When I made these blocks to attach the solid-wood top to a dining table (“English-Inspired Trestle Table,” FWW #310)) I was aiming for the blocks’ shape to be in sympathy with the design of the corbels that act to stiffen the connection of the foot and the brace to the trestle’s post. It’s an example of echoing the overall design even in the smallest of ways.

The main difference between MR11 and MR16 are as follows:

1. Size The MR-16 bulbs diameter is 2 inch (50mm)
   The MR-11 bulbs diameter is 1.375 inch (35mm)

2. Base the most common base for MR16 bulbs is GU5.3 or GX5.3 base - 2 pin base with 5.3mm between pins the most common base for MR11 bulbs is GU4 - 2 pin base with 4mm between base

Roth IRA Conversions

Taxable income tends to increase for many retirees at 73, when those born between 1950 and 1959 are required to take withdrawls from traditional retirement accounts.

Track athletes will recognize this exercise as no more than the high knee drill, which is not accurate once we look at the specifics of the technique.

• Focus on one leg, drive knee up to hip height (this is important) while driving the same side elbow back
• Return foot same start position (this is also important) and bring elbow forward*
• Repeat on the same side for 10-20 or even 30 repetitions and then repeat on the side

The new headline 5.27% I bond rate only applies to new bonds. Your new rate for an existing I bond is likely much lower, and you may be better off cashing it out for a CD.

• If you've held your I bond for at least a year, you can move your funds to a better-paying CD. The issue date of your bond can tell you the optimal time to cash in, with 15 months being the sweet spot for many 2022 bond purchasers.

• But what has an even bigger impact this cycle is that anyone buying a new I bond between November 2023 and May 2024 will receive a fixed-rate component of 1.30%.
  That is notably higher than the 0.00% fixed rate assigned to I bonds purchased last year, and explains why new I bonds purchased today will pay a higher rate of 5.27% for the initial six months, while 2022 I bonds will only pay 3.94%.

In this video Paul Sellers shows how to make a simple shooting board from pine. This is an important piece of equipment for woodworking in the hand tool shop as it allows you to make sure the end of a board is either exactly square or exactly forty-five degrees. It also allows you to plane the end of a board straight across without 'break-out' on the far side.

At 1:47 the middle measurement should be 12 1/2" or 320mm. Sorry for the confusion.

Basic syntax for re-encoding a video file did take me some time to memorize, but isn't in fact too hard:

ffmpeg <Input file(s)> <Codec(s)> <MAPping of streams> <Video Filters> output_file

• input file: -i, can be repeated for multiple input files, like so:

  ffmpeg -i file1.mp4 -i file2.mkv

If there is more than one input file then some mapping is needed to decide what goes out in the output file.

• codec: -c:x where x is the type of codec (v: video, a: audio or s:subtitles), followed by its name, like so:
  -c:v libx265

I usually never set the audio codec as the guesses made by ffmpeg, based on output file type, are always right (in my experience), but deciding the video codec is useful, and so is the subtitles codec, as not all containers (file formats) support all codecs; mkv is the most flexible for subtitles codecs.

• mapping of streams: -map ::, like so:
  -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:1 -map 1:a:0 -map 1:s:4

Map tells ffmpeg what stream from the input files to put in the output file. The first number is the position of the input file in the command, so if we're following the same example as above, '0' would be 'file1.mp4' and '1' would be 'file2.mkv'. The parameter in the middle is the stream type (v for video, a for audio, s for subtitles). The last number is the position of the stream IN THE INPUT FILE (NOT in the output file).

The position of the stream in the output file is determined by the position of the map command in the command line, so for example in the command above we are inverting the position of the audio streams (taken from 'file2.mkv'), as audio stream 1 will be in first position in the output file, and audio stream 0 (the first in the second input file) will be in second position in the output file.
This map thing is for me the most counter-intuitive because it's unusual for a CLI to be order-dependent. But, well, it is.

• video filters: -vf
  Video filters can be extremely complex and I don't pretend to know how to use them by heart. But one simple video filter that I use often is 'scale', for resizing a video:
  -vf scale=:
  width and height can be exact values in pixels, or one of them can be '-1' and then ffmpeg computes it based on the current aspect ratio and the other provided value, like this for example:
  -vf scale=320:-1

This doesn't always work because the computed value should be an even integer; if it's not, ffmpeg will raise an error and tell you why; then you can replace the -1 with the nearest even integer (I wonder why it can't do that by itself, but apparently, it can't).
And that's about it! ffmpeg options are immense, but this gets me through 90% of my video encoding needs, without looking at a manual or ask an LLM. (The only other options I use often are -ss and -t for start time and duration, to time-crop a video.)
