This kit includes a sofa, an armchair, two tables (end table, coffee table), 2 lamps (ground and wall light), two decorative objects, a fountain, two doors, three arches, two floor tiles and one wall tile. It draws inspiration from Moroccan architecture with colorful tiles and decorative archways. If you’re a CC creator and think that your CC fits the bill, please let me know, and I’ll happily feature your creation! Bust The Dust Kit I also do not control how creators label their items. In those cases I went for a similar look. Please note that in some cases I have not been able to find the exact styles that are in these kits. While that’s not a free option, these packs include much more than just a few objects, they usually add another new dimension to the game. In some cases, similar items to the kits can be already found in some Stuff Packs or Expansion packs and I will mention it by every kit. Some of the items are listed on Patreon but don’t worry, they are 100% free! For those of you on these platforms, I bring you free alternatives for Sims 4 Kits. Only PC and Mac users can put Sims 4 user-created custom content into their game. Unfortunately, there is no way to get custom content for game consoles. Thanks to the creative playerbase, Sims 4 boasts with millions of custom items, hairstyles, clothing, player mods and improved gameplay hacks. So rather than making a quick buck for fraction of the content, EA could have developed Stuff Packs with including these instead. They offer new game interactions as well. Stuff Packs contain much more content than Kits and cost only $9.99. Overall the Kits are quite disappointing. Not recolors of existing base game meshes as can be seen in some of the clothing Kits. ![]() The Kits could be really good if they contained more unique items. If you really want to grab them, I recommend waiting until they’re on sale. Some players pointed out that Game Packs and Stuff Packs already contain items that are quite similar (Sims 4 Parenthood has a country kitchen set + Cool Kitchen Stuff Pack has additional kitchen items). ![]() ![]() Are The Sims 4 Kits Worth It?Ĭurrently they are not worth it as they are for the full price. However, I don’t think the price reflects the amount of items in these Kits. Some players do like them and they’re good for console users who can’t get user-made custom content. Of course the player has a choice not to buy these Kits if they don’t want to. That’s $84,83, which make these more costly than an expansion pack with added gameplay functionality just for a few objects, clothes and build items.

This is actually one of the aspects in which I find this phone does well, getting a solid day’s use out of its 3,230mAh battery, but it’s still not exceptional. Yes, the Xperia XZ Premium has the best chip of the year so far in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835, and yes, it has a Sony’s various Stamina modes, but no, it doesn’t stand out with its battery life. The rectangular shape, the height extended by those big bezels, the slipperiness of the glass on both front and back: nothing about the XZ Premium’s design feels especially friendly to humans. Compare that to the Xperia XZ Premium, which was surely the object of much care and attention too, but was obviously designed to sit on a pedestal rather than in a person’s hands. The S8 wouldn’t come out of Samsung’s labs until it was a perfectly refined, ergonomic slab of technology. The story with the Samsung Galaxy S8’s design this year, apocryphal or not, is that Samsung Mobile chief DJ Koh would take prototypes of the phone and roll them around in his hand feeling for any hard edges or perturbations and have the design team smooth them out. The true premium cameras of today can be found in the Google Pixel and HTC U11, two pricey phones that I have no hesitation recommending on the strength of their imaging performance alone. What’s the point of 19-megapixel shots if they’re blurry? The slow-motion trick is cute, but its novelty quickly wears off. The camera’s focus is unreliable, and Sony’s penchant for hyper-processing images continues, with its noise reduction actively obliterating detail in shots. Sony has a whole new camera system this year, dubbed Motion Eye, which is supposed to do fancy stuff like predictive capture (buffering images while the camera app’s open and then reacting to your tap by selecting one of those buffered pics) and super slow-mo (960fps for less than a second), but both of them are gimmicks. Sony will tell you that the XZ Premium has a 5.5-inch 4K display with HDR support, but I’ll tell you that that doesn’t make a tangible difference to everyday use - all smartphone screens are lovely to look at these days, it’s the bezels that are the differentiator now. In this competitive environment, Sony’s vast bezels above and below the screen, which total up to nearly an inch, feel instantly retrograde. Before the year’s through, we’re going to have the Galaxy Note 8, LG V30, and very likely the Google Pixel XL 2 to add to that category. The LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S8, Essential Phone, and even a few upstart Chinese companies all now offer phones with a futuristic look that eliminates almost all the bezel. The hot new thing in 2017 is the ruthless excision of bezels from around the screen. ![]() Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.

![]() There were gay and straight people with attorneys that shopped next to drag queens. They fostered a community of people that didn't belong. There's the gay story and there are the fans. JN: Yes there are so many different factions. I couldn't put them in because of the documentaries storyline and arc. It is stories that I loved when we were making the movie. JN: If people bought the hard copy, the second disc is the outtakes, but it has never been streamed before. ![]() WCT: Talk about the new Accidents and Outtakes sequel to Industrial Accident. I do know that he stayed with my dad in his apartmentand that he ate him out of house and home! JN: When Divine came through, I was in Kansas at the time, but I remember hearing he was sweet and kind. WCT: Do you have any memories of the legendary Divine, who made records on Wax Trax? You had to be there! My dad was so funny and sarcastic. It was difficult to show that in this movie. WCT: I didn't know until the doc that Jim made up the band name 1000 Homo DJs by saying they would need that many people to play the record to make it a success. He said, "It didn't stop me from loving your mom. When I was 17, we were sitting on his deck and he told me that he knew he was gay when he was 12 years old. Up until then, I just thought they were best friends and lived together. I didn't know until I saw them kiss in the reflection of a mirror once when I was 13 years old. He was not flamboyant and people had no idea he was gay. He didn't care what people thought of him back then, and today he would say this is all about time! JN: I think he would say the same thing today as then. WCT: What do you think Jim would say about the LGBT community in current times? When I went into nursing school that is why I wanted to work in infectious disease and that community. WCT: how much has changed since your dad passed away from AIDS in 1995. I do remember them being The Supremes one year, which was great. Can you imagine? It was 1970 and your husband tells you he's in love with a man and you have two children. I owe a lot of my relationship with them to her. She never spoke a single bad word abut my dad or Dannie. It rocked her world when her husband came out, but she remained friends with them both forever. Coming from Kansas, she was a sweet Catholic girl and was 19 years old. One of the greatest gifts was my mom being so open to accepting their life together. None of this would have happened without the two of them being together and finding each other. They worked well together and that partnership was so perfect. He was inspirational to so many people.ĭannie was a laid-back parentso sweet, soft and kind. He was totally restless, like always moving and making things happen. JN: My dad had an insane amount of energy. WCT: How do you describe them to other people? I really wanted to show them who these two people were. After that, I had so many people coming up to me to tell me what that time meant to them. We were filming that to put out a live video of the three nights. JN: In 2011, the Retrospectacle at Metroafter Dannie passed awaywas the impetus for this happening. WCT: What inspired making Industrial Accident? The love for this label and for Jim and Dannie is so loyal. I have another job and we have a small staff made from old friends and family. JN: It is, and really due to Mark Skillicorn. WCT: This must still be such a labor of love for you. Julia Nash: Well, outside of Chicago in Oak Park, but the label has a space in Chicago above Dusty Groove, at 1120 N. Windy City Times: Do you still live in Chicago? Streamed live before an audience, Nash was joined by Chris Connelly of the Revolting Cocks and Groovie Mann from My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult for an unforgettable evening. Nash talked about the creation of the documentary and her work with Wax Trax! Records after a recent screening of Industrial Accident at House of Vans. It is packed with intimate interviews from artists who were inspired by this magical time, such as industrial metal band Ministry's Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker, Front 242's Richard 23, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl. Julia Nash, the daughter of co-founder Jim, directed the film to remember this rich music history and honor her father's legacy. Punks, drag queens and the disenfranchised all gravitated toward each other while sifting through records every day, side by side. Industrial music found a home in the Windy City at a time where being different was a radical concept. Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher were a couple who made a safe space for all in a retail record store and brought to life an influential music label called Wax Trax! Records. Industrial Accident: The Story of Wax Trax! Records is a documentary telling the story of two gay men who created a music empire in the '80s. This article shared 2251 times since Fri Dec 17, 2021 What are budgeting processes?īudgeting processes are a company's tactical steps to develop a financial plan. In this article, we define what budgeting processes are, explain what makes a good budgeting process, share how this process works and provide tips on improving your own processes. It's essential to understand what budgeting processes are and how to create them so that you can make critical financial decisions and ensure an organization runs smoothly. Creating a budget allows a company to determine its revenue, its sources of revenue, its expenses, its performance and whether it has money to continue to scale operations. Talk to us today to learn more about how we can grow your business together.Most companies rely on budgets to plan activities and investments and make efficient allocations. Let Metrobank be your trusted partner in finding opportunities and solutions for your business. ![]() It depends on the size of your company, current finances, timeline, and goals.Įach method has its own strengths and weaknesses, so find one that aligns best with what your business needs. There really isn’t a “best” budgeting method, as what works for one company may not necessarily work for another. Which is the best budgeting method for your business? Because of how time-consuming it is, it isn’t the best for big corporations, but it can help small businesses survive and make ends meet. This is the best method to use if you want to keep your expenses as low as possible. Then, every expense must be justified going up. This method is used to economize and minimize excess spending.Ĭompared to incremental budgeting where the budget is adjusted by a certain percentage across the board, zero-based budgeting assumes that everything starts off at zero. Similar to the value proposition budgeting method, the zero-based budgeting method involves going through each item line by line to justify budgets and purchasing. It is frequently combined with other budgeting methods, like the activity-based budgeting method. ![]() Value proposition budgeting is rarely used on its own. ![]() If an item proves to be more costly than valuable, it is removed from the list and the budget is reallocated. Value proposition budgetingĪs the term implies, value-based budgeting requires companies to review each and every budget line to determine the value it brings to the company, customer, staff, and stakeholders vis-à-vis its cost.īudgets need to be itemized and justified to prove that each item brings value for the business and is worth the cost. The activity-based method is also better suited for short term goals as opposed to long term goals. The activity-based budgeting method revolves around the results you want to achieve.įor instance, if your company wants to make PHP 50,000,000 in sales in 2021, you need to work backwards to determine the activities that will get you there and how much you need to fund these activities.Īctivity-based budgeting is best used when you have a clear, singular goal in mind. However, it does not take into account inflation or market trends. Incremental budgeting is easy to calculate and makes company-wide adjustments quick to do. It is where you adjust the existing budget you have in small increments according to the overall growth or decline of your company.įor instance, if your company experienced a 10% decline in sales in 2020, this would mean reducing your budget by 10% across the board as well. This is the kind of budgeting you may already do in your company. ![]() Incremental budgeting is the easiest and most used form of business budgeting. If you are having trouble sticking to your current budget, or your current budgeting method is not working for you anymore, here are four different budgeting strategies that you can try. Previous budget strategies may not be appropriate for the current times, so they needed to reevaluate the approaches and techniques in budgeting that they practice and see if these still work for them. The pandemic has made companies think differently about the way they drive their business, especially with how they handle budgeting.

In this sense, you need to space out characters manually. For example, the space between the letters “M” and “O” may seem perfectly fine but the space between “O” and “X” may not feel equally distributed as the M and O. When you start your project on a graphic design software, in some cases, there is a need to do kerning manually by either using the shift+ right or left arrow key on the keyboard for a default 10 pixel move or by just pressing the arrow keys without shift for moving one pixel at a time. Sometimes mathematical spacing works but many times you need to kern optically, that is visually. In a design software such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign, there are three types of kerning options available. Tracking is not on auto-mode, you have to use the character panel in software to change it. Some design programs use in-built kerning tables to apply automatic kerning to text. Makes the word appear visually pleasing with befitting denotation.Īffects the visual density of a word, phrase or paragraph. Used to balance the overall look of letters when combined. Used to fix awkward spacing between two letters. Let us see how well I can explain you the contrast.Ĭontrols the spacing between two letterforms.Īdjusts the space between all the letters in a word. For long, even I had problem understanding the clear-cut difference between these two processes. Just like the many misunderstood graphic design terms, kerning and tracking are often confused as well. For example, “Therapist” can easily become “The rapist” if the kerning is not attuned according to the context.īags Design Logos Kerning Versus Tracking This heavily influences the look and meaning of a word. The structure of each letter, the one that precedes and the one that follows it impacts the setting of kerning. The space between letters depends on the type of letters, and here they are: ![]() Some of the challenging letter pairs to kern “perfectly” include LA, WA, WE, Wo, Ya, Yo, Va, Te, Tr, oL and so on. The better way is to not let the design tool do it for you instead, do it yourself. Nevertheless, there are two ways to do kerning in a software either automatically adjusting the spaces with the given panels or manually increasing and decreasing the gap.
