![]() ![]() "When you walk into a party, Cosmo girls walk in with their chin up, smile on her face, eyes friendly and scanning the room." So yes, do you need to read this book when all you need to do is pull back issues of Cosmo? Am I the only person who read Cosmo magazine in the 90s? I distinctly remember reading Cosmo magazine in my 20s with this exact advice. This book is an unnecessarily long article about acting self-confident when you don't feel it. But for a while there, I didn't eat any Ding Dongs, nor lie on the carpet and die, and I completely lost the cap to my highlighter, and I thought, hey, a lot of this is not stupid, and maybe some of it could work, even for me. I mention it to warn you that the book is not a saccharine-free zone.)Īmy Cuddy's advice may or may not be scientifically sound, and the many studies presented here may or may not make you think you could be something else hereafter, something larger, more beautiful, more powerful. "Starfish up." (Not, not, NOT highlighted in my copy. This is power, it is glory on earth, and it is yours for the taking." -Agnes de Mille (Ditto.) "Begin to be now what you will be hereafter." -William James. Why are you highlighting that book." And then he started to laugh because he knew it was because I'm the nerd of all nerd-dom, and I said, That's right, I miss doing homework and highlighting things and (I didn't say this part) believing that I could improve myself. I was in deep danger of switching from the Bold Self initiative to my default setting, which is Holden Caulfield at the end of his madman weekend in New York.Īnd yet I kept reading, and it got to a point where I was curled up on the sofa with a highlighter in my hand, and my 17-year-old came home from school and said, "Why are you doing that. In the beginning it really did tick me off to hear how fabulous everyone thought the theory of "presence" was, how many lives it had changed, and how many of the people whose Lives It Had Changed had come up to the author at coffee shops and told her so. So I thought maybe as an alternative I would open the book and see if it could help me with my Biggest Challenge, which is ongoing and dire and I can't even tell you what it is because maybe you know me. Normally in that situation we just bring a flask.īut I was in that sort of a funk where you think, I am going to eat 12 Ding Dongs and lie face down on the living room carpet and then in 40 or so years I'm going to die. You have to be far more optimistic than we are to believe you could possibly learn anything from a book that says it can tell you how to bring your boldest self to your biggest challenges. My inner voice screams, "I KNOOOOOOOOW." But someone sent this book to my husband to review, or maybe just as advice, because he doesn't read self-help books either. Metaphorically I'm a 17-year-old hearing that it would be better to start my homework on Saturday instead of Sunday night at eight. " Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious - above all, truly powerful." - New York Times Book Review ![]() Every reader will learn how to approach their biggest challenges with confidence instead of dread, and to leave them with satisfaction instead of regret. Instead, we need to nudge ourselves, moment by moment, by tweaking our body language, behavior, and mind-set in our day-to-day lives.Īmy Cuddy has galvanized tens of millions of viewers around the world with her TED talk about "power poses." Now she presents the enthralling science underlying these and many other fascinating body-mind effects, and teaches us how to use simple techniques to liberate ourselves from fear in high-pressure moments, perform at our best, and connect with and empower others to do the same.īrilliantly researched, impassioned, and accessible, Presence is filled with stories of individuals who learned how to flourish during the stressful moments that once terrified them. As Harvard professor Amy Cuddy's revolutionary book reveals, we don't need to embark on a grand spiritual quest or complete an inner transformation to harness the power of presence. Too often we approach our lives' biggest hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret.īy accessing our personal power, we can achieve "presence," the state in which we stop worrying about the impression we're making on others and instead adjust the impression we've been making on ourselves.

![]() You may find aftermarket batteries are cheaper than DEWALT batteries. You would need to research each aftermarket battery before purchase. ![]() The fact that the voltage matches doesn’t mean it will fit all DEWALT products. Be sure to match up the voltage and size appropriately. You can also seek out an aftermarket battery designed to work with DEWALT tools. For example, if you’re edging and trimming and want to get it all done in one afternoon, a second battery can help move progress along.īestReviews Home Improvement and DIY Expert Aftermarket batteriesīuying a DEWALT replacement battery isn’t your only option for DEWALT tools and products. For projects that take over an hour, you may want to have an extra charged battery on hand, so you don’t have to stop working. Runtime varies, but you can expect up to about an hour of work per charge. It’s handy to have an extra battery on hand, especially if you’re tackling a lengthy project or have more than one tool that uses the same type of battery. When shopping for DEWALT batteries, you have the option of buying them in singles or pairs. Batteries should never come in contact with water or moisture.Ĭonsider investing in a protective battery case for traveling and storage purposes. When not in use, the battery shouldn’t be exposed to excessive heat or cold. Make sure they are charged and stored in a dry, cool place. Just like tools, batteries require proper care to keep them working properly. When choosing DEWALT tools and batteries, consider the monetary investment it will take to purchase a new battery every few years. A poorly maintained battery could die a lot sooner than its three projected years. With extra care, however, you may be able to get even more time out of a battery. LifespanĪ properly maintained lithium-ion battery should last about three years. If you’re looking to invest in long-lasting tools, avoid these secondhand products. Notably, there may be obsolete DEWALT tools and batteries in circulation that use different voltages. For example, a 20V battery won’t provide enough power for a tool that operates at the 60V level. There are over 200 DEWALT options that use 20V batteries! When shopping, it’s important to match the voltage of the battery to the voltage required by the tool. But for more-production-oriented work, such as putting down decking or building a garden shed, they make a noticeable difference.BestReviews Home Improvement and DIY Expert VoltageĭEWALT cordless power tools primarily use three voltages: 20V, 40V, and 60V. For around-the-house tasks, the added speed and power are often unnecessary. The well-positioned LED can also be switched on independently of the drill, a unique feature that makes it a rudimentary flashlight (which could come in handy in nearly any crawl space). Compared with our 12-volt pick, this larger drill completes tougher jobs much faster, doing the same work in less than half the time, with a battery that lasts longer. This is a larger, 20-volt drill, but it shares all of the most important characteristics of the smaller, 12-volt DeWalt: It’s very powerful and extremely comfortable to hold and use, and the little convenience features, such as the belt hook and the case, are spot-on. If you take on projects that have you drilling lots of holes and sinking long screws, we recommend stepping up to the DeWalt DCD791D2 20V Max XR Li-Ion Brushless Compact Drill/Driver Kit. The DCD701F2 also comes with a nice belt hook, and the battery gauge is located on each battery rather than on the tool, so you can check batteries without having to insert them into the drill. And the LED is positioned so that it illuminates the drill front better than most. The battery is designed so that the drill can stand upright when not in use (other drills, like the runner-up Bosch, need to be placed on their side). The molded handle seems to account for every curve and bulge of the hand, making this drill the most comfortable we’ve ever held. The DeWalt drill’s power is on a par with that of some other models we looked at, but it particularly excels in ergonomics and convenience features. These results show the drill can handle just about anything within the four walls of a home, and even the occasional foray into more aggressive work, like a small decking repair. In our tests, it bored 30 1-inch holes through a 2-by-10 on a single battery charge. ![]() The DeWalt DCD701F2 Xtreme 12-volt drill combines power, comfort, and convenience in a way that none of the other tested drills do. ![]() ![]() ![]() One issue is that many people find the idea of “fusion” music to be unappealing. Unfortunately, Third Stream music has never really caught on with either audience, and it faces a number of challenges today. It was an attempt to create a new type of “serious” music that would be appreciated by both jazz and classical fans. Third Stream music is a musical genre that emerged in the 1950s as a blending of jazz and classical music. What are some of the challenges facing Third Stream music today? Some recent examples of Third Stream music include John Zorn’s “Cobra,” which combines free jazz with orchestral elements, and Vijay Iyer’s “Mutations I-X,” which blends jazz piano with string quartet. Third Stream music has evolved over time, as composers continue to experiment with ways to blend classical and jazz styles. The term was coined in the 1950s by composer and critic Gunther Schuller, and the style began to gain traction in the 1960s and 1970s. Third Stream music is a genre of jazz that combines elements of classical music with traditional jazz. How has Third Stream music evolved over time? The blending of elements from both genres to create new hybrid forms The incorporation of traditional jazz instruments and styles into classical composition The use of jazz improvisation within a classical framework Some of the defining characteristics of Third Stream music include: It is characterized by its use of traditional jazz instruments and styles in a classical structure, as well as its combination of elements from both genres. ![]() ![]() Third Stream is a musical genre that developed in the 1950s as a fusion of jazz and classical music. What are some of the defining characteristics of Third Stream music? Miles Davis was a jazz trumpeter who experimented with various genres of music, including Third Stream. Gunther Schuller was an American composer, conductor, and educator who coined the term “Third Stream” to describe this type of music. Paul Hindemith was a German composer who wrote works that blended classical and jazz elements. John Lewis was a jazz pianist who co-founded the Modern Jazz Quartet. Some of the key figures in Third Stream music are John Lewis, Paul Hindemith, Gunther Schuller, and Miles Davis. Who are some of the key figures in Third Stream music? Many contemporary composers are continuing to explore the fertile ground between classical and jazz music, creating exciting new works that push the boundaries of both genres. While the term “Third Stream” is no longer used as much as it once was, the musical style it describes is still very much alive and well. These elements can be traced back to both jazz and classical music, but they are fused together in new and innovative ways in Third Stream compositions. Third Stream music is often characterized by its use of extended harmonic language, complex rhythms, and novel timbres. In Third Stream works, composers sought to break down the barriers between the two genres and create something new and distinct. Third Stream music is sometimes seen as a reaction against the perceived constraints of both classical and jazz music. The style was pioneered by composers such as Gunther Schuller, who was featured in the Downbeat article. Williams used the term to describe a musical style that blended classical and jazz elements. The term “Third Stream” was coined by Martin Williams in a 1952 article fordownbeat magazine. The goal of Third Stream music was to create a new, hybrid genre that would be accessible to both classical and jazz audiences. Many Third Stream composers were classically trained, but also had a deep love for jazz and its improvisational nature. It is a blend of classical and jazz influences, and often features elements of both genres equally. Third Stream music is a genre of music that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. ![]() ![]() So she came back and went to the next eight shows. After my first five games I thought it would be nice if my mom could come to the next taping. So you go home, and you're like, "I just had a record-breaking run on 'Jeopardy,' but I can't tell anyone." What did you say to friends and family?Ī: Well, you can tell some people. Q: The taping happened in January and February, but your episodes didn't air until the end of April. art history degree - which was more useful on "Jeopardy"? It's kind of like an offshoot of industrial engineering. I spent the last four years as an art history major looking at things that look the same and explaining how they're not the same, so that should be pretty useful.Īfter a few years I went back and got a master's in engineering - in logistics and supply chain management. I have good attention to detail, which really helped. So I thought, "Yeah, I'll get a job." I got a job with Crate and Barrel at their corporate offices. Q: Can we talk about your background a bit? You were an art history major, and then you got a master's in engineering?Ī: I went to a liberal arts college and took that liberal arts message to heart - "Follow your passion, and you'll be prepared for anything." I internalized that pretty hard, and when I graduated I realized I didn't want to teach, I didn't want to work for no pay, I didn't want to go to graduate school. And I remember thinking, "I don't think this is going to be the level of attention that I'm gonna get." When I was a contestant after my eighth game, we were eating lunch at the commissary, and Arthur Chu was on the TV over in the corner. Once I had won so many games I figured there would be some outside attention that came along with it, but I wasn't sure what to expect. But what happens on TV and when you're a contestant are actually very similar.īut this - with the media - has been very different. When I tried out to be on "Jeopardy," I was thinking about being on "Jeopardy." You kind of know what to expect from the show itself, right? I've watched it for years and years. Q: Is the pressure of being in the media different than the pressure of being on the show?Ī: It's very different. ![]() I kind of thought people were going to be over it by this point in the week, but I guess not! On Wednesday, I spoke with Collins about gender, her time on "Jeopardy" and the value of a liberal arts degree.Ī: Yeah. Julia Collins's 20-game "Jeopardy" winning streak ended this week and she finished with $428,100 in prize money, making her the top female player in the game show's 50-year history and second overall to Ken Jennings, who won 74 straight games in 2004 and pocketed $2.5 million. ![]() ![]() ![]() IMovie is basically free and easy to use. The Mimi Jo Wave Band rhythm sectoin in Astia-studio A drum room tracking live in 2019. If you buy a used Mac that doesn’t have iMovie you can buy it cheap from AppStore. You’ll get iMovie already installed when buying an Apple computer. This is as home-made as it gets as that is how most bands nowadays make their videos. I made the videos using a MacBook Air with iMovie version 10.1.12 and Final Cut Pro version 10.4.6. Our focus is on the video editing software and its settings to see if they affect the result. We will compare the possible sound differences using YouTube videos. I used the same sound file on both video editing softwares. The mix was transferred from tape to computer as 96 kHz 24 bit stereo WAV file. ![]() I recorded and mixed them both to RTM SM900 magnetic tape. The songs used on the comparison are by two separate artists. In this blog post we will compare the audio of music videos that are made using both iMovie and Final Cut Pro. I hope this writing will help you to improve the sound quality of your music videos. They have to do with the audio sample rate and the video making process. Yet, often the attention ends to the mastering process leaving the possible video sound quality loss unnoticed.Īs I like to compare things to find out the factors that can affect the sound quality, I now want to share with you some of my observations. Wouldn’t it be great if your fans could enjoy your music video with great sound quality? Nearly all musicians along with recording, mixing and mastering engineers are willing to do almost anything to keep their sound quality as high as possible. How to improve the sound quality of your music video So let’s investigate together how to improve the sound quality of your music video. Once I started bumping into this phenomenon I decided to make a comparison to see if the audio quality is reduced on the video and how much. Focus and compare the mastered WAV file to the music video side by side. For example, if you add a 4K video clip to your project, you’ll be able to share the finished project at 4k resolution.Have you ever noticed how your music sounds awesome after mastering but the music video sound quality isn’t that great? If you haven’t paid any attention to it, I recommend to make a simple test. In iMovie on iPhone or iPad, the highest quality clip in your project determines the resolution for your movie. You can always add videos and photos to your project after you initially create the movie. If you didn't add videos or photos, the timeline is blank. Videos or photos you selected appear in the timeline.

While COVID may cause shrinkage of some brain areas, brain fog itself has not been linked to brain volume changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. It’s also been reported as a symptom of menopause. People with coeliac disease may even experience brain fog after consuming gluten. Scientists aren’t sure whether the same biological processes underpin brain fog in different illnesses however, brain fog is common among people recovering from traumatic brain injury, experiencing persistent post-concussion symptoms, with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, HIV, postural tachycardia syndrome, lupus, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, and as a side-effect of chemotherapy. Up to 85% of people with long COVID also have brain fog.Īlthough we’re hearing a lot about brain fog in relation to COVID, people experience the symptom with many other diseases and disorders. Recent reports suggest 20-30% of people have brain fog three months after infection. Brain fog doesn’t usually worsen over time, and may not last forever.īrain fog was one of the most common symptoms to emerge in the first months of the COVID pandemic. While the symptoms of brain fog can be similar to those experienced by people with Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions associated with older age, brain fog can affect people of any age. They reported feeling guilt and shame, especially about how brain fog had affected their ability to return to work and their relationships. One recent study asked people with long COVID about their experiences with brain fog. Brain fog can also take a toll on relationships, and change the way we see ourselves personally and professionally. Other people say they “forget how to do normal routines like running a meeting at work".īrain fog can make even simple tasks like grocery shopping very difficult: navigating the car park, remembering a list of items to buy, switching attention between products and prices, and reading ingredients can be confusing, overwhelming and exhausting.īrain fog can be unpleasant in the short term, but over time can make it difficult to work and maintain social activities. ![]() Sufferers describe experiences with brain fog as lapses in memory and concentration, with some saying they “put food on the gas stove and walked away for over an hour, only noticing when they were burning". This describes problems with closely linked tasks such as concentration, information processing, memory, thinking and reasoning, and making sense of language.īrain fog is exactly what it sounds like: a feeling something like being shrouded by a thick fog, not quite able to grasp ideas, feeling confused or disoriented, and having trouble concentrating or recalling memories. Brain fog is what doctors refer to as “cognitive dysfunction".
