![]() Howerver because I usually mark emails as "COMPLETE" i'd have to do 2 steps to mark them as complete and then mark them as read. Sometimes I glance at emails and don't have time to determine if FYI or Task based on the lenght. Quick Actions (I have set my inbox to not mark anything as read unless i choose too. Search Folders (See only emails that have been flagged, or unread) Sometimes I use reminders to ping people who are out of vacation and need to follow up on their return) Reminders (e-mails or tasks with deadlines? Add a reminder for when to bring it up again. This allows me to visually see what emails I've missed or scrolled through) Flags / Complete (Any email i need no additional action i mark it with a check mark, anything i need to remember later or need to do, Flag. The most wasted features in Enterprise that would make everyone's life easier is the due to the lack of knowledge and subset of features. Outlook just can't seem to connect and log in when initially setting up some accounts that require manual labor, asking you to re-enter credentials a few times before finally accepting defeat and connecting everything up. ![]() I've experienced the following a few times before it starts magically working for some reason. It can also feel rather bloated when tasked to handle thousands upon thousands of emails from multiple accounts, but that's a case of not effectively managing clutter.Īnd don't get me started on some of the account setup issues. Do you really need to categorize messages? That and the new Ribbon UI system that Microsoft has implemented into the new Office suite isn't to everyone's liking. ![]() The first being the plethora of features that may never be used.

Note: As Microsoft no longer support this application and its packages officially, you will need to use the offline installer as the web installer is now no longer available.

You can download the offline installer for Windows Essential 2012 freely here: Windows 10 Mail is still being developed and while reasonable is far from what your mother would be used to. Given your mothers age it may be a lot simpler to install Windows Essential 2012 on the computer and choose Windows Live Mail during installation. So I found workarounds for everything so far except stationery. I'm not a Win10 user myself (sorry) but I figure out how import her many mailing groups and showed her how to add them to an email without too much pain (in WLM, she would just type the name of the group, now she needs to click the icon at the end of the To: field and type the name of the group), get emoticons from the tablet-mode keyboard (I added the button to the task bar), created a signature that does not involve HTML (we all have to make compromises!), and I showed her how to change the font but it has to be done each time. She's an intense email user, and uses mailing groups a lot, likes to use emoticons, uses a signature, prefers fonts other than the default, and sometimes uses stationery. Win10 Mail is quite simplified, which is a good thing, although any change is a bit challenging/annoying for her. We purchased a Win10-based computer for my mother (80+) who was used to Windows Live Mail on her Windows Vista computer. ![]()
![]() For talking, you would still need to use the cell phone’s built-in mic. Will not work with cell phones, except if you’re just listening and not talking. However, we’ve nearly always found that earbuds that do not include some form of flexible strain relief fail prematurely, and predictably. Perhaps this is not needed, given how flexible the included robbon cables are. The ends of the buds touch the eardrum when fully inserted a rather intimate audio interface to be sure. The iWorld Stealth Earbuds Feature an In-Ear Design ![]() What? You didn’t expect active noise cancellation at this price, did you? Unrealistic Soundįrequency response seems to change as you raise and lower the volume, with the mid range values becoming distorted and harsh as sound levels rise. Not Noise Cancellingīut definitely noise isolating. But for players that would not support this feature, these aren’t a bad alternative. It seems that iWorld could have taken the small extra step of adding two additional buttons for a loudness control to the cord. IWorld Stealth Earbuds Disadvantages, Cons, Problems, and Limitations No Volume Control Non Symmetrical Ear Bud DesignĮach earbud fits equally well into either the left or right ear. This can be distracting and take away from the sounds of realism in the music. However, these earbuds do ring when tapped, and, when listening to thumping bass drums. Precision Tuned Speaker Units in these iWorld Stealth Earbuds Harder to hear imperfections in recorded music due to the curtailed frequency response. The included ear cushions are replaceable too, and these driver units are of a pretty standard size so that the inserts from other iWorld earbud sets fit this set well. Standard equipment with most earbuds these days. Instruction manual and three sizes of ear inserts provided. ![]() Not sure what that means, but they make this claim on the package. You hear little from the outside and the outside hears little of what you’re listening to. So, you hear little noise from the surrounding environment, and those near you do not hear your music. The iWorld Stealth Earbuds Have a Closed Air Design The buds are made of a hard but sound-not-so-neutral plastic, for enhanced durability if not improved audio performance. So accidental and even gentle pulls on the cables can yank these out of the ears quickly. However, the speakers stick out of our ears by a quarter to three eighths of an inch. We’ve seen these in red and white colors. The iWorld Stealth Earbuds are Low Weightįlat, thin and lightweight ribbon cable, which is also long, at nearly four feet from the plug to the buds. These will likely never be damaged in shipment. In the iWorld tradition, the packaging is perhaps even more durable than the product inside. Pretty cheap price for as good as they sound. Features, Benefits, Advantages, and Pros of iWorld Stealth Earbuds Low Priceīought this set for $5. Yet the near-minimum price is low enough that you can break them with abandon, expose them to rain, and just sweat all over them Earphones like these make a great first-pair for the novice listener. The quality here is enough to be widely approved for these specific situations. The reduced bass frequency output eliminates the rumble and hum of cheap grade turntables and amplifiers. Due to reduced high frequency output, these earbuds virtually eliminate the hiss of old reel-to-reel tapes, and the static and rhythmic snapping of aging vinyl records. The drawbacks, in summary, are that these buds may have the worst sounding ear speakers we’ve tested.Īs low-end ear buds though, there are some pronounced advantages. iWorld Stealth Sound Earbuds, Unpackaged, in White Often though, you can find them for less than five dollars at many retail outlets. These feature highly flexible ribbon cables, and, are marketed in the five-dollar earphone niche. In this iWorld earbuds review, we shine the spotlight on the iWorld Stealth Sound Earbuds line of noise isolating, in-ear headphones. You get mid-grade performance at a very low-grade price. They can play quite loudly, fit well in the ear, and stay put once you insert them. While not measuring up to higher-end portable headphones from Koss, Pioneer, Sennheiser, Skullcandy, these iWorld Stealth Sound Earbuds appear reasonably rugged. Joggers and gymnasts who trash earbuds with high frequency, will like the dispose-ability of this audio accessory. They provide acceptable performance for their low price, and this bargain-basement cost makes them easy to pitch upon failure. The Stealth Soundseries is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod players and a large body of smart phones and tablet computers. As is typical for iWorld, they again devised a cheap, reasonably well performing headset for CD and MP3 player users. They refer to these iWorld Stealth Earbuds as Stealth Sound, presumably, because those around you will not hear your music if you’re properly wearing these. ![]() It’s also known as sweet rice flour or glutinous rice flour.

The beholder appears in the revised Monster Manual for the 3.5 edition (2003). Beholder variants appear in Monstrous Compendium: Monsters of Faerûn (2001). The third edition of Dungeons & Dragons included the Beholder in the Monster Manual (2000) with the expanded monster statistics of this release. The Beholder's xenophobia towards other subraces of Beholders was added after Jim Holloway submitted multiple designs for the Beholder's spelljamming ship and Jeff Grubb decided to keep them all and used xenophobia to explain the differences in design style. Jeff Grubb cites Keith Parkinson's artwork as the inspiration for the beholder-kin created for the Spelljammer campaign setting. īased on Tom Wham's depiction in the first edition Monster Manual, TSR artist Keith Parkinson characterized its popular appearance with plate-like armored scales and arthropod-like eyestalks. I, Tyrant expands the information on beholders through details of the race's history, religion, culture, settlements and psychology, and more. The book I, Tyrant (1996), and the Monstrous Arcana module series that accompanies it, develops the beholder further. It also appeared in the Monstrous Compendium Volume One (1989), and is reprinted in the Monstrous Manual (1993). Beholders feature prominently in the Spelljammer setting, and a number of variants and related creatures are introduced in the Spelljammer: AD&D Adventures in Space campaign set, in the Lorebook of the Void booklet (1989). Second edition supplements to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, especially those of the Spelljammer campaign setting, added further details about these classic creatures' societies and culture. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition (1989–1999) Moore authored "The Ecology of the Beholder", which featured in Dragon #76 (August 1983). With the release of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition, the beholder appeared in the first edition Monster Manual (1977), where it is described as a hateful, aggressive, avaricious spherical monster that is most frequently found underground. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition (1977–1988) In 1991, it appeared in the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia. The beholder later appears in the Companion Rules set, in the Dungeon Masters Companion: Book Two (1984). It is described as a "Sphere of Many Eyes" or "Eye Tyrant", a levitating globe with ten magical eye stalks. The beholder was introduced with the first Dungeons & Dragons supplement, Greyhawk (1975), and is depicted on its cover (as shown in the section below). Rob Kuntz's brother Terry Kuntz created the Beholder, and Gary Gygax detailed it for publication. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons monsters, the beholder is an original creation for D&D, as it is not based on a creature from mythology or other fiction. Beholders have been used on the cover of different Dungeons & Dragons handbooks, including the fifth edition Monster Manual. Beholders are one of the few classic Dungeons & Dragons monsters that Wizards of the Coast claims as Product Identity and as such was not released under its Open Game License. The beholder is among the Dungeons & Dragons monsters that have appeared in every edition of the game since 1975. It is depicted as a floating orb of flesh with a large mouth, single central eye, and many smaller eyestalks on top with powerful magical abilities. The beholder is a fictional monster in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

Gordon-Reed asserts that, “central to the Hemingses’ identity was their being of mixed race.” 2 The Hemings seemed to be highly aware of the benefits from coupling with white men and producing offspring possessing greater degrees of European ancestry as it increased the likelihood of achieving manumission (freedom granted from their owner in a will) or ensuring the freedom of their children. Heming’s ancestry was three-quarters European and one quarter African. As Sally possessed very similar facial features to Jefferson’s deceased wife, Gordon-Reed posits that it is understandable that she would be physically attractive to Jefferson. This made Sally the light-skinned half-sister of Thomas Jefferson’s wife (and we thought keeping up with the Kardashians was difficult!). Martha Wayles Jefferson was the only wife of Thomas Jefferson, who died prematurely. Wayles was the father of Martha Wayles Jefferson. Sally Hemings was the daughter of Elizabeth (Betty) Hemings, an interracial slave, and her owner John Wayles. This riveting social and family history follows three generations of slaves starting in 1730 with the birth of Elizabeth Hemings, Sally’s mixed race slave grandmother and ending in the 1820s, with the lives of the 7 children (4 of whom lived to adulthood) who were the product of the 38 years Sally Hemings and Jefferson were sexually involved. Gordon-Reed additionally gives a close reading of historical sources produced on Jefferson’s plantation, as well as the 1802 testimony of James Thomas Callendar and interviews with the Hemings descendents to confirm that Jefferson did in fact father some of Sally Hemings’ children. In this book, Gordon-Reed uses both the infamous 1999 DNA analysis which proved a genetic tie between the Jefferson clan and the Hemings and the work of an archeologist at Monticello who validated a correlation in the timing of when Jefferson was visiting Monticello and Sally Hemings’ pregnancies. The paucity of records about their relationship penned by Jefferson compounded the debate, regardless of multiple documents written by their descendants at the turn of the nineteenth century confirming their paternity. Historians dedicated to the life of Thomas Jefferson animatedly disputed how the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence kept humans in bondage, whether the Founding Father forcibly slept with Hemings, and if they conceived children. We know simply that “During that time,” as Madison Hemings wrote of his parents’ final year in Paris, “my mother became Mr. Jefferson did not record how their relationship changed from slave and master to parents in his Farm Book, where he chronicled the names, birth dates, and family trees of all the slaves he owned. By doing this, they enslaved their unborn child. Thomas Jefferson convinced his pregnant fifteen-year-old slave Sarah “Sally” Hemings to leave the bustling Parisian world where she was working for him as a free contractor and return to a life of slavery on his Virginia plantation, Monticello. In December 1789, Paris was engulfed in the burgeoning French Revolution. Pulitzer Prize winning lawyer and historian Annette Gordon-Reed of Harvard University discusses her new book the Hemingeses of Monticello: An American Family, which chronicles the lives of Thomas Jefferson and the often neglected Hemings Family, owned by Jefferson on his Virginia plantation, including his concubine Sally.

He's not the kind of guy to just point-blank ask "you up?" or invite you over for some Netflix. If you can't understand why he would've passed it up, it's because you're the reason.ĩ. He's outright rejected other women in front of you. He's just looking for moments to spend time with you.Ĩ. Maybe he goes the long way after class so he can show up outside of your room. Maybe he goes out of his way to walk through your department so he's got a chance to talk to you. Anytime a guy has to clarify with "it's not a date" or "I hope this doesn't come off the wrong way," it's because he's into you.ħ. If he's asking you to an event and it takes longer than half a second to get the question out, he likes you.

Notice how it's concise and to the point, and there are no awkward, fumbling moments because there are no undertones here. You wanna come with? I'll foot the bill, don't worry about a gift or anything. Here's the difference between asking a friend to go with you as a plus-one, and asking someone you like to be your plus-one but you're too shy:Īsking a friend: "Hey, I've got a plus-one to this wedding and I don't want to go alone. He has very awkwardly invited you to a wedding as his plus-one.

He's gone out of his way to do you pretty major favors, like drive you to the airport. If you never said you were cold in the first place, and he could just tell, he probably likes you.ĥ. Not that there's anything wrong with that. All right, now this dude is just pulling things out of the cliche "nice guy" handbook. He offers you his hoodie when you're cold. It's a safe way to get time with you, but it can also lead to confusion.Ĥ. If he says that, he's basically asking you on a date, but if you seem uneasy, he can always back peddle. "We could go together" is the giveaway here. Maybe a new restaurant opened up, or there's a concert he's got an extra ticket to. If he hears you want to go see a movie, he might let you know he wants to go too. He's proposed plans that could be a date but never calls them a date.

If you looked it up on Google Maps and "on the way" really means "20 minutes in the wrong direction," he either likes you or wants to murder you. This is really "stage two" of asking if you're going to a group event. He offers you a ride to places all the time. He probably wouldn't go to this unless he knew you were going to be there and had an opportunity to talk to you.Ģ. Does he check in with you to see if you're going to a mutual friend's birthday party or post-work drinks with the whole office? Maybe he plays coy, as if he doesn't know you didn't hear about it, and then invites you out himself. He always wants to know if you're going to group events. He might need the help, and who is a better wingman for you than. So if you're into him, you might want to just let him know. But there are a few very obvious things he could be doing to feel you out. On the other, if you do like them, the whole thing can be grueling. On the one hand, if you're not into them, it helps your cute coworker avoid the awkwardness of potential rejection. Whether they're shy, lack confidence, or are afraid to make things weird if you don't feel the same way, they send out vibes instead and hope you'll pick up on them.
