Between 20, the hashtag has been used in over 108,586 posts out of which 47,340 posts were from 2013. A survey of the use of the hashtag #keepcalmandcarryon hashtag on Twitter between September 2010 and present day by social analytics firm Crimson Hexagon, as shown in the chart below, shows that the volume has dwindled after peaking in 2013. More recently, the phenomenon seems to be waning. “You can put anything in it, and it goes.” “It’s just a simple design that can be used in a lot of different ways,” said Fernanda Suarez, social media manager at Huge. The original typeface by the British Ministry of Information was designed to be hard for the Germans to counterfeit it. The slogan’s classic design has also contributed to its appeal. It helped that it could be easily personalized. In the 2000s, America’s global war on terror had begun, to be followed by the recession, which helped the slogan take off and develop a life of its own, said Christian Hughes, principal and president at agency Cutwater. Retailer Juicy Couture came up with “Keep Calm and Choose Juicy” a few years ago, while Major League Baseball promoted inter-team rivalry by selling sports merchandise such as “Keep Calm and Beat the Red Sox.” E-retailers like Amazon and Etsy have thousands of products with various versions of the slogan. Brands haven’t hesitated to incorporate it over the years. There’s “Keep Calm and Have a Cupcake” merchandise for sweets lovers and “Keep Calm and Kill Zombies” for wannabe zombie slayers. It has also spawned remixes and parodies, in part because brands have come up with their own versions and in part because one U.K.-based company has trademarked the phrase across the European Union and the U.S.Įither way, there seems to be a version for everyone. Since then, it has become a global cultural meme, plastered on everything from T-shirts to coffee mugs to cuff links. ![]() “Keep Calm and Carry On” was discovered in 2000 on an abandoned propaganda poster from the Second World War in a second-hand bookshop in England. ![]() Professional therapists, on the other hand, can incorporate both unweighted and weighted tuning forks into their practice.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., ApThe American Red Cross and the Nashville Predators urge donors to help increase the blood supply for hospitals by donating blood this April. A few years back when they screwed up everyone’s returns I was affected then too. This is the second time filing with turbo tax has ruined my financially. Had I even the slightest idea this could occur I would have removed every penny. I have four kids by myself thank God I have a decent job but this screwed me. But I need to ensure they’ll just send me a check which also means I’ll be forced to wait on the rest of my refund. Mine was set to expire 1/25 I feel like someone really **bleep**ed up and prematurely closed accounts because I’ve received no request for anything from this and they have a valid address for me. Out of curiosity how soon was your card about to expire. Furthermore I’ve had this same card since the pandemic always use it to file and have never had this issue. Funny because I haven’t even had my advance for 30 days much less 60. Allegedly I didn’t provide information within 60 days…. After several panic attacks I call them to find out they closed my account with no notice. ![]() ![]() Woke up yesterday to my card being declined. I got a $2500 refund advance which I’ve been using with no issues. But this is the first year Ive been so disappointed with well everything.Yes this exact same thing happened to me with over $800 in the account. This is not my first time using turbo tax. If I would have know it would be like this I would have went somewhere else. I, just like many others, did this refund advance because of needing money sooner than later. It was like she reading a script telling very general info. And this rep doesn’t even ask any personal info as to actually check my info to see what’s what. I reach out again and im told even though the irs started accepting returns the official start date is not until Monday 1/29/24. So I log in to my TT acct and im unable to find the documents that showed the amount and that i signed for the advance. I was like huh!!? I never received any communication in regard's to this. So finally I called TT and the not so nice rep told me I was declined for the advance refund. I kept checking the stupid credit karma acct I was made to open and nothing. I filed on 1/23, it said I was approved for $1,000 refund advance. (If you don't repay the advance, you will not be eligible for another advance in the future, but you won't be sent to collections and it won't affect your credit score.) ![]() Remember that Turbotax refund advance is unusual because there is no interest or fees charged, and if the IRS denies your refund, Turbotax and Credit Karma can't force you to repay the advance. (Of course, the IRS can change their schedule without notice, that is beyond control of Turbotax or Credit Karma.) I don't use refund advance and I haven't filed yet, so I don't know what the in-program messaging is like, it's possible that this could be made more clear to early filers. Because the IRS has announced they will not start processing returns until January 29, you should not expect the advance before then. ![]() If refund advance was paid early, then people could abuse the system by filing fake returns that they know will get rejected, but collect the money. Acceptance does not mean that the IRS agrees with your figures and will pay the refund, but it does mean that your return has passed basic security and identity checks. The refund advance is simply never paid until the IRS accepts your return. ![]() The reason they have it is so that they can investigate any relevant police issues that might require them to find an address from a number plate anywhere in Australia. Of course, they’re not going to share that information with you or anyone else. The number plate checker mentioned is real, but only the police can use it. The police and other government bodies are the only people who can find a car owner based on the licence plate. Who Can Find the Owner of a Car by the Number Plate? In that sort of scenario, who would be able to use the plate number and track down the driver? Thankfully, your privacy and that of other car owners are protected, and no civilian can find a name or an address from a number plate in Australia.īut what about situations where it’s necessary? For instance, if you witnessed a road rage incident and wanted to make a police report. Some people blow off some steam and let it go, but others might take things too far and want ‘revenge’ just because you honked at them in traffic. Think about what happens during a road rage situation. Seriously, that’s violation of privacy and a potential safety issue. If that were the case, then that would mean that anyone could do the very same with your vehicle and find out who you are and other personal details about you. And, if you really think about it, you wouldn’t want anybody having access to private info just like that, would you? No, as a civilian, you cannot find out the owner of a car by its number plate. Can You Find Out the Owner of a Car by Its Number Plate? In this article, we’re going to look at all the types of information you can and can’t find based on a car’s licence plate number. However, you can run registration checks and car history checks using the number plate whenever you need to, such as when you’re planning on buying a used car. That’s something only the police can do when they’re investigating police matters. ![]() But is there other information that you can get instead?Ĭivilians cannot find out who owns a car by inputting the licence plate into a number plate checker. Although that would be fantastic, that’s not something people are allowed to do. At one point or another, we’ve all wished that we could find out who owns a car by keying the licence plate into some kind of a number plate checker. But first and foremost, we would like to thank our families who have put up with this obsession of ours. There have been so many people outside of our team that helped and inspired us to create this game.

There have been a countless number of books, films, musicians that we have been inspired by. ![]() In this light, and from the information I have been able to glean from the Net and elsewhere, a no compromise system is impractical, and it will often be better to adjust for the best sound (to you) than try to be 100% accurate. In the case of 78 rpm discs, there are actually too many standards to contend with at the sub-dB accuracy level, and you can rest assured that even if it were perfect, it would still sound different from when the disk was cut. As a result, a dB of error here or there will not cause a variation that is significant in real terms. What are the chances that your room, speakers and ears are a perfect match? None! It will never happen. That all these discs usually managed to sound good (or at least acceptable) on most systems is testament to the artistry of good cutting engineers (generally a grossly underrated breed IMO). It's a juggling act that remains with LP vinyl discs. There's also a requirement to ensure that tracks don't cut into an adjacent track, and that the material will fit onto the disc. The mastering engineer would most commonly adjust the EQ until the disk sounded right - in his room, on his speakers, and to his ears. The problem is that few records are (or were) ever cut using only the standard EQ. It isn't! No, this is not blasphemy, just a simple statement of fact. It is mistakenly believed by many that accurate EQ is important . The references contain quite a bit of useful information that you can use if you don't already have the needed equipment.īefore describing the preamp, a brief discussion on RIAA (or any other EQ for that matter) is warranted. ![]() I'm afraid that the turntable and cartridge/ stylus combination are up to you to find. This means that using the standard unit PCB with virtually no modification, it is possible (easy, actually) to add the switching needed to accommodate almost every recording standard ever used. I can do this easily, since the Project 06 phono preamp uses separate equalisation stages. Of these issues, I intend to address only one - the EQ in the phono amplifier stage. The next obstacle is finding a suitable stylus - again, these are hard to get, and modern ones are usually too small for the larger grooves used back then Finally, there is the vast number of EQ 'standards' that were used, ranging from none at all for acoustic recordings, through to an approximation of the modern RIAA and CCIR standards. One of these is obtaining a turntable that runs at 78 rpm, and preferably has the range to cover the somewhat variable actual recording speed, which can apparently be anything from 60-odd to over 84 rpm. Vinyl equalisation (EQ) has been with us in a stable and predictable form for quite a long time, but for those who are interested in the old 78 rpm records there are a great many problems to overcome. Please Note: The P06 printed circuit board is available for this project. ![]() Not to mention how finely the camisole blends in here. Steal Maddy’s style with a fur-trimmed cardigan like this one ($46). Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the prettiest of them all? It’s Maddy in her faux fur collar cardigan from Blumarine and a Heart of Sun Swim Harlow silk top! The coat is made of a stretchy sheer fabric and the fur adds a dimension of luxury to it. Faux Fur Collar Cardigan – Season 2, Episode 2 ![]() Versace Tube Top – Season 2, Episode 3ĭo you remember the bathroom scene where all the girls were together and Maddy, the icon, was wearing a Versace knit tube top with flare leggings ($50)? How could anyone forget? She wore black head to toe and her Coperni Embossed Baguette Swipe Bag ($320) made for the perfect finishing touch. Even in all black, Maddy Perez served a look! Season 2 started with a bang a New Year’s party where Maddy looked bomb! She wore a black cutout dress like this one ($178) with lace up sandals ($110), the perfect welcome to a sexy new year. A sweet addition to it was the Tiffany Return to Tiffany™ Heart Tag Pendant ($250) gifted to Maddy by her ex lover Nate. What makes this outfit even more remarkable is that this dress is a part of the Y2K collection launched by influencer, Devon Lee Carlson, in collaboration with Marc Jacobs. ![]() She wore a black slip dress with white lace details (just like this dupe for $42) that brought out her soft side. Maddy’s 18th birthday outfit is such an uncharacteristically sweet and simple one. The light green color goes so perfectly it’s almost as if this shade was made for Maddy! Photograph by Eddy Chen / HBO 0 3. Thankfully, it’s not too hard to find non-designer alternatives to this stunning slip dress ($17). Slip Dress and Robe – Season 2, Episode 4Ĭozy, elegant, and a hint of sparkle, that’s what makes Maddy’s Blumarine SS18 slip dress and robe outfit so chic. On top of that, the accessories for this look are amazing! It’s impossible to ignore the cuteness of the fuzzy beret hat ($27) and the baby blue belt ($3). The addition of the charms separately was very creative - you can find similar charmed safety pin sets here ($59). This saftey pin covered white tank ($12) is an absolute treasure. While there are too many memorable looks to count, here are some of Maddy’s best outfits from the first two seasons of Euphoria. Each piece of clothing Maddy wears highlights her sexy and bold character. Throughout Euphoria’s two seasons, Maddy has delivered iconic look after iconic look, from her I.AM.GIA purple carnival outfit, to her Devon Lee Carlson for Marc Jacobs birthday dress (which was a gift from the designer herself). And whose style is more showstopping than Maddy Perez’s, played by Alexa Demie ? HBO’s television series, Euphoria, makes Sundays even better! This teen drama has a lot of good bits to it, but, as a fashion lover, the characters’ outfits are really what makes the show so special. |
