Click the File menu and select Import. Click Video Frames to Layers. Select the video and click Load. If you have a high frame rate video (over 60 frames per second) then check “Limit to Every [x] frames” and type a number in place of ‘x’. This will select every xth frame which will make conversion faster and image size lower (and lower quality) by dividing frame rate by ‘x’. You would want a frame rate of around 15-30....
Ask your doctor ahead of time how many treatments you’ll need, as it varies from person to person. Most people undergo electrolysis treatment weekly or every other week until their hair is gone, which can take up to 18 months. Your appointments will usually last from as short as 15 minutes up to 1 hour. A single electrolysis appointment can range in cost from as low as $30 for a small area like your face or as high as $200 for a larger area like your legs....
“We have identified oxygen needs in each hospital, and set up oxygen task forces in each province,” Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin told a parliamentary health commission, the Associated Press reported. The country is facing a major oxygen scarcity as COVID-19 cases surge. Wednesday was Indonesia’s deadliest day since the start of the pandemic with 1,040 reported deaths. Hospitals are beyond capacity and in desperate need of more oxygen....
A new survey from the advocacy group Student Debt Crisis found that 9 in 10 borrowers are not prepared to start paying off their loans again on October 1. The organization surveyed more than 23,000 borrowers across the U.S. between June 17 and June 22. Student Debt Crisis also found that the loan pause has been critical to the financial well-being of 75 percent of respondents. In one of his first moves as president, Joe Biden extended loan forbearance for eight months....
With one of the nation’s highest teen-pregnancy rates, Baltimore and the state of Maryland have been leaders in sex-education and birth-control programs. The efforts have had some success. Since 1989, teenage pregnancies have steadily fallen; still, teenagers gave birth to nearly a quarter of the city’s babies last year. Baltimore provides contraceptive counseling at the school-based clinics and even dispenses birth-control pills and condoms. Only a handful of urban districts have such extensive programs-largely because of community opposition....
When it appeared in children and transfusion recipients, that was a turning point in public perception. Up until then it was entirely a gay epidemic. Now everyone could relate. Suddenly TV crews wanted interviews. I thought: “Where had these people been for the last year?” It seemed obvious this was a transmissable disease that spread through exchanges of bodily fluid. But condoms weren’t popular–these were very liberated sexual times....
The massacre was the stuff of American tabloids: SON SLAUGHTERS FAMILY IN SPAT OVER WEDDING. But the setting was the fabled city of Katmandu, and the alleged killer was heir to the throne of the world’s only Hindu kingdom. In a land where astrologers are thought to be able to divine the future, explanations for the murders began with accounts of star-crossed love. But there were also murmurs about drug use, international intrigue and a royal succession that had been prophesied many years ago....
Two days after Election night, Danforth and his wife, Sally, were on their way to the Caribbean. Enjoying Margaritas by the turquoise sea in Cancun, the Danforths expected the week to themselves, far from the electoral struggle of friends back home. But before they finished a second drink at La Maroma, a hostess told Danforth he had a call. It was Don Evans, the Bush campaign chairman. “We want you to represent us in a federal challenge to the constitutionality of the manual recount in Florida,” Evans said....
What is taking so long? By now it’s well known that the small Boulder, Colo., Police Department wasn’t equipped to handle a complex and high-profile murder case. But a NEWSWEEK investigation reveals that the police made errors surprising even for a department unfamiliar with finding a killer–and may have overlooked evidence supporting the possibility that an intruder killed JonBenet. What’s more, facts gathered on a tour inside the Ramsey house–and gleaned from the police report taken the day of the murder–indicate that much of the information leaked to the public about the case is simply wrong....
Through a computer error, the court believed I was the Michael W. Klein arrested on June 12 at 8:05 p.m., for allegedly consuming alcohol while driving. Because ““I’’ failed to appear in court, my summons had been ““forwarded for action’’ to my local police department. The notice advised: ““To avoid the embarrassment and inconvenience of your pending arrest, it is suggested that you report to the police department for the purpose of posting bail....

Schwab established the WEF in 1971 as a nonprofit foundation, eventually expanding its annual gatherings into intense events attended by CEOs and political leaders from around the world. The deep-voiced, German-speaking professor sees the gatherings as catalysts for change, an opportunity for corporate leaders to examine ways in which big business can make the world a better place. He spoke to NEWSWEEK’s Arlene Getz about his hopes for the 2004 meeting–and what he expects to be his favorite event....
The incredible Morris saga has got me to thinking about the concept and reality of consultantship itself in our day. It is true that down through history, from Homer’s seers to Rasputin to Morris himself, and including all manner of gurus, entrail readers and astrologists in between, there have been consequential figures employed more or less as consultants, persons thought to have special insights as both prophets and instructors in some realm....
The team hope the technique will bring animals used to grow human organs for transplantation a step closer, Spain’s El Pais newspaper reported. An international team of scientists working in China genetically modified the embryos of monkeys by turning off the genes which create organs, and then inserted human stem cells. Stem cells are special because they can become another type of cell in the body, such as a nerve of muscle cell....
Devotees will eschew Zagat in favor of Grimes’s guidance, and attentive readers will remember his more personal, lighthearted piece about a chicken that mysteriously turned up in his Queens backyard one morning and started laying eggs. He turned the experience into a 2002 book called “My Fine Feathered Friend”; he is also the author of 2001’s “Straight Up or on the Rocks: The Story of the American Cocktail” (both from North Point Press)....
The French, who are today the most disbelieving, played a special role in the 1962 crisis. After deciding to blockade Cuba, President Kennedy sent a special envoy, Dean Acheson, to France’s President Charles de Gaulle. Acheson offered to show him the photographs. De Gaulle refused. “This is mere evidence,” he said, “and great nations such as yours would not take a serious step if there were any doubt about evidence....
To help give you some insight into what it means to adapt your life to fibromyalgia, I’ve written about what my typical day is like. My lifestyle changes were made to deal with my specific symptoms and situations. They aren’t the right adaptations for everyone, but they can give you an idea of the types of changes you might be able to make. Here’s how I got through a typical February day....
The mystery starts with who followed the couple’s Mercedes, and how soon after its attempted escape from the Ritz. Dodi had dispatched his Mercedes 600 and a Range Rover from the hotel’s main entrance to serve as decoys. Yet paparazzi who had hounded the couple during their final hours in Paris saw through the ruse. Although security cameras show no photographers at the rear exit when Diana, Dodi and Rees-Jones slipped into the Mercedes S-280 with Henri Paul at the wheel, guards saw a man using a cell phone down the block....
LARMER: “Crouching Tiger” is the first film you’ve done on mainland China. How difficult was it to come to a completely new place–and attempt a new kind of film? LEE: The whole experience was part homecoming, part adventure. Even though I grew up in Taiwan, I had only been to China once before on a five-day visit. So this was my first real experience there. It was a dream. But when we had difficulties, I would grit my teeth and say, “Oh, what am I trying to prove?...
Beijing’s fears over the quality of conversation the next time around are probably warranted. For starters the deep divisions within the administration over North Korea policy will almost guarantee, says one official, that Kelly “will be kept on a tight leash.” Nor has the ongoing dialogue among the six parties to the talks–which include China, Japan, Russia, the United States and the two Koreas–yielded any breakthroughs. Since the August summit, diplomatic efforts have centered on the timing of the next meeting, not substantive differences....
