Psst, hey, you! Want a Steven Universe hot take?

Words: Too damn many Summary: It’s a Steven Universe hot take about hurting connie, and how it ties into the show, the original Steven Universe, the lack of filler, and Steak Dinners. Warnings: Longe boi, a bit of a text wall but I do use paragraphs so it’s not awful I guess? A lot of talks about filler and stuff at the beginning.

ALSO I SHOULD POINT OUT this isn’t, like, some sort of SU critical circa 2017 post. I have qualms with the show, which are discussed, but overall, I think it’s pretty good stuff. Please be aware of that. I’m not gonna say it’s the worst thing on the planet because it’s not. 

UNDER THE CUT:

Before we get into the meat of the conversation, I need to tell you where I’m coming from. 

I have...strange feelings about Steven Universe.

It came out when I was starting High School, when I was bingeing cartoons like nobody’s business because peer pressure for years had made me repulse them. I didn’t care much about the deeper meanings of the show at the time, if I wanted to do deeper meanings I could go back and watch ATLA or those Rebecca Sugar episodes of Adventure Time, or OTGW. This was a bunch of magic space rocks fighting other magic space rocks! I was SO down!

Near the middle, though, and closer to the end, I guess I got a little...bored with it? I dunno what it was; well, I do now, but at the time I had no clue. it just seemed...a little over the top. I guess I had signed up for something like early Adventure Time, or the early parts of any given ATLA season. It became more of a drama than anything else, like a hundred Zuko and Iroh moments rolled into one, emotional punch after emotional punch.  

This isn’t the most sound assessment, no, and current me would be...a little annoyed at best if a show started doing this today. Sure, one could make the argument that I sound super hypocritical in retrospect, as I’m a huge fan of She-Ra and Infinity Train, but for every ‘Mermysteries’ in She-Ra there’s a ‘Roll With It’, and Infinity Train’s seasons are 5 nights long, perfect for punch after punch, but on Steven Universe? For every ‘Mirror Gem’, there was a...’Gem Harvest’. Which, sure, it was alright, but c’mon, calling an episode where we meet an entirely new character, even if only for a moment, filler, is a bit of a stretch. Filler is like ‘Always BMO Closing’ or something. And that hits the bone of the weird part here, does Steven Universe even have filler?

The whole 'no true filler’ idea is one of those things that sounds great on a show, but falls flat, because when people complain about filler, it’s complaining about bad filler, not the presence of it in general. If I get a steak and fries, and the fries are bad, I’m not complaining because they’re fries, I’m complaining because they’re bad fries. She-Ra is a good porterhouse with great fries. Infinity Train and OTGW are filet mignon with lobster tail, not really filler, but perfect in a way. Near the end, and really, for me, all the way through, Steven Universe felt more like a strip steak with no sides, just a little bit of A1. 

Isn’t this post about Connie, SUF, and how that all works? 

Yes, it is. We’re getting there. 

Steven Universe Future has been all emotional roller coasters the whole way through, seemingly. I’ll be honest, I’m not as into it as I was into Steven Universe, for a few reasons. Mostly, it expands on that no filler problem, big time. Nothing feels like it can be out of place, there’s even an episode titled the ‘Very Special Episode’, a slang term used in TV to talk about stuff like stranger danger specials, or the Golden Girls tackling the issue of gay marriage, etc. With the tense build of Steven’s mental health issues, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. Whether I like it or not, it’s doing what it needs to do, and I’ll acknowledge that it does exactly what it sets out to accomplish. 

So in Steven Universe, the main conflict is Steven and his past, and trying to convince people that no matter who someone is, they can be redeemed. It’s not a space war epic like I thought it would be (I used to be angry about that, but, just like the show said, people change, and now I have different qualms with it) but it does really well with that. So what is the conflict in SUF?

Steven has lost his raison d’etre. 

He’s going through that most existential of crises; “I’m at the top of the mountain, now what?” 

NOW WE FINALLY GET TO THE HOT TAKE!

The reason I brought up any of what I just did is to link it back to this heinous, outright stupid idea that Steven would just, like, I dunno, choke slam Connie or whatever you sick monsters wanna see. 

All of this No Filler, Everything is important stuff told us a lot about the characters. After all, it’s hard not to have character development in a show environment like that. Steven was shown as someone who genuinely cared, a lot, about everyone around him. He almost over-empathizes, to the point where he’s able to see the good in a bunch of arguably fascist space rocks voiced by former broadway divas. As much as I dislike the show for only ever being weighty and never having any ‘true filler’ or whatever, the reason it did that makes stylistic sense; Steven has no filler in his life. He’s way too empathetic. He cried when he found out that Snakes don’t have arms, for christ’s sake!

As annoying as it felt watching it, it’s an unfortunate reality that some people are forced to live their lives that way, empathizing with anyone and everyone they meet, and it hurts, and when you fix all the problems people had, but they suddenly leave? 

That fucking hurts. And that’s how I think we ended up here. 

That’s also why I think he’s not gonna hit Connie. At least, not purposefully. 

Steven has pretty openly expressed feelings for Connie before, and while we haven’t seen a romance line yet, it’s pretty obvious it’s slated to at some point. 

Now, if Steven can empathize with Space Stalin™, he can empathize with a girl he’s had a crush on for years at this point for going away to seek higher education. Sure, these pink outbursts are getting to him, as recent leaks may have shown, but I doubt that hurting Connie would crop up. It goes against a lot of the show’s themes of community and healing. But most of all? 

It’s just crappy writing. 

The show has had its fair share of clunkers in my opinion, as every show longer than 2 seasons is bound to have. Remember that episode where Nanefua runs for mayor? Or how about the one with Lars and the Off Color gems where they’re there for a grand total, of, like...the opening? 

None of those were terrible episodes though, just...forgettable. It’s not as if Steven just pulls out a chain gun and starts blasting in one of them. That would be stupid, and garbage, and a copout to generate ratings. Punching Connie would be like killing Brian on Family Guy; no weight, just shock. Flash in the pan. A bomb going off with no warning, no suspense. A jump scare. 

And that’s why I talked about the whole No Filler thing, and how it annoys me to no end, but how it’s necessary and worth while!

No one would ever have spent this whole time building up Steven as an over empathizer with an Atlas personality just to have him punch someone whose been his love interest since 2013. 

We would never spend an entire show cycle building someone up as caring too much about the people around him for his fatal flaw to be punching his girlfriend. The no filler thing was a noble, brave idea, that in my opinion fell over. But damn, did it do great things for the characters on the show, even if it sacrificed pacing. 

It should come as no surprise by now that the no filler thing, to me, is a bit of a stretch. Of course there was filler; sure, lore gets expanded, but when it’s not expanded well it just feels like the writers aren’t quite sure what to do (hmm, maybe they’d be better at filler if they’d written some beforehand...). 

But it portrayed the lead amazingly well, giving us a world through his eyes, and set up an amazing story about someone who cared too much about a world that was starting to care less and less about him. Setting us up for an amazing show, whether I want to watch it that often, or not. 

Let’s face it, it may not be my favorite meal, but sometimes you just can’t beat a strip steak with a little bit of A1.

I have no legitimate sleep schedule, so take my list of my Top 20 favorite Gorillaz tracks

20: Momentz - In the same league as Feel Good Inc., don't at me.

19: Stylo - Mos Def and Bobby Womack absolutely devastating on the bridges. Hearing Jeremih perform this live was gorgeous.

18: Humility - Gorillaz made a summer jam, and it sure sounds like it. Damon's getting old, man. Just wants to retire, wants to have a few beers by the beach. 

17: Sleeping Powder - iwasgone I M B A C K ASDKJHAJSDHGSKDJHFGKJHASGLDKJAGSD

16: Feel Good Inc. - A legendary song in my formative years, and a soundtrack to the Bush administration as important as “American Idiot”. Only so low on the list because of oversaturation.

15: Rhinestone Eyes - This song is the embellished production of Plastic Beach in a moment. I once made a mashup with this song and "Kangaroo Court" by Capital Cities.

14: Re-Hash - First song on the first album, and it slaps.

13: Ascension - Vince Staples is such a brilliant voice in the latter half of the decade, and I'm pleased to see Damon Albarn recognize this.

12: DARE - Hot damn, this song is a jam.

11: M1 A1 - Hearing this song kick off a Gorillaz concert feels like getting shot by a cannon. It's the "most like the sound the pilliows exuded on the FLCL soundtrack" song in the Gorillaz discography, and for that, I like it.

10: Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head - When Gorillaz want to tell a horror story, they double down and get Dennis Hopper to tell a story of apocalypse. Demon Days is such an immortal album, and this song will live on as a ubiquitous reminder of one's mortality at the hands of greed. Good one for the pessimistic crowds of both 2005 and 2019.

9: Rock the House - BETTER THAN CLINT EASTWOOD. FIGHT ME. When Gorillaz sample audio, they make sure to make the most of it. The ten second sample of John Dankworth's "Modesty Blaise" carries Del the Funky Homosapien's bragging boogie rap through to another level with the tight bass riffs the self-titled album is known for. Echo effects, horn stabs, a fucking recorder. This tracks fucks me up.

8: Souk Eye - I think a track off of The Now Now is one of the best works in the Gorillaz discography. Primarily because following Humanz and The Now Now, Albarn and Hewlett are in a strange time of their lives. Both are now 50 years old, and Gorillaz has lasted 20 years. The concept has run its course for now. To hear this song close this chapter of the Gorillaz story feels fitting. A love song to the many miles taken, only to realize one must leave their current circumstances in order to survive.

7: Last Living Souls - It's a cliche to say a song builds, but when the track starts with little more than a drum machine, and leads to an acoustic breakdown and string section breakdown back-to-back, you can agree this song builds. A lush atmosphere of tiny bleeps and bloops coming together to become greater than the sum of all parts. The song sounds so down and muted on the album, but hearing it live, it feels like a war cry. Both interpretations fit the themes of Demon Days, and it's a good one to start off the album following the Dawn of the Dead sampled "Intro".

6: El Mañana - Hearing this song follow "Busted and Blue" accompanied by visuals of Noodle during the Humanz Tour is the closest I've come to a religious experience at a concert. The sudden immediacy of the situation following "Feel Good Inc" is made aware from sirens and Damon delivering a ragged vocal delivery. The track ebbs and flows in and out of deep bass and washed out highs. It feels like a sigh. It feels like crying. And if you're a Gorillaz lore sucker like I am, this track accompanies the death of Noodle, the single most important event in the canon. Also, the acoustic version reminds one how good Damon is at evoking very quiet emotion.

5: Tomorrow Comes Today - When those drums come in, man, you get teleported to the turn of the millennium. Dirty trip-hop was coming out of the UK en masse, Fatboy Slim released one of my favorites albums of all time "Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars", and Daft Punk's "Discovery" was still a year off. In between some of the most important music of my life being dropped, Gorillaz dropped their first single "Tomorrow Comes Today" at the end of the year and solidified their place for years to come. Slinking and sly, velvety and smoky. This is Gorillaz sending up a culture of basement shows and turntablism. If Think Tank is the first "Gorillaz album", this is when the transition was made manifest.

4: On Melancholy Hill - Ugh, this song. This song is pretty. Full stop. It's one of Gorillaz' very few love songs, and it still manages to capture the plasticine sadness of Plastic Beach. Plastic Beach was my first real and honest introduction to Gorillaz in college, as I only remember hearing about Demon Days from advertising in 2005, when I was 12. This track was just a treat to hear in spring/summer, and a reason I made so many (see: too many) of my finals about Gorillaz. Around the time Humanz was teased, I went back and realized this song had held up so well. It's just a universal sentiment about how the world we know is falling apart, but let's have this moment together. The acoustic version is an honest to God lullaby. Something I can play my future children. Not bad for only 16 lines of lyric.

3: Empire Ants - If "On Melancholy Hill" is about finding the beauty in ruin, "Empire Ants" holds a magnifying glass up to ruin, wondering how it came to be. Listening to the album, "Superfast Jellyfish" came just before. A satirical take on consumeristic meals leading into a song about how we are personified as ants, marching in tandem to complete our tasks and build ever outward, never truly satisfied until death. It is a reminder to look upon the greater picture that is our world and see the moments of tranquility for what they are. Sadly, these moments do not last, and Little Dragon's part reminds us we are part of a machine, ever moving, ever crumbling. It is beauty interrupted by obligation, and for a kid who was in college when this album dropped, and who is now 26 and facing a lifetime of having to make my own decisions, it's an anthem.

2: Hong Kong - I remember loading the entirety of Plastic Beach onto my iPod Nano, and having an iTunes gift card left to spend from Christmas/birthday/etc. Having seen the Demon Days Live concert, I knew this track had to be on my beautiful iPod Nano. That, and for some reason, "Dirty Harry (Schtung Chinese New Year Remix). I remember long car rides staring out the window, listening to this track as the scenery blew by. I remember reading up on this track's history, how it was released in-between Demon Days and Plastic Beach and it shows, how it's a tale of neo-industrial China and Hong Kong's place in both Chinese and British history. This is both a love letter and warning to the nation of the apocryphal train ride that inspired Demon Days. In a world where China seems to be ever rising, "Hong Kong" is a song that asks questions of how this will affect the world as a whole, using Hong Kong as a metaphor. That's nothing to say of the wondrous instrumentation, the piano part in particular on my wishlist of "Songs I Should Learn on Piano Before I Die". Many call it Gorillaz' most underrated track, and I agree full stop.

1: DoYaThing - I'M THE SHIT. I SAID I'M THE SHIT. Above all else, Gorillaz is a collaborative effort of hundreds of musicians from all walks of life. When you throw James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, a band that rose in the same timeframe as Gorillaz, and Andre 3000, my personal pick for the G.O.A.T., magic happens. Uncut, unedited, 13 minute magic happens. Is it a bit of a meme? Sure. It is a shitpost disguised as a legitimate song? Why not. But sometimes, the goofy aspect of Gorillaz can craft audio gold. And aren't we all about memes on this blog? Albarn's at his most snotty white boy. Murphy's production and vocals are a reminder he was every music nerd's wet dream in the 2000s. Andre 3000 is just laying into every line with a confidence not heard since Stankonia. Everything about this song is designed and manufactured to sound like it it running off the rails in a fit of confidence. It is both wildly powerful and mournfully unaware. In short, to quote the great music critic Todd in the Shadows on the subject of LCD Soundsystem’s song “Losing My Edge”, "(It is) a critical darling... This was tailor made for critics. It is perfect music nerd bait, total pandering." DoYaThing, my favorite Gorillaz song of all time.

Importance of Keeping Your Restaurant Clean As you consider whether or not an outside service is right for you, keep in mind why it’s so important to keep your restaurant clean:

• Prevent the spread of infectious disease: Maintaining a regular cleaning and sanitizing schedule can help keep infectious diseases like coronavirus, norovirus, and influenza from spreading to your staff and customers. • First impressions: If the front-of-house areas in your restaurant appear to be dirty, customers are likely to assume the rest of your restaurant is dirty or unsanitary as well. A bad first impression of an unclean area can make customers leave your restaurant without even trying your food. • Health inspections: Unsanitary preparation and service areas can quickly lead to hazardous bacteria growth, which is something no health inspector wants to see. Keeping your restaurant cleaned and sanitized can prevent your business from losing points on your next health inspection. • Respect from employees: If you don’t offer your employees a clean, comfortable working environment, it can quickly breed complacency, hostility, and a lack of respect for you and your business. • Cross-contamination: If your hoods aren’t degreased or surfaces swept for food particles, contaminants can easily get into the food you’re preparing and serving to customers.

Appliances and equipment

Hobs and ovens: Any spillages should be wiped up after each shift to prevent a build-up of grease and grime, and the interior of the oven should be cleaned using a specialist oven cleaning product once a week. Commercial catering ovens should be deep cleaned by a professional service at least once every six months, too.

Coffee machines: Espresso machines should be cleaned and flushed with hot water and a specialist cleaning fluid once a week.

Kettles: Kettles and water boilers should be cleaned and descaled once a month, or once a week if you serve a lot of hot drinks every day.

Microwaves: The interior of your microwave should be cleaned at least once a week, and any spills should be cleaned as soon as they occur during shifts. Microwaving a bowl of water for one minute can help to loosen any dried-on dirt or grime before wiping down the interior with a cloth and some antibacterial cleaner.

Refrigeration: The interiors of your fridges should be wiped and sanitized between every shift, and given a deep clean once a week. Fridge hygiene can have a big impact on the quality and safety of your food, so there’s quite a lot to remember — take a look at our complete guide to fridge hygiene and safe storage to learn everything you need to know.

Hoods, vents, and exhausts: A clogged ventilation system or cooker hood can have a knock-on effect the rest of your kitchen, as it won’t filter out vapor and condensation as effectively, which leads to unhygienic build-ups of grease and grime on other surfaces. So, it’s recommended that restaurants that do not use a deep fat fryer every day clean their vents and hoods a minimum of once every 90 days. For fast food restaurants or those that frequently use a deep fat fryer, deep cleaning should take place once every 30 days.

Drains: They’re often out of sight and out of mind but, if they aren’t cleaned regularly, they can quickly become blocked, which could put your sinks and plumbing out of action. So, you should be sure to clean your kitchen’s drains once every couple of weeks with a professional grade drain cleaner, and then flushing them out with hot water. This will remove any blockages and ensure a hygienic sink area.

Dishwashers, and cutlery and glassware cleaners: It may seem counter-intuitive to wash a cleaning appliance, but weekly cleaning will ensure that your dishwasher is getting the best results. Wipe the inside down with an antibacterial cleaner, and then run the appliance on a sanitizing self-clean cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can You Work Around My Schedule? Absolutely!

Yes, we can work to your operational time frame as much as possible. There will be exceptions, yet we will always work with you for a solution and we will always leave your kitchen clean, ready to use before we leave.

2. Does Someone Have To Visit My Business Before I Can Schedule Your Services? Absolutely not!  We wouldn’t want to interrupt your normal business operation.  We have been cleaning Commercial Kitchens for years, so the only thing we need is a quick tour of the facility to get the layout of the area, establish cleaning requirements, expectations and safety requirements.

3. WHAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED? Three areas of specific concern are:

Exhaust Hood – An exhaust hood removes fumes, mists, vapors, grease, particles and hazardous substances from kitchens and bathrooms. Exhaust hoods must be vented outdoors and regularly cleaned. Duct Fan – Inline fans increase circulation to a specific location and are often used in commercial settings such as restaurants. An inline fan can provide additional fresh air to keep kitchen temperatures down. The Plenum – This is a specific area between the ceiling and the roof or floor above the where the vent of a restaurant hood is located. The plenum space should also be cleaned along with the duct and hood.

4. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CLEAN THE KITCHEN EXHAUST HOOD DUCT? The preparation foods that involving the use of ovens and stoves releases steam or grease into the air. Restaurants required to have a hood or duct installed above their cooking range.

These vent hoods require regular cleaning to remove collected dirt and grease for reasons of both health and safety. Vent hood cleaning should completed by experienced professionals.

5. What are indicators that my system may be due for a thorough cleaning?

Most standards require that a commercial kitchen have their hood, ducts and exhaust fan systems cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.  However, each commercial kitchen is different in size, configuration, cooking volume and cooking frequency.  If you’re wondering whether your kitchen needs a cleaning or not, we’ve got some tips to help you make an informed decision. • Visible grease residue that cannot be scrubbed off during the daily cleaning process • A noticeably strong grease odor is coming from the hood or ductwork • There is a rattling of the exhaust fan like it is unbalanced • You can’t remember the last time it was professionally cleaned • If you are up there and see that the roof has grease stains • You just know it’s time

Commercial Restaurant Cleaning Service Cost • The average restaurant cleaning service costs $90 per hour but rates span from $20 to $150 per hour.

• Light cleaning, which usually includes dusting and bathrooms averages $20-$40 per hour. • Heavier cleaning or cleaning large commercial kitchens ranges from $50-$150 per hour. Restaurant Hood Cleaning Cost Hiring professional cleaners to take care of the hood above an oven costs $140 to $180 per hour. Exhaust hood specialists might charge a flat-rate fee which averages $400 to $430. However add-ons such as cleaning filters or access panels will increase the cost. Expect to pay more if your hood is really dirty. When you hire a professional cleaning service, you determine the frequency of the cleaning. You can choose from daily, weekly or even monthly visits. You can be sure the professional and experienced staff at A1 CLEANING OF OMAHA will do all of the cleanings to the highest standards and can be a supplement to the routine cleaning chores handled by your staff.

How Much Does Restaurant Cleaning Cost? Many restaurant owners opt not to hire employees to clean the kitchen space every night and instead hire an outside company to handle the task. In general, the cost of a restaurant cleaning service can vary, based on the size of the space and the complexity of the job. These jobs are billed either by the square foot or by the hour. You can expect to pay between .12 and .40 cents per square foot or $20 to $75 per hour to have your restaurant professionally cleaned. What are Restaurant Cleaning Services? Restaurant cleaning services provide a very important task – they keep restaurants, both the dining room and kitchen areas – clean and sanitary. Since restaurants handle many different types of food, the possibility of cross-contamination can increase when spaces aren’t cleaned properly. In addition, germs like E.coli and salmonella can grow in the kitchens. So, it’s important to keep these spaces as clean as possible. Why Choose Restaurant Cleaning Services? Restaurant owners know that every square inch of their business needs to be kept very clean, so they hire cleaning services to complete the task. These experts know how to clean restaurants and their related spaces effectively. Spaces frequented by customers need to be dust and grime free, while kitchens and other food preparation areas must be thoroughly disinfected.

Determining The Best Restaurant Cleaning Service for Your Needs There are many different aspects of restaurant cleaning services. Depending on what areas of your restaurant need to be cleaned, the rate may vary. In order to make it easy to determine the price of a cleaning service, we’ve broken it down into categories. Some, or all of these, may apply to your restaurant.

Floor Cleaning There are many different types of flooring in restaurants. Dining areas may be carpeted, while kitchen spaces have tile and floor mats.

Depending on the size of the floors and the exact types that need to be cleaned, you can expect to pay between .12 to .20 cents per square foot or $20 to $25 per hour.

Kitchen Cleaning Kitchens are the most complicated jobs. All of the equipment must be wiped down, along with food preparation surfaces and the pass where the plated food is placed after it’s cooked. Kitchen cleaning is the most expensive, due to the disinfecting work involved. General prices vary from .30 to .40 centers per square foot or $50 to $75 per hour.

Bathroom Cleaning Bathrooms are small, but restaurants often have several of them. There might an employee-only bathroom at the back of the restaurant, as well as separate men’s and ladies’ rooms for customers. Due to their size, bathrooms tend to cost a bit less overall, but rates still vary between .12 to .20 cents per square foot or $20 to $25 per hour.

Walk-In Refrigerator Cleaning The walk-in refrigerator, known in restaurant parlance as “walk-in” is where uncooked food, as well as leftovers, are stored. Most restaurants have their kitchen staff handle cleaning the floor and other spaces in the walk-in, although if an outside service is used, it will cost .30 to .40 centers per square foot or $50 to $75 per hour.

Cleaning Outdoor Spaces In most cases, the outdoor spaces, like those nearest the dumpsters – exterior exits used by employees and similar spaces – are very small and inexpensive to clean.

You can expect to pay a restaurant cleaning service .12 to .20 cents per square foot or $20 to $25 per hour for these areas.

Cleaning Waiting Areas and Entrances Both the waiting areas and entrances to a restaurant must be cleaned, as they are the first things customers see upon entering your establishment. These spaces see a lot of foot traffic and have floors and walls that must be cleaned. The cost for street entrances and other spaces is .12 to .20 cents per square foot or $20 to $25 per hour.

Canon MX492 Scanner Driver Download Normal Option for Contemporary Landscaping Artist

The Wedding photographer

David Anthony Hallway ideas his shots weeks, at times even years upfront. In order to capture the perfect shot, he visits locations numerous times to get just the right natural lighting conditions. To the self-professed nature devotee, using panoramic photos of arrestingly gorgeous scenery is hardly an difficult project. "Whenever you enjoy what you do, you'll never need to function each day in your lifetime." claims David. His images are large not only in dimensions but in the amount of content they are and express filled up with a enthusiasm he conveys so vividly together with this sort of wonderful depth.

Delivered in Dublin in 1969, he initially uncovered his passion for photography at school when he packaged a few of his father's aged disadvantages for the class undertaking. He qualified as being a image artist then researched photography at Dun Laoghaire University of Design and Art (now the Institution of Art). His first role was being a continue to lifestyle digital photographer after visiting United kingdom in 1990. He then create his very own industrial business in Western side London, uk in 1994. A few years in the future, soon after managing a profitable photographic firm, Photohall Ltd, he made a decision to focus on his own operate and passion like a landscape designer.

The Artwork

While using method of photography and big file format print out to capture his expansive character shots is undoubtedly a really particular route to adhere to. Yet mixed they merge properly; fusing impressive photography, printing and design methods smoothly to provide breathing using panoramic expression. David's images are hardly ever limited from a viewfinder. He shoots a series of pictures that he later draws collectively to capture the vista he desires to show. The absolute size of his job gives by itself to huge formatting printing at its very best. David's sells a graphic every year for charitable trust, a d 2.7m broad and 1.5m substantial called 'Autumn Light', was sold for charitable trust in 2009, rearing a wonderful £7500. The image was imprinted in the 12 colour Canon MX492. The earnings in which split among, Malignancy Analysis, McMillan Cancers Assistance and Bart's Medical facility East Wing, and committed to the memory of David's all-natural dad Antonio Senezio, who died of cancers in 2007. They have considering that generously donated numerous a lot more images to numerous charitable groups, which include PhotoVoice and Marie Curie Cancer Care. In The Year 2011 he presented a fantastic impression eligible 'Bluebell Woodland' which offered for £10,000 for your Children's Acute Carry Services Pet cats.

David creates around 12 done parts each year, frequently going to spots many times to draw out the proper picture. He will sometimes waitdays and weeks, or even months for the right lighting conditions. He usually takes into consideration the numerous trajectories from the direct sun light as the the planet orbits throughout the season, as well as lunar tidal rhythm to acquire the very best photo.

Using his Canon EOS-1Ds Label IIl, David shoots the images using lens which range from his preferred 50mm to your 100mm and even a 300mm. By using a range of spectacular methods he can capture a series of graphics that he later on weaves together in their electronic darkroom.

David makes use of an even more conventional procedure for his picture taking, since he could have as soon as with a motion picture digicam. Even though he considers a digital technologies have allowed professional photographers to speed up the method, also, he feels it produces a tendency to hurry the results. Appearance accomplishment is normally made the decision by what is uncovered inside the monitor and not just exactly what the digicam is capable of doing. For David the set up in the photo is as much an important component of the procedure, as being the digicam by itself. Reducing everything straight down, getting his time and creating 'breathing space' enables him to capture greater results. "You shouldn't speed taking photos: the key is taking, stopping and slowing your time. There's low self-esteem from the photographic sector making photographers believe that they need big digital cameras to become a far better professional photographer. But if you're not in the right spot at the right time it won't work, whichever digital camera you have! "

The Stamping

Till just recently David's partnership with Canon possessed never extensive over and above his usage of their video cameras. Following viewing the grade of his charitable trust item 'Autumn Light' created by the Canon representative Velmex Submission, David was very very happy to take shipping of his new printer a, 44" 12 colour Impression PROGRAF iPF8100, sizeable file format printer, immediately after the event. "What smacked me initially was only how calm the Canon was. My prior A1 gadget wasn't a Canon product or service; it had been extremely slow-moving and surprisingly loud".

Before using the Canon MX492, On account of the flexible the outdoors in the iPF8100 he or she is now able to produce a complete size cut of his printing (emulating a dark room fashion crop) so that you can match it at any point. "This alone is preserving me three times as much multimedia." He said. The reason why you could do is caused by an original Adobe plug-in that comes with the printer. "The Adobe plug-in is fantastic! It's very simple to quick, convenient and use. It gives me complete power over the colour production I create. It saves me a lot of press and i also don't ought to mess around with customized sizing, plus I could produce from Photoshop with no reason to resave records first."

The outcome is a reduce quality result, whilst the printer can create a higher quality impression. The Canon Photoshop connect-in can instantly change a 16 tad impression in Photoshop, to some 12 little interpolated picture for the printer, recording the maximum high quality accessible. The eye struggles to distinguish the visible difference between 12 little and 16 little, nevertheless in between an 8 little bit and 12 little bit result the visible difference, even going to the inexperienced eyes, is visible. "16 little offers superb gradation on my a few meter graphics, it will make a huge difference to my kind of operate. Now, from picture record to productivity I have the ability to printing at the highest quality. The visible difference is obvious if you ask me, specially in the sharpness of depth I recieve in blue skies or the details of greens, in which usually the 8 little variation can appear flat." The inspiration powering David's picture taking is to record the outdoors in their purest type.

The pictures are all picture in RAW formatting creating image styles any where from 150 super pixels to 200 mega pixels, creating a level of sharpness and depth vital when printing at this particular scale. Upwards of 4GB, having an 80GB hard-drive is invaluable, "Because the size of my files are so large. Before the file has completely downloaded, the files download straight to the printer freeing up my desktop and the printer will start to print even. The dual print out-heads offer you me fast publishing. Paper-heads are semi long lasting characteristics that don't will need swapping with each ink cartridge transform plus I will swap the print heads me personally. This gives me a cost preserving I'd not anticipated, and with no lower time. The printer ink cartridges can be bought in 300ml and 700ml tanks and can be hot swapped although the device is working, rendering it unbelievably versatile when printing my 3 metre images. The printer even offers a reserve tank which retailers printer to guarantee the produce is completed with out preventing. This prevents any likelihood of having a dried out line by way of the middle of a produce. Some thing you don't require when publishing about three meter images! "

These huge structure printers may be managed by simply the 'Canon MX492 Scanner Driver Download' something that David finds very helpful when working his printing careers. "In the past I would personally estimate my ink cartridge costs by work as I didn't have a similar degree of detail I have now with 'Job Manager'. I can entry it through any internet browser empowering me to discover the ink usage on every print. I can also check ink levels, which document I've loaded inside the printer as well as the length and width from the roll. I am just now in full control of my generating charges, something that I surely didn't have just before".

Archival work

This process David utilizes to complete his printing is 'Face Installation to Perspex'. This is a process where the done print out is sandwiched among some Dibond and Perspex or perhaps an Aluminium backing page. The latest analysis by Wilhem-Analysis.com implies that a colour print from your Canon 12 colour Appearance PROGRAF iPF6100*, on gloss media within Perspex substrate could give you a light-weight fastness of 176 several years. "This really is 101 yrs more than my prior printer could claim providing my buyers an increased archival worth."

Sharjah, UAE: When a grade 10 student thinks of the CBSE AISSE (All India Secondary School Examination), a fight-or-flight response innately kicks in with tell tale signs of fear, inability to remember information, amplified or declined appetite, sleeping difficulties, and headaches. On the contrary, the atmosphere at Delta English School was in diametric opposition as its grade 10 students beat all odds and channeled their winning streaks to achieve truly impressive sets of results on the recently concluded 2017 CBSE Secondary School Examination. Delta English School has been building on its reputation for academic excellence over the past 25 years even though it has only been four years since its CBSE affiliation. Since 2014, the school recorded more A1, A2, and B1 grades than ever before and continuing in that same vein, this year, 45% of grades were A1 (10 CGPA) or A2 (9 CGPA) and 81% of grades were at B1 (8 CGPA) or above. Among all Delta English School grade 10 students:

Subject Score of B1 or Higher Score of A1 or A2 Second Languages 93% of students 63% of students Social Science 89% of students 70% of students English Language Arts 85% of students 60% of students Science; Mathematics 80% of students 60% of students Foundation of Information Technology 80% of students 50% of students 44% of students scored 100% in at least one subject (33% scored 100% in two subjects) 67% of students achieved at least three A1 or A2 grades (across six tested subjects)

Out of a 10-point cumulative GPA (CGPA) scale, 15% of all students attained a perfect 10 CGPA, 45% of all students attained a CGPA of 9 or higher, 81% of all students attained a CGPA of 8 or higher and 89% of all students attained a CGPA of 7 or higher. Delta English School students first undertook their CBSE Secondary School Examination in 2014. Since then, the percentage of Delta English School students scoring ≥ 9 CGPA has increased by 10% and those scoring ≥ 8 CGPA has increased by 31%. Delta English School grade 10 average CGPA for 2017 is 8.7 - higher than the 8.2 CGPA secured in its first Secondary School Exam. However, the school’s pass rate has remained at a remarkable 100% since 2014. Across all students, 88% of grades were better than predicted on entry into Secondary School (based on grade eight exit exams) and grade nine final exam outcomes, which confirm the efficacy of first class teaching and learning support levels engineered at Delta English School. “The grade 10 results are testament to the quality of our educational programs and have been achieved alongside a rich and busy extra-curricular program,” remarked Anita D’cruz, Principal and Executive Director of Delta English School. She further commented, “The academic success of these Titans should come as no surprise considering that Delta English School offers a challenging and rewarding educational experience that hybridizes scholastic and co-scholastic domains inside and outside the classroom. In fact, my expectation was that 30% of our students should have secured a 10 CGPA considering their competency levels. Upon analyzing the results, we observed that some candidates missed the perfect score target by a few decimal points in their CGPA. However, I am confident that we can meet our expectations with the upcoming student batches. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the department heads, faculty and parent community who were the impetus behind our Titans’ success. Over the years, we have watched them evolve, excel and transform into confident global citizens ready to take on any challenges presented by 21st century dynamics. They are an ambitious, energetic and engaging group of individuals and will unequivocally experience greater rewards in life.” Despite the recent success, certain stakeholders at Delta English School perceive that the school has not yet reached its highest performance potential and one such individual is Anuja Anand, Academic Supervisor and Head of Natural Sciences at Delta English School. According to Anand, “I do share in the celebration of our students’ success but I am perturbed by our lower-than-projected outcomes in Science. With the National Agenda demanding that our country must feature in the top 20 countries in PISA and among the top 15 in TIMSS, Delta English School’s focus and excellence in STEM must now be stronger and bolder than ever.” Anand continued by saying, “My 14 years as a teacher and administrator at Delta English School has revealed that students generally adopt a binary approach to Science – they either love or hate it, with some going solo on Physics, Chemistry or Biology. Last year, we rolled out a brand new curriculum framework that incorporates differentiated instruction, student-led learning, 21st century CCR (College and Career Readiness) skills, extensive interdisciplinary connections and multi-variant ICT integrations. The grade 10 students, whose overall success we have just witnessed, were members of this pilot program. With scientific process skills going to form the basis for every science topic in our new framework, future Delta English School students are guaranteed to develop excitement and deeper appreciation for all Science streams, close their Science learning gaps, increase their Science outcome-to-goal ratios and will eventually become passionate to pursue stable careers in Science.” Like Anand, Delta English School’s Department of Mathematics shares a similar perspective of the school’s academic success. A statement released by the Department, in response to the recent CBSE grade 10 Math outcomes, reads as follows: It is universally accepted that Mathematics, of all courses, renders the highest fright factor to the nth possibility. It is our responsibility, as Delta English School subject-matter experts and teachers, to make Math approachable and relatable across grade levels. We commend grade level 10 students on their recent victory but strongly feel that there is ample room for raising the performance bar. In recent department meetings, we have started to aggressively bridge Math with alien courses like English, Social Science and even Art Education. We have already slated multiple inter-department workshops in the coming months during which we will raise topics from various Math courses and have non-Math instructors chalk out ways to creatively embed Math concepts within their lesson plans. This will offer opportunities for students to gain real-life perspectives of Math in action. One of our department pipeline initiatives is to roll out a comprehensive e-learning solution that will gamify the Math experience and create differentiated learning pathways for each student. Our Math faculty has already made student-led learning the focus of each lesson and will increase the usage of our existing state-of-the-art Math labs to complement each lesson’s small group activities. These enhancements are part of a grassroots campaign that carries a 1-2 year gestation period, but will ultimately have all Delta English School Math courses synced with disciplines that students imagined could never relate to Math. Quality of assessments at Delta English School has been a major talking point in recent months. Unlike majority of independent schools, Delta English School possesses a proprietary assessment engine that was born nine years ago. The platform delivers multiple testing modes throughout the year that are challenging and diverse in composition, encompassing vignette-based multiple choice and constructed-response items. Thelma Thomas, Head of English Language Arts at Delta English School, with over 30 years of teaching experience, believes that this assessment engine is due for major upgrades. “Over the past five years, we have witnessed double-digit increases in student scores owing to the high number of testing modes that we administer each month. While we can observe this tangible student improvement, we must not take for granted the quality of our test items. It is paramount to discern low versus high stake exams and approach each test item with a HOTS-based mentality. As CBSE continues to embrace HOTS-based test content over rote memorization, our assessments must dynamically reflect this trend,” said Thomas. The executive administration at Delta English School has already began investigating and enhancing its assessment platform using a product roadmap that was developed over six months. When ready for live deployment, the new assessment engine will feature cross-curricular linkages, revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, technology-enhanced items, granular item analyses and outcome forecasting. via Edarabia.com

While we can observe this tangible student improvement, we must not take for granted the quality of our test items. It is paramount to discern low versus high stake exams and approach each test item with a HOTS-based mentality. As CBSE continues to embrace HOTS-based test content over rote memorization, our assessments must dynamically reflect this trend,” said Thomas. The executive administration at Delta English School has already began investigating and enhancing its assessment platform using a product roadmap that was developed over six months. When ready for live deployment, the new assessment engine will feature cross-curricular linkages, revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, Webb’s Depth of Knowledge, technology-enhanced items, granular item analyses and outcome forecasting.

Sharjah, UAE: When a grade 10 student thinks of the CBSE AISSE (All India Secondary School Examination), a fight-or-flight response innately kicks in with tell tale signs of fear, inability to remember information, amplified or declined appetite, sleeping difficulties, and headaches. On the contrary, the atmosphere at Delta English School was in diametric opposition as its grade 10 students beat all odds and channeled their winning streaks to achieve truly impressive sets of results on the recently concluded 2017 CBSE Secondary School Examination. Delta English School has been building on its reputation for academic excellence over the past 25 years even though it has only been four years since its CBSE affiliation. Since 2014, the school recorded more A1, A2, and B1 grades than ever before and continuing in that same vein, this year, 45% of grades were A1 (10 CGPA) or A2 (9 CGPA) and 81% of grades were at B1 (8 CGPA) or above. Among all Delta English School grade 10 students:

Subject Score of B1 or Higher Score of A1 or A2 Second Languages 93% of students 63% of students Social Science 89% of students 70% of students English Language Arts 85% of students 60% of students Science; Mathematics 80% of students 60% of students Foundation of Information Technology 80% of students 50% of students 44% of students scored 100% in at least one subject (33% scored 100% in two subjects) 67% of students achieved at least three A1 or A2 grades (across six tested subjects)

Out of a 10-point cumulative GPA (CGPA) scale, 15% of all students attained a perfect 10 CGPA, 45% of all students attained a CGPA of 9 or higher, 81% of all students attained a CGPA of 8 or higher and 89% of all students attained a CGPA of 7 or higher. Delta English School students first undertook their CBSE Secondary School Examination in 2014. Since then, the percentage of Delta English School students scoring ≥ 9 CGPA has increased by 10% and those scoring ≥ 8 CGPA has increased by 31%. Delta English School grade 10 average CGPA for 2017 is 8.7 - higher than the 8.2 CGPA secured in its first Secondary School Exam. However, the school’s pass rate has remained at a remarkable 100% since 2014. Across all students, 88% of grades were better than predicted on entry into Secondary School (based on grade eight exit exams) and grade nine final exam outcomes, which confirm the efficacy of first class teaching and learning support levels engineered at Delta English School. “The grade 10 results are testament to the quality of our educational programs and have been achieved alongside a rich and busy extra-curricular program,” remarked Anita D’cruz, Principal and Executive Director of Delta English School. She further commented, “The academic success of these Titans should come as no surprise considering that Delta English School offers a challenging and rewarding educational experience that hybridizes scholastic and co-scholastic domains inside and outside the classroom. In fact, my expectation was that 30% of our students should have secured a 10 CGPA considering their competency levels. Upon analyzing the results, we observed that some candidates missed the perfect score target by a few decimal points in their CGPA. However, I am confident that we can meet our expectations with the upcoming student batches. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the department heads, faculty and parent community who were the impetus behind our Titans’ success. Over the years, we have watched them evolve, excel and transform into confident global citizens ready to take on any challenges presented by 21st century dynamics. They are an ambitious, energetic and engaging group of individuals and will unequivocally experience greater rewards in life.” Despite the recent success, certain stakeholders at Delta English School perceive that the school has not yet reached its highest performance potential and one such individual is Anuja Anand, Academic Supervisor and Head of Natural Sciences at Delta English School. According to Anand, “I do share in the celebration of our students’ success but I am perturbed by our lower-than-projected outcomes in Science. With the National Agenda demanding that our country must feature in the top 20 countries in PISA and among the top 15 in TIMSS, Delta English School’s focus and excellence in STEM must now be stronger and bolder than ever.” Anand continued by saying, “My 14 years as a teacher and administrator at Delta English School has revealed that students generally adopt a binary approach to Science – they either love or hate it, with some going solo on Physics, Chemistry or Biology. Last year, we rolled out a brand new curriculum framework that incorporates differentiated instruction, student-led learning, 21st century CCR (College and Career Readiness) skills, extensive interdisciplinary connections and multi-variant ICT integrations. The grade 10 students, whose overall success we have just witnessed, were members of this pilot program. With scientific process skills going to form the basis for every science topic in our new framework, future Delta English School students are guaranteed to develop excitement and deeper appreciation for all Science streams, close their Science learning gaps, increase their Science outcome-to-goal ratios and will eventually become passionate to pursue stable careers in Science.” Like Anand, Delta English School’s Department of Mathematics shares a similar perspective of the school’s academic success. A statement released by the Department, in response to the recent CBSE grade 10 Math outcomes, reads as follows: It is universally accepted that Mathematics, of all courses, renders the highest fright factor to the nth possibility. It is our responsibility, as Delta English School subject-matter experts and teachers, to make Math approachable and relatable across grade levels. We commend grade level 10 students on their recent victory but strongly feel that there is ample room for raising the performance bar. In recent department meetings, we have started to aggressively bridge Math with alien courses like English, Social Science and even Art Education. We have already slated multiple inter-department workshops in the coming months during which we will raise topics from various Math courses and have non-Math instructors chalk out ways to creatively embed Math concepts within their lesson plans. This will offer opportunities for students to gain real-life perspectives of Math in action. One of our department pipeline initiatives is to roll out a comprehensive e-learning solution that will gamify the Math experience and create differentiated learning pathways for each student. Our Math faculty has already made student-led learning the focus of each lesson and will increase the usage of our existing state-of-the-art Math labs to complement each lesson’s small group activities. These enhancements are part of a grassroots campaign that carries a 1-2 year gestation period, but will ultimately have all Delta English School Math courses synced with disciplines that students imagined could never relate to Math. Quality of assessments at Delta English School has been a major talking point in recent months. Unlike majority of independent schools, Delta English School possesses a proprietary assessment engine that was born nine years ago. The platform delivers multiple testing modes throughout the year that are challenging and diverse in composition, encompassing vignette-based multiple choice and constructed-response items. Thelma Thomas, Head of English Language Arts at Delta English School, with over 30 years of teaching experience, believes that this assessment engine is due for major upgrades. “Over the past five years, we have witnessed double-digit increases in student scores owing to the high number of testing modes that we administer each month.
