Smartphones had pretty sophisticated cameras by 2010 and could be used to take beautiful, in-the-moment images that could instantly be shared with others. Initially, the idea of Instagram was to share your travel itinerary and photos with the world. The Instagram mobile app was launched in 2010 and gained so much success in two years that Facebook (now Meta) bought it from its creator Kevin Systrom for $1 billion in 2012.ĭid you know? The prototype of Instagram was called Burbn, because Kevin loves fine bourbons and whiskeys! To find your aesthetic, let's look at what Instagram is all about and whether it's the right platform for your brand in the first place. Aesthetics on Instagram is very personalized – it's how you make your profile authentically beautiful on your terms. ![]() Now, don't worry beauty standards have changed, and there are no one-size-fits-all aesthetics that you need to reach for.

There are USB-B sockets around the back for two laptops, but one is switchable to a USB-C for an iPad or iPhone running djay Pro AI. Sure, it costs a lot less than its competitors, but the Mixon 8 still has every possible input and output you could possibly expect: four decks, two laptops, and so on. There are two mic channels, with talkover, and these are routed through channels 3 and 4 when required. Speaking of outputs, there are booth and master outs, the latter with an XLR balanced option, and all four channels can take external inputs, two of which are switchable from line to phono. Read this next: 3 Essential Effects Every DJ Needs To Know The unit has no hardware FX like on the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10, for instance, and its per-channel filter knobs do just that (filter – nothing else is switchable in the place of the filters), but overall it has pretty much all the software control you can think of, with slip, auto/manual looping (on buttons), key sync (but no key shift), crossfader curve knob, even a cue split button and a stereo/mono switch on the master output. The Mixon 8 has stuff you’d only find on pro mixers – a stereo/mono button at the top, and more excitingly, a split cue button near the bottom, which is something you just don’t see on DJ controllers. ![]() Personally I’m quite happy with jogwheels this size, and these also have screens built in, but they do feel a little stiff in use. Its pads, faders, knobs and transport buttons are all well spaced and full sized, but its jogs are relatively small for a unit of this size – think Prime 4 rather than FLX6/10. It also has four FX paddles – a first for any DJ gear we can think of. It’s unashamedly a controller, with a nowadays unusual “mirror image” layout and two full FX engine control areas, two things that are rare on DJ gear nowadays.
![]() One doesn’t need to look beyond ‘Beautiful Unknown’ to hear the resurgence of Ingrid’s wistful balladry, featuring a simple percussion-driven rhythm that is underscored by atmospheric classical piano notes. She abandons the string-tethered frills of Human Again, returning to the piano-laden roots of her past. It’s a very humble record, from start to finish. In a way, Lights Out harkens back to Michaelson’s philosophy during that old interview. ![]() After all, she is anything but “not that good”, with her meek Myspace beginnings launching a critically acclaimed indie-songwriting career. Even if she is - by her own admission - an average musician, then her humble vision and creativity has allowed her to grow into a phenomenal artist. Perhaps it is the honesty that she upholds with herself that has allowed her to perfect her craft. Ingrid has always been the kind of down-to-earth, self-sufficient songwriter that is well aware of her flaws and has never allowed them to become weaknesses. Last week I came across a Newsweek interview of Ingrid Michaelson from 2009 in which she candidly expressed, “I get by, I fool people….they think I’m a lot better than I am.” She then admits that while she can produce some basic chords for the piano, ukulele, and guitar – she’s actually “not that good” at any of them. In it, Michaelson ruminates on the small details of her everyday life, singing "We make bread on Sundays and the little ones are climbing the walls/Up the walls/Nothing lasts forever but the sound of love astounds me every time that it calls." Ultimately, on Lights Out, Michaelson has captured that sound of love.Review Summary: You and me we got this, you and me we're beautiful Elsewhere, we get the catchy dance-pop duet "One Night Town" with Mat Kearney and the uplifting anthem "Afterlife." There's also a very in-the-moment feeling of both poignancy and happiness to Lights Out, which is perhaps best expressed in the midtempo Beatlesque ballad "Wonderful Unknown," featuring Michaelson's husband, singer/songwriter Greg Laswell. Cuts like the bluesy, handclap-heavy "Warpath" and the similarly fiery "Time Machine," with its '90s-esque sax samples, are more emblematic of the album's ambitious, empowered tone. While there are a few of Michaelson's trademark intimate breakup songs here, including the tear-inducing "Open Hands," overall the album reveals Michaelson to be in a bright, upbeat state of mind. Michaelson even reunites with longtime collaborator Dan Romer for the epic ballad "Over You," featuring A Great Big World. This time out, Michaelson has enlisted a handful of producers who include, among others, her bandmate bassist Chris Kuffner, Jacquire King ( Modest Mouse, Norah Jones), and singer/songwriter Katie Herzig. Michaelson even seems to reference that album with her Lights Out lead single, the infectious "Girls Chase Boys." However, where Girls and Boys centered around Michaelson's intimate ukulele and acoustic guitar-driven dorm room pop, Lights Out features a broadened sonic palette and a much more robust vocal performance it's a transformation she's been perfecting since 2009's Everybody and 2012's Human Again. Ingrid Michaelson's sixth studio album, 2014's Lights Out, is a polished, well-produced effort that magnifies all of the sounds and lyrical themes she's been working with since breaking through with 2007's Girls and Boys. ![]() In this regard, the Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV)-based pBABE vector system has been widely utilized for highly efficient stable gene overexpression in a variety of different mammalian cells with negligible off-target cellular effects. To our knowledge, pBLIC is the first LIC vector for retroviral transduction-mediated stable gene expression in mammalian cells.Ĭloning vectors capable of being packaged into retroviral particles for transduction into mammalian cells provide efficient tools for stably altering the genome of dividing cells. Thus it comprises an effective retroviral cloning system for laboratory-scale stable gene overexpression or for high-throughput applications such as creation of retroviral cDNA libraries. Our results show that pBLIC vector retains the high transduction efficiency of the original pBABE while eliminating the requirement for checking individual cDNA inserts for internal restriction sites. Here we describe creation of the pBLIC plasmid, and demonstrate successful cloning and protein overexpression from three different cDNAs, Bax, catalase, and p53 through transduction into the human prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP or the human lung cancer line, H358. PCR-based introduction of the complementary sequence into any cDNA of interest enables universal cloning into pBLIC. ![]() Instead, the modified plasmid, pBLIC, utilizes random 12/13-base overhangs generated by T4 DNA polymerase 3' exonuclease activity. Utilizing ligation-independent cloning (LIC) technology, we have modified the highly efficient retroviral transduction vector, pBABE, to eliminate reliance on restriction enzymes for cloning. However, the relatively small number of feasible restriction enzyme sequences in their cloning sites can hinder successful generation of overexpression constructs if these sequences are also present in the target cDNA insert. Cloning vectors capable of retroviral transduction have enabled stable gene overexpression in numerous mitotic cell lines. “While it may feel uncomfortable to be asked how much you make when you contact your credit card company, credit card companies have a legitimate reason for asking,” Christina Tetreault, our colleague and Senior Staff Attorney for Consumers Union, explains. So again, while this may feel icky, it’s definitely legal - and could actually benefit you in the long run. “We conduct reviews regularly, and ask customers to update their info if it is either missing or dated.” “It is important that we have current customer information for ongoing account management purposes,” the Capital One rep told Consumerist. They may periodically reach out to them to make sure the information is still correct. “Check yours at least once a year to make sure it’s accurate.”Ĭredit card companies don’t just rely on customers’ past disclosures, however. Federal regulations generally require that credit card companies use up-to-date income information when considering an account for a credit limit increase,” the site reads. ![]() “It’s important to make sure that all your personal info is accurate and current. “It would be unreasonable for a card issuer not to review any information about a consumer’s income or assets and current obligations, or to issue a credit card to a consumer who does not have any income or assets,” the rule reads.Ĭapital One notes this on their web site: To accomplish this, card issuers may consider things like the ratio of the customer’s debt obligations to their income. “A card issuer must not open a credit card account for a consumer under an open-end (not home-secured) consumer credit plan, or increase any credit limit applicable to such account, unless the card issuer considers the consumer’s ability to make the required minimum periodic payments under the terms of the account based on the consumer’s income or assets and the consumer’s current obligations,” states this ability-to-repay rule. Is This Legal?Īlthough Sean felt Capital One was being intrusive, it’s not only legal for credit card companies to ask for income information, they’re also required by law to keep records of that info current: According to federal regulations, credit card issuers have to make an “ability to repay” evaluation when considering potential customers, or when contemplating credit increases to existing customers. “Maybe it was just an error because I have a credit card with them too, but this feels really unethical,” Sean wrote, wondering if it was legal to require that information before allowing him to log in to see any of his accounts. He was frustrated that he couldn’t access his non-credit card accounts without entering something in that field. He said he suspected it had something to do with him having a Capital One credit card, and acknowledged that other financial institutions had asked for such information in the past, but that he’d never seen anything “so intrusive” because there was no option to opt out. ![]() ![]() That’s what happened to Consumerist reader Sean, who was just trying to log on to, where he has both a savings account and a credit card, only to be faced with a demand for his latest income info: But have you ever gone to your bank’s site only to be told you must update your income with the bank before going any further?
