Then, you can go ahead and delete the black layers and merge your artwork layers. Undo and rearrange until there’s no white space and no overlapping black space. If there’s a white space somewhere it means that you moved the layers too far off the canvas. If that’s the case move the layers accordingly until there’s no black line visible. But if you aren ’ t able to update to 5X, the black layers will help you see if anything is overlapping. The Procreate 5X snapping update is very accurate and your groups should snap exactly into place. The black layers we created before help you see if the groups are overlapping. Again, the orange and blue guidelines will show you when it snapped into place in the centre. Then, select the second group, click on the Selection tool, grab the selection and move it halfway up. Make sure you don’t move the group over the sides of the canvas. The orange lines snapping in the middle and on the bottom will show when you hit exactly on the centre point. Grab the selected group and drag it halfway done. Then, click on Snapping and make sure that Magnetics and Snapping is selected. Tap on Uniform in the appearing lower menu. Select group 1 and click on the Selection tool (the little arrow in the top left corner menu). Group your layers and then duplicate the group. Lower the opacity for that layer to around 50%. Next, create a new layer on top of your artwork layer and fill it with black. You could duplicate the whole document to save the original layers or put them into an invisible group. If your drawing from step 2 is not on a single layer, I recommend to merge it into one. You can draw anything you want as long as your artwork doesn’t touch the edges of the canvas. Once you set your canvas, you can start drawing. It’s necessary that the canvas is square, because then it will able to be tiled which is key when creating a seamless pattern. This size will ensure high resolution if you do intend to print your pattern at any point. How to create a repeating pattern in Procreate Step 1Ĭreate a new 10 inch by 10 inch canvas at 300 dpi.

What seemed to offend visitors to Ogrish most was the sensationalist context and pornographic links rather than the actual content of the videos indeed some media commentators felt unease that ‘reputable’ online news websites such as the BBC’s and the Sunday Times Online, to name but two, had gone public with statements after the Kenneth Bigley beheading announcing they would not link to the murder video on the grounds of taste and that it was gratuitous. This led to attempts to censor the site in countries such as Germany and Spain and arguably precipitated Ogrish’s efforts to reinvent itself. Sex and death side by side in this snapshot of the Ogrish homepage sometime 2005.Īside from its hosting of insurgent videos, the website also drew fierce criticism in the wake of the 9/11 bombings and natural disasters such as the Asian Tsunami (December 2004) and Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) after graphic pictures and clips of victims were posted without consent from relatives. Admittedly, all news agencies will edit terrorist press releases but Ogrish’s tendency to segregate the ‘money shot’ was undeniably exploitative. However, Ogrish would often merely isolate the violence, completely transforming the original meaning and context of the death media, effectively reducing the body from cultural artefact to site of spectacle. The beheading videos that were issued by insurgents were often quite sophisticated, with intricate opening and end credit sequences, ‘confessions’ from those about to die and lengthy valedictions from the executioners. Typically, the clips would be posted on a main menu sub-generically once the sub-genre required was clicked on the user would be redirected to another menu offering a specialised assortment. For every beheading there would be a hostage appeal with no grisly payoff, clips of mujahedeen playing with guns and rockets devoid of body horror and violence, and scenes of abstract destruction where bombs exploded and smoke billowed but no human forms were in plain sight. The media conflict in Iraq escalated after the 2003 invasion, generating a huge volume of visual imagery from both the insurgents and the coalition forces themselves, and one result was that Ogrish redefined its boundaries in terms of both the security and banality of clips hosted on the sites. * Afghan Warlord Escapes Suicide Bomb Attack – Higher Quality (Taken from menu on homepage at accessed 6 th March 2005) * 2 Iraqi Workers Beheaded on the Streets – Full Version * Feast Of Sacrifice – Asian Continent 1-21-2005 – Higher Resolution Version * Full Version Of Ansar Al Sunnah Army Executing General * Goats Throat is Slit in Sacrifice Feast on Asian Continent – Higher Quality Before its attempted public image overhaul in 2006, visitors to the homepage would be presented with a menu of newsworthy events and unrelated marginalia, linked only by the fact that the visual media was of a violent, sensational or bizarre nature and usually centred on the ruined human body: The clips were labelled and their context explained by genuine and faux news reports, unlike other shock sites of the time such as Consumption Junction that presented clips in a for a lulz manner to diffidently shrug ‘nothing’s shocking’. Yet, despite this ethos, there was a reverence for death and violence that meant the portentous demeanour of the site was ultimately affirmative instead of post-punk nihilism, at Ogrish death mattered. Here, the transgressive imagery was placed in a context where it supposedly opened peoples’ eyes to the brutal and arbitrary nature of the everyday. The original look of the Ogrish site was dark and baroque, with its rationale epitomised by its catch line ‘Can you handle life’ with the violent and upsetting materials showcased as a means of challenging the viewer. In this 3 rd instalment of a 4 part Ogrish retrospective, we take a closer look at the form and content of the shock site and how it repackaged itself as an alternative form of news service for the digital age. It was Pixler's dream (some have said folly) to build the biggest city in the archipelago on Pyon, its light so bright that the darkness of the Hour would be a grand irrelevance". The work of an entrepreneur by the name of Rojo Pixler has transformed the island utterly. Pyon is described as having been "once a quiet island, but no longer. The result is either instant death (as in the human world) or euphoria. It has been calculated that a visitor to Idjit is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man on the roosts of Efreet is to be hit by bird excrement". It shares with neighbouring Gorgossium a "spiky, barren topography, storms rage perpetually about the landscape. Klepp, who never visited it while sober, described Idjit as an island of "immense charm", saying that it "encourages excesses, a kind of happy foolishness". The character Christopher Carrion uses the pyramids as a breeding-ground for the diverse, monstrous insects known as the Sacbrood. The writer of Klepp's Almenak, the omnipresent traveller's guide to the Abarat, disagrees, claiming that "the tombs at Soma Plume are calm and curiously reassuring places" whereas the six pyramids at Xuxux are "sites of mystery and tragedy". were "designed by the same hand and built by the same masons". Some have suggested that these pyramids and the Ziggurat of Soma Plume at 5:00 p.m. "There is no quieter place in the Abarat than at One o'Clock in the morning, where the six Pyramids of Xuxux rise out of the dark and uncannily placid waters of the Izabella". Below are descriptions based on statements attributed to the character Samuel Hastrim Klepp, author of the popular tour-guide Klepp's Almenak: Together, they compose what is described as "a limitless world" encompassing "chaotic diversity", called Abarat. These islands are mounted in the Sea of Izabella, an ocean sometimes personified by the characters. The series is set on the "Islands of Abarat", of which each is based on a time of day (except the last island, which is based on the 25th hour). As the number of paintings increased and the plot idea expanded, he decided the series would require four books (later increased to five) to fully contain the plot and characterisation. He had originally intended for these paintings to be used in a 25-story "Book of Hours". Until The End of Time (forthcoming tentatively titled)īarker began painting illustrations for the first book in the series, Abarat, in 1995.Kry Rising (forthcoming tentatively titled).The series is intended to consist of five books: The series takes place on the Abarat, a fictional archipelago consisting of twenty-five islands, one for each hour of the day (and one extra). The series is intended to contain five books, three of which have been published from 2002 to 2011. The Books of Abarat are a series of young adult fantasy novels written and illustrated by English writer and visual artist Clive Barker.

Masks: Masks work very similarly to those found in After Effects.There are a lot of features that you will immediately recognize: If you’ve spent time with Adobe After Effects, you’ll quickly be able to jump into HitFilm. They also have an ever-growing network of forums online that answered all of the questions we had about the software when we did a quick Google search. When you launch HitFilm, you are immediately welcomed with a page that has tutorials and articles about HitFilm. If you’re completely new to HitFilm, you could probably learn most of the features within just a few hours of messing around in the software. HitFilm uses human language to label their software and it makes the entire editing/compositing process very easy. We were able to jump right in and use HitFilm without any problems whatsoever. If you have any experience with modern video editing applications, you’ll quickly be able to pick up HitFilm. However, this can occasionally lead to some cramped working conditions if you are working on a laptop screen. You don’t have to squint your eyes to see them. The buttons and icons are big in HitFilm, which is fantastic. Unlike other high-end compositing softwares, HitFilm is a layer-based software, just like After Effects. Inside the compositing interface, you will find a series of effects, tools, and features that are ‘sexier’ versions of After Effects plugins and effects. Compositing is a great descriptor for this tab because that’s clearly what HitFilm was designed to be. The compositing interface is essentially a hybrid 3D version of After Effects - but unlike After Effects, you don’t have to open a separate software. In my experience with HitFilm’s editing interface, I never once ran into any playback issues or bugs, which is more than I can say about Premiere Pro. While it doesn’t have all of the features associated with modern day professional video editing applications, it has all of the basic tools you need to do a simple-to-intermediate editing project. The editing workspace looks and feels like a modern NLE, complete with video and audio effects. In this regard, it’s very similar to DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Lightroom. There are two main layouts which you will use when working inside of HitFilm: Edit and Compositing. The sleek design is easy to navigate and the buttons and icons are all virtually self-explanatory. The software is essentially Premiere Pro/Final Cut Pro and After Effects combined into one editing platform. Users with just a very basic understanding of video editing software will be able to figure out how to use HitFilm 4 Pro. The professional video editing world is notorious for creating very unapproachable products, but HitFilm is completely the opposite. Their latest release, HitFilm 4 Pro, is an amazing reminder that video innovation is not dead. HitFilm gave us the opportunity to review their new software. While it seems like other software companies have been slowly plateauing, the good people at HitFilm have quietly been perfecting their software. It’s hard to remember the last time we’ve been really excited about a new software launch. All of our reviews reflect our honest opinions of the software. With a slick interface and advanced editing features, HitFilm 4 Pro is a post-production powerhouse.Įditor’s Note: PremiumBeat is not paid by any software manufacturer or developer.
“The pandemic has taught us that the success of a church should be measured by how well it engages different facets of the community Monday through Saturday,” he says. “We’ve been able to reach people who would not have set foot in a church normally.”įor Foster, the changes since the impact of COVID-19 have been nothing short of transformational. Nino, 34, director of the event center and longtime church staff member. “You can see the transformation in lives,” says Robin L. “We’ve seen people come to our church because of the event center and give their lives to Jesus,” says Foster.Īt a wedding there last year, the bride and groom, both gang members, connected personally with Foster and began attending LifeBridge with their children, and gave their lives to the Lord. It also provides finances for the church, serves as LifeBridge’s north campus, and creates jobs for people in the community. That facility, leased in 2020 and purchased in 2021, hosts 100 to 200 community events per year, including quinceañeras, weddings, and retirement parties. He hopes to employ residents at the church’s event center north of town. If approved, the ACTS Foundation will be the community’s owner-operator and “provide wraparound services, partnering with a homeless services provider,” according to Foster. The units, which resemble apartments, are quick to construct and cost less than other types of accommodation. Today, a much bigger project is on the horizon, involving the construction of nearly 100 homes for the needy in Fresno.įoster says through a series of divine interventions and miracles, and with outside guidance from CityServe, an AG-affiliated compassion ministry, LifeBridge’s ACTS Foundation (Actively Coming Together Selflessly) is partnering with the City of Fresno to apply for a $25 million grant from the state to build a new 96-unit, modular housing complex in Fresno. “That sent us to another place in our community, and the Lord opened doors for us,” Foster says. In 2021, LifeBridge won a “Frontline Hero - Community Hero” award from Fresno County. “The community has really gotten on board with it,” Foster says. The church made the store its grocery distribution point. LifeBridge opened the Mint Thrift secondhand store, which offers used furniture, clothing, toys, jewelry, and other items in great condition. “It goes to our theology that we don’t want to just impact people for heaven, which will always be most important, but to impact them on earth, too, by lifting them economically and socially,” says Foster, 50. LifeBridge then decided to create more community-based outreaches. LifeBridge fed more than 50,000 people during the pandemic alone, Foster says, and still distributes large amounts of food, with volunteers delivering the fare in-person twice a month to 110 senior citizens’ homes. In mid-2020 during California’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, the church began offering drive-up curbside prayer and food giveaways, turning its “sanctuary into a storehouse” and forging a long-term partnership with a local food bank to feed people. That’s because LifeBridge embraced the challenge of ministering to its community in new ways. “But for us as a church it had the opposite effect in terms of our mission.” Foster, who planted the church with his wife, Ellen, nearly 18 years ago. “For a lot of people and many churches, the pandemic caused a lot of harm,” says pastor Kevin D. For LifeBridge Church in Fresno, California, the disruptions of the past few years have led to greater community influence than ever before - and may soon include the construction of nearly 100 homes for needy people, overseen by the church’s nonprofit arm.

Lyme disease rashes can spread to be over 12 inches across. The Lyme rash below might be small, but it still has the characteristic bull’s-eye shape. The lighter colored area will expand outwards, leaving a white ring around the center. You’ll see a concentrated area of red in the center followed by a lighter color red around the edges. It typically starts out as a small red rash and develops the bull’s-eye shape as it spreads. Photo #1: 17 Days Post Biteīelow are pictures of the bull’s-eye Lyme rash. I also started feeling tired as hell and my back hurt (though the back pain might have been from hiking with my 2-year old in her backpack carrier the day before). It still didn’t look like a bull’s-eye rash, but was definitely getting bigger, which is a sign of Lyme. While waiting for the test result, the rash started spreading. I immediately went to the lab for a test. It would be considered an “atypical Lyme rash.” Unlike what the CDC says, my Lyme rash actually itched a little bit. It was very narrow and followed the crease of my knee. The red rash (more like splotch) was only about 2 inches across. Anyway, by August 14 th, I noticed a smallish red rash on the spot. But, I guess I must have missed it or pissed it off while removing it. I’m really diligent about checking for ticks and even carry a tweezers with me in my wallet and my hiking first aid kit. In my case, I removed a nymph tick from behind knee on August 1 st.

It’s important to realize that Lyme disease rashes don’t always look like a bull’s eye. Likewise, it can be very hard for black people and dark-skinned people to notice a Lyme disease rash on their skin. It’s possible that the rash occurs in more cases but simply wasn’t noticed. The rash usually doesn’t itch and will gradually expand. In % of cases, a rash will form near the site of the tick bite within 30 days. Since my Lyme rash didn’t look like a standard bull’s-eye rash right away, I thought I’d share some photos of my Lyme rash as well as photos of the standard bull’s-eye rash and atypical rashes.Īccording to the CDC, a rash will form in 70% to 80% of Lyme cases within 30 days of being bit. Luckily, I was able to catch it early and, other than a few days of extreme fatigue, I am doing fine. I recently got Lyme disease for the first time.
