![]() By showing a random sample of your visitors different versions of your page, you can use data to determine which version of your page converts better. How to test different hero images using A/B testingīecause hero images have prominent placing on your website, it’s important to test out different images to determine which ones drive your conversion objectives, whether it’s reading an article or clicking on a CTA to making a purchase on your site.Ī/B testing is a method of testing websites where 50% of your traffic is shown the original version of your page, and 50% are shown the new variation. The image that they use also demonstrates examples of the travel destinations that they offer. Secret Escapes (a travel deals company) features a CTA front-and-center in their hero image, as well as their value proposition. All of Discovery's pages and articles also feature luscious hero images that showcase the company's high-quality photography. The image itself also conveys the services that Trunk Club offers.ĭiscovery features an animated hero image that directs the user to a video when it's clicked on. Trunk Club clearly communicates their value proposition in their hero image and also includes a CTA. The hero image is also overlayed with the company's tagline and a CTA to search the site for help in your area. TaskRabbit (a company that provides on-demand help for errands) features a hero image with a mother with a newborn that visually communicates the value of the service. Spreadshirt (an ecommerce, print-on-demand t-shirt company) clearly outlines the company's value proposition in its hero image, and features two CTAs directing users towards their main functionality. The image of the desk reinforces the product name, and is clean and pleasing to the eye. It’s noteworthy to point out that sometimes the navigation bar is layered on top of the hero image.ĭesk (a B2B company) features a hero image on their homepage that includes a unique selling point and a form capturing customer information overlaid on top. The perfect hero image is supposed to complement your product images and core offering - that’s very hard to achieve with stock images.īelow are some examples of hero image designs from a variety of companies and industries.Īs you can see, companies employ a number of different ways to direct customers towards conversion goals: inserting a form or a prominent CTA and button. Although using stock images as your featured image could initially be a cheap and quick solution, many times stock photos are cliché and unoriginal. Ask yourself whether or not the image you’ve selected actually adds value.Ensure that your large banner image and video sizes are optimized and that they are hosted on a fast CDN so that they don’t slow down the load time of your page. The effectiveness of hero images is lost if they take too long for the user to load. Based on research done at Google, it’s been shown that increasing page load speeds from 0.4 to 0.9 seconds can reduce traffic by 20%. Be wary of using large images for your hero images, as they may affect loading times, especially on mobile devices.There are a couple of things to be aware of when considering whether or not you want to use hero images on your website. Two things to watch out for when using hero images Hero images on media sites and blogs can also be used to catch the visitors' attention, and draw them into reading the article on the page. Because people are highly visual, having high-quality, fullscreen imagery at the top of your page can help create a positive first impression.Ī hero image can also direct users towards a desired link or call-to-action, or present your business’ value proposition at the top of the webpage. Why use a hero image?Ī hero image, usually a high-quality photo or video, can be a good way to add a personal touch that immediately builds credibility and trust for your brand. A recent web design trend has been to use videos and animations for the hero image rather than static photos. In addition to a high-resolution graphic, a hero image can contain your company’s unique selling point (USP) and a conversion goal, such as a signup form or button to begin shopping. ![]() Sometimes called a “hero header”, it serves as a user’s first glimpse of your company and offering because of its prominent placement towards the top of a webpage that usually extends full-width. A hero image is a website design term used to describe an oversized banner image at the top of a website.

![]() Cozy is not open for lunch on weekdays, so you can’t sneak away from remote work for an hour to enjoy the salad, but it does run a totally reasonable $18 during weekend brunch. ![]() The hippie salad at Williamsburg’s Cozy Royale nails this with a generous amount of crispy fried chickpeas that add a welcome pop of grease to the cheese-covered romaine. Obviously, the element that helps any great salad stand apart is the crunchy bits. It’s true that many Big-Ass Salads benefit from an oversize portion of protein, but it’s hardly necessary. Is the combination good? I will never know because I instead ordered mine with a huge pile of crackly chopped fried chicken on top, and I can’t imagine eating this particular BAS any other way. And while I have not yet gotten the chance to start a weekend with its brunch-only lobster Cobb, I can’t imagine it would be bad with a Bloody Mary on the side.Ĭhilled lobster can also be had atop the baan salad - a mix of fried red-curry rice, avocado, romaine, and watercress, plus cilantro with the stems intact for extra crunch - at Thai Diner. This salad stands out, with a confetti of minced salami and sun-dried tomatoes that get trapped with cucumber chunks and chickpeas into the ridges of shredded lettuce. Most of the restaurant’s lunch menu is what you might term “country-club adjacent” ($15 pigs in a blanket, a $24 turkey club). Take the chopped salad at American Bar in the West Village as an example. At their very best, restaurant salads are not merely meal salads, they are true Big-Ass Salads, each component of which has been carefully chosen to work within the service of the greater good. But a main-course salad at a restaurant is something else entirely, like the difference between chugging down a paper cup of office coffee from a pod and sipping a fresh-made latte out of a porcelain mug. ![]() When you eat a salad at work, it feels like work. The strange thing is, the meal salad can be even more offensive, cramming a rainbow of produce into a plastic clamshell and transforming it into a pile of chopped slop that mostly exists to help office drones power through their afternoons. The first option, typically an accessory to something else, can sometimes feel like it’s relegating greens to an unnecessarily subservient role. There are two types of salads in this world: sides and mains. ![]() Save and share your most effective effects.Streamlined interface with the addition of innovative Grid and Effect buttons.Available as a standalone app or plugin package for other application hosts.Take complete control over image editing.Support for advanced filters, adjustments, and multi-layered compositions.All of the popular Topaz products rolled into one powerful image editor.On the far left are floating properties tabs for all currently used filters, tools, effects, and layers. Immediately on the left side of the large canvas area is the black icon shortcut bar for loading recent, favorite, new, and featured image files, while on the right side is the black shortcut icon bar for most commonly used editing tools. For example, the Filter search tool has a much larger footprint than it is usual for this app type, with large real-time effect thumbnails for each found filter. The user interface of the tool is darker than many other similar, but it is pleasing to the eye and has some unique features. The app supports image format association, image format conversion, and streamlined export options. The entire installation procedure is easy and fast, and after the app is deployed on your home or work desktop/laptop you can instantly start working on editing your images. ![]() Topaz Studio is distributed online via a small internet-enabled package that will download the majority of the app after you start the installation procedure. In addition to the standalone purchase, TopazLabs also offers a unique offer for Creator Bundle, which bundles several of its most popular apps for a lower price. However, you can also test it for free via Trial download. Topaz Studio is a premium app for which you will need to purchase a one-time lifetime license. This means that the tool has built-in support of not only full versions of their famous AI Gigapixel and Sharpen AI tools that can dramatically upscale your small photos without data loss and denoise your blurry pictures, but also many other tools such as Mask AI, Adjust AI, Denoise AI, and others. The app also takes full advantage of other powerful AI and machine learning tools produced by developers at TopazLabs. The app features hundreds of one-click effects, powerful masking and blending tools, automatic lens correction, free adjustment tools, and much more. ![]() The creative toolbox of the software is accompanied by the streamlined user interface that features the fast discovery of editing tools, easy access to numerous filters, and easy management of image layers. In addition to being distributed as a standalone photo editing app, the app can also be installed as a plugin for other host applications such as Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, and others. If your workload is already focused on some other photo editing app, Topaz Studio for macOS can still help you there. It can manage everything from simple image format conversion to the full-blown photo editing and compositing that is required in professional workloads. With built-in support for modern filters, powerful selection and masking interface, and support for fully non-destructive layers for advanced mixing and matching of filters and adjustments, Topaz Studio can be utilized as the only photo editing app on your home or work Mac.

![]() ![]() The village of Murrisk has a quite outstanding location - between the shores of Clew Bay and the majestic mountain of Croagh Patrick, known locally as 'The Reek'. Murrisk viewpoint is located just minutes from the Westport Woods Hotel. The Gull family is also well represented here with the Common Gull, Kittiwake, Blackheaded Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull and Herring Gull all visitors to the beach. Wildlife often spotted here include Waders such as the Snipe, Lapwing and Oystercatcher. It is a Blue Flag Beach and it is one of the rarest wildlife habitats in Europe and in Ireland. The beach is backed by steep cliffs and the land rises steeply to a height of 145 metres at Carrowmore Hill. It extends approximately 800 metres from Carrowmore Quay located in the west to the Bunowen River which divides the beach and Tulin Strand in the east.Ĭarrowmore Strand commands spectacular views of Clare Island, Achill Island and the opposite shore of Clew Bay. It is a machair beach which is low and flat with windswept land plains, set between a rocky outcrop in a small bay off Clew Bay. ![]() Her fleet of ships sailed across the bay displaying the flag with the Motto of the O’Malley Clan: “Terra Marique Putens”, “ Valiant by sea and land”.Ĭarrowmore Strand is a short drive away from the Westport Woods Hotel. On the bay’s shore Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen, resided in Rockfleet Castle. Yoko Ono described it as "a place where we thought we could escape the pressures and spend some undisturbed time together”.Ĭlew Bay was the stronghold of the O’Malley family in the Middle Ages. John Lennon and Yoko Ono owned and stayed on Dorinish Island, a remote island in Clew Bay, which they planned to turn into a hideaway retreat. Many of the hills on land around Clew bay are similar drumlins. They were formed when glaciers reshaped the landscape in the last ice age. The islands in Clew Bay are partly drowned drumlins, which are elongated, steep-sided hills, sometimes described as whale-backed. It possesses a Blue Flag beach and many historical and archaeological sites, making it a must-see island for the visitor willing to take a short ferry ride. Clare Island, the biggest island, guards the entrance of the bay and is home to 130 people. The bay has 365 islands, one for every day of the year. Clew Bay (in Irish: Cuan Mó), is nestled between Croagh Patrick to the south and the Nephin Range mountains of North Mayo, and is one of the most spectacular bays in Ireland. The views of Clew Bay from all over Westport are spectacular. The Westport Woods Hotel is located overlooking the magnificent Clew Bay. The Westport Woods Hotel is on the doorstep of many of these picturesque Discovery Points. In Mayo there are thirty-one Discovery Points on the Wild Atlantic Way. Clew Bay is the largest bay on the bay coast of the Wild Atlantic Way. The Westport Woods Hotel lies on the bay coast of the Wild Atlantic Way which incorporates secluded beaches, indigo waters and sheep-spotted hills. In Mayo the Wild Atlantic Way is a 543 km coastal drive and much of Mayo’s spectacular natural scenery lies along it with the Westport Woods Hotel located ideally on the route. It is a sensational journey of soaring cliffs and buzzing towns and cities, of hidden beaches and epic bays. The Wild Atlantic Way is a 2500 km (1500 miles) driving route, stretching from Malin Head in County Donegal to Kinsale in County Cork along Ireland’s west coast. ![]() Recommendations for submitting bug reports can be found here.

The internal-combustion engine, in addition to being the single largest source of CO 2 emissions, is the leading cause of global noise pollution, which studies have shown to have a similarly corrosive effect on human health. Electric motorcycles, cars, trucks, and vans are legally mandated to replace all internal-combustion-engine (I.C.E.) vehicles in New York, L.A., and other cities by mid-century-a shift that will profoundly alter the acoustic texture of urban life. The electrification of mobility presents humanity with a rare opportunity to reimagine the way cities might sound. Far from blending together into a kind of acoustic ecosystem, city noises tend to compete with one another to be heard-an auditory cage match wherein the loudest sound eventually wins. Other, more aggressive sounds, such as back-up beepers on trucks, have been designed to resist assimilation, because that would diminish their efficacy as audible beacons. The beeping emitted by the new Walk / Don’t Walk signals, which were recently installed on the corners of my block, initially struck me as abrasive now I tune it out. In a 2005 paper, Ellen Covey, a psychologist at the University of Washington, and her co-authors identified these subconscious arbiters of sound and noise as the brain’s “novelty detector neurons.”īut a novel or useful alert can become a meaningless repetitive noise over time. ![]() Familiar and regularly patterned sounds, such as internal-combustion engines and air-conditioners, don’t wake us a new or irregular disturbance stands out, at least at first, amid the sonic clutter. Researchers into the neurobiology of hearing explain this phenomenon in terms of novelty and adaptation. The waking brain performs a similar filtering function in the urban soundscape, ignoring as many of the meaningless noises as possible. The brain must disregard a lot of ordinary metropolitan white noise, while remaining alert to unusual sounds that might be of vital importance. For people trying to sleep in the city that never does, though, all-night listening is mostly a liability. For early humans, who were trying to rest outdoors with predators around, this trait was presumably a lifesaver. Unlike vision, smell, and taste, all of which dim when consciousness shuts down for the night, hearing is a 24/7 operation. ![]() Ergonomic rubber overmold for secure and comfortable handling.Combined with the proper attachment, a drill sands, grinds, polishes.

There is, however, the third movie, in which Hamtaro appears to be really focused on his task to “retrieve” Bijou from the pirate gang. This is the most supported pairing from the fans, but sadly the series never offers a proper conclusion. Hamtaro is too dense and never really officially reciprocates Bijou’s feelings. Hamtaro often sees her as his “best friend”, but multiple media and merchandise like to picture the two together, sometimes even in clearly couple situations, for obvious reasons, as they’re both the main characters of the series. Hamtaro X Bijou is heavily supported by fans of the series, beating most of the other ships in the series, including Boss X Bijou. In Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak, they are said to be an actual couple, but Hamtaro seems to be confused when it is mentioned by others. Hamtaro () is a male hamster and the main character of the Hamtaro franchise. Although he cares about Bijou and considers her a very close friend, he doesn't notice her crush on him, and his feelings for her remain purely platonic. For other uses of Hamtaro, see Hamtaro (disambiguation). She cries in Hamtaro's shoulders who comforts her and invites the other Ham-Hams to pray for the true Snow Princess.ĭespite their close bond and all of their romantic endeavors, Hamtaro still retains a childish outlook on love. ![]() At the end of the movie, Bijou is rescued, but she reveals she isn't the true Snow Princess. In the movie 4 Bijou is chosen as the Snow Princess, a priestess that has the duty of praying to get the aurora back to the Valley and make it snow! However, some pirates that hate the snow kidnap her before the time arrives, so she has to be saved by Hamtaro and the Ham-Hams. In episode 197, "Bijou’s Love Rival", Bijou is scared that Lapis is going to steal Hamtaro after she kisses him on the cheek, but she’s got it all wrong. In A Valentine Battle!, Bijou competes with Sparkle and Oshare for Hamtaro's love. Before the others arrive, however, Hamtaro and Bijou had a brief romantic walk together. In Satisfied Bijou, they go on another date, and Hamtaro keeps it a secret from the others this time but due to Bijou's struggles, the Ham-Hams find out and show up anyway. In I Want To See You, Bijou!, Hamtaro and Bijou go on a "date" though Hamtaro, misunderstanding the concept, invites all the other Ham-Hams. There are a few more notable cases of Bijou’s crush in the anime series. The crush becomes more obvious after Bijou's Favorite Ribbon, an episode centered around Bijou’s feelings for him. Her crush on him becomes stronger in Come Out, Bijou! after Hamtaro compliments her ribbons. In the first episode, Bijou winks at Hamtaro after he sings and dances for her with Oxnard and Boss. Bijou has a crush on Hamtaro, but he is completely clueless about it. |
