![]() ![]() Partners often feel that they are busy, but aren’t doing their bit and don’t get a connection with the mother or the baby, they try and help but aren’t as experienced and so it causes a mess. There are a lot of self esteem issues around the mother and the partner, for example the mother is told to loose weight, get out of the house, while “bunkering down” and doing everything for the baby at home and everyone has their own miracle baby trick that is the complete opposite of the next person’s.Parents often want to see other people, have a helping hand or just have a laugh, but communicating with their circle is difficult and often feels like you ‘are a bad parent crying for help.’ There are large support networks around every parent, but this changes when you have a baby as one parent is hard to reach being at home all the time, while the other does things at work and on their way home.Expertise has been taken away from the everyday person and collected in medical professionals – parents now lack the basic skills of early postpartum care and have to keep getting medical advice.Couples get a distance placed between whoever looks after the baby and the one that has to go to work, there is poor communication and understanding of each other’s states. ![]() Opting instead for convenience and speed. Intense focus on health, diet and exercise while pregnant, but that falls apart after baby is born.Constant tasks and relentless caring for the baby creates fatigue and lack of sleep which makes the parents much more susceptible to physical and mental health issues.The core issues we found through our interviews was: The group came together to choose New Parents as we could see that there was a lot of experience and research, but a heavy focus on the baby’s health while almost ignoring the health of the mother and partner. The top three topics that came up were new parents, depression in young adults and social anxiety in teens with autism. I teamed up with Adele and Jess, and after a group discussion we decided to focus on something we all had an surface level understanding of and could access people with the condition. Reported the health status of the user to themselves and their medical practitioner.Supported good health practices and goals.The crux of this assignment was creating a product solution that: The project began with forming groups of three and researching a health condition that affected your ability to perform normal human activities. The following is a visual representation of this: We also analysed the Product Eco System around the parents in regards to their health monitoring and supporting. The human body has simple biosensors that detect if your body is slowing down and becoming fatigued, for a machine to detect this, they monitor either eye-closure and head tilting OR heartrate, sleep length and sleep history. There has been a wide array of research into the area of fatigue monitoring for mechanical, machinery and transport industries as mistakes and lapses in concentration can be very costly or life threatening. After childbirth, the mother must attend to both the child’s and her own basic needs which just doubles the amount of work required to fulfil these basic needs.įatigue affects people slowly and can often be unnoticeable to others until an accident, mistake or major error occurs. When compared to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (see above), you can clearly see how fulfilling the lower levels of the needs pyramid allows a person to have the capacity for friendship, love and self esteem (the things that are most commonly reported as missing during the postpartum period). Intensive Baby Care during fourth trimesterĪccording to Stanford Children’s Health Initiative, the needs of a mother after her child is born include plenty of rest, balanced nutrition and physical and emotional support (Stanford, 2017).Lack of Knowledge and Confidence in Knowledge.The major pain points we have uncovered through our research are: The most critical user needs as a new mum are: As a group, we narrowed down on the problems, spoke to professionals in the QUT medical faculty and interviewed a lot of new and old parents.

![]() ![]() A perfect peal would consist of a group of bells in which all these harmonic conditions were perfect in every bell, and in which all the bells were in perfect musical accord with one another. No science can prescribe the exact conditions by which this adjustment can invariably be secured and no art seems able to correct a defective adjustment when once a bell has been cast. The sound of a bell consists of not less than six individual tones, more or less distinct to an acute and cultivated ear and the quality of the note emitted depends upon the harmonic adjustment of these several tones. Of all musical instruments, a group of bells is probably the most difficult to select. ![]() “Find two or three persons to join me in the matter,” said he, “and we will put four or five bells in place without cost to the University.” This suggestion was acted upon… The requisite money was put at my command and I received direction to make a selection of bells. In the spring of 1882 President White of Cornell University volunteered to be one of three of four persons to place a peal of bells in one of the towers of the new Library Building. I make the suggestion with the understanding that the old bell is not to be taken down till the new ones are in working order. The balance (and perhaps the whole,) will, of course, be turned into the University Treasury, in case the Regents authorize the sale. I expect to put the new bells in their place in the tower without any cost to the University whatever but, in case the fund in my hands should be insufficient to pay for the mounting, I should be glad to be authorized to supplement it from a part of the proceeds from the sale of the old bell. Meneely should take the old bell with its hangings at full price in case the University should desire to dispose of them. In the contract for the peal of bells ordered for the Library Building, it was agreed that Mr. Thirteen years later at a meeting of the Board of Regents on January 3, 1883, in reference to the installation of the Library chimes, which were used for more than half a century, Professor C. Finally, they stole the bell and threw it into the old “cat-hole.” Another time they turned the bell upside down and filled it with water so that the clapper was frozen in ice. Students in the upper classes, objecting to being awakened by the same bell which woke the freshmen, on one occasion wrapped up the clapper so that it could not ring. ![]() It was rung mornings and on other occasions. Pretty-man of the class of 1885, related that during the seventies there was a bell, perhaps a foot or eighteen inches in diameter, on the north wing of University Hall. What final disposition was made of the bell is not known, but Horace G. Thus, for a period of twenty-five years, the question of purchasing a bell for the University was under consideration. ![]() Apparently, the University finally purchased a bell, for on March 28, 1865, appears the following item: “For the Bell … $526.09.” Five years later, on June 27, 1870, it was ordered, “that the Steward be instructed to procure a new bell, of the same weight as the old one, exchanging the old one and paying the difference from the general fund” (R.P., 1870-76, p. On June 28, 1864, almost twenty years later, “the Executive Committee was authorized to procure a bell for the University, not exceeding six hundred pounds in weight.” The matter evidently was of a controversial nature for the resolution was considered and tabled. They “borrowed” it, however, promising to return it “on demand.” On January 14, 1845, Regent Kearsley reported that the committee on finance to whom had been referred the matter of the bell and hangings belonging to the Central Railroad, which at that time were being used by the University, “believing said bell to be too small for the permanent purpose of the University,” considered its purchase inexpedient. The first official mention of music by the University was in reference to bells. The history of the University Musical Society is so interwoven with the development of music in the University, and with the affairs of its subdivisions, the School of Music and the Choral Union, that in order to record the history of any one of these, it is necessary to consider it in relationship to the others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Definitions include synonyms and antonyms which allows the dictionary to also serve as a thesaurus. ![]() Wildcard characters can be used to help with word games like crosswords and scrabble where only some of the letters are known, or you have to find an anagram, or with spelling.

Even better than that, the owners agreed to sell the business to him if everything went well with him serving as the manager. A year after quitting as a bartender, he now found himself as the manager of The Vault. What he had done out of a love for bars and creating experiences had caught their eye. When he met with his bosses, they were already impressed with his ability to promote the other bars in the area. Then I decided to reach out to my old bosses.” What he thought was a stab in the dark was actually his golden opportunity. “I would send some emails, talk to some people, but nothing really came of it. ![]() Prompted by a friend of his, who is now his business partner, he started reaching out to bar owners in the area. I was still in college and enjoyed a good time, so I decided to start promoting bars and get paid to throw parties.” In his junior year of college, it dawned on him. ![]() Disappointed, he stepped away from his role as a bartender and focused on a new idea. Since he wasn’t a manager or the owner, most of his ideas were shut down. Although he meant well, his ideas didn’t go very far. Once he was behind the bar, he saw things that he wanted to change to make the customer experience better. Over the course of the following year, he managed to work his way to becoming a bartender. Garth Tubbs originally started his journey as a bouncer at a nightclub in San Marcos, Texas. While he struck us as a down-to-earth guy, he certainly has lofty dreams and a business acumen to match them. Since buying his first bar in 2019, he now owns three bar concepts and is launching a fourth in Austin, Texas – all at the young age of twenty-seven. Well, Garth Tubbs’ story is one of those stories. After a few hours of detective work on Google, you confirm. You want to believe it, but there is a nagging thought in the back of your head that it just can’t be true. ![]() Find people that are obsessed and bring them together.”Įvery now and then, you come across a success story that sounds just a little too good to be true. “You can move quickly by yourself, but you can go far with a team. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is commonly associated with the 2010 film Inception, but the origin of the sound as it appeared in the film is disputed. South Park created a beatbox version in its season 14 parody episode, ‘Insheeption.’ Soon, every modern action blockbuster started using/abusing some version of the BRAAAM.įor more background on the BRAAAM, check out this podcast.Problems playing this file? See media help.īRAAAM (sometimes uncapitalized, or with varying numbers of repeated letters) is a loud, low sound that became popular in trailers for action films in the 2010s. You might come across BRAAAM buttons over the internet which solely present Hemsey’s version. ![]() Hemsey’s score, alongside his BRAAAM, was later released online as a track called ‘ Mind Heist‘ which quickly took off. However, Hemsey’s BRAAAM had a musical quality compared to Zarin’s version which acted more as a sound design element the former considers it a musical device that has always existed. Zarin claims that the new composer also used his work as a starting point. Audiences, now familiar with both Zarin and Zimmer’s rendition, experienced an updated BRAAAM through the trailer score composed by Zack Hemsey. The most popular version of the Inception BRAAAM was introduced in the final trailer though. Zarin believes this is the point where he lost ownership of the BRAAAM to Zimmer. Eventually, a re-arranged version of the score from this trailer ended up in the film as a track named ‘ 528491‘. Upon the director’s request, Zimmer redesigned the BRAAAM by adding a layer of strings on top of an interpolated version of Zarin’s sound design. Hans Zimmer officially joined the music department with the second trailer. The director responded by sending ‘ Always a Catch‘ from The Dark Knight score and requested Zarin to work around it. After further processing and mixing with pitch-shifted brass samples, Zarin sent an early version to Nolan. Unsurprisingly, Zarin began working on his version of the BRAAAM with train sounds captured using foley on a subway. ![]() The only reference shot available to Zarin at the time featured Leonardo DiCaprio riding a train. Zarin was hired to work on the teaser trailer which was made long before Zimmer was attached to the production. Shortly afterward, composer Mike Zarin came forward to claim the BRAAAM as his invention. And then I added a bit of electronic nonsense.” In a 2013 interview, he said, “I put a piano in the middle of a church and I put a book on the pedal, and these brass players would basically play into the resonance of the piano. Zimmer’s BRAAAM came about as a result of experimentation. According to Zimmer, Nolan described the BRAAAMs as “massive, low-end musical tones, sounding like distant horns.” Nolan incorporated the piercing sound directly into the Inception screenplay by writing it next to scenes. While many consider Inception composer Hans Zimmer to be the father of the BRAAAM, its source of origin is controversial. The BRAAAM is to thriller/sci-fi movies what a sting is to the horror genre. The internet has collectively decided that it needs to be spelled in upper-case with three As in order to replicate the scope of the sound. ![]() Phonetically, BRAAAM is an onomatopoeia – a word, when said out loud, mimics a sound. The mysterious sound has made its way to trailers for almost every recent action/thriller movie. What you just heard upon loading this page was the infamous BRAAAM from 2010 Christopher Nolan classic, Inception. ![]() ![]() One could still give less conspicuous progress feedback. Note added for the web version of this essay: Most web browsers fail in providing useful progress bars, since they don't communicate what percentage of the entire download for a page has been completed.įor reasonably fast operations, taking between 2 and 10 seconds, a true percent-done indicator may be overkill and, in fact, putting one up would violate the principle of display inertia (flashing changes on the screen so rapidly that the user cannot keep pace or feels stressed). If this is not possible either, a last resort would be to use a less specific progress indicator in the form of a spinning ball, a busy bee flying over the screen, dots printed on a status line, or any such mechanism that at least indicates that the system is working, even if it does not indicate what it is doing. For example, a system searching an unknown number of remote databases could print the name of each database as it is processed. ![]() ![]() This latter advantage should not be underestimated and is one reason for recommending a graphic progress bar instead of just stating the expected remaining time in numbers.įor operations where it is unknown in advance how much work has to be done, it may not be possible to use a percent-done indicator, but it is still possible to provide running progress feedback in terms of the absolute amount of work done. Progress indicators have three main advantages: They reassure the user that the system has not crashed but is working on his or her problem they indicate approximately how long the user can be expected to wait, thus allowing the user to do other activities during long waits and they finally provide something for the user to look at, thus making the wait less painful. As a rule of thumb, percent-done progress indicators should be used for operations taking more than about 10 seconds. In cases where the computer cannot provide fairly immediate response, continuous feedback should be provided to the user in form of a percent-done indicator. The fact that computers can be too fast indicates the need for user-interface changes, like animations, to be timed according to a real-time clock rather than being timed as an indirect effect of the computer's execution speed: Even if a faster model computer is substituted, the user interface should stay usable. For example, a scrolling list may move so fast that the user cannot stop it in time for the desired element to remain within the available window. Normally, response times should be as fast as possible, but it is also possible for the computer to react so fast that the user cannot keep up with the feedback. Feedback during the delay is especially important if the response time is likely to be highly variable, since users will then not know what to expect. For longer delays, users will want to perform other tasks while waiting for the computer to finish, so they should be given feedback indicating when the computer expects to be done. 10 seconds is about the limit for keeping the user's attention focused on the dialogue. ![]() Normally, no special feedback is necessary during delays of more than 0.1 but less than 1.0 second, but the user does lose the feeling of operating directly on the data. 1.0 second is about the limit for the user's flow of thought to stay uninterrupted, even though the user will notice the delay.0.1 second is about the limit for having the user feel that the system is reacting instantaneously, meaning that no special feedback is necessary except to display the result.The basic advice regarding response times has been about the same for thirty years : Excerpt from Chapter 5 in my book Usability Engineering, from 1993: ![]() ![]() ![]() Our diversity hiring initiatives include targeted outreach to underrepresented communities, partnering with diversity-focused organizations, and providing training and support to our clients on creating inclusive job postings and interviewing practices.

How to convert PNG files to JPG for free?įirst, you’ll need to upload a JPG file into our tool above. We’d advise keeping the original JPG if you think you might want to print it in the future. Since PNG files don’t contain CMYK information, printing them is tricky. However, you should beware of converting JPG to PNG if you want to eventually print the image. This can be helpful if you have a very special or specific image that you want to be preserved. So if you’re uploading a PNG to a service that compresses images, your PNG upload will look the same as it does on your computer. JPGs must have color information within every pixel, so empty pixels are usually filled with black or white colors. If you have an image with a lot of white space that you’d like to remove in editing software, you won’t be able to do it. The biggest reason to convert JPG files to PNG is to create transparency support. ![]() PNGs, unfortunately, do not support CMYK color spaces, though, which makes them not as effective for printing. ![]() Transparency allows for specific pixels in the image to be empty, which can be useful when placing one image on top of another. PNGs also support transparency, which JPGs do not. Meanwhile, PNGs are lossless, which means they are not compressed. Generally, the higher the quality of the image, the bigger its filesize, so compressing an image can help make it take up less space on your hard drive. When you create a JPG, you can choose how lossy it gets. This means that image compression has removed some of its overall quality. With a JPG, you have a file with lossy quality. However, JPGs (or sometimes JPEGs) are different from PNGs. They contain visual information, usually photographs, drawings, screenshots, or other types of media. ![]() ![]() ![]() For now, you can check out these fun math lessons.

Do you know any other mental math tricks? Share them in the comments section.Do you dread going to math class? Do you have a hard time with numbers and any school subject that involves working with numbers? If you answered yes, you probably aren't a big fan of math. These are just 5 of the mental math tricks I can think of at the spur of the moment. Your answer will be this answer followed by 25. ![]() What you have to do is add 1 to the first digit of the number (being squared) and multiply the sum to the first digit of the original number (being squared). Once your kids learn how to square numbers, you could teach them this trick to square numbers ending with 5. Trick 5: Squaring a double-digit number ending with 5 Then, subtract this number from 10 to get the second digit of the answer. To quickly multiply a number by 9, you should subtract 1 from the number to get the first digit of the answer. Once my kids mastered the simple tricks such as those mentioned above, I taught them tricks like this one. The next digit will be the number you divided 6 with. You will have to divide the number by 2 to get the first digit of the answer. This trick is only helpful when multiplying even numbers by 6. All you have to do is add up the two numbers and place the sum in between the two numbers. ![]() Multiplying any double-digit number by 11 takes only a moment. Trick 2: Multiplying a double-digit number by 11 Once your kids get the hang of it, they’ll take only a moment to find the answer. This is one of the first and easiest tricks I’ve taught my kids. To multiply a number by 5, simply divide the number by 2 and multiply it by 10. Mental math can not only help kids do calculations mentally but also improve reasoning abilities and problem-solving skills. I had learnt quite a few mental math tricks as a kid, most of which I’ve shared with my kids. My sons, Eric and Aaron, too, can do quick calculations mentally.
