclear missiles, Margaret Thatcher and plastic lids on Marmite jars. We voted to boycott lectures and to have hooks placed on toilet doors. Consequently attendance was high, voices were loud and debate was vibrant. Held on a Sunday evening, their critical component was a barrel of free beer. The College Student Meetings were rumbustious affairs. All I had to do was put myself forward for election at the forthcoming Student Meeting. I could purge the repertoire of any tedious hippiedom and shallow pop bluster. If I were to acquire this responsibility, I could, by stealth, introduce more soulful grooves, more funky floor-fillers, more bass-heavy boogie. There was a student role, Juke Box Representative, which entailed managing the maintenance of the equipment and overseeing the replenishment of records. ![]() I had in mind a velvet revolution, a covert coup. Where were Maze and Anita Baker, Dennis Edwards and Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King? Why no D Train or Patrice Rushen?Īnita Baker, ' Giving You the Best That I Got ’ (Bricklebank / Kenric / Clarke / Bricklebank) More to the point, coming from Essex, the home of suburban soul, I felt the College Juke Box was somewhat lacking in contemporary R&B, funk and disco. (Let’s not stay together.) And I’d tentatively suggest that Billy Bragg’s ‘Between the Wars’ - a worthy political statement in the midst of the Miners’ Strike - was played a few more times than it merited musically. Someone kept programming the monotonous drone of ‘Riders on the Storm.’ (I’d happily have shown that tune the door.) Perhaps there was a little too much ‘80s Tina Turner. This is not to say that the College Juke Box was perfect.

We vied with each other to select the most apposite tunes. We nodded to the beat, sang along with the chorus, swayed to the rhythm. The College Juke Box kept us entertained on grim, wet winter’s evenings, when there was no money to spend and nothing to spend it on. It was an admirably robust, coin-operated, mechanical affair, and it boasted a compelling menu of classic 45s: ‘Ghost Town,’ ’Going Underground’ and ‘The Killing Moon’ ’Teenage Kicks’, ‘Tainted Love’ and ‘This Charming Man.’ There was a sprinkling of venerable obscurities like The Clash’s ‘Armagideon Time.’ And, when Chaka Khan’s ‘I Feel For You’ came on, we would all mimic the scratch, in time, as one. I was however very keen to become Pembroke College Juke Box Rep. I guess I’m wary of exposing myself to the court of public opinion, to the unforgiving judgement of the ballot box.

It is true that you can move your hoop around and work the stitches vertically, but for right handers, whenever you consider the line you are stitching as horizontal to the floor, you will notice that, if you’re working stem stitch, the direction of your line is going to be from left to right.
