Research shows that these short breaks allow regions of the brain that are blocked by stress or high-intensity work to revitalize. Shifting to a completely different activity engages a different region of the brain and different transmitters, and allows the now resting region of the brain to replenish its supply. When doing the same task for a period of time, those transmitters begin to deplete. We know that the brain uses neurotransmitters to send messages across pathways. contributes to strong academic performanceīrain breaks aren’t just a moment of play or rest during learning time, they help students reach their full potential.supports emotional well-being and self-regulation.Research shows brain breaks benefit kids in many different ways: Some optimal times for brain breaks would include just after lunch or recess, in between subjects in class, or at planned intervals during tasks where kids are expected to sustain focus on something for an extended period.

It likely started to be used as the base of recipes soon after, I’ve seen advertised recipes from the 1950s and 1960s.

Cream of chicken soup recipes are simple recipes to add to your rotation of meals. And while “Didn’t Care” exists fully as a poppy love song - the hand claps and talk of “shivers” - it’s also a song about somebody not caring when they meet their love the frizzled keyboard chords and insistent background vocals promise there’s no simple ending for this story, either. With the crank of a bicycle bell popping in over the thumping bass track, “Sunburn” conjures a summer night’s dance party even as Meath’s locked-down vocal (“My favorite way to ruin me”) suggests nothing is as carefree as it seems. “Sunburn,” the album’s debut single, and “Didn’t Care” also work as bridge songs, leaping from a pop music framework into the wilder unknown. Sanborn says that vocal, and the song itself, became a reference point for the album, “for how weird we could take it - how bare and strange something could be.” The album’s title is taken from a snippet of background vocal in “Your Reality,” a slippery, complexly layered track in which Meath sings what feels like a preoccupying question of the post-pandemic world: “Let me remember how to live my life/were there rules originally/or are we learning how to be?” As in so many previous Sylvan Esso songs Meath’s voice is direct and dominant, but the “no rules Sandy” background vocal is different - echoing and hypnotic, swooping underneath Sanborn’s percussive synth as well as a string arrangement from Gabriel Kahane. We’re not trying to fit into the mold, just happily being our freak selves.” “It feels like who we actually are,” Meath adds. Describing their first three albums as a trilogy that is now complete, Meath and Sanborn see No Rules Sandy as the beginning of a new period, with songs that are “wilder and stranger and more cathartic than the band used to be,” as Sanborn puts it. But that speed - and the resulting looseness and live-wire energy in their songs - is one of many things that feels like brand-new territory in No Rules Sandy, their fourth studio album, out August 12, 2022. Some bands can create entire albums on short-term writing jags, but until now, Meath says, Sylvan Esso was not one of them. “Pretty much every day that we did that, we got a song that we liked.” “Even if we weren’t feeling good, we would just sit down and try to make something,” Meath says. Cramming the contents of a recording studio into their Prius, Nick Sanborn and Amelia Meath drove from their home in Durham, North Carolina to Los Angeles, where they set up a makeshift studio in a small rental house on the east side and did something that surprised them: they wrote a song. No refunds.Īt the beginning of 2022, Sylvan Esso packed up and headed west. This time around however, I've added 3 color variants (color, faded, and black/white).

If it said 7-10 on the label, I'd be like "Okay, that sucks. Fed-Ex, however, put 2-3 days on the labels and it took 7 going out and 8 coming back. Cobra told me it would take 7 to 10 days. Which I will take some pictures of and stick on our marketplace here, to see if anyone is interested in it. So, I now have a brand new Cobra RadSpeed Head and a brand new Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.0 shaft. I took the head from that and stuck it on my existing shaft. It's a nice looking head, don't get me wrong. My only real complaint with Cobra is I sent them the Navy/Red head and they sent me back the Black/Yellow head. Which feels like a lifetime to be without a driver. So all told, I shipped it out on the 4th and got it back on the 29th. It took Fed-Ex 8 days to get it back to me (again, the label said 2-3 days). Fed Ex took a week to get it to them (even though the label said 2-3 days). Which is how long they told me it would take (actually they said a week to 10 days). I got a new head for my driver yesterday.įed Ex took forever. I'll update when I get the next communication from Cobra.

The driver especially has never been without its headcover for more than a few minutes. One, I always take really good care of my clubs. I really didn't notice any performance difference when hitting it last. Which makes me think the layers are separating or something to that effect. In this Cobra Radspeed XB driver review, I discuss my experience with the. It’s on sale now and needs to be on your list of drivers to test if you’re in the market. Also, the part that's cracking is raised up, not smashed in. Summary: The Cobra Radspeed XB driver is easy really easy to hit long and keep in play for this mediocre driver of the golf ball. An adjustable hosel for loft and face angle allows further shot correction to amplify the forgiveness of the driver. I'm pretty sure I didn't cause this damage as I have never thrown the club, or even slammed it on the ground in any way. The Cobra RadSpeed XB Driver is designed for 5-15 handicap players looking to control errant ball flights and produce more consistent ball flights to the center of the fairway. I look closer and I think it's either cracked or the layers are starting to separate. As I'm wiping down my Cobra Radspeed Driver I can feel a ridge where there shouldn't be a ridge. Perfect Circuit have a nice overview of the modules. You can easily employ that layout without really nailing the sound beneath, but I think you’ll find the Cherry recreation sounds like the original. And the sound architecture of the 2600 also makes tons of stuff sound good that would be grating on other synths – not only on digital synths but many analog ones, as well. Whereas a lot of “modern” soft synths hide modulation or make you patch things together, there are just so many faders to fiddle around with. I mean, you just have to love the ARP 2600. Just using your mouse you can probably get some R2D2-like sounds and other creative sound designs. You can also experiment with adjusting keyboard tracking – that’s VCF > Keybd it doesn’t have to be at max. He’s going for subtlety, but extreme effects sound good, too. Try moving the INITIAL FREQ fader around (in conjunction with VCO 2 control of the filter), and you’ll hear lots of different effects. The reason this sounds so different at the last step from Tats is the coarse tuning of VCO 2. The VCF settings – instant frequency modulation of the filter from VCO 2. Of course you can follow this with other renditions of the ARP, too, like the Arturia: Let’s borrow him from KORG and the now-defunct Red Bull Music Academy to have a look at FM and using the resonant filter as an additional oscillator. Our friend Tats did a nice intro to the ARP 2600. It is stupidly easy to get to things like filter modulation and FM with an ARP 2600 – and when the modeling is this good, it’s equally stupidly easy to make those sound good. So what you get is really ideal – the ability to drop an ARP plug-in (or standalone) into any production workflow, including that all-important audio input so you can use the 2600 as an effects processor or an audio input as a control signal. They’ve also nicely updated the original typography for readability while staying true in spirit to the vintage gear. And their display is custom-configurable – zoom levels, patch cable customization, and three attractive color themes (black/orange, gray, and blue). It’s easy on my eyes at 100% zoom, which is a problem with a lot of other software recreations. Almost every control is in its original location – with a handful of sliders moved to vertical positions (pulse width, for instance) to save space, but all easy to locate. It’s like they could have been there from the beginning. Where there are new features, like multiple filter types, distortion and delay, an extra plate reverb, and so on, they fit neatly onto the main panel and they’re implemented in a way that feels idiomatic. So you get everything on one screen, and all the sounds and features of the original are there. What I especially like in the Cherry Audio version is, it’s exceptionally well balanced between original features and additions. CA’s ARP is especially easy on the eyes – and fits on one screen, which is essential in software. That same ease applies to any bleep or bloop you may have in mind. The ARP 2600 makes it uniquely easy to do extreme filter modulation and to patch in signal (like the voice) – all the stuff that made R2D2 speak. So yeah, it is the “R2D2 synth” – but even that is revealing. That’s useful to experts, but – once you know what all those labels mean, nice for synth beginners, too. Tons of features are available normalled (without patching), including fairly exotic modulation – but most options can be patched, too. Faders instead of knobs make it easier to see where parameters are set. The 2600 has a uniquely “flattened” design – there’s just a ton of stuff right there in front of you. The product – Mac/Windows AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone $25 intro price then $39 regularly: Cherry Audio has a killer ARP 2600 recreation – and it costs only US$25 (intro price). This could be the easiest and most inexpensive way to put the epic 1971 semi-modular synth in your rig. TIMER Track your time on tasks and organize them using folders.
