Re: New laptop.

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

That system is fairly new. If you can upgrade memory or drive you should get 
another 2 or 3 years out of it. I think the only networking he really that 
upgraded is Bluetooth 4.2 in the new systems.

New laptop.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hi fellow list members,

Seeking your advice.

My 2013 late MacBook Pro is getting rather long in the tooth and I am 
looking at upgrading.


The question is do I purchase a new Mac or heaven forbid  get a PC?

I don't mind Windows 10 but I would need to resurrect  JAWS license or 
perhaps use NVDA.


Would be using the new computer for office related tasks and XL.

As always your help is appreciated.

Yours truly,

Sadam Ahmed

Looking  forward to getting this product as well.

The Sound is pretty good if the reviews are any indication.

RE: Windows 10 push

[M. Taylor]

This is great information.  

Thank you for sharing it.

I'll definitely be keeping a lookout for it as I have absolutely no intention 
of upgrading any of my Windows 7 PCs to Windows 10.

I am a strong believer in the old adage of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it."

I didn't actually get upgraded. I got annoyed when Windows Update appeared 
to be stuck with this. So googled it.

First, Microsoft sneaked it in a couple months ago as an optional item with 
the name Update for Windows 7 and a kb number. This installs the gwx aoolet 
which waits for you to press that button on the update page. Until you do, you 
cannot check for other updates.

Here is a link to what I found today about what is expected next year.



Maybe by that time I will wean myself off Windows completely and uninstall 
Bootcamp.

It's a great speaker if the reviews are any indication.

The control app seems to work well with VoiceOver although there are 
some unlabeled buttons.


Looking forward to the product.

Re: Bizarre observation with screen saver

As I said, it definitely 100% is a screen saver.  I even have enough vision to

And I do have it set for the screen not to lock, nor to require a password on

Re: New laptop.

[Grant]

Hi Sadam,

What are the specifications of your late 2013 Macbook Pro? Like others have 
said it’s quite new, and the 2014 and 2015 Macbook Pro models are relatively 
similar. Have you tried reinstalling OS X from scratch? Or are there tasks you 
are trying to do which you feel may be faster on a PC? Have you considered Boot 
Camp or VMWare Fusion to run some Windows apps alongside your OS X apps?

Re: New laptop.

[Cameron Strife]

Hi. Given the amount of ram, processor speed, and the ssd, you should
be having no issues even with intensive multi tasking.

Have you ran any diagnostic utilities? If so, has anything come up?

I did have a stock mac book pro with an ssd develop an issue and it
turned out to be the ssd although it's rare that they have issues. The
apple store I had it repaired through said they never see issues with
their ssds. I guess I was the unlucky one!

 Hi Jonathan,

 I forgot to mention it's the Retina display model.

 Not sure if this machine can be upgraded at least not without the proper
 tools.

 The flash chips might be soldered on as well as the RAM.

 I could  perhaps do some work on it myself but this might void the
 warranty.

Re: New laptop.

[Alex Hall]

An upgrade would absolutely void the warranty, yes. But, if you're replacing it 
anyway, why not? That said, it sounds like your problem is more the apps on the 
Mac, and that you prefer Windows anyway. Why not get a cheap Windows box for 
work, and keep the Mac for home use, assuming you prefer it for everything 
except work?

Re: New laptop.

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I'd love to do more with Pages, but I'd need Ann's training.  Last I 
remember looking, it was over $100, which though I find that a fair price, 
right now, I simply just cannot afford it.  I'd be willing to pay in 
installments, but I highly doubt that would be possible.


Ann, if you're reading this, let me know, and maybe we could work something 
out.  I'd need quite a bit of help though, as aside jotting down a small 
little text file, doing the more high end word processing is not something I 
am very familiar with.  I'm quite good at teaching myself things, but I'm 
just not totally sure how far I'd get with it on my own.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for writing in.

I mainly need the new machine for Office work.

Haven't quite gotten my head around Pages  for the Mac yet.

I got quite excited when Office for Mac became accessible but honestly
it's been a big disappointment ever since.

If I need to do any serious editing for documents I fire up Windows
through BootCamp.

This machine uses flash memory but an upgrade at home might void the
warranty.

Your call. I assume you are familiar with both, given that you've had a Mac 
for two years but still know Windows. Macs are more expensive, but, well, 
they're Macs, with all the advantages that includes. Do you have specific 
questions about one platform or the other which you aren't sure about but 
would help your decision?


As Jonathan said, too, a 2013 machine is pretty new. I'm on a 2012 Air, and 
about to bring my 2011 Mini back to life, and both work fine. If you have a 
mechanical drive in that Mac, that might explain a lot. Consider buying a 
solid state drive upgrade for your existing machine, instead of a whole new 
laptop. It's harder to replace hard drives in newer Macs, but it can be done 
with the right tools and parts.

Re: New laptop.

[Sadam Ahmed]

The CPU is 2.5 GHz 512GB Flash storage and 8GB of RAM. 

Back when I picked it up I was doing some podcast work and wanted a fairly 
powerful machine. 

I just want the new PC to do complex office documents and number crunching for 
work purposes. 

I do currently use Boot Camp and NVDA in the office. 

I had a play around with pages and was actually pleasantly surprised that I'm 
now able to access track changes and other formatting information. 

Learning that maybe an option. 

This computer did cost me $2300 so replacing it would be an absolute last 
resort. 

Yours truly, 

Sadam Ahmed

Re: New laptop.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hi Alex,

Thanks for writing in.

I mainly need the new machine for Office work.

Haven't quite gotten my head around Pages  for the Mac yet.

I got quite excited when Office for Mac became accessible but honestly 
it's been a big disappointment ever since.


If I need to do any serious editing for documents I fire up Windows 
through BootCamp.


This machine uses flash memory but an upgrade at home might void the 
warranty.


Yours truly,

Sadam Ahmed

Re: Uh, guys? We've got a problem with KNFB Reader for I O S.

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

Huh!  Weird.  I'm not doubting you for even one second, but are you sure 
that you have the most up to date version?  What version, speaking of which, 
are you running of I O S, and finally, what device are you running the KNFB 
Reader on, if you don't mind me asking?

Not for me, no problems here. Just go to Settings and change the rate to 
your desire.

Mine has been set to 40 percent and stays that way.
Maybe the trick is to change it before start scanning.

Hello,

I, too, am experiencing this problem.

The thing is, I don't see how to set a new default speech rate.  If such a 
mechanism exists, then we'd be in business.


Was it possible to set a new speech rate previously?

It's actually 20% and it seems to reset itself each time. I'm calling this 
a major bug.

Guys, we have a problem.

I just opened up the KNFB Reader app on my IPhone 6S, and went to scan a 
document.  The scan was fine, considering the content I was scanning, 
however the female voice that reads the material was obviously on Ambian 
or something, as she was so darn slow that it wasn't funny!  Put your 
Iphone to about 10% speaking rate... there you pretty much have it.


How in the world do I adjust this?

Re: Mixer and Mike recommendations for podcasting.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hi Cameron, 

Any particular mackie Onyx mixer you recommend? 

I got a whole heap of results on eBay ranging from $3500 to one that would fit 
my budget at $849. 

Keep in mind it's going to be pod casting to my WordPress.com website.

Re: New laptop.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hi Jonathan,

I forgot to mention it's the Retina display model.

Not sure if this machine can be upgraded at least not without the proper 
tools.


The flash chips might be soldered on as well as the RAM.

I could  perhaps do some work on it myself but this might void the 
warranty.


Yours truly,

Sadam Ahmed

Hi fellow list members,

Seeking your advice.

My 2013 late MacBook Pro is getting rather long in the tooth and I am looking 
at upgrading.

The question is do I purchase a new Mac or heaven forbid  get a PC?

I don't mind Windows 10 but I would need to resurrect  JAWS license or perhaps 
use NVDA.

Would be using the new computer for office related tasks and XL.

As always your help is appreciated.

for sale full sized ipad suitable keyboard.

[Karen Lewellen]

Greetings all,
I have appeased the mod gods  enough to post my offer.  that means I 
got permission.

If interested please write me directly,
klewel...@shellworld.net is the email.
for sale, or perhaps even trade, is a brand new from apple directly 
logitech keys-to-go  model bt keyboard.
Some senior staff at Apple and I hoped  i Could use it as a smaller full 
sized 
keyboard for my laptop, but, although there is a USB  cable included, the 
keyboard is really for a touch screen device.
If anyone has an interest let me know. might be   a fine item for someone 
who teaches apple skills on various devices.

Thanks,
Karen

Help from fellow academics out there? Desperate!

[Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan]

Hi all!

If any of you out there are also academics, do you know of any good 
citation-management software that works with Voice-Over?  I’ve been trying 
Zotero, but it’s a complete nightmare!  And I didn’t find Refworks all that 
accessible either (though that was with a different screen-reader before I 
switched to Mac).  Besides, it’s expensive I gather, and tied to your 
university.  Now, expensive I don’t necessarily mind, if I can be reasonably 
sure it’s going to actually work before I spend the money.  But, if possible, 
I’d like something I can use whether I’m formally affiliated with a university 
or not, because, once I finish my doctorate, I may not always be.  But I’ll 
still want to do academic work, submitting to conferences and journals and the 
like, and I’ll still want to publish!  Oh!  And it also needs to be something 
that will allow me to create citations in a variety of styles, not just in one. 
 My work is interdisciplinary, so I sometimes have to use MLA and at other 
times APA, for example, depending on which course, conference or journal I’m 
writing for.  Anyway, if any of you know of a citation-management software 
that’s VO compatible that’d work for that stuff, it’d be a real life-saver!  So 
thanks!

Re: Help from fellow academics out there? Desperate!

[Henry Hollithron]

Good Day:

I used a Mac for the majority of my college career. After extensive 
research into citation systems and word-processing applications, I settled on 
LaTeX, which someone else already mentioned. Essentially, LaTeX is a markup 
language wherein you specify the formatting of your document through text 
commands. This already provides an advantage when, for instance, you want to 
italicize something. In that case, you just write \it{whatever is supposed to 
be italicized}.
The reason this is useful is because you can extend the functionality 
of LaTeX with various packages, many of which deal with bibliographical styles, 
including the APA, Chicago, and MLA formats. While LaTeX does not cost 
anything, it might take some time to master its intricacies, but if you don’t 
mind spending the time and computer space it requires, it will serve you well, 
and you can be certain that your documents will come out looking very 
professional.

HTH:

Re: New laptop.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Hardware wise the computer is perfect.

It's just a question of productivity.

I think the best idea agreed on unanimously by the list is to set up a 
Boot Camp or VM  environment and use that for Office and keep OS X for 
audio applications and recording podcasts.

I do currently use Boot Camp and NVDA in the office.

I had a play around with pages and was actually pleasantly surprised that I'm 
now able to access track changes and other formatting information.

Learning that maybe an option.

This computer did cost me $2300 so replacing it would be an absolute last

Hi fellow list members,

Seeking your advice.

My 2013 late MacBook Pro is getting rather long in the tooth and I am looking 
at upgrading.

The question is do I purchase a new Mac or heaven forbid  get a PC?

I don't mind Windows 10 but I would need to resurrect  JAWS license or perhaps 
use NVDA.

Would be using the new computer for office related tasks and XL.

As always your help is appreciated.

Re: New laptop.

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

I doubt it; Windows will, unfortunately, not be as power-efficient as OS X.

Still, you can reset SMC by shutting down the machine, disconnecting everything 
except power, then pressing Control+Option+Shift+Power.  Then reconnect and 
reboot and see if anything changed.

Re: Having Madbook ask for password only on opening?

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

This is doable, yes, and I have done it myself while travelling.

The trick here is to employ FileVault.  FileVault password prompts appear when 
the machine has gone to standby or hibernation.  Turn off all prompting inside 
OS X, and set up FileVault.  Then adjust your energy preferences using System 
Preferences to never go to sleep, and set your hibernation mode to hibernate 
using the command line and pmset tool.  Alternatively, using the same tool, set 
the standby delay to something low enough that it will kick in, but high enough 
that your Mac can sleep safely.  I prefer the first option, even though it does 
mean it takes longer to sleep and wake from hibernation.  Be aware that doing 
this also kills any feature that depends on sleep, for example network 
availability or PowerNap.

If you want to pursue this, let us know.

Re: New laptop.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Thanks Sabahattin.

To get something that even comes close to this Mac on the PC I'd have to 
spend quite a bit.


Boot Camp might be the way to go.

This way I'd get the productivity and still keep OS X around for 
recording podcasts  and what not.


Yours truly,

Sadam Ahmed

Hi Sadam,

As I see it, the main reason to get a Mac is OS X.  Yes, you can get a PC and 
save money, but Apple does design a superb combo of hardware and software, and 
if you get a Mac, you can use it regardless of whether or not you get Windows.  
You also get a nice, accessible safety net environment to use, and it’s easier 
to work with OS X on Mac hardware than on any other platform even if you later 
choose to use OS X as your secondary OS.  But it’s ultimately up to you.

If you’re sticking with your Mac, then your options are virtualisation with 
VMWare Fusion or BootCamp.  Virtualisation works for most light applications 
and is fairly easy to do, and BootCamp gives you full performance but requires 
you reboot into Windows to use it.  Office, at least, would be fine in a 
virtual machine.

Although Apple hardware’s relationship with Windows can best be described as 
temperamental cordiality, it does work very well.  Like others have said here, 
that MacBook that you have is really quite splendid and doesn’t yet need 
replacement, although as with all current Retina Macs it will be continuing 
without further upgrades until it reaches EOL.  While fiddly, nothing prevents 
you installing Windows on it and using it exclusively as a Windows box, and it 
might be your only option when Apple stops supporting OS X on your machine.  If 
you are planning on this route now, let us know and I can outline the 
procedure.  In this way you will not lose your investment in hardware and will 
probably get the best experience possible for Windows.  Win win.  Some would 
say I was irrational, but I’d think that option was preferable even if I stop 
using OS X altogether, because Apple hardware (especially notebooks) is really 
very good, and a long-term investment, regardless of its quirks.

For myself, my MacBook Pro 2014 is now running Windows 8.1 exclusively, and I’m 
quite enjoying it.  Although using Windows reminds me painfully of why I 
switched to Mac in the first place, with all that configuring and tweaking it 
needs just to be useful, it does work, and it shines with a powerful light.  
It’s too soon to convert my iMac, but I think Apple ultimately made the best 
compromise in BootCamp for modern versions of Windows.  Modern Windows is very 
large, has good hardware support, delivers good speeds, and is difficult to 
back up from outside Windows itself, so putting it in a partition and booting 
it is really a good idea.  The worst part about BootCamp is getting the bugger 
installed.  But there’s a preinstallation environment with NVDA that talks for 
getting the installation going, and if you know what you’re doing, you can use 
it to partition and install a dual-boot Windows install.  This I will be doing 
with my iMac once I have established what software I will be using in Windows.  
Oh, and yes, browsing the web actually works in Windows. :)

So, in summary, if you have determined that the majority or most common of your 
OS X apps are not meeting your needs, you probably want BootCamp.  But, if you 
like OS X and simply want a nice insulated Windows environment, you can use 
virtualisation to get access to just those apps, like Office.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Re: Having Madbook ask for password only on opening?

[Alex Hall]

Seems a bit complex, and I don't know about File Vault. The idea is to use 
MacID on iOS to unlock my Mac, but only when I lift the lid. I suppose I could 
set the display to sleep when open, but have the Mac never sleep. I'd be okay 
with that, unless OS X sees a dark screen as sleeping.

Re: Mixer and Mike recommendations for podcasting.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Thanks Cameron your help here is appreciated.

Will check those models out.

I reside in Australia so prices would be in AUD.

Pretty sure there are some DJ shops that can help me out.

Will also try Ebay.

Or, if you don't need tactile EQ etc, you could go for the Mackie Onyx
Blackbird which is a 24 bit firewire audio interface with eight Onyx
mic preamps, phantom power, midi ports etc. It goes for $500.

As far as budget friendly microphones, my top choices would be the
blue spark, AKG C214, and pretty much any large diaphragm condenser
microphone from studio projects or SE Electronics. Those microphones
range in price from around $150 to $400 and up, however, a microphone
above that price range would be overkill for standard podcast stuff
anyways. If you need cheaper microphones than that, let me know as
there are some tolerable options if you're really tight on money...

I'm based in the USA so prices probably will vary if you  live in

I do currently use Boot Camp and NVDA in the office.

I had a play around with pages and was actually pleasantly surprised that I'm

Learning that maybe an option.

This computer did cost me $2300 so replacing it would be an absolute last

Re: Having Madbook ask for password only on opening?

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

OK, yeah, that’s about the size of it.  Set display sleep to 1 (it won’t 
sleep), sleep itself to never.  Set a password to be required when sleep 
begins, and rely on lid closure to start sleep and thus require a password.  
You would then wake to an operational Mac that allows authentication with your 
iOS app, hopefully.  This is of course not quite as secure as using FileVault, 
but it will meet your requirements.

Re: Feedly on the mac

[Andrew Lamanche]

Ah, Thanks, Grant.  Do you mean that ReadKit somehow interfaces/interacts with 
Feedly and makes it more accessible?  Where can I learn more about this?

Many thanks,

Andrew

Re: Help from fellow academics out there? Desperate!

[Jim Gatteys]

Have you checked into LaTex for the mac?  Believe there is software for 
citations there.  It is a command line driven package so there's a lot to learn 
but it does work with voiceover.  I have not used it in a couple of years but I 
know they are still updating it.

Re: Help from fellow academics out there? Desperate!

[David Griffith]

When I did my PhD I submitted using a citation method which I think was 
called Chicago or was a variant of this.
Essentially this did not involve using any footnotes but simply gave 
authors name, year of publication and page number in the appropriate 
sections of the text. At  the end of each chapter there was a reference 
list of all the publications cited in the chapter . You could then 
easily track the full refernce from the author and date references in 
the text. So citing my PhD for example would be done by (Griffith 2013 
p347).


In the Reference section at the end of the chapter there would be
Griffith, David.  2013. Blind Justiceand so on.Only on very very 
rare occasions did I use footnotes as personally I find it stylistically 
clumsy. If you cannot refer to something logically and pertinently in 
the text then I cannot see why anybody should resort to using a footnote 
to cover up this clumsiness.


I tried out various bespoke notes applications and found them 
inaccessible and/or very difficult to use.


In the end I decided it was better to concentrate on writing a good PhD 
rather than getting hung up on citation systems.  Nobody ever commented 
adversely on my citation style.
I know different journals require differenct styles but in my area of 
Law/Social Policy they all seem to allow something like this. The 
advantage of this system of course is that it is accessible on all word 
processing platforms capable of being used by a Screenreader.

Hi,

Does anyone on the list use CllassicsOnlineHD.app?  If yes, what is your 
experience of it?  I've just installed it on my mac and it would appear to be 
utterly inaccessible.  Just e-mailed the developers.

Many thanks

I have also posted this to the diphone group.  I apologize for any 
duplification but thought there might be some on the other groups that aren’t

someone is sending texts claiming there is some problem with your account.  
They have a link they want you to click on but delete the text instead.

Re: Help from fellow academics out there? Desperate!

[Craig Werner]

Hello, Sarah.

I'm afraid I don't know of any software package that handles numerous
styles accessibly, but I can offer you a small dose of encouragement.
I had an academic career that ran from 1978-2011, and I hand-generated
citations and bibliographies as I went along without the benefit of
software, first on a manual typewriter, than on WordPerfect for DOS
and Word for Windows.  I only had to deal with MLA, I admit.

Re: Bowers and Wilkins Zeppelin Air.

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

I’m glad you have downloaded the app.  I have now put the speaker in my Amazon 
Save to later purchase as I too will be getting it when I can afford it.  
Probably either near to Christmas but still not sure.  The control App is very 
accessible and indeed there are a few unlabelled buttons.  When you get your 
system, you don’t have to plug anything in once it’s turned on.  All you do, 
turn the system on, make sure the reset button is pressed and open your control 
app and you should follow the instructions.  So far I’ve only found this brand 
of speaker where Voice Over will speak.  Not that I’ve tried other brands but I 
swear by Bowers and Wilkinsons and think it’s better than Bose as I think this 
one has a more richer sound.  Just my opinion of course.

Having Madbook ask for password only on opening?

[Alex Hall]

Hey all,
Quick question. On my Macbook, which is set to sleep after a certain amount of 
idle time, I'd like to only enter a password if I open it. If I leave it open 
for a while, I'm somewhere a password doesn't matter; if I'm not somewhere 
safe, I'll close it. Is such a thing doable, or does the Mac see sleep as sleep 
and not care about the lid? Thanks in advance.

Re: New laptop.

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Hi Sadam,

As I see it, the main reason to get a Mac is OS X.  Yes, you can get a PC and 
save money, but Apple does design a superb combo of hardware and software, and 
if you get a Mac, you can use it regardless of whether or not you get Windows.  
You also get a nice, accessible safety net environment to use, and it’s easier 
to work with OS X on Mac hardware than on any other platform even if you later 
choose to use OS X as your secondary OS.  But it’s ultimately up to you.

If you’re sticking with your Mac, then your options are virtualisation with 
VMWare Fusion or BootCamp.  Virtualisation works for most light applications 
and is fairly easy to do, and BootCamp gives you full performance but requires 
you reboot into Windows to use it.  Office, at least, would be fine in a 
virtual machine.

Although Apple hardware’s relationship with Windows can best be described as 
temperamental cordiality, it does work very well.  Like others have said here, 
that MacBook that you have is really quite splendid and doesn’t yet need 
replacement, although as with all current Retina Macs it will be continuing 
without further upgrades until it reaches EOL.  While fiddly, nothing prevents 
you installing Windows on it and using it exclusively as a Windows box, and it 
might be your only option when Apple stops supporting OS X on your machine.  If 
you are planning on this route now, let us know and I can outline the 
procedure.  In this way you will not lose your investment in hardware and will 
probably get the best experience possible for Windows.  Win win.  Some would 
say I was irrational, but I’d think that option was preferable even if I stop 
using OS X altogether, because Apple hardware (especially notebooks) is really 
very good, and a long-term investment, regardless of its quirks.

For myself, my MacBook Pro 2014 is now running Windows 8.1 exclusively, and I’m 
quite enjoying it.  Although using Windows reminds me painfully of why I 
switched to Mac in the first place, with all that configuring and tweaking it 
needs just to be useful, it does work, and it shines with a powerful light.  
It’s too soon to convert my iMac, but I think Apple ultimately made the best 
compromise in BootCamp for modern versions of Windows.  Modern Windows is very 
large, has good hardware support, delivers good speeds, and is difficult to 
back up from outside Windows itself, so putting it in a partition and booting 
it is really a good idea.  The worst part about BootCamp is getting the bugger 
installed.  But there’s a preinstallation environment with NVDA that talks for 
getting the installation going, and if you know what you’re doing, you can use 
it to partition and install a dual-boot Windows install.  This I will be doing 
with my iMac once I have established what software I will be using in Windows.  
Oh, and yes, browsing the web actually works in Windows. :)

So, in summary, if you have determined that the majority or most common of your 
OS X apps are not meeting your needs, you probably want BootCamp.  But, if you 
like OS X and simply want a nice insulated Windows environment, you can use 
virtualisation to get access to just those apps, like Office.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Re: Mixer and Mike recommendations for podcasting.

[Sadam Ahmed]

Just one more thing...

Do I need  a special cable to connect the mixer to the Mac?

On 11/2/2015 1:25 PM, Cameron Strife wrote:

Hi. You could go for the Mackie Onyx 1220I which is a small format
mixer with four Onyx mic preamps, line in inputs, EQ, phantom power,
and a built in 24 bit firewire audio interface. It goes for $650.

Or, if you don't need tactile EQ etc, you could go for the Mackie Onyx
Blackbird which is a 24 bit firewire audio interface with eight Onyx
mic preamps, phantom power, midi ports etc. It goes for $500.

As far as budget friendly microphones, my top choices would be the
blue spark, AKG C214, and pretty much any large diaphragm condenser
microphone from studio projects or SE Electronics. Those microphones
range in price from around $150 to $400 and up, however, a microphone
above that price range would be overkill for standard podcast stuff
anyways. If you need cheaper microphones than that, let me know as
there are some tolerable options if you're really tight on money...

I'm based in the USA so prices probably will vary if you  live in
another country.
