Gekko’s style is clear and simple: to create, through the trompe-l’oeil technique, a unique pictorial motif on a recurring monochrome background.

![]() Makgeolli (막걸리) is a thick, raw, unfiltered, traditional Korean sparkling rice wine made from only 3 ingredients (rice, water and Nuruk/ yeast.) Note: according to the website I bought this kit from, if you use this Makgeolli Damda kit, your 1 litre of makgeolli will have 100x good bacteria (100 billion CFU) than 1 litre of yoghurt (1 billion CFU)! I'm almost convinced to make this on a weekly basis as a health drink now! □ What is Makgeolli? ![]() Serve with some Kimchi Fried Rice, Kimchi side dishes and banchan turn it into a Korean feast! However, my kit only takes 24-36 hours! Perfect for impatient people like myself! Making homemade makgeolli from scratch would take 7-10 days for fermentation.(Unpasteurised makgeolli has a short shelf life, hence most commercial makgeolli is pasteurised.) Maangchi, a famous Korean food blogger in the US, actually sent her homemade makgeolli to a lab for testing and the report stated that the makgeolli contained vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6 as well as lactobacillus (at a count of 375,500 CFU/mL.) Not bad for a home made alcohol! In comparison, other than Draft ‘Saeng makgeolli ( 생막걸리), shop bought may not have any live cultures in them. In addition, home made makgeolli contains live cultures which are good for your health.A lot of shopbought makgeolli contain artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, whilst homemade obviously doesn't!.Note: If you want a non-alcoholic Korean drink, try Korean boricha! □ Why DIY Makegolli? I tasted the maesil-cheong on the 8th day of the ferment, and it tasted soooo good that I was encouraged to do a few more home fermentation projects: making tangerine-cheong and now fermenting makgeolli at home with a kit! The first time I actually had the courage to try one of my home ferments was when I made maesil-cheong (it can be used for Korean plum tea, Koream plum wine or in cooking. (Other than my homemade salt preserved eggs!) ![]() On one hand, I love, love, loooove the idea of doing it (and eating fermented foods!) but on the other, I never know if I'm doing it right/ whether the resulting food is edible. I have a love-hate relationship with fermenting and preserving food at home. ![]() ![]() Q: Is there any way to prevent late blight?Ī: You can set yourself up for success by taking the following actions, but unless you are willing to spray with a fungicide on a regular schedule to protect plants before there are signs of a problem, there is still a chance that the disease will be carried on the wind into your garden even if you take precautions. Either way, it would be wise to do a thorough cleaning in the vegetable garden this fall. If hasn’t been determined if the late blight around this year is the common strain or a more virulent form of the disease. In the 1980s, additional forms of the fungus were found, including one resistant to some fungicides and able to overwinter in the soil. The common strain of late blight does not overwinter in soil. Q: Can the late blight overwinter in the soil?Ī: The answer to this question has yet to be determined. While late blight is not in seeds, it is unlikely the infected fruits matured enough to produce viable seeds. This applies even to tomatoes with only minor lesions, since we cannot be sure that the infestation has spread to the interior of the fruit and the extent of internal infestation is not always clearly visible.”Ī: To have viable seeds, the fruit must have reached maturity. “We recommend that tomatoes showing signs of late blight disease should not be used for canning. The reason for this recommendation is that fungus infestation may raise the pH of the tomato flesh to a level that makes it unsafe for canning,” the Penn State site reads. “The USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning recommends that canners select only disease-free, preferably vine-ripened, firm tomatoes for canning. Avoid eating anything that looks or smells bad.”Ī: Tomatoes with blight are not recommended for canning or freezing, according to a Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences online site. Q: Can I eat the tomatoes and potatoes from infected plants?Ī: A Cornell University Web site states that the pathogen “should not be harmful to humans, if infected fruit and tubers should develop evidence of decay. This will help to kill the pathogen and limit the possibility of infecting other plants. As heartbreaking as it is to pull out plants with unripened tomatoes hanging on them, the best course of action is to immediately remove plants showing symptoms, place the diseased plants in a black plastic bag and leave it in the sun to cook. Q: I think I have late blight what should I do?Ī: Once a plant is infected, it cannot be cured. It prefers cool, wet weather and is slowed down by dry, hot weather. Late blight can become evident anywhere on the plant - top or bottom. It progresses up the plant from the base and rarely infects the stem. The leaves at the bottom of the plants typically get numerous brown spots with black specks in the center. Septoria leaf spot - another fungal disease - causes leaves to turn brown and die. Infected tubers get dark, circular to irregular spots with raised edges that are dark in color. Typically, the spots appear on the lower leaves first and dead leaves do not fall off the plants. ![]() The spots have tan centers with target-like rings and yellow halos. Q: How can I tell the difference between early blight, late blight and Septoria leaf spot?Ī: Early blight, Alternaria solani, is a common fungal leaf spot disease that hits its stride during warm, humid weather. If you cut open a tuber and discover late blight, be sure to sterilize the knife. Often, other opportunistic fungus and bacteria are present as well and produce a foul smell. If you cut open a tuber, you can see the brown decay. On the stems, you will find black to brown lesions and on the tomato fruits you will see firm, brown spots that get larger until the fruit clearly looks rotted. ![]() During periods of high humidity, if you look closely at the lesions you may notice a white fuzz. These start as irregular brown spots that get larger until the leaf dies. On both tomatoes and potatoes, large olive green or brown spots develop on leaves. A: Late blight’s symptoms are distinctive. ![]() ![]() We arrived later in the day and we didn’t have enough time to see what the auto museum was all about. We were staying close by at the Welks Resort and decided to check it out one afternoon. If you’re curious about going here for wine tasting - don’t! Staff was friendly but didn't offer too much information. If you buy their wines, they discount the wine tasting. This wine held up pretty well and was very well balanced that I ended up leaving with a bottle of it. Was quite fruity and bold for a 2005 and it for being a Merlot. ![]() I did find one wine to be delicious - was the 2005 Merlot. We received a menu sheet describing the wines we were tasting but no one around to ask questions. We also didn't see the wine bottles these wines came from. We couldn't smell the wine varietals because their pours were very small. Was 5 wines to taste but they brought over each wine in a little shot glass. Then our server came out to get our order. ![]() We sat outside since there was a nice artificial water fountain by some tables. ![]() That was where the it got inconvenient for me. First, they suggested we find a desired place to sit and they'd bring over the wines we wanted to taste. As for the wine tasting experience, well, was so-so. As if they're trying to cash in on whatever they can. I thought was kind of cheesy to have a museum as an added attraction. At first I couldn't believe that they have a little car museum beside their tasting room. ![]() ![]() ![]() Improved VST support with many bug fixes and a faster scan.QuickFX: Professional VST effects with many presets and extremely easy operation using just one fader.Quick converting audio files from Windows Explorer context menu.New Oscilloscope and Spectroscope visualization.Instant Action window with shortcuts to frequently used tasks.Wave Coloring, a new graphical representation mode in the data window that visualises the sonic qualities of an audio file.Customizable interface: 4 color levels, new icon design & docking.This same application serves as fundamental complement for laboratory and specific area since it includes together all instruments for recordings and processing, production editing, sound rehabilitation, and manufacturing.

I had a problem with the idea of appropriating other cultures, and stuff like that. And when Gigi started doing it, I was really not sure. But in terms of having a drag daughter, I didn’t know what drag was. Gigi did not want to audition, so I did buy an American Girl doll as a bribe, for her, to get her to audition. And they happened to be rehearsing at a church where my uncle was a minister. So there’s a program in Woodstock called Woodstock Children’s Summer Theatre. I knew that Gigi was always a kid who could sing and dance and really needed somewhere to channel all that energy. Kristi Geggie: No! I’m definitely not a stage mom. So Kristi, are you a stage mom who had a dream of raising a perfect Drag Race contestant? Gigi Goode: Well, the very first play I was in, that my mom bribed me to be in, was High School Musical Jr. And then when I found out that I could be on stage and not have to sing, I could just do whatever I wanted…. One thing led to another, and that snowballed into my love of being on stage. Whether it started from watching the Wizard of Oz movie for the first time, and then moving into my mom bribing me with American Girl dolls in childhood to do summer theater. Theater has always been in my life in some way or another. Gigi, you always back them up with movement that I think tells a story about these characters. The theatricality comes through in these outfits on the runway, for sure. It is the most fun thing ever to get a picture and make something and see something that you’ve created come to life. I have people ask me all the time if I’ll make costumes for them, and I’m like, if I had a dress form exactly your size at my house in Woodstock, Illinois, I might be able to do that, but I can’t take somebody’s measurements and make something that fits them perfectly. Kristi Geggie: I don’t know how other costume designers are able to do it. I can make a garment, but up close, you can’t really look at the inside of it. ![]() ![]() My mom is really good at getting the fabric, the materials, and putting the puzzle together. Because it’s something so unheard of, and picture perfect. Gigi Goode: This is why I talk about it so much on the show, and really any chance that I get. I live in Illinois, and then I FedEx things to Gigi, and they usually fit. On my Instagram page, it shows pictures of the process. I’ll pick fabric, and we’ll go back and forth. So I take the design that Gigi draws and I have a dress form at home that is exactly her size. So I can take a story and make costumes for the story, but in terms of fashion, it’s not really my strong suit. My expertise is more in theatrical costumes. I did actually try to design stuff for her, and she’s always like, oh, that’s cute. Kristi Geggie: Usually, Gigi and I will talk about something, Gigi will come up with an idea and send me the design. What is your collaboration process like? How do you both take an outfit from concept to the runway? Happy Mother’s Day!! /gYEP3KZms1- the “e” is silent May 10, 2020 Kristi Geggie: And I did a lot of screaming. I did not finish my chicken tenders combo. And Maggie, who’s my roommate and best friend from high school, we had just gotten Jack in the Box, and I was just about to take my first bite into my chicken tenders and then I got the call. She was the first person that I called when it happened. Kristi Geggie: I remember! I believe that you were in a drive thru at Jack in the Box. ![]() Gigi, how did you break the news to your mom that you were going to be on Drag Race? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The use of this ride tech suggests that the Classic Monsters land will feature a dark ride which, like Forbidden Journey, could pass through a mixture of both physical sets and domed screens. Perhaps the most exciting rumor to emerge from this upcoming land is that it will reportedly feature an attraction that utilizes the KUKA arm technology, the same mechanics that bring Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey to life over in Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Dark ride featuring all of the Classic Monsters Image: Universal Guest’s affection towards the old Monsters Cafe mostly came from its unique theming, so it would be awesome to see Epic Universe take this to a whole new level with some immersive, tribute store-level theming, while also perhaps featuring a few nostalgic elements from the original Monsters Cafe! 2. One could assume that a revamped Monsters Cafe-style restaurant is among the more likely additions to this land, given the closure of Universal Studios’ original Monsters Cafe earlier this year. Monsters Cafe 2.0 Image: UniversalĪerial photos have shown what appears to be a restaurant-like space situated near the entrance of the Classic Monsters land and it would most certainly make Universal fans happy if a revamped Universal Monsters Cafe were to fill this space. As Epic Universe now hurtles towards its projected 2025 opening, here’s a look at a few things we would love to see in the Classic Monsters area, based off of what we know about the land layout so far. While official confirmation has yet to come from Universal, Epic Universe’s upcoming Classic Monsters land is steadily progressing through construction, with various permits and aerial images emerging every once in a while that continue to confirm fan speculation and suspicion. ![]() Following Universal’s more recent push of these beloved and iconic characters with their Halloween Horror Nights events and merchandise releases, guests have seen the Universal Classic Monsters’ in-park presence continue to grow and now it seems they are about to have a major presence in Universal’s Epic Universe. Long before Epic Universe was officially announced as Universal Orlando's upcoming third gate, rumors of a Universal Classic Monsters land have been rife within the theme park community. ![]() ![]() Use the button in the box below to download the gift tags PDF file, then just print it, cut out the tags, and tape or tie them onto your holiday gifts.

You learn the ins and outs of appropriately pricing items brought in from customers, going off of condition, stock, and popularity. It's quite literally something new every day. Most of our product comes from what we buy from customers, be it books, movies, music, comics, video games, or collectibles. With this being my current longest held job, I have learned a lot in the past four years, and I am continuing to learn as I go. They pressure you to take positions you aren’t ready for, and you beg to be trained, but nothing. And you can forget about work life balance, it doesn’t exist in this company, especially the higher up you get. Older stores have different fixtures/tables/etc, there’s no way for every store to be “the same” instead they should be appreciating each store for their unique features. They will see one person post a great idea, and then force all the stores to do the same thing. They rely on low paid workers in these stores to fix everything, and make changes, while they sit on their phone/computers and don’t actually offer to help on anything. Corporate has no idea what they are doing. Then get angry at you when you go over in payroll, but then get angry at you if deadlines are not met. How can you set your team up for success when you are not set up for success yourself? Training is an absolute joke. They do not know what they want to be, or what they are, and because of this they are constantly changing their policy. This is the most toxic company I have ever worked for. ![]() ![]() For many, there is really no use in pushing back thus the adage “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” is applicable here for many. Also, we should expect Amazon to use its technological breadth to dip more its fingers (or tentacles, if you prefer) into many other industries. We should expect this trend to continue in the future. Moreover, its in-house business intelligence tools rival the most popular business intelligence software out there. Also, sellers almost could not afford to not be on the site. Thus, they have become the go-to marketplace for many customers. This is all to increase efficiency and improve customer experience. ![]() Amazon’s strategy is to leverage technologies across different industries and sectors to pull in users to its platform through ease-of-use and quick delivery times. This trend is not likely to die off soon or even for that matter as long as Amazon is still around. This is what makes the company different. Leveraging InformationĪmazon connects and uses information about customer behaviors in some aspects to make predictions in other aspects of your life (CNN, 2018). All of these and many more remind us of the company’s commitment and obsession with advanced technology. Moreover, they featured the Pegasus Drive sortation robot being used in Amazon sortation centers. This is one of the best innovations to improve transportation and delivery time. Also, they announced Prime Air’s new drone delivery design. ![]() Furthermore, Amazon showcased an electric adventure vehicle from Rivian that can integrate with Alexa. In the conference, Amazon featured talks and workshops conducted by Amazon and industry experts. Jeff Bezos is a well-known advocate of high-tech advances, especially with his Blue Origin venture. They called it Re: MARs which stands for Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics, and Space. It is ready to establish itself as the leader for AI innovations if it hasn’t yet. With these, even smaller brands can protect themselves against black-hat sellers.Īlso, in the 2nd quarter of this year, Amazon launched its new Artificial Intelligence (AI) conference. It is possible that this expansion would enable the inclusion of A+ content and other similar video advertising solutions. Meanwhile, the latter would let approved sellers embellish their listings with videos. In this way, they could control listings and prices with less effort. The former will allow brands to let only approved sellers list their goods. Though the current set of capabilities are great, it is predicted that Amazon will expand those to include gatekeeping and advanced advertising features (Jungle Scout, 2020). ![]() Additionally, through this service, brands can take advantage of premium business tools and features. This ensures accurate product listings and enables businesses to find and report violators. ![]() For brands to protect themselves, Amazon offers the Brand Registry. Expanded Features for Brand RegistryĬounterfeiters and brand hijackers abound in the ecommerce market. The second quarter was a busy one and it sheds some light on the current direction that the online commerce giant is going. These highlights are just the tip of the iceberg. Meanwhile, its Amazon Delivery Service Partners and drone delivery should tighten its control of the market even more. The effect is immediately felt: Amazon Air flights surged 27% from April to August 2020. To that end, it has purchased 11 more Boeing 767 jets for global delivery operations, which should bring its fleet to a total of 85 by the end of 2022. To spice things up even more, Amazon is doing all it can to reduce click-to-door time by exercising full control of the supply chain and mastering the last-mile delivery-the most challenging aspect of fulfillment and delivering total customer satisfaction in its line of business. This is thanks to its aggressive style of going big in every venture. Yes, Amazon is doing pretty well and there is no question about that. The 2020 record performance was $100 billion higher than the previous year, for an unprecedented 84% increase in net profit. In 2020, Amazon smashed all earning expectations, delivering $386 billion in revenue that is up 38% from 2019. ![]() |
