![]() ![]() Behr is The Home Depot's brand of paint, so you'll end up taking your test images there, along with your virtual swatches to pick up your paint. The Behr app works on both iOS and Android phones, and you can match colors from photos in your photos, or pick one of Behr's 2500 colors in its catalog. While you can't upload your own image to the Behr Color Smart app, you can test colors in a gallery of pre-picked images. But the app is certainly fun to play with, and a decent starting point if you're a Sherwin-Williams fan.īehr Color Smart app lets you match color from other images Behr In one kitchen, for example, we could paint some cabinets, but not all. There are limitations on the number of areas you can try the virtual paint process on in a room. A color palette is a nice option because you can also get a range of complimentary hues for trim. You can pick one of their color collection suggestions in the ColorSnap Visualizer, pick any color you want from the Sherwin-Williams catalog, or match up a color from a photo you've taken. Sherwin-Williams suggests you take one with good lighting so you can get the best sense of how color will look on the walls. Instead, you start by using one of their sample photos or uploading your own. This app is actually computer-based, meaning you're not going to download it to your smartphone. Sherwin-Williams ColorSnap Visualizer app Sherwin-Williams Other are single apps you can download to your smartphone that can give you more of a sense of color. Some of these are from major paint companies, and clearly make use of their line of paint. While there are apps and devices that can help you match a color to a can of paint, these apps actually let you apply the paint directly to your wall. These apps simplify that entire process by using digital technology, to virtually apply paint to whatever surface you choose: a wall or even the exterior of your home - all without cracking open a can of paint. ![]() ![]() That often means heading down to a store, getting samples, painting those onto a surface, and waiting to see if the drying color suits you or not. Aside from the work of actually putting paint on the walls, you have to test out which color feels right to you. Everyone's got to work somewhere, right? Big boxes do in fact employ people with the silly notion that if you do things right in the first place with a product that doesn't suck, customers will keep coming back looking to them for intelligent service.Īll in all, IMO if you do a little research and asking around, you might get a starting-point idea of what makes for a good paint guy or not, no matter where he's working.Painting a home is a lengthy job. Eh, screw it all no matter - this forum seems to be popular with more misers than should be allowed to exist )īUT - it's not completely unheard of to find guys who do in fact know a world about paint and mixing and matching working at the big boxes. It's usually where you get the *cheapest* of just about everything, but "cheap" and "inexpensive" are two different matters entirely. box stores aren't even where you get the least expensive of everything. This is true to a degree, but it's like saying that there hasn't been an independent paint store that hasn't hired the clueless. ![]()

Most notably: we learn they have magical doors that allow them to travel through space/time to "unholy places." Besides learning that the whole Kristi/Katie/Hunter saga is but a small drip in a larger pond, the spinoff chapter also teaches us more about the coven of witches that characters like Lois (Katie and Kristi's grandma) and Anna belong to. Little clues in PA4 (like Spanish newspapers on the windows of Katie's house) lead to the story of The Marked Ones. ![]() The demon tried to do this directly by attacking Kristi and her family (in PA2), but the Rey family threw a monkey-wrench into the plan by transferring the demonic force to Katie. ![]() In the case of Katie and Kristi: their family took an awfully long time to produce a male heir (Hunter in PA2), but their grandmother Lois (who is part of the witch coven) "marked" them as "demon brides" when they were children (seen in PA3), making it inevitable that the demon would one day come to collect the offspring he had been promised (Hunter). Such deals have been made all over the world, with multiple young men having up and vanished after grisly murders, presumably having been converted into demonic form for some yet unknown purpose. It goes like this: The witches perform spells on pregnant women (who come to them as bargains and/or unwitting victims - the specifics are unclear) the women give birth and upon reaching maturity, their first male children are "marked" for possession, and are eventually possessed in full. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are designed to last a life time and make excellent family heir looms to pass down to future generations.

Windows updates usually download in the background and install automatically. In some cases, Windows may even become unresponsive. Windows replaces tens of thousands of files when updating, so everything else will slow down during the update process. In some cases, you might see 100% disk usage because Windows is in the middle of updating. Once your PC finishes and restarts, the problem should be fixed. From there, select Updates and Security and initiate the update. To update Windows 10, open the Start menu and click Settings. These updates should be installed automatically, but if you’ve missed the latest release, updating Windows 10 can fix a variety of issues.

Here’s how to identify the cause of 100% disk usage with Windows Task Manager: ![]() ![]() It is an exploitation of style without considering the role Glitch plays in the relationship between society and digital media as well as ignoring any call to real experimentation and exploration into the nature of the medium. The glitches in Kanye’s video is an “effect,” a digital gimmick used in an attempt to add innovative visuals to his otherwise mediocre hip-hop. At very least, glitch-art functions as a reminder that the technology of digital production and information theory remains as an inexorable collaborator in all works of digital propagation and therefore should be treated as significant.” - Evan Meaney (on glitching, 2008) It is an attempt to integrate the nebula of video with a concrete process of interpretation and injunction, thereby incorporating the properties of a medium into the narrative of its content. “Glitching is a process of creating work that raises awareness of the means by which weĬommunicate and ultimately exteriorize thought. The Datamoshing technique is a sort of subset to Glitch Art (see Iman Moradi’s dissertation (Glitch Aesthetics, 2004) \_dissertation\_print\_with\_pics.pdf ) which has been around sense the turn of the century and is a lot more than just an “effect.” It’s hard to ignore the way the internet and new media affect the speed of any given artistic movements course, things jump from the underground to the mainstream with out ever having really integrating itself into popular culture.Īs for this being an “effect” I will also have to disagree. I don’t think the small time gap between the “early” work and the Kanye West video is a result of “basing one's art on an effect” but rather more a product of digital art’s modus operandi. Once the wow factor is past it's just old movies (or whatever) set to spooky festival music. ![]() ![]() Of the two examples you've given, the Murata is the weaker for that reason. That you are calling the Davis/Rad and Murata "two early examples" when they preceded the West vid by a year or two shows the futility of basing one's art on an effect. He talks about the *content* of the datamosh (although he doesn't use the word datamosh) and questions the role (and sufficiency) of the artist-as-editor. ![]() Davis/Paper Rad piece: on YouTube it says "Umbrella Zombie Mistake" but here you are calling it "Umbrella Zombie Datamosh Mistake." Where did you find the revised title?ĭavis posted some of his code (with amusing comments) in a PDF for an exhibition called "Structures Found/Structures Lost." He also has some commentary about recycling pop culture. ![]() ![]() Yet by doing the majority of students' thinking and rushing to solve their problems, we reinforce that idea. From a neuroscience perspective, that's just wrong. Only they can do that, and yet we fall victim to the idea that if the student isn't learning or isn’t paying attention, it's the teacher's fault. No matter how entertaining you make your lectures, you can't make your students pay attention. And that's a huge problem because, ultimately, no one else can be responsible for our learning. At its core, that translates to the idea that the person in charge of their learning is someone other than them. ![]() After years of classroom lectures, students everywhere - regardless of cultural or socioeconomic background - had internalized the idea that students are supposed to get answers from teachers. They have the collected knowledge of the world available at the click of a mouse, but they never use it to look up things they don't know. They have brand new textbooks that they never crack open. Today's students have incredible resources - and a troubling lack of resourcefulness. After enough of those sessions, our students stopped bothering to ask us for the answers - they already knew all the behaviors that would lead to understanding.Ĭurious whether this shift in our students was just a fluke, we began working our way through the scientific literature, and the picture quickly became clear. How can we find that out?" Again, the student would go to the book. We should probably look it up." The student would look it up, ask another question, and we'd say, "Hmmm. When a student asked how something was done, we'd play dumb and say, "I don't know. Eventually, we turned our tutoring sessions around. They knew we'd do everything we could, so they stopped doing things for themselves. Pretty soon, we realized that our desire to help was exactly what was hurting our students the most. It was our job to make sure that they understood and succeeded. Ten years ago, when we started tutoring full time, we did everything we could to help our students. We've seen this tactic succeed on a personal level. We want our students to do as much thinking as possible, and that's why the world's greatest teachers actively avoid teaching. No wonder! Flipping the classroom shifts the metacognitive balance toward the students. His peer instruction approach has since grown into the flipped classroom movement, and research shows that it consistently produces better results than traditional lecture-based classrooms. Mazur decided he needed to force his students to think more, so he made them teach each other. As a professor of physics at Harvard, Mazur was working with some of the most educated undergraduates in the world and yet, as he discovered, their lack of understanding was truly shocking. That's exactly what Eric Mazur decided to do. So share the wealth! If you really want your students to be better learners, then let them walk a mile in your shoes. That's exactly what makes an expert learner. Now sit back and watch me lift all the weight." Teaching is hard work - you have to be constantly engaged and aware of your process and how to improve it. You're like a personal trainer who says, "I'm going to help you meet all your fitness goals. ![]() However, it's far too easy for your students to kick back, disengage, and wait for you to simplify the material for them. To succeed, you need to think about your own thinking (How did I learn this? How have I taught this before? What worked and didn't work?) as well as your students' thinking (What do they know? What will keep them engaged?). ![]() The only problem is that most classrooms are set up to promote metacognition in the teachers, not the students. If you want your students to learn as much as possible, then you want to maximize the amount of metacognition they're doing. Metacognition (or thinking about thinking) is the secret to and driving force behind all effective learning. In this report, 600 pages of research culminate in a single word, which the NAS identifies as the key to effective learning: metacognition. In 2005, the National Academy of Sciences reviewed everything we know about learning in a paper called How Students Learn. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here, you should be able to see a troubleshooter titled Windows Store Apps.

What you have to do is to grab a clean piece of foam and apply a little amount of nail color on its corner. This is specially used when we work with glitters. Stop! Don’t be so hastened, wait for it to settle over your base and then pull off the tape.Another way is to cut out the desired shape in tape and then stick it on the nail.After it dries, pull of the tape and your nail art is done! Now after you base coat, the next thing is to cover the area you don’t want to be coated with your next color through scotch tape and apply the next colour.And if you don’t have an expert hand you better continue with the scotch tape tool or make the abstract patterns using water and foam etc.So just take a thin brush and dipping it in the 2 nd nail-paint, draw the desired pattern.If you’re good in drawing and have a steady hand you’ll go fine while making patterns and shapes using tin faced brushes or sticks.
