Large print window mural5/2/2023 There were six different local scenes and if you could tick them all off you could win a free night. The hotel had recently installed large format murals printed onto 2 metre high plastic panels over the baths in its rooms. The mural looks great from the opposite side of the bathroom.Ī recent stay in a hotel in England provided a prime example of a great idea that could have been even better. Part 1 here looks at the issues of image resolution in photographs, while Part 2 looks at “artefacts,” and how to control them. Then tell them how much you’re going to charge to make it better, and hopefully they’ll send you a better image next time. To back this up without going to the expense of printing whole murals to prove your point, use a small desktop printer to output small sections of important details in the image at the same magnification factor, to show what it will look like before and after you’ve applied your magic touch. If there’s no better resolution image available, you should explain that it’s going to look horrible if you print it as-is, but there are some techniques you can use to improve it. In this pair of stories we’ll look at why photographic images may not work at very large sizes, and how to work with photographers and designers to ensure that the images supplied have the best chance of looking good. What to do if an image your customer really wants to use is one you know will look awful at the desired enlargement factor?įirst of all, ask if that is the original image file, and if not could you have it please? That may work as long as there hasn’t been image editing applied to the low res but not the high res. It’s not an issue of large format inkjet printers producing relatively low print resolutions, as most of them are more than good enough for mural work, provided the original image file is fit for the purpose. This means that designers need to pay particular attention to original image resolution, because a picture that looks great on-screen may end up as a jagged mess when blown up to cover a wall. However, unlike the images on billboards and many posters, these graphics are often viewed very close-up, whether by intention or accident. Done properly, they can look stunning as posters, murals and wallpaper. Very large custom printed murals, soft signage lightboxes and wallpaper are increasingly popular applications of large format graphics. ![]() ![]() ![]() What to do if an image your customer really, really wants to use is one you know will look awful at the desired enlargement factor? Simon Eccles finds out more.

![]() Today, I want to talk about what fear is. Who knows after today, I might run out of stuff to talk about? I doubt it. I'm thinking two to three episodes, possibly, so we'll see how this plays out. So, a multi-episode series on freedom from fear. And then I thought, this is where I really want to go with the podcasts and I think this is going to be, I'm not positive, but I'm thinking this is going to be like a multi-episode series. Start there, of course, examine my own fears. I thought I've really got to examine my own fears. There's a lot of global collective fears that we're all facing. I've never seen it quite like this before. It's part of the human experience.Īnd with what's happened in 2020, with the pandemic and the election, and just all of the things, I'd say primarily, it really started in March when COVID hit but I think that, collectively, our society and not just in one country, but globally, there is this collective fear of the unknown, the fear of the unknown, the fear of what's going on right now, the fear of the divisiveness in at least here in America, in our country where it's divided. Realizing that we are all afraid of different things. Maybe it was before the movie premiere, so maybe a week ago, and I've been thinking about what I was going to record for this podcast episode, and it just hit me as I was falling asleep, one word, and that was fear. That's when I have a lot of ideas for podcasts, and this is where this came from, which is why I'm bringing this up. You start to hear, you start to tap into that infinite intelligence, your inner intelligence as well. So, you start to hear those whispers of intuition. But the state that you start to hear kind of the whispers and the wisdom. I just lay there and I think thoughts of gratitude and for whatever reason, I think it's because the brain starts to fall asleep. And just so you know, you may or may not know this, when I'm falling asleep at night, I get in a real meditative state. Today, we're going to dive into the topic of fear. We're working on Netflix and Hulu and all that stuff but who knows how far off that is. If you want to grab a copy, you can get it on Amazon Prime Video or on Vimeo as well. So, anyway, thank you again for those of you that have experienced the movie, and it's now on Vimeo and Amazon. Especially when I was in the hospital fighting cancer, it was like the movie felt so far away of something that would ever even happen or come true. I don't know about you, but you’ve worked on a goal for so long and you worked so hard that it felt like it might never happen and I think that I had that feeling a lot over these last six years. It feels kind of surreal that it happened after six years of working on it. I won't say it couldn't have gone better because there's always little things that you think of, “Oh, we should have done that differently.” But for the most part, I'm so grateful. I think we have just under 10,000 people that have joined the world premiere and people are still getting the replay, which that's not available as of yesterday but, yeah, what an exciting event. I'm still kind of reeling off of the Miracle Morning Movie World Premiere that happened on Saturday. I don't know about you, but I just had a movie come out on Saturday. Thank YOU for paying it forward! :^)ĬOMMENT QUESTION: What is your big takeaway? Write it in the comments below. If you enjoyed this post and received value from this episode, please leave a quick comment below and SHARE with your friends. How to avoid spending unnecessarily time in the fear state, even as you face intense challenges, trauma, and setbacks.Why it’s not possible to be “fearless” but it is to fear less – and how to take a 20,000 foot view to understand and use your fears to your advantage.Why fear is a self-created, intangible illusion – and how to use self-love and thinking from a place of power to transcend it.What exactly fear is, when it serves us, and when it doesn’t.The difference between “unconscious” fears and “conscious” fears.We’re going to talk about what fear really is, what causes it, how it affects us, and how you can break free from fear. Today’s episode is the first in a two-part series. Right now, there’s a global collective fear of the unknown like never before, as well as our individual fears (both conscious and unconscious) that we each need to examine, understand, and free ourselves from. However, fear can also become destructive and detrimental to our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. In fact, fear is what helps to protect us. It’s a natural part of the human experience.

Jiffy lube prices5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() At the end of the investigation, Jiffy Lube installed cameras in their stores to allow customers to observe repairs. After the investigation aired, Jiffy Lube claimed to perform sweeping changes to their training program to prevent this, though among the training tactics, was having workers recognize the tactics of an investigative reporter and evade further scrutiny. During the investigation, five out of nine Jiffy Lube locations charged undercover reporters for work that was not performed. In 2003, Jiffy Lube was the focus of a KNBC investigative report that alleged that Jiffy Lube was charging customers for services not performed. The OCS program moves away from the old model of changing oil every 3,000 miles and provides a schedule that is unique for each driver. The new program allows Jiffy Lube customers to choose how often they have their oil changed based on a number of variables including vehicle manufacturer recommendations, driving habits, and road conditions. In June 2011, Jiffy Lube introduced a new program called Oil Change Schedule (OCS). Pennzoil-Quaker State was ultimately purchased by Shell Oil Company in 2002. įollowing the merger of Pennzoil and Quaker State in 1998, the 581 Q Lube stores were merged into the Jiffy Lube brand, then possessing 1,541 stores, with overlapping operations being closed down. In 1991, Jiffy Lube became a subsidiary of Pennzoil. Jiffy Lube went public in 1987, and had opened over 1,019 franchises and company stores by 1989. ![]() It is this year which Jiffy Lube generally states as its founding date with Hindman as its founder. James Hindman, a football coach at Western Maryland College, bought out Washburn's seven franchises and established Jiffy Lube International, relocating the headquarters to Baltimore, Maryland. Over the following years, Washburn franchised a number of Jiffy Lube stores within Utah. The first Jiffy Lube store was established on 36th Street in Ogden, Utah by Edwin H. Also, Jiffy Lube was ranked number 15 in Entrepreneur Magazine 's 2012 Franchise 500 and number 73 on Franchise Times ' 2011 Top 200 Franchise Chains by Worldwide Sales. The company was ranked first on National Oil and Lube News 2011 Tops in the Fast Lubes Industry Rankings. There are about 2,000 Jiffy Lube franchises in North America, all of them independently owned by 252 operators, with about 24 million customers each year as of 2002.

Smartgit takes took long5/1/2023 ![]() Instead of an obscure series of four to six commands, you simply go to SmartGit's log view and drag the branch markers to where you want them. Take "I accidentally committed something to master that should have been on a brand new branch!" or "I accidentally committed to the wrong branch!" for example. I've been using SmartGit for years and would never go back to the weak sauce of the command line, except for a few odd things that SmartGit doesn't cover (like bisect).Įvery one of the tasks in the article is a simple, straightforward operation in SmartGit. At this point - I never reach for the git cli over gitup (except when cloning a new repo). There are good keyboard shortcuts for everything in gitup so most everything I do doesn't even involve the mouse.Īlso - I'm the kind of person who's always got a set of terminal windows open and definitely uses them often (almost never use Finder, hate taking my hands off the keyboard to reach for the trackpad). Honestly I'm not aware of any common repo tasks that I could more efficiently complete via the command line vs gitup. Once I have the most useful buffers in the right windows, with maybe some reasonable things in the editor navigation stack - changing the editor views at that point comes with a pretty high risk of straying off task - or operating for awhile with the non optimal set of editor windows in front of my face - which at some point I'll realize is dumb/wastes energy and fix - but energy was already spent in the meanwhile. More often than not navigating to most relevant diffs within the ide would actually involve more expensive context switching - for me I'm discovering that it's always somewhat high risk to switch editor contexts - editing text is just such a powerful interface that it tends to easily lead down rabbit holes that take me further from the most relevant info for my current task context. I regularly use three editors when working on different platforms - Xcode, android studio, atom - sometimes it's convenient to use in ide repo-driven features (blame, sometimes historical diffs for a single file), however very often I'm actually more interested in quickly seeing diffs for files other than the one(s) I'm currently editing - so switching to a separate app context that's all about showing repo info tends to be the fastest way to see the relevant info I want side by side without changing away from the editing context I want. ![]() In reality though - i really like having the separate window - it's always there, does one thing and does it well, and it's easy to switch to when I want to take a look at the state of my repo/upstream branches/any dirtiness in my checkout (what exactly have I done recently?). ![]() I imagined that the ideal place for featureful visualization/interaction with the repo would be in the text editor/ide. It wasn't about switching window context away from the terminal but rather switching away from the text editor. I actually used to think similarly before I found git up - although to me Ive taken designers from "never used git" to confidently pushing, pulling, rebasing, and resolving conflicts in less than a day (and most of it after the first 10 minutes without outside help). And with the graphical reflog history rollback view - it's always really easy to back up however far you want if you mess up which gives great confidence as you explore the ui's features. I love this tool - it's honestly one of the best graphical tools I've ever used - rock solid reliable - intuitive, not leaky in the abstractions it represents - and not limited to only "simple" operations. The value of having a graphical depiction of the state that's changing as you invoke operations should not be underestimated. Distributed vc is conceptually nuanced, but not overly complicated - the complexity of git really is in the interface wherein you are asked to map command line syntax into abstract operations that manipulate a state that you actually can't easily see from the command line. Its true - and actually the well designed gui that accurately depicts the graphical state of your local repository makes it far easier to learn the concepts behind git than does the command line.

Nerf rebelle strong heart bow5/1/2023 ![]() It comes with five collectible darts and will retail for $19.99. Despite the small size, it can send foam darts flying at targets up to 75 feet away. Designed for one-handed firing, you use your thumb to ready the pistol by pulling on a lever and then hitting the trigger to fire. The Nerf Rebelle Alpha Girl Mission Kit is a small pistol with a five-dart revolving barrel. It won’t have the same smartphone cradle and app (as of now, at least), but it comes with a bunch of accessories for your gaming enjoyment, including a belt-clip hip holster and Nerf Rebelle Vision Gear eyewear. In case you still want that Rebelle signature dolled-up deco, though, the Nerf Rebelle Alpha Girl Mission Kit should suit you better.Ī pistol designed to be used with one hand, it takes on the same feminine styling as the other weapons, complete with purple and magenta accents. If you prefer to shoot it up cowgirl-style, then skip the bows and go for a standard Nerf. The game is free to download, but it requires use of the Rebelle smartphone cradle, which will retail for $14.99. Game features include a personalized avatar, multi-player gameplay, real-time capture of stills and videos, and more. It comes with six collectible darts and will be priced at $24.99.ĭesigned to work with both the Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow and the Nerf Rebelle Crossbow (as of now, they are the only two blasters confirmed for compatibility), the Mission Central app lets players go on quests and battles, shooting virtual arrows using their very real Nerf weapons. Want to fire multiple darts at once? Keep your hold on the trigger and pump the slide handle - that should do the trick. Like the bow, it can send the soft-impact ammunition soaring to distances of up to 75 feet. To use, slide the front handle to flex the bow arms back, then pull the trigger to send the projectiles ricocheting one at a time. The Nerf Rebelle Crossbow features a front-loaded barrel that can hold six foam darts at a time. It will also come with optional accessories, including a smartphone cradle for sniping at virtual targets from the upcoming mobile game. Like the Bow, this one goes heavy on the pink and purple, with a rotating barrel system similar to many Nerf pistols. Not a fan of that old Robin Hood stick with a drawstring weapons system? If you prefer shooting with a burly stock for more accurate aiming, then the Nerf Rebelle Crossbow should be your foam-firing weapon of choice. The Nerf Rebelle Alpha Heartbreak Bow, which comes with five collectible darts, will retail for $19.99. Each dart will need to be loaded individually, although you can keep five at a time on a storage compartment right on the bow for easy reloading. When your target is in the crosshairs, pull back on the drawstring and release to launch your foam arrow at the target over distances of up to 75 feet. To use the Nerf Rebelle Alpha Heartbreak Bow, just load one of the darts in the front and take aim. Plus, the bow will be customizable with numerous add-ons Hasbro plans to release down the line (OMG, I just want multi-colored ribbons and a Hello Kitty with a flower on her head, pleeeez), as well as a smartphone app and a mounting cradle for your phone. And, yes, it loads heavy on the pink hue and girlish accents. The bow is clad in an undeniably feminine design, looking almost like a bird with outstretched wings. We’re guessing that’s the extent of the brainstorming process for the Nerf Rebelle Alpha Heartbreaker Bow, which lets you do the whole Katniss Everdeen thing with foam arrows. But that Hunger Games thing with crossbows and stuff - yeah, that will work. Most girls don’t care much for movies with machine guns and rocket grenades. Granted, these toys will likely stir some controversy for the gender stereotyping, but it’s not like that’s anything new, right? Read on below to see all the stuff you can you look forward to in the Nerf Rebelle line. Oh yeah, they’re integrating it with social gaming aspects, too, making the whole thing a lot more suited to modern casual play than plain old “shoot em ups” the way boys like it. And while foam warfare has largely been the domain of boys (and men who act like boys), the Nerf Rebelle, which Hasbro is launching this Fall, will seek to balance out the scales.Īimed squarely at girls, the foam-firing weapons bring the same high-performance action as regular Nerfs but augment it with a more stylish design based on current pop culture trends (basically, whatever young girls like at the moment, so a Justin Bieber - or more like Selena Gomez - target isn’t completely out of the question). Well, I actually don’t know that, but everyone deserves to get rid of pent-up aggression by blasting foam projectiles into their targets of choice. ![]() And they can do it with the rage of a thousand scorned wives. |
