And there it has stuck, for a little more than a century: even girls continue to be guys. Eventually, at the start of the 20th century, its plural form became even more generic, used predominantly in the US to address or refer to any group of people, regardless of their gender. Then, slowly over the next couple of centuries the word guy widened its meaning to describe any villainous person or man. To this day, Brits enjoy fireworks and bonfires on “Guy Fawkes Day” – which even enjoys its own jaunty rhyme – although the old tradition of children chanting and collecting “a penny for the guy” to pay for the local fireworks party has pretty well disappeared. And so the bomb-plotter’s first name took hold: in towns and villages up and down the country, the eponymous effigy was made from rags and sticks and eventually thrown onto a fire to the community’s ritual delight. Fawkes’s plan failed, and Brits started to commemorate that fateful day – November 5 – by burning effigies of said “Guy” on bonfires. This admission, I think, strengthens the argument for the African origin of the word.” This is surely an intriguing possibility.Ī more popular and much more widely accepted theory is that the word guy originated in England in the early 17th century, as a result of the infamous “Gunpowder Plot.” In a nutshell: a young Catholic soldier named Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and to assassinate King James I in 1605, in an effort to restore a Catholic monarch to the throne. All the etymological dictionaries I consulted have no insight on the origin of “guy” other than to say that it came to global, mainstream English from American English. David Dalby, a well-regarded English linguist known for his Linguasphere Observatory, once made the case that the plural, non-gendered “guys” in English owes etymological debts to the Wolof “gay,” which is also non-gendered and plural. Kperogi, in his book Glocal English: The Changing Face and Forms of Nigerian English in a Global World, “Dr. Something has crested in particular over about the past 10 years.”įirst let’s take a stroll through the origins of the word “guy” – used in both its singular and plural senses. As the linguist John McWhorter explained to The Atlantic in 2018, in a discussion about this very subject: “I think there’s a really serious and welcome reconception of gender lines and relationships between sex and gender going on. We’ve seen substantial changes in our language since then. President Obama used to end his news conferences with “Thanks you guys I appreciate it” – but that was already four years ago (and what a long four years that has been). But how do modern English-speakers – especially female and non-binary folks – respond to that catch-all term used to conveniently and informally address a group of people in the absence of a genderless second person plural in standard English (which German-, Turkish- and Gaelic-speakers, among others, are lucky enough to have in their linguistic toolkits)?Ībout seven years ago Glossophilia published a post called “ Boys will be guys,” which looked at the word guy in all its guises, including how it’s used in the plural to mean “multiple people regardless of their gender.” Admittedly a lighthearted and anecdotal post, it portrayed guys as a perfectly acceptable/accepted term that few objected to at the time. Is “you guys” no longer appropriate to use in our more enlightened gender-neutral speech? It has an undeniably male “twang” to it, that’s for sure.

Our vision of creating an engaging, supportive, diverse, and respectful community is coming to life and thriving. Early results show members with the Open to Work photo frame are receiving 40% more Inmails from recruiters and 20% more messages from the LinkedIn community. Nearly 2.5 million members have adopted the frame, from airline pilots to data analysts. So we launched “Open to Work,” a simple LinkedIn profile photo frame that says just that: you’re looking for your next opportunity. But we know from our data and our conversations with customers that recruiters want to know who is available, communities want to know who to support and members want jobs. For so long, people were told to keep it quiet if they were looking for work. We’ve also set out to redesign not just the LinkedIn experience, but how members find opportunity. Whether you connect to colleagues, customers, mentors, former or current manager, industry influencers, or job seekers - community is the heart of LinkedIn.Īnd today, I couldn’t be more excited to announce we’re redesigning LinkedIn to make your LinkedIn experience easy, inclusive, enjoyable, and most importantly to put the community front and center. And every day on LinkedIn, despite the tough economy, 3 people are hired every minute through the community.Īll of you that share, inspire, help, and hire each day, are what make up LinkedIn. Today we’re seeing members sharing in record numbers, sending hundreds of millions of messages every week, reskilling themselves by consuming more than one million hours of LinkedIn Learning content weekly, and last year alone nearly five billion connections were made across the platform. Since our last major redesign nearly five years ago, LinkedIn has evolved from a place to create your professional profile online and search for others, to an active community of more than 700M professionals worldwide. The replacement of the Inspire 2 will also likely represent the end of the DJI Go 4 app in consumer / prosumer products. Interestingly foldable propellors are also expected. Videos were seen in July, too, and feature wish-lists have suggested it might offer 8K at 75fps (and 4K at 200fps) as well as full collision sensors (we’d say that was pretty much guaranteed) and an improved version of APAS. In September, however, there very much wasn’t an Inspire 3 launch (nor did a ‘Pocket 3’ show up in November, but that isn’t a drone.) Still, some photos and videos of a possible Inspire 3 were leaked as early as April, when an alleged crashed prototype were posted by OsitaLV. Always check and follow the applicable rules wherever you fly.A lot of DJI-watchers this year have been following a roadmap leaked the year before, and it got a lot things about right (‘FPV Mini’ turned out to mean Avata). DJI never collects or shares user data without user consent. All flight locations displayed by the Fly Spots feature are based on voluntarily-shared location tags from SkyPixel users. The Fly Spots feature is currently available only in Mainland China. Transmitted images from the goggles to the app can be sent to a smartphone via cable (USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to lightning).ġ2. This feature is only available when using DJI FPV. The DJI Virtual Flight app currently supports only iOS devices.ġ1. For more information, contact DJI Support.ġ0. If you purchase DJI Care Refresh (2-Year Plan), you will also enjoy an extension of the original warranty by up to two years (extension duration varies by region). DJI Care Refresh (DJI FPV) provides replacements for a small additional cost. DJI Care Refresh (DJI FPV) is a service plan that provides you with greater peace of mind during flight.

Other external devices may also increase the workload of your Mac’s hardware and cause it to emit more heat. Here, we are mostly talking about external display/monitors, as those (especially HD ones) are really taxing on the GPU and CPU, forcing them to work with greater intensity and give off more heat, which leads to the fans turning faster and being louder (as they should in such cases). If you think there’s too much dust inside your Mac, we recommend taking it to a certified Apple technician who can take apart the machine and thoroughly clean its parts.ĭisconnect devices that require heavy GPU use However, this must be done by a professional, so we suggest that you don’t attempt to do it on your own. It will always be more effective to thoroughly clean the different parts of the fan after opening the MacBook. Note, however, that not all of the dust will come out that way, especially if your MacBook is older and has been in use for a long time. You can stop an app from the Activity Monitor by selecting it, clicking the X in the top left, and then clicking on Quit.Īs we mentioned earlier, heavy GPU use is what typically raises the MacBook temperature the most, so it is suggested that you first quit the apps that are using the most GPU. After that, select Memory and then Energy and see the most resource-intensive apps shown there.ĭoing this will help you figure out which app(s) is using the largest amount of system resources – stopping that app should help with reducing the amount of heat that the MacBook emits and, in turn, lower the speed at which the fan is turning. There’s also a GPU column, so pay attention to it as well. Start the Activity Monitor by going to Finder > Applications > Utilities and double-clicking on the Activity Monitor icon.įirst, select CPU and see which of the apps are using the MacBook’s CPU the most. To learn how to reset the NVRAM of your Mac, please, follow the linked page. If it gets bugged, it can also result in the unusual behavior of certain system components, which is why resetting it may be a possible way to fix any fan-related issues. NVRAM is a small amount of virtual memory that stores information about the MacBook’s current settings and state. A simple SMC restart can typically fix any such bugs and bring things back to normal, so we strongly advise you to try restarting your MacBook’s SMC. Sometimes, however, a bug in the Controller can cause some of those components to act in unusual ways. The System Management Controller (SMC) of your MacBook is a system responsible for controlling many different components and aspects of the computer, including the power management and power supply, the keyboard, and the cooling fans. You can also try quitting any CPU-intensive apps and apps that are draining too much battery, as those can also cause the fan of your MacBook to run unusually fast. If your MacBook Pro fan is always running at an unusually high speed and is making a lot of noise, you can try resetting the machine’s SMC and NVRAM/PRAM, like we’ve shown below. Below, we’ve provided several suggestions that may help with this issue, so go ahead and try them until, hopefully, one of them gets the job done. This doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything wrong with the fan, but since, as we said, it’s always working while the computer is on, its components sooner or later start to wear out, which causes the fan to become noisierĭepending on what causes your MacBook’s fan to be noisy or to spin too quickly, there are different things you can do to fix this. For instance, a MacBook that is already several years old and has seen frequent use is expected to start making more noise with its fan. One more thing to factor in is the age of your Mac and, respectively, its fan. Laptops, in general, are known for overheating much more easily compared to desktop computers, and this becomes especially apparent when their GPUsare being used at high intensity since the latter tend to emit lots of heat. As we already mentioned, a possible reason as to why your MacBook fan keeps running could be dust build-up that causes the fan to make too much noise and/or run at higher than usual RPM (revolutions per minute).Īnother possible cause is if something is causing your MacBook to use its GPU (graphics card) with greater intensity than usual. It can also make a justifiable claim to many other inventions including: Iron casting Examinations Spaghetti Fans Porcelain Blast furnaces the Abacus Ship rudders Silk Planetaria Printed books Pasta Kites Paper money Ice cream Wheelbarrows Acupuncture and many more. It seems that direct contacts between ‘Europe’ and ‘China’ were few and it was the Central Asian intermediaries who traded in the strange new inventions from the mysterious East.Ĭhina traditionally lays claim to four great inventions: paper printing gunpowder and the compass. Along the desert Silk Roads between the two great civilizations of the time there must have been the transmission of objects of the greatest value: ideas and inventions. In the case of China, the trade between Rome and China in the Han dynasty is well known and documented. An invention in one place can lead to it being found after a hundred years over a very widespread area. So tracing the first appearance of something is a case of careful detective work. Even so it is quite possible for the same idea to be independently discovered in several places at more or less the same time, greatly complicating any search for the origin. It is only when an invention becomes widely adopted that there is a realistic chance that someone will have written down an accurate account. The first invention of something is by its nature an isolated event and it is unlikely that the initial discovery is faithfully recorded. Working out who invented precisely what and when is a daunting task as contemporaneous records are fragmentary. Needham at Cambridge have discovered that many of the great achievements in science and technology actually originated from China. Up until the 1960s World Civilization was considered to have started in the Middle East and Mediterranean with not much of any consequence elsewhere. Even today, those well-versed with the Chinese abacus can easily calculate at the speed of the modern calculator.Ming dynasty (1368-1644) waterwheel at Lanzhou, Gansu / Photo by Giddens Memorial East Asian Museum, Wikimedia Commons The abacus system in ancient China was an extremely advanced form of calculation. The original position of the suanpan was when all the beads are away from the beam. The extreme right vertical rod signified the ones place subsequently followed by tens, hundreds and thousand places while moving from right to left. When the beads were moved towards the beam, it meant counting them in and moving them away meant not counting their value. The basic calculation involved moving the beads up and down the rods towards and away from the horizontal beam. The suanpan was efficient for all simple and advanced calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square root and cube root. The bottom beads were mainly used for counting decimal and hexadecimal numbers. The beads were usually designed in the shape of a rhombus. There were more than seven rods in the tray and each rod consisted of two beads in the heaven part and five beads in the earth section. The tray was divided into two main sections by a horizontal beam with the top section referred as the heaven while the bottom part is referred as the earth. The basic structure of the ancient Chinese abacus comprised of a tray, which has a height of about 20cms and varying widths. Basic Structure of ancient Chinese abacus Ancient Chinese abacus structure It was during the Ming dynasty that the Chinese abacus spread beyond the Chinese territory and reached Japan. This scroll was painted during the Song dynasty that ruled China from 960-1297 AD. The greatest proof of the use of abacus in ancient China can be derived in the long scroll Along the River During the Qingming Festival painted by Zhang Zeduan, where the suanpan is painted with an account book. Many of the ancient and powerful dynasties in China used the abacus. The abacus in ancient China was also known as the suanpan, its literal meaning being the counting tray.

If you have a south-facing room it can take cooler greys, while a in north facing room that receives little light you may want to consider a grey with warm undertones to keep the space feeling cozy. The first thing to think about is the orientation of the room and how much light it receives. In addition to tone, getting the temperature of the wall color right is also important, particularly if you're planning on painting the walls grey. The high-blacked velvet sofa adds to the cocooning feel while red accents bring essential warmth. 'People are becoming bolder with design choices, often opting for really deep, inky blues and charcoal greys for a dramatic statement that evokes a cocoon-like effect,'ĭark colors can work particularly well in large living rooms with high ceilings as they can bring the space in and help it feel more intimate as demonstrated in this scheme. 'For a moody atmosphere, greys and blues in darker tones are a go-to choice as they create a deep backdrop that really allows your furniture and accessories to sing,' adds adds Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs. So a pale grey would be good if you wanted to make a room look larger, a deep charcoal would make it appear smaller,' says Justyna Korczynska, Senior designer at Crown. 'The paler the tone, the more it will reflect the available light, the darker the tone, the more light it will absorb. When it comes to living room paint ideas, tone is a key factor, as this can have a big impact how a space looks and feels. As I was saying too, London is where the Youthquaker movement started, and I feel like I’m going back to the roots of everything I stand for. I feel like in the UK, that’s where my market is, and for me to go out there and to move with my best friend Peaches Geldof, I just think it’s going to be like a dream come true almost. You did mention that you’re moving to London, right? It was in the center of London where it was going down, and it was a music and fashion movement. It was called the “Youthquaker” movement that was going on in the 60’s, and it featured girls like Jean Shrimpton, Edie Sedgwick and Twiggy. So, how would you describe your personal style? But I realized that there were steps that I needed to take in order to be more inclined in the music I was making. I appreciate it and I was definitely humbled through it, but I wouldn’t do the experience over again to be honest. It was really cool because I just took my connections that I built off modeling and started pulling clothes from the designers and stuff. Tell me how you became the stylist for Elektrik Red.īasically, I was a fashion editor at Persona Magazine, and I was a model before that. So yeah, I just wanted to make that correlation with drugs and music and how it’s helped me.ĭope. That’s why my album is Silver Hill because that was a famous rehab in Connecticut that Edie Sedgwick went to when she was a child. That’s why in my music, with me not doing drugs anymore, I still make references to it because I feel like music is my drug now. But when music came for me, that became my drug. I was numbing feelings, I was a very depressed child, I was very manic and the thing with me and drug use came in like a getaway. What drew you to that lifestyle at the time? I’m kind of open about it because I would really want people in the youth to know how real it is. I’ve experienced cocaine, heroine and ecstasy. I don’t do it now, but when I was younger, I was getting trippy. It was like entering a new world, so with the drug influence I wanted to make music that was kind of psychedelic to elaborate on the drug use I had experienced in my earlier years. I was exposed to it when I was younger, and it was a getaway. Well, I’ve done drugs since I was 16 years old. You mentioned a comparison between Edie’s drug use and yours. I feel like her story is one of the most tragic stories that took place in the 60’s during the pop art movement. I just felt there was a really big connection between my life and her life, in comparison to the drugs and the social scene where everything was based on pop culture. It was a relationship that was under wraps because he left her around the time Andy Warhol kicked her out of The Factory. It’s a crazy story because Bob Dylan and Edie Sedgwick use to date in the 60’s. He was really into Andy Warhol and a lot of classic rock, and his favorite artist was Bob Dylan. The situation with Edie stems from a relationship I was in with a guy who makes music as well. Well to jump back to what you were saying about Edie, how did that love for her and her becoming your muse come into play? I actually prefer Casey Veggie over Lil B. It’s like opening up a new genre of rap and hip-hop.ĭo you feel the same way about Lil B and his movement? Even though they’re rap, they’re being considered as rock and roll. And I just love that they’re really free-spirited and outgoing and they’ve captivated the hipster culture with what they’re doing. The things that they say remind me of the thoughts that go on in my head and that I might tweet from time to time. I love the fact that they’re just straight up twisted. I don’t think it’s a sense of rebellion I think it’s more so people just being who they are and not afraid to be that. They had great stuff going on like Woodstock, and I feel like our generation is headed that way, you know? With all of this viral stuff that’s going on with breakout artists like Odd Future and Lil B, it’s cool that people aren’t afraid to be themselves. Back then, the movement was really based on free love and coming together and music. But as far as my thoughts on rebellion and stuff, I just feel that we’re the modernized 60’s. It was just really cool because with the storyline and with what I was doing, it would be perfect to pay homage to her on her birthday. Well, I didn’t drop the album on 4/20 because of it being the day of marijuana it was a tribute to Edie Sedgwick because she was born on 4/20.
