Jio, airteland Vodafone ideaall reported their Q1 FY23 results.
- While Jio leads in almost every major statistic, his closest rival Airtel is still fighting.
- Vodafone Idea has made some modest improvements, but it still has a long way to go to regain financial health.
The Indian telecom market has become a three-way race with only two major players long ago. However, backed by one of the leading Indian conglomerates, Vodafone Idea has languished so badly that its first quarter losses of ₹7,296 crore are more than the profits of the top two players, Jio and Airtel, combined.
In fact, Jio made almost three times more profit than Airtel, despite only having 16% more subscribers than the latter.
Vodafone Idea lost $10 million each day in Q1 FY23 – more than Jio and Airtel’s combined gains.
While Jio is ahead of the game, the oldest player Airtel is still ahead in margins. Airtel leads the way when it comes to the amount of revenue each subscriber contributes on average (ARPU).
While Airtel has long been the market leader in this field, Jio is catching up quickly, while Vodafone Idea is still far behind.
Together, Jio, Airtel and Vodafone Idea have more than 1 billion subscribers – slightly less than the population of the US and Europe combined.
Jio’s decision to skip the 2G and 3G technologies and jump straight on the 4G bandwagon now helps it reap rewards its rivals can only dream of.
Airtel is its closest competitor in terms of subscribers, profits, ARPU, and other metrics — and yet, despite having nearly 86% of the total subscriber base Jio has, Jio’s 4G subscriber base is more than double that of Jio’s. airtel.
Airtel and Vodafone Idea together have fewer 4G subscribers than Jio – for every four 4G subscribers Jio has, Airtel and Vodafone Idea together only have three.
Why does this matter? For starters, this metric shows how much data each subscriber consumes, and since data services are more expensive compared to voice, this results in higher revenues and profits.
This can be seen in the average data usage data, where Jio dominates with Airtel a close second and Vodafone Idea a very distant third. It’s also worth noting that Airtel and Vodafone Idea numbers only apply to subscribers using data services – this is not true for Jio, as all of its subscribers are on 4G.
Even in terms of speech, Vodafone Idea is way behind both Airtel and Jio.
The way forward for the telecom sector
Regardless of how telecom players performed in FY22, there is broad consensus among analysts and the telcos themselves that rate hikes are coming – both Airtel and Vodafone Idea have admitted this in their latest phone calls from investors.
“We expect a rate hike of about 15% by telcos in the near term to offset cash outflows in the near term, as most incremental 5G benefits from industrial use cases are still at least two to three years away,” according to a report from ICICI. Straight away.
This is partly due to the fact that the 20-25% increase in November last year has now been fully absorbed and telcos have to increase their ARPUs. The recent 5G spectrum auctions are also another trigger for telcos to raise rates as they seek to offset the large capex spend.
A report from IIFL Securities says that both
“After the spectrum auction, we expect the relative positioning of the top two telcos – Jio and Airtel – to be further strengthened with increasing churn opportunities for VIL as Jio/Airtel’s service coverage/capacity improves,” added the ICICI Direct- report to it.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs sounded optimistic, saying, “With our expectation of a rate increase before the end of CY22 and the added benefit of a lower SUC (Spectrum Usage Charge) from September ’22, we predict that Bharti’s wireless segment will deliver 22% in FY22 -24E revenue CAGR.”
A Nomura report also said a 4% tariff increase would be enough to cover 5G spectrum gains.
There seems to be a growing consensus that Vodafone Idea will continue to weaken – with Jio and Airtel’s 5G spectrum wins, and Vodafone Idea’s relatively lackluster bids further bolstering this theory.
Over the years, the telecom industry has rapidly consolidated after the arrival of $RELIANCE.NSE Jio. Of 15 service providers, we are left with 4 with a market share of more than 99%. Post Jio’s ARPU (average revenue per user) declined from 300 in 2007 to 78 in 2017. $BHARTIARTL.NSE reported ARPUs of ₹183 in Q1FY23, up 2.7% quarter on quarter. In 5 years ARPUs will be back at ₹300. This time they are well balanced with the 5g rollout plans and debt remains reasonable. $IDEA.NSE also saw an improvement in ARPUs over the last 4 Qtrs, at ₹ 128 in Q1FY23, up 23% year over year. Though the losses increase at ₹7295cr in Q1FY23 vs ₹6549cr in Q4FY22. The company is losing market share. How they will repay debt and recoup lost ground remains to be seen with the lowest ARPUs of the 3. Jio’s ARPUs were up 24% and the total customer base rose to 419.9 million versus 410 million in the last quarter. Standalone profitability is also up 24% this quarter. In the future, it could be a 2 horse race where Jio & Airtel have the financial clout in this asset-heavy industry.

The News: Cisco has reportedly made an acquisition offer to Splunk for a rumored $20 billion. Neither company has commented on the situation. It’s also reported that the talks are not happening currently. The news of the potential deal broke on Friday and after hours trading over the weekend caused Splunk’s stock to rise. Read the full story from CNBC.
Cisco Reportedly Offers to Buy Splunk for $20 Billion
Analyst Take: Over the past few months I have had my eye on Splunk as an acquisition target and Cisco as the most likely suitor. So when this alleged deal hit the WSJ, it didn’t surprise me one bit. I love this deal for Cisco, and I do see how this could be good for Splunk as well, depending on the final terms if an agreement was to be hammered out.
This deal, while in its current state is apparently not going forward, would be a statement acquisition by Cisco. With the initial offer rejected, that doesn’t take away the merit of the deal for the company. As mentioned, I see this as a strong fit for Cisco, which is why the onus is on it to come back to the table. As I see it, Splunk’s presence in the security and observability space would be an incredibly attractive addition to Cisco’s existing solutions, while adding a substantial cloud and recurring revenue-based business to the company’s top line.
Cisco’s growth has been harder to come by as the company has made a number of key pivots to the cloud, software, and other higher-margin offerings including its popular Webex solutions as well as AppDynamics among others. The communications giant has a rich history of acquisitions, making over 230 throughout the life of the company. But none have been as big as this potential deal for Splunk.
Good Move for All Involved
As of the close of the market on Monday, Splunk’s share price is up 9% for the day. The slight growth is promising as the share price has been pulled back significantly over the last few months as the company has dealt with the macroeconomic pressures like interest rates and inflation that have been impacting most high-tech stocks.
Having said that, Splunk has seen significant growth overall. The company has been pivoting to a recurring revenue model by shifting from traditional software licenses to cloud-based subscriptions while also steadily growing the customer base. This growth and its corner on a key market segment continue to make Splunk an attractive acquisition for Cisco.
Whether or not this deal goes through, I think it will have a positive impact on Splunk’s future. The company is continuing to search for the right successor CEO to fill the shoes left by Doug Merritt. I also have no doubt the company will continue its positive growth trend over the next few quarters and will keep the shareholders happy, no matter the outcome of this situation.

I thought this guy was going to make a play on this fly ball. I really did.
But alas, the flag-wearing man who casually jogged from the outfield seats at Safeco Field during play of the Mariners-Cardinals game was either uninterested in fielding the ball or simply overran it. This is a rarity — anytime someone gets onto the field at a baseball game, it's between innings or pitches, so play is stopped. But the ball was in the air when he did, so players just fielded around him.
Deadspin has video of the guy getting crushed by security.

“Before the 2020 election, I said if I could know one fact about the results, I could tell you who was going to win Pennsylvania. Whoever wins Erie County will win Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said in a statement announcing the rally, “Erie County is Pennsylvania’s most important flagship county. I have visited Erie dozens and dozens of times in the past, and I am honored and proud to return here for the campaign electoral.
Donald Trump won Erie County in 2016 and Joe Biden captured it in 2020.
Fetterman takes on famed doctor Mehmet Oz in the November election. Oz has remained active on the campaign trail since winning the Republican primary, although he has been criticized for would have taking trips to Ireland and Palm Beach, Florida.
Despite his absence from the campaign trail, a recent poll showed Fetterman with the advantage. Fetterman held an 11-point lead over Oz, 47% to 36%, in a Fox News poll released July 28. 3% supported independent candidate Everett Stern and 13% supported someone else or were undecided.
In an interview at the end of last month with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — his first media interview since his stroke — Fetterman said he feels ready to get back on the track.
“I can miss a word once in a while in a conversation, or I can articulate two words. Even then, I think it’s infrequent,” Fetterman said. “So I feel like we’re ready to run, and that’s the only problem I have. This is the absolute truth, 100%.”
Fetterman’s campaign office announced on May 15, two days before the primary, that he suffered a stroke “caused by my heart clot in A-fib rhythm for too long.” Doctors worked to “quickly and completely remove the clot, reversing the stroke, they also brought my heart under control,” Fetterman said in the statement released by his campaign. Doctors attached a pacemaker with a defibrillator.
He told the Post-Gazette he had “no physical limitations,” walked four to five miles a day in 90-degree heat, understood words correctly, and didn’t had lost none of his memory. He said he worked with a speech therapist and sometimes had trouble hearing.
The race to fill the seat held by incumbent Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R) is considered one of the most competitive in the nation and will help determine majority control of the Senate.
The Republican National Senate Committee, the campaign arm of the GOP, mocked Fetterman with a count of his off-track days and an image of him with the words “Have you seen this person?”
He sent out another statement hours before the Fetterman campaign announcement, saying, “Another Friday without Fetterman.”

The New Zealand track cyclist Eddie Dawkins has won silver in the men's time trial at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, adding to the gold he won in the men's team sprint.
Dawkins broke the Commonwealth Games record in his ride, becoming the first man to go under the magic one minute mark with a time of 59.928 seconds.
He stayed in the gold medal position until the very last rider, Australian Matthew Glaetzer, took to the velodrome and beat the Commonwealth Games record again with a time of 59.340 to claim gold and push the New Zealander into second.
Glaetzer's time was the fastest ever in the men's time trial at sea level.
Natasha Hansen has won bronze in the women's keirin.
She adds to the two silver medals she won in the women's team sprint and women's individual sprint.
And teenage track cyclist Campbell Stewart has claimed his second silver medal of the Games after finishing second in the men's points race.
The 19-year-old rode a superb race, consistently taking points to finish just 11 points behind the winner Mark Stewart of Scotland, who took third at the recent World Championships in the Netherlands.
Stewart won silver in last night's men's scratch race at his debut Commonwealth Games.
Australia's current world champion and pre-race favourite Cameron Meyer finished outside the medals in fourth.

The United States has forty state lotteries, operated by the government. These are monopolies, meaning there is no commercial competition, and their profits fund government programs. As of August 2004, there were forty state lotteries. As of the end of that year, nearly 90% of U.S. residents lived in a state where the lottery was operated. Anyone who was physically present in one of those states could purchase a ticket. The odds of winning a prize are relatively low, but the prize money can be significant.
The first recorded lotteries in America offered money prizes in return for tickets sold. In the seventeenth century, George Washington conducted a lottery in Virginia to fund the Mountain Road. Benjamin Franklin, who was an early proponent of lotteries, supported the practice of drawing lots to raise funds for the town’s fortifications. In the early nineteenth century, John Hancock ran a lottery to rebuild Faneuil Hall in Boston. In general, however, most colonial lotteries were unsuccessful.
In addition to contacting the lottery officials, lottery winners should consider consulting a certified financial planner. These experts can help them decide whether to take a lump sum or annuity payments. Either way, winning the lottery can bring with it many challenges and emotional strain. It is advisable to consult a financial planner and an attorney before claiming your prize. However, the best way to protect yourself from lawsuits is to wait a few months after winning to develop a financial plan and personal goals.
Lotteries have been used throughout history. The first recorded lotto tickets date back to 205 BC in China. It is believed that they helped finance major government projects. In the Chinese Book of Songs, the game of chance was referred to as a “drawing of wood or lots”.
The New York Lottery purchases special U.S. Treasury bonds known as STRIPS. These zero-coupon bonds are the most popular type of lottery tickets. The New York Lottery also buys STRIPS bonds, which are special U.S. Treasury Bonds that offer low interest rates. The New York Lottery does not sell the actual lottery products, but it can purchase these bonds. With the money you earn from the sales, you can expect to win a large prize.
Although the lottery pays out winnings in lump sums, winnings in the U.S. are not subject to personal income tax. A winner can elect to receive a lump sum or an annuity, and he or she can choose to choose one. The one-time payment, however, is generally less than the advertised jackpot, due to the time value of money and income taxes. Additionally, withholdings may vary depending on the jurisdiction and type of investment.
If your lottery winnings are higher than expected, you might not purchase a lottery ticket. However, if you maximize your expected utility, purchasing a lottery ticket is a waste of money. In a general utility function, you’ll likely find a solution. In some cases, monetary losses may even be more valuable than the non-monetary gains. You should not buy a lottery ticket unless you’re in a position to risk losing your money.

Among the sections of ProiezionidiBorsa, we often talk about how nutrition can help us solve some health problems. Some foods, in fact, are recognized by science as bringing benefits for our body. We have had proof of this with legumes, but also with numerous autumn vegetables.
Therefore, the importance of a balanced and varied diet is fundamental to feeling good. But there are not only legumes and vegetables. In fact, a diet based only on these 2 ingredients may seem reductive. Spices also guarantee flavor and variety.
In today’s article we will talk about an aromatic ingredient that comes from afar. A spice blend that contains many benefits. In fact, this spice could counteract blood sugar and cholesterol but here is who absolutely should not use it. Going forward we will reveal its composition and above all its nutritional properties. But be careful, because someone could risk contraindications.
A set of flavors
The spice we are talking about today is curry. This blend consists of various aromatic herbs and seeds in varying quantities. The first is turmeric, usually contained in higher quantities than the others. Then we find mustard, ginger, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, cinnamon, black pepper, chilli, nutmeg and curry leaves.
The latter come from a tree native to southwestern Asia. Its small leaves have been used since ancient times to flavor dishes. It is from this plant that the name of this mixture of spices derives, one of the most loved in the world. In fact, although curry originated in Asia, it has also conquered Western cuisine.
This spice could counteract blood sugar and cholesterol but here’s who absolutely shouldn’t use it
The presence of numerous varieties of spices makes curry possess many beneficial qualities. The anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin are now known. It is not for nothing that turmeric is considered the queen of spices. Furthermore, thanks to its pain-relieving properties, curcumin is capable of relieving joint pain. Like turmeric, ginger and chilli also help digestion and promote metabolism. Pepper, on the other hand, helps blood circulation.
However, despite all these positive characteristics, curry is not a suitable spice for everyone. Medical science has revealed that those with gastritis and stomach ulcers should avoid it. In fact, chilli and pepper are not recommended in the case of these problems.
Even those who are pregnant should eliminate it during the entire breastfeeding period. In fact, the presence of capsaicin makes breast milk bitter and spicy. Finally, the turmeric present in the mix stimulates the secretion of bile acids. Therefore, its use is not recommended for those suffering from gallstones.

Frenchman sets new round-the-world sailing record
Sixty-year-old Frenchman Francis Joyon and his five man crew on Thursday smashed the round-the-world sailing record becoming the first team to circumnavigate the globe without assistance in 40 days.
The team on Idec Sport entered Brest on the west coast of France having completed the trip in 40 days 23 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
The veteran sailor beat by more than four days, the record set in January 2012 by fellow Frenchman Loick Peyron, who with a crew of 13, set a time of 45 days, 13 hours, 42 minutes and 53 seconds when they won the Jules Verne Trophy.

Graf von Faber Castell Caucasian NutWood Fountain Pen Of The Year 2010
The Pen of the Year 2010 is adored with case-hardened metal parts and fine engravings. Until the late 19th century, case hardening was the sign of a high-quality gun, with the inimitable shimmering coloration it provides. For centuries, the technique was handed down by word of mouth and was something of a secret art. The metal parts are usually packed in carbonized leather and heated to convert the surface into steel; the colours appear on cooling. Some 20 parameters contribute to the beautiful visual effect, including the thickness of the metal, the temperature, and the rate of cooling.
No two case-hardened items are identical. The effect is rounded off by elaborate gold damascene work. Before the case hardening, the engraver cuts a groove with a dovetail cross-section, and the 24-carat gold inlay is later set into it, which is then polished.
The material of the Graf von Faber Castell Caucasian NutWood Fountain Pen Of The Year 2010 pen barrel fully matches up to the claim of exclusivity: precious Caucasian nut wood. Stored for many years, walnut wood is tough and not particularly elastic but it does not warp or splinter. It also better withstands compression and flexing forces than oak. In short, it is the ideal wood for the stock of a gun and for very special writing implements. The Graf von Faber Castell Caucasian NutWood Fountain Pen Of The Year 2010 possesses a beautiful figuring, with fine but marked patterns. The hand-carved ˜fish scales™ pattern rounds off the overall effect of the barrel.
The valuable wood of the barrel and the masterfully crafted metal parts make the Graf von Faber Castell Caucasian NutWood Fountain Pen Of The Year 2010 an exclusive and individual fountain pen. The platinum-plated end cap, decorated with a case-hardened metal disc, protects the knob for the plunger mechanism, on which each pen is individually numbered. The case has a lid made of walnut veneer. A certificate testifies that the pen with its 24-carat gold inlays is one of a limited edition.
Highly recommended for one who likes outdoor sports and hunting.
About Graf von Faber Castell
The legacy unveals from the idea of enclosing a thin graphite lead in a wooden casing was several hundred years old; it was not new when the ancestors of Faber Castell founded a pencil factory in 1761. It was only when the great great grandfather of Baron Lothar von Faber, who took over the family firm in 1839, was the first to turn the pencil into a genuity quality product of functionality and the world's First Brand Name writing implement.
Standards for the length, diameter and hardness of pencils; standards which apply till today. He was credited for creating a series of fascinating products which continued to set an example of Simplicity and Design.
The GrandFather of Count Anton von Faber Castell; Count Alexander zu Castell-Rudenhausen carried on this tradition. The Faber Castell company which takes its name from Count Anton's grandfather's marriage to Lothar von Faber's granddaughter Ottilie, is not only the oldest manufacturer of wood cased pencils, but also the world's best known name in graphite and colour pencils.
Graf von Faber Castell 's elegant design continued to reign till today more than 250 years later. With wonderful collections like the Pen of The Year POY and classic quality collections like the pernambuco wood, ebony and its iconic Perfect Pencil still the favourite of many generations to come.
Timeless design remains the heart of the company since then and will continue to be so to bring the life Simplicity Is A Luxury Itself; an embodiment of luxury of simplicity, harmonious combination of selected quality materials, aesthetic looks and a high standard of functionalism.

Pseudogout is a form of arthritis characterized by sudden painful swelling in one or more of your joints. As we discussed a few weeks ago, true gout is caused by a deposition of uric acid crystals within the joints. Differing from true gout, pseudogout is a deposit of crystals within the joint, however, the crystal make up is different than that of true gout.
Also called calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease or CPPD, pseudogout is very similar to gout as it is caused by crystal deposits within the joint. It is not clear why crystals form in the joints and cause pseudogout but the risk increases with age. There are treatments which help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Pseudogout most commonly affects the knees, less often in the wrists and ankles and in many cases there are no symptoms. However, during an attack the pseudogout affected joints are usually swollen, warm and severe painful.
Risk factors for pseudogout include:
1) old age, as the risk of developing pseudogout increases with age
2) joint trauma such as an injury increases risk of pseudogout in that joint
3) a genetic disorder, in some families a predisposition for developing pseudogout is hereditary. These people tend to develop pseudogout at young ages.
4) Mineral imbalances—the risk of pseudogout is higher for people who have excessive calcium or iron in their blood or too little magnesium
5) In other medical conditions including an underactive thyroid gland, or over active parathyroid gland.
The crystal deposits associated with pseudogout can also cause joint damage which can mimic the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The diagnosis of pseudogout is imperative as it can mimic symptoms of gout and other types of arthritis. Therefore, lab and imaging tests are usually necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests can also check for problems with a thyroid and parathyroid gland as well as for a variety of mineral imbalances that have been linked to pseudogout. Aspiration of the fluid from the joint can be performed to evaluate for the presence of crystals. X-rays of the affected joint can reveal joint damage and crystal deposits in the joint cartilage.
Although there is no cure for pseudogout, a combination of treatments can help relieve pain and improve function. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine and corticosteroids are beneficial and occasionally joint drainage via needle aspiration is effective in relieving pain and pressure in the joint. Resting the joint and applying ice is also useful.
As you can see, pseudogout has many characteristics of gout and therefore, a negative gout work up may simply mean that the joint is affected by pseudogout. Therefore, evaluating both conditions is imperative in order to arrive at a proper diagnosis. For more information on gout and pseudogout and the physical therapy treatments which may be beneficial, do not hesitate to contact the clinic to schedule a no cost consultation.

The cityâ€™s highest-ranking water official has said this week that petty personal politics got in the way of public safety in the planning of local efforts during the recent water emergency.
Water Facilities Director Joe Maglione said that – despite being the highest ranking licensed water operator in Revere – he wasnâ€™t even invited to Sundayâ€™s planning meeting or even called about a situation that had everything to do with the water system.
â€œIn my opinion, itâ€™s a personal thing,â€ said Maglione. â€œOne shouldnâ€™t have anything to do with the other here. Itâ€™s a public safety issue here weâ€™re dealing with. Iâ€™ve been on the emergency management team since the Bob Haas administration. Am I out of it now? Am I out of the loop? This is all about one person [in the DPW] who canâ€™t let something go from the past. This had nothing to do with that.â€
Maglione has been on the Water Department in the Department of Public Works (DPW) for more than 20 years and did his job quietly and commendably.
About two years ago, two former, disgraced DPW workers falsely accused him of taking bribes to approve their illegal drain laying side jobs.
Maglione was put on paid leave for nearly one-year and then was forced to defend himself in a long, drawn out hearing in front of the State Ethics Commission – a hearing that further stressed his relationship with the administration and some in the DPW.
The Commission eventually cleared him of any wrongdoing, and two weeks ago it was reported that a mediator awarded him $25,000 in overtime pay that he lost while on paid leave.
Now, he thinks that his public struggles in the DPW over the last two years have clouded the judgment of city leaders.
â€œI think this was not handled the way it should have been,â€ he said. â€œThey had an emergency management meeting and there wasnâ€™t one licensed water facilities operator there…I wasnâ€™t involved with it and I didnâ€™t even get a courtesy phone call before or after…I feel that leaving me and my other licensed operators out of the loop was not proper. Every other city and town had water people involved. On all the news conferences, sitting alongside the officials were licensed operators…I think itâ€™s an embarrassment personally we werenâ€™t fully involved. My men arenâ€™t too happy about it either.â€
Chief Gene Doherty, who headed up emergency management, said that he sent notice to the DPW and they sent representatives. He said that Maglione probably should have had a seat at the table, but that wasnâ€™t his call.
Maglione indicated that neither he nor his men – among whom there are a handful of licensed water operators – are upset because of money. In other words, he said that no one is ticked off only because they didnâ€™t get to cash in on overtime pay.
â€œI feel this is a little slap and I donâ€™t consider it a money issue,â€ he said. â€œMoney is tight, but I think enough guys here have the heart to come in and do the work and worry about getting paid later.â€
Maglione said he would have suggested that water be delivered to the nursing homes and elderly shut-ins, that the emergency 9-1-1 call go out earlier and that there be a live phone operator to answer questions from residents.
â€œThose would have been some of the suggestions I would have made, but I wasnâ€™t invited to attend and I wasnâ€™t going to put myself into it because Iâ€™m tired of fighting all this,â€ he said.

“Any whose business brought them to the attic looked in the corners warily, while they stayed, but the servants did not like to go there alone.” – “The First Wife” (1895)
Katharine Tynan (1859-1931) was born in South Richmond Street, Dublin on 23 January 1859. She was raised in Whitehall, the family home in Clondalkin. Her literary salon there attracted notables such as the mystical poet A.E. and W. B. Yeats, the latter with whom she formed a lifelong friendship. With encouragement from Rosa Mulholland, Tynan became a prolific writer, authoring more than a hundred novels in addition to memoirs, journalism, numerous volumes of poetry, and a tribute to her friend Dora Sigerson Shorter in The Sad Years (1918). Her works deal with nationalism, feminism, and Catholicism—Yeats declared of her early collection Shamrocks (1887) that “in finding her nationality, she has also found herself”. Tynan died in Wimbledon, London on 2 April 1931. Her short stories, often featuring sketches of Irish life, can be found in An Isle in the Water (1895), Men and Maids (1908), and Lovers’ Meeting (1914).
Bending to Earth: Strange Stories by Irish Women edited by Maria Giakaniki and Brian J. Showers
Irish women have long produced literature of the gothic, uncanny, and supernatural. Bending to Earth draws together twelve such tales. While none of the authors herein were considered primarily writers of fantastical fiction during their lifetimes, they each wandered at some point in their careers into more speculative realms — some only briefly, others for lengthier stays.
Names such as Charlotte Riddell and Rosa Mulholland will already be familiar to aficionados of the eerie, while Katharine Tynan and Clotilde Graves are sure to gain new admirers. From a ghost story in the Swiss Alps to a premonition of death in the West of Ireland to strange rites in a South Pacific jungle, Bending to Earth showcases a diverse range of imaginative writing which spans the better part of a century.

More and more we want the home to become a comforting refuge from uncertainty and external stress, a place where colors and textures convey warmth, comfort and, above all, connect us again with the earth.
To create serene and cozy atmospheres, Let’s Pause has designed the NUS collection, available in three earth tones, ideal for taking refuge in the warmth of the home. NUS is made up of lamps, cushions, headboards and rugs, made with fique fiber crocheted or knitted. The fique (Furcraea andina) is a plant with fleshy stalks, from which a hard, fine and shiny fiber is extracted to weave hammocks, nets and coffee bags. Let’s Pause’s expert artisans work the fibrous thread of the fique, turning it into decorative elements whose soft mesh preserves its original natural essence and tells the story of valued and respected women. The fique is extracted from the plant by a “combing” process that removes the outer part of the leaf and leaves only the fiber. Naturally, this fiber is white on the upper leaves, still young, and light brown on the lower ones, those that have already matured and almost touch the ground. These two natural colours, along with dark anthracite grey, dress the new Let’s Pause fall-winter collection.
White is a classic and timeless colour that brings light, clarity and optimism. Let’s Pause opts for a warm white, which brings us closer to the natural world with pearl, bone and ivory tones.
White hues provide light and a feeling of spaciousness and are an excellent resource to create serene and pleasant spaces, especially in small rooms.
Along with white, light brown is another totally natural shade from the Let’s Pause collection, a colour that diffuses a warm feeling in the environment, creating cosy rooms with a strong connection with the earth.
Light brown can be used alone, combined with white, or integrated with other earth tones to form a gradient in space.
Anthracite grey, similar to volcanic stone, is obtained by dyeing the white fibre of the fique and is an intense tone that provides a touch of sobriety, creating very stylish environments where calm and serenity reign.
Very close to black, anthracite grey is a dark but at the same time soft tone that shelters spaces and provides them with depth and texture.
The three shades of NUS combine perfectly with wood, one of the finishes most linked to the earth and with a strong presence in the Let’s Pause catalogue. The firm proposes stools, ladders and other furniture in natural wood or in died earth tones to combine them with its natural fibre décor accessories.
Let’s Pause designs create spaces and atmospheres where the pace of time seems to slow down, to restore your balance and protect you from the fast pace of life in the city, so you can rest better.

It is still difficult to determine in September if the Bull Run is over or if it will continue.
We can try to determine the probabilities to possibly take a position for a trade. Or be patient and hold to avoid taking risks.
We can consider a bearish scenario, if we estimate that the Bull Run ended with a top close to $ 65,000 :
On the contrary, we can consider a bullish scenario, if we believe that the Bull Run is not over :
Or Bitcoin could continue to move in a range for a while :
(Screenshots I made with TradingView)
Currently, it is difficult to favor one scenario over another (and scenarios different from what is put forward here may also occur).
I do not know if you have ever had any friends or acquaintances who have ever asked you if this is the right time to buy Bitcoin.
But in my opinion, there isn't really a good time unless you can go back in time.
In a long term investment, I think the price of Bitcoin in 4, 5 or 10 years will be higher than it is now. But this is only a personal estimate because we do not know what can happen.
We just follow a path, one step after another towards the unknown.
We can only build an investment plan that will evolve over time and according to our personal situation.
This is not investment advice. And the possibility that I'm wrong is also to be taken into account.
The crypto market is young, volatility is high, do your own research and measure the risks before making a decision.
Thanks for reading my post and happy earnings :)

Thyssenkrupp, a prominent multinational conglomerate, has established itself as a key player in various industrial sectors. Originating in Germany, it is a result of the merger between Thyssen AG and Krupp in 1999, bringing together two of Germany’s oldest and most significant industrial companies.
Rajesh Kamath will head thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions India, the plant engineering group company of thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions AG (BU Uhde) in India.
CF Industries has signed an engineering and procurement contract with thyssenkrupp to supply a 20 megawatt (MW) alkaline water electrolysis plant to produce green hydrogen at the Company’s Donaldsonville, Louisiana, manufacturing complex.
STEAG, thyssenkrupp Steel and thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers are working on a joint feasibility study. The study deals with the construction of a water electrolysis plant at the STEAG site in Duisburg-Walsum by thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers, the structuring of energy supply and operation of the electrolysis plant by STEAG and the supply of green hydrogen and oxygen to thyssenkrupp Steel's steel mill in the neighboring Duisburg district of Bruckhausen.
The Duisburg register court has appointed Dr Verena Volpert (60) as a member of the Supervisory Board. Dr Verena Volpert was Head of Finance at E.ON SE in Essen from 2006 to June 2020 and as a top executive was responsible for the groups entire finance area.
Air Products and thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers announced the signing of a Strategic Cooperation Agreement (SCA). The two companies will collaborate exclusively in key regions, using their complementary technology, engineering, and project execution strengths to develop projects supplying green hydrogen.
thyssenkrupp has now significantly expanded its production capacities for electrolysis plants for the production of green hydrogen: From now on, the company can produce electrolysis cells with a total output of up to one gigawatt annually, together with its strategic supplier and joint venture partner De Nora.

Above is a Robert Stanley cover and below are numerous interior scans from an issue of the vintage men's magazine Adventure published this month in 1958. For some reason we don't think of this as one of the major magazines of the type, but the masthead tells us this issue is part of volume 134. The content consists of fiction and fact from assorted authors, and a photo feature on model Virginia De Lee. The story art is by Gil Cohen, John Styga, Rudy Nappi, et al, and we should amend our cover credit—Stanley painted the western scene, but the pistol and badge plopped atop his careful work were painted by James Triggs. Wonder how Stanley felt about that? Scans below.

Above is a Mort Kunstler cover for Male painted for the January 1965 issue. Kunstler was famed for his war panoramas, as we’ve discussed before, and if you click his keywords below you’ll see several more martial covers from him that we’ve shared. Inside Male you also get art from Charles Copeland, Samson Pollen, and Gil Cohen. The model feature is Susan Radford, who is described as a starlet but who we’d never heard of. Turns out it wasn’t just us. We checked the usual databases and found no mention of Radford anywhere, so it seems Male editors were premature in dubbing her a major riser.
Male focused on all kinds of violent adventures, but especially those dealing with warfare. This issue has four war stories dealing with the Soviet Union, China, and the Nazis, but the most notable entry is South African author Anthony Trew’s gripping Two Hours to Darkness, published here as booklength fiction. The tale is described in the contents as “the nightmarish spine-tingler that will be the movie blockbuster of 1965,” but it looks like Male was wide of the mark again, because no film based on the book was ever released. So Trew had to settle for selling a measly 3.5 million copies of the novel in sixteen languages, the hack. We have a dozen scans below.

At CLOUD CITY, a new BSS and charging company took the wraps of its technology stack and software, promising to leverage Open APIs and the public cloud to revolutionize telco charging.
So how is it going to deliver on that promise? Keith Dyer speaks to Sudhanshu Sinha, head of sales at Totogi.
KD: Sudhanshu, Totogi has developed what it calls a “webscale public cloud charging solution”, what is that?
SS: Totogi currently has two solutions for CSPs – Totogi Charging System and Totogi BSS.
Totogi Charging System harnesses the power of the public cloud to deliver real-time, webscale charging with unmatched performance, intelligent plan design with nearly instantaneous deployment and AI/ML-driven hyper-personalization at scale.
Totogi BSS is the world’s first pure cloud, webscale BSS that leverages TM Forum’s Open APIs (all of them by the end of 2021) to give carriers the agility and flexibility needed to drive more valuable subscriber engagement. With the public cloud, capacity and disaster recovery planning are eliminated as the system scales and fails over automatically.
The Totogi suite of products empower carriers to acquire new customers, boost NPS, reduce churn, and grow ARPU. Being built on the public cloud also means Totogi offers all the cost benefits of the hyperscalers and expects the systems to be 80% lower TCO as compared to private cloud and on-premise systems.
We envision a future in which all telcos have moved all software to the public cloud. But we’re not waiting for the future, we’re building for that future.
KD: When you hear that, then maybe the next question is a bit redundant. But how does Totogi’s approach differ from the way telcos have traditionally deployed and managed their charging systems?
SS: There is no other telco software vendor focused on building software purpose-built for the public cloud like Totogi. Furthermore, Totogi is offering usage-based pricing, starting with a free tier option for CSPs, which is another industry first. Offering a free tier in the public cloud world is very common and is a great way to offer new technology to customers as they grow.
We envision a future in which all telcos have moved all software to the public cloud. But we’re not waiting for the future, we’re building for that future. From the first line of code, Totogi products are 100% purpose-built for the public cloud – with all the technical innovation, performance, agility, scalability, security, reliability, and cost-savings benefits that come with it. We believe by doing so, we can completely redefine (and improve) how telcos engage with subscribers.
KD: You have some amazing benchmark statistics, a million transactions a second and 500 million subscribers. Can you tell me more about this benchmarking study and results?
SS: In a recent performance benchmark study, Totogi demonstrated an industry-leading, never-seen-before, one million TPS 5G network traffic benchmark on the public cloud.
The Totogi solution scaled subscribers from five million to 500 million, and transactions were scaled from 5,000 to 500,000 per second, with no impacts.
This use case also demonstrated a multi-region peak load of one million transactions per second to show how the platform scales globally without hitting any physical limits, unlike traditional on-premise, single data center systems. We’ve committed to doubling this epic performance every six months, until we can concurrently handle every subscriber on the planet.
KD: Other vendors do talk about integrating software for the public cloud. How is Totogi different?
Unlike traditional systems that have been migrated to the cloud, Totogi demonstrates that a single database instance can be used to support prepaid, postpaid, and sharing models, thus eliminating the restrictions that other vendors face when trying to scale their legacy systems in the cloud.
KD: Does utilization of a public cloud infrastructure at such a scale expose CSPs to a lot of operational cost?
SS: Totogi is priced at a cost per transaction of $0.00005 ($50 per million transactions), which is 80% lower than traditional on-premise systems. This is all done while providing an accurate idempotent ACID-compliant processing model that includes synchronously replicating transactions across three data centers for the ultimate high availability solution.
KD: Totogi made its big introduction here at CLOUD CITY. How has the response been so far?
SS: The reaction has been fantastic! It’s been great to have such a big presence within CLOUD CITY by TelcoDR at MWC21 alongside other innovative vendors leveraging the public cloud. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to show MWC21 attendees our never-seen-before-in-telco features AND world record-breaking performance benchmark.


Covid-19: Germany reverses strict Easter shutdown amid backlash
Leaders agree the measure was a mistake and not enforceable in this form.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday reversed a planned strict Easter shutdown, the chief of her CDU party said, amid massive criticism of the government's pandemic management.
Merkel and the leaders of Germany's 16 states had agreed at marathon talks on Monday that almost all shops were to be closed on April 1-5, with only grocers allowed to open on Saturday April 3.
But they have now scrapped that measure, instead appealing to the public to stay home over the Easter weekend, CDU chief Armin Laschet told a regional parliament meeting in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The leaders had agreed the measure was "a mistake and not enforceable in this form", he said.
Merkel had called an unexpected crisis meeting on Wednesday morning as a backlash over the pandemic measures sent her CDU party's ratings plummeting.
Ahead of a Merkel press conference at 1130 GMT, Der Spiegel news magazine said the chancellor had also admitted the Easter shutdown was a "mistake".
The leaders were expected to "talk very critically about what happened two days ago", Laschet said ahead of the meeting.
Daniel Guenther, the state premier of Schleswig-Holstein, told the DPA news agency the meeting would focus on "implementation problems" around the measures agreed over Easter.
- 'Wrong priorities' -
The toughened shutdown had prompted fierce criticism, with the Bild daily calling the government's pandemic management a "mess".
"Merkel and the (regional leaders) have lost sight of the real problem," it said.
Der Spiegel called the measures a "scandal", claiming the government had "completely the wrong priorities" and should instead focus on improving its vaccination campaign and test strategy.
Infection numbers continue to rise in Germany, with 15,813 new cases reported in 24 hours on Wednesday by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) health agency.
As well as ordering the Easter shutdown, Merkel and the regional leaders agreed on Monday night to extend existing virus measures including keeping cultural, leisure and sporting facilities shut through to April 18.
"The situation is serious. Case numbers are rising exponentially and intensive care beds are filling up again," Merkel said after announcing the measures.
The British variant has become the dominant strain circulating in Germany, she said, noting: "We are in a new pandemic."
But patience is running thin in the country over a sluggish vaccine rollout, a delayed start to mass rapid testing and higher infection numbers despite months of shutdowns, with support for Merkel's Christian Democratic Union party at its lowest level for a year.
Europe's top economy will elect a new government in September, as Merkel is retiring after 16 years in power.

Also author of a book on corporate leadership. Contributor to books, including Communication Is Life, Speech Communication Association, 1990.
Avadian's books have been published in German, Spanish, Korean, and Slovenian.
SIDELIGHTS: Brenda once Avadian told CA: "I had always considered myself a speaker, not an author. In fact, while I was teaching at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, faculty members were invited to write the title of a book they would like to write. All of the faculty members wrote their book titles, except one—me. I did not fare well in English Composition 101 (took it twice) and shuddered at the thought of writing a book! In fact, it was not until I was writing my fifth book that I realized, 'Hey, this is real. You are an author, and people are actually interested in what you write!'
"I find writing to be a humbling experience. As with any skill, we develop our ability over time. When I look at Drive North in Your Career! The Five Types of Career Drivers, I am embarrassed to see my writing style back then because I have grown as a writer. And since Drive North is a published work, it's out there for people to see. Like today's successful actors and actresses who cope with airings of their earlier and possibly less-skilled performances, I hesitate mentioning it for fear of being rejected as a writer.
"On the other hand, writing and speaking are such powerful avenues to share one's message. For example, while coping with being a caregiver for my father who has Alzheimer's, I began writing a journal of my experiences. While sharing these experiences during support group meetings members encouraged me to write a book. I asked, 'Who would be interested in my experience?' 'We would!' they replied. I asked, 'Yes, but who will pay to read about my experience?' Before "Where's My Shoes?" My Father's Walk through Alzheimer's was finished, we received cash and checks for about sixty-five hardcover copies. I guess, at this point, I began to consider myself an author.
"I feel fortunate that audiences want to hear my message and show their support—we are told our back-of-the-room sales record is impressive at fifty percent. What's even better is that we donate forty percent of the sales proceeds to organizations that help people with Alzheimer's and their families."
Avadian later added: "In 2006 I pulled back from most of my weekly community activities after discovering that I was working fourteen-hour days, six to seven days a week, and running to and from numerous meetings. Even though I was helping a lot of people, I wasn't accomplishing my own goals in a timely manner. Our accountant had warned my husband that if I continued to run my business the way I had been, the Internal Revenue Service would declare me a hobbyist. This hit me very hard. I wondered what I could do to earn a decent profit beyond expenses. I decided to return to a twenty-eight year standby—trading in stocks and options. I couldn't have picked a worse time to reenter the market but, despite the losses on paper (and some actual), I am committed and do have plans to write a book on the subject after testing my methods and philosophy."

A holiday Mexican bread pudding comes off the secret menu
The title of Arizona poet laureate Alberto Álvaro Ríos’ memoir is “Capirotada,” the name of the anything-goes bread pudding from Mexico that typically shows up on menus around Los Angeles during Lent. “Mexican cooking’s version of fruitcake” is how Ríos describes the dish adding that it’s made with “a zoo of foods.”
A classic capirotada — if such a thing even exists — is stale or toasted bread soaked in a syrup (often referred to as the “honey”) made of piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar), cinnamon, cloves and sometimes nutmeg, peppercorns, star anise or coriander. But the list of other ingredients that can show up in capirotada seemingly stretches to infinity.
There are recipes that call for eggs, walnuts, pecans or boiled peanuts. Other versions involve milk, fresh fruit, dried apricots, apple slices, raisins and prunes. In certain households in Guadalajara, capirotada wouldn’t taste right unless tomatoes were part of the mix.
One thing that’s generally agreed upon is that much of what goes into capirotada has religious significance — the bread symbolizes the body of Christ, the syrup is his blood, cloves represent the nails of the cross and so on. But there appears to be little consensus on what the dish is actually supposed to look like.
At Dos Arbolitos restaurant in North Hills, what emerges from the kitchen when you order capirotada is a layer of soft, sweet bread pudding so low and covered with melted white cheese that at first glance you’d think it was a plate of refried beans.
East Los Angeles’ Tamales Lilianas restaurant hews a little closer to what you’d expect from the dessert portion of the menu, its offering bedazzled with white flakes of coconut and lots of brightly colored sprinkles.
At chefs Ramiro Arvizu and Jaime Martin Del Campo’s La Casita Mexicana in Bell and at Mexicano, their newly opened sister restaurant in the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, capirotada has been sort of a secret menu item.
“If you knew to order it, you could get it,” says Arvizu, adding that this year it will go public at both locations, available from this Thursday to Easter Sunday.
Arvizu, who is from Tecolotlán, a city in the central-western Mexican state of Jalisco, agrees that while it is perfectly acceptable to put “practically almost anything you want” in capirotada, their version, inspired by a family recipe, includes bread, raisins, peanuts, pecans, walnuts, Acitrón or candied cactus and a syrup made with milk, cinnamon sticks, cloves and piloncillo.
Of course, for those who grew up eating capirotada there’s a more ephemeral ingredient in every bite: nostalgia.
“It evokes the memories of our childhood in our country and our families,” says Arvizu, whose voice gets dreamy when describing the capirotada of boyhood.
“My grandmother would fry onions, then add tomatoes, then aged cotija cheese, then she’d layer it on bread that she’d lightly fry in oil or lard. Then she’d cover it with a wet cloth and cook it on the stove. It was salty and sweet, like a lasagna almost. And my mouth is watering just thinking about it.”

I appreciate the concerns of constituents about the recent rising tide of persecution of Christians, and indeed other religions. I can assure you all that the Government will continue to work hard to promote freedom of religion or belief across the world.
Multilateral organisations are a vital avenue for pursuing progress on what is an international issue. In the last Parliament, the Government worked with the United Nations Human Rights Council to implement Resolution 16/18, which lays the foundations for combating discrimination against people based on their religion throughout the world. Foreign Office Ministers brought together countries across the world to discuss implementation in 2013 and continued to monitor progress through a number of follow-up meetings.
The Government also prioritised freedom of religion through bilateral engagement with governments across the world, ensuring that every minister at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office was an ambassador for religious freedom, raising and promoting these issues in the countries for which they have responsibility will continue to do so going forward. For example, in China, the Government regularly raises the subject of harassment and legal restrictions faced by the Chinese Christian community at the UK-China Human Rights Dialogue, publishing quarterly updates on the progress made.
Of course, there is more work that needs to be done. I am assured that the Government will build on its work in the previous Parliament to make clear the facts of history and correct the views of those who seek to create conflict for their own divisive means, such as claiming Christianity in the Middle East is an import of ‘the west’.

Develop Your Creative Skills
Creativity is the heart and soul of graphic design. To become a graphic designer, you need to cultivate your creative skills in the following ways:

Pay attention to the designs of everyday objects like product packaging, websites, mobile apps, and marketing materials. Try to analyze what makes them visually effective or ineffective.
- Practice different techniques
Experiment with techniques like typography, color theory, photography, and image manipulation. You can find many tutorials online to guide you. One such tutorial that might help you significantly is UI/UX Design Tutorial for Beginners.
- Look for inspiration
Scroll through websites like Behance and Dribbble to find inspiration from other designers.
- Sketch your ideas
Sketching with pencil and paper is a great way to unleash your creativity. It also allows you to brainstorm ideas without committing to a particular design.
- Get feedback
Share your designs with other designers to get constructive criticism. Use their feedback to strengthen your designs and improve your skills.
Learn UI Designer’s skills, check out UI Designer Skills curated by experts!
Gain Technical Knowledge
While creativity is essential, you must also master industry-standard designing software to become a graphic designer. Some must-have technical skills include:
- Proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
These Adobe programs are the pillars of graphic design. Learn to use them for photo editing, vector graphics, layouts, and more.
- Knowledge of typography
Typography is central to graphic design. Familiarize yourself with different font categories, styles, and combinations. Learn how to choose fonts that match the intended message.
- Understanding of color theory
Know how colors can evoke emotions and meanings. Learn how to create color palettes that complement your designs.
- Skills in layout, composition, and spacing
Learn the principles of layout, composition, alignment, proximity, repetition, contrast, etc. These skills will allow you to organize design elements in a visually engaging way.
- Ability to meet technical specifications
As a designer, you need to create material that meets the print production requirements specified by the client. This includes correctly setting bleed areas, trim lines, crop marks, color spaces, and image resolutions.

Earn a Degree or Certificate in Graphic Design
While not always required, earning a degree or certificate in graphic design is beneficial for several reasons:
- Develop your talent under guidance:
Graphic design programs provide structured curricula to help you develop your skills under the guidance of experienced instructors.
- Build connections
College programs allow you to connect with peers and teachers who can support you in your career. Establish relationships that can lead to job opportunities and mentorship.
- Round out your skills
Degree and certificate programs offer a well-rounded education in graphic design. They expose you to critical skills like UI/UX design, 3D modeling, motion graphics, and branding strategy.
- Learn business skills
Programs that teach you business skills like client relations, project management, and pricing are crucial for a freelance career.
Build Your Design Portfolio
A stunning portfolio is essential to land a job as a graphic designer. Here are some tips for building an eye-catching portfolio:
- Focus on your strengths
Include 3-6 of your strongest, high-quality design projects demonstrating your creativity and skills. For beginners, pro bono or concept work is better than no work.
- Showcase your process
Exhibit photographs, sketches, and samples to showcase your creative thinking and process for each project. Employers like to see how you solve design problems.
- Pick an engaging theme
Use a simple, clean theme that allows your work to be the focus. Include minimal text, with descriptions highlighting your responsibilities and the challenges you overcame.
- Make it visual
As a designer, your portfolio must be highly visual. Prioritize images of your designs and layouts. Only include as much text as needed to describe each project briefly.
- Consider entry-level roles
For beginners, a great way to gain experience is by taking an entry-level role at a design firm. You can learn from experienced designers, work with corporate clients, and add those projects to your portfolio.
- Intern when possible
Internships provide valuable experience that also bolsters your portfolio. Look for positions at agencies, studios, and in-house design departments. Even unpaid internships can be worth your time to kickstart your career.
Check out the Top 10 UI UX Design Examples to get inspired from to build your portfolio!
Look for Internships/Entry-Level Job Opportunities
When job hunting, be active on LinkedIn, Internshala, Monster, and ZipRecruiter sites. Also, contact companies that interest you, and consider jobs where you can gain experience. You can progress to a senior graphic designer role with time and continuous skill development.
With a strong portfolio, you are ready to apply for junior graphic designer jobs at companies like:
- Design agencies and studios
These businesses specialize in graphic design and hire designers of all levels. They offer opportunities for mentorship and career growth in branding, marketing, UX design, and more.
- In-house design teams
Many companies have their own in-house creative teams that handle tasks like product packaging, marketing materials, website design, and brand assets. In-house roles provide stability but can be more limited in scope.
Startups often need graphic designers but have smaller teams, allowing you to take on more responsibility.
- Publisher media
Magazine, website, and marketing publishers hire designers for layouts, ads, and multimedia editorial content. These fast-paced roles are perfect for recent graduates looking to build experience.
Nonprofits frequently need graphic designers for newsletters, social media, websites, and promotional campaigns. Nonprofit work is rewarding and provides experience, although often low or as pro bono pay.
Prepare UX Designer Interview Questions to increase your chances of clearing the interview with flying colors!
Continuously Learn and Improve Your Skills
Technology and trends in graphic design are constantly changing. To stay competitive as a graphic designer, commit to lifelong learning.
- Stay up-to-date with software and tools
Adobe releases frequent updates to Creative Cloud. Learn the newest features to improve your productivity and workflow. Also, explore new tools for animation, image editing, fonts, etc.
- Develop specialty skills
Specialize in areas like UI/UX design, mobile app design, 3D modeling, or motion graphics to open up more career opportunities.
- Follow design trends
Pay attention to the latest trends in layouts, color schemes, typography, photography, and styles favored by brands. Incorporate relevant trends into your work.
- Take additional courses
Enroll in online courses like Advanced Certification in UI UX to strengthen your skills and get trained by industry experts.
- Find a mentor
Seek out a mentor working in your desired graphic design field. Meet with them to get feedback on your work, advice for career progression, and guidance on best practices.
Consider Freelancing or Contract Work
For some graphic designers, freelancing or contract work is an appealing alternative or supplement to a full-time job. As a freelance designer, you can:
- Gain more control over your working hours and schedule. Set your own deadlines and availability.
- Increase your pay over time. As you build your client base and experience, you can raise your rates, often higher than salary increments at a single job.
- Expand your experience. Work with multiple clients in different industries to strengthen your portfolio and exposure.
- Focus on work you enjoy. Be more selective about the types of projects you accept based on your interests and strengths.
Future for Graphic Designers
The future for graphic designers is exciting and promising, as the demand for visual communication continues to grow across various industries. As technology advances, graphic designers will need to adapt to new tools and techniques to stay relevant in the industry.
Here are some potential trends and developments that could shape the future of graphic design:
- Emphasis on User Experience Design
In the future, there will be a greater emphasis on user experience (UX) design, which involves creating designs that are intuitive and easy to use for the end-user. UX design requires a combination of design, research, and psychology skills, and graphic designers who specialize in UX design will be in high demand.
- Integration of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
As AR and VR technologies become more accessible, graphic designers must develop skills in creating immersive and interactive designs that work seamlessly with these technologies.
Becoming a graphic designer takes time, dedication, and practice. But for those with a creative flair, it can lead to an exciting and prosperous career. Follow the steps above to develop your talent, build a strong portfolio, land your first job or freelance gig, and commit to lifelong learning so you can grow into the role of a masterful designer. The journey may not always be easy, but a career doing what you love is worth the effort.

Dir- Stuart Rosenberg
One horrifying night the Defeo's were brutally murdered by a family member who claimed the devil made him do it. Shortly after a newly married couple and their children move into the spacious Long Island house for a what seems like the steal of a deal. The events that follow would make one home the most terrifying place in the country. The best-selling novel by Jay Anson is told in shocking detail as the events of the Lutz family one month stay are portrayed. The house is filled with evil and soon takes control of the father and daughter as the family discovers the shocking secret. Like the book, the movie was a big hit, and the Long Island house crept into the minds of a whole country that shuttered at the words Amityville. Although the events have now been proven to be a big hoax, the movie is still a creepy film and has plenty of scares in it. James Brolin and Margot Kidder highlight the stellar cast, but the real star was the Dutch Colonial home with the "Evil Eye" that just made the home look even more sinister. Followed by an army of sequels and a remake, the Amityville Horror would emerge as one of the dominant horror franchises of the 1980's. Pay close attention to Jody, and no it's not the little girl's name!

Our Photo Booth is modern, sleek and open air with superior photo quality. While we do feel the brand could also emulate those same attributes of modern, sleek, sophisticated we chose the name Mood Booth and have been working with the tag "what's your mood" b/c we believe it has playful and fun executions. We have thought about making our website "mood" change when you come back to it and possibly use emoticons or iconography to convey various "moods" in our booth. I think it's important to provide this information b/c modern, sleek and sophisticated could be very opposite playful and fun - hence why we are reaching out to various designers b/c we believe they can help us solve that conundrum!
