Create Blank Mockup Bases To Showcase Your Designs with Adobe Photoshop Retouching Tools


Free Download Create Blank Mockup Bases To Showcase Your Designs with Adobe Photoshop Retouching Tools
In this quick class, I’m going to show you how to take a stock image with existing designs and turn it into a blank canvas that you can use for your own mockups using Adobe Photoshop. So, let me start out by saying that I have ACTUALLY used the methods here in a real life job situation. I once worked on a unique challenge for a children’s brand. They needed to create a catalog for their upcoming collection, but the products weren’t quite ready yet. Since most of their clients found it difficult to visualize the products from drawings, I repurposed photos from their previous collections. By erasing the old designs and replacing them with the new prints, I created a catalog that gave their clients a clear and exciting preview of what was to come. And the line was a success!

Physical and Biological Bases of Life Stability Man, Biota, Environment


Free Download Physical and Biological Bases of Life Stability: Man, Biota, Environment By Professor Dr. Victor G. Gorshkov (auth.)
1995 | 340 Pages | ISBN: 3642850030 | PDF | 23 MB
It is well known that the biochemical processes of life on Earth are maintained by the external solar radiation and can be reduced to the synthesis and decomposition of organic matter. Man has added the synthesis and decomposition of various in dustrial products to these natural processes. On one hand, biological synthesis may only be conducted within the rather narrow margins of parameters of the environ ment, including temperature, humidity, concentrations of the inorganic substances used by life (such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc.) On the other hand, the physical and chemical composition of the environment suffers significant changes during those processes of synthesis and decomposition. The maximum possible rate of such change due to the activity of living beings can exceed the average geophysical rates of change of the environment due to activity ofterrestrial depths and cosmic processes by a factor often thousand. In the absence of a rigid correlation between the biological synthesis and decomposition, the environment would be greatly disturbed within a decade and driven into a state unfit for life. A lifeless Earth, however would suffer similar changes only after about a hundred thousand years. Preservation of the existing state of the environment is only possible with strict equality between the rates of biological synthesis and decomposition, that is, when the biochemical cycles of matter are virtually closed.

UNDERGROUND BASES Subterranean Military Facilities and the Cities Beneath Our Feet


Free Download James Morcan, "UNDERGROUND BASES: Subterranean Military Facilities and the Cities Beneath Our Feet "
English | ISBN: 0473365405 | 2016 | 150 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
What do the world’s superpowers get up to in their secret underground bunkers?UNDERGROUND BASES: Subterranean Military Facilities and the Cities Beneath Our Feet, by novelists, filmmakers and independent researchers James Morcan & Lance Morcan, details confirmed and rumored underground facilities in the United States and around the world. Containing rare photographic evidence throughout as well as little-known quotes from key government figures, it makes a compelling case for there being an enormous hidden world under the Earth’s surface. The Morcans speculate that the covert underground infrastructure may be far bigger than anyone has previously supposed and is likely used for the development of suppressed technologies. Their sources include declassified files, university reports, WikiLeaks’ documents and interviews with ex-military personnel turned whistleblowers who claim to have worked in "cities below ground".UNDERGROUND BASES delivers a vast array of facts and theories that ultimately allows readers to form their own conclusions. The exposé covers everything from: the US Department of Defense’s verified evacuation areas beneath the White House and the Pentagon as well as their acknowledged sites at Mount Weather and Cheyenne Mountain; underground facilities around the world including Russia’s sprawling Mezhgorye complex and Australia’s CIA-managed Pine Gap; the long-forgotten newspaper headlines which reported that Adolf Hitler and senior SS officers may have built a Nazi colony beneath Antarctica after WW2; rumors that human-alien joint ventures are occurring below ground and that kidnapped citizens are being detained in subterranean prisons for illegal medical experimentation such as cloning. Why are the Global Elite spending trillions of dollars of their black budgets to build such vast networks of underground (and undersea and under-ice) sites? Are they simply preparing for emergencies as per official government explanations? Do they believe an Armageddon scenario is imminent? Are they secretly collaborating with extraterrestrials? Or, are they literally creating a breakaway civilization separate to the rest of humanity? To attempt to address these and other questions, UNDERGROUND BASES takes readers on a vicarious journey into miles-deep military bases and other subterranean facilities not known to the general public.

Great Power Competition and Overseas Bases Chinese, Russian, and American Force Posture in the Twenty-First Century


Free Download Andrew Yeo, "Great Power Competition and Overseas Bases: Chinese, Russian, and American Force Posture in the Twenty-First Century"
English | ISBN: 0815740700 | 2024 | 236 pages | PDF | 6 MB
What challenges and risks do Chinese and Russian bases pose to the United States’ military strategy? How do the military postures of great powers interact and with what consequences for regional and global security? This book examines the emerging dynamics of geostrategic competition for overseas military bases and base access. The comparative framework adopted in this volume examines how the geopolitical interests of the United States, China, and Russia and their respective underlying force posture interact in different regions including the Indo-Pacific, Europe, sub-Sahara Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and the Arctic Circle. By exploring the security, political economic, and domestic political dynamics of specific regions, the contributors to this volume reveal varied motivations for overseas military bases and base access among great powers. With analysis on the particular dynamics of overseas bases in major regional theaters, the book offers a valuable window into the nature and scope of the broader "great power competition" underway in the twenty-first century.
