![]() That night, Jeffrey, Raimondo, Maurizio, and Gabry entered the village and were greeted by a long table at the edge of a large circle, with a massive bonfire in the center. Sick of the MRE shipped to them from some rusty American warehouse, they gladly accepted. A grand feast was to be prepared for them. Out of all the volunteers, the four bandmates were selected by the villagers to celebrate that night. The watering systems came with enough instructions that the pipes fit together within a few weeks, saving the local farms and winning over the hearts of the villagers. None of them were really built for physical labor, but the word of God had brought them down there, and there they would work.Ĭonstruction was rather boring, despite being short-staffed. Soon, they were off to the heart of Africa to build irrigation systems for land-locked villages. After a few unsuccessful one-hit blunders, the four of them decided to seek inspiration serving as missionaries with their church. Originally, there were four members in Eiffel 65: Jeffrey Jey, Raimondo Sanguine, Maurizio Lobina, and Gabry Ponte. In their recent biography, Eiffel 65 reveals the truth: Chances are, though, that you haven't heard the story behind the song. The song came out in America in 1999, so if you're older than 15 you may have heard it. ![]() If you heard the song, you'd recognize it for its catchy beat and mostly-gibberish lyrics. They're an Italian eurodance group, and they have maybe three hits in America: the two previously-mentioned songs, and "(I'm) Blue". You may know the band Eiffel 65 for their hits "Move Your Body" or "Too Much of Heaven".

![]() ![]() A cookie cutter is used to make cookie dough take the shape of the cutter. It’s similar (in concept) to how a cookie cutter works. In short, clipping masks allow you to make one object take the shape of another object. Once you have your rectangle placed exactly over the areas of your image you’d like to crop, it’s time to create a clipping mask, which is the tool required when using Inkscape to crop an image. To make your adjustments more precise, you can zoom in on the image by holding Control on your keyboard and rolling up and down on the mouse wheel to zoom in and out respectively. Now you can grab the Select tool (keyboard shortcut: S) - located at the top of your tools list - and use it to adjust the width, height, and location of your rectangle until it is placed exactly over the area of the image you’d like to crop. Reducing the opacity of the rectangle will allow you to see where the image is located beneath it. The color you should use will depend on your own image. Once you’ve reduced the opacity, it would make sense to change the color of the rectangle to a shade that contrasts well with your image’s composition so you can see it better.įor this particular image I’ll be using red because it’s easily visible against the blue-ish green backdrop. It may be difficult for you to see exactly where the rectangle is situated in relation to the image, so it would be a good idea to reduce the opacity of the rectangle to 50% using the menu at the bottom of the screen: Adjust the opacity using the input values at the bottom of the screen. With the rectangle tool selected, click and drag to create a rectangle over the area of your image you’d like to crop: Don’t worry if your rectangle isn’t located precisely where it needs to be. It should be the third tool down from the top: Locate the Rectangle tool in your toolbar. To do this, grab the Rectangles and squares tool (keyboard shortcut: R) which is located in the tools menu on the left-hand side of your screen. Now that you have your image opened we can begin the process of choosing the area we’d like to crop. Step 2: Create A Rectangle Over Your Image ![]() Follow my dark theme tutorial for Inkscape if you’d like to do the same. Your image should now be opened in Inkscape, and within its own dedicated document.įor this demonstration I will be using the following example photo: My example photo, opened with Inkscape.Īs a side note, if you’re wondering why my version of Inkscape may look different from yours, it’s because I’m using a dark theme. When prompted with the import menu, make sure to choose the following presets: Make sure your import presets match the screenshot above, otherwise your image may import at a different size. Locate your image on your hard drive and select it. In addition, this herb interacts with blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin. That said, very few human studies have examined fenugreek and libido, so more research is needed. Similarly, an 8-week study in 80 females with low libido determined that taking 600 mg of fenugreek daily significantly improved sexual arousal and desire, compared with the placebo group ( 22). However, it’s unknown whether this increase in testosterone is clinically significant. It contains compounds that your body may use to produce sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone ( 19, 20).Ī 12-week study found that supplementing with 600 mg of fenugreek extract daily improved sexual function and increased testosterone levels in 120 middle-aged and older males ( 21).

I just don’t think Windows is the ideal OS to be used in that way. In a practical sense, I didn’t spend a lot of time using this device as a tablet. I haven’t used any of the previous Yoga models, but somehow I think the hinge design here is superior, as I found it to be perfect as is. I also didn’t find it overly thick, although an iPad is obviously thinner. Handling in this mode is just fine, as the device is still light enough to hold with one hand. The whole point of the Yoga lineup is that the hinge allows the screen to fold all the way back flat against the back of the laptop. But this is a Yoga laptop, so it deserves a small pass, due to the added features – the biggest of which being the 360-degree hinge. If that were the case, I would expect even smaller bezels and larger feet. But it falls short when you compare it to a traditional laptop. That’s it – no HDMI or SD card slot on this model. Finally, there are some more holes for the left speaker, towards the front. There are two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, one of which supports charging. The left-hand side has a little more than the right. Towards the front there are some holes for the speakers. Not exactly the side I want my headphones, but at least it’s towards the back. Starting on the right-hand side, there’s a power button and a single USB-C which supports DisplayPort and PowerDelivery. Being a thin 2-in-1, the IO is limited, but is still pretty decent. There are also intake grills for the fans down here and bottom-facing main speakers. A bunch of Torx screws hold the bottom plate in place, but it’s a very clean fit. The bottom is nearly as smooth as the lid. The hinge is pretty remarkable too because it also doubles as a soundbar, containing two tweeters. But there’s also a fingerprint scanner on the lower right-hand corner of the keyboard. We’ll cover these in more detail in the next section. This is a 16:10 screen so I expected a smaller lower bezel just like all the other 16:10 models out there.īelow all that is a keyboard and a large trackpad. I’m a little disappointed in the bottom bezel though, especially since it’s partially plastic. The panel is mostly glass and the bezels on the top and sides are reasonable. Above it is a FHD webcam that has IR capability for Windows Hello face unlock. We’ll get more into the screen in a later section. Underneath is a large 16:10 QHD+ touchscreen. ![]() The symmetry is also real, as the laptop is pretty well balanced, closed or open. I never got the impression that the chassis was weak, and the laptop certainly is light enough to handle this way. I typically picked up the device from the corners, while open. It’s a unique design too, which I really appreciate. No creaks in the chassis and the rounded edges make you feel like the device was just a single piece of aluminum. It almost feels like the laptop is made from two large tablets. The all-aluminum CNC design gives the device a sturdy look and a familiar feel. When taking the Yoga 9i out of the box, I definitely got the feeling that I was dealing with a quality machine. And here’s my detailed review of the updated 2023 Lenovo Yoga 9i series. ![]() Update: Here’s our coverage of the newer 2023 Lenovo Yoga 9i and Yoga Book 9i (dual-screen) updates. Headphone/mic combo, HD Webcam with Windows Hello, quad speakers(2x tweeters and 2x sub) But after a few weeks of using this exclusively, I know this device will find a good home, especially with those that appreciate a competitive everyday laptop, but would also want the occasional tablet use, for multimedia purposes. Jack of all trades and master of none might very well fit the case here. Pretty cool features, if you ask me.Īt the same time, being a 2-in-1, there are a couple of things that make it a little less than ideal design, compared to a standard tablet or laptop. Today we have a polished model, with a 14” OLED display, a huge trackpad, face unlock, and a built-in soundbar. We’re nearly a decade after the first Yoga model was released – and boy has it matured. “We have about 20,000 followers we engage with on a near daily basis. “Currently, we are having the most success with LinkedIn because we can most readily reach our target audience there, since we focus primarily on salaried recruitment right now,” she said. The social recruitment platform also features the same on-brand messaging that Domino’s career site and Twitter boasts: “To be the best pizza delivery company in the world.” According to Stiteler, LinkedIn is currently Domino’s most active social recruitment platform. When asked to describe Domino’s employer brand in 140 characters or less, Stiteler was right on brand with her reply: “Domino’s is a reshaped, reenergized brand of honesty, transparency, accountability and the best team members in the world.”ĭomino’s Pizza’s LinkedIn is branded as the best.įollowing in the footsteps of Domino’s career site, the brand’s LinkedIn page is a wonderful mixed bag of everything from new job opportunities and Domino’s company news, to quirky pizza-related articles and pictures of current Domino’s employees mingling in their corporate headquarters. The prize? Free, hot and delicious pizza to the 20,000 th follower! We’re also a big fan of this engaging tweet, which prompted users to become followers of Domino’s LinkedIn page. Our hope is that our social recruitment strategy will complement what we are already doing on our consumer side.” “We are known as a technology company that has a well-designed and well executed consumer social strategy. We are often referred to as a ‘technology company that happens to sell pizza,’” she said. In fact, Domino’s is now consistently one of the top five companies in online transactions, and 40% of our sales in the U.S. “Although our company is over 50 years old, we are well known for staying current, if not ahead of the technological times. Stiteler discussed that keeping technology at the forefront of the brand’s social strategy – including Twitter – has helped propel Domino’s established employer brand. The account also frequently uses the hashtag #coolplacestowork, reaching job seekers who aren’t just looking for a place to work and advance their careers, but also to play. Up-to-date job opportunities are constantly highlighted on the account’s Twitter feed, as well as relevant company news, pizza commentary and engaging on-brand announcements. When it comes to the Twitter account, the brand expertly packs as much engaging information into 140 characters as possible – and succeeds at it. Twitter is used as an engaging, witty social platform. “We are currently focused on strengthening the relationship between our future team members and our company, and ensuring that our communications are a true reflection of who we are as a brand and as an employer.” Prior to that, it wasn’t uncommon to see tumbleweeds and cobwebs on our LinkedIn and Twitter pages,” Stiteler said. “Although we have had dedicated social channels for a few years now, we ramped up our (social recruitment) efforts in the last six months. Stiteler mentioned that although Domino’s career site has been intact for some time now, throwing social recruitment-specific channels into the mix is a more recent tactic. ![]() ![]() Domino’s even offers a Leadership Development Program to college graduates who are interested in pursuing director, vice president and franchise owner roles and helps educate and propel young professionals into those roles. Another unique feature of the brand’s career site is the wealth of opportunities available to current college students and recent grads. The site’s homepage is clearly branded with Domino’s mission statement and also features separate portals that direct visitors to appropriate employment opportunities in the corporate, supply chain and in-store realms. Keep reading to learn more about the tactics that Domino’s is implementing in the social media space to attract and retain talented hires in their stores and corporate offices alike.ĭomino’s career site offers a wealth of opportunities.įrom pizza chefs and delivery drivers to data analysts and corporate advisors, the career site for Domino’s Pizza offers ample opportunities to job seekers of all backgrounds and levels. JWT INSIDE had the opportunity to chat with Domino’s Pizza’s Talent Acquisition guru, Brienne Stiteler, to learn about what the brand is doing in the social sphere to reel in the best talent. ![]() With its solid social recruitment strategy intact (as well as downright delicious pizza!), the brand is well on its way to attaining that goal by hiring the best in the food service business. Domino’s Pizza has a goal – to become the best pizza delivery company in the world. The alternative, he said, was an era of stasis and stagnation on Earth, where we are forced to control the population and limit energy usage per capita. “We can harvest resources from asteroids, from Near-Earth Objects, and harvest solar energy from a much broader surface area – and continue to do amazing things,” he said in 2017. Instead, he wants to see millions of people living and working in space, getting heavy industry and power generation off Earth, so that Earth can be preserved. The point of Blue Origin is to develop "technologies to enable human access to space at a dramatically lower cost and increased reliability," though Bezos has always been very clear that he doesn't think humanity should abandon Earth to go looking for a better home. The name 'Blue Origin' is a reference to planet Earth (Image credit: Harrison H Schmitt (Apollo 17)/NASA) What are Blue Origin's long-term goals?īlue Origin's motto is gradatim ferociter, Latin for 'step by step, ferociously', but a clue to the company's long-term goals is in its name. ![]() The 300-foot-tall, vertical firing test stand 4670 was used by NASA in the 1960s to test the massive Saturn V rockets that took the Apollo spacecraft to the moon, as well as engines for the space shuttle.Ī commitment by the US Air Force to use its super-rocket of the future called New Glenn (see below) means Blue Origin is looking into building a launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.īlue Origin is going large and getting big, though it's got some way to go to reach the size of SpaceX. In April 2019 a deal was signed with NASA to allow Blue Origin to test its BE-3U and BE-4 liquefied natural gas rocket engines at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center also in Huntsville. However, it's now constructing an orbital launch facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, with a rocket construction facility close by, and a $200 million (about £150, AU$300) rocket engine production facility in Huntsville, Alabama. However, its engineers oversee launches from a private suborbital launch and engine test site on Bezos' ranch just north of Van Horn, West Texas. The capsule also touched down as planned, with a soft landing facilitated by the spacecraft’s parachute descent system.Blue Origin’s suborbital launch and engine test site is in West Texas (Image credit: Blue Origin) Where is Blue Origin based?īlue Origin has a new HQ and R&D facility in Kent, Washington. This was the second launch and landing for this particular booster stage. New Shepard returned and touched down without any issue, and in fact showed off one of its smoothest landings yet. The crucial difference between this and an actual passenger flight is that Blue Origin then paused the countdown, and the mock crew disembarked, before the countdown was resumed and the flight proceeded as planned - without any passengers, save for Mannequin Skywalker, the Blue Origin test dummy who flies on these preparation missions to take crucial readings during the launch and return. What that means is that they actually went through the process of flight preparations, including transporting to the pad, and even climbing in to the New Shepard vehicle and getting seated as if they were going along for the ride. This flight was a little different than its usual missions, because it included a rehearsal component with people standing in for what will eventually be Blue Origin’s paying private astronaut customers. The mission profile saw the reusable spacecraft fly to suborbital space, and then return for a parachute-assisted landing at Blue Origin’s launch facility in West Texas. ![]() Blue Origin has launched its New Shepard rocket for the second time this year, and the 15th time overall. ![]() ![]() It’s a good thing the visuals are nothing but oily silhouettes and foggy backdrops. And this is Limbo’s meanest trick: With few controls, players have to solve increasingly difficult puzzles through trial and error punctuated by gruesome deaths. The controls amount to three buttons: The joystick to move left/right, a jump button, and an “action” button, a catch-all to grab or use anything in the environment. Players control a nameless boy looking for his sister in a hostile forrest full of traps, gaps, giant spiders, and other people trying to kill or run away from you. Superb limbo party game, fun for parties and as garden gamesIncludes 2 x 177cm inflatable poles and 1 x 182cm inflatable limbo stick. Released in 2010 and conceived by Artn Jensen, the side-scrolling Limbo is a 2D platformer whose plot is as simple as the mechanics. Still, with the lights off on a recent summer night, I willfully let the game chill me (and I set my AC rattle on full blast). Even its most passionate players will tell you that Limbo isn’t scary, but richly atmospheric and ominous. It’s not that Limbo has a reputation for being the most terrifying game either. So when the game was released last week for free on Xbox One, I couldn’t resist. But sadly, by that point I had already let Playdead’s Limbo pass me by. Set comes in 5 pieces and everything you need (1 limbo stick, 2 poles with pegs, 2 bases) Place 1 threaded base leg piece on the ground with the open notch facing upward and nonthreaded piece laying over it with the open notch facing downward into the notch on the other piece, thread the 2.
