![]() ![]() Since it was first launched, EmojiTranslate has appeared in the news, usage has grown as more devices began supporting emojis, input capabilities expanded, and interest in translating full. We power thousands of translations daily for many smiling users around the world. Several studies regarding emoji have been conducted, including one that suggested that including emojis in work emails actually makes you seem less powerful in your career.Īnother study suggested that using the infamous eggplant emoji is actually a major turnoff when it comes to dating. EmojiTranslate translates texts to Emojis in over a hundred languages. The official list of “canceled” emojis includes: A survey of 2,000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use a thumbs-up or heart emoji. I use heart emojis for things like when someone says ‘I got a new kitten,’ or ‘Susie did a really great job,'” added another.īut the heart too may be falling out of fashion. “I actually find a heart emoji weird for work messages. “To me, the heart is reserved for friends and family, and has a more intimate meaning of love, while thumbs-up is just simple agreeing,” commented one person. On Reddit, some were less offended by the thumbs-up emoji but felt the heart symbol was actually the most inappropriate. Across the board, people want to know they’ve been heard and emojis do not convey that for everybody.” “It can differ from generation to generation. “ can be interpreted as disrespectful,” Swann told The Post. Lifestyle and etiquette expert Elaine Swann - who has done corporate training on the matter - advises the avoidance of emojis all around in the professional world, if only to avoid misinterpretation. Several Reddit users agreed with the decision to cancel the emoji, saying that using it in a work environment makes the team members “unaccommodating” and seem “unfriendly.” “If I took the time out to write a thoughtful message, then you shouldn’t be responding with the bare minimum. “We’re people and we have words to use,” Kim Law, a 25-year-old social worker from Massapequa, told The Post. Instead, Gen Zers said they’d prefer a typed-out response. Much-requested pink heart emoji, more symbols coming to smartphones One Reddit user noted that the thumbs-up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing add and I hope and pray … all the bazillion people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.” Others complained that it comes across as dismissive. “Took me a bit to adjust and get out of my head that it means they’re mad at me.” “Everyone my age in the office doesn’t do it, but the gen X people always do it,” they wrote. One anonymous office worker chalked it up to a “generational communication culture difference.” Several Gen Zers have officially canceled the thumbs-up emoji after it was deemed passive-aggressive. He said he only used it to communicate with boomers like his parents or older colleagues. “I only use it sarcastically, though sometimes I’m not even sure if the irony comes across,” Barry Kennedy, 24, told The Post. Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jest. Older workers appeared flummoxed by the reaction, noting they use the thumbs-up in work-related chats to signal “I approve” or “I understood and will obey.” “So I also had a weird time adjusting because my workplace is the same.” “It’s super rude if someone just sends you a thumbs up,” they added. “For younger people, the thumbs-up emoji is used to be really passive-aggressive,” a 24-year-old Redditor wrote. Gen Zers are calling out the popular thumbs-up emoji for being “rude” and “hostile,” even saying they feel attacked whenever they see it used in the workplace.Īfter a Reddit poster confessed to being “not adult enough to be comfortable with the thumbs-up emoji reaction,” others chimed in to agree and to call out other common emojis such as the red heart.

Reducing sampling rate and manage a decent ASIO buffer (windows only) avoid audio issues, as explained in our optimisation guide. (Ex: Anti-Virus Scan, Communication software…) Tips: Always think to disable third-party applications on your computer when mixing. When CPU audio thread is too high, DJUCED can slow down the interface to recover some processing. This is why other applications may cause CPU spikes in DJUCED’s CPU meter.Īnother reason for different values in Activity Monitor or Task Manager is the system CPU meters normally show 100% per core/CPU.įor example 200% CPU load on the system meter of a quad-core machine means half of the computer’s processing power is in use.ĭJUCED expects that the audio thread always gets the highest priority and doesn’t get interrupted. Values over 100% are possible when the calculation takes more time than it does to play one audio buffer, and will results with glitches and pops in the audio.ĭJUCED expects that the audio thread will have the highest priority, however the final prioritization of threads is done by the operating system, meaning DJUCED’s processing might get interrupted. This value is then compared to the time it takes to actually play one audio buffer.įor example, a value of 50% on the CPU meter means that DJUCED is processing one audio buffer twice as fast as it takes to play the buffer. To determine the CPU load, DJUCED calculates the time it needs to process one audio buffer. This means you may see a different CPU value when checking Activity Monitor (Mac) or Task Manager (Windows). This Audio CPU meter shows DJUCED’s audio processing load.ĭJUCED’s CPU meter shows the audio processing load but not DJUCED’s overall CPU usage. Be careful, DJUCED sounds now louder, but mixing in the red guarantees saturating or distorted sound. You will now have a professional calibrated audio volume in your decks and master section.

![]() The vain executive officer deflected any blame for his slip-up by suggesting that the fault lay with his superior, Captain Drayton, who, he sarcastically noted, ‘had done a good deal of staff duty had less than the usual deck habit of his period.’įollowing this incident, Mahan served ten months on blockade duty before the Navy Department assigned him to teach seamanship at the Naval Academy, which had been transferred from Annapolis, Maryland, to Newport, Rhode Island, as a wartime precaution. ![]() Suddenly, the Pocahontas slammed into the anchored Union sloop Seminole. Mahan enjoyed studying human emotions and expressions, but as the Pocahontas‘s deck officer that day, he should have been watching the direction in which his ship was drifting. As his vessel moved through the water to join the rest of the flotilla in Port Royal Sound, Lieutenant Mahan became engrossed in observing his superior officer, who was deep in thought over the fate of his defeated brother inside the pulverized fort. Delayed by a storm and mechanical problems, the Pocahontas arrived on the scene after the other ships had pounded the fort into submission. On November 7, 1861, a small Union fleet assaulted Fort Walker at Port Royal, South Carolina, a Confederate stronghold on the edge of Drayton’s hometown that was commanded, as chance would have it, by his brother Thomas. Captain Drayton was familiar with his new junior officer and noted in his diary that Mahan was ‘young enough not to have too fixed ways and is quite clever.’ Drayton, however, had never seen Mahan handle a ship. As a young first lieutenant in 1861, Mahan was named the executive officer of Captain Percival Drayton’s 11-gun USS Pocahontas, and immediately set a dubious standard for his budding career. Naval Academy in 1856, he was involved in numerous maritime mishaps. During a forty-year naval career that began as a midshipman at the U.S. ![]() Mahan’s fear of accidents at sea was not unfounded. From his writings, readers would never have guessed, however, that the renowned champion of the United States Navy hated the sea, and while an active-duty naval officer, lived in constant fear of ocean storms and colliding ships. As the author of numerous articles and books, including the landmark The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660-1783, Alfred Thayer Mahan was widely regarded as a brilliant naval theorist. He was perhaps the most celebrated naval historian of his era, an influential promoter of United States naval and commercial expansion during America’s rise to world power in the late nineteenth century.

They're saying the trial will probably be about three months.īURBANK: Linda Deutsch will be covering the Phil Spector trial for the Associated Press. I mean, he has always been very colorful, as they say.īURBANK: Well, Linda, at least as you are digging in for probably what's going to be a long trial you'll have, you'll have some interesting stuff to look at. I was always fascinated watching, was how he was put together. ![]() It literally looks like he has a tumbleweed on his head. The most outrageous one was a - I don't know how to describe it.īURBANK: I think they're calling it the tumbleweed. Usually his hair is different all the time. He wears frock coats, three-inch high-heel boots. DEUTSCH: If he, if he shows up in the same outfits and the same appearance that he has in pre-trial - and I think he will - this is his style. He'll be something else to watch when you're watching on television.īURBANK: Well, speaking of flamboyant, in the run-up to this trial, Linda, I have seen some - I can only say amazing photos of Phil Spector's get-ups, his wigs and - I mean can you just try to describe his fashion sense for us? And do you think that's going to make this trial like a viewing sensation? And Bruce Cutler was the lawyer in New York who represented John Gotti he's kind of known as a mob lawyer, a very enthusiastic, very flamboyant lawyer in the courtroom. Phil Spector has had three different sets of lawyers, and now he has Bruce Cutler. That's how long it's been, and they had to reconfigure the prosecution team. Two of the prosecutors who were assigned to the case became judges during this period, believe it or not. DEUTSCH: Well, a lot of things have happened in the interim. Why has it been four years to get this thing to trial? This, whatever happened, happened in 2003. It's going to be a very interesting trial because the only one who really knows what happened is Phil Spector, and he says now that he didn't shoot her, that it was in his words an accidental suicide.īURBANK: Well, here we are. And he saw Spector stagger out of the house with a gun in his hand and blood on his hands, looking odd and came up to the car and said to him, I think I killed somebody. the chauffeur who had taken them there was sitting in the limo, waiting for her to come out, and heard a gunshot. We know that they went to the house and we know that at some time before 5:00 a.m. He went to the House of Blues and he met a woman, a very glamorous, gorgeous woman who was working as a hostess, and that was Lana Clarkson. What we have found out since is that Phil Spector had been out going to restaurants and bars in Hollywood. DEUTSCH: It's literally a castle up on a hill, and that a woman was shot there, shot dead. The word came out that Phil Spector, who was a legendary music producer, probably the most influential music producer in the history of music, had been at his castle and. DEUTSCH: Well, it was, you know, the story went worldwide. Can you just take us back to February 3rd of 2003? What happened? Or at least what do we know happened? How are you?īURBANK: I'm doing well, thanks. She also writes for the Associated Press. She's the dean of court reporters in Los Angeles. Joining us now for a preview is Linda Deutsch.

This fragrance intrigued me, because the top notes of the Strawberry, ginger and plum were completely undetectable! The two notes, to me, that come out a lot is the Cacoa absolute and the Coffee! It has a very strong 'mocha' smell to me, almost like a Starbucks shop. But this concern was blown away when I smelled it. But when I had seen this next fragrance had patchouli in it, I was a bit of set. Okay, I hated Reb'l fleur, I thought it was too 'heady' because of the patchouli. (I know because I tried Reb'l Fleur line in the store, the scents are much better than the horrible bottle!) The small 30 ml bottle is already not easy to grasp and handle and you definitely need both hands to use the big ugly bottle. The worst part is the actual bottle which is not only hideous and tacky to look at, but also absolutely inconvenient to use. Like I said - it is fun indeed and it has that coffee scent that I like. I wouldn't have bought it had I tried it before, but I didn't regret this cheap thrill either. It's sweet, it's cozy, it's fun, it's very layerable. I used most of my bottle by playing with layering combos, spraying it over my mask to sanitize it/making it more fun (it's one of my 2020s fun scents), wearing it around the house, running errands or before sleep. The combo with Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT is especially great, as combined with this soft, dreamy, lovely and calm(ing) scent Rebelle softens, feels less sugary-sweet and the beautiful bittersweet coffee-cacao accords just shine over soft woody musk. ![]() It layers particularly well over Narciso Rodriguez scents and Azzedine Alaia's Alaia. It's a little bit too sweet for me on its own but I really like to layer it over woody, musky and less sweet scents. I'm a sucker for coffee scents and I just had to try it out so I blind bought a small bottle just out of curiosity. It's a celebrity fragrance and of course it's a sweet gourmand, but it is different, as it has some really bitter coffee and cacao among the fruity notes - it's sugary, it's fruity (I'm getting strawberry and some general sweet fruitiness) and yet it's deep and balanced by a rather bitter coffee/cacao/patchouli scent. This won't be the most sophisticated nor classiest scent you have smelled - but it is definitely fun. ![]() Thank you for your patience and understanding.įor goods delivered outside of the UK, the consignee (ie the person to whom the consignment is sent) will be the declarant and importer into the country for which the consignment is destined.
