The Question by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
This is part 25 of a series of books on the Morland Dynasty
In 1898 – Morland Place, the ancient Yorkshire home of the Morland family, is being restored to it’s former glory by Teddy Morland, master of the house. With his sister Henrietta and her family filling the house with life, and with Henrietta’s daughter Lizzie giving birth to her first child, renewal and hope are everywhere.
But on the brink of the new century, Victorian England is under threat. Europe is dividing into armed camps, while at home, socialism and the suffragette movement challenge traditional values and hint at upheavals to come.
Conflict, too, rears its head. The Boers threaten to come to arms, and when diplomacy fails England has no choice but to go to war. Among the volunteers is Bertie, Teddy’s nephew and Henrietta’s much loved ‘extra son’. But under the burning South African sun, there is no knowing if Bertie will ever see his beloved Morland Place again.....

Not a very good butterfly photo but I had the wrong lens on for closeups. But this is the first of the Commas I've seen so I took the shot and I'll keep this one till I get a better capture.
If you would like to show my cartoon on your site, I will probably let you. Just ask me first. As long as you link back to lolzies.com, I'll be cool.

Update
This is a common and frustrating issue with scanner software like SilverFast Ai Studio 6, especially with older versions and certain scanner models. The core of the problem lies in the software's "auto frame detection" capabilities.
Here's a breakdown of why this might be happening and what you can do to troubleshoot:
I. Why SilverFast Scans the Holder Frame and Ejects the Carrier:
Failure of Frame Detection: SilverFast uses algorithms to identify the edges of the slides within the carrier. If it can't clearly distinguish the slide from the holder or the scanner's background, it will fail to register the slide as a scannable image. Instead, it might interpret the entire carrier as a single "frame" (or fail to find any valid frames) and then eject it.
Insufficient Contrast: If the edges of your slides are very similar in color or tone to the slide holder, the software can have trouble differentiating them. This is especially true for bright slide mounts against a white or light-colored holder.
Dust or Debris: Even small specks of dust or fibers on the scanner's glass, the slide carrier, or even the slides themselves can confuse the frame detection. These can be mistaken for edges or create irregularities that prevent proper recognition.
Misaligned Holder: While you might think the holder is perfectly placed, even a slight misalignment can cause the scanner's sensors to miss the crucial "registration holes" or reference points that SilverFast uses to orient itself and find the frames. This is a common issue with both original and third-party holders.
Transparency Unit Issues: For flatbed scanners that use a transparency unit in the lid, a loose cable or a malfunctioning unit can prevent the scanner from properly illuminating and detecting the slides. If the transparency mode isn't even available in SilverFast, this is a strong indicator.
Software Glitches/Bugs: SilverFast Ai Studio 6 is an older version, and software can have bugs, especially with newer operating systems or after updates. Sometimes, the program itself simply misinterprets data or gets stuck in a loop.
Corrupted Preferences: SilverFast stores user preferences, and sometimes these files can become corrupted, leading to erratic behavior.
Hardware Issues (Less Common for this specific symptom): While less likely to directly cause only frame scanning and ejection (you'd typically see other artifacts or complete scan failures), issues with the scanner's internal mechanics or sensors could contribute to inconsistent frame detection.
II. Troubleshooting Steps:
Clean Everything Thoroughly:
Scanner Glass: Use a lint-free cloth and a specialized glass cleaner (or a small amount of isopropyl alcohol) to thoroughly clean the scanner bed, especially the area where the slide holder sits.
Slide Holder: Clean the slide holder itself, paying attention to the edges and any "holes" or markings that the scanner might use for alignment.
Slides: Ensure your slides are free of dust and fingerprints. Use a soft brush or air blower.
Ensure Proper Holder Placement:
Align Carefully: Double-check the scanner's manual and SilverFast's documentation for the precise way to place the slide holder. Many scanners have alignment guides or markings.
Both Holders (if applicable): If your scanner uses two slide holders, ensure both are in place, even if you're only scanning from one. SilverFast sometimes expects both for proper frame detection.
Orientation: Make sure the holder is oriented correctly (e.g., markings facing the alignment bar).
Improve Contrast for Frame Detection:
Darker Background: If possible and safe for your scanner, try placing a dark, non-reflective material (like black paper) under the slide holder or directly around the slides within the holder to create more contrast for the scanner's light sensor. Be cautious not to block any calibration areas.
Check Transparency Unit (for flatbed scanners):
Cable Connection: Turn off both the scanner and the computer. Disconnect and reconnect the cable that connects the transparency unit (usually in the lid) to the main scanner body.
Lamp: Verify that the transparency unit's lamp is lighting up. (Be careful, it can be very bright).
Remove Cover: Make sure any protective cover over the transparency unit is removed, as its structure can interfere with frame finding.
SilverFast Settings and Software Management:
Reset Preferences: This is a crucial step for many SilverFast issues. Look for a "Service Dialogue" or "Delete Preference files" option within SilverFast's settings or launcher. If not available, you might need to manually delete the "LaserSoft Imaging" preference folder (locations vary by OS, but typically in AppData for Windows or Library/Preferences for Mac). Be aware this will reset all your custom settings.
Update SilverFast: While SilverFast Ai Studio 6 is older, check the LaserSoft Imaging website for any minor updates (patches) within that version. Even small updates can fix bugs.
Specific Frame Detection Option: Ensure you're using the correct "find frame" option for your specific slide holder (e.g., "35mm slide holder" instead of a general film search).
"Exact Preview" and "Unsharp Masking": Some users have reported that "Exact Preview" or "Unsharp Masking" can interfere with frame detection. Try disabling these features temporarily to see if it helps.
Reinstall SilverFast: As a last resort for software issues, a clean reinstallation can sometimes resolve deep-seated problems. Uninstall completely, then reinstall.
Check for Driver Issues:
Scanner Drivers: Ensure your scanner's drivers are up to date and compatible with your operating system. Sometimes, conflicting drivers (e.g., if you also have the scanner manufacturer's own software installed) can cause problems. Consider reinstalling scanner drivers as well.
Contact SilverFast Support:
If all else fails, LaserSoft Imaging (the creators of SilverFast) has a support forum and direct support options. They are usually very knowledgeable about their software and specific scanner integrations. Provide them with detailed information about your scanner model, operating system, and the exact steps you've taken.
Given that SilverFast Ai Studio 6 is an older version, compatibility with modern operating systems can be a significant factor. If you're running it on a very new OS, it might be an uphill battle, and upgrading to a newer SilverFast version (if your scanner is supported) might be necessary.

What is Mindfulness?
In an answer to a question, Miteiya explains the art of “Mindfulness”. Miteiya says that this is the core teaching of “Abhisamayalankara” and reminds the viewers of his previous discourse on 4 Greek brothers. Miteiya reiterates the same teaching by quoting Prometheus, Epimetheus, Menoetius and Atlas.
Miteiya also quotes a myth from Mahabharata, wherein during the battle; Dronacharya was asked to capture Yudhisthir and not kill him. From psychological perspective, it simply shows that Mind would be actively working to capture the “Internal Gaze”. With the background of these two myths, Miteiya explains the teaching of Abhisamayalankara.
Miteiya says that there are 4 steps in this exercise. The first step is to acquire requisite knowledge of all the scriptures. The second step is to understand all paths (Chakras). The third step is to sequence them in proper alignment. And the fourth and final step is to enlighten and awaken all the chakras along with goal in the single instantenous moment. This process is quite similar to Vast Form of Krishna and it leads to Sahasara Chakra.
Insurance Questions, low cost term life insurance, cheap term life insurance, cheapest life insurance
The average person wants the cheap term life insurance and they want all the coverage they can get at that price; however, if you do not understand the differences in policy coverage that you may be getting the short end of the stick. Insurance can be a rather dry subject that no one really wants to understand they just want to know that they covered. The lowest premiums do not mean that the insurance is inferior and the highest premiums do not mean that you will have the coverage that need for a particular situation.
