My reason for this is that without those bad things and people, there would be no reason to write suck beautiful music like this, and if you think about it with no bad there would be no good. Most people would disagree with me when I say that I would keep everything that is bad about life in life. I’ll let you decipher your own meaning for Swamp when you listen to this song taken from the band’s album Speaking Tongues. Theres like three guitarists on this song (Noel, Bonehead and Paul Weller) so unless you have six arms, you need to join a band to get this one right. Swamp by Talking Heads The band Talking Heads have never openly spoken about the meaning of their 1983 song Swamp, but looking at the lyrics, some people believe the song is about capitalism and greed. I think that for not taking a warning seriously, Maynard feels no sympathy for the people who are getting sucked in. Tablature for The Swamp Song by Fred Lidskog (who seems to tab do every Oasis song. ![]() anonymous click a star to vote Apr 6th 2012 report I always thought of this song related to a mosh pit. Dancing in quicksand just signifies how you may be enjoying yourself in life but you don't realize you're digging yourself into a problem, even after being warned. I think in this song the 'swamp' refers to the dangerous areas of a city, and in this song the narrator (maynard) is sort of like a parent telling his child not to venture out to these places. The thickness of the bog would probably be everything that is complicated in life, also showing how it would be easy to get lost in and of course there being no return. "no one even invited you in you still stumble in." This shows how the ignorant people in life are still born though uninvited. The "bog" being life, is easy to get lost in. General CommentI feel as though this song could be related to life. 'Cause you're a dumbass, belligerent fucker 'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent fucker I hope it sucks, I hope it suck, I hope it suck downĪnd you still stumble and suffocate, suffocate I hope it sucks, I hope it suck, I hope it suck When you're a stupid, dumb ass, belligerent fucker This bog is thick and easy to get lost in He had a quiet Southern charm that made this song and everything.

![]() ![]() Despite this, it discriminates heavily against foreign investors. Its public finances are precarious, with records of government loan defaults that worry foreign investors. The country has never recruited a single civil servant through an open, competitive process. Corruption is rampant, with political parties selling government jobs to their financial backers. The majority of the population cannot vote, and vote-buying and electoral fraud are widespread. The country has a large number of state-owned enterprises, many of which make large losses but are propped up by subsidies and government-granted monopoly rights.Ĭountry B: The country’s trade policy has literally been the most protectionist in the world for the last few decades, with an average industrial tariff rate at 40–55 per cent. In particular, its protection of intellectual property rights is weak, making it the pirate capital of the world. It has opaque and complicated property rights. The country has no elections and is riddled with corruption. Foreign firms producing in the country complain that they are discriminated against through differential taxes and regulations by local governments. The country has heavy restrictions on cross-border flows of capital, a state-owned and highly regulated banking sector, and numerous restrictions on foreign ownership of financial assets. Despite the recent tariff reduction, important visible and invisible trade restrictions remain. What would you say?Ĭountry A: Until a decade ago, the country was highly protectionist, with an average industrial tariff rate well above 30 per cent. You are an economic analyst trying to assess their development prospects. Here are the profiles of two developing countries. ![]() Free-market policies have made few countries rich so far and will make few rich in the future. With only a few exceptions, all of today’s rich countries, including Britain and the US – the supposed homes of free trade and free market – have become rich through the combinations of protectionism, subsidies and other policies that today they advise the developing countries not to adopt. Moreover, it is also not true that almost all rich countries have become rich through free-market policies. There were some spectacular failures of state intervention, but most of these countries grew much faster, with more equitable income distribution and far fewer financial crises, during the ‘bad old days’ than they have done in the period of market-oriented reforms. Thing 7: Free-market Policies Rarely Make Poor Countries RichĬontrary to what is commonly believed, the performance of developing countries in the period of state-led development was superior to what they have achieved during the subsequent period of market-oriented reform. The following is an excerpt from University of Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang's recent book, 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism. Do Free Market Policies Lead to Economic Stagnation? ![]() ![]() Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts data or locks up systems until the victim pays a ransom. If the worst should happen, remember that ransomware is a crime, and you can report it via the resources mentioned on the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency website here.SonicWall recently released their mid-year 2022 Cyber Threat Report.Īccording to their report, ransomware attacks as a whole have decreased through the first half of the year by 23%, while healthcare specific ransomware attacks have actually increased a shocking 328%. Check with the service you're using for details.Īs with any security threat, it's impossible to 100-percent guard yourself against ransomware, but the steps outlined here should help minimize the risk. When it comes to cloud backup solutions, many now offer file versioning features ( Dropbox Rewind, for example)-they roll back your files to a previous point in time, which can be really useful in the event of a ransomware attack, because it means you're able to revert to the state your data was in before it got encrypted. Make sure at least one of your backups is only occasionally connected to your main system, or that whatever backup solution you choose has revision history, so you can go back to before the attack took place. ![]() If your backup is within easy reach of the malware program that's locking your files, then you'll be faced with encrypted backups as well as encrypted files. An external hard drive, a cloud syncing service-they'll all do as long as there are copies of your files out of reach of the ransomware attack.Īnd that last caveat is an important one. The third part of keeping yourself protected against ransomware is to make sure you back up your computer and other devices regularly. Make sure you use strong passwords that are different for all of your accounts (ideally through a password manager) and that you've turned on two-factor authentication everywhere-that means that something else (such as a code sent to or generated by your phone) is required to log in to your accounts in addition to a username and password. ![]() While ransomware is typically targeted at systems and the files on them, with the right username and password bad actors can also get at your files in the cloud, encrypt those, and hold them for ransom. The threat is very real no matter who you are-so how do you protect against it? While it started out as a problem for home users, it has now spread to become a problem for businesses, and several high-profile attacks have recently targeted government agencies and infrastructure companies. Ransomware isn't particularly difficult to develop or deploy, and it's profitable. In some cases you might be locked out of your system completely, along with any other systems on the same network. ![]() ![]() The damage can quickly spread across computers and networks. Malware is used to encrypt your files (in some cases even double-encrypt them) so they require a specific key to be unlocked. There are a few variations on the theme, but it's usually very recognizable. That's where the name comes from- ransomware attacks literally hold your data for ransom. Not only do you have the potentially disastrous consequences of being locked out of your most important files and systems, you also have to decide if you're willing to pay cold, hard cash to get access to them again, if you even get access after paying. From taking down entire fuel pipelines to hijacking hospital networks, it's the cyberattack du jour. Move over viruses, step aside worms: Ransomware has the spotlight and isn't about to give it up. ![]() ![]() ![]() Connect the power supply to the transmitter and turn on the power switch on the transmitter.Use the included double sided tape to hold the IR transmitter in place.

WiFi: Models with built-in WiFi let you access online music services such as Pandora and Spotify directly from the soundbar. Some have two-way Bluetooth, which will let you send music from the soundbar to Bluetooth-enabled speakers or headphones. Some support near field communication (NFC), which is a quick way to make an initial Bluetooth connection. If you intend to connect a Blu-ray player or an ultra-high definition Blu-ray player with 4K HDR video capability, make sure the soundbar has a pass-through feature to send these signals to your TV.īluetooth: More soundbars now support Bluetooth, which allows you to send music from mobile devices (tablets, phones, or computers) wirelessly to the soundbar speaker. This allows a single connection from the soundbar to the TV if your source component, such as a cable box, is connected directly to the TV. Many HDMI connections now support audio return channels-either ARC or eARC, the latter with more bandwidth for higher-resolution and immersive audio formats-a feature that lets a TV send audio back to the sound base or soundbar. HDMI: Some soundbars have one or more HDMI inputs and may include an HDMI output to the TV, allowing you to use the soundbar to switch between video source components. Additional options allow you to stream content wirelessly. You’ll need a variety of inputs for connecting various audio and video sources, so make sure the inputs on the soundbar or sound base match the outputs on the source components. But if you want to use the soundbar for music as well as TV, we recommend a model with a Very Good or Excellent score for sound quality.Ĭompare warranties. Most manufacturers provide 12 months of coverage, but check before you buy. It will be a step up from almost any TV’s built-in sound. With soundbar speaker systems, this is usually accomplished by having upfiring drivers in the main enclosure, and sometimes also in the rear satellites.Ĭonsider placement. If you’ll be placing the soundbar on your TV stand, make sure there’s enough room in front of the set, and check to see that the soundbar isn’t so tall that it will block the remote control’s line of sight to the TV.ĭon’t overbuy. If you’re using the soundbar only for listening to your TV, you can go for a low-priced, no-frills model that has at least decent sound quality in our ratings. Some new models include Dolby Atmos, a newer immersive sound technology that adds the element of height to speaker systems. If you want true surround sound, buy a soundbar with a subwoofer and rear speakers-preferably wireless-for multichannel sound. Audition soundbars in the store if you can, and ask about returns and exchanges if the one you buy doesn’t suit you once you get it home.ĭecide how many channels you want. If you simply want to enhance your TV sound, a soundbar with 2.1 channels (two front channels and a separate subwoofer) could be enough. Try them out. Soundbars with similar scores in our ratings for sound quality are likely to sound different from each other because of the way they handle various frequencies and how they interact with the acoustics in your room. Some come with popular voice systems, such as Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit (with Siri), or Google Assistant built in, and others require the use of another voice-enabled smart speaker to respond to voice commands. One other thing to consider: Do you want the ability to use your voice to control the speaker? Many soundbars are now smart speakers that can respond to voice commands to raise the volume, change inputs, and sometimes control a TV or other smart devices in your home. But there are also some newer, pricier models that have enough power to fill even a larger room. ![]() Many inexpensive soundbars can be great if you have a small or medium space and want a simple way to enhance your TV’s sound. Note that many less expensive soundbars have less power and fewer features than a component audio system, so they’re not the best choice for a very large room, nor for audiophiles craving a theaterlike experience. That means a soundbar with a Good rating for sound will sound better than a TV with a Good rating. We judge them more like speakers designed for listening to music. In our ratings, a soundbar speaker is held to a higher standard than a TV for audio quality. Here’s an important note for CR members, who can access all our ratings. ![]() |
