Host Your Own Cross-Platform Password Manager With KeePass [XDA Spotlight]
If you're signed up for a bunch of different online websites and services, then you likely juggle a ton of different passwords for many different places. It's commonly known that having the same password for multiple accounts is significantly less secure than choosing a different password for each account. Unfortunately, with this variety and increased security comes the burden of memory. This is precisely why password manager applications have grown in popularity over the years. Currently, there are many cross-platform, cloud-based password-storing solutions, however, few can boast the security of a personally hosted password database, and an open source base, as KeePass can. And it's totally free.
A popular open-source password manager originally made for Windows, KeePass has many variants which facilitate its cross-platform abilities – all of which utilize the encrypted .kdb or .kdbx file extension for password databases. KeePass2Android is a free application which brings KeePass' core features to the Android world – chief among them, the ability to privately host your own key database, on your own computer or server.
KeePass Features and Setup
While KeePass was originally made for Windows, Mac/Linux users can download KeePassX for the same functionality. To see a full list of KeePass variants, visit the official website.
Just like other password-keeping programs, KeePass and its variants have certain requisite features. 256-bit encryption, multi-level verification options, password generating, fingerprint lock, and cross-platform support are among these central functions. Multi-level verification is achieved through the use of "key files" which can be created from most any file. Simply select your file of choice during the database setup and it will be changed to the .key file extension, which denotes its ability to decrypt your database (in combination with your password). This feature, coupled with the user's ability to host an encrypted database on their own PC, server, or cloud storage service, are what set KeePass programs apart.
Hosting the database on a cloud storage platform is as simple as downloading KeePass (or a variant) on a PC or Mac, creating a new key database, and saving the database to any cloud storage of your choice. The same can be done for key files, as well. Now an app such as KeePass2Android on your Android phone can easily access the most up-to-date password database, and do so with two-factor authentication – so long as an Internet connection is available. Without an Internet connection, the app will show the most recent locally-cached version of your database, and update next time it goes online.
If you'd like to utilize your PC, Mac, or server as the database host, then you will have to download a program like FreeSSHD for Windows or configure the built-in SSH server in Mac OS. Both are quick setups, which utilize encrypted transmissions through Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), and both are free. If you're unfamiliar with how to set up SFTP on Windows, follow this link for a quick setup guide. For instructions tailored to Linux machines, visit this link. On Mac, simply open the "sharing" tab in System Preferences, and enable "remote login." Once the SFTP server is set up, you may save your database and key file anywhere on the device and use KeePass2Android to access it via SFTP (or other protocols) when needed.
Auto-fill Lacking
While KeePass2Android does offer auto-fill features just as its desktop counterparts do, its recognition of websites is not yet functional enough to offer passwords quite as fluidly as it should, though hopefully the Autofill Framework in Android O will solve this issue for all password manager apps once and for all. Once logged into the database and with it running in the background, the app should recognize websites for which the user possesses login credentials, and offer these to the user from within the notification center as illustrated below.
As it works right now, unfortunately, it requires a few steps more than simply swiping down the notification center and tapping your credentials. KeePass2Android includes a device keyboard which can be set as your default, or activated only when needed. If not set as the default keyboard, then the steps to "auto-fill" are as follows:
(When on a website asking for login credentials, and the database has been previously unlocked)
Tap in the entry field and switch to the KeePass2Android keyboard (if not already the default)
Hit the password-keeper button on the keyboard and tap "select entry"
Select the relevant credentials in KeePass2Android (the app will auto-switch back to the website)
Tap in the entry field again, the keyboard will come up, but only with the buttons "username" and "password"
Tap the "username" button to fill the username field
Tap the "password" button to fill the password field
In totality, these steps are a minor inconvenience in the endeavor for security, but still an issue of fluidity which apps like Lastpass have avoided. It is important to bear in mind the scale of the team behind a company like Lastpass – which offers premium enterprise-level password-keeping solutions – versus the developer(s) behind KeePass2Android. This is especially important considering that this relatively easy-to-fix annoyance is the only feature Lastpass truly has over KeePass2Android. This caveat aside, Keepass2Android is every bit as packed with features and functionality to fine-tune your preferred level of security, plus the added ability to utilize a key file, and host your own password database.
A More Personal Alternative
Using KeePass2Android in tandem with KeePass or KeePassX is a breeze. Adding passwords on either program elicits almost immediate database updates across both, though a manual refresh is required. Best of all KeePass2Android gives you access to all of KeePass/X's core features, as well as a few extras. Such features include: allowing users to create new databases, generate secure passwords, utilize "key files," and access databases and key files through FTP, SFTP, HTTP/S, local storage, and cloud storage, among others.
Ideally, the key file would reside on a USB flash drive, essentially creating a mobile, physical key to decrypt the user's key database. More practical for mobile devices though, the key may be stored on cloud storage, a remote computer, or anywhere on the device being used to access the database – the location of which is mapped by the user each time the database is opened. This allows the user to leverage any seemingly "random" file as a second-step verification method, regardless of whether the key is saved locally or remotely.
You could even go so far as to purchase a micro-USB or USB-C to full-size USB (USB-A) adapter, and use this to plug in your key file every time you need to access a password, albeit a less practical solution. However impractical this may be, it would offer a level of physical security that is unsurpassed, and nevertheless available as an option when using KeePass2Android.
The combination of KeePass desktop clients and KeePass2Android gives users great password-storing functionality. While providing the best that password managers have to offer in terms of features and customization. This open-source setup ensures great cross-platform support as well as one of the most unique security features provided – its seamless integration of personally-hosted password databases. The option to store databases on more widely accessible cloud platforms such as Onedrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive round out the strengths in user-friendliness. The main complaint in this area being KeePass2Androids failure in creating a properly functional auto-fill – something we hope to see remedied in the near-future with the release of Android O. With this fixed, though, the case to use any other password-keeper becomes quite a tough one to build.
Are you using KeePass or one of it's variants? What do you use for password keeping? Please share in the comments below!

NOA Beta Launch
NOA is a trading card game, but not like others in the space. In fact, it falls deep within the DeFi sub-genre that brought blockchain gaming into the limelight. That is, it's less "gaming" in the traditional sense, and more a new breed of DeFi activity, albeit an oddly satisfying and enjoyable one. The NOA devs refer to the game as an "idle card game" that is like mining, but with cards.
The premise of the game is simple, you build decks with a hero and support cards, and then you enter dungeons to fight. You earn loot in the form of NOA tokens and NFTs as you upgrade your arsenal. NOA's summary of gameplay is:
"Build a deck of 16 hero cards and 10 support cards. When the game starts, 4 random hero cards are placed on the battlefield along with 2 random support cards. Your heroes will battle the enemy cards and every time a hero goes to 0HP, a new one emerges from the draw pile until all 16 are destroyed. The player that still has at least 1 hero card on the battlefield wins. You will receive NOA token as reward and if you are lucky, you will get some rare loot such as shards to upgrade your cards, in-game exclusive heroes, charms, boosters and more, a lot more!" — NOA
NOA is the essence of a Play to Earn, DeFi and blockchain gaming hybrid; some would call it GameFi, but this sub-genre that has put blockchain gaming on the map ought to have its own title. Games like NOA are feeling out the place blockchain games will have in the global economy by creating purpose-built games centered around earning. A new way to generate income through an imaginary job you enjoy. What a time to be alive, eh?

This music has evolved from the block parties in New York to the international concerts. Hip Hop music has originated in 1970s when block parties became popular especially among the African American. Basically, Hip Hop is sub divided into four key elements – MCing/rapping, break dancing, DJing/scratching and graffiti writing. This is more than music, it is a culture. MCing/rapping has become a dominant part in Hip Hop as it evolved.


Anadrol is considered to be the most powerful steroid available by many people, with results of this compound being extremely dramatic. A steroid novice experimenting with oxymetholone is likely to gain 20 to 30 pounds of massive bulk, and it can often be accomplished in less than 6 weeks, with only 50-100mg a day. This steroid produces a lot of trouble with water retention, so let there be little doubt that much of this gain is simply bloat. But for the user this is often little consequence, feeling bigger and stronger on Oxymetholone than any steroid they are likely to cross.
Its primary clinical applications include treatment of osteoporosis and anaemia, as well as stimulating muscle growth in malnourished or underdeveloped patients. The drug was approved for human use by the FDA.
Oxymetholone is highly effective in promoting extensive gains in body mass, mostly by greatly improving protein synthesis. For this reason, it is often used by bodybuilders and athletes.
Appearance: White crystalline powder, odorless. Melting point 173-176 °C (178-180 °C). [Α] D +38 ° (chloroform), not soluble in water, soluble in chloroform, soluble in dioxane, vegetable oil, slightly soluble in ethanol.
It self as an anabolic hormone drugs, can promote protein synthesis and inhibiting protein dysplasia, and can lower blood cholesterol, reduce calcium phosphorus excretion and reduce bone marrow suppression, promoting development, promote tissue freshmen and granulation.
Generally, anadrol only comes in oral form. In the most common form, oxymetholone is 17-Alpha-Alkylated (17aa), meaning it survives the first pass once it hits the liver due to a modification at the 17th carbon position. In simple terms, you can take it orally without worrying about absorption or loss of product.
For men, dosages are usually 50-100 milligrams (mgs) per day, and it's usually stacked with other wet bulking steroids like testosterone and deca durabolin.


It was their sophomore album, though, that saw them blasting into homes across the globe. 'The House that Dirt Built' was everything a second album should be: a deeper, richer progression from the band's early work. It also yielded the mighty 'How You Like Me Now?' The single was licensed for a major commercial in the 3rd Quarter of the Superbowl (the biggest ad slot in the world) and quite simply went stratospheric.
The answer was 2012's 'The Glorious Dead,' the band's third album. Searching for inspiration, The Heavy – which in addition to Taylor and Swaby includes Spencer Page (bass) and Chris Ellul (drums) – travelled from their Bath, England hometown to Columbus, Georgia. There, they hooked up with local gospel singers and musicians for some Southern Gothic sublimity.
The final magic ingredient in the mix was Gabriel "Bosco Mann" Roth of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, who added string and horn parts to four songs.
Even deeper, a touch darker, and with shades of Southern Gothic infesting the swampy rock n' soul of previous records, the album was another giant step forward, Frankensteining swampy voodoo and b-movie zombies with garage rock and Gospel-soaked soul.
From afar, it looks, feels, and sounds like witchcraft.
A Halloween-consumed alternative outlaw whose tastes veer from Merle Haggard to Beach House, Los Angeles singer and songwriter Jesse Jo Stark most definitely knows her roots, but she's purely a product of tomorrow. How many modern musical upstarts could share a Teen Vogue cover alongside Bella Hadid and then jet to Prague to open for Guns N' Roses? Truth is, she's not just an outlier for her generation; she's a timeless iconoclast.
That fact is evidenced in the most telling way possible—her playlist.
After picking up guitar at eleven, handwriting songs in an endless array of notebooks, and slaying her first gigs by 16, the self-described "West Side Chick" built a quiet buzz with 2016 and 2017 songs such as "Down Your Drain" and "Driftwood" produced by Jason Lytle [Grandaddy, Band of Horses producer] and co-written alongside Jonathan Rice. As these cuts captivated a growing fan base, she earned the endorsement of Elle, Interview Magazine, Vice, American Songwriter, Noisey, and many others in between headline shows around her city.
Jesse Jo's 2017 single "Deadly Doll" hints at her otherworldly je ne sais quoi equally awash in rusty twang and indie gothic soul informed by a lifelong love of Bride of Frankenstein and The Addams Family. It's the perfect way to get to know the rock sorceress.
It's also a springboard for a host of new music and many more shows. Jesse Jo kicks off her next phase with a month-long Echo residency in Los Angeles.

Add Kansas City, MO to the growing number of jurisdictions choosing to "ban the box." On February 1, 2018, city council passed legislation that restricts employers from asking about and using criminal history to help make hiring decisions.
View the complete ordinance here.
This ordinance, which applies to private employers with six or more employees, becomes effective June 9, 2018. Kansas City government adopted policy for most city employees in 2014 while the state of Missouri established a similar ban for hiring state employees in 2016.
Employers are prohibited from inquiring about a candidate's criminal history until it has been determined the candidate is within the "final selection pool of candidates," and only after they've conducted an interview with the candidate. The ordinance does not apply to positions where employers are required to exclude applicants with certain criminal convictions due to federal, state, local law or regulations.
Employers with candidates who live or work in Kansas City should assess whether the new ordinance impacts them. Employers affected by the ordinance should review and revise policies and procedures accordingly.

In a perfect world, you wouldn't need to wear headphones in the studio. You'd be in the control room in front of a pair of studio monitor speakers, tearing off a blistering guitar solo through a massive amp stack miked up out in the live room.
Back to reality: Inspiration has struck at 11:30 p.m. on a school night, and now you're sitting in front of your laptop, hoping your downstairs neighbor can't hear you humming along as you try to pick out the chords you're hearing in your head. In reality, headphones are a must-have tool for music and audio production — you need them to be able to hear yourself, your fellow performers, and the other tracks you've laid down.
So, what do the pros use? Watch our video interview with music producers Joe Dilillo and Joshua Staar at Solid Sound Recording to get their thoughts on the best headphones for studio monitoring, from the AKG K240 headphones for recording vocals, to the Shure SRH840s when headphone bleed is a concern, to the Audio-Technica ATH-M20x headphones that can stand up to wear and tear in the live room.
Q: What do you look for in a pair of headphones?
Joe Dilillo: First and foremost, it depends on what the application is. If it's for mix reference, then obviously I want something that is true — I look for something that isn't really hyped up, that has a relatively flat response. In terms of client use, durability and price are probably the two biggest factors, because in a commercial studio environment headphones have a tendency to break more frequently than if you're using them in your own personal studio. You can't be buying $300 pairs of headphones knowing that they're going to be broken within a month.
Q: Do you recommend using headphones for mixing?
Dilillo: I do both extremes when using headphones for mixing. I'll use something that's a little higher-end, that rivals a really good set of near-field monitors, and I'll use a pair of $25 earbuds — because more often than not that's what people are going to be listening to the mix on.
Q: What are your favorite pairs of headphones?
Joshua Staar: [pointing out AKG K240 headphones] These ones are the classics.
Dilillo: Yeah, the AKG K240s.
Closed-backs are great, especially with a drummer when you kind of have to be enveloped by the click and what's going on in the track, but I don't think the vocalist can get a really good sense of pitch and performance if the headphones are closed-back — it kind of feels other-worldly.
Joshua Staar: We record a lot of choirs and people really like [AKG K240 headphones] because they can hear a bit of the other people, where if it had been totally closed it's a little harder. With these being open-back, they are a little lower gain, and so if you are doing something like an intimate vocal performance and you have to have a click or some other instrument in there that bleeds through [into the mic], they're not always the best choice.
Dilillo: The Shure SRH 840s — I think are really great headphones in a couple of respects. Number one, they sound really good — they're comfortable to wear; they're closed-back, so click bleed is not much of a concern with these.
Staar: They sound excellent — I'd also say that if you're singing, you really want to hear all the nuance in your voice and these headphones allow you to do that. There's minimum bleed, so you can pump the volume up as much as you want.
Dilillo: And just as important — price-wise, they're not exorbitantly expensive. They're not cheap, but they're not gonna break your bank account either.
Staar: So this is a new pair we got recently — the Audio-Technica ATH-M20X. One of the best points about this is that it has a metal frame. And so if we know the clients are going to be a little bit more, you know, aggressive with the headphones (and some are), I'll give them these because they can stretch 'em, and it's not going to break.
Dilillo: And again…the price point is good, they're relatively cheap, in case they break or we're in a situation where we have a large ensemble coming in and we need to buy six more pairs.
Staar: We have a couple pairs of these [Audio-Technica ATH-M20X], and they've really stood up.
With studio headphones, isolation and bleed are your most important considerations. Closed-back vs. open-back designs make a big difference in how well headphones isolate. Read on to learn what these terms mean.
Sennheiser HD280s are closed-back headphones with excellent isolation.
Sometimes simply called "closed" headphones, this term refers to the design of the back of the earcup — the part of the headphone behind the speaker driver. Closed headphones are sealed and insulated to prevent sound from leaking out, so they almost always deliver better isolation and less bleed than open-back cans. The trade-off is that the design causes pressure to accumulate inside the headphone, causing false low frequencies. Because of this, closed-back headphones are regarded as less accurate for critical listening, but they're still indispensable in the studio for how well they isolate.
Open-back headphones (and their cousins, semi-open-back headphones) are also known as open-air headphones, since they allow air to pass freely in and out of the back of the cups. Instead of a sealed wood or plastic covering, these headphones typically have a grille or perforations on the back of the earcup, and you may even be able to see the headphone driver inside. These headphones can provide a quite different listening experience: instead of sealing you off from the outside world, they can give you a feeling of being in your environment, much like listening to a pair of speakers in the open air in front of you. Open-back and semi-open headphones are generally regarded as the most natural-sounding and accurate headphones out there. But because they let some sound escape into the air around you, they can be impractical for recording using microphones.
Acoustic isolation refers to how well the headphones keep external sounds "out," and how well they keep your headphone mix "in." Some headphones can reduce outside sounds by some 30 decibels, while preventing the the sound coming through the 'phones from escaping into the recording microphone. Acoustic isolation is key when recording vocals, acoustic instruments and drums. If you need excellent isolation, look for closed-back, circumaural/over-ear headphones with thickly padded earcups that seal against your ears. Keep in mind that this sound isolation isn't active noise-cancelling — it's passive isolation.
The better headphones isolate, the more they avoid bleed — the sound from the headphones leaking out into the air around you. If you're sitting next to someone on the train whose headphones don't have good isolation, you'll know it. In the studio, headphone bleed creates bigger problems, especially when you're recording vocals. Picture a singer wearing headphones in front of a mic. The headphones are close to the microphone, so if you've got a click track in your headphone mix — or any other track, for that matter — you run the risk of it being picked up by your vocal mic. That can cause all sorts of problems in mixing, especially for vocals performed quietly. That's one reason why it's important for studio headphones to isolate well.
Below are some frequently asked questions about studio monitor headphones. Click a question to see its answer.
What are the best headphones for recording vocals?
Choosing headphones for a vocalist is all about finding a balance between isolation and comfort. A pair of semi-open-back headphones can be the happy medium that provide well-balanced sound at at the right price. In a perfect world, you'd be able to record vocals with a pair of high-quality open-back headphones, since high-end open-backs generally provide the most natural, honest, accurate frequency balance — helping singers stay in tune.
However, there's a trade-off: since open-back headphones don't provide as much isolation as closed-back headphones, they're much more susceptible to bleed, which means you'll need to keep your headphone volume much lower if you're rocking open-back 'phones while recording vocals. It's a good idea to have a few different pairs available for a vocalist to choose from. If you're getting too much bleed with semi-open-back headphones, you'll need to switch to closed-back headphones.
What are the best headphones for recording a choir or vocal group?
Open-back or semi-open headphones help each singer hear a bit of the other singers around them — just like they're used to hearing in rehearsals and performances. With group vocals, singers are often farther away from the microphone(s) than they would be when recording solo, so bleed is much less of an issue.
Why record vocals with one ear on, and one ear off?
Wearing headphones can be a disorienting experience for a singer — especially if you're not used to hearing yourself coming through the cans. This feeling can cause a singer to deliver a weak performance that's under pitch or lacking in energy. That's why some vocalists prefer to wear one earcup while keeping the other completely off. If you're working with a singer who prefers to monitor one-sided, try to set up a mono headphone mix for them on a separate bus that's completely panned to the single ear they've chosen to keep "on." This way, the vocalist will hear all the mix elements, and the ear they're not wearing won't leak out into the room and get picked up by the microphone.
What are the best headphones for recording acoustic guitar and other acoustic instruments?
Anytime you're recording an acoustic instrument with a microphone, headphone bleed can be an issue. So closed-back, over-ear headphones with good isolation are your best bet for avoiding bleed.
Best headphones for recording drums?
Unless you've got bagpipes in the studio, drums are likely the loudest acoustic instrument you'll be recording on any given session. In order to hear their fellow musicians, backing track, "ghost" track, or metronome click, a studio drummer will need headphones that isolate very well. In fact, there are specific sound-isolating headphones for drummers that look very much like the ear protection shooters wear on a gun range, designed to seal tightly around your ears and provide extreme isolation so the drummer can hear their headphone mix over the sound of their own instrument in the room.
Best headphones for recording electric guitar or bass?
You have a lot of flexibility here. If you're recording electric guitar or bass "direct," headphone bleed is a non-issue — you can use open-back headphones, closed-back headphones, or simply listen through studio monitor speakers. If you have the luxury of a separate control room and live room, you can skip the headphones entirely by just miking up the amp in the other room. But if you're playing in the same room with your amplifier, you'll need a pair of headphones loud enough and with enough isolation that you can hear the mix over your amp. With a microphone right up on the grille of your amp, headphone bleed usually won't be a problem — but if you're right next to a screaming-loud amp stack, you may prefer to use headphones with plenty of isolation because they'll help you hear the headphone mix in addition to your amp.
If you must do actual mixing and mastering in headphones, your best bet is a pair of audiophile-worthy open-back reference headphones. Open-air headphones are great for those long mixing sessions because they don't put much pressure on your head, so you can wear them for hours.
If your budget limits you to one pair of all-purpose headphones, we recommend a pair of high-quality closed-back cans — they're just more versatile than open-backs. However, if you can afford two pairs of headphones, grab a pair of semi-open or open-back headphones in addition to your closed-backs.
Finally, it's important to point out that studio monitor speakers exist for a reason — you'll be able to make better mix decisions when you're moving air out in a room. While it's always a good idea to check your mixes on all sorts of playback devices — including car stereos and earbuds — your studio monitor speakers are your best tools for EQing and placing elements within the stereo field. In the professional studio, headphones are primarily a tool for tracking, and secondly a tool for troubleshooting, testing, and repairing gear.
How do I break in a new pair of headphones?
See below for our guide to breaking in your new headphones.
Studio monitor headphones vs. audiophile headphones -- what's the difference?
Studio monitor headphones are generally more durable, while audiophile headphones tend to be more luxurious. Audiophile headphones are for the home hi-fi enthusiast listening in a controlled environment, so they're more likely to be made with delicate materials like sheepskin leather, velour, and hard-to-find woods. On the other hand, studio monitor headphones must be tough enough to be stuffed into a laptop bag and kicked around by a bands on a recording session, so they're more likely to have practical features like folding earcups and a single-ear cord.
Sound-wise, high-end studio monitor headphones and high-end audiophile headphones can be quite similar. If you're working solo in your studio, a pair of reference-quality audiophile headphones will probably serve you well for monitoring your mixes. But if you're looking for several pairs of tracking-room headphones to pass out to the band that's coming in to record, you're better off picking up some entry-level studio headphones.
Studio headphones can range from relatively inexpensive tracking-room headphone that bigger studios purchase in bulk, to your prized pair of audiophile-grade reference headphones you can use for mastering.
These bang-for-the-buck headphones are time-tested classics in the recording studio. Sennheiser HD280 headphones offer excellent isolation, which makes them great for most studio recording tasks where bleed could be an issue. Although Sony MDR7506 headphones are known for being a touch bright in the high-end, they're a staple in many recording studios, radio stations, and location sound recordists' kits. Metal hinges and replaceable earpads make them durable, and they fold flat for transport. And if you want the more natural, detailed sound of semi-open-back headphones, AKG K240 headphones are a recording-studio fixture.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50x headphones have earned their stellar reputation as the most popular model from A-T's venerable M series. If you're strapped for cash and need lots of headphones, the M20x, M30x and M40x have their place. However, the M50x is a classic studio workhorse for a reason — its larger 45mm drivers give you extended response and solid lows.
From the "you get what you pay for" file, we'd like to shout out Shure SRH940 headphones. With upgraded drivers and a more comfortable headband and earpads, these foldable closed-back cans are even better than Shure's super-popular SRH440 and SRH840 models.
And if you haven't tried a pair of fully open-back studio monitor cans, you owe it to yourself to check out Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X headphones. These open-air cans feel incredibly light on your head, and they deliver supremely natural sound that feels like it belongs in the space around you — not inside your head. If you do production work in an apartment where you can't crank up your monitor speakers for fear of disturbing the neighbors, mixing in these headphones is the next best thing. While open-backs may have too much bleed to be useful for serious vocal recording, the ATH-AD900X headphones are a joy to wear plugged into a keyboard instrument as you practice singing along — you'll be able to hear your voice much more clearly than you would with isolating closed-back headphones.
In the high-end price range, there's quite a bit of overlap with what you might call "audiophile" headphones, although some pro headphone makers avoid that term when attempting to appeal to the studio professional rather than the hobbyist home hi-fi listener.
If you require closed-back cans for monitoring while tracking, Shure SRH-1540 headphones are some of the best for their accuracy and comfort.
In the open-back category, Sennheiser HD600 headphones and Audio-Technica ATH-R70X headphones are time-tested favorites that you can trust for critical listening. However, since they have very high impedance — 300-ohm impedance for the Sennheiser HD600, and 470-ohm impedance for the ATH-R70X — you may not want to plug them directly into your portable device's or laptop's headphone port. These cans will sound best if you use the headphone out on your audio interface or a dedicated headphone amp.
What does it mean to "break in" or "burn in" a new pair of headphones — and how do I do it?
First, a vocabulary lesson: although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, "breaking in" and "burning in" aren't the same thing. "Burn-in" is the practice of running power through brand-new electrical components for an extended period of time to detect flaws, with the idea that if a component is going to go bad, it will happen within the first hours or days of its life.
"Breaking in," on the other hand, is a mechanical process that requires movement — like stretching brand-new guitar strings, or walking in a brand-new pair of shoes.
Your new headphones arrive from the manufacturer with speaker drivers that are over-tensioned on purpose, so they'll "relax" just a small amount in the first day or two of use. When you first unbox your new 'phones, they may sound slightly more harsh than they ought to. Once they're "broken in," your headphones' drivers will vibrate more freely — and maintain the proper tension for several years.
Whether headphones actually require "burning in" or "breaking in" has been a source of much debate among audiophiles. Some listeners (and headphone manufacturers) claim that headphones don't start to sound their best until they've been used for tens or even hundreds of hours. Others claim that this is simply a placebo effect. Whether or not your headphones actually benefit from the break-in process, it certainly won't hurt to play music through them at a medium-loud listening level for 24-48 hours. Don't play straight pink noise or white noise — you want your drivers moving around, bumping to music that's tonally varied and dynamic.
Cue up a playlist of jazz, classical or world music at a nice healthy level, and let your headphones sit on your studio desk for a day and night. They won't be any worse for the wear — and they may well sound better and more accurate, with smoother frequency extension in the highs and lows.
Great article about studio monitoring headphones! Very comprehensive and informative. I personally think that the Audio Technica ATH-M50x are the best monitoring headphones on the market. They're not as expensive as premium mixing headphones, but their performance is just as great as the more expensive ones. Even this website http://studiomonitoringheadphones.com/best-studio-monitoring-headphones/ considers it the best open-back studio monitoring headphones. I've tried other headphone monitors but I haven't found anything that provides a better performance than the ATH-M50x. I do like the Sennheisers, though. They come close to the ATH-M50x but they're still a bit lacking imo.
What's up, fellow Maya? The ATH-M50x are definitely a favorite here at zZounds, but remember — they're CLOSED-back, not open-back. Thanks for reading our buying guide!
Ooopss I meant to say closed-back. And you're welcome, fellow Maya!
The "breaking-in" process is a placebo effect. If you've been listening on one pair of headphones for quite some time, your ears will be adjusted to hearing those dynamics and that frequency response, but when you start listening with new headphones, your ears need time to adjust to the new sound. Although the sound may be a very slight difference, your ears will notice. People think this change in sound over time only happens when you wear new headphones for a while, but this happens even if you use old and well-used headphones.
Senn HD 280s are a great choice! For the money, you can't go wrong with those. We've got a pair kicking around the zZounds HQ that have taken some abuse over the years, and are now held together with gaff tape. They just won't quit.

Screedflo dB system is supplied by one material supplier and one installer - Floating floors comprise of up to 4 material suppliers and 2 installers, greatly increasing the likely hood of system failure or labour related failures.
Screedflo dB creates monolithic floor slab with much greater point, UDL and edge loadings - Floating floors rely heavily on acoustic battens and multi layer make-ups leading to lower loading ability.
Screedflo dB offers a minimum C30/F5 screed solution capable of accepting all floor finishes without issue - Floating timber can require specialist treatment for vinyl/tiled solutions and can be problematic long term due to increased flexibility, settlement and movement.
Screedflo dB does require a drying time for the screed prior to coverings but this is in line with second fix - Whilst their is no drying required the install time of floating floor is by far greater often resulting in similar install times.
Screedflo dB Offers a more robust and durable floor with a concrete feel to timber frame - Floating floors can degrade over time due to degradation of the plasterboard layer and compressible foams.
Screedflo dB has been fully tested and the system was approved and certified by BM Trada - Composite systems will have not been tested for these aspects and will be at the client and specifiers discretion.
Screedflo dB can eliminate various acoustic bridging issues associated with floating floors.
Screedflo dB can accommodate UFH in the screed layer without detriment to acoustic performance.
Acoustic data is for the complete system rather than acoustic data being supplied by the batten supplier allowing for various components.
In the past specifications have moved away from the Screedflo acoustic floor system to floating floor due to a lack of understanding around the engineering, costs or installation process. As you can see their are various benefit to the builder and client and if done correctly there is no major up lift in cost when all points are considered.


The importance of the aura, the metaphysical element that gives art, artifacts, and other objects of cultural heritage their authenticity, has been heavily contemplated ever since the publication of Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction." This thesis strives to add to this conversation and expand upon it by delving into the emergence of additive manufacturing, or what is more commonly known as 3D printing, and its relation to museums and other institutions that comprise the public humanities. This technology challenges the auratic properties of an exhibit by first digitizing it onto a computer by scanning it and then uploading this data to a 3D printer, which then proceeds to replicate the scanned exhibit down to incredibly fine details. For museums the possibility that 3D printed replicas, increasingly able to be indistinguishable from the original and capable of being produced in great numbers at ease, replacing their auratic exhibits is a very real possibility to consider. This thesis argues that some museums are responding by despatializing their exhibitions in order to uphold their auratic exhibits, while others are offsetting the potential loss by turning their exhibitions into tactile, multisensory experiences. Either option, which are not mutually exclusive, transforms the traditional museum. This thesis ultimately concludes that it's possible to reconcile the auratic exhibit with the 3D printed replica should these institutions properly adapt. Doing so will allow them to continue fulfilling their mission statements to preserve and promote the auratic exhibits well into the future.


This was a cold one, but OH SO CUTE! I shot this family session the second weekend of November in Rocky Mountain National Park up in Estes Park, Colorado—one of the most beautiful places to visit! Winter time can be a challenge up at the park due to windy, ever-changing mountain conditions and snow! We lucked out and missed the big storm by ONE day!
Since it was so chilly, we kept everyone especially the baby, bundled up in jackets and coats but so worth it! I actually think the winter gear adds lots of character to the photos and makes them even more memorable—perfect to go along with "Remember When..." stories after the kids are grown. The kids loved exploring and playing in the grassy valley, so they were too distracted to worry about the weather (I thought about running along after them to stay warm!) This family was so precious and all smiles throughout the session, even baby girl—she was too cute for words in her snowsuit!!
Moraine Park (inside RMNP) is about a two-hour drive from Highlands Ranch. If shooting out there, we recommend staying in one of the many cabins at least one night so you aren't stressed for time and can spend time exploring! The shorter days leave less time for commuting, and the park is too beautiful to not explore.
Since it was a little bit of a trip, I scheduled a couple family shoots for that weekend, and it was a blast—I cannot wait to head back out again!
As a premier Estes Park family session photographer, I would love to help you fill your gallery wall with timeless memories and precious moments. Let's chat!

Minus the Bear
Infinity Overhead (2012)
Dangerbird Records
Reviewer Tori Pederson
Despite their overcast, rainy home base, the music of Seattle, Wash.'s Minus the Bear is tailor-made for summer. It's a bit of a shame that Infinity Overhead, the group's fifth long-player, is being released at the tail end of August, as the bulk of it feels like the soundtrack to a hot June night. At this point in their career, Minus the Bear are reliable professionals, and Infinity Overhead doesn't offer much in the way of surprises, but it manages to capture the essence of the several musical routes they've taken in the past, combining them into a well-rounded, if not absolutely essential listening experience.
Kickstarting the proceedings is "Steel and Blood," one of the most direct pop/rock songs the group has ever penned. If ever a Minus the Bear track had a chance to conquer rock radio, this would be it. It's got all the hallmarks of classic Minus the Bear, twinkling guitar loops and lyrics about making sweet, sweet love intact, but with an accessibility not felt in early works like debut full-length Highly Refined Pirates.
From there, however, Infinity Overhead plays like something of a greatest hits album, touching on many of the styles the group have tried their hand at over the years. The synths of Infinity Overhead's somewhat divisive predecessor OMNI rear their head on many of the album's 10 tracks. On that album, they were trying something new. Sometimes it worked ("Into the Mirror" stands tall amongst the group's best material) and sometimes it didn't (most of the other tracks). On Infinity Overhead, the group integrates the synths into their music much more seamlessly.
Infinity Overhead should contain something for just about anyone who's ever been into a Minus the Bear record. Mid-album standout "Empty Rooms" is a lovelorn, mellow beach jam that wouldn't be out of place on 2005's outstanding Menos El Oso. Even the acoustic guitars featured prominently on the band's aptly named 2008 EP Acoustics make an appearance in the form of "Listing." Dave Knudson's dizzying guitar pyrotechnics, a staple of their early work, make a triumphant return on show-stopping album closer "Cold Company." It's the most energetic song on Infinity Overhead, and arguably the best song Minus the Bear has written since 2005.
So while Infinity Overhead might not reach the same towering heights as the group's first three full-lengths, it is their best album in quite some time, and contains a few barnburners all but guaranteed to become live staples. No matter which era of Minus the Bear tickles your fancy most, if you've ever been a fan, there's something for you on Infinity Overhead.

Mouawad Group Buys 51.38-Carat Main Diamond from ALROSA's Dynasty Collection
The total revenue from the sale of the Dynasty collection amounted to about US$10 million.
Aug 4 2018 10:21AM
ALROSA, the world's leader in diamond mining, has sold at a public auction the Dynasty diamond - a 51.38-carat round stone, the central diamond in the same-name collection. The total revenue from the sale of the Dynasty collection amounted to about US$10 million.
ALROSA held an auction for the sale of the Dynasty diamond at its own electronic trading platform on August 2, 2018.The Dynasty stone, a 51.38-carat traditional round brilliant-cut diamond, D colour (colorless), VVS1 clarity (with no inclusions), is the purest of all large diamonds manufactured throughout the Russian jewellery history. Following the auction, it has officially become the most expensive stone ever sold by ALROSA.
The Dynasty collection consisted of five diamonds manufactured from a 179-carat rough diamond. It took a year and a half to create the collection. The collection was manufactured by experts from the cutting and polishing division of the Company - DIAMONDS ALROSA branch.
In November 2017, ALROSA held the first auction for the sale of the collection. Four of five stones were sold at this auction, the excess of final prices over reserve prices averaged about 30 per cent.
"We are happy to announce the successful sale of the whole Dynasty collection. For ALROSA it was the first experience of creating our own collection of diamonds, of a road show in different countries worldwide, and of the sale at an electronic platform. Today we can finally say that this experience has become a success for the Company. The total revenue from the sale of the Dynasty collection amounted to about US$10 million, which is in line with our initial estimates. We will keep on working and introducing new diamond collections to the market," said ALROSA CEO Sergey IVANOV.
The Mouawad Group has acquired the 51.38-cts Dynasty. Fred & Pascal Mouawad, Co-Guardians, said "We're very proud of this important acquisition. We will add it to our repertoire of historic diamonds. What attracted us to the Dynasty is not only its exceptional quality but the transparency of its history and the fact it's the largest and most valuable diamond ever sold by ALROSA. It's a rare gem with a remarkable record."

The Sapsucker
Usually I only see Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers in the shade as they make their way quickly around the trees, but this male stayed out in the sunshine eating persimmons, long enough for me to get a few pictures. They're blurrier than I would like, but they show the red feathers on crown and chin well.
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Sphyrapicus varius.
Going after persimmons.
I love what Anna Botsford Comstock has to say about these birds:
The sapsucker is a woodpecker that has strayed from the paths of virtue; he has fallen into temptation by the wayside, and instead of drilling a hole for the sake of the grub at the end of it, he drills for drink. He is a tippler, and sap is his beverage; and he is also fond of the soft, inner bark. He often drills his holes in regular rows and thus girdles a limb or a tree, and for this is pronounced a rascal by men who have themselves ruthlessly cut from our land millions of tress that should now be standing. It is amusing to see a sapsucker take his tipple, unless his saloon happens to be one of our prized young trees. He uses his bill as a pick and makes the chips fly as he taps the tree, then he goes away and taps another tree. After a time he comes back and holding his beak close to the hole for a long time seems to be sucking up the sap; he then throws back his head and "swigs" it down with every sign of delicious enjoyment…However, the sapsucker does not live solely on sap; he also feeds upon insects whenever he can find them.
…The sapsuckers spend the winter in the southern states where they drill wells in white oak and other trees. From Virginia to northern New York and New England, where they breed, they are seen only during migration, which occurs in April; then the birds appear two and three together and are very bold in attacking shade trees, especially the white birch.
Leading Thought — The sapsucker has a red cap, a red bib, and a yellow breast; it is our only woodpecker that does injury to trees. We should learn to distinguish it from the downy and the hairy, as the latter are among the best bird friends of the trees.
Observation 4. How can you distinguish the sapsucker from the other woodpeckers? How have the hairy and downy which are such good friends of the trees been made to suffer for the sapsucker's sins? (pp. 74, 75)
Now Mrs. Comstock first published these words in 1911– the copyright was renewed in 1939, and my version of the book was printed in 1957. It's interesting to me that she viewed these birds as injuring trees and committing sins. I don't have a science background, but I can figure out that as migratory woodpeckers, sapsuckers don't have a lot of time to damage individual trees.
I checked my ten other bird guides (I am not exaggerating), and none of them express any concern about sapsuckers damaging trees. One writer says, "A pair of sapsuckers might drill a number of sites within their forest territory. The wells fill with sweet, sticky sap that attracts insects; the sapsuckers then make their rounds, eating both the trapped bugs and the pooled sap…Species such as hummingbirds, kinglets, warblers, and waxwings also benefit from the wells made by Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, especially when flying insects, fruit and nectar are rare."* So these days we realize that they have their benefits.
But while Comstock's judging the "morality" of wild creatures seems dated, her image of the bird as a tippler will always stay with me, and help me remember and differentiate this species from others.

Iron Mike statue gets an overdue spit shine | Hilton Head Island Packet
Iron Mike statue gets an overdue spit shine
Ted Monnich, an art preservation specialist from Columbia, works on Iron Mike earlier this month at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The 85-year-old statue received a $13,000 makeover to remove mold and oxidization that was damaging the monument.
Bearing the marks and scars of an 80-year battle with the elements, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island's most famous monument was long overdue for a makeover.
Iron Mike, formerly named the Parris Island Memorial, was dedicated in July 1924 in memory of Parris Island Marines killed in World War I. Created by sculptor Robert Ingersoll Aitken, the 12-foot bronze sculpture -- depicting a Marine with a machine gun slung over his shoulder and a .45-caliber pistol raised high over his head -- has sat at the end of Boulevard de France since being relocated in 1941, an icon of Parris Island and the Marine Corps.
Since it was installed, the depot has given Iron Mike an occasional wash with soap and water but nothing on the scale of the work performed earlier this month by a Columbia art preservation specialist.
Brig. Gen. James B. Laster, the depot'scommanding general, instructed his staff last year to look into ways to help Iron Mike clean up his act. The statue had a layer of mold on it, and the bronze had oxidized, leaving yellow streaks on the surface of the monument.


Pages - Why do road traffic accidents happen?
Why do road traffic accidents happen?
Speeding and inadequate orientation are the most frequent explanations of why road traffic accidents occur. This is the conclusion of the overall analysis of the 291 serious road traffic accidents which the Danish Road Traffic Accident Investigation Board (AIB) has analyzed in depth over the past 13 years.
High speed and poor orientation mistakes each contribute to up to half of the investigated accidents.
Other mistakes by road users also contribute to accidents taking place: Inattention, interpretation mistakes, incorrect reaction and alcohol are all contributing factors to the accidents.
Most of the accidents could have been avoided, if the road users had not made mistakes. This does not mean that traffic safety can only be improved by influencing road users directly. Through improved vehicles and better roads it is often possible to prevent road users making mistakes and thereby prevent road traffic accidents from happening.
It is not only human factors that make accidents happen. Mistakes regarding roads/surroundings contribute to approximately every third of the analyzed accidents, and failed conditions regarding vehicles contribute to approximately every fifth accident.
The overall analysis also shows which conditions most frequently worsen the personal injuries.
The most frequent of these conditions are lack of seatbelt and trees along the road.

Michael Gove's daughter given 'special permission' for coronavirus test
Michael Gove's daughter was given special permission for a coronavirus test. Picture: PA
By Kate Buck
@katebuck96
The daughter of Cabinet Minister Michael Gove was granted "special permission" to be tested for coronavirus - despite thousands of NHS workers having to wait.
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster was first questioned about the matter after being spotted out in public jogging on Easter Sunday after his 17-year-old daughter began showing symptoms just six days before.
Under current government rules anyone in self-isolation should take exercise within their home, and Mr Gove should have been in self-isolation for at least 14 days after his daughter became symptomatic.
His spokesperson said Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty granted special permission for her to be tested just 24 hours after first showing symptoms.
It is reported Mr Gove told Mr Whitty that by testing her, he would be able to return to work despite him working from home for a number of weeks - just as tens of thousands are doing across the rest of the nation.

According to MailOnline, she was then tested on Tuesday and the results came back on Wednesday afternoon.
Defending his actions, Mr Gove said "household isolation rules no longer applied to the family" after she tested negative for the virus.
The news has angered those calling for more testing to be carried out, especially for frontline NHS staff who are either unwell at home and having to self isolate, or those who may be carrying it and unknowingly passing it onto patients.
Testing in the UK is not currently widespread, and patients are only being tested after being admitted to hospital.
NHS staff are now able to go to drive-thru testing centres across the UK.
In a statement on Monday, the Prime Minister's spokesperson said 42,812 NHS staff and their families have been tested and testing capacity as a whole has increase to 18,000 a day.
So far 38 NHS frontline workers have died from coronavirus.
Among those criticising Mr Gove was Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan, who said: "Is it one rule for you and another for nurses, doctors, surgeons and others who are having to self isolate for two weeks in exactly that circumstance."
He added: "This is what we want for everybody on the frontline, the ability to test them immediately, so if they're negative they can get on with their lives and go back to work."
Across the UK, there have so far been 282,374 people in total who have been tested - of which 84,279 tested positive.


Sonam Gupta has taken the internet by storm, again. She made headlines in August this year initially, but is now back after PM Modi announced the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes. We bring to you her story.
If you are active on social media you would have, by now, come across a tattered 10 rupee note on which "Sonam Gupta bewafa hai (Sonam Gupta is unfaithful) " is written.
A jilted lover once wrote these words on the note, possibly to warn people about Gupta, the unfaithful. The note travelled miles, moved to different cities, and finally reached some fellow who clicked a photo of it and put it up on the internet.
Sonam Gupta became an internet sensation in August earlier this year. She became the face of betrayal, and the internet despised her. On one side 'Sonam Gupta's protested stereotyping, and on the other, mostly men, empathised with the dejected lover.
As prime minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on November 8, when beloved currency notes ditched the possessors, Sonam Gupta reappeared and is taking the internet by storm again.
Her story has moved on from a torn note to freshly released Rs 2,000 notes to coins and has even reached the moon.
There is also this image of a 100 rupee note that is going viral, for it has Sonam's reply.
Over 88,013 people on Facebook are talking about Ms Gupta and over 27,145 people are searching "Sonam Gupta bewafa hai".
Sonam Gupta was just another girl you meet in colllege, except she was not. She was not the most beautiful, going by the beauty standards set the society — tall, fair, lean — but had something about her that drove people to her. She was one of those who walked with her head held high.
Like in almost all Bollywood stories, there was a hapless chap who fell madly in love with Sonam. He was the "Raanjhana" to her. She was the woman of his dreams, future mother to his children.
But, to him, Sonam's consent never mattered.
Like Bollywood taught us, even with the latest Karan Johar directorial where Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan, both victims of unrequited love, that the hero, whether the heroine wants or not, should end up with her.
With the power of "ek tarfa pyaar (one-sided love)", the Raanjhana proclaimed his love for Sonam. He did everything he thought was right — from red roses to rhymes to a shaky voice and teary eyes — and it never occurred to him once that things could do terribly wrong.
Sonam said no. She politely turned down his love for her with a smile of her face but stern voice. Romeo, aloof to the idea of a woman saying no, refused to give up. She was playing hard-to-get kind, he thought. So he did what he thought was right, again.
Then came letters written in blood, then came photos of slit wrists, then came drunken calls from the man, pleading with Sonam to accept his true love, and it ended with the fellow consuming many sleeping pills at a time to end his life without her love.
Nothing worked, simply because she was not in love with him. Sonam did not go running to the hospital, nor did she call to profess her love in tear-torn voice. She only prayed for his recovery, because humanity, and prayed that his failed suicide attempt will make him wiser.
He recovered, but he was just a human body filled with hatred, anger and dirty male-ego. A jilted lover now, he began stalking her with a bottle of acid in his pocket.
Sonam, as we told you, was not just another girl. She informed the police about the aashiq-turned-stalker, and they caught him before he could harm her. By the time he came out of the prison, Sonam was long gone.
When the reality of a woman's consent failed to make sense, the Raanjhana resorted to vengeance again. He wanted to tell his tale, make her unpopular.
A 10 rupee note became his tool.
Three years later, here we are jabbering about many notes with 'Sonam Gupta bewafa hai' scribbled on them and her name becoming the face of betraytal.
Sonam Gupta, as a rumour has it, laughed out in the middle of a meeting, when her editor told her about #sonamguptabewafahai.

Ricky Gardiner, Guitarist for David Bowie, Dead at 73
in Inspiring People Who Died In 2022
Ricky Gardiner, a guitarist for Iggy Pop and David Bowie, has died. Iggy Pop and producer Tony Visconti shared the news on social media on Monday (May 16). The former wrote, "Dearest Ricky, lovely man, shirtless in your coveralls, the nicest guy who ever played guitar. Thanks for the memories and the songs; rest eternal in peace." Tony Visconti did not disclose a cause of death, but Gardiner's longtime friend Visconti noted that the guitarist had been living with Parkinson's disease. Ricky Gardiner was 73 years old.
Gardiner is best known for his close collaboration with Iggy Pop, with whom he co-wrote "The Passenger." He recounted the song's origins in a 2005 interview with The Independent, describing how he came up with the song's famous melody in Berlin. "I heard myself playing in the distance. "It was certainly a case of the chord sequence 'slipping through' while I was 'lost in the glory' of a beautiful spring morning," he said.
Jo Mersa Marley Bob Marley's Grandson is dead at 31
Pele, Brazilian football legend, dead at 82
The strength, inherent in a round, arrested my attention, and I registered the sequence for future use." In addition to Iggy Pop's Lust for Life (where he also co-wrote "Success" and "Neighborhood Threat"), Gardiner was a significant presence on David Bowie's Low and Tonight.
Born in 1948, Gardiner grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland. He taught himself music from early childhood, sharpening his interest in casual bands as a teenager. He co-founded the prog-rock act Beggars Opera in 1969, releasing a handful of albums with the group and departing after 1975's Beggars Can't Be Choosers.
Gardiner met Iggy Pop while working with Bowie on Low, recruited to the sessions by producer Tony Visconti after working on his solo album Visconti's Inventory. Bowie, newly wrangling with sobriety and wary of engaging in his promotion, joined Iggy Pop for a mid-1977 tour supporting his solo debut, The Idiot. Bowie put together the backing band with himself on keys and Gardiner on guitar. Lust for Life arrived later that year, but Gardiner declined to join Iggy Pop on more extensive touring to support the album to focus on parenting.
Gardiner continued to make music independently despite stepping away from the spotlight, focusing on electronic material and music for meditation. In 2006, Gardiner wrote that he had been dealing with electrosensitivity for more than a decade, making it difficult for him to be around the production equipment necessary for writing and recording his work.

Q: Scroll flash before scrolling After page reload i need to maintain scroll position.I used this code.
window.onload = function () {
            document.onscroll = function () {
                sessionStorage.scrollTop = document.body.scrollTop;
            };
            if (sessionStorage.scrollTop != "undefined") {
                document.body.scrollTop = sessionStorage.scrollTop;
            }
        };

But before scrolling screen flashes. It`s like very quick animate. How can i fix it?
Thanks for answer! But now i have another problem. I add this to the head of document.
    <style type="text/css">
        .no_fouc {
            display: none;
        }
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        document.documentElement.className = 'no_fouc';
    </script>

This to document ready event.
window.onload = function () {
            document.onscroll = function () {
                sessionStorage.scrollTop = document.body.scrollTop;
            };
            if (sessionStorage.scrollTop != "undefined") {
                document.body.scrollTop = sessionStorage.scrollTop;
            }
            $('.no_fouc').removeClass('no_fouc');
        };

And  it`s not scrolling at all

A: This is probably because the page starts rendering before the onload event happens. You could try hiding the page content and displaying it after scrolling is done (much as you would for hiding templates from frameworks like angular before they have a chance to render) for ex http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/web-designer/how-to-prevent-flash-of-unstyled-content-on-your-websites/

Tying this "consent" to access has raised the eyebrows of privacy activists before, who have questioned whether this meets the requirements for consent set out in EU data protection laws. As per GDPR legislation to Washington Post should have offered subscribers a free alternative to accepting cookies.
This case highlights the emphasis that ICO is placing on ensuring that US-based are complaint with GDPR in relation to EU subscribers.
