![]() Don’t worry about any remaining fat and tissue at this point. ![]() Once the butchering duties are finished, thoroughly rinse the hide in more cold water to finish cooling it as quickly as possible. ![]() Let the cased pelt soak in cold water while you finish dressing out the carcass and storing the meat in your refrigerator or freezer. The freshly flayed hide (which is known as a “green” skin) is now cased, or sleeve-pulled, to put the fur on the inside and the flesh on the outside. Use your fingers or a sharp skinning knife to loosen any difficult spots. Strip the skin from the carcass by gently pulling downward toward the rabbit’s head (the motion is somewhat like that used when peeling a banana but a bit more force will be required). To perform this task, simply cut the skin around each hind foot and carefully slit (or tear) the hide inside each leg from hock to anus (be careful not to slice into the meat). Thus hung, the animal is then flayed, which is a term referring to the act of removing the hide from the carcass. Butchering a RabbitĪs most breeders are already aware, once a rabbit has been killed and the head removed, it is suspended by one or both back legs to allow the blood to drain. So take heart: If I can tan pelts, so can you. I’m only a homesteader raising some rabbits to help keep my family supplied with meat and extra cash. You’ll need to practice, practice, practice! However, I’m not a professional furrier. There are no shortcuts to learning this skill. Before I describe in detail how to tan a rabbit hide, bear in mind this important point: No tanning formula is foolproof. The availability, convenient small size, and variable colors, patterns, and textures of rabbit skins make them perfect material for the novice tanner. In fact, you’ll find that your biggest investments in the craft will be your time and energy. You may be surprised to learn, though, that home tanning costs very little and requires a minimum of equipment. You probably know that tanning (which is also called tawing or pickling) is the process of converting a raw hide into leather, thus making the skin more pliable, more durable, and more resistant to water, wear, and decay. In fact, it’s a source of both pride and great satisfaction, since it enables me to create beautiful, useful fur articles from skins that would otherwise have been discarded. I’ve discovered that small pelt tanning isn’t time-consuming, difficult, or expensive. However, unlike most small-scale breeders (who consign their animals’ pelts to compost piles), I also save the hides, tan them, and use the fur to make beautiful hand-sewn items. Like many modern homesteaders, I keep rabbits for meat.

Beyond that, your Loopback device mutes the app audio by default, too. While Dictation is running, MacOS will mute the default output device of your Mac, which results in playback not being audible. Tips and troubleshooting for Dictation Monitoring audio during transcription That’s it! You’ll now have transcribed text in your text editor, ready for you to edit, save, and use. When the audio has finished playing, click the Done button in the Dictation popover to stop transcribing. You can select Start Dictation from the Edit menu, or use the Dictation (microphone) button on supported Apple keyboards. Start audio playback in your media player, then switch to your text editor to enable Dictation. You’re now ready to start your transcription. When your audio is played by QuickTime Player, it’ll be captured by the Loopback audio device (“Transcription Device”), and available for Dictation to use that audio to write text in TextEdit. The last piece of setup is to prepare your media player to play your audio file source. The easiest option is TextEdit, the text editor bundled with MacOS, but any standard text editor is fine. With the Dictation settings configured, you’ll need to use a text editor as a recipient for the text generated by Dictation. The previously created “Transcription Device” is now being used for Dictation. Click on it, and then head to the Dictation section.Ĭhange the Microphone source setting, to select the virtual device created in the previous step.

Since he's moved back to Sweden, he's regained his anonymity, and he loves it. ![]() "After six years of touring and not being home I just needed to take a break," he said. There wasn't much momentum for his third album, either, and after 2003, he took a break. His sophomore album came out in the United States right after the September 11 terrorist attacks and flopped. After "Save Tonight," Cherry caught an unlucky break. He lives in Stockholm, isn't recognized at the grocery store, and spends his free time writing songs and "just hanging out."Ī day in Cherry's life today, though, is simple and calm, he says. ![]() "In Sweden, I get to be a normal guy," he says. "I think people knew me from the video," Cherry says. Cherry played every character: a man readying for a date, a butcher on the street, a truck driver, and a busker. The song came out to little fanfare, and they shot a low-budget music video in black-and-white on the streets of Stockholm. "Save Tonight" was the lead single on Cherry's first album Desireless, released in October 1997 in Sweden, where Cherry was living at the time after a stint in New York City. Twenty years later, "Save Tonight" is a cover-band classic, played in small bars and in a steady rotation on radio stations that play hits from the '90s and, 2000s. And to be fair, though "Save Tonight" feels a little dated today, with its heavy guitar, repetitive chorus, and conspicuous lack of digital production, it's still catchy enough to get stuck in your head for weeks. "Which I guess it kind of is."Įagle-Eye Cherry (real name: Eagle-Eye Cherry) wanted to "create something that would stand the test of time." To this day, he feels like "Save Tonight" is it. ![]() "People point at me and say 'Save Tonight?' like it's my name," he tells GQ. It's been twenty years since Cherry released his first single ever, but he still gets stopped on the street, picked out in crowds. Another time, he was on a cruise ship and his friends forced him on stage when a cover band started that distinctive guitar strumming. Once, he was walking out of a ski rental place in his ski boots, and as he passed through a crowd of people, a live band was playing it. Eagle-Eye Cherry is used to hearing his song by now. ![]() More than a printer - we’re direct mail strategists. We’ve sent billions of mail pieces, have one of the world’s largest digital printing platforms, and provide rapid fulfillment of the highest-quality mail pieces in the industry. Shutterfly Business Solutions knows direct mail inside and out. In this post, Shutterfly Business Solutions will take you through the latest strategies, opportunities, and innovative trends for direct mail marketing in 2023. Like other mediums, direct mail keeps evolving in possibilities and uses. It’s time-proven, affordable, measurable, and highly adaptable. ![]() Be proactive and let direct mail showcase what you can do.New marketing channels frequently emerge, yet, direct mail remains a bedrock of success. Open the discussion about the benefits of direct mail versus email-and when to use each. Without print, getting social and mobile engagements is much more difficult.ĭon’t let digital marketers get away with stealing your customers based on false contrasts. Saying that you only need social and mobile is akin to saying that when you buy a house you only need the upper stories and not the foundation. What they’re overlooking is how social media and mobile marketing relationships get captured in the first place. Many people believe you don’t need direct mail when you have social media and mobile marketing. Direct mail drives social media and online marketing When you’re trying to reach the C-Suite, that’s worth a lot. “They are not only fun, but they get opened!” he says.) While these mailings may have higher price tags, they can also get near 100% open rates. (Palko has used everything from metallic envelopes, lunch bags, packing list pouches and prescription bottles to mail letters. Direct mail offers options like kits, dimensional mail, and unique packaging options that, by their nature, get past the gatekeepers. But beyond writing a compelling subject line, most of them look hokey. There are only so many things you can do to make email look more important. Direct mail can reach high-level decision-makers But with direct mail, you get that content in front of them in a tangible way right out of the gate. Mailers can also include a wide variety of trust-building content not possible (or reasonable) to include in email. B2B decision-makers trust direct mail more than email, especially for high value products and services. There’s a reason businesses are more likely to get lending offers in the mail than they are by email. Certain offers just won’t get traction by email ![]() (Which is why it’s always a good idea to get physical addresses from those on your email lists!)Ħ. This means, even if a customer doesn’t subscribe or unsubscribes from your email list, you can still get in touch with them. Unlike email and text messaging, you don’t have to get a recipient’s permission to send them direct mail. So the next time someone tries to tell you direct mail is dead, remember: 1. The reality is, direct mail remains a critical part of the mix. But that doesn’t mean that customers aren’t responding to direct mail or that this channel is losing its effectiveness. Sure, social media and mobile marketing are on the rise. However, the latest data makes a strong case for printed direct mail. Supporters of digital media will say why drain your marketing budget on direct mail campaigns that nobody reads when you can contact your customers using the channels they prefer - television, social media, and mobile? It’s an age-old debate: direct mail versus email marketing. DocuShare Enterprise Content Management. ![]() A number of staff members have considered him one of the franchise's strongest characters, which has led to debates about reducing the damage of some of his moves or removing together. The character was based on writer Yukio Mishima, with whom he shares a last name. Kazuya Mishima is also present in related series media and other games. Devil Kazuya has often appeared as a separate character in previous installments (excluding Tekken (1994)) prior to becoming part of Kazuya's moveset in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and later games. Kazuya Mishima possesses the Devil Gene, a demonic mutation, which he inherited from his late mother, Kazumi Mishima, which can transform him into a demonic version of himself known as Devil Kazuya ( デビル一八, Debiru Kazuya). Kazuya becomes corrupted in later games, seeking to obtain more power and later eventually comes into conflict with his son Jin Kazama. The son of worldwide conglomerate Mishima Zaibatsu CEO Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya seeks revenge against his father for throwing him off a cliff years earlier. Kazuya Mishima ( Japanese: 三島 一八, Hepburn: Mishima Kazuya) is a fictional character in Bandai Namco's Tekken fighting game series, first featured as the protagonist in the original 1994 game and later became one of the major antagonists and antihero of the series.

Perhaps Facebook’s next step with Home should be developing an app store with tighter controls against counterfeits like this. What is SideNotes SideNotes is an application for making quick notes. It requires 6MB of free space for IPA (iOS) or APK (Android) installation. ![]() This app is compatible with iOS 15.0+ and Android 4.4+. Hoping to profit from people eager to be the first to get Facebook’s new Android launcher, one company calling itself “Facebook Inc” also launched “ Facebook Home” today. SideNotes is a productivity application developed by Apptorium and available for download on the iOS App Store and Android Play Store. In the meantime, a groan-inducing sidenote and PSA. Facebook’s own Mobile page has some 6.1 million likes. It’s likely that Facebook will place announcements on streams to also signal availability, perhaps targeting users of those four Android devices specifically, or perhaps targeting all of its Android users. We’ve already seen a commercial, along with messaging in several of its ad formats like suggested posts and log-out screen ads. In that vein, we’ll have to see what more Facebook does to promote the new app to drum up usage, and interest, going forward. This means that, while Home is still limited in how many people can use it - just the HTC First, along with four other devices (albeit including two handsets from the world’s biggest smartphone maker, Samsung) - and is limited in its functionality ( no ads… yet), if things go to plan for Facebook, this is just the beginning. (Other moves, such as this quiet acquisition of stealth startup Osmeta, point to how this may extend beyond just Android, too.) Home is Facebook’s strongest swing yet at mobile, and points to the company’s ambition to be a platform for all of your communications, ever present, no matter what else you are doing: “ the next version of Facebook,” in the words of CEO Mark Zuckerberg. You can see our full review of how Facebook Home works on the HTC First here. The HTC First will be hitting France and the UK this summer via France Telecom’s Orange and its EE JV in the UK. Home is also coming pre-installed on the HTC First: this has been available on pre-order since April 4 on AT&T, and is officially on sale with AT&T from today (with a little promotional help from Facebook itself). At the time it announced that it would be available on Google Play from today. A sidebar will pop up with all of your notes arranged in a linear fashion.
