#but all of the ‘make your own font’ programs cost money

Genuine question; how is it self publishing with Lulu and are there any copyright issues? Thinking about taking some of my older world building and turning it into a Actual Novel.

I hope it's okay if I answer this publicly, I've had a few questions about it recently!

I've been doing it long enough that my frame of reference for difficulty may be a little skewed, but it's relatively straightforward -- Lulu has a publishing wizard that walks you through selecting options, uploading a document, adding a cover, and such. There is still a lot you have to do yourself that they don't really tell you how to, but it's not hard to google for some and they do have forums that cover other bits.

There are generally speaking no copyright issues with going through a self-publisher, but it depends on the services you obtain from them. With Lulu -- as with, I think, most Print-On-Demand printers -- there's an array of routes to go from unpublished document to published book.

So you can do it all yourself -- you can edit, proof, typeset, design the cover, purchase an ISBN, and do all the marketing. Or, at any step in the process, you can purchase services from Lulu that will do that for you. I can't recommend purchasing their proofing/design/marketing stuff; on the one hand it's where they make their money, but because of that they're not providing super great value for what you pay. And as a self-publisher, unless you have a massive platform or great marketing and hustle, you probably won't recoup in sales what you paid for.

Whether or not you buy other services, Lulu charges a per-book print fee, but you set your own prices, so like the book might cost $5 to print, but if you set the price at $10 you're making a pretty sweet profit per book. Some other POD publishers also charge a "setup" fee, but I'm not familiar with what that entails.

In any case, there's only one point at which copyright becomes an issue, which is the ISBN -- the serial number and barcode that identifies your book so that (for example) bookstores can sell it and libraries can stock it. You don't HAVE to have an ISBN, but it makes it much harder to get it distributed if you don't.

You can obtain an ISBN on your own -- cost varies by country, many make them available for free but in the US a single ISBN is $125 or you can buy like 100 for $500. If you want to have one but don't want to buy one, Lulu will give you one, but they then become the publisher of record. I don't really know how that works in terms of copyright, but it does impact some rights to the book, so if you use a Lulu-issued ISBN that would be something to research. If you're just publishing a book through them without using their ISBN, they're basically a printer -- they have no right to your book as an item of intellectual property.

Now, outside of copyright considerations, it is certainly more work to self-pub. If you want it to look professional you have to have access to a good program for typesetting, you have to know how to set margins and gutters, title/author headers and page number footers, and if you want to do an epub that's a whole other ball of wax.

I don't get super fancy. I typeset in Word, because Libre Office and Open Office (at least last I checked) didn't have a few of the features Word has, but any other program has a much higher learning barrier to entry. You also have to upload the document as a PDF, so you have to be able to save/print it as a PDF.

Lulu does have a cover-design app you can use to make a cover, but it's extremely basic, so if you don't want your cover to look like it was designed in Canva, you'll need access to a design program like Photoshop or Glimpse, or to commission a cover from someone who does. Once you've uploaded your document, Lulu will give you a template that tells you exactly what size your cover should be, where the bleed margins are, and etc.

And then we get into the nitty-gritty stuff like how only certain fonts can be used for the document (there are twelve fonts that Lulu allows, it's listed on their site somewhere, I just use Garamond) and you need to make sure any art that goes on the cover is either free for use or Creative Commons or similar (or you buy the art for use). Google does have a handy Creative Commons filter on their imagesearch function, which has been useful for me in the past, but on the copyright pages of many of my books you'll see credit given for images used.

So to do your first book there is a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you're past the curve, you'll have some pretty good skills for future publishing. I did a book a year for several years, in my twenties, and then didn't publish at all for several years, and had to relearn a lot when I started publishing again, but it came back pretty quickly. And depending on how fancy or professional you want your book to look, you don't necessarily have to put in a TON of work. Like, I try to make mine look as much like pro-published books as possible, but some authors on Lulu just shove a formatted word document into a PDF and call it a day, they don't bother with headers/footers and fancy formatting and such.

In any case, while I think going the professional route of querying publishers and agents is laudable and certainly I wouldn't advise anyone to go to selfpub first thing, selfpub can be awfully satisfying, and it starts to feel kind of like a fun hobby after a while.

↬ OC Verse Trading Cards

Here it is! The reason (well, one of the reasons) for why I've been so inactive lately. I saw this super cool trading card template by @squea and @buttertrait and thought it was super fun, so I wanted to make something similar for my mutuals and myself. And, as you can see, I rediscovered my love for art deco on the way, so it's very art deco lol

You can find the template to make your own cards here - and I explicitly encourage you to make your own, because I was kinda hoping I would get to see cards of you guys' OCs and we could collect them all in a binder like this one. It would be really fun! (The number next to the name is the power level btw - I wanted to imitate a set of Star Wars trading cards I used to collect as a kid) Make sure to @ me when you do and tag your post with #ocversetradingcards!

I tried to make the template as accessible as possible so that even beginners should be able to use it without any issues. So, I color-coded the layers!

The red layers are ones you shouldn't touch. They make up the main frame of the card. The orange layers are ones where you can play around with the colors, but that's for advanced photoshop/photopea users. The green ones are the ones where you put in text! Edit those freely. Blue ones are ones you have to select and move as a batch - if you don't know how to do that, check below the cut ^^

You'll need to download these fonts:

Park Lane (name & power level)

Market Deco (main text font)

Artisual Deco Black Italic (blog url)

Below the cut, you'll find a tutorial for the template and a list of the image resources I used - Quick info for everyone, including the more experienced Photopea users: Save your image at 50% quality. The template is a big file and the exported image will also be pretty big if you don’t save it at a lower quality. 50% is what you can see above and I think it's a nice size-quality ratio.

Tutorial Time

Opening the File

Step one: Get either Photoshop or Photopea. Photoshop costs money, Photopea is free and runs in your browser. Take three guesses which one I use. Yeah, it's Photopea. As such, this tutorial will be Photopea-centric, and I also have no clue what the Photoshop interface looks like, so I can't really help you if you work on Photoshop. But I'm told they're essentially the same, so...

Step two: Download the fonts listed above from the links in this post.

Step three: Click on the link above to go download the template. It's a bit of a big file, so I put it into a zip file for you. Don't worry, you don't need a special program to open it. Photopea will do that for you.

Step four: Open Photopea. Click on "File" -> "Open..." and select the "TradingCardTemplate" zip file.

Step five: Click "File" -> "Open..." again and select the zip files for the fonts. This will import them to Photopea. There are also preview images included in at least one of the zip files for the fonts, so just close the windows for those projects when they pop up by clicking on the little "x" next to their file name. You only need the "TradingCardTemplate.psd" tab to be open in your Photopea window.

Great! Now you're all set to edit!

Editing the name, power level and blog url

I decided to group these together because they function essentially the same way

Step one: Select the typing tool. It's the little "T" symbol in the toolbar on the left side of your screen.

Step two: Select the layer of the text you want to edit. The blog url one is in plain view. For the name and power ones, you need to open the corresponding folders first. They're the green layers in the folders!

Step three: Click on the text you want to edit. It's easiest to aim for the middle, that way you have the least chances of missing. The typing tool is a bit finicky with that sometimes, especially if the text is small.

Great! Now you can use your keyboard to delete the placeholder text and replace it with your own! The power level will only fit two digits and picking "00" will look bad. Your OC should have at least some power. They need it to breathe.

Changing the size of the name text

As you might be able to tell, the basic text size only works for fairly short names. So, you might have to make it smaller for your OC's name to fit

Step one: Enter your OC's name as described above.

Step two: Select the text as you would anywhere else in your browser.

Step three: Above the little tag where it says "TradingCardTemplate.psd", there's an options bar. You'll find a box there labelled "Size" with a box that says "150px" and a down arrow next to it. Click on the down arrow and a slider will pop up. Play around with that slider until your text has a good size. Then click on the checkmark.

Step four: Switch to the transformation tool. It's the cursor with the directional cross next to it, at the top of your left-hand tool bar. Move your text so that it aligns well with the left side of the frame but make sure it's below the middle.

Step five: You now have to select two layers at once. The text layer and the frame for the name tag. Do do that, either press and hold your control key on your keyboard while selecting the other layer or toggle the control key using the on-screen keyboard at the bottom left of the toolbar. If you use the toggle, don't forget to untoggle it after.

Step six: On your horizontal toolbar above your project window, click on the icon that's a horizontal line with two boxes centered on it.

Congrats, your text should now be centered!

Adding in your OC picture

Step one: Open the "Picture" folder and select the layer beneath "Add picture here". This will make sure your picture will be in the right spot. Also make sure to click on the eye next to the "Pattern" layer tag to make it go invisible.

Step two: Select "File" -> "Open & Place..." and pick a nice image.

Step three: Once the image has been imported, make sure you change the zoom percentage to 100%, that way the image doesn't look pixely or weird. Click on the checkmark.

Step four: Resize your image so your OC fits nicely into the frame. The image should fill the entire space inside the frame and can stick out as much as you want.

Step five: Right-click (or press and hold, if you're on mobile) your image' layer and select "Clipping Mask".

Perfect! Now your image should no longer stick out of the frame. Feel free to adjust your image's coloration, brightness etc. by selecting "Image" -> "Adjustments" and your preferred action.

Changing your stats bars

This works the same for each bar and I tried to make it as simple as possible.

Step one: Open the corresponding folder.

Step two: Select the set of three blue layers together. You can do this by selecting one layer normally, then selecting the other two while holding your control key or while having it toggled using the built-in on-screen mini keyboard at the bottom left of your screen. If you use the toggle, don't forget to untoggle it after.

Step three: Switch to the transformation tool (the one at the top of your left-hand toolbar, it's a cursor with a directional cross) and move your layers. By moving them to the right, you'll reveal more of the gold underneath the overlay. More gold = higher level of the corresponding stat.

Great job! Now adjust the bars to your liking.

Saving your project + card image

To save the project: Click on "File" -> "Save as PSD". This will download the current project under the same name as the file that you downloaded it as. So, it will be called "TradingCardTemplate (1)" or something similar. Make sure you change the name in your files so you know which is which. Alternatively, you can also change the name of the project by double-clicking the little square that currently says "TradingCardTemplate" and type in your new name. If you save again now, it will show the new project name! Make sure to save your project if you want to be able to recover it and/or work on it later!

To save the card image: Click on "File" -> "Export as >" and pick your preferred image file type. I suggest JPG for best results. Make sure to turn the quality slider to 50%, then hit the save button. This will download an image file of your chosen type, under the same name as the project name. To change that name, refer to the bullet point above or go to your files :)

Advanced: Changing the BG color of the pattern

Step one: Select the pattern background of either the name tag, power score or picture and turn it to 100% opacity.

Step two: Color-pick the current background color of the pattern.

Step three: Click "Image" -> "Adjustments" -> "Replace Color..." and click on the colored rectangle in the new pop-up. Replace the default color with your color-picked color. Now use the Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders to get a new color that you like. Note down your slider values for later so you have them for the other elements.

Step four: Color-pick your new color and select the corresponding solid background layer. For those layers, click "Edit" -> "Fill..." and make sure you have "Foreground" and "Normal" selected, your Opacity is 100% and you have "Preserve Transparency" checked.

Step five: Don't forget to turn the opacity of your pattern layers back down to 60%.

Congrats! You have your colors changed! Repeat this process for the other two patterned elements.

Extra advanced: Changing the card's background color

NOTE: I DON'T recommend this. You can do it, but it's a lot of work.

Step one: Select the background layer and change its color to the new color you want. You can do it with the "Hue/Saturation..." adjustment, with the "Fill" edit as described above, or whichever way you want. Color-pick your new color.

Step two: Open the smart object PSDs for the frames for the frames for the picture, the name tag, and the power counter by double-clicking on the preview image of the layer.

Step three: Select the lowest colored layer of each and change its color to the same as your new card background color. Click on "File" -> "Save (Smart Object)". Close the project windows.

Step four: Open the folders for the various stat bars and select the "Color Overlay" layers. Change their colors the same way you did for the other layers. Warm colors and high-saturation colors will most likely not look good here and you might need to find a different way of making the stat bars look good. Playing around with the "Brightness/Contrast" adjustment layers above might help, but I can't promise anything. This is the main reason why I don't recommend changing the card background color. The stats bars are adjusted to the background color.

There we are! Either your card looks very pretty now or you understand why I don't recommend this. Either way: Good job!

Invest in a quality POS system development now!

Do you still run your retail enterprise utilizing a cash register and conventional methods? However, if you have been on the fence in the past, now is the perfect time to update. POS systems today are more user-friendly and economical than ever. You’ll profit from a custom POS software development in every aspect of your organization, not simply the checkout. It’s time to retire that cumbersome cash register and get a fantastic POS system that can help your company expand.

A POS (Point of Sale) system is a hardware and software setup that streamlines commercial operations. A POS is made up of the necessary hardware and software. Hardware for the point-of-sale software may comprise a computer, a physical terminal, a scanner, a printer, and other devices. The software keeps track of and arranges the data from your shop.

Below, we’ll look more closely at some of the major advantages of purchasing a high-quality point-of-sale system.

Saves Managerial Time

POS systems are becoming more and more of a hub that integrates all of your small company software resources, from payroll and scheduling to accounting and inventory management. They are not just tools for processing payments. Modern, cloud-based POS software development either come with all of these capabilities pre-installed or allow you the choice to connect to additional software programs to create your custom software solution, a process known as “integration” or employing “integrated apps.”

Cost savings

A modest investment in a point-of-sale system can have a significant impact on your ability to increase profits. No matter how much money your company makes each year, saving 10% can have a significant impact on the bottom line. Using the shoe store pos system will have a significant influence on shoe retailers specifically if we take 10% into account.

Make Customer Service Better

When a business owner makes changes, the customer experience is always the first priority. A dynamic point of sale system may greatly enhance the shopping experience. Customers today rely on the ability to pay for in-store purchases in a variety of ways, including cash, credit cards with magnetic information strips, debit cards with microchips, and even smartphones using so-called mobile wallets, or apps that hold financial data.

Employee Administration

It’s important to monitor your employees’ activity within the company if you own a firm. Who will be employed in the evenings? Who will be working during the day? a person’s schedule for weekend shifts, the week’s labor costs, the best employee, etc. There are several factors that could leave you dizzy. However, you can construct employee profiles with point-of-sale systems, which will keep their data like contact details, employee ids, names, and login passwords for POS software.

Easy to use and set up

Two of the industry’s top providers are partners with us. With touch screen capabilities, large, easy-to-read font, and other user-friendly features, today’s POS machines from Toshiba and HP are made with the client in mind. The main advantages for your company are that less training is needed for all of your stores to operate the POS terminal. Easy-to-use POS equipment is crucial for lowering expensive transaction errors and increasing productivity for every single customer.

Reporting

Point-of-sale systems provide reporting capabilities that let you maintain a careful check on revenue, earnings, and costs like Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). Data is sent to you in real-time by POS reports, which are formatted with clear information. You can obtain reports with cloud POS reporting whether you’re at home or on the go. You will always have access to the data you need to make data-driven business choices, no matter where you are.

Real-time view

The point of sale offers real-time analyses of the business operations going on. It provides thorough details about all of the company’s facets, which will aid in making judgments. It fundamentally promotes the expansion and development of the organization by emphasizing the critical business procedure improvements that must be made.

Explicit Receipts

Instead of only giving your consumers a slip of paper with the date and the price of the sale, POS systems give them more thorough receipts. The item description, price, and savings from a discount or coupon are just a few of the additional details that POS systems can present using inventory data. With some systems, you can also choose to modify a specific area of the receipt, such as the footer. Using this, you can print coupons directly on the receipt, offer details about your loyalty rewards program, outline your return policy, and/or advertise your social media accounts, among other personalized messages.

Wrapping it up!

POS systems can boost productivity, reduce operating expenses, and boost your company’s bottom line. An ECR upgrade to a point-of-sale system will have a quick return on investment (ROI), both financially and in terms of operational time. With these point-of-sale benefits, upgrading is the obvious choice. Are you prepared to locate the ideal POS system for your company? Get professional guidance by contacting IBR Infotech right away.

Full Stack Developer Education

Choosing to go to full stack developer education is a very smart decision, if you are a web developer who wants to switch to a new career or if you want to expand your skills. In this article, you will learn about the cost of a full stack developer education compared to a boot camp, what skills you will need to become a full stack developer and what the career outlook is for full stack developers.

Career outlook for full stack developers

Developing a career in full stack development is a great option for aspiring software developers. The skills involved are highly in demand, and the job outlook is bright. If you have the right skills and experience, you can start your own business or find a physical or virtual job.

To make the most of your potential, you can enroll in a full stack development boot camp. These intensive classes are designed to help you master new programming languages and technologies in just a few months. These are also a great way to network with developers in your area and learn about the industry.

While you can earn a full stack developer salary with just a bachelor’s degree, you may want to consider pursuing a master’s degree or certification. A master’s degree will help you earn more money in your career, and will give you the necessary technical skills to advance.

You can also take part in a boot camp to learn new programming languages. These are designed to prepare students for employment as quickly as possible. While attending a boot camp may sound like a daunting task, most full time programs last three months or less.

Aside from the official boot camp, you can also pursue a self-taught career as a full stack developer. This is a great way to learn the fundamentals of programming, and also to stay up-to-date with the latest trends in web development.

Cost of a full stack developer education compared to a boot camp

Getting a full stack developer education is a great way to start your career. The market for full stack web developers is growing. Whether you want to work for a Fortune 500 company or start your own business, this program is a great way to get started.

The cost of a full stack developer education varies based on the program. For instance, a boot camp is more expensive than a traditional degree program. However, coding bootcamps have high job placement rates.

Some coding bootcamps offer scholarships and employer sponsorship. Other providers may offer deferred tuition or allow veterans to pay with their GI Bill benefits. Full stack coding bootcamps are an affordable alternative to a four-year degree.

Full stack developer programs are aimed at teaching the fundamentals of web development in a fast-paced, approachable way. Students may also get help from instructors and other industry professionals.

Full stack developer education programs include projects and assignments that allow students to apply the skills they’ve learned. Those who complete the program can receive a certificate of completion.

Full stack web developer programs typically require students to spend at least 20 hours a week on coursework. In addition, students may be required to complete group projects. Students may also need to attend weekend classes. These programs may also include networking opportunities.

Required skills for a full stack developer

Getting to be a full stack developer requires a wide variety of skills and knowledge. These skills and knowledge range from the basic to advanced, and they need to be learned on a regular basis.

The basic skills required for a full stack developer include a knowledge of HTML and CSS. These are important because they help in the design of the website. CSS allows you to alter the color, text, and fonts of a web page. Similarly, HTML enables you to format text and prepare the structure of a webpage.

Another important skill for a full stack developer is the ability to create databases. A database stores all the data needed by the app. These can be financial records or company information. For example, e-commerce websites are built to store data about their products.

As a full stack developer, you should also know how to work with various programming languages. Java, for example, is a powerful client-side programming language. Moreover, Java offers several frameworks that help you design applications. You can also learn to use Node, an open-source cross-platform runtime environment.

The ability to work with a version control system is also a must. A version control system is a software that stores a history of changes to a website. Using this software helps in the efficient management of a project. Popular version control systems include Git, Subversion, and GitHub.

(4.3) • Identify organized alternatives and select among possible alternative to evaluate business options. (2.10) • Create a Decision Making and Problem Solving worksheet document. (4.5) Critical Thinking Questions: (Marks 5) Question 1: (1 Mark) Suppose you are a member of a group asked to find ways to cut costs throughout your organization for the upcoming year. Sales have fallen sharply, and the company is in danger of going out of business. After gathering information, your group concludes that the company will save the most money by freezing pay for a year, despite a tradition of annual salary increases. How can you make sure this is a fair decision? How can you make sure that others in the organization will see it as a fair decision? Question 2: Case Analysis (2 Marks) Care, a health consultancy company in Saudi Arabia, is studying the economic benefits of a program of preventative COVID-19 flu vaccinations. Care has to give advice to government for COVID-19 vaccination. If vaccinations are not introduced then the estimated cost to the government if flu strikes in the next year is SR.70m with probability 0.1, SR.100m with probability 0.3 and SR.150m with probability 0.6. It is estimated that such a program will cost SR.70m and that the probability of flu striking in the next year is 0.75. One alternative open to the committee is to institute an “early-warning” monitoring scheme (costing SR.30m) which will enable it to detect an outbreak of flu early and hence institute a rush vaccination program (costing SR.100m because of the need to vaccinate quickly before the outbreak spreads). Question • As a consultant of Care, Develop a decision tree for alternatives and make recommendation to Indian government that which alternative can maximize expected economic benefits? Question 3: (1 Mark) Decision support tools rely on objective, mathematical data. What part does ethics play in using decision support software? Question 4: (1 Mark) If you collect too much information for analyzing a decision, you can suffer from analysis paralysis, where you spend too much time thinking about a decision rather than making one. Recall a major financial decision you made recently, such as of a car or housing purchase or rental. Describe your process for making the decision. How could analysis paralysis have affected this process? [Please answer in the next page] Answers CLICK HERE TO GET A PROFESSIONAL WRITER TO WORK ON THIS PAPER AND OTHER SIMILAR PAPERS

What is Explaindio?

Explaindio that no other software on the market is so cheap and flexible. While this may or may not be true, it offers a great toolbox for those looking to create animated or explainer videos in a whiteboard or cartoon style.The software is primarily advertised as a tool for internet marketers, which is a fair designation. For educators or other noncommercial groups, you're probably better off with Videoscribe, another whiteboard animation tool that's easier to use but more expensive.Complex to explain and can take some time to learn. Also, it only offers an annual purchase plan. Purchasing the program gives you access to updates during the year, but not upgrades.What I like: Library of pre-made animated scenes. The timeline is flexible and provides precise control over elements. Import your own Font files into 3D Creation.What I don't like: Difficult to use an anonymous interface. Limited free media library. Poor audio performance.Now create videos with explaindio more easily and in a few minutes because explaindio is now offering only 500 characters for only 47$.  This character market value is 5$ for each character.

Why Andrew Darius create Explaindio Carecter 

Andrew Darius owns Explaindio, and his company's team created these 500 characters.Some complaints about Explaindio are that creating characters is a little complicated and time-consuming for those who need to become more familiar with online tools.So they spend a long time creating characters so the user can easily create videos with any character quickly.You want the audience to feel the emotion to connect deeply with your messages and take the action you want.Unfortunately, the problem is that it's challenging to find characters drawn in the right way to give you the full emotional range you need.After searching the major stock image websites, Andrew Darius discovered that the major stock image companies not only neglect emotionally drawn characters, making it very difficult and time-consuming to find something usable, but when you finally manage to find something good enough, It can cost you $20 for a single photo.After spending a lot of time looking for dynamic characters repeatedly, He thought there had to be a better way, and the dynamic character project was born. 500drawnfinal from Andrew Darius on Vimeo.

Hi guys, this is completely different than what I usually post, but I would like to ask you all to sign this petition (it’s a serious one this time, I swear!!). Cricut is a company that makes precision cutting machines for crafting. To use to machine, you have to use their software called Design Space, where you can upload your designs in order to cut them with the machine. Here’s what the petition is about, in their words because they explain it better than I do:

Cricut has just announced they will be limiting our Design space uploads unless we pay monthly fees to use our machines. As many at home crafters know 20 uploads a month is not enough! We paid for these machines and continue to pay for tools & supplies. Now they are going to make these machines useless to anyone who doesn't want to pay their monthly fees. Even if you don't use their fonts or images! For many people who use different programs to make their own designs this is very heartbreaking news. Lets make it known we do not agree!!!!

Forcing people to pay $9.99 a month (the premium plan is $120 a year) on top of the cost of buying the machine ($180-$400) is ridiculous. This screws over small artists and small businesses who heavily use Cricut because this update will start requiring a subscription to use the machine and software they’ve already purchased. 

When I went to a Comic Con way back before this whole pandemic thing, I ran into multiple people who had used Cricut to cut out some parts of their outfits (Cricut can cut cloth, leather, iron-on vinyl, and do engraving and all sorts of other things). So Cricut is screwing over cosplayers too.

I saw a great comparison online: “Imagine you buy a Nintendo Switch and a copy of a game. What if you were only allowed to play that game for 30 minutes a month unless you purchased a Nintendo Online Subscription? How would you feel? This is what Cricut is pulling on us right now.” What good is buying a machine if you are forced to pay extra every month to even use it?

Cricut’s software already sucks (it’s glitchy and very limited), and most people (myself included) have figured out ways to get around those limitations by doing almost nothing in Design Space—designing things in other programs and then uploading them to Design Space when they’re ready to be cut. And so now they’re making you pay for more than 20 uploads per month (which is hardly anything, considering most projects have multiple layers, all of which need to be uploaded separately). And if you upload something and you realize you’ve made a mistake or it’s not quite right (which happens a lot), well... now you’ve wasted one of your free uploads.

This is a list of actions people can take (even if they’re not familiar with Cricut or don’t use it):

https://www.reddit.com/r/cricut/comments/m4x536/consolidated_list_of_actions_to_take/

This reminds me of Disney+ making subscribers pay an additional fee to watch new movies. They’re just trying to get as much money out of people as they can. Which is a change of tune, because back in 2014 they said “creative freedom should be free”:

Well anyway, this is making me mad so I thought I’d share it.

Invest in a quality POS system development now!

Do you still run your retail enterprise utilizing a cash register and conventional methods? However, if you have been on the fence in the past, now is the perfect time to update. POS systems today are more user-friendly and economical than ever. You’ll profit from a custom POS software development in every aspect of your organization, not simply the checkout. It’s time to retire that cumbersome cash register and get a fantastic POS system that can help your company expand.

A POS (Point of Sale) system is a hardware and software setup that streamlines commercial operations. A POS is made up of the necessary hardware and software. Hardware for the point-of-sale software may comprise a computer, a physical terminal, a scanner, a printer, and other devices. The software keeps track of and arranges the data from your shop.

Below, we’ll look more closely at some of the major advantages of purchasing a high-quality point-of-sale system.

Saves Managerial Time

POS systems are becoming more and more of a hub that integrates all of your small company software resources, from payroll and scheduling to accounting and inventory management. They are not just tools for processing payments. Modern, cloud-based POS software development either come with all of these capabilities pre-installed or allow you the choice to connect to additional software programs to create your custom software solution, a process known as “integration” or employing “integrated apps.”

Cost savings

A modest investment in a point-of-sale system can have a significant impact on your ability to increase profits. No matter how much money your company makes each year, saving 10% can have a significant impact on the bottom line. Using the shoe store pos system will have a significant influence on shoe retailers specifically if we take 10% into account.

Make Customer Service Better

When a business owner makes changes, the customer experience is always the first priority. A dynamic point of sale system may greatly enhance the shopping experience. Customers today rely on the ability to pay for in-store purchases in a variety of ways, including cash, credit cards with magnetic information strips, debit cards with microchips, and even smartphones using so-called mobile wallets, or apps that hold financial data.

Employee Administration

It’s important to monitor your employees’ activity within the company if you own a firm. Who will be employed in the evenings? Who will be working during the day? a person’s schedule for weekend shifts, the week’s labor costs, the best employee, etc. There are several factors that could leave you dizzy. However, you can construct employee profiles with point-of-sale systems, which will keep their data like contact details, employee ids, names, and login passwords for POS software.

Easy to use and set up

Two of the industry’s top providers are partners with us. With touch screen capabilities, large, easy-to-read font, and other user-friendly features, today’s POS machines from Toshiba and HP are made with the client in mind. The main advantages for your company are that less training is needed for all of your stores to operate the POS terminal. Easy-to-use POS equipment is crucial for lowering expensive transaction errors and increasing productivity for every single customer.

Reporting

Point-of-sale systems provide reporting capabilities that let you maintain a careful check on revenue, earnings, and costs like Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). Data is sent to you in real-time by POS reports, which are formatted with clear information. You can obtain reports with cloud POS reporting whether you’re at home or on the go. You will always have access to the data you need to make data-driven business choices, no matter where you are.

Real-time view

The point of sale offers real-time analyses of the business operations going on. It provides thorough details about all of the company’s facets, which will aid in making judgments. It fundamentally promotes the expansion and development of the organization by emphasizing the critical business procedure improvements that must be made.

Explicit Receipts

Instead of only giving your consumers a slip of paper with the date and the price of the sale, POS systems give them more thorough receipts. The item description, price, and savings from a discount or coupon are just a few of the additional details that POS systems can present using inventory data. With some systems, you can also choose to modify a specific area of the receipt, such as the footer. Using this, you can print coupons directly on the receipt, offer details about your loyalty rewards program, outline your return policy, and/or advertise your social media accounts, among other personalized messages.

Wrapping it up!

POS systems can boost productivity, reduce operating expenses, and boost your company’s bottom line. An ECR upgrade to a point-of-sale system will have a quick return on investment (ROI), both financially and in terms of operational time. With these point-of-sale benefits, upgrading is the obvious choice. Are you prepared to locate the ideal POS system for your company? Get professional guidance by contacting IBR Infotech right away.

Even more unsolicited resume advice

Corona has probably hit a lot of people hard and it has been a tough time for everyone, especially people who just left college to enter the work force or have been out of a job and had been looking to get back into the force. While this might not solve much, I want to provide some additional advice piggy-backing off a previous post.

<Previous Resume Advice Post>

Again, Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV) since this is entirely subjective and very US-centric. A lot of the resumes that come across my desk are for specialized jobs and higher-levels, so I’ve had a bit of a disconnect with entry-level and recent grad-level resumes. Regardless, I still want to help answer some questions that people have and hopefully give a bit of a push to help you into the jobs you want.

There’s more of this sort of stuff under the tag: ‘adult drivels’.

"What do I write for my Objectives/Summary of Qualifications?"

To be very honest, I only ever see Objectives from people trying to switch careers or from internship/entry-level resumes. At least 98% of the time, we know what your objective is. It's money. I don't care if the objective is to help save the world--believe me, I've seen enough resumes that say something along those lines (worked at a place that kind of championed that and boy is the reality nasty).

Anyway. Write a short paragraph (usually 2-3 sentences, but no longer than a full paragraph) about your skillset. Give me enough detail to want to read the rest of your resume.

Examples:

Finance student with 2 years volunteer experience in business accounting, correspondences with the Federal Reserve, and federal financial law. Specializes in XYZ, etc.

I couldn't make this any more detailed, but you get the gist of it. If not, here's another one.

Recent college graduate with experience in freelance computer repairs for Windows, Mac, and RedHat Linux. Customer-oriented from # years in customer service, and willing to learn new things especially more about network infrastructure and engineering. Currently studying to pass Network and looking to pass Security+ within the next year.  

This is just a personal nitpick, but be careful with very subjective character traits like ‘loyal’ or ‘hard-working’ or ‘effective leader’. Anyone can put that on a resume, but I need you to prove it in your resume. Some industries like this sort of self-description/self-evaluation, but I really don’t trust when people write that stuff down.

(Ex. Someone wrote they were detail-orientated and their resume was littered with typos. Mm, don’t trust like that.)

"I don't know what to write for my job experience. I don't have sales numbers or percentages like these websites are telling me."

You do. You have them, just not consciously.

You worked at Starbucks and trained newcomers? Fine.

"Trained ## new hires on all store procedures, safety, and customer service, and one was promoted to store manager with # months/one new hire won Employee of the Month/and I received formal recognition from corporate."

Or

"Created new training plan/procedures/whatever and implemented it over the course of # months, reducing the time needed for training and increasing effectiveness."

Didn't work at Starbucks? Just joined a club and helped organize a bake sale? Cool.

"Sold $# worth of merchandise for [school club] [sale] which contributed to #% increase in funding for the year's activities, allowing the club to do XYZ.

Don't have the percentage? Do a reasonable guess, or ask. Or just say it helped you guys earn your field trip to wherever. Whatever it helped do.

Didn’t do anything involving cash or numbers? No problem.

“Tutored # students at least # times a week in [subject], working with them using different teaching methods such as [example] and [example]; # students were able to pass their courses with satisfactory grades (insert grades somewhere, if you’re proud of that).”

The point is: [Action] --> [Result].

What did you do, specifically? And what was the direct result? That’s what I’m looking for.

“But I’ve never held a job. This’ll be my first one. How do I write my resume?”

That’s always tough. In this case, you’ll have to play on anything you do have. Volunteer work, school activities, extracurricular activities, personal projects, awards, personal achievements, etc. Sometimes people go for a skills-oriented resume which I don’t actually see a lot.

Basically, standard resumes have your regular stuff:

Personal Information

Summary of Qualifications/Objectives

Education

Job Experiences in chronological order

Extracurricular Activities

Skills

Awards/Certifications

Whatever else

A skills based resume usually replaces the ‘Jobs’ section with a huge-ass ‘Skills Set’ section which contains several main skills you want to highlight for the job and examples of how you demonstrated these skills.

Communication

- Corresponded and tutored students struggling in [subject] class, restructuring and explaining lessons using easy-to-understand anecdotes, resulting in students passing the class with scores of no less than a B. (This is lengthy as fuck, but you get the idea.)

- Successfully led one 24-person raid a month for 2 years in an online game where quick and clear communication and timing was vital.

So, that but multiple times until it fills out your resume.

This goes against my personal opinion about subjective traits, but if it works, it works. 

“Anything else?”

I turn my entire Word document into a table for formatting and then just hide all borders when I’m done.

Always, always export to PDF and do a test print. You never know how it’ll look on someone else’s screen or program. (Especially if you have LibreOffice or something, that really messed up the formatting sometimes.) 

I kind of like Google’s resumes, the one they have in Google doc templates.

To make different things stand out, I mess with fonts. Like sans serif for section titles and with serif for body text. Sometimes I just start going nuts with them, but not too nuts because again, it might not be a font on someone else’s computer.

To test the visual appeal of my resume, I’d usually print it out, paste it on a wall, walk away, turn around, and try to see if I can spot my name and the different section breaks instantly from a distance. If I can’t, I know I fucked up. If I can, great, formatting is clean. One thing I hate as an interviewer is searching through walls of text for important info or section breaks.

If you can, only submit as PDF. I swear, half the time, the Word doc gets mangled by the application platform that people send them through (you know, the automatic uploading thing?) It had definitely cost a few good candidates a job simply because the program mangled the resume’s formatting.

Following these steps still won’t necessarily get you the job. This is cruel, but reality. It could be your resume. It could be just because the role is meant for someone else with a different skillset. It’s not personal. You have to keep trying.

For the last time, TAILOR, TAILOR, TAILOR. You’re fighting with about 30 other people who have put in a hell of a lot of effort to get jobs. They also want the job and have been searching just as long or longer than you. You have to give yourself an edge by not blasting a generic version of your resume at the recruiter. That’s wasting our time and your own time.

Again, all of these opinions are my own and should be taken with a handful of salt and two handfuls of personal judgement.

Good luck on your searches and may the job you want be yours.

Banner Advertising

What is Banner Marketing?

Banner marketing are the little rectangle-shaped advertisements show up on all kind of Web pages and also differ considerably in appearance and also subject, yet they all share a fundamental feature: "if you click them, your Net web browser will take you to the advertiser's Web site."

A bit of HTML code advises an Internet server to bring up a particular Web page when an individual clicks on a particular piece of text. Banner ads are essentially the same thing, except that rather than text, the link is presented as a box having graphics (normally with textual aspects) as well as sometimes computer animation.

Due to its graphic element, a banner advertisement is somewhat similar to a conventional advertisement you would see in a published publication such as a paper or magazine, yet it has the included capability to bring a potential consumer directly to the advertiser's Website. This is something like touching a printed advertisement as well as being quickly teleported to the marketer's shop! A banner ad likewise varies from a print advertisement in its vibrant capability. It remains in one place on a web page, like a magazine ad, however it can offer multiple pictures, consist of computer animation as well as modification look in a number of other methods.

A pixel is the smallest device of shade used to comprise images on a computer system or tv display. The IAB's standard banner dimensions are:

1. 480 X 60 Pixels (Complete Banner).

2. 392 X 72 Pixels (Complete Banner with vertical navigation Bar).

3. 234 X 60 Pixels (Fifty Percent Banner).

4. 120 X 240 Pixels (Vertical Banner).

5. 125 X 125 Pixels (Square button).

6. 125 X 90 Pixels (Switch 1).

7. 125 X 60 Pixels (Switch 2).

8. 88 X 31 Pixels (Micro Switch).

The full banner (468 x 60) is without a doubt one of the most preferred, however you will see all these variations throughout the Internet. These are not the only banner advertisement shapes and sizes, either, but they are a great depiction of the range of usual banner advertisements. There is no universal file-size constraint for banner advertisements, yet the majority of Website enforce their own limits on memory dimension, typically something like 12K to 16K. This is since banner ads include in the complete documents size of the page they show up on; consequently increasing the time it considers a browser to lots that web page.

As you have actually possibly seen while surfing the Web, real graphic content, or creative, differs considerably amongst banner advertisements. The most basic banner advertisements feature just one, fixed GIF or JPEG picture, which is linked to the marketer's home page. More common is the GIF-animated banner advertisement, which presents a number of various photos one by one, occasionally to produce the effect of animated movement. Then there are rich media banner advertisements-- advertisements that utilize audio, video, or Java and also Shockwave shows. These banner advertisements, which generally have bigger data dimensions, are usually interactive beyond their straightforward connecting function.

How to carry out Banner Advertising:.

The designing of a straightforward banner ad is not so hard. For instance to develop a photo for promoting the code resembles this:.

Text to be presented.
