| Oppenheimer actors join strike |

Over fears that AI may make their jobs obsolete, actors from the SAG ( screen actors guild) have joined writers & others on strike. I don't like the sound of that response from the studios; it seems as though they can see a future in which they can make movies without needing to pay anyone.
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66196357
"The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) wants streaming giants to agree to a fairer split of profits and better working conditions.
Some 160,000 performers will stop work at midnight.
The stoppage means the vast majority of US film and TV productions will grind to a halt.
Stars Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt left the premiere of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer in London on Thursday night as the strike was declared.
The SAG walkout starts at midnight Los Angeles time (08:00 BST). Picketing will begin on Friday morning outside the California headquarters of Netflix, before moving on to Paramount, Warner Bros and Disney.
The union - officially known as the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA - also wants a guarantee that artificial intelligence (AI) and computer-generated faces and voices will not be used to replace actors.
The group representing the studios, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, slammed the decision.
It said "a strike is certainly not the outcome we hoped for as studios cannot operate without the performers that bring our TV shows and films to life".
"The union has regrettably chosen a path that will lead to financial hardship for countless thousands of people who depend on the industry," its statement added."

Why is there a $20 minimum amount when checking out?    Does it mean that if my total purchase is $10 , they will still charge me $20?
Just came across  yesterday when I was checking out.  
Your views, please.

| Employment court rules Glorivale women employees |

Rather than volunteers, which must be immensely annoying & inconvenient for those in charge. Naturally, they're going to appeal.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/4936...volunteers
"Six former Gloriavale women were employees working extremely hard under punishing conditions for years on end at the Christian community, in an experience that has left deep scars, the Employment Court has found.
Serenity Pilgrim, Anna Courage, Rose Standtrue, Crystal Loyal, Pearl Valor and Virginia Courage took Gloriavale's leaders to court arguing they lived in servitude working on the West Coast commune's domestic teams and were not community volunteers.
In a judgement released today, the Employment Court's Chief Judge Christina Inglis found the women were employees while working on the teams, after being primed for the job and taught from birth to submit to male leadership in all aspects of their lives.
"The evidence disclosed that none of the plaintiffs were given a choice about whether they worked on the teams or not. Broadly speaking, that decision had been assigned at birth, having been born female," the judgement said.
The women carried out work from a young age - around six - which incrementally increased as they got older, progressing to fulltime work on the teams as soon as they left school, around the age of 15.
The women were responsible for preparing food, cooking, cleaning and doing the laundry for Gloriavale's 600 members, under what they argued was an all-pervading regime of secular and religious control.
In a typical week in 2018, Judge Inglis noted the female workforce in the kitchen produced more than 11,000 meals, while laundry workers washed at least 17,000 items.
"The evidence clearly established that the work required to produce these outcomes was unrelenting, grinding, hard, and physically and psychologically demanding," she said.
She said the women did the rostered work they were directed to without complaint and there were well understood consequences if they failed to show up
Inglis said the consequences of not doing what was expected and "falling out of unity" were dire and well-known - "exclusion from the community, from all that was familiar, from family and friends, and into a world they know little about, were ill-equipped to navigate and had been taught to fear".

Hi, having trouble sending emails to gmail accounts from my outlook.com address. It has worked in the past to the same address.
Stupid thing is sending invoices out from Cashbook works.
Are there some easy to understand instructions for me to check why this is happening? I have a look online but got lost on the first accent!!!
Using Outlook 2016 ,I think it is.
Of course, no problem if I use my gmaill account.
Thanks.

| Video subtitles |

I have some musical videos that have had subtitles added purportedly to show the lyrics. Most, if not all, are so terrible. The person who does this has no concept of the English language and they are so wrong. Is there any program that can remove subtitles from a video?
