1212 Lose Toolbar on ACDSEE?

 For last several weeks when I click on .jpg to view in ACDSEE the image desired comes up, but I no longer have a "filter" toolbar where I can Zoom, Resize, etc.

To fix, get in Browse mode: Right click on picture vied, select File>Browse .

Select Tools>Customize>Toolbars Tab >Reset to Defaults

Don't know how this changed, but this is how to get life back.

1210. Presidential Debate - Trump and Harris Ridiculous

 So was there a winner of the Presidential debate or just another setup with ABC?

I'll agree that Kamala was more composed and the strategy for her was simple: Always keep throwing lies about Trump at him so he can only defend them, and NEVER defend any yourself . In other words, go into the game to play offense only.

Trump on the other hand fell for their plan and continued to waste time on defense. The ABC commentators that KNEW that certain lies were lies sat there and let them fall! Here are some example:

- Taxes: Force everybody to pay additional Taxes on Sales. Truth is that a so-called FLAT tax has been discussed for over a decade now. Trump made some comment that it seemed interesting. He did NOT commit to it like the Dems are suggesting. This is similar to what they say about Elon Musk to believe that only Male Elites can manage the government. This was raised on his platform X as a theory from someone where his only comment was "Interesting Theory". He did NOT accept it as believable.

- Abortion: Trump's policy is to leave it to the states as the Supreme Court ordered. He did NOT make a comment re a federal restriction of any period. His belief is to limit abortions to those medically necessary and when not necessary to no longer than MAYBE 6 weeks. He is letting the states debate the issues. So, Kamala again lied. Let me comment though that my beliefs after hearing about some states devising some actions to inhibit abortions entirely. I believe it is the mother's decision to abort, period! The states should provide the necessary counseling and support and aids to help the mother decide. However, they should NOT make ridiculous rules about banning abortions completely like some states have done. With that, I agree that the Federal Government needs to revisit the rules and again write a law that provides limits and guideline withing the states must act!

-  Economy:- Kamala throws out her plan as one that is approved by the top Economists. Well, those same expert Economists are the one that made America so bad over the last 3 years! NO one has put them on a list of all economists that are in the top 25! Who would decide that? Of course, Kamala would. In the meantime she did not put Art Laffer, who managed affairs for Reagan and beyond. Sure, Kamala selected only her democrats FROM the democrat list of economists. Now, tell me honestly how you are faring during the Biden-Harris administration compared to the Trump Administration! If you lean to the left you are quite irresponsible to manage anything and live in a dark fantasy. Now, what is an opportunist Plan by Kamala. Did she even give you step one of getting us out of the S__t Hole? Compared to Trump who showed you how it was done! And will continue the plan of bringing oil controls back to America by drilling and making us #1 and self-reliant again. You'll notice that Kamala's administration is still running with the Trump excise taxes again China feeding the Revenue substantially.

- Immigration: The Southern Border is chaos. If you can't realize how the millions let in are affecting everything in America, you are clueless. I was going to use "blind" instead of "clueless", but the bind probably know even better the hardships cast upon them by inflation, and their security diminished by the crime corruption we are experiencing. What I can't believe is the lack of compassion by Kamala relate to the children and other people killed and raped by illegal immigrants! Seriously. Is this what you want in a President? 3.5 years already down this open path to America and NOW she promises a plan in the future to address this! Wake up!

- Iran: WHO gave Iran the billions of dollars. Democrats with Hillary. Who REMOVED the sanctions that kept them poor (Trump's doing)? Biden-Harris. What has Iran accomplished in 3.5 years with there excess money? Support and actions by their proxies -- Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. Now they are even providing ballistic missiles to Russia to control that war with the Ukraine. Ever effort AND RESULT Trump made to ensure continuance of a free world across seas has bee killed! The world is much more dangerous.

- Democratic Support from Republicans: The list Kamala has is from FIRED employees and past individuals who hate Trump for their reasons. They would rather bash Trump than to admit to their stupid actions. The fight between parties on who in the world loves Trump and who Hate Trump depends on what the results are to America AND the world. Bother were in far better shape with trump, so he must have been doing something right. Kamala can only present her conspiracy theory that being a super-strong and sometimes confronting leader hurts the heart and makes some cry BECASUE THEY ARE WRONG! Can you imagine a private company CEO that bends over yields on everything rather than one who can defend his plan, direct,  and lead based on pragmatic plans and results! I can understand the Elon Musk "interesting comment" remark, not really explained that maybe he was suggesting that male, elites were more pragmatic thinkers on the whole compared to the 80-90% of the people who are bogged done just trying to make ends meet who no time, and never had time, to experience the competitiveness actions that make America successful and great.

- I'll probably add to this post when I have a little more time. For now, just realize that Kamala presents NO content for her so-called desires to win this election.  Bernie Sanders said it best a week back when he said she'd lie and make up a plan just to win the election! I haven't see a Democrat implement any positive plan for a long, long time. 

Heed the beginning of this post that Kamala ONLY threw out lies to keep Trump from presenting his best. She NEVER defended anything he said! And, NEVER presented any content for any of her plans!

This is the strategy of the Democrats to simply win an election! Lie and Hide Biden. We still do not know WHO is actually running this country! Scary!

1209. Attempted to use VOICE ACCESS

 Interesting is that on my system without Accessibility features turn on, it took me less than 1 minute to get Voice Access set up and usable. However, with my impaired client, it could NOT correctly perform phone features consistently or even at all. For example, I managed to get a Google Phone # and registered via his Cell Phone. Then proceeded to have his Cell ring on a call received to the Google Phone #. The necessity to hit another option when calling  or receiving is cumbersome, but we successfully did so. But, consistency is lacking. Sometimes the calling and receiving works, sometimes not, leaving Voicecall messages each time when it fails. The website screen for calling is NOT correct. To be specific, I first needed to find his contacts already stored by Google Gmail. No Luck getting them to voice Access calling! So, I though maybe I'll manually create necessary contacts. Instructions said to get on the screen interface and click CONTACTS. Well, NOT there! Never figured out how to create or import contacts! Then the worse thing is that Voice Access throws a banner line at top of Windows Home screen and it starts at Restart actions, forces a pre-login screen picture to some up and prevents getting to login screen unless you find the secret to kill the banner. I played enough to scrap this idea for calling and answering from the machine. I also wanted to use the microphone on Google Search to verbally submit queries. I was successful, but the response was in screen text only, unlike the Nest Hub which provides a verbal response or simply allows a user to turn on text-to-voice for any text on screen. Yes, this can be accomplished via Natural Reader or Narrator (another piece of crap - See 1208). Why should I have to jump through so many hurdles to get things working even adequately? And do not have any impairments hindering my visual capabilities. However, my client does, and these unnecessary steps is impossible to perform.

Today, I tried to get in contact with the Accessibility Help people, both by phone and chat, DURINH the operation hours published. Forget that! They were there, but proceeded to collect information BEFORE telling me that! Poor support for the needy. 

So, we will stick with the Nest Hub and try to get it working for calling; the search by voice and response verbally is EASY. Unfortunately, a prerequisite for managing Nest Hub to use it is a Cell phone that he cannot see at all. We decided to switch to an existing Tablet (older one0, but are stuck getting that to work. Then there is the matter of CONTACTS again being shared. The entire process is too complex. btw, Nest Hub is a Goggle product! Why am I dancing around setting parameters on several devices to get it working? Who is designing products for Google? Where is the Google-Microsoft interfaces? If I had to design thing, I would have Microsoft provide EXITS (from their code) to one written by another user, like Google. The Exit would override settings in Microsoft (Google permission necessary and responsibility there's). That way, Microsoft's Voice Access could allow a user to control the interface to the user.

That is all another topic and too complicated for the normal user. They know where I am if they want to discuss.

For now, Voice Access (previously Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) is a disaster. I can see why WSR is being killed, but can't understand why Voice Access is even implemented to replce it. It seems like for now its only a name change! What a zoo.
