I have photographed the Sandy Mush Community Center (Leicester NC) a few times. Each time there is always something new to see and capture.
This time around I wanted to capture and showcase the buildings symmetry. An angle of the building that is not greatly seen or experienced. I am basically in the brushes taking this shot - not the most accessible place.
For me, the Maria Uzor & Sync Your Teeth tracks got me listening (and buying vinyl) ofA Certain Ratio. Without Sync Your Teeth I may never have discovered A Certain Ratio. For me - the remix album is more interesting than many of the original tracks.
Get A Grip - Maps Remix is such a great stand out song. While also answering the question - what is the point of a remix album
I did rearrange the playlist order, and am enjoying the album better.
Track by Track - original arrangement
? #1 Down & Dirty - Mr Dan Remix Who is the female on Vocals (pumping track) Opening Tracking is a thumbing bangers ? #2 Friends Around Us - Lou Hayter Remix Not sure why this track is the second track. It's a complete mood killer. Seriously, following a banger. At the best of times this track could have stopped much sooner. ? #3 Bouncy Bouncy - Chop & Drop LoneLady Mix Uneventful - with time it may be a grower. But, why have to wait when there is already so much good music to listen to. If there were more to the track (like a Kate Bush or EBTG track that reveals something deeper. The investment justified. ? #4Yo Yo Gimix - The Orielles Remix Maybe I signed up for the wrong party. The first track set up a certain tone that has quickly disappeared into the vast past of forgetfulness. ? #5 Supafreak - Massy Mix One of the least player tracks from the album - but certainly one of the stronger tunes. Good balance of vocals and driving beat. Could file into a Happy Monday's track - ? #6Always in Love - Skream Remix New Order could have released the beat for this song. The female vocals are not quite aligning with the song which only is confirmed once the guy begins to sing - the effect on his voice would have sounded great on her vocals as well. ? #7 Family - Finger Tips Mix Suite YES YES YES - now that's how you do an intro. No one was expecting any of these vocals. Booming along with a funk bass line. This should have been the second track (if not the leading track). Reminds me of Prince 12" - with seperate parts to the track (does sound like the bass line from Alp. Street. I do wish there was more of this vibe during track 2-4 - getting down without feeling completely down. Best tune. ? #8Get a Grip - Maps Remix I can not lie. Maria Uzor got me here. And I love that vinyl (it's brilliant). This mix may not be my favorite - there is something really interesting about the track. The vocals are used wonderfully - unexpected. ? #9Berlin - Cosmodelica Remix Another pumping tune. This song does make me want to listen to the original album ? #10What's Wrong - SYT DMT Mix Right from the first few beats and bassline. What's Wrong (SYT DMT mix) could easily be an early Sasha track. You really can't go wrong with Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford on vocals. ? #11 Taxi Driver - Number Reworks Without the horn I may have completely missed "Taxi Guy" ? #12 Always in Love - Muddy Feet Remix The first minute in that voice pops in (these tracks should have been arrayed differently). By the second minute I am hoping the track will go somewhere. By the third minute I realize that there is another 4 minutes on this one. I couldn't do it - I had to skip to the next track. ? #13 Friends Around Us - The Lounge Society Remix The horn is maybe the best element on this album. The intro is solid followed with that funky bassline. There is something exciting about "Friends Around Us"
Digital technologies are shaping children's brains...
one hour of Daily screen time Can Reduce Preschoolers Core brain development
Mobile technology has changed our lives in so many ways. It has become a part of our daily routine. We use it for entertainment, learning, and communication.
In 2017 the average time spent on mobile devices by 2-4 year olds was 58 minutes per day. This can be attributed to the fact that they are surrounded by smartphones and tablets at home, school and everywhere they go. It would be interesting to compare a current study on daily usage with the figures from 2017 for changes and trends.
Too much screen time can be detrimental to children's development. It can lead to addiction, obesity, and lack of sleep. The National Sleep Foundation found that Studies have shown that preschoolers who use screens for more than an hour each day experience a noticeable decline in language, literacy, and social skills development.
The study found that children who spent more time in front of screens had a lower attention span, poorer vocabulary, and less interest in reading.
Children who are exposed to screens at an early age may not be able to develop their full creativity and imagination skills. This could lead them to be more susceptible to addiction because they are not satisfied with the virtual world and want more of the real world. It can also result in them being less active because they prefer sitting down in front of a screen rather than playing outside with friends or family members.
We know that this is not an easy rule to follow and it is especially difficult for parents who work full-time and don't have the time or energy to monitor their kids' screen usage. One solution could be a parental control app which can help monitor the time spent on mobile devices, block certain apps and set bedtimes for when these devices are prohibited.
