Muons are produced in high-energy particle accelerators by first creating While the electron is stable, the muon is not, and it decays to anĮlectron and two neutrinos with a half life of 2.2 microseconds. The muon is a fundamental leptonic particle very similar to the electron,Įxcept that the muon has a mass that is 207 times larger. Next we'll consider muon-hydrogen spectroscopy.

Analog Science First I believed it might be possible to 'fix' the EQ, but a friend tried multiple scenarios to do that, and none of the results was fully satisfying. Sounds like they had a very good source tape but ruined it with far too bright EQ also (and oddly), the low end is summed to mono. Especially not in this case, when the first remaster was ear-piercingly bright-sounding and had the low end summed to mono.Ĭlick to expand.Disc 1 of the Paranoid Super Deluxe set (originally released in 2016, re-released in 2020) contains the same 2012 Pearce mastering as the other 2016 Rhino CD editions (both 1xDisc and 2xDisc), the 2014 HDtracks, 2012, 20 vinyl collections, 2016 Deluxe LPs and all 2017 Ten Year War releases. Even your benevolent description gives it away: given that this sounds to you like it was 'restored' from the 2012 mastering with even further processing, that alone would be something to worry about, as a heavily processed remaster of a heavy processed remaster will never sound any close to natural. Compared to the SACD or the 2009 Pearce, the 2021 track frankly sounds like garbage. That, however, doesn't mean that this is an acceptable mastering, as long as there are any decent or even mediocre-sounding alternatives out there. That said, I love this album, and as I have said many times, I would even listen to it on a 5th generation cassette tape if that was all I had. So far removed from the original LP and the flat transfer from master tape used for the SACD, it is barely recognizable. 4 2012 mastering is probably the worst of all the 2012 masterings - which is something. Have you compared it to anything other than the 2014 version? I mean, the 2014 uses the 2012 remaster by Pearce, and the Vol. Don't they have any quality control? Even if the mastering engineer's hearing is becoming impaired (possibly due to age), I would have assumed at least one other person would be listening and tell them this needs to be re-done. I didn't really expect this to improve over the 2009 Pearce mastering, but noticing it is worse than the awful 2012 Pearce mastering (released on HDtracks 2014, CD 2016 etc.) is still a shock. Just because Sabbath haven't officially released many vintage shows, doesn't mean the song wasn't played live. I didn't expect this to be as good, but this is worse than I expected. Listening to the SACD or the 2009 CD right after listening to the 2021 version is like entering paradise after going through purgatory (sorry for the awful imagery, everything else that came to my mind listening to the 2021 track was far too graphic). Especially not in this case, when the first remaster was ear-piercingly bright-sounding and had the low end summed to mono.

Whether it’s the way Asakusa sits up as that first anime inspires her, or the look of wonder on Mizusaki’s face as she watches her grandmother perform the simple act of throwing away some tea (honestly, I’ll try to mention Kanamori more, because she is an important part of this equation, but I’m not business minded and I just relate more to the other two). There’s a clear passion for the subject at hand and you feel that oozing through every frame. What I’m trying to get at is that the people that made this anime know what they’re talking about and I can just feel the years of personal experience and anecdotes that have been poured into this series. Heck, the Mizusaki focussed episode, where she’s studying how people move, had me flashing back to college and me and my friends walking up and down a corridor to watch one another for a class. When Asakusa and Mizusaki are goofing off and Kanamori has to put her foot down, literally, I’ve been in that position (I’ll hold my hand up and admit that I was one of the people goofing off, there’s just certain people that if you put me in a room with them, you’re going to bring out my more chaotic side). There’re so many moments that ring true, especially with my own experiences, both as a writer and as a student of animation. Nine episodes later and it is still true, this show is such a love letter to animation and the creative process that I can’t help but adore it. Yet when they put their boundless imaginations together they can create marvels, so it shouldn’t be too tough, right? The Reviewīack when I did my first impressions of this show, I said that if I could ever have an anime as the outward representation of my soul, then it would be this one. Together with the money-minded Sayaka Kanamori and teen model turned character animator Tsubane Mizusaki, the three girls decide to form their own club and make anime! Unfortunately animation is not an easy business, between working inhumanly long hours, dealing with clients and other outside forces, and finding the right balance between practicality and artistic integrity, the girls have a lot to learn and overcome. One rainy night she happened to come across an old anime and realised that she could make those adventures she was craving herself. What’s the Story?Įver since she was little, Midori Asakusa has wanted to go on adventures. Animation is the power to create whole worlds and beyond. And how that remains even after they pass away.

She was married to Arnold Laven, late co-founder of Levy-Gardner-Laven Productions and creator, producer and director of THE RIFLEMAN. According to her daughter, Laven thought Amanda sounded well with Ames. She borrowed the stage name Amanda from another friend who was a professional dancer and with whom she appeared in several musicals. According to Laven's daughter Barbara, she took the stage name Eileen from a childhood friend and put it together with Harley, which was a family name.

Eventually, they were able to find 14 people-men and women ranging from nine to 65 years old with various ethnic backgrounds (although the majority were white). Picard and his team began searching for others with two-colored hairs through local ads, on social media and by word of mouth. “She went to the bathroom and actually plucked a couple-that’s when this project started,” he says. Unexpectedly, however, his partner turned to him and said she had seen such two-colored hairs on her head. “I was thinking about this almost as a fictive idea,” Picard recalls. While discussing these ideas with his partner, Picard mentioned something in passing: if one could find a hair that was only partially gray-and then calculate how fast that hair was growing-it might be possible to pinpoint the period in which the hair began aging and thus ask the question of what happened in the individual’s life to trigger this change. Maybe the hairs that turn white first are the more vulnerable or least resilient.” “It seemed like the hair, in a way, recapitulated what we know happens at the cellular level,” Picard says. This patchwork process, he realized, was clearly visible on our head, where our hairs do not all turn gray at the same time. These findings suggest “that there is a window of opportunity during which graying is probably much more reversible than had been thought for a long time,” says study co-author Ralf Paus, a dermatologist at the University of Miami.Īround four years ago Martin Picard, a mitochondrial psychobiologist at Columbia University, was pondering the way our cells grow old in a multistep manner in which some of them begin to show signs of aging at much earlier time points than others. It also aligns patterns of graying and reversal to periods of stress, which implies that this aging-related process is closely associated with our psychological well-being. In a study published today in eLife, a group of researchers provide the most robust evidence of this phenomenon to date in hair from around a dozen people of various ages, ethnicities and sexes. This signaled a reversal in the normal graying process, which begins at the root. In one 1972 paper, the late dermatologist Stanley Comaish reported an encounter with a 38-year-old man who had what he described as a “ most unusual feature.” Although the vast majority of the individual’s hairs were either all black or all white, three strands were light near the ends but dark near the roots. Hints that gray hairs could spontaneously regain color have existed as isolated case studies within the scientific literature for decades. Although this may seem like a permanent change, new research reveals that the graying process can be undone-at least temporarily. As we grow older, black, brown, blonde or red strands lose their youthful hue. Few harbingers of old age are clearer than the sight of gray hair. |
