![]() I have my gripes with Adobe from my daily work in a number of other apps but as you said, in terms of expense this is a cheap one in photography. Theres too much lightroom has going in it to give it up, and with just that app I'll get a terabyte of storage which supports the iPad flow kindly nicely. I think affinity photo replaces Photoshop on the iPad really well, and after playing around further with lightroom using my work subscription, I think I'll get myself a personal sub for lightroom only. Beyond that I'll move into Photoshop if there are any real "changes" to be made. It's a lot of images with a bit of global adjustments. Though that only goes as far as adjustment and some skin/masking stuff. Interesting, I do all my editing for my work in lightroom classic on my office machine. Still, the app is continually updated and as it’s a subscription model they do have some incentive to keep adding features, especially as upstarts like serif/affinity start encroaching on their space. On the desktop I use LR classic, not CC (cloud version) as I have many terabytes worth of photos and I’m not about to pay cloud storage to adobe for that. I find their cloud syncing system clunky and sometimes buggy. I want full metadata editing (and batch editing of metadata) and it won’t do that (yet). That being said I do have a few gripes with the mobile application: Bad export support - I want to be able to export full size TIFF files. I have no problem with that as the cost is minimal compared to every other cost in professional photography. It’s a great application but it does require adobe’s subscription. If you need to do a deep dive and heavy retouching on individual images, though, you’re often better off in Affinity or Photoshop. This is why lightroom has great built in batch adjustment and keyword capabilities. This is why lightroom is built on a library structure. That means you dump everything from your session into lightroom and you use the app primarily to organize, rate, cull rejects and fine tune your hero images from that shoot. However from my perspective lightroom is primarily designed as a shoot editor. For a great number of people LR will handle all your needs and there’s no reason to do further work in Affinity or PS. To clarify yes, lightroom’s individual image editing features are continually getting better and more robust. I feel it’s important to distinguish between a photo editing application (photoshop proper, affinity photo) and a shoot editingapplication such as lightroom. Pro photographer here who does 90% of his work on the iPad these days. ![]() While in New York, Wright designed a line of fabrics for Schumacher and furniture for Heritage-Henredon. While designing Tirranna, Wright spent long stretches of time in New York at his Plaza Hotel apartment overseeing the construction of the Guggenheim Museum. Construction drawings and supervision were done by Connecticut architect Allan Gelbin, a great fan of Wright’s work and a talented designer in his own right. Wright’s apprentice John DeKoven Hill oversaw the construction of the house and all of the built-ins. Tirranna is constructed of standard concrete block, Phillippine mahagony, glass, and Colorundrum flooring. William Allin Storrer has provided a detailed description of the construction of the house in “The Frank Lloyd Wright Companion” (University of Chicago Press, 1994). In those early days there were no Japanese-style bridges to cross the river, and Jennifer and her sister carefully navigated a rock walkway in the shallow ford below the dam to get across. Jennifer recalls their playful environment, the swimming pool, and the pond, which changed throughout seasons. In 1957 he designed a cinderblock playhouse for them, complete with a ladder to a small rooftop deck. The Rayward daughters, Jennifer and Victoria, remember the adventure of living in the house and meeting Wright. To maximize the natural light, a concave wall of glass (which Wright dubbed a “solar hemicycle”) follows the movement of the sun. A circular swimming pool projects into the pond, with the house and terrace overlooking it. Wright situated the house on the edge of the river, which he dammed to create a waterfall and pond. The house originally sat on 32 wooded acres on the Noroton River. ![]() Wright, who liked to title his buildings, named the house “Tirranna,” an Australian aboriginal term for “running waters.” During the last 60 years the house has evolved through four owners into a sprawling, 15,000-square-foot estate.Īs always, Wright’s philosophy was to let the design respond to the site and to interact with nature. Since its construction in 1955, the Rayward house has been a mystery for many and, except for a few photographs, has generally remained hidden from the public. ![]() To their amazement, Jennifer recalls, Wright said yes. Joyce encouraged her husband to send a letter to Wright to see if he might consider designing their house. As their daughter Jennifer remembers, her father did not think that an architect of Wright’s stature and fame would be interested in designing a small project for them. They came across the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and were immediately attracted to his human approach. In the early 1950s John Robert Rayward and his wife Joyce Rayward were searching for an architect to design a modern home for their family in New Canaan, Connecticut. ![]() ![]() Why Am I Qualified to Talk About Atticus? Because if you didn't spend the time or used a tool like Atticus to make your book look nice, that pulls the reader out of the reading experience, which is the last thing we want to do. This tool will not only make it easier to format books, but it will keep readers from leaving your poor reviews because you had a poorly-formatted book. Things like chapter headers, titles over the pages, a complex table of contents, and more.Īnd honestly, to get these features, I realized that most tools were either too complicated (like Adobe InDesign) or they were too expensive (like Vellum). Why Have an Interior Formatting Software?Īll you have to do these days is open a book and you'll see a ton of things you may not have noticed before. Want more videos like this one? Be sure to check out my YouTube channel. However, one day it will be the all-in-one solution for writing, formatting, and collaborating.Ītticus not only has a ton of features at launch, but also boasts a HUGE number of upcoming features that will make it the be-all, end-all of writing software. ![]() Autosave, Cloud Storage, and BackupsĪtticus is a software that currently gives authors an excellent way to write, and format their books at a lower cost and with equal results as a program like Vellum. So, in this review, I will not only show you what we've done so far, but what we're working on, and how we'll get there. When describing Atticus I like to tell people, “If Scrivener, Google Docs and Vellum got together and had a baby, its name would be Atticus.” My true dream in building Atticus is to actually create a software where authors can plan, plot, outline, write, collaborate and format all in one place. Well, that's exactly what we just did by making Atticus.io.īut as you'll see in this review of Atticus, we're not just going to stop at formatting. So, this got me thinking…what if I could create an easy-to-use software that helped authors format unique, beautiful and professional ebooks and books, have it work on all computers and not just Mac, be much cheaper and add more features and capabilities not currently offered? Plus, it's really only for formatting and doesn't offer anything else beyond that. However, Vellum only works on Mac, and is extremely costly. For years, authors really only had one efficient and effective way to personally format professional books and that was by using a software called Vellum. ![]() The reviewer pictured in the false ad is Kate Gosselin, the reality TV star whose bilevel hairdo became a signature of “Karens,” the nickname on social media for White female consumers prone to making baseless complaints. Raydiant has posted billboards on pedicabs in San Diego, buildings in San Francisco and taxi cabs in New York featuring what Yelp officials say is a fictional one-star review made to look like it was published on the Yelp platform, about a fake restaurant from a customer named Karen in San Diego’s Sherman Heights neighborhood. I had half a Turkey Cobb sandwich which was absolutely delicious. ![]() ![]() Con Pane was so good when I stopped in with my sister and my niece that i decided to bring my husband down for lunch. But the advertising campaign for the newly launched petition, Karen’s Killer Reviews, has Yelp officials seeing red. Yelp - Porch and Parlor, Itta Bena, Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar. 5 star 941 4 star 372 3 star 116 2 star 82 1 star 103 Tiffany Y. To battle these business-damaging, one- and two-star reviews, a Bay area sign company named Raydiant has launched a national petition to stop review sites like Yelp! and Tripadvisor from publishing reviews for delivery issues that are not the restaurants’ fault. A 5 surcharge will be added to all Guest checks to help cover increasing costs and in support of the recent increases to minimum wage and benefits for our dedicated Team Members. The pandemic has put the nation’s restaurant industry on the ropes, and many owners say a rise in negative online consumer reviews related to poor delivery service by third-party apps is hitting them below the belt. ![]()
Inmates at the Saginaw County Jail in Saginaw, Mich. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. The inmates at a central Minnesota jail have new colorful uniforms. Michigan inmates to get black-and-white striped uniforms. The pants are black with a thick gold stripe, the reverse of their normal gold pants. The numerals are in gold as well, although in the traditional block font instead of Futura Condensed. “We want a prisoner to look like a prisoner, to smell like a prisoner and taste like a prisoner,” McInnis said then. The jerseys feature the same stripes as the standard black jersey, with the only change being that the white stripes are now also gold. McInnis said then that humiliation was the point. The late Mack McInnis, a Lucedale Democrat helped push through the stripes requirement in 1994. Hall says the Department of Corrections spends more than $600,000 annually on uniforms, and a onetime changeover would cost about $400,000 more. 1 In America, examples of black-and-white striped inmate uniforms and prison staff uniforms can be found in the Albany Training Academy at The New York State Department of Correctional Services. She says striped uniforms are outdated and stigmatize prisoners. Large arrow shapes were stamped in ink randomly over the outer surface of coarse prison garments. Hall: “We are looking at basically how to bring a level of humanity to the process of rehabilitation." /0Rl9zIT0Sm- MDOC January 31, 2019Ĭorrections Commissioner Pelicia Hall is pushing the move. The House Corrections Committee has OK'd her ask to remove stripes & "convict" from prisoners' clothing. The various wrist bands that prisoners wear are also significant and have certain meanings, if the shirt color is not a clue enough. Someone held in contempt of court (a judge) will be fitted with a red shirt. The codes 2X, 3X, and 187 will be placed on the wristband as appropriate.Commissioner Hall: Incarcerated persons in MS should wear a new uniform. But in some places, wearing black and white stripes means the inmate is convicted of violent crimes. A worker at a court will wear a white shirt. One such emblematic flag that has stirred strong reactions over the years is the black and white American flag. PURPLE - For inmates determined to be potential two or three strike inmates, and all homicide suspects. Modern black and white flags in America can represent political engagement, cultural expression, advertising and branding, or even military units. ![]() Other inmates who have no bail or a bail lower than one million dollars may also be classified as K-6 (Green) by Inmate Reception Center or the Men's Central Jail Watch Commander. The show has been such a hit since launching in 2013 that some prison authorities decided it had made the orange jumpsuit too cool, and have reverted to black and white stripes. These inmates shall wear green wristbands and receive a K-6 High Bail Special Handling designation. GREEN - Any inmate whose bail is one million dollars or more will be identified at Inmate Reception Center when he is booked into the system. The code designations appearing on yellow bands apply only to yellow bands and have a different meaning on bands of other colors: In 2014, the sheriff of Saginaw County, Michigan decided to change the uniforms for prisoners from orange to black-and-white stripes. ![]() They were conspicuous enough to minimize the risks of inmate escape attempts. The black and white striped uniform became popular in the history of incarceration, thanks to the visual media’s vast referencing and occasional parodying at the time. RED - Used exclusively for inmates that must be escorted at all times.īLUE - For inmates that are of a lesser risk than red bands but still require special security measures. By 1815, the uniform had evolved the black and white striped inmate outfits. ![]() “2021 promises to be even bigger, as Covid woes continue to amplify those trends and more people become aware that no-alcohol doesn’t have to mean no-flavor and no fun.” “2020 was a breakout year for the NA (nonalcoholic) category, with multiple trends (sober curious, healthy living, doing more) converging to drive 38% growth overall, and triple-digit growth within craft NA’s,” says Brooklyn Brewery CEO Eric Ottaway. ![]() Consumer interest should only accelerate in 2021. The result was robust sales for these beers last year. “Non-alcoholic craft beers can offer drinkers a different type of refreshment for occasions where alcoholic craft beers might not hit the spot, while allowing them to stay true to their lifestyle choices.” “Today’s consumer, especially those Millennial drinkers, are much more focused on wellness,” says Dogfish Head Founder and CEO Sam Calagione. “That’s the same reason why, I think, we are going to see more, younger drinkers turning to non-alcoholic beers,” he adds. “They seek to lead active, well-balanced lifestyles that include both exercise and indulgence, and they are looking for products that fit into and reflect that lifestyle choice: low-calorie beers, non-alcoholic beers, hard seltzers and more.” “Today’s consumer, especially those Millennial drinkers, are much more focused on wellness,” Calagione says. After all, the “ healthier for you” trend has permeated most food and beverage categories. “Drinkers are reaching for AF options because they are sick of hangovers, want to be mindful of their consumption or be more health-conscious - the list goes on.”ĭogfish Head Founder and CEO Sam Calagione agrees that the health-conscious aspect is key. “The demographic for AF beers is wide,” Block says. We think that closing the gap between ‘regular’ and AF options is a big reason why AF beers are gaining popularity.”Īnother question is: Who drinks these beers? You can crack open a Nanny State or Punk AF and taste all the positive characteristics of a beer, but without the alcohol. “As a brewery that wants to make people passionate about craft beer - with and without alcohol - we made a point to offer some of the best AF beers on the market to change that perspective. “AF (alcohol-free) beers didn’t always have a good rep,” says Jason Block, CEO of BrewDog USA. ![]() In years past, these beverages tasted watery, lacking full flavors of beer. Not until recently, however, did it explode into the mainstream. The trend of lower- or no-ABV beers has been in the works for years. “If we can prove over the period of a year-and-a-half, or longer, that there aren’t huge safety issues, then maybe we can make these things permanent.” Low-ABV, Non-ABV Beers “It’s on us as brewers and retailers to utilize our rights and do these things safely,” Hendler says. Not when so many consumers have grown accustomed to this modern way of shopping.īut will state governments still allow these additional business avenues? Will special allowances permitted for the pandemic - curbside, DTC, cocktails-to-go - remain after the health crisis ends? “But I do think we’re going to see the ecommerce bit stick around significantly.”Īfter the pandemic subsides, it’s unlikely that current ecommerce trends will suddenly reverse. “Even if the ecommerce options only see a small number of users stick around after the pandemic, that that will still make a meaningful impact,” he adds. In the first eight weeks of Covid-19, we saw decades worth of ecommerce adaptation in the industry.” Anything that helps brewers connect directly with their consumers - even the breweries’ own websites. “Especially platforms that are more retail-specific, like Drizly and Oznr. “Ecommerce has been hugely important,” he says. “Online, drive-through, curbside, beer gardens in parking lots, direct shipping.”Īgreeing with Hendler is Trace Smith, CEO of Next Glass, which owns Untappd, BeerAdvocate, Oznr and Hop Culture. Nobody had a plan for a global pandemic.” “The biggest story for 2021 will be creating ways for access to market,” says Sam Hendler, co-founder of Jack’s Abby Craft Lagers. “You saw a lot of cool things in craft beer as people adapted to the new environment,” he adds. ![]() Nextel affected the cellular phone market in several ways. Later, Nextel would use the push-to-talk feature as a key marketing advantage. Initially, FleetCall did not want to include the push to talk feature in their phones, but the FCC required it as the initial frequencies were licensed for dispatch use. These "non-cellular" frequencies were made usable for a consumer and business wireless voice telephone service with the iDEN technology developed by Motorola, which some observers at the time said would not be practical. The core of the business model was to buy these fleet dispatch frequencies from existing operators at a substantial discount when compared to the cost for the equivalent bandwidth available via auction from the Federal Communications Commission. The founders chose the name "FleetCall" because the company's network used the 800 MHz Specialized Mobile Radio frequencies designated by the Federal Communications Commission for use in fleet dispatch. ![]() Other early investors and employees include Mark Warner, now a United States Senator from Virginia, and Jack Markell, the former Governor of Delaware. In 1995, wireless industry pioneer Craig McCaw became a significant investor in the company. FleetCall changed its name to Nextel Communications in 1993. O'Brien and Chris Rogers and investment bankers Brian McAuley and Peter Reinheimer founded FleetCall in 1987. The Nextel network was officially shut down at 12:01am on June 30, 2013, and Sprint began the process of deploying LTE equipment on the 800MHz spectrum formerly used by the iDEN network.īefore the acquisition by T-Mobile US, Sprint Corporation continued to offer pre-paid services under the Boost Mobile brand and also offered push-to-talk services as Sprint Direct Connect using CDMA equipment. In late 2010, Sprint Nextel announced plans to decommission the Nextel iDEN network on May 30, 2012, Sprint Nextel announced that it would shut down the Nextel network as early as June 2013. offered postpaid services under the Nextel brand and prepaid services under the Boost Mobile brand. Īt the time of its 2005 merger with Sprint Corp., Nextel had over twenty million subscribers in the United States and served 198 of the top 200 markets. Nextel was headquartered in Reston, Virginia, United States. Shares traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NXTL. Prior to merging with Sprint Corporation in 2005, Nextel Communications, Inc. Nextel was one of the first providers in the United States to offer a national digital cellular coverage footprint. Nextel's iDEN network offered a then unique push-to-talk "walkie-talkie" feature in addition to direct-dialed voice calls. Nextel's network operated in the 800-MHz Specialized Mobile Radio band and used iDEN technology developed by Motorola. Nextel provided digital, wireless communications services, originally focusing on the fleet and dispatch customers, but later marketed to all potential wireless customers. ![]() FleetCall changed its name to Nextel Communications, Inc. Nextel Communications traces its roots to the 1987 foundation of FleetCall by Morgan O'Brien, Brian McAuley, Chris Rogers, and Peter Reinheimer. Nextel in Brazil, and formerly in Argentina, Chile, Peru, the Philippines, and Mexico, is part of NII Holdings, a stand-alone, publicly traded company not owned by Sprint Corporation. was an American wireless service operator that merged with and ceased to exist as a subsidiary of Sprint Corporation, which would later be bought by T-Mobile US and folded into that company. ![]() Lost to enemy action: depth-charged by kaibōkan Okinawa, CD-63, CD-75, CD-158, and CD-207 Lost to enemy action by destroyers Isokaze and Maikaze Lost to enemy action by torpedo boat Hiyodori and submarine chaser No. The other thirty-three lost submarines are known to have been sunk by the Japanese. Īnother eight submarines went missing while on patrol and are presumed to have been sunk by Japanese mines, as there are no known Japanese anti-submarine attacks in their patrol areas. ![]() Two – Dorado (SS-248) and Seawolf (SS-197) – were lost to friendly fire (though there is speculation that the Dorado may have struck a German mine), at least three more – Tulibee, Tang, and Grunion – to defective torpedoes, and six to accident or grounding. įifty-two submarines of the United States Navy were lost during World War II. Some 16,000 submariners served during the war, of whom 375 officers and 3,131 enlisted men were killed, the highest casualty rate of any American force in World War II. Navy's submarine service suffered the highest casualty percentage of all the American armed forces, losing one in five submariners.
