![]() You almost feel bad for saying they're the best things here, given that Bangalter and De Homem-Christo have gone to the extreme of employing an 85-piece orchestra in order to not make straightforward electronic tracks. That leaves us with a handful of straightforward electronic tracks. It won't necessarily have been better, but there's none of the head-turning WTF? factor that's accompanied past Daft Punk tracks in the past. Anyone with an inclination towards the kind of 12‑in singles that get bracketed as cosmic disco or new Balearic will undoubtedly have heard stuff that sounds like this. These have some lovely moments – Rinzler's dramatic explosions of In the Air Tonight drums, the beautiful ebb and flow of Solar Saile – but there's something faintly underwhelming about them, perhaps because the inspiration of 80s-era Maurice Jarre and Vangelis hangs heavy over them, and dance music has explored both those influences pretty thoroughly in recent years. Then there are the tracks that attempt to meld electronics – usually a lonely throbbing synth line – with sawing strings and brass sections. There are the straightforward orchestral tracks, which sound suitably grandiose and cinematic, but with the best will in the world, could be the work of anybody. ![]() The results fall more or less into three categories. The faked tracks just sounded like Daft Punk, which apparently was never on the cards for the actual album: "We knew from the start that we were never going to do this film score with two synthesisers and a drum machine," explained Bangalter of their decision to co-opt an orchestra. What effect might the duo have on the world of the film soundtrack? But, for better or worse, it turned out to presage virtually every subsequent development in pop for the next decade, from the prevalence of Auto-Tuned vocals to the fetishisation of the 80s to the rise of the Guilty Pleasures phenomenon: it may well be the single most influential album of the last 10 years. On its arrival, Discovery appeared to be a cheese so ripe it threatened to stink your house out. ![]() The filtered house of their debut album Homework spawned imitations from everyone up to and including Madonna. Second, Daft Punk's ability to shift the course of pop music has been proven beyond measure. It occasionally seems less like a film that actually got made than a dream Thomas Bangalter might once have had. For one thing, Daft Punk might have been put on Earth specifically in order to record a soundtrack for a sequel to Tron: their 80s retro-futurist aesthetic is clearly indebted to the original, which variously features primitive electronic graphics, the soft rock of Journey, a plot in which a programmer becomes part of a neon-glowing computer mainframe after being shot with a laser, and the Scarecrow from Scarecrow and Mrs King. You can see where the expectation comes from, though. There's being excited about a forthcoming record, then there's being so excited that you start speculating wildly about what it might contain, then there's being so excited you come over all Mike Yarwood and start doing impersonations. This time, the Tron leaks turned up everywhere – just in time for Disney to announce they were not the work of Daft Punk at all, but a slightly nutty-sounding Daft Punk fan with a YouTube account.Īt least it told you something about the degree of anticipation for the soundtrack. Unfortunately, the devotees duly discovered that no, they weren't faked yes, Bangalter and De Homem-Chrosto were responsible and no, the tracks weren't a joke. In the enormously unlikely event that they were responsible, it was suggested, these tracks were clearly intended as a joke to put people off the scent of their forthcoming masterpiece. When tracks purporting to be from the follow-up to the multimillion-selling Discovery emerged online, a lot of devotees rushed to announce that they were very obviously faked, that two zeitgeist-defining musical geniuses such as Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo couldn't possibly be responsible for anything so shoddy and uninspired. You would think that Daft Punk fans might exercise caution when it comes to internet leaks after that unfortunate business with their last studio album, 2005's Human After All. L ast summer, Daft Punk's soundtrack to Tron: Legacy leaked on the internet.

When Autumn Falls by Kelli Nidey is a stunning book, the illustrations which are painted paper collages, by Susan Swan are so richly colored, you will want more after turning the last page.

The Google Fi SIM Card Kit with $10 of bill credit normally costs $9.99 and is currently $7.20. At this time last year, the price was 55 cents.Google Fi has long sold SIM cards at physical and online retailers, and Amazon is now offering those kits, which include a month of service, at a discount. The USPS is proposing to raise the cost of a first-class stamp from 58 cents to 60 cents, citing inflation and operating expenses. ![]() Those concerns echoed doubts the regulator raised last summer, as the USPS prepared to institute delays in first-class letter delivery.Īs in other recent service updates, the new delays come as prices continue to rise. On the financial side, even if the Postal Service's savings predictions are accurate, the commission said, its own analysis found that "the proposed changes would not substantially affect the Postal Service's overall financial condition." On a more basic level, the commission doubted the USPS' ability to implement its proposal, stating, "At present, the Postal Service has not demonstrated that it can achieve reliability, efficiency, and economy in its service standard changes." It also found the service's "estimated cost savings may be inflated." And it expressed concern that the USPS might not have a detailed idea of consumers' preferences for delivery times. The regulator also said the Postal Service hadn't accounted for another challenge to its plan: the shortage of truck drivers. In an advisory opinion last September, the commission agreed that the package volume being designated for longer delivery times had consistently failed to meet goals, and it said USPS does seem to deliver better service when relying on its own network.īut the commission also questioned the USPS' predictions for the new standards' impact, noting that its models used data from October 2020 - a unique time in its history, given the stresses brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Politics The Senate has passed a bill to save USPS billions of dollars and reform deliveries First-class mail, which had risen to nearly 90% on-time delivery after standards were eased last fall, fell to 86.7% in this year's first quarter. In the first quarter of 2022, the average time to deliver a piece of mail or a package was 2.7 days, according to the USPS. Packages were initially intended to be part of that same shift, but the agency delayed that part of the change until this spring. The longer delivery standards for packages come months after the USPS slowed delivery standards for first-class letters last fall. "Modifying service standards would allow for additional transport time and increased efficiencies across the networks." "The Postal Service is continually looking for ways to improve performance and provide customers with consistent, cost-effective, and reliable service," USPS spokesperson Kim Frum told NPR. A small number - 4% - will move to a shorter standard of two days instead of three. But the new rules won't affect about 64% of first-class packages, the USPS says. Some packages will see delayed deliveries, particularly if they travel long distances. Right now, more than 20% of those packages have a two-day delivery standard, and nearly 80% have a three-day standard.īusiness Mail Delivery Is About To Get Slower And Pricier Just In Time For The Holidays The changes that take effect on May 1 deal only with first-class packages, which mainly include small and lightweight packages such as prescription drug orders. The USPS wants to be more efficient, and it says it will save money by reducing air costs. The new standards are part of the postal service's move to rely more on its own ground transportation network rather than using air transport. But under new standards that take effect next month, more than 30% of first-class packages will be seen as delivered on time if they arrive within four or five days. Postal Service currently considers a first-class package to be late if it's delivered more than three days after it was sent. First it was letters and now some packages may take longer to arrive. ![]() ![]() More of your mail is about to get slower. The service is about to set longer delivery standards for first-class packages, in a move that its regulator says will not have a big effect on its finances.

![]() Both offer free and paid plans and a few customizations. ![]() I have heard good things about Watermarkly and which you can batch watermark photos from the web. With Photoshop you can automate quite some functions you have to do on a regular basis and the edition features of Photoshop are so professional and honestly, it feels limitless. But I understand if you don’t use it and this post is probably not for you unless you want to take a peek and see how good it would be to use it. If you are a content creator, blogger, or just work with photography, I definitely recommend using Photoshop or Lightroom for photo edition. ![]() What if I don’t use Photoshop, are there alternatives? This strategy is especially important for professional photographers, content creators, bloggers, and artists. Sometimes my watermarks are barely visible but people notice when they want to know where the photo came from. I don’t like to make my watermarks scream at people. One thing I usually recommend when watermarking photos is to use fade white with a slight shadow. Of course, for some people, a watermark is a simple way to “sign” their art pieces. Making your work easily identifiable might help viewers find you and more of your work, especially if it gets shared around the Web. Watermarking your images also serves another purpose: letting people know who the image belongs to. The Watermark is not the perfect solution but at least you are not handing your images away that easily. Image theft has rapidly increased over the past few years. The problem is not the downloading part is the use people might give and the worst one is crediting themselves as the authors. “Oh! Wow-Love that beautiful photo!” Right-click. With the arrival of digital photography, so did the ability to easily “steal” photos from blogs and websites, as well as by other means. Why should I add a watermark to my photos? Batch processing can automate tedious chores for you. For this, you need Actions that later can be automated so the system makes all tasks by itself. This is a feature in Photoshop that helps you turn simple repetitive tasks into easy and automatic processes. But first, you might ask: What is Automate Batch in Photoshop? To add a watermark to photos you just need to create your watermark placing PS Action and then automate batch them all which is what I’ll explain here. They have lots of tutorials on how to use their App. You can also learn a lot about this on Adobe’s site. Photoshop Actions is my go-to whenever I have to repeat certain steps or editions like resizing, watermarking, cropping, etc. Even though I’m constantly learning new things, this process is something I never change since it saves me tons of time. I’ve been doing this for at least 7 out of the 9 years I’ve been blogging. This is not sponsored, I’m just sharing my point of view and why I love it so much. Nowadays, you can have your license to use Photoshop for $9,99 so you can make the most out of your images and editing skills. Photoshop is no longer an impossible app. Watermark Photos with Photoshop Automate Batchīlogging is hard enough so whenever I can make things easier for me I’ll go for it without blinking.
