The way to do that in mainstream country music isn’t to try something new so much as to have the most hit songs, which is probably why the album feels groomed in that direction. (They should be considered more the former than the latter, I suppose, since the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, and their first album was a massive hit.) That photo gives the sense that they consider this, their second album, as a chance to push themselves up to the next level. Lady Antebellum are dressed-up and photographed to look either like superstars or wanna-be superstars on the cover. With the crowd chanting “hey”s, Lady Antebellum proclaim “we’re all stars tonight” and “tonight we’re all in the band”. The song paints a scene of a night on the town, with everyone out to see a rock band, and then puts us both on the stage and in the crowd. One overt attempt at reaching the masses through identification is “Stars Tonight”. That’s the direction Lady Antebellum is coming from, just like Sugarland, Rascal Flatts, and country radio in general. It’s very much a current-day country move, which means also an ‘80s arena-rock move, maybe a ‘70s singer-songwriter move. That “c’mon” at the beginning of the song proves to be a we’re-all-in-the-same-boat move, a call to the audience to acknowledge they have felt exactly what he is singing. It’s about the prototypical on-again/off-again relationship, but there’s a point where we get past relationships, where the song’s narrator admits life is best when things are at their worst: “It’s like I’m just not me / If I can’t be / A sad sad song”. “It’s like I love this pain / A little too much / Love my heart all busted up”, is the sentiment. Opening with a playful “C’mon”, it is all about falling for someone who torments you. The corollary to that lyric is the song “Love This Pain”, probably the catchiest of the album’s up-tempo numbers. Scott sings, “I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all”, a striking line for the awareness shown within a supposed moment of irrationality and desperate passion. ![]() ![]() These are not people drinking to feel no pain. The emphasis seems to be on the little, based on the level of self-analysis in the song. “It’s a quarter after 1 / I’m a little drunk / And I need you now”, Charles Kelley sings, alternating verses with Hillary Scott. Drunk-dialing your ex is apparently something people can relate to. The main reason it stood out from the pack of soft-pop-leaning country ballads of attempted reconciliation is the late-night setting of inebriation. Lady Antebellum’s second album is titled after the song “Need You Now”, a #1 country single last year. ![]() Datacolor Spyder4 (since ArgyllCMS 1.3.6).Datacolor Spyder3 (since ArgyllCMS 1.1.0).Create synthetic ICC profiles with custom primaries, white- and black point as well as tone response for use as working spaces or source profiles in device linking (3D LUT) transforms.Test chart editor: Create charts with any amount and composition of color patches, easy copy & paste from CGATS, CSV files (only tab-delimited) and spreadsheet applications, for profile verification and evaluation.Check display device uniformity via measurements.Corrections can be imported from vendor software or created from measurements if a spectrometer is available.

You’ll need to toggle the box to the off position if it isn’t already and then activate it again. You’ll find a box labeled Play feedback when volume is changed at the bottom of the section. Under the Sound Effects section, you’ll see a list of options and settings. The first step is to open System Settings and look for the Sound icon, which looks like a speaker cone. If the problem seems to be macOS, it’s time to visit settings again. Static problemĪre you hearing random crackling, popping, or other annoying static-like noises coming from your speakers ever since downloading macOS? If you are using external speakers, check their connections and try them on another device, like a smartphone, to make sure it isn’t the wiring. You can stop the problem by uninstalling the Soundflower extension on your Mac. The problem should have been resolved.ĭepending on your setup, you may find this audio problem occurs every time you restart your computer. Switch the output to Internal Speakers or another speaker device of your choice, then try Safari again. If one of those options is Soundflower or something similarly unusual, then that’s a sign that macOS might be using the wrong sound output. If you visit System Settings > Sound, you can check on your Output option, which will likely list several device options for audio output. This problem is typically caused by a strange configuration change that macOS applies to sound output if you have certain software loaded onto your Mac. In this case, the sound will probably work in other browsers like Chrome but not in Safari. If your tests have revealed that sound problems are primarily located in Safari, this may be another settings problem. You may need to spend some time in System Settings to reset any of the customized settings you had before. Keep in mind that a PRAM reset may also change some of your other settings in addition to rebooting your sound. After that, your PRAM should have been reset. During that time, your Mac might restart and you might hear the startup sound play more than once. Keep holding those four keys down for about 20 seconds. If your Mac has an Intel chip and you want to reset its PRAM, begin by restarting your Mac, then immediately press the Option + Command + P + R keys simultaneously. If you’re using an Apple silicon Mac, try shutting it down, waiting a few seconds, then booting it up again. Note that this does not apply to Apple silicon Macs, since they don’t have a way to do this. If the problem is shared across all audio sources, it might be time to reset your parameter random-access memory (PRAM), which Intel-based Macs use to retrieve basic settings for your Mac and connected devices. Try restarting that particular app by selecting it, then choosing the Stop button at the top of Activity Monitor to see if your audio recovers. ![]() ![]() Make sure the arrow next to %CPU is facing down - this will show your most memory-hungry apps at the top. You can check which apps are hogging your memory by opening Activity Monitor, then selecting the %CPU column. First, make sure the problem can’t be narrowed down to any particular app or service. If macOS is randomly cutting out the audio and then restoring it without rhyme or reason, there could be something wrong with how your computer is using memory. This can be one of the most frustrating issues to experience. You should only need to do this once, as macOS should remember your choice. ![]() Pick out your speaker options manually to circumvent this issue. As you may have guessed by now, macOS - especially when it is loaded onto a computer that’s connected to HDMI speaker systems - can get confused about which speaker to automatically pick. In the Output list, you should see options for all these devices, as long as they are connected. “What about my headphones, external speakers, or Apple TV?” you may be asking. This should restore audio to your native Mac speakers. ![]() ![]() Its palm-scanning or cashier-less checkout technology has since been adopted by more than 200 establishments both within and outside the company. In 2020, Amazon launched a biometric payment system using palm recognition. The service is currently only available to residents in mainland China who have fulfilled the mandatory real name verification process, a requirement for using WeChat Pay. The service uses non-contact recognition of both surface-level palm prints and hand veins, ensuring a secure and convenient experience for users, according to Tencent.ĭata encryption technology is used to protect user information, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport said. Once recognised, the ring turns green and the gate opens. Passengers can find the turnstiles marked with a ring logo and place their palms over the scanner. The registration is a one-time process and does not require renewal. They will also have to complete the authorisation process on WeChat. This is due to be extended by 28 stations, with Arup conducted a design review for 9 new stations where the new lines will interchange with existing stations. To enrol, passengers need to register their palm prints on designated machines at metro stations, Tencent said in a statement on Monday. Metro de Santiago is the most extensive metro system in South America. The scanner detects their palm print, triggering an automatic payment directly from their WeChat account. Users who enrol in the palm-recognition service can pay for rides on the Daxing Airport Express Line by hovering their hands over a scanner at designated metro station turnstiles. With a scan of their palm, metro passengers travelling between downtown Beijing and Daxing International Airport can now bypass the hassle of using their phones or cards to pay for their trip.Ĭhinese tech giant Tencent launched the palm-recognition payment feature on Sunday (May 21) via its platform Weixin Pay, known internationally as WeChat Pay. ![]() ![]() They provide an advantage to businesses with high profit margins or considerable vertical integration, while they penalize companies with narrow margins or multiple transacted stages of production. The Effects of a Gross Receipts Taxīecause gross receipts taxes are imposed at intermediate stages of production and do not allow deductions for costs, they are not based on profits or net income (like a corporate income tax) or final consumption (like a well-constructed sales tax). (These limited taxes, however, have far less potential for harmful tax pyramiding, and are closer to functioning as ad valorem excise taxes.) Gross receipts taxes also exist at the municipal and county levels. Nearly all states use gross receipts as a tax base in some context, most commonly for utility and energy companies. Their appeal comes as many states are looking to replace revenue lost by eroding corporate income tax bases and as a way to limit revenue volatility. Gross Receipts Taxes have returned as a revenue option for policymakers after being dismissed for decades as inefficient and unsound tax policy. By the late 1970s, however, gross receipts taxes began to be repealed or struck down as unconstitutional by state courts. ![]() Gross receipts taxes spread during the 1930s, as the Great Depression reduced state property and income tax revenue. In America, the first gross receipts tax was established in 1921 by West Virginia as a “business and occupations privilege” tax. Taxes on gross receipts originated in Europe as early as the 13th century but were later replaced with value-added taxes, which are more stable, more transparent, and less economically harmful. |
