Did you know that e-cig vapor kills pneumonia-causing bacteria?
The American vaping community has grown very accustomed to reading intentionally misleading articles online that try to equate vaping with smoking. But did you know that there is a decades-old research study by a world-class scientist which claims that the propylene glycol vapor from vaping e-liquid kills deadly pneumonia-causing bacteria?
It's true. The scientist's name is Dr. Theodore T. Puck, and his research on this now-common e-liquid ingredient actually took place nearly 75 years ago between 1943 and 1945. When Mr. Puck died in 2005 at the ripe, old age of 89, newspapers from around the world, including the New York Times, ran full-page articles highlighting his remarkable achievements in scientific research, particularly in regards to genetics and cell growth.
His 1943-45 research entitled, The Bactericidal action of propylene glycol vapor on microorganisms suspended in air, is still readily available online, published in The U.S. National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes Health (NLB-NIH) organization.
By reading Mr. Puck's study, airborne bacteria including pneumococci, streptococci, and staphylococci are immediately killed when they interact with the heated vapor of propylene glycol (PG). Furthermore, the PG only needs to be heated to as little as 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Vaping typically takes place at almost four times that level.
Pneumococci is the bacteria most commonly associated with pneumonia. Streptococci causes strep throat, and staphylococci is perhaps best known as the bacteria that leads to food poisoning.
Yet doctors have known for decades that the vapor produced from heated propylene glycol kills these bacteria instantly. And according to Mr. Puck's research, it doesn't even require a massive amount of vapor.
So, why do federal agencies like the CDC and the FDA continue to demonize vaping? Why do they continue to publish misinformation online, making such outlandish accusations that vaping is just as deadly as smoking? Perhaps they need to re-read Mr. Puck's research from 1945. Or perhaps even more ominously, they have already read it but refuse to share its scientific findings with the American people.

처음 지어진 정확한 시기는 알 수 없으나, 우암 송시열의 8대손인 송병일이 대한제국 시기에 충청감사로 있을 때에 아버지를 위해 별당을 지어준 것이 증축을 거쳐 종택으로까지 사용되었으나, 현재는 충북양로원으로 사용되고 있다.
원래는 여러 채의 집이 있었다고 하나 지금은 안채, 사랑채, 곳간채, 사당, 대문채만이 남아 있다. 안채와 사랑채는 모두 앞이 트인 'ㄷ'자형으로 동·서로 나란히 서있고 그 사이에 낮은 담장을 가로질러 영역을 구분하였다. 안채 앞에는 '一'자형의 곳간채가 길게 가로막고 서있어 전체적으로 트인 'ㅁ'자형을 이루고 있다.
3칸 크기의 대문채를 지나 안으로 들어서면 사랑채가 대문채와 마주 보고 서있으며, 안채와 사랑채 사이의 담장에 난 협문을 통해야만 안채로 진입할 수 있다. 결국 남성들의 공간인 사랑영역을 지나지 않고는 여성들의 거주공간인 안영역으로의 접근은 불가능한 배치를 갖추었으며 이는 성리학적 질서에 충실한 조선시대 사대부 민가 공간구성 수법의 좋은 사례이다.
안채는 7칸 크기의 몸채 동·서 끝단에 3칸의 날개를 앞으로 붙여 'ㄷ'자형으로 만들었다. 안채의 가운데에 각 2칸의 큰방과 대청을 두고 큰방 서쪽에 안방과 부엌이 연이어 있으며, 대청의 동쪽에는 작은방을 붙였다. 서쪽 날개는 3칸의 크기의 부엌에 이어 앞으로 2칸의 온돌방을 두었고, 동쪽 날개는 작은방 앞의 툇마루를 사이에 두고 2칸의 방과 1칸의 방으로 구성하였다. 안방에서 작은방의 앞으로는 툇마루를 두어 동선을 연결하고 있다.
사랑채는 안채와 같은 'ㄷ'자형으로 안채보다 규모가 작다. 6칸의 크기의 몸채 앞으로 2칸의 날개를 내밀어 평면을 구성하였고, 몸채 가운데를 둘로 나누어 서쪽은 안사랑, 동쪽은 대청이 각 2칸으로 되어 있다. 안사랑의 연이은 서쪽의 뒷칸에는 골방, 앞칸에는 부엌을 두고 그 앞으로 2칸의 작은사랑방을 내밀어 서쪽 날개를 이루고 있다. 대청의 동쪽에 붙은 방은 윗사랑방 앞으로는 2칸의 마루방을 두고 앞칸은 한단 높여 누마루와 같이 만들었다.
사당은 대개 3칸이지만 이곳은 4칸으로 구성되어 있다. 앞쪽에는 툇마루가 있고 가운데는 대청으로 되어있어 사당으로서는 특수한 평면구성을 보이고 있다.
19세 후반의 건물로 안채는 사랑채보다 지어진 연대가 조금 앞서며, 사랑채는 건축기법이 뛰어난 건물이다. 전체적으로 떨어져 나간 부분과 고친 부분이 있어 그 규모를 정확히 알 수 없으나 조선 후기 사대부집으로서 우수한 가치가 있다.
Built in the late 19th century, this large residence is currently being used as a nursing home, so it has lost its original appearance. The house used to consist of several buildings, but only the anchae (women's quarters), sarangchae (men's quarters), storage building, and shrine remain. Overall, it is sitting in the southeast direction. The anchae was built in ㄷ-shaped layout with the "ㅡ"-shaped storage building in front, so it has an open "ㅁ"-shape. The main structure of the anchae is made of 7 kan (unit of measurement referring to the distance between two columns) and 3 kan wing on the east and west sides, respectively. The floor plan is laid out in the Southern Province style. The west side of the main structure has a 2 kan kitchen on its right and left sides, respectively, with the anbang (main room) and a room, the daecheong (main wooden floor), and a smaller bedroom laid out side by side. Toenmaru (wood-floored veranda) is installed between the anbang and the smaller room, with another toenmaru installed between the 3 kan in the east wing. This special composition is quite rare and unique to this house. The sarangchae has a 6-kan main structure and a 2-kan wing on the west and east sides, respectively. On the west side of the main structure are a kitchen on the front and a small room at the back. Next to the kitchen are two sarangbang (master's rooms) separated by a 2-kan daecheong in the middle. A smaller sarangbang is also located at each end of the daecheong. Unlike typical houses that have a 3-kan shrine, this house has a 4-kan shrine with toenmaru (wood-floored veranda) in front. The shrine has daecheong in the middle, so it has a unique layout for a shrine. Overall, it is considered to be an excellent example of high-class houses in the late Joseon Dynasty but has been changed greatly due to deterioration and remodeling. Thus, the house lost its original appearance. The anchae was built in an earlier period compared to that of the sarangchae, which was built in the late 19th century. The house seems to have been built with excellent architectural techniques. This house was called "Chungbuk Nursing Home" at the time of its designation as cultural heritage but was renamed "Historic House of Cheongcheon-ri, Goesan" by reflecting the name of the region where this house is situated (Jan. 29, 2007). ※ Viewing of the cultural property above is usually available anytime but may be limited depending on the owner's personal circumstances.


The sun, the stars, and the planets are part of the eternal and predictable in peoples life and has alway taking a big part in our daily life. The northern lights are here due to cosmos magnetic and electrical powers. Cosmos show us mesmerizing colours and movement over the sky in it`s wonderful nature.The northern light can not be described. You need to experience the atmosphere and the amazing lights dancing over the sky while breathing cold fresh norwegian air.
The magnetic field is the reason why we get the northern lights in the polar area. Electrical particles moves much easier along the magnetic field og reaches futher down in the atmosphere in the polar region cause here it is almost vertical down to earth. Particle precipitation is encircles the magnetic poles, and in this circle we find the northern lights as a halo around both the poles.
You can find Varanger in the auroral zone and here the northern lights daily phenomenon. Some days it is not as bright to be noticed, but there is no exaggeration to say that the northern lights occurs every second night here in Varanger. However clear sky play a vital part as well to explore this amazing phenomenon.

Metaverse Magna (MVM) Unveils Scholarship Program to Help Millions of Africans Make up to $1,000/Month Playing Crypto-Powered Games
CryptocurrenciesTech News
By Mfidie	 On Dec 16, 2021 Last updated Dec 16, 2021
MVM, Africa's first and largest crypto gaming DAO, is sponsoring anyone with internet access and a commitment to improving the quality of their lives with a rare opportunity to earn up to $1,000 a month playing crypto games.
To enter into the play-to-earn crypto gaming world, players are typically required to purchase expensive gaming assets. These assets then unlock access to games like Axie Infinity, which give players cryptocurrency rewards they can exchange for real money. However, given Africa's economic dynamics, the average individual cannot afford to purchase these gaming assets (which can cost up to $1,200 in the case of Axie Infinity). This is where MVM comes in.
Led by its General Manager, Onyinye Umeaka, alongside a team of operations, growth and community experts, MVM is working to break down gaming barriers in Africa by giving individuals the opportunity to play, earn and grow their wealth without having to purchase any gaming assets. Through its scholarship program, it bears the cost of investment by acquiring the assets and lending them to players. It also provides additional support through virtual training facilities, a strong community of star players across the globe, and a model that ensures that scholars retain the majority of their earnings.

But it goes beyond fun and games. Having identified Africa's rapid progression towards becoming the largest workforce in the world by 2035 (source: Bloomberg), the organization is seeking to elevate the lower economic classes towards financial security and develop economies across the continent through crypto.
In a recent interview, Onyinye Umeaka stated: "The crypto play-to-earn revolution has been enriching communities in the Philippines and other countries across Asia, and we are excited about what it's already doing in Africa. As further proof of our commitment to the cause, we're also developing a free and easy-to-use guild management platform to give anyone else interested in building a similar gaming guild on the continent the tools and community they need to do it."
Metaverse Magna is the second venture to be publicly announced by Nestcoin, a crypto-native Venture Collective aimed at unlocking the wealth-building potential of crypto, with a mission to democratise economic opportunities across Africa and other frontier economies. According to Nestcoin CEO Yele Bademosi: "Nestcoin has a broader vision of breaking down all the barriers for entry into crypto, and MVM really embodies this vision. We believe Play-to-Earn has the potential to drive mass adoption of crypto in Africa, approximately 40% of 1.2 Billion Africans are below the poverty line so the opportunity to help 250M gamers on the continent earn up to $1,000 a month is a worthy mission in our quest to drive economic transformation on the continent".
MVM was incubated in partnership with Old Fashion Research (OFR), a multi-strategy blockchain investment fund founded by executives from the world's leading exchange. In the words of Ling Zhang, founding partner of Old Fashion Research and former VP of M&A at Binance: "***We at OFR are beyond excited to be building the MVM DAO with Nestcoin. Whether it is, play-to-earn, move-to-earn, or build-to-earn, the metaverse economy will empower a whole new generation of Africans. The DAO format of MVM will enable unprecedented financial access and wealth creation for our players and our community.***"
Also on Mfidie.com: Youth urged to develop more interest in the tech space
The DAO is partnering with investors who share its mission and will be unveiling more games in the coming months. Game developers are also invited to pitch new and innovative games for a chance to receive capital and an army of enthusiastic and free MVM players.
In the Metaverse Magna, everybody wins.

Over the past thirty years, a new systemic conception of life has emerged at the forefront of science. New emphasis has been given to complexity, networks, and patterns of organisation, leading to a novel kind of 'systemic' thinking. This volume integrates the ideas, models, and theories underlying the systems view of life into a single coherent framework. Taking a broad sweep through history and across scientific disciplines, the authors examine the appearance of key concepts such as autopoiesis, dissipative structures, social networks, and a systemic understanding of evolution. The implications of the systems view of life for health care, management, and our global ecological and economic crises are also discussed. Written primarily for undergraduates, it is also essential reading for graduate students and researchers interested in understanding the new systemic conception of life and its implications for a broad range of professions - from economics and politics to medicine, psychology and law.

Boeing, Bell Team with U.S. Marines to Improve Osprey Readiness
Three Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey aircraft are being modified as part of a contract modification, resulting in a higher-performance Osprey fleet with less aircraft configurations.
Jack Browne | Feb 06, 2018
Fueled by an addition to an existing defense contract, the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey team has joined forces with the U.S. Marines to improve the reliability and readiness of the fleet of Osprey tiltrotor aircraft. The Bell Boeing Joint Program Office was awarded contract modification worth slightly more than $69 million to upgrade three existing MV-22 aircraft (see figure) in support of the V-22 Common Configuration-Readiness and Modernization (CC-RAM) Program.
The majority of the upgrade work will be performed at Boeing's facility in Philadelphia. "The CC-RAM program is the cornerstone for MV-22 long term sustainment and affordability," noted Colonel Matthew Kelly, V-22 joint program manager. "We look forward to the supportability benefits this program will provide as the MV-22 continues to effectively deliver Marines into and out of harm's way."

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is a joint service combat aircraft that combines the functions of a helicopter and a fixed-wing aircraft. It can take off and land in the tight spaces of a helicopter but, once airborne, can achieve the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft. The U.S. Marines have multiple configurations of the V-22 aircraft, jointly produced by Bell Helicopter and Boeing. The different configurations are denoted by different block letters, and this upgrade program will help to simplify the fleet by modifying block "B" aircraft to the block "C" configuration.
"Our team is ready to take the MV-22 program into the future," said Kristin Houston, vice president for the the Boeing Tiltrotor programs and program director for the Bell Boeing V-22 program, explained the significance of the program. "Our integrated approach to managing CC-RAM will extend V-22 service life for the Marines and provide modernized technical capabilities to dedicated servicemen and women around the world."

The month of June has lots of reasons to celebrate
Welcome to the month of June - Photo: Blasting News Library - tonyburgess1969.net
June is the month of the year that many people look forward to for various reasons.
June 1, 2017 at 8:34 AM June 1, 2017 at 8:34 AM
June is the sixth month of the year, it has 30 days like April, September, and November and marks the last month in the first half of the year. There are some interesting things about the month with many things to celebrate. Some females are named June like those named April and May. Also, there is a 39-year-old actress named January Jones. Let's not forget the June bug this month.
June is named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. That's why it is a popular month for weddings. Couples believe it is a lucky month to tie the knot because it has been said that those who get married in June will be blessed with prosperity and happiness.
Another reason couples choose to get married in the sixth month is for tax purposes. When people get married in this month, they are considered to have been a married for the whole financial year. A lower rate of income tax is applied to the year's earnings, and the couple will receive a substantial refund.
Teachers and students look forward to this month because they can start their summer vacation. Teachers look forward to getting a break from lesson plans, grading papers, and teaching. Students look forward to going to camp or being involved in fun activities during the summer months.
Mother's Day was celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Father's Day is celebrated in the United States on the third Sunday in June.
Father's Day this year is celebrated on June 18. This is the day when people do something special to honor their fathers, grandfathers and father figures. Sermons about fathers are preached in most churches.
Other observances
There is no legal holiday in June, but National Flag Day is recognized on June 14. It was on June 14, 1777 when Congress adopted the stars and stripes as the United States flag to symbolize unity of all the states.
Discuss this news on Eunomia
On Flag Day, Americans show respect for the U.S. Flag and what it represents. Some show their patriotism by displaying the American flag. Juneteenth every year is on June 19 to celebrate when slavery ended. This dates back to 1865.
Even though Memorial Day was the unofficial start of summer, the season doesn't officially begin until Wednesday, June 21 on the longest day of the year which is called the summer solstice.
Whether you have a birthday to celebrate this month or not, there are other things to celebrate. They include International Men's Month, National Seafood Month, National Candy Month, National Dairy Month, and National Iced Tea Month.
Welcome to the month of June. May it bring you peace, happiness and much joy.

Destructive beetle officially driven out of Mississauga
by Ashley Newport on June 25, 2020
A pestilent (and frightening) insect has been driven out of Mississauga and Toronto, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says.
The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Marie-Claude Bibeau and the Minister of Natural Resources, Seamus O'Regan, recently announced that the Asian longhorned beetle (ALHB) has been eradicated from the cities of Mississauga and Toronto.
The ALHB, a destructive wood-boring insect that endangers maples and other hardwood trees (such as poplar, birch and willow), was seen as a significant threat to Canada's hardwood and maple syrup industries.
It was not known to have settled anywhere else in Ontario.
According to the CFIA, the ALHB was discovered in Mississauga and Toronto in August 2013, after previously having been eradicated in both Toronto and Vaughan after first being discovered in those cities in 2003.
The ALHB is not native to Canada and has no natural controls, the CFIA says. At this point, tree removal is the most effective way of mitigating the spread of the beetle to uninfested trees.
To prevent spread to other areas, the CFIA established a regulated area within the cities that restricted the movement of nursery stock, trees, lumber, wood, and wood products, including all firewood, unless given prior authorization.
The CFIA says a promotional campaign and help from residents and businesses helped eradicate the pest.
"Today's announcement builds on all the work we have been doing in collaboration with our federal, provincial and municipal partners," Bibeau said in a statement.
"Together, we continue to work to prevent the introduction and spread of plant pests within Canada in an effort to protect our plant resources, which is critical to food security and our wellbeing."
After five years of surveys with no detection of the insect, the ALHB-infested place order has been repealed, effective June 9, 2020.
The CFIA says that while the movement of firewood and host tree materials will no longer be restricted, residents should note that pests often travel by hitching a ride in firewood.
"It is always recommended to buy and burn wood locally," the CFIA said.

Rose Studios is an audio oasis in the desert, located in El Centro, CA, "where the sun spends the winter." Studio A is an exclusive, private recording studio with an atmosphere crafted to support your creativity and equipped with the technology to capture your finest performance.
The recording studio complex is easily accessible by way of Interstate-8. The recording studio is 14 miles north of Mexicali, Mexico, the capitol of Baja California, 60 miles west of Yuma, Arizona, 120 miles east of San Diego, California, and only 3 miles from the Imperial County Airport.
There are ample restaurant and hotel accommodations located within a two mile radius of the recording studio. Rose Studios is away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, limiting distractions allowing freedom to concentrate solely on your music.
"The recording studio complex is designed for three recording studios, A, B and C. Recording studios B and C are upstairs. Studio A is the only one of the recording studios that we are using for recording sessions at this time and is shown in the photos.
3/9/19 Update notice: We are making progress on new upgrades and changes including totally replacing the Studio A central air conditioning system, totally replacing the Studio A Control Room central air conditioning system, major computer software and hardware upgrades, some maintenance, ect, ect, ect. Do to these changes and the complexity of recording studio requirements for doing things the studio is not open at this time and we will post on this site when available for recording sessions. Please contact us for any questions.
This is only a partial list to give a little info on some of the gear in the studio with a few comments. Equipment is subject to change as the studio strives to improve.
The all-tube Manley VoxBox is one of the best recording combinations available today. The Voxbox is a combination mic preamp, opto-compressor; mid Pultec equalizer, and peak limiter/de-esser, and it's not just for voice; it's excellent on about everything.
The studio has seven original vintage Neve modules in the form of 1272 mic preamps. Here is a description of their characteristics: They are known to sound amazingly thick and smooth giving a really fat sound. It seems to add sub harmonics to the low end, which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end which gives the highs a silky sheen. As well the 1272 compresses transients a little bit. It is a smooth, fat, larger than life sound. There have probably been more hits recorded through Neve mic preamps than any other mic preamp.
With the re-design of the 3124…The circuit is still the original 312 mic pre-amp card, with all of the stuff hooked up for you. ..Many have tried to copy it, but it still wins the shoot outs!!!
API preamps are classics and everyone uses them. They are punchy, have great bass and have a clear, extended top end. It is a powerful "in your face sound" and they don't compress transients. The low end is tight with good attack. Compared to the Neve 1272, the API's tone is tight and punchy, and the Neve 1272 is amazingly thick. The API's HF is more detailed, and the Neve's are smoother.
The Drawmer DL241 Dual Channel 'Auto-Compressor' highlights the beginning of a new generation of dynamic processors which set new standards of sonic excellence. Its sophisticated design produces a smooth, transparent and warm sonic performance. One of the studio racks includes two of the Drawmer DL 241s as shown below and also contains their DS 404 Quad gate.
The ADL 1500 tube compressor by Anthony Demaria Labs is an all-discrete design providing phenomenal dynamic range with a clear, punchy, warm, sound! Its "invisible" compression has made the ADL 1500 a very in-demand item. Each unit is hand built with the very finest workmanship available. It has that "Fat" sound.
Also available is the Anthony Demaria Labs Stereo Tube Direct box, and the Groove Tube Ditto tube direct box both shown below.
The Aguilar DB 900 Tube Direct Box is available for sessions. It has an ultra pristine, minimalist audio path with no gain boost; so combined with a high-quality mic preamp, the Aguilar DB 900 exhibits all of the audiophile qualities one could hope for in a piece of pro-audio gear, delivering a clear, detailed, tightly focused, and well-balanced sound from deep lows to airy highs. The DB 900 is a favorite DI for recording electric bass guitar and synthesizer. On bass, the DB 900 offers the best of all worlds: perfectly balanced tone, low noise, a clear top end with truckloads of nuance and air, and an extended, tight bottom. You can clearly hear the 12AX7 tube working its magic; electric bass sounds very rich and warm through this awesome DI. On a direct box shootout with synthesizer pads, the Aguilar DB 900 dominated the field, offering by far the richest, most resonant, and clearest tone of the units tested.
4) 421-U-4 (the older ones with "that sound").
This is not even close to a complete list of recording studio equipment but is here to give an idea of some of the pieces that could be used on a session.
The biggest finest piece of equipment is the recording studio itself. There were many years of in depth consultation with some of Americas best and international acousticians and designers of recording studios prior to the recording studio remodel. Craftsmen have labored thousands of hours to make Rose Studios an ideal destination to record your music.
These are typical steps in recording a band. Other types of recordings use different steps but follow a similar process.
1) Preliminary work: The engineer gets session information before the session date. He configures a rough room layout considering the instruments possibly having to move equipment out making room for the positioning of musicians and different instruments. Microphones, stands, cue boxes, cables, and anything anticipated to be used for the session is prepped for the session. A recording template is built for the first song ready to be filled in when the band arrives at scheduled session time and starts on item 2) below. When possible the preliminary work is done a day in advance.
2) The setup of instruments: including tuning, microphone placement, making track assignments, general patching to recording and outboard equipment, level adjustments, and sound check.
3) Recording basic tracks: typically a rhythm section with drums, bass, guitar, and or keyboard with a guide vocal all recorded on separate tracks.
4) Recording over dubs: includes listening for and fixing any mistakes and adding additional parts including all vocals and solos.
5) Mixing down: All the recorded tracks are mixed into the sound field balancing frequency range, dimension, panning, volume and tone including some enhancing with processors. Tracks may get some cleaning up, repair, editing or additional musical magic added. The mix down blends all this together to create the complete sound of the song. For high quality this is usually the most time consuming and a very critical phase of the recording process.
6) Mastering including editing and sequencing: Mastering is taking the stereo mix and putting the final polish on it. It consists of evening out levels, pumping it up a little and possibly overall equalization. Editing and fades are involved, sequencing the songs in order and making the CD master.
A demo recording can play a major role in many aspects of your being a successful musician.
When you want to sing or play somewhere new, your demo is your calling card and the key to opening doors. This could be all they know about you and what they base a decision on.
Your first impression is vitally important and a bad, unprofessional demo with mistakes will close doors. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
The critical difference in getting positive results projecting a professional image is to capture your best performance with excellence.
Demos need no more than 3 songs unless more are requested. If your budget is limited it is better to do 1 song very well than 3 not so well. A good medium is to pick your best 2 songs that are different enough to show some diversity.
All that's necessary on a demo is a clearly printed label on the CD or recording media itself with your contact information.
How much does it cost to record a song? How long does it take?
There are many variables involved such as how many times you go over your part until you are pleased with your performance. Three times or thirty three times? Multiply that by the amount of parts in a song and the number of songs you will record.
One estimate for a simple arrangement with a well-rehearsed 4 piece group would be 6 hours per song (loosely figured at 1 ½ hours for every finished minute of music). Others say an hour per finished minute to track and for every hour of tracking figure 2 hours to mix. For a 3 ½ minute song: 3 ½ + (2 x 3 ½ = 7) = 10 ½ hours working out to 3 hours per finished minute. More time, especially in mixing, usually means better quality. Many engineers not only mix on a different day but will only mix one song a day and take the whole day. There is also the option to remix a song again and have many versions. Mastering a complete album with no major problems averages about 45 minutes a song. One song alone would take longer.
Sometimes we find ourselves going very fast recording and mixing towards the end of the day or session. Maybe 3 songs in 9 hours, but this is not the ideal way to do it. I consider these rough mixes even though some time has been spent on them. The best mixing sessions are done on a different day with fresh ears and lots of breaks interspersed throughout the mixing.
One of our fastest band recordings was with six amazing old jazz guys who had probably been playing all their life. They did 14 songs, some instrumental, some with vocals. Total time spent was 18 hours on 3 different session dates. Here is the approximate time breakdown: 6 hours recording, 8 hours mix, 4 hours edit & master.
Steely Dan was known for spending a year recording an album and their popularity and reputation shows it worked for them.
Some gear choices possibly used in recording and mixing can increase the time spent. With the technology we have we can capture your best performance and possibly even go beyond that.
There is a balance between being too rushed to do a good job and knowing when to stop. Some musicians can be their own worst critic and hit a point of diminishing returns. You don't want it to become endless. Part of a producer's job description is to say it is finished and time to move on to the next project.
For some people "how long" may mean a song in 3 or 4 hours, for others 3 or 4 days, and in some cases 3 or 4 months.
The big question: "How long does it take?" is closer to the impossible question. I hope this gives you some helpful insight. Bottom line: time spent on the right things with a good engineer increases quality.


One question that keeps popping up is whether you can be agile on geographically distributed teams. The answer is a resounding yes.
One question that keeps popping up is whether you can be agile on geographically distributed teams. The answer is a resounding yes: DDJ's 2009 Software Development Success Rates found that agile teams are successful at all levels of geographic distribution. It also found that an agile approach is better for co-located and near-located teams compared to traditional strategies, and is equal to a traditional approach for far-located teams. Granted, project success rates go down the more distributed the team is, regardless of the paradigm.
So how do you implement agility in geographically distributed teams? In The Distributed Agile Team (DDJ December 2008), I described several key strategies for applying agile strategies in geographical distributed environments. The article covered how to organize a distributed agile team effectively and how some practices (such as daily coordination meetings and requirements envisioning) need to be tailored to reflect the level of geographic distribution. I also discussed the necessity of adopting development tools that reflect the realities of distributed development and yes, even the need to fly some people out to various team sites. In these economic times, I realize how difficult it can be to get a travel budget, but I've literally seen organizations waste millions of dollars on IT projects because they refused to spend 40,000 dollars on travel.
Geographically distributed agile delivery is clearly too complex a topic to cover in a short blog posting. Luckily, there's great advice in the book A Practical Guide to Distributed Scrum, published by IBM Press in 2010, that you should find useful. The book goes far beyond Scrum and covers other agile scaling issues such as team size as well.

Small Multifamily
Large Multifamily
Southern California, Florida Have Higher Concentrations of Cost-Burdened Households
By Chandan Economics
Los Angeles has the second-largest concentration of 'Severely Burdened' households at 33.2%, just behind Miami at 35.2%.
Metros showing higher than average housing cost shares of household income are also home to higher concentrations of severely cost-burdened households.
Cost Burden Concentrations Differ Across U.S. Metros
In our recent blog, we reported that across the 20 largest U.S. metros, the share of income apportioned to housing costs in small asset multifamily has a 10-percentage point spread, ranging between 35.6% and 45.3%. Miami, Los Angeles and other Southern California locations, and New York registered as the least affordable urban centers, while cities like Dallas and Minneapolis end up favorably on this metric.
Taken alone, these averages fail to express the severity of a metro's rental cost burden, as high-earning households distort the overall reading. Many of these locations include the highest concentrations of the most severely affected households across the largest U.S. metros.
In this deep dive, household shares are classified using the HUD definition of cost-burden, where households spending between 30% and 50% of their household income on housing costs are classified as 'Moderately Burdened', and those spending over 50% are categorized as 'Severely Burdened'.
As shown below, the largest concentrations of Severely Burdened households were found in Miami (35.2%), Los Angeles (33.2%) and New York (31.6%)1.
Taken together, these Southern California and Florida metros had the highest concentrations of housing-cost burdened households in the United States. Dallas and Minneapolis, on the other end, had the highest shares of Non-Burdened households.
Few Expanding Urban Pockets of Affordability
Further underscoring the national dimensions of the affordability issue, only seven of the twenty largest metros experienced a shift towards Non-Burdened households greater than the national average shift of 1.8 percentage points from 2014 to 2016, as shown below.
Discouragingly, New York, Los Angeles and Miami are lagging behind the U.S. average in the addition of new households in the Non-Burdened cost category.
A combination of supply-side bottlenecks and slower wage increases in the largest U.S. metros outside the booming technology centers implies a slower rate of adjustment in affordability going forward.

Mum faked terminal cancer and scammed well-wishers out of £22,000
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty to this offence
Megan Scotcher claimed her cancer had returned and that this time it was terminal (Image: Nottingham Post / Picture It / Megan Scotcher)
A Derbyshire mum has admitted faking having terminal cancer and taking in thousands of pounds in donations from well-wishers.
Megan Scotcher, from Ripley, had been accused of pretending to have terminal cancer between June and December last year.
During that time, she accepted £22,000 in charitable donations and she was later charged with fraud by false representation.
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty to this offence over video link at a hearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday, June 3.
At a previous hearing at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court, prosecutors alleged the defendant, who has a history of cancer, began to claim it had returned in April last year.
It was alleged that following this her ex-partner set up a Go Fund Me page for her, something which was picked up by Derbyshire Live and the Sun newspapers and resulted in "significant amounts of money being raised".
Prosecutors said other people also set up Go Fund Me pages for her, with one person undertaking a 1,000-mile cycle ride to raise money.
"People became suspicious because things were not progressing as they would expect," they said.
Scotcher, of Kirk Close, Ripley, was charged in March this year after being interviewed by police.
In a statement following this, Derbyshire police said: "A woman from Ripley has been charged following an investigation into alleged charity fraud.
"Megan Scotcher from Ripley was voluntarily interviewed following allegations of fraud in respect of charitable donations made in 2020.
"The 27-year-old has now been charged with one count of alleged fraud by false representation and will appear before Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court in May 2021."
She entered her guilty plea at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday.
Following her plea, the case was adjourned to allow for a psychiatric report to be prepared for her sentencing hearing at the same court in September.

8 Reasons Why My Narcissistic Cat Would Be The Worst Husband Ever
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Feb 25, 2021
Photo: Africa Studio / Shutterstock
I read a story about a British woman happily married to her two cats, Lugosi and Spider. I wasn't as shocked as some of the commenters were since I'm familiar with the concept of feline/human marriage. When I was 7, I married my best friend, Donna, to my cat, Boris. I wasn't an ordained minister, I just pronounced them husband and wife. Unfortunately, their marital bliss was short-lived, and the marriage annulled when Donna's mother called her home for dinner.
I'm pretty obsessed with my cat Yoshi, and while I might create a number of sleeping places just for him, and feel weirdly validated when he actually chooses one, I wouldn't marry him even if he begged. Though most of his begging is reserved for tuna-water and/or to be let into rooms he's forbidden to enter.
I'm grateful to have such an awesome cat, but the truth is that no matter how much I adore him, Yoshi is kind of a narcissistic jerk and would make a terrible husband.
RELATED: 12 Reasons Guys Who Love Cats Are The Hottest
Here are the top 8 reasons why I won't marry my cat.
1. He's gay and that's OK.
I love my gray gay cat. The problem is that Yoshi is a feline misogynist and is constantly trying to murder our girl cat, Allie. He's not allowed in the same room with her, but that doesn't stop him from shoving his paw under the door and blindly swiping his paw back and forth. But it loses its humor when you realize that Yoshi isn't playing, his claws are out—he wants Allie dead.
I love both my cats, but if Yoshi were successful in his evil plan to become an only cat, he'd get caught, brought to trial and spousal privilege might be invoked. I need to be able to testify against him in a court of law for Allie's sake.
2. Yoshi has a twisted sense of humor.
He loves to "fake spray" meaning that he pretends to be peeing on something in order to mark it, but without any urine coming out. We had an actual sprayer once and trust me, it wasn't funny. It was awful and no amount of Nature's Miracle could get the smell out.
Spraying is never funny and neither is making track marks with your ass after using the litter box, but Yoshi thinks they're hysterical. Cats can't laugh but Yoshi can smirk. The ability to laugh together is important for any marriage to work. Yoshi and I just don't get each other's sense of humor.
3. When Yoshi uses the litter box, he proudly stinks up the entire house, forcing his staff (me and my boyfriend) to do an immediate cleaning.
He reminds me of those people who have no problem leaving the bathroom door open while they do their business. I wouldn't marry someone like that either.
4. He's deliberately clumsy.
He once knocked a glass of water all over my computer, ruining it, and didn't even offer to pay for a new one. If knocking stuff off tables was an Olympic sport, he'd have a gold medal. He's just not partner material.

5. Yoshi is the epitome of vain and self-centered.
Sure, he's probably one of the most beautiful cats in the world with his fluffy gray fur and white accent touches on his neck, feet, tummy, and fascinator triangle on his nose. He's pretty spectacular and he knows it. But he's a jerk because of his great beauty and doesn't give other people's feelings a second thought. He has no problem walking over my computer, sticking his furry butt in my face, and eating my hair.
It doesn't matter if I don't like it, he does and he's going to do it. He also insists on scratching the couch, following me into the bathroom (even when I insist I don't need an escort), and then when in the enclosed bathroom space reacts like he's insane and starts to literally bounce off the walls. He's the definition of narcissistic.
6. Yoshi has some fetishes I just can't get into.
Biting for one. I have told him over and over again not to bite, but it doesn't sink in; his sharp teeth are the only things that are sinking in anywhere, and usually in my flesh. He's also into eating plastic, even though by now he must realize that eating plastic (and this includes bread wrappers, plastic ties, bags) equals vomiting and toxic eliminations. He doesn't seem to care.
He also has a fixation with boxes. He loves sleeping, sitting, and playing in them. I'm more of a "Don't box me in" kind of person. I like sleeping in a bed, not in a box perched on top of the bed.
7. I don't think I could be legally tied down with someone as needy and kneady as Yoshi.
He always wants affection, and to be the center of attention. If you are having an affection session with him, it will start out with him kneading you until you bleed. It won't help if you try to steer his claws towards a pillow or blanket, he still manages to target your most sensitive and vulnerable body-parts. The same goes for jumping from or on to you. Men, cover your private parts as they make a perfect springboard for Mr. Yoshi.

8. He doesn't have a job.
Yoshi's day consists of demanding food, eating, pooping the equivalent of three cat's worth, sleeping, sliding on the wood floors, playing, and never once does he go on the Internet or crack open the newspaper to look for a job. And there are actually a lot of jobs he could do: model (he can't take a bad picture if he tried and naturally knows how to America's Next Top Model smize,) artist (his throw-up pieces could rival the British artist Millie Brown's easily), and nurse—sure it may not seem like his walking over your stomach when you just had abdominal surgery is healing, but trust that Nurse Yoshi knows what he's doing.
In the end, Yoshi would rather be a prince than a partner. Besides he refuses to move his tail off the keyboard and won't let me type anything else. Jerk!

What does a Bella Chick look like?
This little number is right up my alley (sorry, I didn't save the source).
I love the fall colors and the lace trim... or maybe it's just the truck.
Probably still too hot for long sleeves anyway.
These babies are $157 at Nordstrom....wooo hooo! Besides Nordstrom won't be open until September 17....Hey! No one will be there 'cause they're gonna be shopping the barn!
How 'bout these lovlies...hand painted Doc Martins compliments of Gypsy Brocante.
I'm also liking a denim dress-the more contemporary cowgirl. Glamerella Junk can put together the look with her gorgeous jewelry creations and maybe one of those vinty slips underneath.
Here is Jill of Gypsy Brocante fame. Love her lace doilie vests and tops, but I'd look pretty goofy in that hat.
Better to sport a cowboy hat to offset all that 'junk in my trunk'!
love me some gloppy jewelry!
Regardless of what I wear, the jewelry is a must.
I love this lacey skirty thingy! That's different, huh?

L.A. Turbine Releases ARES AMB Turboexpander-Compressor with Industry's First Skid-Mounted AMB Control System--First to Market Offering!
VALENCIA, CA., July 12, 2018 --- L.A. Turbine (LAT) today announced the release of the first ARES Active Magnetic Bearing (AMB) turboexpander-compressor designed for a 200MMSCFD gas processing plant. The ARES AMB Turboexpander features the industry's first skid-mounted AMB control system and programmable logic control (PLC) panel, made possible due to engineering and technological innovations resulting from a partnership between L.A. Turbine and Waukesha Magnetic Bearings®. Gas processors immediately benefit from lower CAPEX, faster commissioning, decreased maintenance, greater site layout, temperature and performance flexibility, a smaller footprint, and a more environmentally friendly machine.
Until now, AMB controllers needed to be installed in a building away from the skid installation site. This required additional capital investments, specialist labor costs and time. With the new ARES AMB design, the control system is installed directly on the turboexpander skid and is ready for operation upon delivery to the site. Plus, operators benefit from the ability to perform remote commissioning, monitoring and tuning of machine performance due to the high-tech digital signal processors and control algorithms of the Waukesha Magnetic Bearings Zephyr® 5-Axis Controller. The adoption of magnetic bearings results in lower property, plant and equipment costs overall. Not only are capital costs decreased but future costs diminish due to the elimination of ongoing maintenance for auxiliary systems. Continuing technological advances like the on-skid controller increase the scalability of magnetic bearings to make them more accessible for all customers.
L.A. Turbine's ARES line also includes the ARES Oil Turboexpander-Compressor featuring an oil bearing auxiliary system. Both configurations are standardized, another industry-first, and are designed for gas processing plant capacities of 60/120/200/300MMSCFD. In less than one year, L.A. Turbine engineers took a product concept and delivered the ARES Turboexpander line—engineered, crafted, assembled and tested it—all within the walls of L.A. Turbine's 90,000 square foot manufacturing facility.
Waukesha Magnetic Bearings is an industry leader in custom-engineered magnetic bearing systems for turbomachinery and high-performing rotating equipment in oil and gas, power generation and defense markets. Field-proven hardware designs allow direct immersion in process fluids, often eliminating the need for shaft seals. Third-generation controller technology offers remote commissioning, monitoring, diagnostics and adjustments to reduce operating costs while maintaining near perfect availability. Waukesha Magnetic Bearings is part of Dover Precision Components, an integrated provider of performance-critical solutions for rotating and reciprocating machinery.
L.A. Turbine designs and manufactures application-specific, highly engineered turboexpanders used in hydrocarbon processing, geothermal power generation, industrial power recovery or refrigeration applications. The company is also a recognized leader in aftermarket repair, redesign, maintenance and production of spare parts for all brands and configurations of turboexpanders worldwide. A global field service team provides diagnostic, maintenance and emergency response 24/7/365. Global headquarters are located in Valencia, California with sales and service support in California, Texas and Belgium. U.S. operations support Canada, South America, Asia, Australia and the United States. European headquarters in Belgium serve Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Out of 151 million men in the United States, male pattern baldness affects an estimated 55 million men. By age 35, two out of three American men will start balding. That percentage goes up to 85% by age 50. These are statistics that should make you blink twice.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) is a form of androgenetic alopecia and accounts for 95% of hair loss in men. Despite the fact that hair loss in men is very common, many men who are faced with hair loss feel embarrassment and have low self-esteem. Most men who suffer from MPB are extremely unhappy with their situation and would do anything to change it. It affects interpersonal relationships as well as their professional life. Believe it or not, studies have shown that it is not uncommon for men to change career paths because of hair loss.
Progression of hair loss in a typical "M"-shaped patter.
For years, hair transplant surgery has been one of the main options, but it has its shortcomings. The surgery is expensive and it is difficult to get your insurance company to pay for it. Minoxidil is another alternative, but given its incidence of side effects and the fact that is it not natural, it isn't an ideal solution. A treatment that was widely popular until recent lawsuits involving severe sexual side effects was the prescription drug Finasteride, also known as Propecia. Finally, there is an all-natural solution that is clinically proven to stop hair loss and help regrow hair.
Procerin for Men is an advanced, all-natural product designed to help men reverse the effects of male pattern baldness. Procerin comes in a convenient tablet form and topical foam that are used daily to fight male hair loss. Another ideal aspect of Procerin is that it is also available without a prescription.
Procerin is designed to help target the root cause of male hair loss, which is elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels. Specifically, the natural ingredients in Procerin's advanced formula inhibit the 5 Alpha-Reductase (5AR) enzyme. 5AR is the enzyme responsible for the production of excess DHT. By inhibiting the production of 5AR, Procerin is able to help rejuvenate dormant hair follicles and restore hair growth.
In an IRB Approved Research Study to determine the effect of Procerin on hair loss, a group of participants were instructed to use the Procerin hair loss system for 90 days. After the 90 day period, the research team revealed that Procerin had a 94% success rate and it indeed an effective, nutritional therapy for thinning hair.

West Texas is often forgotten when it comes to road trips in the state. But, you don't want to make that mistake.
Venture away from some of Texas' biggest and most well-known cities in the eastern part of the state, and you'll find not only a change in scenery but also in culture and things to do.
That's what makes exploring worth it, right?
West Texas has so much to offer, and one of the hidden gems in the region is Davis Mountains State Park.
In this post, we're going to dig a little bit deeper into Davis Mountains State Park.
Davis Mountains State Park is part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The park itself is over 2,500 acres of land in the Davis Mountains range which ranges up to about 6,000 feet above sea level.
It was originally targeted as a spot for improvements during the Great Depression. The Civilian Conservation Corps hired men to develop everything from roads and camping areas to restrooms and outbuildings. So they were a big part of the park that you see today!
There's no shortage of things going on in the park. So you can plan on spending just an hour or so hiking a trail or a few days going camping.
Davis Mountains State Park has a variety of camping options. You can drive in and spend a night camping with most of the comforts of home (including water and electric hookups), or you can choose to check out some of the primitive sites. There's also the option to stay at the Indian Lodge, which was one of those CCC projects from the 1930s.
There are multiple trails around the park. One of the most popular is the 4.5-mile Skyline Trail. You can hike or mountain bike these trails. And, if you're an equestrian, there are also 11 miles of horse trails in the park as well.
Texas is a key migration spot for birds, and you don't have to be a professional bird watcher to appreciate it! There are a number of 'bird blinds' scattered all over Davis Mountains State Park. These conveniently allow you to check out the birds and provide a nice resting spot too.
Right next door (literally) to the state park, you'll find the Fort Davis National Historic Site; This was originally built in the mid-1800s as a frontier post for the US Army. You can access the historic site via Route 118, or there's a short hiking trail that runs between the state park and the historic site.
Davis Mountains State Park is not far off of Interstate 10, which runs across the Southern part of the United States. So that makes it a destination spot for those traveling this way for road trips. It's about three hours from El Paso, Midland, and Big Bend National Park.
