![]() ![]() 80's (and beyond) King Crimson too often sounds like complexity and studio trickery for its own sake, a very artificial cut-and-paste process of taking the least accessible chord sequences imaginable and jamming over them. It should also be noted that the band, in its last couple of incarnations, has seemingly regarded studio recordings as far less important than live performance. In particular, I'm referring to many of the band's live improvs, which often sparked great ideas for later tracks but that don't often have much value on their own (unless you get off on technical proficiency as an asset in and of itself). It's not that I have anything against the band's endless pioneering (I fully understand that to get to heaven, sometimes you have to go through hell), but that doesn't mean I have to pretend to enjoy all of it. While the band is very often able to perfectly balance accessibility and complexity to stunning effect, the band also often veers too far into the experimental end to be enjoyable or even listenable. Of course, the downside with any great experimental band is that, well, experiments sometimes fail. For the more adventurous amongst us, though, this can lead to some incredibly interesting experiences, and it's worth it to willingly allow one's tastes to expand in order to enjoy the best stuff here. For a "classic" prog lover, who wants their favorite bands to churn out endless clones of early 70's works, this can be a nightmare. Crimson's form of prog, however, tended to incorporate heavy elements of modern classical (sometimes), avantgarde jazz (sometimes), and later heavy elements of New Wave. ![]() ![]() The conception my brain has of prog is the kind of bombastic, "symphonic" prog that makes up stuff like Close to the Edge and the like (including KC's first two albums). The main thing is that, within the prog genre, my tastes naturally gravitate more towards Yes, Genesis or even ELP than KC. That said, appreciating King Crimson took a long time for me. The result is that the band has created some of the most interesting music of the rock era, and has consistently challenged the listener to embrace new ideas and genres. Of all the classic "progressive rock" bands, King Crimson is just about the only one to have understood the term in the literal sense of the word, as opposed to a genre distinction (created by Crimson themselves, of course) whose potential was 95% used up by 1975. ![]() Love them or hate them (and believe me, I do my fair share of both), few bands can (or should) command more of my respect. #BITING THE BULLET LYRICS GROUPLOVE SERIES#King Crimson is not a single band, but rather the name given to a series of bands with one common member (uber-guitarist Robert Fripp, who has only sometimes been the primary creative force of the group).

![]() ![]() While there is likely a lot of information to be learned from the images taken by DART, the world will have to wait to learn whether the deflection was also a success. ![]() The fact that the images stopped transmitting after the target point was reached can only mean that the impact was a success. The last bits of data that came from the DART spacecraft right before impact show that it was on course. Though small, if done far enough away from Earth, a nudge like this could potentially deflect a future asteroid headed towards Earth just enough to prevent an impact. NASA expects the impact to shorten Dimorphos’ orbit by about 1%, or roughly 10 minutes. Prior to the test, Dimorphos orbited Didymos in roughly 16 hours. NASA used the analogy of a golf cart hitting the side of an Egyptian pyramid to convey the relative difference in size between tiny DART and Dimorphos, the smaller of the two asteroids. The point of the DART mission was to test whether it is possible to deflect an asteroid with a kinetic impact – by crashing something into it. The fact that NASA received only a part of the image implies that the shutter took the picture but DART, traveling at around 14,000 miles per hour (22,500 kilometers per hour) was unable to transmit the complete image before impact. The final photo, taken one second before impact, only shows the top slice of an image but this is incredibly exciting. The final image from DART, taken one second before impact, was not able to fully transmit back to Earth. They imply the DART spacecraft was centered on its trajectory to impact Dimorphos at the moment, but it’s also possible the asteroid was slowly rotating relative to the camera. These shadows are interesting because they suggest that the camera aboard the DART spacecraft was seeing Dimorphos directly on but the Sun was at an angle relative to the camera. The second-to-last image, taken two seconds before impact shows the rocky surface of Dimorphos, including small shadows. \ This photo shows the textured and rock-strewn surface of Dimorphos and was taken two seconds before DART crashed into the surface. This meant that the targeting algorithm was fairly accurate and the craft would collide right at the center of Dimorphos. The image taken at 11 seconds before impact and 42 miles (68 kilometers) from Dimorphos shows the asteroid centered in the camera’s field of view. NASA/Johns Hopkins APLĪs the targeting algorithm on DART locked onto Dimorphos, the craft adjusted its flight and began heading towards the smaller of the two asteroids. This image of the moonlet Dimorphos was taken 11 seconds before the DART spacecraft crashed into the asteroid. ![]() ![]() ![]() Allegations in these reviews include poor service, small portions, and customers falling ill after eating at Mentai-Ya’s outlets. This came after Keat Hwee claimed to have found evidence – which he published on a Facebook post (above) – implicating Ishiro as the alleged perpetrator of a fake negative review campaign against both eateries. Last September, Mentai-Ya Japanese Cuisine made headlines when it, along with woodfire-focused restaurant The Social Outcast, sent letters of demand to fusion donburi hawker chain Ishiro, seeking $70,000 and $50,000 respectively in damages, reported Yahoo News Singapore. Wants to move on from Mentai-Ya/Ishiro incident The towkay shares that Mentai-Ya is making a profit, but declines to go into detail. Despite expanding rapidly, he isn’t afraid of being burned again, as he says he’d “made the correct move in identifying the gap in the market” – with business good enough to draw crowds even at “ulu kopitiams”. The hawker reinvested his earnings and went on to open four more stalls over the course of two years, even weathering an alleged negative review smear campaign by a competitor (more on that later). It turned out to be the right decision - despite the pandemic, Mentai-Ya’s first outlet broke even “in four months”. He invested around $30K back then with another partner, who has since parted with the biz on good terms. Keat Hwee opened Mentai-Ya Japanese Cuisine’s first outlet mid-2020 at a Bukit Panjang kopitiam “which was lacking in Japanese food around the area”. “It was do or die and a leap of faith,” he shares. This included donburi drizzled with mentaiko (spicy cod roe) mayonnaise. So he decided to scale down popular dishes from his now-defunct Japanese restaurant and make them more affordable in a hawker setting. My family just couldn’t afford it,” he shares. “I love Japanese food a lot, but it was always luxury food for me as I came from a low-income household. He saw an opportunity to resume his dream of running a Japanese F&B biz (he had cleared part of his debts by then). Then the pandemic struck, and demand for cab rides plummeted. ![]() Wanted to sell “affordable Japanese food that you can eat every day” ![]() ![]()

Choose your image, make sure it’s the correct size and DPI for printing, upload it to our Customizer, and create the size and type of print you’d like. PHOTO RESIZER PROGRAMS SIMILIAR TO ON1 RESIZE DOWNLOADTIF file sent to you (via download link) for your own records and future use. After we’re all done, you will also get the high res. If you are not familiar with Photoshop, or would rather not mess with it, don’t worry! Simply send us the files via the Custom Print Services Page and we can review, edit, and optimize your files for you. So, while megabytes and pixels dimensions are very important, don’t be fooled by a quick up-res while you’re resizing images. This can lead to disappointment or surprises when you finally get your print, and it still looks blurry, or pixilated. PHOTO RESIZER PROGRAMS SIMILIAR TO ON1 RESIZE SOFTWAREBUT, if you BLOAT your file by simply resampling it, the software we use can’t tell the difference between many more “bad pixels” vs. This is in place to warn clients in case they start to size the image TOO BIG for a quality print. It senses the original DPI/pixel dimension of your file and will give you an Excellent, High, Average, or Poor rating. WHY is this important? Primarily, when you upload a file to our website, we have a quality checker/DPI script that runs as you upload your file. Here’s a video demonstrating ON-1 Resize: (Formerly Genuine Fractals) This powerful plug-in actually creates NEW pixels, splitting/creating pixels and giving you a smother transition between the enlarged pixels. Here at Artisan, we like to use ON-1 Resize. See our steps below:ī) As an alternative, you can utilize one of several quality “up-res” tools or plugins. Not only does this require a decent amount of skill, but also time. After each enlargement, you will have to work on the contrast, noise, blur, sharpen effect, and do that until you reach your final file / print size. So, how does one get a better, higher resolution photo from a small original asset? There are (2) main options:Ī) If you are fairly proficient in Photoshop, you can “step-res” – meaning, you enlarge the image / DPI with resample ON – but you do it in small increments. So why won’t it print better? Well, mainly because the color information is still the same, there’s just more of it. Same color, same grain, etc., but you do have MORE pixels. If you resample to 2x the size, the pixel will be split into 4 ½” blocks. Imagine if you would that a pixel measures 1”. In reality, what you are asking the software to do is to pack more pixels in per inch…. So, why not just tell Photoshop to “resample” the image at 300DPI, measuring 24”x16” – easy, right? The original document or image size, in inches, was 6.4” x 4.267” say you want to print this image at 24”x16” – decent size for a print to hang on the wall, right? But at THAT size, the final DPI would drop down to 80DPI (PPI). Our sample file was a decent photo, saved as a JPG. But WHY? Well, this is where we need to take a much closer look down at the pixel level to see what is really going on. ![]() Some people think that an easy workaround to get higher DPI is to simply re-sample the file in Photoshop or Lightroom to get a better/cleaner image. ![]() While we have several blogs dedicated to print size and quality, on occasion we get an inquiry to print an image at a much larger size than the native/original resolution will support.
