r/Surveying•

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not but I'd like some advice about how one can do a career change, and get into surveying.

I'm UK based, 40 years old, and have spent the last 15 years working in marketing, content, social media, etc. So, possibly the furthest from this line of work you could think of!

I've been toying with the idea of exploring surveying because a few years ago, I worked in a cartographic company and one of my roles was marketing GIS services for them. I then spent a couple of years also working for another consultancy services firm that dealt with land surveying for residential and infrastructure projects around the world. Speaking to some of th

I’m looking for a reputable and talented tattooist or tattoo studio to help calm my nerves for my first tattoo at the ripe old age of 40.

I have a general idea of what I want, it’s lettering with a small visual element like a compass and I have a few references for it.

Since this is my first time, I’m naturally slightly nervous about it, and want to make sure I can maybe have a chat through it with someone and make sure their art style fits with what I’m after.

Am I doing this right? Does anyone know any good places they go to frequently for this? And any advice on how to go about it? Would put this bloke at ease if you could help!

r/Cricket•

I've been playing club cricket in the UK for about 5 years or so, and I don't know if this happens in other countries, but where does the tradition of a 'President's Day friendly fixture' come from? Couldn't find it on Google or anywhere else, but it seems to happen (at least where I am in the Home Counties) quite often across several clubs of several standards, every year.

People really want you to take this day seriously too, no skiving off with family on this Sunday!

I drive 2 days a week to work at Milton Park from Chipping Norton. It might seem like a long distance but WFH meant it was an enjoyable drive, against traffic. Before these accursed cones turned up, I was door-to-door, within an hour.

Now it takes me an hour and a half no matter which route I take and it's shattering me. Today I avoided Yarnton altogether, cut through Glympton and Kidlington and it STILL took me waiting 20 minutes in traffic at Loop Farm Roundabout...

Baffles me what they're doing. A dedicated cycle lane? Connecting to the A40? An extra lane? All at once perhaps?

All due to end in 'Summer 2023', which is delightfully vague.

r/ecommerce•

I'm relatively new to this industry (background in Marketing) and am interested in sponging off as much advice as I can get on Ecommerce. I'd like to know if you guys have any resources you regularly listen to?

My areas of interest are Merchandising and website management angles of ecommerce, but I'd be open to learn and listen to generalist ecommerce as well!

EDIT: Many thanks, everyone!

r/PPC•

I'm quite a newbie to Google Ads so forgive me if I don't explain this very well! Here's the situation.

I have a Google Ads search campaign for an ecommerce website that has a Target CPA bid strategy, that has been set to a limit of let's say £20. There are 6 active ad groups that have inherited from campaign level, this same CPA.

At campaign level, there is a Daily Spend cap of £120 per day, so I know that we will never spend beyond a certain amount every month, and keeps our overall PPC budget in check. In key shopping periods through the year, this could go high or low.

So here's a few questions:

  • Is it best practice to consistently tinker with Target CPA for each ad group, and ma

The early history of cricket is that it was a game that was mostly played by an upper class of society in England and in the colonies and commonwealth territories of the British Raj, such as India and Australia. I can understand how the game became more popular when it was spread to these countries but I am curious about how it changed within its own borders to allow a more working class set of players to play for their country?

An example I can think of off the top of my head is Harold Larwood who was a Yorkshire coal miner, who went on to represent England in the infamous bodyline Ashes series of 1932-33, against Australia. He was probably not the first working class fast bowler to play

Hello everyone! I'm somewhere between a complete noob and Intermediate level user of Premiere Pro and absolutely love working with it. Also, long time lurker of this sub.

I went on a 2-day course in London recently to learn the software, and the bloke there mentioned something about Audio Gains and best practice for it that I thought I'd share here to try and understand the concept better.

He said that at point of importing audio tracks into a timeline or before exporting a final video, one should always check to see whether the audio peaks are getting exceeded past danger levels (the red zone).

If they are even once, the instructions were to right-click the audio track (or all of them
