Obviously confused about input and output resolutions
I have a screen recording (using iShowU HD Pro). Here's the info of that file:
Dimensions: 1024x812
Codecs: Apple Intermediate Codec
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration 2:07 Total bit Rate: 19,498
I import the file to FCE and place it on the timeline, and then export using QuickTime Conversion:
I pick format QuickTIme Movie: and then inside the "Options"
Compression: H.264
Quality: High
Key frame Rate: 25
Frame recordering: yes
Encoding mode: Multi-pass
Dimensions 1024X812
After the export, the info on the new file is this:
Dimensions: 1024-812
Codecs: linear PCM, H.264
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration: 2:07
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,338
Yet the screen cast is distorted there are black bars on each side of the movie, with the result being that the image is "squished"
Obviously I'm missing a setting somewhere. How do I get my output to have the same shape as my input?
That frame size is nonstandard and isn't supported for editing within FCE. You should first use the free MPEG Streamclip to convert to a frame size that the program supports such as 1280x720. Then export as 1280x720 or another 16:9 frame size.

Musical Instrument Inputs and Outputs
I just got a new Mac Pro 2.8 ghz 8-Core and need some advice for my musical instrument inputs and outputs. In my old Mac I used the stereo in and out that were attached to a PA system. Now I want to downsize and am not sure how to connect my musical instruments that have 1/4 plugs.
Can I use the optical audio in and out in some way?
Should I get a small mixer? Firewire output?
Any recommendations for a low cost audio recording set up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.I think I need to be more specific with my question.
I need to record my keyboard, which has a 1/4" connections and cables.
I also need to record voice through a mic with an XLR connection.
I do not record the keyboard and mic at the same time.
I need to be able to monitor the sound while recording and for playback.
I will be using SoundTrack Pro (Or Bias Deck 3.5) to record.
Obviously I will need to convert the analog signal to digital, but I want to do it with least amount of interference and shortest route possible.
I guess what I'm asking is about the set up.

How can I use a different driver for audio input and output?
I did a search of course, and came up with something about an aggregate. I have no idea what this is, how to do it, or if it would even work for me.
What I am trying to do is:
1) Record into Logic Express using my Tascam US-122.
2) Have playback come out of my computer sound system, not the Tascam.
If I go over to the Audio setup window, I can only record when the driver is set to Tascam US-122. Likewise, I can only listen to sound when my Built-In Audio is selected. It gets rather annoying going between the two.
So, would this aggregate thing solve my problem? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for any help!
-allenYes it should do what you want.
Go to "Audio Midi Setup", and go to the Audio menu and click "Open Aggregate Device Editor". The interface is pretty simple but if you do get stuck, just use the help function in Audio Midi Setup, as it has a step by step guide.
Then when you return to logic, go to the Preferences>Audio>Drivers section and select Aggregate Device as the new driver rather than either the built in sound or the tascam. Then the inputs and outputs will apply to BOTH devices. -
How to use a bluetooth cellphone for audio input and output
Hello, I was wondering how to set-up my Mac Book so that I can use my bluetooth cellphone for audio in and audio out. Ideally, I would like to use my handset for talking on iChat and Skype. Has anyone had any luck doing this? When I bond my cellphone these optiosn do not appear. I know that this is easy to do on a Windows machine but I am not sure about how to do it on my Mac Book.

How do I create an xControl with multiple inputs and outputs?
Hello,
i am trying to write a new Xcontrol Element. In the data model I can create data types using the cluster to create compound types, eg an int and an int array. But how do I create an xcontrol which has multiple data inputs and outputs?
Kind RegardsLimping_Twerp wrote:
Alright: I see: An xcontrol is either an input OR an output. How do I achieve an output? Secondly: So you are saying the only Elements that can have multiple inputs and outputs are VIs?
Can you take a few steps back and explain what you are actually trying to do. SubVIs and Xcontrols have nothing in common and it is not clear why you even try to compare them side by side (e.g. in terms of the number of connectors).
Your questions about input or output tell us that you seems to have some misconceptions about xcontrols. Xcontrols are like regular controls, except they have some built-in intelligence that you can program. Most front panel object can be either controls or indicators and the same is true for Xcontrol. You create an Xcontrol, and after placing it on the front panel you can decide if it should be a control (where the code reads the value) or an indicator (were the code writes values to it). When you define the xcontrol facade, you also need to program how the visuals change if it is changed from control to indicator or vice versa.
As a first step, you should opend the example finder and look at some xcontrol examples.
Again, what are you actually trying to do?

Multiple inputs and outputs using DAQmx VIs
Hello,
I am fairly new with the LabView programming language. I have a few training books that I have been reading, and I have been following online tutorials and reading the forums. However, I have come to a problem where I don’t see a clear solution. I am using LabView 2009 (9.0f3) and DAQmx VIs.
I am using a NI 9172 chassis PLC, with two 9201 AI cards, 9217 AI RTD card, 9472 DO card, 9263 AO card, and two 9237 AI Bridge cards.
I am reading eight analog inputs with the 9201 cards, two analog RTD inputs with the 9217 card, three digital outputs with the 9472 card, three analog outputs with the 9263, and eight analog inputs with the 9237 cards.
I wrote a simple program to test one digital output task, two of the analog output tasks, and a single analog input task. I put all of them in the same while loop, and it worked perfectly. However, when I add analog input tasks to the same loop, I get an error 200022. So I tested each sensor individually by changing the channel before each run. I searched error 200022 and found that this is because I cannot start another analog input task until the previous one ends. With this said, I don’t know how to acquire an analog voltage in the same task as an analog RTD voltage. Both inputs take different constants in the start task DAQmx icon.
Attached is my test program. It is titled “Test All”. This is the program I used to test the various sensors. I tested the input sensors one at a time, and it worked fine. A few tasks are written just to test functionality, and will be added to later. The data is only displayed on the screen. I will add triggers and data write to disk functions later. This program works now, but if I add more analog inputs, it will generate the 200022 error.
Can someone show me how to correctly write the code for multiple inputs and outputs using DAQmx? All training materials and tutorials I can find all show a single input or single output, not multiples of each. Thanks for looking.

Input and output audio not working and no startup chime
The audio, both input and output, on my MacBook Pro has stopped working as well as the startup chime. Otherwise the computer starts up and seems to be working normally. Any ideas as to what the problem is and solutions?
Hey, my MacBook Pro has been doing the EXACT same thing off and on for a few weeks now.
I'm just now having time to browse the forums, so I've not even asked about it.
Yesterday it all started working normally - all sounds.
I'll follow this discussion for sure.
There definitely seems to be enough 'Mac-Daddy' Mac Helpers on here to be able to easily resolve this issue.
i.e.: Andreas! Just reading her stuff lets me know she REALLY knows what she's talking about & is able to explain the highly advanced info in terms people actually get!
Thanks for asking that question!

Input and output on same device, producer/consumer structure
Hello interested people,
I have a question about using the same device for both digital inputs
and outputs. I have written a simple program of one while loop
that continuously polls the device, processes, and requests. I
have addressed the device using two DAQmx Asst. and I have attached
them with their error in/out cluster terminals to provide data flow and
eliminate the chance of addressing the devices at the same time (which
produces an error). Now I want to change this program structure
to a producer/consumer loop foundation with state machine.
In this design, I will have the DI in the producer loop and the DO in
the consumer loop, under one of the states. I can't simply
connect the error in/out ports in this configuration, so my question is
how to avoid the error caused by addressing the same device
simultaneously with two different tasks (input and output)? I
have attached two VI's, the "One Loop" vi is the original configuration
(simplified), and the Producer-Consumer vi is a NONSENSICAL program
that simply represents the desired configuration. (I don't need
any comments on the programming of this vi, it is only an example for
illustration of the problem).
I am thinking about bundling the input data and the error cluster, both
from the PXI 6528 DI, into one cluster, queueing that up, and
unbundling the de-queued elements for some kind of data flow between
the producer loop and the "Request" state of the consumer loop.
Is this the right approach, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks

One Loop DO DI.vi 102 KB
Producer-Consumer DI-DO.vi 106 KBHello,
It sounds to me like you really have two modes:
1. user interface actions determine execution
2. user interface is locked, and execution is automated.
I think it would make sense to use the producer consumer for an architecture. Basically you would do the following:
1. program the producer to handle the user interface as you normally would.
2. provide one additional event case in the producer which would be your "automated handling" case. In that case, you could put a state machine which could run until whatever conditions were met to put your program back in "user interface mode".
Keep in mind that you can use custom USER EVENTS to programmatically generate events ie. you can trigger the start of your "automated handling" form anywhere in your code at virtually any time.
I think this would allow you to take advantage of the producer consumer architecture in its intended spirit, while integrating an automated routine.
I hope this helps!

Synchronize input and output tasks to start at the same sample point [C++ NI_DAQmx Base]

AxoGraph ScientificHi Michael,
First of all, thanks very much for taking the time to investigate this problem! Much appreciated.
You asked for "an actual error code you got and any description that is given". The full output from the program that I posted earlier in this thread is appended to the end of this message. In summary, following the call to...
DAQmxErrorCheck ( DAQmxBaseCfgDigEdgeStartTrig( outputTaskHandle, outputTrigger, DAQmx_Val_Rising ) );
... with ...
char outputTrigger[] = "Dev1/ai/StartTrigger";
...the error message is ...
DAQmxBase Error: Specified route cannot be satisfied, because the hardware does not support it.
You asked "specifically which M series device you are using"? It is the PCIe 6251 (with BNC 2111 connector block). I'm testing and developing on an Intel Mac Pro (dual boot OS X and Windows XP).
You asked for "the location you pulled the code from". Here it is...
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/879
...specifically from the file "Multi-Function-Synch AI-AO_Fn.c".
I adapted the NI-DAQmx calls to their NI-DAQmx Base equivalents.
Finally, you asked "Is the trigger necessary, or do you just need to know that the measurements are running on the same clock?". I believe that some kind of sychronized trigger is necessary in my situation (correct me if I'm wrong). Timing is crucial. Say I initiate an analog output stream that delivers a voltage command step 5 ms from the onset. I need to record the response (analog input stream) so that its onset is accurately aligned (synchronized) at 5 ms. A typical recording situation would stimulate and record a short data 'sweep', then wait for the (biological) system to recover, then stimulate and record another short sweep, and repeat. I need all the recorded sweeps to align accurately so that they can be averaged and analyzed conveniently.
I definitely do not want my customers to rely on an expensive external TTL pulse generator to initiate and synchronize each 'sweep'. That would effectively eliminate the cost advantage of an NI board, as well as adding unnecessary complexity in setup and use. It would be a show-stopper for me.
It seems perverse, but would it be possible to use a digital output channel connected directly to a digital input chanel to trigger the input and output streams?
Regards,
John.

I tried to boot a Sun Blade 100. The message that appears on the screen is Keyboard not found. use ttya Input and Output.
I have only a normal MS Keyboard which cannot be connected to SUN. Do we need to have a special Keyboard. Whether we have to use USB Keyboard...
I just want to know more about TTYA input and output.
Thanx.Hi Martin
Thanx for your info.I Connected using a second computer that has a serial port as well as a null-modem connection cable.
The following appears in the second computer..I am not able to type anything from the second computer keyboard..Is there any reason for it..?

Analog Levels vs SPDIF Levels Input and Output in Logic Pro
Hello,
I ran a test last night for recording input and output levels from my Yamaha Motif XS8 through an Apogee Ensemble to compare Analog to SPDIF
I connected two TRS cables from the L and R outputs on the Motif XS into the Analog Inputs on the Apogee and also have the SPDIF connection from the Motif to the Apogee.
I put the master fader all the way up on the XS for the volume for analog.
The ensemble in Maestro has a +4 and -10 reference notional level option for analog inputs. i had it at +4 but changed to -10 and the analog got louder (i figured it would get louder for +10, confusing).
anyways, why is it that I can record louder levels for analog than the digital transfer?
I tracked both options at the same time then recorded vocals over it. the digital sound is too low. what's up with that?
and when I tried to bounce the recording to listen to it in ITunes, the volume levels were way lower than my cd playing through iTunes. Please enligthen me on these?
I use to record in a Roland 2480, and had similar results with loudness, but got a little louder through mastering but still....pro cds are way louder and still clear.I think there is much confusion here!
In summary, you wont be able to control the recording level of S/PDIF.
The reason is that you don't want to!
You need to think of the SPDIF connection as being more like a file transfer method. You are copying the digital data at an output to your harddrive in effect. If I send you an MP3 via email you'd never imagine that your email software is capable of changing the gain of the MP3 I send you. This might sound daft but its a useful analogy. If you need to increase the "volume" of that MP3 then you'd need to ask the sender. Its the same with your set-up.
There could well be somewhere on your synth that adjusts the instruments level, other than the master (analogue) output control. For example, make sure the midi volume of the intrument being played is set to full - ie midi vol 128. Perhaps there is somesort of virtual mixer onboard to control all the muti-timbral parts so make sure your part has its virtual fader turned up.
This is what (basically) is going on in the chain...
Your synth creates sound in its "digital brain". This sound is sent to an "output stage" which will distribute the sound to various outputs. In the case of the S/PDIF it will just send the raw digital data untouched. For the analogue side the digital signal (same as the one sent to S/PDIF) will be converted to analogue and then sent to a amplifier to get it to an appropriate "line level". This final level could well be controlled by an anogue volume control which could be adding more gain (than you think) too.
When things go to your sound card/ daw...
The purpose of a analogue gain control is to set the i/p signal so that it suitably loud to beat any noise that exists in your input circuits - so that a good signal to noise ratio is achieved. Analogue signals need to work in the right loudness zone (so to speak) as the analogue electronics will be designed to handle signal levels of a particular range. the gain control is there to make sure the signal is in that range.
Digital signals are far more predictable though and there is no advantage to your recordings if the incoming digital signal gets an increase of level at the input stage. All you are doing here is effectively adding a few zeros to the binary digital data!
Lets face it the point of recording is to get a copy of the original sound, that is as similar to the original as possible. With S/PDIF you get a perfect copy of what's coming out of your synth - so job's a good un!
If, when you come to mix in logic, you find the level of the digital recording is indeed too low for mixing/mastering purposes then just boost it in logic via a fader or via the gain plugin.
Those referrence values of -10dBV and +4dBu refer to analogue voltage levels only. they have nothing to do with the digital domain. The -10/+4 switch will be only relevant to analogue inputs and outputs. Using an analogue VU meter you should find that a sine wave that peaks at 0dBVU (totally different to 0dBFS BTW) is the equivant of a digital sine wave peaking at -18dBFS.
The analogue headroom (how loud you can go before things distort) depends on the analogue electronics and varies with different design. Analogue stuff, like mixers) often has headroom of 24dB or more. So that digital stuff can interface with analogue properly we allow for that analogue headroom to be around 18dB (usually enough in practise!)... hence -18dBFS(digital)=0dBVU(analogue).
To make your digital and analogue input signals sound similar in level you will probably have to reduce the gain of the analogue input. If you set the incoming analogue signal to peak around -14dB (or less!) or so you will probably find things more equal. If you are working in 24 bit your analogue levels can be seemingly very low before sound quality is affected. Its quite safe to record at -20 or even -30dB as shown on logic's meters for eg.
I hope all this waffle helps LOL! -
How to switch USB-6008 between digital input and output modes
Hi I have been following the examples of setting a specific port to either inout or output using the DAQmxCreateDIChan() or DAQmxCreateDOChan() calls. What I now want to do, is switch betwen inout to output mode and back again.
DAQmxCreateDOChan()
DAQmxWriteDigitalLines()
// do something
//switch to input
DAQmxReadDigitalU32()
// switch back to output
I can't seem to find any calls or discussions on this.
rjmillerHi RJM,
If you want to be able to switch your digital line between input and output, then you will need to use the Tristate Property. There is another discussion forum with more detailed information about using this property and I believe that you have already seen it. I am going to post the link in case anyone else wants to see the other forum as well: Tristate Property Discussion Forum. Reddog's post is very informative.

SSIS: How to use one Variable as Input and Output Parameter in an Execute SQL Task
Hello,
i need your help,I'm working on this issue since yesterday and have no idea how to deal with it.
As I already said in the tilte i want to start a stored procedure via a Execute SQL Task which has around 15 prameters. 10 of these should be used as input AND output value.
As an example:
i have three Variable:
var1 int 2
var2 int 100
var3 int 200
the stroed procedure:
sp_test
@var1 int
@var2 int output
@var3 int output
AS
BEGIN
SET @var2 = @var2 * @var1
SET @var3 = @var3 + @var1
END
So in the Execute SQL Task i call the Stored Procedure as follwos:
Exec sp_test @var1 = ?, @var2 = ? output, @var3 = ? output
(I use an OLE DB Connection)
The parameter mapping is as follows:
User::Var1 input numeric 0 -1
User::Var2 input/output numeric 1 -1
User::Var3 input/output numeric 2 -1
Now my problem. If i set Var2 and Var3 as Input parameter the values are still the same after running the package. If i set them to a output value the are both Null because the procedure doesnt get any values.
I already tried to list them a second time - like
User::Var2 input numeric 1 -1
User::Var2 output numeric 1 -1
or i use a new variable
User::Var2 input numeric 1 -1
User::Var2Return output numeric 1 -1
but i alwas get the error
"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
Has anybody an idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards,
AliceHi Alain,
thx for your answer.
I have around 15 procedures called one after the other to calculated and modify my values. Each procedure is responsible for an other but overlapping set of variables. So i thought it would be a good idea to call them one after the other with the needed variables via a execute sql task.
So if i use a result set, how i get my stored procedure to return 10 values? I would have to use a Function instead of a procedure, wouldn't i?
As if i have 15 procedures this would be a lot of work.
But thanks a lot for the idea. I think an other idea would be to create one function which calls all stored procedures and returns all the calculated values as a result set, wouldn't it?.
Kind Regards.

Any help is appreciatedyou can connect the headset to something like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MaelineA-3-5mm-Female-to-2-Male-Gold-Plated-Headphon e-Mic-Audio-Y-Splitter-/381100440348
and then connect the mic to the input and the headset to the headset port -
FINALLY INPUTTING and OUTPUTTING Annotations!
Ok, before everyone thinks that this is a very bad solution, I have to tell that I`m no programmer and my knowledge of PostgreSQL, Ruby or any other language is very poor.
With useful help from Jamie Hodge, fbm and Nicholas Stokes (mainly)
I could manage to write a command for inputting and outputting from Final Cut Server Annotations.
So lets go to the fun part:
INPUTTING:
1- Create a Response called "Annotations IN" (or whatever you want):
a - Reponse Action: "Run an external script or command"
b - Run Script > *Commnad Path: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run
Command Parameters: psql px pxdb -c "COPY pxtcmdvalue FROM '/FCSRV/annotation-in.txt' USING DELIMITERS '|';"
2 - Create a poll Watcher with name: "Watch for Annotations IN"
a - Enable: true
b - Monitor Address: Chooses a Device (create a new one or use a tmp one) and path to where you`ll going to put a txt file with the annotations.
c - Response List: Choose the Response you created "Annotations IN" in my case.
d - Event Type Filter: Created, Modified
e - Poll Watcher > Listing Frequency: 2 (or any number of seconds you feel like it).
Listing multiple: 2
Wildcard include Filter: *.txt (or any custom extensions you want)
3 - Create a txt file and use this as a template:
{ASSET_ENTITYID}|1527|{TCIN}/(30000,1001)|{TCOUT}/(30000,1001)|{Annotation}|{USE RID}|{DATE}
Where:
{ASSET_ENTITYID} = Is the entityid of your asset. You can find what number it is by issuing:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.entityid, pxmdvalue.value AS asset_name FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxentity ON pxentity.entityid = pxmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.fieldid='1543' AND pxentity.address LIKE '/asset/%';"
This will output ALL your assets, so if you know the name or want to parse the name you can use:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.entityid, pxmdvalue.value AS asset_name FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxentity ON pxentity.entityid = pxmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.fieldid='1543' AND pxmdvalue.value='ASSETNAME' AND pxentity.address LIKE '/asset/%';"
Where in ASSETNAME you`ll have to put your Asset Name without extension.
{TCIN} and {TCOUT} is, of course, the TC`s points. In the form of: HH:MM:SS;FF
{Annotation} is the commentary.
{USERID} (in my case was 1)
{DATE}: This one is tricky. My example is 2009-03-15 19:31:15.839795-03
So is in the form YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.????? I really don`t know the rest. Could be milliseconds?
Of course one can write a script to translate everything from a txt file like:
ASSETNAME | TCIN | TCOUT | ANNOTATIONS | USER
But as I`ve said I`m no programmer
Ok.. now the time for the OUTPUT:
The command-line is:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "SELECT pxmdvalue.value AS Asset_NAME, pxtcmdvalue.value, pxtcmdvalue.begintc, pxtcmdvalue.endtc FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxtcmdvalue ON pxmdvalue.entityid = pxtcmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.value='ASSETNAME';"
Where ASSETNAME is the Asset name without the extension.
Or issuing the following to OUTPUT ANNOTATIONS from ALL assets:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select * from pxtcmdvalue;"
Adding "> /PATHTO_WHERE_IN_WANT/ANNOTATIONSOUTPUT.TXT" at the end will put all output into a txt file.
It`s possible (in theory) to:
1- Create a boolean md field in FCSRV called "EXPORT Annotations" (don`t choose lookup)
2- add or create a md group called "Export Annotations" and add the above md field to it (don`t choose lookup)
3- Add "Export Annotations" md field to Asset Filter md group
4- Make a Response for Running external command. Command path: /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Server/Final Cut Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run
Command Parameters: psql px pxdb -c 'SELECT pxmdvalue.value AS Asset_NAME, pxtcmdvalue.value, pxtcmdvalue.begintc, pxtcmdvalue.endtc FROM pxmdvalue INNER JOIN pxtcmdvalue ON pxmdvalue.entityid = pxtcmdvalue.entityid WHERE pxmdvalue.value=[FileName];' > ~/Desktop/ann-out.txt
(I`m having problem with this, it doesn`t work).
5- Make a Subscription that if Export Annotations modified = true, trigger if changed and trigger the Response above.
6- Add exporting annotations md group to Media md set.
In theory it`s possible to modify the FinalCutServerIntegrationSample get and input annotations instead of adding another "comment" field to md group list.
Few!
Ok so please help beautify this out!
This will be very useful for a lot of people.... We know that it`s only a matter of time to FCSVR have this function built-in... but this "time" could be years.
So let`s start ourselves!
Thank you very much!!

This site doesn't really work that way.Fair enough. I'm asking for insight into how to input from and output to a StarOffice Spreadsheet into/from a Java program. (Think java.io except with spreadsheet files instead of .txt files.) I already answered that question.
I need to accomplish this without the use of a community-created library.That's a bizarre requriement. Why?

Okay, [here you go|http://lmgtfy.com/?q=communication+between+StarOffice+Spreadsheets+and+Java].
If you don't have any knowledge or experience, on the matter, please refrain from directing me to a google search. I assure you, I have already performed such a task.How would I know that.
But okay, let's say I know that. Let's say you bothered to point out that you've already done that. Further, let's say I do have knowledge of the subject at hand. Maybe I'm an expert. Maybe I wrote Star Office and an open source library (which wheel for some reason you must reinvent). You are assuming that I also have psychic powers, so that I can read your mind and know exactly what you've read so far and exactly what parts of your very broad and vague question said reading did not answer.
In short, you have received answers commensurate with your questions.
