Apple today announced the release of iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, introducing a brand-new set of Apple Intelligence features that will elevate users' experience with iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and builds on the Today, Apple Intelligence also begins language expansion with localised English support for Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the U.K., giving even more users around the world powerful new ways to use their iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Additional languages, including Chinese, English (India), English (Singapore), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese, will be coming throughout the year, with an initial set arriving in a software update in April. Design Fun, Original Images with Image Playground The Image Playground experience allows users to easily create fun and unique images with concepts like themes, costumes, accessories, and places. Users can add their own text descriptions, and can even create images in the likeness of a family member or friend using photos from their photo library. Image Playground generates images in distinct styles, including Animation - a modern, 3D-animated look - and Illustration, which offers images with simple shapes, clear lines, and colour blocking. The experience is integrated right into Messages, making it easier than ever to create images for conversations, as well as into apps like Freeform, Keynote, and many others. Image Playground is also available as a brand-new dedicated app. Create Genmoji to Fit Any Moment With the power of Apple Intelligence, emoji is taken to the next level with Genmoji, making conversations with family and friends more fun and playful, and opening up entirely new ways to communicate. By simply typing a description into the emoji keyboard, a Genmoji will appear, including multiple options to choose from. With images from their photo library, users can take Genmoji even further by creating one that is inspired by a friend or family member. Personalised Genmoji can be customised with accessories, like a hat or sunglasses, and can reflect themes or activities to make them even more personal and unique. Just like emoji, Genmoji can be added inline to messages, or shared as a sticker or reaction in a Tapback.1 Take Notes to the Next Level with Image Wand The Notes app gets new tools to make note-taking more visual and dynamic. With Image Wand in the tool palette, users can quickly create images in their note using the written or visual context already captured within the note. Image Wand transforms a rough sketch into a polished image by simply circling it. Users can even circle empty space within a note, and Image Wand will gather context from the surrounding area - using on-device generative models to analyse the handwritten or typed text - to create a relevant image that complements the note and makes it more visual. Users can create images with the Animation, Illustration, and an additional Sketch style in Image Wand. Describe Changes in Writing Tools Writing Tools build on the existing options of Rewrite, Proofread, and Summarise with the new ability for users to specify the change they'd like to make, using the new Describe Your Change option. Describe Your Change gives users even more flexibility and control when they'd like to make their writing sound more expressive, such as to add more dynamic action words to their resume or even rewrite a dinner party invitation in the form of a poem, and more. Just like all of the features with Writing Tools, this new Describe Your Change option is available systemwide across Apple and many third-party apps.

If you're anything like me, you probably HATE hearing the phrase, “Something is better than nothing.”As a bit of a perfectionist, I usually focus on getting things done properly. But when you're neck-deep in the chaos of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas campaigns, this mindset can hold you back. So, if you're scrambling to get everything together right now, let's keep it simple. I'm here to give you a straightforward system to get back on track. Execute this plan, get through this season, and then—mark my words—book a call with me at NoSalesBS.com for January. You're way too busy to think long-term right now, but next year, let's make sure you're not stuck in this same frantic cycle. Make a List and Prioritize RuthlesslyWrite down every task you think you need to complete. Then, tackle it in order of importance. Be honest with yourself—if something isn't a deal-breaker, scratch it off. Your list doesn't need to be exhaustive; it needs to be manageable. Use the 80/20 RulePerfectionism has no place here. Focus your energy on the 20% of tasks that will drive 80% of your results. Whether it's your ad copy, campaign visuals, or email sequences, avoid obsessing over minor details. Get it done, not perfect. Proofread with Fresh EyesYou're running on fumes, so it's easy to overlook mistakes. Have someone else proofread your work. It could be a teammate or even your 12-year-old kid—it doesn't matter, as long as they'll catch glaring errors. If no one's available, proofread it yourself backward, word by word. Trust me, this works. Remember: Done is better than perfect - Your campaigns might not look flawless, but your customers need to hear from you—now. If they've forgotten about you since their last purchase, this is your chance to get back on their radar. Even an imperfect campaign is better than silence. So, take a breath, execute the plan, and remember: Something is always better than nothing. And don't forget—when January hits, let's talk. Together, we'll make sure next year's holiday season runs like a well-oiled machine.

Here are some key elements to consider: Portfolio: Like an artist with a portfolio of paintings, developers need a showcase of their work. If you don't have professional experience, include projects from college, boot camps, or personal projects. Make sure to refine these projects, add comments, and polish them to a professional standard. Online Presence: Create a website, LinkedIn profile, or a dedicated page highlighting your skills and projects. Include examples of your work and describe the technologies you used, the problems you solved, and the results you achieved. 2. Creating Example Projects to Win Your First Project If you lack substantial work to showcase, it's time to create example projects. These can be small, self-initiated projects that demonstrate your abilities. Utilize resources like online tutorials and educational series to build these projects. Ensure they are well-documented and polished, as they will represent your capabilities to potential clients. 3. Understanding the Market Winning your first project also involves understanding your target market. Identify the types of clients you want to work with and the problems they need to solve. Tailor your portfolio and online presence to address these needs. Make your offerings clear and concise, avoiding technical jargon that might confuse non-technical clients. 4. Networking and Community Involvement Once your brand is established, it's time to get the word out. Join communities related to your field, such as LinkedIn groups, local meetups, or online forums. Engage in discussions, share your knowledge, and build relationships. Networking can often lead to project opportunities as people become aware of your skills and availability. 5. Presentation and Documentation When you approach potential clients, your presentation matters. Here are some tips for presenting your work effectively: Tailored Proposals: Customize your proposals for each client, highlighting how your skills can address their needs. Use templates to streamline this process but ensure each proposal feels personalized. Proofread and Polish: Ensure all your materials are professionally written and error-free. Use tools like Grammarly or AI writing assistants to check your grammar and clarity. 6. Continuous Improvement and Adaptation After Your First Project Keep track of all your proposals and client feedback. Whether you win or lose a project, the content you generate can be refined and reused. Integrate feedback to improve your proposals and portfolio continuously. 7. Leveraging NDAs and Intellectual Property In some fields, such as healthcare or banking, you may encounter non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that limit what you can showcase. In these cases, focus on the general skills and solutions you've developed rather than specific proprietary details. Highlight your ability to build applications, solve problems, and deliver results without disclosing sensitive information. 8. Practical Steps to Start Here's a quick recap of actionable steps to win your first project: Create and Polish Your Portfolio: Showcase your best work, refine it, and ensure it's well-documented. Establish an Online Presence: Build a professional website or LinkedIn profile to highlight your skills and projects. Understand Your Market: Identify your target clients and tailor your materials to address their needs. Network Actively: Join relevant communities, engage in discussions, and build relationships. Prepare Tailored Proposals: Customize your proposals for each client, focusing on how you can solve their specific problems. Document and Improve: Keep track of your proposals and feedback, and continuously refine your materials. Navigate NDAs: If bound by NDAs, focus on general skills and solutions rather than specific proprietary details. By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to winning your first project and setting the stage for a successful side hustle. Remember, the journey is about building your brand and engaging with your target market. Good luck!

Episode 50 – Experiences of a Witch and Other Listeners' Stories Part 2 Doors began opening and closing by themselves. Loud banging noises were coming from downstairs, as well as the sounds of footsteps from someone who was clearly walking around the rooms below her bedroom … but it was what happen next, that truly frightened her. As clear as any voice she'd ever heard, someone said the name ‘Azazel' ... the name from her nightmares, then, as she continued to talk to the Ouija board, the planchette began to move, rapidly spelling out the same name. Julie completely freaked out and threw the planchette across the room ... but made the huge mistake of not closing the session down ... not saying goodbye, so whatever was now in the house … was staying in the house.

Episode 48 – Tales from the Emergency Services Part Two ‘We let our control room know that we had hit a dead end – and that we would update them further when someone arrived. Not more than two minutes later, a tall slender gentleman, dressed in navy overalls, a tan undershirt and dirty unlaced boots slowly made his way up the stairs. Matt eagerly jumped up to introduce himself to – who seemed to be – the groundskeeper, as I updated our control room that someone had arrived to help …how wrong we were.'

Mastering the Art of the Synopsis Season 3, Episode 5Hello, aspiring authors! It's Beth McMullen and Lisa Schmid, your trusty navigators on the sea of publishing. In our latest episode,we dive deep into a territory that even the bravest writers often fear to tread—the dreaded synopsis.Crafting a compelling synopsis is no less than an art. It's often the first window into your work for agents, publishers, and readers. So how do you distill the essence of your novel into a single page or two? Here's the wisdom we shared in this episode:1. Length and FormatYour synopsis should be concise—about one to two pages, single-spaced. This isn't the place for your narrative to sprawl. Think of it as the elevator pitch of your manuscript.2. Clarity and FocusCut through the clutter. Your synopsis should be a clear, focused narrative that distills your story to its essence. Skip the industry jargon and complex language; simplicity is key.3. The Whole StoryThis isn't a teaser like a back-cover blurb; a synopsis must reveal the entire plot, including how things wrap up. Leaving the ending a mystery in a synopsis is a cardinal sin.4. Main CharactersIntroduce us to your protagonists. Give us a glimpse of their desires, conflicts, and motivations. We should know who they are and what's at stake for them.5. Key Plot PointsWalk us through the milestones of your story. From the inciting incident to the climax and resolution, make sure we understand the journey.6. Emotional and Thematic ArcsHow do your characters grow? What are the broader themes or messages? These elements should be woven into your synopsis to give it depth.7. Unique Selling PointsDoes your book offer something out of the ordinary? Highlight the aspects that make your story stand out.8. Style and ToneYour synopsis should be a reflection of your book's voice. If your novel is humorous, let that humor sparkle in the synopsis too.9. Proofread and EditYour synopsis is a reflection of your writing skills. Make sure it's polished to perfection—no typos, no grammatical errors, just clear and engaging writing.10. Tailor to Your AudienceAre you sending this to an agent or publisher? Tailor your synopsis to fit their submission guidelines and preferences. This shows professionalism and attention to detail.Remember, a synopsis is more than just a summary—it's your chance to showcase your storytelling prowess and hook your reader.

Episode 45 – Something in the Void and Other Listeners' Stories Momentarily he stopped to listen, concentrating to see if he could hear anyone talking. He did this to try and gauge how many people could potentially be in the room ... but it was completely silent. Again, he went to take another step closer, but as he prepared to do so, a chair came flying out of the room. This was then followed by a definite and unmistakable sense of pressure on his shoulders. And so, it couldn't be denied: there was someone or something … lurking in the void.

Episode 44 - Tales from the Emergency Services Part 1 As I crossed the threshold of the doorway, I felt something grip the back of my stab vest just underneath my neck and pull me backwards. The force of the pull was strong enough for me to lose my balance and stumble backwards into the room; however, not enough to make me lose my footing entirely. I turned to face the interior of the room once more ... but still found myself alone. At this point my skin began to crawl, and a fear unlike anything I'd ever experienced before (and have not felt again to this day) started to quickly wash over me … This is episode 44 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and it's time to hear stories from the amazing people who work in the emergency services and the military.

‘Making sure their parents were asleep, the two 17-year-olds quietly left their homes with their tent, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces, and drove to a secluded spot. At around midnight, they'd found the perfect place to camp, so began pitching their tent and getting comfortable. It wasn't long after this that they both thought they heard something moving around in close proximity to their tent … They kept still and quiet, and continued to listen, but this was when the sounds of movement changed into the sounds of very definite footsteps ... there was someone in the forest with them.' This is episode 43 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we'll be paying a visit to one of the strangest locations in England ... Cannock Chase.

Here at the Haunted UK Podcast we have sifted through hundreds of incredible cases of ghost sightings, strange encounters with mysterious creatures, sightings of dark shadow entities, alleged psychic ability, ancient and modern-day curses, eerie premonitions, haunted houses, poltergeist encounters, time slip stories ... the list goes on ... but there's still one topic of the paranormal which we find absolutely fascinating. One topic, which we've never covered. An avenue of the paranormal which is so strange, and so incredibly rare, that when it happens ... attention is drawn to It ... but that attention rarely seems to make the news. Is it because that the majority of people would find these particular stories too unbelievable ... too far outside the boundaries of what is deemed credible? This is episode 42 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we go in search of paranormal firestarters. Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

Over the last few decades, technology has brought almost every corner of our planet to our fingertips. We can ask Alexa what the weather is like in Rome, we can see what the surf is like in Cornwall by logging onto a webcam, and we can even video conference call with loved ones and friends from all over the world on our phones, tablets, Macs and PCs. But whilst all of this technology and connectivity is amazing, the one call or message many millions of us would love to receive will unfortunately never come ... a message or call from a loved one or friend who has passed away. Just to have one last moment ... one final time to hear their voice, or read their words … but this is sadly impossible ... or is it? This is episode 41 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this much called for episode, we'll investigate cases where the dead have seemingly been in touch with the living.
