![]() ![]() ![]() Here are three additional areas that can also benefit from good empty state design: When applied to empty state design, these principles can be of great benefit to a business-for example, an increase in product satisfaction, and the lowering of abandonment rates. In his book, What Customers Really Want, Scott McKain lays out six guiding principles of great customer experience. This decreases the chances of losing users to competitor products, thus leaving them frustrated or lost. The Benefits of Using Well-designed Empty Statesĭesigning well-thought-out and useful empty state illustrations and screens can help drive product engagement, delight users, and reduce churn. The key to success is to get the users hooked during that critical first 3-7 day period. For ‘decent’ apps, the majority of users retained for 7 days stick around much longer. Users try out a lot of apps but decide which ones they want to ‘stop using’ within the first 3-7 days. This can happen if someone performs a search and the query is empty or there isn’t data available to show (when filtering for a date-range that has no data for example).Īs empty state design receives more attention, UX designers find that there are beneficial outcomes to utilizing them, both from a business and a user experience perspective. No results/No data – No data found UI design occurs when there is nothing to show.Errors – These occur when something goes wrong, or when there are issues such as a mobile phone going offline due to network problems.User cleared – Occurs when users complete actions such as clearing their inbox or task list, and the result is an empty screen.First use – Occurs with a new product or service when there is still nothing to show, such as a new Evernote or Dropbox account.Here are four types of frequently encountered empty states: Here are two examples of good empty state UX designs: For UX designers, taking every opportunity to enhance the user experience and add more value to the business is a good thing.Ī useful empty state will let the user know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what to do about it. These in-between moments provide opportunities to improve the user experience and consequently amplify business opportunities.

![]() ![]() ![]() Props to all the leotards in this series. Beyond the ecchi, there lingers a few mysteries: why is Yota here? What's in the castle? Who are the Karu? What does the jealous god want? Decent reason to read on, to uncover these secrets. I cannot imagine this manga will last to One Piece lengths, so it should be able to propel itself reasonably well. If I were to write a "log line" for this series, it would be "Yota eats sloppy pussy in a strange fantasy world." Such a premise is humorous enough to keep me reading for a little longer. Anyone who might consider reading this should look up its author beforehand to get a sense of what to expect (at least, I always do this), so anyone who reads this and takes offense would necessarily out themselves as an idiot. Point is, Okamoto seems averse to family-friendly concepts. I am not too familiar with Lynn Okamoto I've seen the first few minutes of the episode of Elfen Lied many times in ninth grade, but was always turned off by the remainder, at least back in my "manime" years, and when I did get more into moé and fanservice I would have considered the series to be "too edgy." I read a little bit of Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou, I think in freshman year of college, which has art by a different person, but which is otherwise not unlike what we have here namely, I remember the main girl cumming all over her chair or something, or at least the main guy could smell her cunt-juice during class, something like that. I can definitely see this work being polarizing, and between its rating here and many of the reviews it looks like I'm not wrong (disregarding that many reviews are by people who seem to either not like manga and/or hate the Japanese). Oh, and the girls will die upon reaching adulthood if they haven't lost their virginity because an evil god is tormenting them. This manga reads like a parody of the overdone "isekai" branch of the fantasy genre: Yota is pushed out of a window at school by some weird teru teru bozu-looking monster, wakes up in a fantasy land where human males haven't existed in 3000 years, and has to lay low because all the girls have been cursed to cum their pants when they touch a boy. ![]() Non-pornographic erotic manga are almost always very funny to me, and Parallel Paradise is no exception (okay, actual H is often funny to me as well). Genitals.! It's so wet I can barely see it." Thanks again to our Patrons for making a project like this possible." Whoa. The version I made is much higher resolution and quality. Unfortunately, the rips people have previously put online are of lackluster quality- to the point where it honestly dampens the eroticism. Combine all these factors and suddenly image quality really matters in terms of seeing what’s going on. The artist also tends to draw nipples relatively small, from decently far away. For artistic reasons, there’s often a hazy, messy quality to the foreground. Why? As said before, the sex scenes are intense and sloppy. ![]() While this series is technically available for free on downloading sites, I went ahead and got the ebook version for this project anyway. The sex scenes are as predictable as you’d expect, but there’s enough substance surrounding those scenes to make you care about what’s happening. While the sex scenes themselves are more hardcore than some hentai, the story is still well enough constructed that it still feels like you are reading a real manga. The intensity is actually justified by the story too- since if the hero is too slow to climax it could actually doom the girls to a gooey death. There are liquids flying everywhere and the girls almost look like they are in pain from what seems like a state of permanent orgasm. Not only that, but the sex scenes are often quite graphic. The result is multiple sex scenes per volume. The big difference being that instead of saving the girls with a manufactured pill, our hero has to save them with his cum. It’s basically like the plot in Brynhildr in a sense, in that both stories revolve around saving girls with a mysterious condition from turning into a puddle of goo. Whereas the previous two works kept the ecchi aspects relatively in check, Parallel Paradise goes off the deep end. He’s most famous for Elfen Lied, and his follow-up work Brynhildr in the Darkness was worth reading as well. Parallel Paradise is the current manga being worked on by Lynn Okamoto. ![]() ![]() It is also the first appearance of " Hungarian Rhapsody No. 3/2)", Georges Bizet's Carmen, the Klezmer tune "Chusen Kala Mazel Tov", and " Goodnight, Ladies". The accompanying musical pieces include " Yankee Doodle", Rachmaninoff's " Prelude in C-sharp Minor (Op. This short features no dialogue and consequently its humor relies on a long series of visual gags. Mickey's fight with the piano would be reused and extended seven months later in the cartoon The Jazz Fool. After all you can't expect charm from animated sticks and that is what Mickey Mouse was in his first pictures”. Because of this we could begin to put real feeling and charm into our characterization. “.Our characters were beginning to act & behave like real persons. Walt Disney himself reinforces this idea: Mickey Mouse began interacting within his space in his cartoon world to create a more realistic feel. However, as Mickey Mouse evolved from the silent film era, the cartoons became more intricate. The early Disney cartoons, like Steamboat Willie show many similarities to the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons that preceded them. The short shows more realistic animating. This short is an early example of how the Disney studio's animated shorts became more sophisticated. The short became the most expensive early Disney short, its negative cost being almost $2,500 more than the Steamboat Willie cartoon produced just a year before. It was animated mostly by Ub Iwerks, Walt Disney's first employee who later became known as a “Disney Legend”. It appears in black and white, and the audio was recorded using Pat Powers's cinephone system. The Opry House was the fifth Mickey Mouse cartoon released by Walt Disney Productions. The “Asbestos” stage curtains hits Mickey, causing the stars to fill in and towards the screen, and ends the film. Mickey's interactions are highly stylized in order to capture the essence of what a vaudeville performance should be. The cartoon ends with a humorous fight between Mickey, a piano and a stool. Mickey becomes the star of the show, taking on the multiple roles of a vaudeville star. The band takes over, with a large variety of short gags occurring throughout. Mickey is then faced with a large show goer, who must be deflated in order to fit through the doorway. The cartoon starts with the opening of a theater and Mickey Mouse sweeping and using the broom as an instrument and a dance partner. Acts include his impersonation of a snake charmer, his dressing in drag and performing a belly dance, his caricature of a Hasidic Jew and, for the finale, a piano performance of Hungarian Rhapsody No. Mickey performs a vaudeville show all by himself. It cast Mickey as the owner of a small theater (or opera house according to the title). It was the fifth Mickey Mouse short to be released, the second of that year. The Opry House is a 1929 Mickey Mouse short animated film released by Celebrity Pictures, as part of the Mickey Mouse film series. ![]() ![]() ![]() (See the photo of the pegboard above.)

![]() ![]() ![]() Lightspeed was founded in 2005 in Canada (the company has a dual listing, on New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges), but since then has become a truly global business (organically and, as noted earlier, through masterful acquisitions). The company targets primarily “sophisticated” small and medium-sized businesses, and at the end of Fiscal 2022 (end of March 2022), 63% of the customers represented retail merchants, while 37% represented hospitality businesses. For example, Fiscal 2022 means the period from Q2 2021 to Q1 2022.

Series 3 had been somewhat of a disappointment, a little too self satisfied I suppose, so I'm glad they did something different to refresh it, it was certainly different. I must admit I have been hugely looking forward to this, possibly because I was keen to see how the altered setting would work. The duo must uncover how this devious crime was carried out. Sherlock and Watson land in the late Nineteenth Century to solve the case of Emelia Ricoletti, a bride that killed herself, and then later manages to shoot her husband and bring about the death of Lord Carmichael. ![]() Doesn't matter if they don't however, this one was so good it really was the perfect after-Christmas present. This was the best "Sherlock" I've yet seen and sets an almost impossibly high standard for what may come after this. I'm sure there will be Sherlock-oligists who can pick apart the complexities of the plot, which for sure seemed at times like a read-across from Moffat and Gatiss's other re-creation Dr Who, but let them, they won't spoil it for me. The playing by Cumberbatch, Freeman and Andrew Scott as the three main protagonists was never better. There was humour a-plenty and hosts of references to the Conan-Doyle original, including, if I'm not mistaken, the first time this Sherlock has ever said "Elementary my dear Watson". As ever, the technical aspects of the production were great, I'm a sucker for the multiple camera-angle, 360 degrees perspective, time-freezing, computer graphics and microscopic zoom shots employed. Starting with a Victorian-era impossible murder with an even more impossible murderer, guest appearances by all the previous supporting cast including a massively-bloated Mycroft, surely a homage to Sydney Greenstreet and the return of the master-criminal we've all missed, a premonition of another husband-slaying in a big old house after dark, a recreation of the real Reichenbach Fall climax of yore, an ingenious denouement anticipating female suffrage years later but perhaps the best thing of all was the promise of a new series to come. ![]() The writing really was terrific with a plot that had more ups and downs than a mountain range, more ins and outs than Hampton Court Maze and more twists and turns than a dozen corkscrews, in short it was a triumph. ![]() "The Fall" re-starts next week although it is my least anticipated of the three, while "Luther's" comeback was very good but this dazzlingly brilliant episode was the best thing I've watched this Christmas.
