These are some of our favorite healthy dipper ideas. They are so delicious and can be paired with other healthy foods and even salads. These are some of the great bean dips included in our list.īelieve it or not, dips are often one of the easiest things to transition into a plant-based diet. Beans are loaded with fiber and, when blended, give a fabulous creamy texture to veggie dips. One thing that makes a healthy dip really creamy and filling is when it is made with beans. Others like Spinach Artichoke Dip and Blender Salsa use fresh ingredients such as spinach and tomatoes. With the food processor running, slowly add the water and process until smooth. Many like Italian Hummus and Black Bean Dip include beans. In a food processor, pulse the cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, salt, and pepper until combined.

Spice it up: I've used red chilli flakes for just a hint of spice, but you could opt for a hot sauce like tabasco, sriracha, sambal oelek or even chilli crisp.Sun-dried tomatoes come either marinated in oil or dry, and both will work in this recipe. Dry and marinated sun-dried tomatoes both work: I've accented this white bean dip with sun-dried tomatoes, a pantry staple which quickly injects an intensely concentrated tomato flavour with an edge of tart acidity.Most 400g cans of beans will yield about ⅔–¾ cups (160ml–180ml) of aquafaba, which is perfect for this recipe. An important element of this recipe is the addition of aquafaba (bean soaking liquid) to the beans, which gives the dip a light and airy texture. Tinned beans are best: For convenience and the best results, I recommend using canned beans.( ABC Everyday: Hetty Lui McKinnon) Tips: Tinned white beans and sun-dried tomatoes are the main two ingredients of this easy-to-make dip. This white bean and sun-dried tomato dip is highly transportable too, a perfect addition to a picnic or outdoor gathering. Sometimes I will add a bit more water or olive oil to loosen it up and then use it as a buttery vegan sauce for pasta.Use the dip as a base for crispy chickpeas and serve with flatbread.Stir into soup or stews to bulk it up or add depth of flavour.Smear the dip onto a shallow bowl and top with crispy gnocchi (oven-baked or pan-fried), seasonal juicy tomatoes and basil.It's also great as an addition to any salad sandwich. Spread the dip onto bread and top with charred vegetables, sliced tomato or avocado for a textural open-faced sandwich.Serve the dip as a base for charred or roasted vegetables.On the laziest evenings, serve the dip with crudité, store-bought flatbread, cheese, and call it dinner. ( ABC Everyday: Hetty Lui McKinnon) How to make a dip into a meal The key to making a dinner-worthy dip is making sure it's robust enough in texture and flavour to be a main player.

Once you’ve committed to a certain look, finding options that balance curb appeal with functional desires, such as more natural light in certain rooms, becomes an easier journey.įor example, if your home is built in the Tudor style, which features steep pitches and intricate ornamentation, consider windows with classic grids or even decorative detailed glass to bolster the traditional Tudor look and feel. Find your styleĭo research on your home’s style to see what type of window grids will complement its basic architecture. Otherwise, you’ll have your neighbors commenting on your “interesting” style rather than your beautiful new windows. For most homes, it can be helpful to keep the variety of window grid styles to two or fewer, especially if the windows vary in shape. Occasionally, however, the temptation to customize goes a little haywire, and a single façade ends up with far too many different shapes and grid patterns, such as a few traditional colonial grids, some stained glass, blank panes, and more.įor a cohesive aesthetic, less is more and consistency is valued.

After determining if the email address uses the correct format, the service checks if the address exists on a reliable domain and if the inbox accepts incoming mail. All the marketer does is upload a copy of their mailing list, and the service performs an email validation check of all the addresses in the list. Most marketers use a service to verify their lists to avoid these obstacles. ![]() These undeliverable emails hurt the marketer’s sender score, and the marketer may find their business on a block list. When messages aren’t deliverable, those messages may end up in someone’s spam folder or be bounced back to the sender. Marketers use email list validation to ensure that their mailings are delivered to the intended recipients. To prevent most of their messages from ending up in the spam folder and improve email deliverability, marketers need to take care of their mailing lists by performing email address validation regularly. That’s bad news for all marketers and the digital businesses whose marketing campaigns they manage. If you allow it to get too low, your service provider may kick you from their platform. What’s more, they also lower your sender reputation. And the result is always the same: low deliverability and open rates, which, in turn, lead to a worse return on investment from your marketing campaigns.
Backfilling the new_id column so it matches id for all rows in the table. ![]() Now the next part is shaping up the new field to be functionally identical to the primary key. Ruby On Rails notesĪdding the column will work with a simple add_column(: table, :new_id, :bigint, default: 0, null: false) but there is currently no helper function for creating functions and triggers so you’ll need to execute raw SQL. In order to ensure we automatically get id mirrored to new_id for all new records we will use database triggers: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION mirror_table_id_to_new_id()ĮXECUTE PROCEDURE mirror_table_id_to_new_id() Īt this point you can be certain that PostgreSQL will ensure that all new rows that are inserted will have an identical value in both id and new_id fields. Later, when we backfill all values, we can get rid of the default value: ALTER TABLE "table" ADD "new_id" bigint DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL In addition it means that NOT NULL can be added at the metadata level only making the whole thing a very fast change regardless of table size. Since PostgreSQL 11, when a new field with a default value is added, it will be a fast metadata only operation. The default value is there to give us a free NOT NULL constraint. We first set up a new bigint field that is not null and has a default value of 0. However, I made the migration while working on a Ruby on Rails application so I’ve added some notes on how to deal with Rails specific issues along the way.įor reference, this migration was performed on PostgreSQL 13 and Rails 6.1. The bulk of the content is in pure SQL so that it is useful no matter what language and framework you are using since the technique is more about PostgreSQL than anything else.

I do this with a plug‑in called HoRNet AutoGain 2. The very first thing I do when I start a mix is something I learned from Juro ‘Mez’ Davis, which is to bring everything down to ‑18dBFS. You have to make the beat hit hard and then make the vocal fit in with that.’ So now, before I get to the vocals, I get the beat knocking. My natural tendency when doing final mixes would be to focus strongly on the vocal, but a few years ago I assisted Tillie Mann on some sessions (Mann featured in Inside Track in SOS une 2020 issue: and he said: ‘I’ll work on the beat before doing the vocal. ![]() “During recording and rough mixing my focus will very much have been on Polo’s vocal. Video of Polo G - RAPSTAR (Official Video) Beat Focus When I mixed in the guest vocals on Polo’s tracks, it was a matter of matching things level‑wise, and then trying to make everybody feel like they’re in the same place, using reverb.” In the past I’d send dry vocals with effects tracks, but he did not like what was done in some case, so I now send them out fully produced. “I now do the same thing when I send out Polo’s vocals when he is featured on somebody else’s song. And often they came in at the last minute! Many artists are very particular about their vocals, so I can’t touch the vocal production. This is why there are co‑mix credits on a few of the songs. “The other thing is that the guest vocals I was sent were also often pre‑mixed, for example those of Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Roddy Ricch. There were a couple of songs on the album for which my mixes got very involved, and Polo just said, ‘It sound different.’ So I had to go back and pull things back a little bit again. I’m trying to make it hit a little harder, but also not to over‑embellish things. “Essentially, what I’m doing when mixing is trying to beat my rough mix.

When a client leaves Paramount after a vocal session, they want to have something that they can listen to and that sounds good. ![]() My vocal recording template is pretty simple, and it also allows me to do a rough mix very quickly. Recording and mix templates are very different things! But as I mixed more songs, I also created a mix template. I have a vocal recording template, and when I mixed ‘Rapstar’ I thought it was a one‑off. But as I started mixing, I had to expand my working processes. My work still consisted almost entirely of recording. I’d done some mixes on the previous albums, but had not been credited for them. Todd Hurtt says that the expansion of his work on Hall Of Fame to include mixing meant that he “learnt a lot about myself. ![]() I understand why Scheps doesn't use pre fader sends, because then he's getting a copy of his unaffected audio sent to rear buss right? So I def don't want to do that, any insights are welcome thanks in advance.Published September 2021 Learning Process Realized: I think what I can do is route all instruments going to the rear buss to an aux, and that auxes fader will be at 0 so it should respond correctly even when I max out the sends, still not enough, tried turning the input of the compressor up as well, but that doesn't work because it causes me to have to turn the track volumes sent to the rear buss down, which leaves me where I started. This is great, watched a few times, took notes, currently mixing with the template, one issue I'm having is, when my sends to the rear buss are post fader, they don't hit it hard enough, for ex: I'm getting healthy audio levels from my guitars, but since they are turned down to -8, -6, -12, guitar solo turned down to -27, and again, although the faders are turned down, the audio signal I'm getting is just right.īut since post fader sends react to the actual numeric value that the volume faders are set to, I get just a teensy bit of audio signal from my sends, not enough to hit the rear buss hard enough for compressor to react at all.

The input mechanics are primarily point-and-click. The artisan skills include skills such as Cooking, Crafting, Fletching and Smithing. The gathering skills, which include Mining, Fishing, and Woodcutting, allow the player to gather in game resources to use or sell. Combat skills, which are Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic, Prayer, and Hitpoints, allow the player to defeat enemy monsters or other players in certain circumstances. There is a large selection of skills, grouped mainly between three different categories: combat, gathering, and artisan. Users can gain experience points (XP) and level up individual skills, making their playable character more powerful in various ways. ![]() The player controls a single (human) character and can interact with NPCs, objects, and entities in the game world by left-clicking or right-clicking and selecting an option from the object's right-click context menu. The basic mechanics are largely the same as RuneScape on 10 August 2007. It features a persistent world in which players can interact with each other and the environment. Old School RuneScape is an MMORPG with adventure elements. See also: RuneScape § Gameplay In-game screenshot, showing a player in combat with a goblin With GoodTask, I'm able to replicate the GTD workflow that I had grown accustomed to in other apps. It allows me to still get all the benefits of the Reminders app, but in an interface that is much more customizable and feature-rich. While the updated Reminders app brought some really cool features and functionality, I found it missed some things I liked and was also pretty bad on the Windows. When iOS 13 came out and released a much improved Reminders app, I quickly realized I wanted to move back to Reminders (after using other big-name task management apps). MS Exchange -and- iCloud or others, retains that data in the source and adds functionality and features that are important to the task and is also replicated across PC and iOS devices using iCloud and Exchange.įrankly, GoodTask is what “Reminders” should be. GoodTask on the other hand, works seamlessly with multiple sources, i.e. MS Exchange or iCloud, not both) but then pulls that data out of the source and puts it into its own database, removing it from the source. While Things is a great tool, simple yet extensive and works across PC, iOS devices, it only uses one tasks source (i.e. The vast majority of my tasks are work related and my company requires using Microsoft Exchange so the connectivity to Exchange is actually very important. This app is similar to Things but what I like most about it is its seamless connectivity and sync with Exchange & iCloud, not having to use a proprietary and separate sync infrastructure like Things does. I saw this app pop up and liked its simplicity so after researching it closer, I thought I’d try it. I was skeptical of trying yet another task management tool as I went through the gauntlet of task apps a few times, settling in on Things once again. I hope GoodTask will consider adding this. While Wunderlist allows you to print a list of all tasks WITH their subtasks, GoodTask only allows you to print a list of tasks. I use the app to print a hard copy of my current projects for my boss, so we can review them at our weekly meeting. ![]() There is only one place where Wunderlist is superior - in print options. Wunderlist also doesn’t let you hide subtasks as you complete them, something that annoyed me to no end and something I had complained about to the developers, to no avail. It took me a while to figure out how to use the Smart Lists to organize my daily work tasks, but after some experimentation, it works WAY better than Wunderlist’s subtasks and folders. ![]() However, GoodTask lets you test drive the app and I became seriously impressed. In GoodTask, I found something better.įrankly, I was skeptical of the cost - Wunderlist basic WAS free, after all. So I started a long search for a cross-platform replacement with comparable features. Besides losing something in translation, after more than a year, they still haven't released a Windows desktop version. I was a hardcore Wunderlist guy, but then they were sold to Microsoft and the app was morphed and the name changed to To-Do. |
