OBS Top Plugins and Scripts

The COVID-19 Pandemic pushed me to look at other software streaming encoders outside of WireCast. The one that rose to the top was OBS(Open Broadcasting Software) as it is free and big plus is the developer community that contributes plugins and scripts that allow you to enhance your ZOOM, YouTube and Social Media Productions. Plugins and scripts add additional functionality not included in the core application. During COVID-19 one such plugin OBS Virtual Camera eventual found itself into the core application and so too WebSockets in OBS 28. Here are my Top  Plugins  Plugin Move - Adds nice move transitions  video and audio to your production NDI - Adds NewTeck NDI functionality to  Audio Monitor - works great with  or with VB-Cable. Downstream Keyer  - Adds to ability to add downstream key. Great for use with lower thirds or other overlays Advanced Scene Switcher  - Adds advance scene switching capability e.g. go a next scene when  RSTP Server (BETA) Media Controls Transition Table

LESSONS ON MARRIAGE

Source Unknown. Let me know so I can credit or link to it. 1. EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A WEAKNESS Only God has no weakness. Every rose flower has its own thorn. If you focus too much on your spouse’s weakness, you can’t get the best out of his/her strength. 2. EVERYONE YOU MARRY HAS A DARK HISTORY No one is an angel, therefore, avoid digging one’s past. What matters is the present life of your partner. Old things are passed away. Try to forgive and forget. The past can’t be changed. So focus on the present and the future! 3. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS IT’S OWN CHALLENGES Marriage is not bed of roses. Every shining marriage has gone through its own test of hot and excruciating fire. True love is proved in time of challenge. Fight for your marriage! Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in time of needs. Remember this is the vow you made on your wedding day! 4. EVERY MARRIAGE HAS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SUCCESS Don’t compare your marriage with anyone! We can never be equal, some will be f

Save Money on Utility Bills in Jamaica

A number of Jamaican utility companies offer costumers an opportunity to save. The method of doing this ss very simple. It is not all altruistic as these companies clearly have other reasons. All costumers have to do is pay their utility bills in full and on time, before the due date preferable, and save $250. The companies on-board include: JPSCO FLOW NWC $500 Savings To offset the losses to the company, those customers who pay late are charged late fee of $250. So in fact the benefit in reality for paying early is really $500, as if you had a bill for $1000, you would pay $750 versus $1250, if you are late. Now this might not look by much but if you have 3 bills paid monthly at the end of the year you could save as much as  $18,000 (3 bills x 12 months x $500 = $18,000). Digicel Jamaica is not on board for some reason and NWC has some initial challenges but those are behind us. There a few things to note.  When using payment agencies or online banking, try to ensure
