About Slipp has evolved into If you're not ready for Slipp you can still CREATE A GLOSSI. Dear Glossinauts, Since our launch over a year ago, almost 10,000 beautiful Glossies have been created by imaginative, creative and fantastic people just like you. It's been a rewarding journey of discovery and sharing. As we noted in March, we have been compelled to shift our product focus toward enabling everyone to create striking content suited for today’s digital landscape in just minutes. In fact, the numbers here may be surprising: mobile devices are becoming the most common consumption vehicle for over 70% of users in most countries and over 90% in certain ones. Our response? Experience the Slipp format for yourself. To give our full attention and support to Slipp, we have to say goodbye to supporting the Glossi creation tools. Thank you so much for your dazzling creations...and we can’t wait to see what you make next. Interested in becoming a Topic Leader on Slipp? Have any questions?

Trees, Shrubs, and Groundcovers Tolerant of Wet Sites The list shown below includes such plants. Plant roots require oxygen in order to function. Plants cannot tolerate extremely wet sites because soil that is completely full of water has no room for air. Sloped sites are not necessarily well drained. Some sites are wet for extended periods only during spring and fall when rainfall is abundant but evaporation is low. Soil amendments are only effective in relieving soil moisture problems if the entire root zone of the mature planting can be changed.

Digitarina-sovelluksia Erilaisten digitarinoiden tekeminen oppilaitoksissa on nähdäkseni lisääntynyt viime vuosina ja itsekin olen niistä aika monta koulutusta vetänyt. Videokuvaus ja -editointi on minulla pääosin vapaa-aikaan liittyvien matka- ja perhetarinoiden tekemistä. Työn puolesta minua innostavat tällä hetkellä etenkin Adobe Voicen kaltaiset helpot sovellukset, joilla saa visuaalisesti hienoa sisältöä.

Emblematic Group and Mozilla Team Up to Showcase Next Generation of Storytelling on the Web Everything you share on the internet is a story. You read blog posts and watch videos that make you feel connected to people across the world. Virtual Reality has made these experiences even stronger, but it wasn’t available to most people as a storytelling tool, until now. This breakthrough in accessibility comes from VR pioneer and award winning journalist, Nonny de la Peña, who is founder & CEO of the immersive technology company Emblematic Group.
