![]() ![]() If you aren’t quite sure how to measure inseam and rise, or maybe you just want a simplified template to follow each time, check out Size.ly. If you are reselling clothing online, buyers are going to want measurements. ![]() I like using Keep as opposed to some of the other list-making apps out there because I don’t have to sign up for yet another service. Set time-based or location-based reminders. Share those lists with your friends or family members. Keep is a free app from Google that allows you to make lists and take notes on your phone. You can also take photos of your receipts and link up your business bank accounts to save even more time and headaches. Now, as soon as I get to my car, I can log that expense on my phone. You don’t want to forget what you paid for stuff. This has been so helpful as I buy a lot of things from garage sales and don’t always get them listed or inventoried right away. I love that I can track expenses on the go. Other trips you can review in the app and mark accordingly. You can set up frequent destinations to automatically be categorized as business or personal. It can also track your mileage automatically. You can do everything from tracking expenses to sending invoices right from your smartphone. What I love about QuickBooks Self-Employed is the streamlined and simplified app. Luckily, their new Self-Employed version does. I have long been a QuickBooks user, but their traditional online version doesn’t include mileage tracking at this time. That brought me to QuickBooks Self-Employed. Needless to say, it didn’t take very long for that to fall way behind. I started off with paper and pen trying to transfer everything to a spreadsheet. And, if you are in the business of reselling, you may be able to write those miles off when filing your taxes. You can put on a lot of miles sourcing for resale items, picking up supplies and dropping off packages. Open the Airtable app and you will know whether to Accept, Counter or Decline. This comes in handy when on the road and an offer comes in on an item and you can’t quite remember how much you paid for it or how much you need to sell it for to turn a profit. ![]() It’s the reason I use it for tracking my Poshmark inventory and sales.Īirtable also has an app that allows you to view and edit your spreadsheets, or Bases, anytime and anywhere. They offer additional functionality that isn’t available on Google Sheets. They do have a listing service available for a fee though I haven’t tried it. The price comparison tool is available for free. It’s not only available as an app but also on desktop. What I love about Sellhound is that it will show you the average active listing and sold price for a number of selling platforms like Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Etsy and more. Rather than trying to look up comps on several sites or just navigate your main selling platform while juggling an armful of goods, I use Sellhound. So you found something that looks interesting, but you aren’t sure about the profit potential. The premium version allows for more functionality. With the free version, you can only view today’s sales and Saturday. Get directions to each sale as you drive.Share your sale route with your friends.Sync your sale route across all of your mobile devices.Save time and gas by optimizing your sale route order.See Street View of the sale site before you visit.Organize by color or by creating a sale route.Search by day, location, distance, and keyword.That means you can see any photos included with the announcement – something I always appreciate! The listings come from Craigslist and it pulls in the full listing. ![]() I use this app a lot! Pull up the app and get a map view of all the garage sales in the area – wherever you are at. The good news is these apps aren’t just good for clothing resellers, they can help you out regardless of your chosen niche or platform. We have made over 100 sales thus far and are feeling good about learning the ropes of reselling.īecause Poshmark is an app-based selling platform, and I spend a lot of time on the road these days, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite reseller apps. We have been taking the Poshmark app by storm for the past month and a half or so now. ![]()

It often feels like it's the animals observing the humans here! Unlike at other zoos where it feels like people have much more space than the animals, the San Diego Zoo has flipped this.Īnimals are seldom in an enclosed space and have tons of room to roam and explore. Most importantly, the quality of the animal enclosures and the animal living conditions are excellent at the San Diego Zoo.

There aren't very many other zoos in the world that you can experience on your feet, by bus, and in the air! ![]() The Skyfari is one of the most popular things to do at the San Diego Zoo as you take to the skies with amazing aerial views of the property and animals below. While the Balboa Train and 4D Theater do cost extra, the Skyfari and animal presentations are included in the price of admission. In addition to the bus tours we covered earlier, the San Diego Zoo also has a 4D Theater, the Skyfari Aerial Tram, and a rideable mini-Balboa Train. There's much more to do at the San Diego Zoo than just looking at animals in their enclosures. When you're looking at the "expensive" price tag of the San Diego, keep in mind that you'll get a free, high-quality tour included in the price! The tour guides are all extremely knowledgeable about the zoo grounds and animals, so you're bound to learn something new on these tours. The guided tours at the San Diego Zoo are some of the most detailed and well-handled zoo tour experiences we've ever been on. The fact that the San Diego Zoo takes you by bus through a huge portion of the property to see dozens of animal closures is a huge perk and a great way to learn about all of the animals living at the zoo. These tours depart about every 20 minutes or so unlike at other zoos where you may only have a short walking tour available every couple of hours. The San Diego Zoo is over 100 acres in total size, so there's a lot of ground to cover and a bus tour is a fantastic way to do so. Tours at the San Diego Zoo are actually on a giant, open-air, double-decker bus which lasts 35 minutes. Most zoos around the country charge extra for guided tours or these tours aren't nearly as easily available or detailed as what you'll find at the San Diego Zoo.

And since it all works on a single graphics engine (Skia) that directly renders all of this for each of the platforms, you can be sure that everything will be displayed exactly as you planned. With the Flare tool that comes with the Flutter package, you can create incredibly complex UI elements and interactive animations within really short periods of time. The framework offers a great number of eye-pleasing highly-customizable widgets, that provide lots of creative abilities to build versatile and sophisticated apps. You will definitely fall in love with the look and feel of the Flutter applications’ UI. Source: Stackoverflow developer survey 2019 Impressive and flexible UI of Any Complexity Level % of developers who are developing with the language of technology and have expressed interest in consulting to develop with it But what makes Flutter stand out and why so many developers have been switching to it recently? Let’s have a look at some major Flutter benefits. As you might know, there are quite many cross-platform tools (React Native, Xamarin, PhoneGap, Titanium, Ionic) and all of them have specific features and abilities to perform various things. Once you’ve decided to build a cross-platform application you will face the problem of which tool should be used. Benefits of FlutterĪ cross-platform solution is a kind of a longtime dream for any business because separate native apps for different operating systems are significantly more expensive to develop and maintain. Due to such active and advanced development Flutter has really good chances of displacing other cross-platform tools in the near future. Flutter is gaining more and more popularity, its talent pool and community is growing exponentially. Over a long period of time Flutter was represented only in alpha and beta versions, but since the release of the stable version, Flutter has become a popular cross-platform application development tool. What is Flutter?įlutter is a cross-platform framework created by Google for building mobile applications which are able to work across multiple operating systems: Android, iOS, Fuchsia. So let’s have a closer look at what Flutter is and why we would strongly recommend picking it for your next digital project. Since the moment of introducing Flutter into our technology stack LinkUp Studio team has implemented a number of successful projects like Party Mafia, Word Links, Mafia Moles using it and in this article we’d like to share our own fair opinion. Nevertheless, many developers are convinced that Flutter is likely to become the future of mobile app development. Flutter, an open-source reactive framework by Google has become the reason for the real “holy war” in the world of software development: some admire it, whereas others criticize. ![]() ![]() ![]() Comments that are deliberately trying to offend or provoke someone, using ad hominem attacks, or are otherwise dickishly irrelevant will be removed and result in a ban.These complaints will be removed and the complainer will be banned.

![]() ![]() These synthetic base oils are made through a process called synthesizing. Group IV base oils are polyalphaolefins (PAOs). Like Group II base oils, these oils are also becoming more prevalent. This longer process is designed to achieve a purer base oil.Īlthough made from crude oil, Group III base oils are sometimes described as synthesized hydrocarbons. These oils are refined even more than Group II base oils and generally are severely hydrocracked (higher pressure and heat). Group III base oils are greater than 90 percent saturates, less than 0.03 percent sulfur and have a viscosity index above 120. Still, Group II base oils are becoming very common on the market today and are priced very close to Group I oils. They also have a clearer color and cost more in comparison to Group I base oils. Group II base oils have better antioxidation properties. Since all the hydrocarbon molecules of these oils are saturated, ![]() They are often manufactured by hydrocracking, which is a more complex process than what is used for Group I base oils. Group II base oils are defined as being more than 90 percent saturates, less than 0.03 percent sulfur and with a viscosity index of 80 to 120. This is why they are the cheapest base oils on the market. Group I base oils are solvent-refined, which is a simpler refining process. The temperature range for these oils is from 32 to 150 degrees F. Group I base oils are classified as less than 90 percent saturates, greater than 0.03 percent sulfur and with a viscosity-index range of 80 to 120. Before all the additives are added to the mixture, lubricating oils begin as one or more of these five API groups. Group V is for all other base oils not included in Groups I through IV. Group IV base oils are full synthetic (polyalphaolefin) oils. The first three groups are refined from petroleum crude oil. The base oil category defines what the oil is made of, how it is manufactured, and how the lubricant handles certain environments such as extreme heat.The American Petroleum Institute (API) has categorized base oils into five categories (API 1509, Appendix E). Almost every lubricant used in plants today started off as just a base oil. ![]() ![]() Simply put, vinegar is not wine, and the taste differences can be quite wide. While you can technically use White Wine Vinegar in place of Shaoxing Wine, we don’t recommend it. Shaoxing Wine FAQ Can I Use White Wine Vinegar Instead of Shaoxing Wine? However, the overall experience should be close enough to Shaoxing to make it worth the try. The taste might not be exactly the same, and the texture perhaps a bit less cutting. This creative solution is a lot of fun and creates a wine pretty similar to Shaoxing Wine. This process requires cooking rice, soaking it for an hour, straining the rice from the water, steaming the rice, putting yeast in a bowl, combining the rice with the yeast, and letting it ferment for several days. Now, this option is a great choice if you want to expand your wine experience and get into making rice wine. Related: What to use instead of rice wine vinegar. Remember, rice vinegar is not the same as rice wine vinegar, so choose accordingly. It will work fairly well if you follow the formula above but doesn’t quite have the same texture as Shaoxing, meaning it’s best to limit this option as much as possible. This option is best if you have no other choices and simply don’t have the time to go to the store. ![]() You can mix one-half cup white grape juice and one tablespoon rice vinegar for every cup of Shaoxing wine. Rice vinegar and grape juice isn’t exactly the best option because it’s typically a bit sweeter and fruitier than the rice-based Shaoxing.

Jim was a wonderful father and raised his children with love and discipline, instilling in them the values of hard-work, generosity, honesty, loyalty and friendship. In fact, he met his beloved Kay at the bar in the Half Shell and they married in 2015. He was never hard to find on that short strip of Mendenhall Road. He loved visiting with his extended family at the Terraces of Laurelwood, Half Shell and Folks Folly. Like in all areas of his life, he had many good friends in the golf community. He was a past president of the Memphis Golf Association. Convinced it was the equipment and not his swing, he was a favorite at the Windyke pro-shop and Edwin Watts. He was committed to and never gave up on his love-hate relationship with the golf course at Windyke. Despite the name, however, Jim was not a very good golfer. On becoming a grandfather, our mother gave him the nickname "Putt-Putt" for which he is now known for all over Memphis. Jim was well known in the bond community from Memphis to New York and, for all intents and purposes, was a "Legend". He would eventually go on to start the Mortgage-Backed Trading operations in the bond department of First Tennessee Bank where he was famous for his antics such as the "duck-walk". Jim had a lengthy and successful career which began in the cotton business in the 1960s. He was quite a character and could captivate his family and friends telling stories rich with detail. He had an elephant-like memory and was a friendly person who never met a stranger. They were inseparable until her death in May 2010. Michael and, years later, they married and had three children.

Naishoku is work you do at home, and generally pays per task done, not an hourly wage or salary. All these are common words you’ll see when looking through job ads: The two used here are naishoku and ( aru) baito, but there’s also part-time, keiyaku-shain, and sei-shain. The words used to refer to different types of employment are actually fairly well defined in Japan. Warning Feel free to skip this entry, it’s long and boring. It’s a lot easier to write cryptic conversations when, again, you don’t need subjects or objects. This also makes it hell to translate sometimes, as this is often used as a tool to keep information away from characters or the audience. When you’re able to leave out the subject, object, and/or verb in a sentence, it’s easy to write a dialogue where the characters think they’re talking about the same thing, but aren’t (as an example). It’s also the source of a lot of Japanese humor and drama. This is why you get stuff like one-word lines turning into a whole sentence in the subs sometimes. So you’ve got no subject or verb, just the direct and indirect objects, which is Japanese as fuck.Īs a comparatively high context language, you’re free to drop many more parts of the sentence in Japanese than you can in English. Kono means “this,” - ni is a particle that indicates indirect object status (among several other things, it’s quite versatile), and - wo is a particle that indicates direct object status (grammatically, like subject/object/verb). If you hadn’t noticed, all the episode names (excluding s1e1) follow the same pattern as the series title: “Kono _ ni _ wo”.

Luckily, noise reduction tools exist to combat grainy footage. Unlike film grain, we find digital noise ugly and wish to eliminate or limit it. ![]() In this post we’ll show you how to get the most out of it in your projects.ĭigital noise is an inevitable, undesirable facet of working with video. We also very much admit that we haven’t seen everything… if you think there’s a product out there that we should be talking about, please let us know.Is grainy footage ruining your project? Neat Video packs a powerful punch for reducing grain and noise in footage. If we bother to review something, it’s because we use it in our day to day and like it. We only advocate and sell the products that we use in our own workflows. Review disclaimer – Yes, we do sometimes get free products and licenses (but not always). Before you throw out a shot because of how noisy it is… try putting neat video on it. Neat video is really great at saving shots you didn’t think you’d be able to use.Once you’ve done the noise profile from within the plugin interface, there will typically be a huge improvement that will likely be pretty much what you wanted… however, if you go and play with the temporal radius setting in the inspector in FCPX, the higher you go, the higher quality (and render times) you will likely see.FCPX can hang a lot with this plugin if you’re not careful, especially on slower machines. You may want to turn off background rendering while you’re applying Neat Video and playing with the settings… and then render everything out when you’re done all at once.If you already have Neat Video, make sure you have the latest version (3.6)… among other things like (like Resolve support), there were some significant render and GFX support changes to the latest version. The New Mac Pro is way better friends with Neat Video than the iMac and Macbook Pro are.Also, if you’re dealing with RED RAW, it may make sense to export the segments requiring noise reduction first, then cut them back in over the RAW footage… then apply the plugin. Quick tip is to bring your 4K stuff down into a 1080 sequence first. Avoid using on 4K stuff unless you’ve got A Lot of render time to spare.Once you’re there, look at this page: and watch some tutorials for best practices.Īlso, for better performance, once you’re inside the plugin, make sure you go under Tools_Performance and then make sure you enable GPU rendering, and bump up the number of cores your machine uses to render.If you’re applying from FCPX, apply the Filter onto your clip(s), then go into the inspector and hit “select to open” and that will open the plugin interface.Don’t put it on until you’re as close to done with your edit as possible. Render times are LONG… and get longer the larger the resolution of your footage is.A few things to keep in mind as you use it: Once you get past their not exactly to 2014 standards website and figure out how to pay for, download, and install the plugin, you’ll likely be blown away by how amazing this plugin really is. ![]() For those of you looking for a great noise reduction plugin for FCPX, Neat Video is really the only thing worth looking at: ![]() |
