![]() Additionally, pens like ballpoint pens simply need some pressure to write correctly due to their ink formulation. If you find that you’re squeezing your pen too tightly, consider investing in a writing instrument with a pliable rubber grip or a wider grip section: good options include the Uni Alpha Gel or Pilot Dr. Hold your pen gently and apply as little pressure as needed to get your pen to write.Every writer will prefer to have their paper positioned differently (and some may even like rotating their paper counterclockwise) so experiment to see what makes you feel most comfortable. Try rotating your paper clockwise by twenty or thirty degrees.Additionally, give yourself plenty of space to rotate your paper or move your arms and hands without knocking into anything. Make sure your space is well lit so you can clearly see where you’re writing. Sit comfortably and face the table straight on.To help you get started, here are a few basic tips and tricks. ![]() If you’re having trouble with your current writing style, we suggest giving underwriting a try. People who use this style push the nib across the paper more than those who underwrite or overwrite, so it has the most potential for paper snags as well as ink smears. The rare sidewriting style keeps the hand in line with the writing. We cover common calligraphy problems, including those left-handed calligraphers experience, in our Calligraphy Tips guide. A good rule of thumb for all beginners is to start with firm nibs and brush pens.

The pigment-based ink dries quickly, which greatly reduces the chances of smudging your latest masterpiece. The Hard tips are easy to control for beginners, and they can graduate to the Soft tips once they gain more experience using brush pens. It comes in two tip types: Hard and Soft.

That way, they won’t stumble through the narration any time a new name or place they haven’t heard of before comes up in the text. The whole process will go a lot smoother if the narrator does some leg work and reviews the text in advance to confirm they know how to pronounce all the words. A narrator who is also a good researcher will be most effective at their job. Recording days can be long and tiring, so you’ll want to work with a narrator who is experienced working on these types of projects and who knows what to expect during a day of recording. Narration is a tiring task and one that requires stamina and a decent amount of breath control. While no listener expects one narrator to completely change their voice for each character, they won’t be able to follow the story if the narrator doesn’t use a variety of voices. They may even need to adapt accents or speak in different dialects. To differentiate between characters, the narrator will need to alter their voice, to make it clear which character is speaking. Having a background in acting can make accomplishing this task much easier. When someone narrates an audiobook, they need to embody different characters and be able to authentically relay their stories. A good narrator doesn’t simply read text, they act it out. These are some of the skills you should look for when hiring an audiobook narrator. The bulk of the audiobook experience for the reader centers around the narrator, which is why it’s so important to work with an experienced narrator who is up to the task. The voice-over narrator in particular plays a key role in the success of an audiobook. There’s a lot more to making a good audiobook than just reading it out loud. Almost any book has the potential to become an audiobook, but for it to be effective, it has to be done well. With so much interest in audiobooks growing over the years, this leaves a lot of room for authors and publishing houses to benefit from this trend. In the first quarter of 2017 alone, audiobook sales rose by 28.8% and in 2016, 24% of Americans listened to at least one audiobook, which was an increase from the 22% of people who reported doing so in 2015. It’s easy to see why audiobooks have grown so much in popularity in recent years. Listening to books is a great way to squeeze in a little recreation time while folding laundry or wrapping up mindless work tasks. Anyone who likes to hit the treadmill or who frequently gets stuck in bumper to bumper traffic is probably familiar with the ease and convenience of audiobooks. ![]() ![]() Walking around the stores, a couple of things strike you as particularly thoughtful and customer friendly. Another thing that’s common to both stores – both run on 100% renewable energy and are carbon neutral, with the BKC store touting a dedicated solar array to ensure zero reliance on fossil fuels for store operations. However, I did notice that third-party accessories were yet to make their presence felt on the store shelves in BKC and Saket. The accessories on offer are without fault, and you can find an extensive selection of cables, adapters, watch straps, many of which are typically missing at the reseller stores. The smaller store size hasn’t meant compromises in terms of the product selection and, as with the BKC store, you can find each color variant of each product – iPhone, Mac, iPad, HomePod, AirPod Max – that you can touch and feel before purchase. The Today at Apple sessions are to be found alongside this wall, around smaller circular tables where experts can hold forth with customers on education around Apple products and services. Utilizing a curved storefront, the store features the familiar white oak tables and walls covered with accessories, audio products and Apple services (Arcade, Music)… except the one feature wall that’s made of locally sourced wood that adds an air of warmth to the store. Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple Inc., right, greets customers during the opening of the new Apple Saket store in New Delhi, India, on Thursday, April 20, 2023. The Saket store in Delhi, on the other hand, feels a lot more like an Apple Store one would have seen inside many malls in the US, a significantly smaller-by-comparison (estimated to be over 8,000 sq ft) retail outlet that lines up alongside other stores in the popular Select Citywalk Mall. This very much feels like a flagship store to lead Apple’s retail initiatives in India. The thing that strikes you most about the store is that while it isn’t as much of a visual marvel as some stores in Dubai, Singapore and Bangkok, the airy, expansive space that the store has at its disposal (estimated to be over 20,000 sq ft), and the intelligent use of natural light to illuminate the space makes it stand out. The rest of the store, from the wide pro-accessibility aisles (and elevator access to the upper level) to the neat rows of white oak tables all follow the signature pattern of minimalism and a visually striking display of the brand’s latest products. ![]() On the other, besides the indoor trees, is a large screen and seating for the informative Today at Apple sessions. Each of the over 450,000 individual timber elements in the Mumbai store were assembled in Delhi, which joins the two stone walls that greet customers upon entering the store (sourced from Kota, Rajasthan) as the two local Indian elements to the store.Īt one side of the store, a 14-meter long stainless steel staircase takes you up from the expansive ground level to the cantilevered mezzanine which houses the Genius Bar (for resolving queries and issues) and a host of accessories for Apple products. ![]() The ceiling, which extends outwards past the glass wall like a sombrero and distinctly identifies the store, is made from 408 pieces of timber, forming 31 modules per tile with a total of 1,000 tiles that make up the ceiling. The BKC Store in Mumbai is located in a prominent corner location within the upscale Jio World Drive mall, with a wraparound double-height glass wall that soars upwards of 25 feet to its rather unique triangular ceiling. We took the Mumbai and Delhi stores for a spin, and here are our first impressions. It’s no shiny gadget, though.įor all these years, Apple has relied primarily on third-party resellers to get its products physically in front of Indian consumers, a reliance that ended this week with the opening of the Apple BKC and Apple Saket store. Ever so often, Apple’s shiny new products find mention on these pages, but there’s a particular offering from the Cupertino giant that’s been curiously absent even as the brand marks 25 years of operations in India…or 15 years since it first started selling its iPhone in India. ![]() ![]() Hot Wheels Designer, Brendon Vetuskey - who was tasked with bringing the #Hi-Po Hauler into Hot Wheels form - actually used the CAD files from this new ’60s Ford Econoline Pickup casting as a starting point for the Hi-Po Hauler. And, NO, that does not mean these are the same casting. If you look at the photo above, you’ll notice two aspects: the rear engine (thanks Captain Obvious) and the noticeably raked-stance of the #Hi-Po Hauler. The rear axle had been moved back to better align with the real truck. But there are so many more details that often go unseen. ![]() You may remember Brendon (if you saw the Fast N’ Loud Hi-Po Hauler episode) was seen in the episode actually going to Gas Monkey Garage and working on the real car with the GMG guys. He fabricated several parts of the real #Hi-Po Hauler including the radiator mounts and the rear anti-sway bar mounting brackets, so he made sure to include them in this design. Check out the image of the base below and you’ll see the air intake built right into it. Hot Wheels Hi-Po Hauler, a 2018 Gas Monkey Garage Red Line Club Exclusive with ’60s Ford Econoline Pickup (rear comparison)Īnother thing you may have noticed by looking at the base is the fact that you can see right through part of it. Brendon said that if you stood over the bed of the real Hi-Po Hauler, you could see down to the ground - hence why the Hot Wheels casting features that detail. Other notable differences include the truck bed overhaul on the Hi-Po versus the plastic bed (with skateboard) on the retail #Econoline casting, AND the front headlights being a separate piece on the Hi-Po versus being part of the body on the ’60s Ford Econoline Pickup. ![]() With all the differences, its easy to overlook the wheels. Hot Wheels Hi-Po Hauler, a 2018 Gas Monkey Garage Red Line Club Exclusive (Engine Shot) You can see that the retail #Econoline casting has four of the same wheels whereas, the Hi-Po Hauler was cast to incorporate drag wheels - both the thick #Real Riders Preferred Wheels on the back, and the super skinny, #Real Riders DSD 12-Spoke Drag Wheels on the front! So while the Hot Wheels #Hi-Po Hauler may have started with the files of the #’60s Ford Econoline Pickup casting, Brendon left his mark, creating a brand-new, entirely-different casting. Speaking of the Hot Wheels #Hi-Po Hauler design, its truly a sign of things to come in the #RLC in 2019. The detail on this ALL DIECAST MOTOR - yeah, not plastic (as others have reported) - is unprecedented as far as Hot Wheels castings are concerned. If you take a quick look at what is coming to the club in 2019, you’ll see how much of a stickler for detail Brendon is as he is in charge of all new designs for HWC/RLC. I’ve been a RLC member since year one, and we have NEVER seen detail to the likes of this in a #HWC/ #RLC release before - and like I’ve said, this is only a sign of things to come.Ĭombine that with the hand-painted details that Hot Wheels Graphic Designer Steve Vandervate instituted, and there no telling how far this team will go. Its a great milestone that shouldn’t be overlooked, as the Hot Wheels #Hi-Po Hauler brings in a new era for the club. Hats off to all that were involved in making this, as its truly a marvelous piece.The Red Line Club journey began in 2001, but the first full year was 2002 – 20 years ago.

Blue Öyster Cult’s longest-lasting and the most commercially successful lineup included Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (lead guitar, vocals), Eric Bloom (lead vocals, “stun guitar”, keyboards, synthesizers), Allen Lanier (keyboards, rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Joe Bouchard (bass, vocals), and Albert Bouchard (drums, percussion, vocals). The band’s music videos, especially “Burnin’ for You,” received heavy rotation on MTV when the music television network premiered in 1981, cementing the band’s contribution to the development and success of the music video in modern popular culture. Blue Öyster Cult (often abbreviated BÖC or BOC) is an American rock band formed in Stony Brook, New York in 1967, best known for the singles “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, “Burnin’ for You”, “Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll”, and “Godzilla.” They have sold 25 million records worldwide, including seven million in the United States alone. ![]() ![]() Apple Keynote is slideshow presentation software that features an elegant and easy-to-use interface.

Just shred your cheese, or even use pre-shredded cheese in this recipe, stir it with your half and half and milks and creams, season to taste (yes, taste the cheese mixture because you'll end up with bland mac otherwise), add your eggs, stir it all together with the macaroni, and bake in the oven.
