![]() Images from websites can be saved to the microSD card and then emailed or sent by MMS. The pop-up page overview concept has been borrowed from Nokia's S60 browser, too here called Mini Page, it gives you an idea of what's on the page. Internet browsing is similarly boosted, with a choice of PC-like, full-size or reformated to Sidekick screen-size browsing. Over and above the standard chat functionality, you're able to create and join group chats, set custom status messages, search for friends in a buddy list and see who is logged into IM to immediately start a conversation. Messaging is the Sidekick 2008's strong feature, though, and the company has taken the opportunity to further tweak the IM experience. However there's not much flexibility in the settings, and we particularly missed white balance options considering there's no built-in flash. Thanks to the horizontal orientation, taking pictures is pretty much similar to holding a conventional digital camera. Round the back, the 2008 sports a two-megapixel camera for photos or video. Speed is fair, though it can lag if you have a particularly well-packed contacts list and lots of media. New to the OS is Quick Find, which is a cross-app search tool replacing all the individual search functions. Sometimes we would over-roll and skip over the menu selection we were aiming for it felt more accurate, if slower, using the D-pad. The trackball navigation is not so successful, however, and feels a little imprecise. A combination of great texturing and just the right amount of spacing adds up to very comfortable texting. The QWERTY keyboard has always been the Sidekick's not-so-secret weapon, and the 2008 is no different. Even with the pop-off casings, though, we didn't experience creaks or undue flexing, leaving us confident about the 2008's build quality. Submit a photo or other image at pay $14.99 (or $9.99 each if you order two) and you'll never confuse your Sidekick for anybody else's. T-Mobile went a little bit further this time by allowing users to customize their own shell design online. ![]() Many Sidekick users will be happy to find that the Sidekick 2008's shell is swappable like the early Sidekick iD. Manufactured by Sharp, the LCD backlight is strong and surprisingly resistant to sun glare. We found it a lot easier to nudge the screen up compared to the Sidekick LX, and seasoned users will have no problem popping it out using just one hand. The Sidekick 2008 has the traditional screen hinge too a little nudge to the corner of the screen pushes the display panel up and around to sit above the QWERTY keyboard. It's now just 2.6-inches, but it keeps the same WQVGA 400 x 240 resolutions as the Sidekick LX. Smaller than earlier models, measuring 4.7 x 2.3 x 0.7-inches and weighing 5.3oz, which means the display has had to shrink too.

![]() Synergy stems from the Greek word sunergos, meaning “working together.” A simple definition of synergy is “the working together of two things (muscles or drugs, for example) to produce an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.” According to Merriam-Webster, the first known use of “synergy” was in 1632. Let’s look at the origin of three prevalent business buzzwords, according to a 2022 Preply survey of 1,002 in-person and remote U.S. The list of frequently used jargon is extensive. The Origin of Three Popular Pieces of Jargon The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes this negative interpretation of business jargon as “obscure and often pretentious language marked by circumlocutions and long words.” It’s characterized by convoluted phrasing and vague meaning. The second definition of jargon refers to inflated or showy language, often heard in business today. This is the positive or neutral connotation of the word. It’s basically shop talk, the shortcut language used among experts in the same field. ![]() The first, as noted in, defines jargon as “the language, especially the vocabulary, peculiar to a particular trade, profession, or group,” such as legal or scientific jargon. Today, there are two primary definitions of jargon. (In this context, Chaucer referred to jargon as the utterance of birds, or sounds resembling it.) The origin of the term jargon dates back to the Old French word jargoun, meaning “twittering.” According to Maurizio Gotti, author of The Language of Thieves and Vagabonds, one of its earliest recorded uses in the English language was in the 14th century, in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. ![]() So, what exactly is the definition of “jargon,” where did the term originate, and why is our language peppered with so much of it, especially in the business world? Let’s explore. Worst of all, jargon can be distancing and exclusionary because some listeners may not be able to comprehend all the buzzwords coming at them – especially if they come on thick and fast. It may make it more difficult for people to grasp the full meaning behind a message. Excessive use of business jargon can weigh down communication and tax listeners. Have you ever come out of a meeting where a lot of jargon was bandied about, and you weren’t clear what was said? You’re not alone. Now supports simultaneous 32- and 64-bit apps.

Phase 1: I'm planning on having a handful of skeleton archers on the parapets, some strahd zombies burst up behind them, with strahd wearing his animated plate armor.

When I went back, it was gone.Īs for your OS upgrading, if you have applications you love and rely on and can't get upgrades for (like myself and all my pre-Cloud Adobe Creative software), you would be well advised to be cautious.įor example, I have Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection 4. For some reason, Apple seems to move it around and it took me a week to locate it for a simple download (not install). And it can be downloaded from Apple, but you'll have to be patient in your search. Sierra (10.2.x) has been one of the most stable versions of macOS I've seen in years. The cursor gets jerky and the system stutters and stalls even under light CPU loads. ![]() On my 2010 iMac, High Sierra is intolerably slow. Personally, with a Mac your age, I'd steer as far from High Sierra as possible. I use SuperDuper! for my backups, the subsequent process of clean installation and "migrating/copying" is much more straight forward (plus I have more control over it).Īs usual, Honestone is offering sound advice. However, I do not know how "easy" it is going to be for you to do the clean installation, and then "migrate/copy" needed stuff, with a Time Machine backup. Also, if you can down load the Install macOS Sierra file (it will be in your Applications folder), make a copy of it in another location. It would help if you could let us know the exact Mac model you have. Sierra would be a good option, and yes, you need to take an inventory of whatever third party software you have, in case you need upgrades. You would need to get the correct version for the Mac OS you are using. Note that there are different versions of Onyx available, for each different Mac OS. In fact, I will not upgrade to a new Mac OS until there are compatible versions of both of them for the new OS (along with 4 other critical programs that I have). I use it religiously (along with a commercial program entitled Tech Tool Pro). It is rock solid, has been around a long, long time, and has had many positive reviews. However, I much prefer the excellent free software Onyx: CleanMyMac used to be "problematic" (from what I understand), but it seems to have improved. ![]() The LFG system also provides a platform to search for teammates and like-minded players across the Xbox network, filtering users by game and various social preferences. The former, Microsoft's staple voice chat system for Xbox, finally opened communication among all players. The platform also lifted the Xbox Live Gold requirement on Party Chat and Looking for Group (LFG) on Xbox consoles, two popular social features for multiplayer. While all paid Xbox games still require Xbox Live Gold, those with zero-cost entry are entirely free on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. You no longer need to pay the monthly fee on many popular titles, including Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Halo Infinite, and Apex Legends, to name a few. Xbox consoles have required an Xbox Live Gold membership to access online multiplayer since their inception, but changes introduced last April dropped that mandate for free-to-play games. That chiefly includes dropping the Xbox Live Gold requirement on free-to-play multiplayer titles, plus opening multiple social features to all on Xbox. The drastic policy shift changed up a subscription that's gone untouched in years, opening previously paid features to any Xbox console owner. Microsoft rolled out sweeping changes to Xbox Live Gold back in 2021, shaking up the value proposition for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S owners. We also bought the upgrade for Starfield because the Constellation Edition was sent out late.Source: Epic Games (Image credit: Source: Epic Games) With Microsoft Store games, however, everything has worked with one purchase so far. We have often bought games twice, like GTA or RDR2. I think more money doesn’t guarantee anything here.įamily should also ultimately be a temporary problem at best. In an external forum I saw another person who reported this. But someone here in the thread also has the problem with the Premium Edition. Not this time because the Starfield collector’s edition is expensive and Spider-Man and Mario are coming this month. Whereby I had worn a different suit again several My husband thought maybe a refund would help. Unfortunately, the Car Pass Auto does not work here either. I have done the weekly championship, the introduction and the first Builders Cup championship. There is also no indication of the error under Known Issues on the support page so far. I prefer to invest my earned credits in cars that I shouldn’t get for free because I paid for them.īy the way, my children also have this problem. So before every car purchase I now look at the DLC list because selling them is only possible at a loss and hopefully I will still get my DLC content as planned at some point. Of course it’s great that I can at least buy the DLC cars with credits in the game. After the first race I got the VIP bonus and since then it’s always there. The craziest thing is that when I started the game this morning, there was no VIP displayed. I have been getting the VIP bonus for races since today. When I go to the shop in the game, everything says I already own it. But I don’t get the car from today or the other DLC cars. He has all the cars, the VIP flair from the start of the game, the money and everything else that comes with it. My husband bought the upgrade in the store. I ended up here in the forum for a similar reason. Console/PC restarts etc do not solve the issue.

How shamisen are playedĪ shamisen player sits in the seiza position (on the knees, legs folded under) on the floor with the resonator resting on the right thigh and the neck at about a 45-degree angle. To protect the side of the resonator in contact with the performer's plectrum wielding arm, a decorative embroidered cover (dokake) is tied on. A patch of hide (bachigawa) is glued to the soundboard between the bridge and the rim of the resonator frame to help strengthen the kawa against frequent contact with the sharp edge of the plectrum (bachi) used to pluck the strings. At the top end each is wound around a tuning peg, at the other end each is tied to a silk string holder (neo) that loops around the end stub of the neck (nakagosaki) where it exits from the bottom of the resonator and serves as the tailpiece.Ī low bridge (koma) is placed under and held in place by the strings on the top face of the resonator. Three nylon (or, traditionally silk) strings of differing gauges run the length of the instrument. A buzzing effect, also called sawari, is created when this particular string is vibrating. Only the lowest-tuned string actually is in contact with the upper edge of this niche. Secondly, a shallow trough or niche (sawari) is carved across the fingerboard just below the nut. At the point where the neck becomes the pegbox a subtle but important pair of features are in place that contribute to the desired sound of this instrument.įirst, a nut/bridge (kami-goma) made from rolled-up brass runs partially across the neck, so that the two higher-pitched strings pass over it, but not the third string. A pegbox (itogura) with three laterally mounted friction tuning pegs (itomaki) tops the neck. ![]() The long fretless neck (sao) is typically constructed of three joined segments of wood, and can be disassembled for ease of transport. The top and bottom openings of this frame are covered with stretched hides (kawa) of dog or cat skin that are glued to it. The resonator (do) is a square wood frame about four inches deep constructed from four slightly arched slats of wood (usually redwood or Chinese quince). I hope you will discover this “buzzing” sound and enjoy the richness of shamisen music.The shamisen is a spike lute, meaning that the neck passes through the walls and interior of the resonator. The overtones resonate with the 2nd and 3rd (highest) strings, and the whole instrument resonates to produce a more vibrant sound. Sawari is created because the 1st (lowest) string slightly touches a small bump called the sawari-yama at the top of the neck. The word also refers to the instrument’s structure that produces these sounds. Sawari is comprised of overtones that create shamisen’s unique “buzzing” sound and is one of the most important aspects of shamisen music. Most of the strings are made of silk, but recently, more durable strings that are made of nylon were developed. When the strings are plucked with a plectrum, it also strikes the body at the same time and creates a unique percussive sound.ĭifferent types of bridges and plectrums are used to perform various genres. The vibration of the strings is transferred to the body, and the whole instrument resonates. Three strings are strung to the instrument, and a bridge is placed on the body. Shamisen is consist of a drum-like body and a long neck. Shamisen has been one of the most beloved Japanese instruments not only because of its versatility as an accompaniment for songs and jyōruri but its appeal as a virtuosic instrument. In Osaka, Giday ū Tekemoto created a very popular form of jyōruri called gidayū-bushi, which has been performed in puppet theater.Ĭurrently, there are three types of instruments – hosozao (small), chūzao (midsize) and futozao (large) – and various genres were developed to utilize the strengths of each instrument. Shamisen music flourished the most during the mid-Edo period, and many new genres that are still being performed to this day, such as nagauta and jiuta, were born. Since then, shamisen has been used to accompany jyōruri (Japanese ballad drama) as well as shamisen-kumiuta, a genre of songs that are sung while playing the instrument. At first, the instrument was played by biwa (Japanese lute) minstrels but was modified during the early Edo period (1603 – 1867), and the current form of shamisen was created. Shanshin was first introduced to Japan during the Eiroku era (1558 – 1570) of the Muromachi period (1338 – 1573) when it was brought to the port of Sakai City. Here, it was modified to a smaller instrument called sanshin. ![]() The origin of shamisen can be traced back to China’s sanxian, which was brought to Okinawa during the Ming dynasty (1368 – 1644). |
