The two sides struggled to have an attacking edge in the early evening kick off, Posta moving to eight points and just two off 15th placed AFC Leopards.KCB meanwhile retained 12th spot with 12 points.In other fixtures, leaders Mathare United were held to a 1-1 draw by Sony Sugar in Awendo, same results posted by Tusker FC and Bandari in Ruaraka while Kariobangi Sharks bounced back with a 3-1 thumping of Ulinzi Stars at Kasarani.KCB’s Clinton Kisiavuki vies for the ball with Posta Rangers’ Collins Omondi during a Kenyan Premier League clash at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on February 7, 2019.

First, Marcelus Ingotsi was sent through on goal with a precise Joseph Mbugi pass from midfield, but defender Mike Kibwage, his former teammate at AFC Leopards raced back superbly to tackle before he pulled the trigger.Mang’oli had an effort from a freekick on the other end go inches wide from range, Posta keeper Eliud Emase caught flat out.Michael Mutinda also had a chance with a long-range shot, but it didn’t trouble the keeper.There wasn’t much to shout about in the second half and apart from the late chances, Jockins Atudo had a header from a Nairuka freekick cleared off the line by Kibwage.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000KCB defender Bethwel Warambo takes on Posta’s John MbugiMACHAKOS, Kenya, Feb 7 – Bottom side Posta Rangers played to a dull 0-0 draw with Kenya Commercial Bank at the Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos, head coach John Kamau failing to lift the mailmen off the bottom of the standings.Perhaps the only exciting spectacle of the match came in the 90th minute of the tie when John Nairuka’s venomous strike from inside the box came heavily against the crossbar while on the opposite end, a swiftly executed counter attack by the bankers wasn’t successful.

The young au pair forced to flee the home of a Co Donegal-based family has been inundated with offers of help from local people.Au pair Myriam SbaouniMyriam Sbaouni, 17, from France, was forced to climb out of the window of a Letterkenny house after just two days of arriving at her host family after claiming she was not being treated fairly.Donegal Daily advertised Myriam’s position as an au pair and we have received numerous kind offers from families across the county inviting her to stay with them over the summer months. The young law student from France was the THIRD au pair who has been forced to flee the house in recent months.Another young Australian woman and also an Italian woman were also forced to leave their positions.All the young women claimed they were given very little to eat and were forced to work for more than 70 hours for just €65 a week plus bed and boarding.Myriam Sbaouni fled the house after claims the family were not standing by an agreement set up between them and the au pair agency. “I was told I would be working six days instead of five and I got very little to eat. They also had cameras in the house.“Also I was told I would only have to do light housework but I got a list of all I had to do.“This is not what I thought I was going to be doing,” said the law student.Miriam revealed how she was given a video to watch when she arrived in the house explaining how to clean carpets and make beds.After just two days she realised she was being exploited for just €65 per week but expected to work up to 70 hours. She was given little to eat and given a roster which explained all the duties expected of her including cleaning bathrooms.She decided to leave but was forced to escape the house through a window when she found the front door of the family’s home locked and without a key.She fled to a nearby hostel run by a local family.Businesswoman Karen McGlinchey, whose family run the establishment, knew straight away that the same host family were involved. “My sister Adrienne, who runs the hostel, knew it was the same family as both the Italian and Australian girl who fled the same house had stayed here.“This poor girl came to us and told us the exact same story as the previous two girls of how she had been mistreated.“It is just not on in this day and age. People have rights and this kind of practice has to be exposed,” she said.Myriam turned to a local businessman whom she met when he had been collecting his own au pair from a bus station in Letterkenny this week.He waited with her and telephoned Myriam’s host family when they had not turned up.The businessman gave Myriam his email and two days later she contacted him to tell him of her plight.He has now come to her aid and he seeking to place her with another local family until the end of August when she plans to return to France and to continue her studies.“A man collected her and he appeared nice enough even though I thought it was a little strange that it turned up late and we had to telephone him to collect Myriam.“I’m very disappointed that this has happened but we will get her sorted.“I was shocked to hear that this was the third such au pair who had left the family.“The matter needs to be looked into by whoever the relevant authorities are in this matter,” said the businessman.Local Gardai are aware of the situation but insist the family are not breaking the law.On a previous occasion, they accompanied one of the au pairs to collect her personal belongings after she fled the house.An Italian au pair who fled the house recently also revealed that her toilet tissue had been rationed by the couple.She was also reprimanded by the woman for eating some crusts from some sandwiches she had made for the couple’s child.Aoife Smith, a spokeswoman for the Migrants Rights Centre of Ireland, said young women need to realise they do have rights.But she appealed to any young au pair who feels they are being exploited to come forward in confidence to speak to them.“We need to continue to highlight these cases and raise them at a national level so the Irish Government sits up and takes notice that these young women are being exploited.“We would appeal to this young woman and women like her to come forward in confidence and we will assist them in any way we can.”DONEGAL PUBLIC COME TO THE AID OF STRANDED AU PAIR was last modified: June 28th, 2014 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:au pairdonegalhost familyletterkennyMyriam Sbaouni

Is your machine struggling to play back media in DaVinci Resolve at the correct frame rate? If so, you may need to use optimized media.There may come a time when you’re editing on a sub-par laptop, or editing with RAW files, and you’ll see the frame rate counter in the top left corner of the viewer drop from green to red, letting you know that frames have been dropped — as Resolve cannot perform real-time playback. Of course, editing and reviewing media in this state is problematic, akin to recording sound without headphones. You could change the proxy mode to half or one-quarter resolution for smoother playback, or alternatively, if you’re unable to obtain real-time playback due to an extensive color grade and effects processing, you can hit the bypass grade button that will remove all grade features. If neither of these two options works, you will need to generate optimized media.Using the optimized media function is Resolve’s method of creating proxy files. There are a few steps to follow to get your media optimized; therefore, if you’re a new Resolve user or a new editor in general, follow the tips below, and you’ll be back with real-time playback in no time.Optimized Media SettingsYou could probably skip this step since Resolve’s default proxy setting will work fine to transcode most media types. However, if you wish to adjust or double-check the settings, you’ll find the adjustment properties by clicking the Project Settings cog in the right-hand corner, and then halfway down the master settings panel, you’ll find an Optimized Media and Render Cache area. If you’re a Mac user, and you want to change the proxy to the popular ProRes proxy, you would do that here.Once you have selected the appropriate settings for your media, return to the edit or the media page and in the media pool, find the clip or clips that you want to optimize, right-click, and hit “optimize media.” Depending on how many clips you have selected and the length and the format of the clip, you may have a few minutes to kill while Resolve generates the optimized media.When the optimization is complete, head to the playback menu and select “Use Optimized Media If Available.” When you press play in the timeline, you’ll now see that the clip plays back at its correct frame rate with no stuttering or dropped frames.After you’ve completed your edit, it isn’t necessary to uncheck the “Use Optimized Media If Available” setting for delivery; Resolve will automatically render the original file format. However, if you do wish to render the optimized media, you can find that checkbox in advanced settings on the video panel in the “deliver” page.There are two essential factors to remember when using Resolve’s optimized media function. The first is that you will not have control over where the proxy files are generated. The optimized media will be produced in the same location as where the cache files are written. Secondly, remember to delete the optimized media! You’re not creating incredibly compressed files that use next-to-no hard drive space. You’re creating media files that are more user-friendly, and if the original media clip is a RAW file, they will still be a substantial size.Need a video guide to help you through the process? In the video below, Casey Faris covers how to do this in Resolve 12.5. While some of the menus have slightly changed with the 14 and 15 updates, the process remains the same.

Greece dominated the first half and led with a powerful long shot by first-timer Nikos Karelis but host Finland equalized through Jarkko Hurme in European Championship qualifying on Oct. 11.That 1-1 draw in Helsinki, and a late equalizer by Hungary at Romania, left Northern Ireland alone at the top of Group F after a 2-0 home win against Faroe Islands.Greece, much improved after a 1-0 home loss against Romania in the opener, will host Northern Ireland on Oct. 14.Finland nearly took the lead in the second minute, but Tim Sparv steered the ball just wide of Alexander Ring’s post.Greece dominated most of the rest of the first half and took the lead in the 24th when Karelis took a pass from Andreas Samaris and did not hesitate to unleash a curving shot from just outside the area which found the left corner of Finland’s goal. Niki Maenpaa dived but could not stop Karelis from scoring in his senior Greece debut.Finland started the second half strongly and was rewarded with a 55th-minute equalizer. Substitute Kasper Hamalainen made a neat pass to Hurme, who volleyed past goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis.Both teams searched for a second goal, but created no major chances until the end. Greece coach Claudio Ranieri brought in a fresh attacking trio in the final minutes, to no avail.“We played well (except for) the first 15 minutes of the second half, when we defended too deep,” Ranieri said. “I took the risk of picking younger players (to start) and both Karelis and (Haris) Mavrias played very well.”Ranieri was assisted on the bench by veteran Greece player Giorgos Karagounis, who retired after the World Cup.“I’m not happy with the Greece goal but it was an excellent shot. Overall I have to be satisfied with a point,” Finland coach Mixu Paatelainen said.Northern Ireland scored its pair against the Faroe Islands inside the first 20 minutes, through Gareth McAuley and Kyle Lafferty. The Faroes’ one big chance to claw back a goal later in the first half was blocked by veteran goalie Roy Carroll, who saved Frodi Benjaminsen’s penalty.Earlier, Balazs Dzsudzsak scored in the 82nd to earn Hungary a 1-1 equalizer against host Romania in Bucharest, against the run of play. Raul Rusescu opened the scoring at the stroke of halftime.TweetPinShare0 Shares
