It reinforces the idea that taking action and staying committed is crucial for success. The outro, with the repeated mention of "Fire," serves as an exclamation and an affirmation of the passion and energy needed to achieve one's goals. The line "Close to the soul and away from all the doubt" encourages listeners to listen to their inner voice and trust in themselves rather than succumbing to self-doubt. It suggests that success often requires stepping out of one's comfort zone and taking risks. The second verse emphasizes the importance of seizing opportunities without hesitation and going beyond mere inspiration. The repetition reinforces the idea of being ready to face any challenges that come their way. It speaks to the need to be prepared, focused, and determined to take bold steps towards their goals. ![]() The chorus, repeating the phrase "Ready, aim, fire," represents a call to action. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, they all hold onto hope and a plan to escape their current circumstances. The line "Sea of relay high rise in remission" could refer to the multitude of people striving for success in a competitive environment. In the first verse, the mention of "seven million strung out on ambition" suggests a large population of individuals driven by their aspirations. The lyrics convey a sense of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. "Ready Aim Fire" by Blue Stahli appears to be a powerful and motivational song about pursuing one's dreams and overcoming obstacles. ![]()

12/15/2023 0 Comments Schubert compositions in 1826![]() The songs of Schwanengesang as found in Schubert's manuscript: ![]() The Seidl song, "Die Taubenpost", has no connection to the rest of the cycle and was appended by Haslinger at the end to round up all of Schubert's last compositions. It was customary for Schubert to respect the poet's sequence the manuscript may not represent Schubert's desired order. 8–13, as they appear in the manuscript, differs from that of the poems as Heine published them: 10, 12, 11, 13, 9, 8, which in any case were not consecutive, as the table below shows. We can assume, then, that Schubert, at least in the beginning, intended two separate single-poet collections. On 2 October 1828, after the manuscript had been written, Schubert offered the Heine set of six songs to a Leipzig publisher by the name of Probst. (The true cycles Die schöne Müllerin and Die Winterreise had sold well, motivating the publisher.) The title Schwanengesang is not of course the composer's but all the song titles are Heine, for one, did not name his poems. The Rellstab and Heine settings were copied in a single sitting on consecutive pages of the manuscript in Schubert's hand, and Seidl's Die Taubenpost is considered to be Schubert's last Lied - thus the basis for Haslinger's sequence, one accepted by posterity together with his conceit that a cycle exists at all. In any case, all 14 songs were composed in 1828 and the collection was published in 1829, a few months after the composer's death. Seven texts by Ludwig Rellstab (1799–1860) are followed by six by Heinrich Heine (1797–1856) inclusion of the last song, to words by Johann Gabriel Seidl (1804–1875), may or may not reflect Schubert's wishes. Named by its first publisher, Tobias Haslinger, who presumably wished to present it as Schubert's last testament, Schwanengesang differs from the earlier Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise song-cycles by including settings of more than one poet. The autograph manuscript of the collection is preserved in the Morgan Library & Museum. Die Taubenpost (alternative: D 965a) ( Johann Gabriel Seidl).Liebesbotschaft (text: Ludwig Rellstab).Schwanengesang ( Swan Song), D 957, is a collection of 14 songs written by Franz Schubert at the end of his life and published posthumously: ![]() ![]() JSTOR ( July 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)įirst volume of Schubert's Schwanengesang as originally published in 1829.Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

There is a good chance that suffocation and death will occur if you lie on your stomach. Your baby is only permitted to lie on their back while wearing the MamaRoo. A baby is more likely to choke to death than a horse. Baby sleeping equipment, such as car seats and swings, has the same risk of falling over. Some of these products have been recalled as a result of the death of infants. It is not a good idea to leave your child sleeping in a MamaRoo all night. Furthermore, they should not be left in products for more than 30 minutes at a time. In moderation, these products can be used safely, but do not leave your child in bed while you are away. Is a mamaRoo® infant bed approved for overnight sleeping? Because the mattress does not have a flat surface (which is what pediatricians recommend) or a firm surface, we do not believe it can be used for sleeping at night. If your child is not comfortable wearing mamaRoo, you will need to purchase an infant embed. You may have to wait days or even weeks for your child to come to terms with his or her dependence on MamaRoo. It is best to keep your baby awake during the night at the age of four months to prepare for sleep. As a result of the baby’s trembling movements, it appears to be able to remember its mother as a newborn. You can give your child another relaxed relationship as part of your daily routine by doing so. There’s a lot to do to end the MamaRoo trend. It is critical that infants apply energy to their stomach a few times per day.īecause children’s skulls are so delicate, it is not uncommon for the surface of their scalp to become fragile if too much energy is applied to the same spot on their heads at the same time. Too much swing time is a problem for a game. Babies who sit on the ground are more likely to suffer an unexpected neonatal death (SIDS), which means they must move around to strengthen their muscles. No matter how many swings you use, such as MamarRo, infants cannot sleep on them. Although MamaRoos are an excellent way to spend time with your baby, their purpose is not to keep them from falling asleep. They allow your baby to rest while you are doing other basic things on your hands. MamaRoo swings and rockers provide a valuable resource for many inexperienced parents. They can help you decide if the Mamaroo is right for your family. If you are concerned about the Mamaroo disrupting your baby’s sleep habits, talk to your pediatrician. This can help soothe your baby and may even help them sleep better. The bouncer seat is designed to mimic the gentle rocking motions that babies feel while being held by their parents. Most experts agree that the Mamaroo is not likely to disrupt your baby’s sleep habits. While the Mamaroo can be a life-saver for parents, some worry that it will mess up their baby’s sleep habits.

In the illustration below the image marked with “3” on the graphic below is positioned further left then the caption “4” above it. After the left-to-right classification it will look at the top-to-bottom position of objects. This means that if there is an object placed at the bottom of the page that is positioned further to the left than a text frame above it, for example an image, the object will appear first in the content structure. Secondly InDesign first of all assumes a left-to-right object order when determining the content order.In other words, these objects will not be placed according to their contextual page reference. Any non-threaded content that might decorate the document pages, such as images with captions or break-out text, is added in the content order after the story content is inserted. Text-threads - or stories as they are referred to in InDesign - are added as an uninterrupted content flow.When the EPUB content order is based on the Page Layout structure of the InDesign document the following occurs: InDesign CS5 enables content order creation based on Page Layout or XML Structure.

The many problems faced by Hasbro in getting any of its films even made, let alone making movies people want to even see, should be an ominous sign for Mattel. But just ask Hasbro…chasing the box office glory of Transformers didn’t work out well. At the time, it seemed like the perfect way to cash in on the success of 2007’s equivalent to Barbie. ![]() Not so long ago, Mattel’s biggest rival saw a film adaptation of one of its toys turn into a pop culture phenomenon and, thus, embarked on plans to make a slew of features based on its various board games and action figures. The strangest part about Mattel deciding that Barbie’s success means audiences want nothing but toy adaptations is that it’s following the very grave missteps of another toy company. Mattel mistakenly thinks that throwing a toy adaptation on the big screen is enough to get audiences pumped when, in reality, it’s all a lot more complicated than that. Cameron’s warning of how people were misinterpreting the success of Avatar in digital 3D is now happening with Barbie as well. The New Yorker article even ends with an account of a writer being hired to try and crack the story of a potential Uno adaptation. Instead, the idea now is that Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots can totally become a motion picture property, ditto everything else in the Mattel library from Polly Pocket to the Magic 8 Ball. None of that nuance or sociopolitical timing seems to have registered with Mattel executives if that New Yorker piece is any indication. People have been engaging in this style of feminism for a while before the cameras even began rolling on Barbie, but this movement coincided perfectly with the bright-pink aesthetic of Greta Gerwig’s feature. ![]() Meanwhile, the 2020s have seen a rise in “bimbo feminism”, a movement that emphasizes inclusive and often leftist ideology within high-femme fashion and sensibilities. There’s also been the dearth of female-skewing big-budget movies in 2023, which has also allowed Barbie to cater to an under-represented demographic. There are lots of reasons this specific toy adaptation has become a pop culture phenomenon with people, including the fact that it being the first live-action Barbie movie makes it feel extra special to people. It’s clear Mattel is already hopping into this approach with all the hype surrounding Barbie. Hollywood studios have a bad habit of just mimicking the shallowest interpretation of what made a big hit movie successful rather than considering the deeper intricacies of why a feature resonated with people. ![]() 12/14/2023 0 Comments 0.02 print resolutione xample![]() ![]() Beyond a certain fairly definite point, which I'll cover, increasing the file size does nothing to increase output quality. The overall, practical rule is: don't go much above the minimum resolution you need, to keep file sizes manageable and avoid problems with the printer's RIP (Raster Image Processor - the software that translates you artwork to the physical dots that will hit the paper). As e100 pointed out, vectors are a Good Thing when you need to scale stuff up for grande format, but clients are clients, jobs are what they are, and we don't often get to choose. There are two answers, depending on whether you have a images (raster) or shapes (vector, including text) or a mixture of both. The related question e100 refers to has answers that also don't really cover the necessary bases. Very few, if any, grande format jobs are printed that way, and in any case, none of the answers indicated how to translate from PPI (dots) resolution in Photoshop to LPI (lines of dots at different angles) resolution in offset. Several answers refer to line screens, but technology has moved on. Grande format resolutions, as various folks have pointed out, depend on viewing distance. not downsampled to a particular output resolution. output the composite PDF from InDesign, ensuring that raster elements are output at their native resolution, i.e.compose the final artwork in InDesign, linking in the raster and vector files, adding text and simple vector elements like colour blocks.create complex vector elements like logos or illustration in Illustrator and output as EPS or PDF files.produce raster elements in Photoshop and output as TIFF files.So, again in general, your workflow would be: ![]() I never felt the need to do any interpolated upscaling of the raster images. I've certainly ended up with around 75ppi in photographic elements of 2m high event banners, which looked fine at relative distance. Certainly you should aim for as high as possible, but I don't think there's a hard-and-fast lower limit. While a PDF can contain photographic images, they will have a fixed resolution, and while 300 ppi is a good rule of thumb for publications and small posters viewed at close range, there's no way you'll achieve anything close to that at the dimensions you're talking about. This is particularly important with text and line art - visible rasterization in the finished print will be very obvious and look amateurish. Your finished print will then be limited only by the output resolution of the print device. In general you should use vector graphics in the artwork wherever practical, and deliver final artwork to the printer in PDF or other vector format. Considering that and the fact that 2x LPI is pretty conservative for reproducing fidelity (often 1.5xLPI is "enough"), this agrees with advice of 75 PPI being acceptable. That would mean your raster graphics should be about 100 PPI, or 75 PPI at 12-14 feet. (Just eyeballing the wall here.) So, by this table, you'll need 50 LPI minimum. Presumably, for a banner 3m x 5m, you'd be standing at a minimum of, say, 10 feet. The subject was black and white printing, but since colour halftone dot patterns should even be less noticeable, I think the advice can be extrapolated. So your question can be distilled down to: what is the minimum LPI halftone screen I need so that it's not distracting at the distance the poster will be viewed? I did a little searching, and actually found a research paper on this subject. Because of high-speed printing and cheaper paper/printing of newspapers, they are often as low as 85 LPI, so you can see the individual dots easily on the funny pages. Why are most things printed at 133 or 150 LPI? Because at reading distance for CMYK printing the dots aren't generally discernible. The rule of thumb is that we need 1.5 to 2 times the LPI in PPI to get acceptable results. Why? Because most raster artwork is printed with CYMK processes at a maximum (generally) of 150 LPI. for clean text resolution)" - here you're confusing DPI with PPI (often done.) Raster artwork for print is generally scanned at 300 PPI. Now you said "As i understand it 300 DPI is the typical for 'small' artworks (esp. PPI = Pixels per inch = the number of pixels per inch in screen/scanner file terms.LPI = Lines per inch = The offset printing 'lines' or dots per inch in a halftone or line screen.DPI = Dots per inch = units used to measure the resolution of a printer.Here's definitions, so we know what we're talking about. ![]() I like the accepted answer, it has good advice, but I thought I'd expand on it a bit.įor wall sized graphics and large banners (e.g 3m x 5m), what is an acceptable PPI/DPI for print. ![]() ![]() ![]() This tip sheet also includes a sample syllabus statement to outline limitations on the reproduction and distribution of recorded lectures.
