Density of sugar can vary, but depending on factors such as the type of sugar and its moisture content. As we don’t know exactly the density of meth itself, we can compare it to something crystalline and similar in density, sugar. To determine the weight of 1 cubic meter of meth, we need to know the density. Therefore, approximately 90,516,328 $100 bills can fit into a cubic meter. Now, to determine how many $100 bills can fit into a cubic meter, we divide the volume of a cubic meter by the volume of a bill: Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, we need to convert the volume of a bill from cm 3 to m 3: The volume of a single bill can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and thickness: To determine how many $100 bills can fit into a cubic meter, we need to calculate the volume occupied by a single bill and then divide the volume of a cubic meter by that value. The size of a US dollar bill is approximately 15.6 cm by 6.6 cm by 0.11 cm (length, width, and thickness, respectively). We take this seriously, violating this policy can result in a ban.

I am sick and tired of one channel sometimes randomly coming out lower and with less bass and clarity than the other whenever I record my mixes, and me having to hope each time I record that it is coming out correctly. Then, eventually other people start coming in and admitting to have the same or other problems later in the threads and the blaming and rudeness seems to subside, However, I have gotten to a point where I must log in and say something about my issue after spending four hours recording a gig yesterday only to discover the first 25 minutes of the recording came out well. I haven't said anything because I've seen some of the type of subtle rude answers others have gotten when they posted their problems, and it seems the blame for the problem is always somehow put on the person who posts for help. Then our Tanzanian coworker have to pay much more, than his European or US-american colleague. Another question is, whether the cost of VDJ depends on the purchasing power of a country or whether it is independent of that factor. My advice, if you're going to go "professional" and make some money with Djing, invest a bit in the People who make VDJ a good piece of Software. The notebook is the same piece I started with, a great middle class piece,Core I5 with 6G RAM and still is rocking it. After getting the licence I got since five years and a couple of hundred hours play time no crashes at all. I got regularly, every couple of hours crashes on my laptop. I hope this helps some of you in some way.May i post my 5 cents here too, Before purchasing VDJ Pro licence I used a pirated version. Just added some files on the workstation from Dropbox and no issues. I am as we speak running both of those computers running 2021 playing songs on both A and B decks, the Laptop is hooked up to the Hercules Inpulse 500 using a External 3.0 Seagate drive and the Workstation has no controllers hooked up to it and is running off internal drives. I just got done batch adding files to the data base on the ASUS for over 100,000 files and no crash. Win Home version do not have this feature and can cause issues when trying to run older software, I assume its the same for Win 10 as it was for Win 7. That's the way it worked in Win 7 PRO 64. I always recommend the Win 10 PRO 64 because it will automatically separate 64 bit and X86 (32 bit) and allow the backwards compatibility of older software running 32 bit. All Win 10 PRO 64 OS's were upgrades and not fresh installs. Radeon RX470 GPU and Win 10 PRO 64 built in 2011 with upgrades over the years. My workstation computer is an old AMD Phenom II, quad core 3.2gb, 16gb ram Gskill is my go to ram for every computer build. The laptop is an ASUS G75V release in 2012 with a Gen 3 i7 2.6gb 16gb ram Win 10 PRO 64 and GTX660 which is not good enough for the video. Since the day I installed 2021 I have had no crashes of any kind only a minor scripting error for the Hercules Inpulse 500 on the browsing encoder. Some random links below that might get you on right path perhaps and 100s more youtube 2lwHDcCC98E Thanks.I'll check them out and let you know for sure! I remember at least one user the fix was to turn off some driver/update checker from HP that seems to hang the system every X mins. Its for sure more than powerful enough to run VirtualDJ flawlessly Might be worth checking the computer a bit for rouge background processes and drivers. Seen quite a few post about this computer. I've the HP OMEN 15 with 8GB of RAM, Intel i5 9th gen (overclocked), Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 - 8GB. Also I tried this preCompute setting but no effect. (and if your computer is not old or slow, post what specs you have, if any graphic card etc.) I've the HP OMEN 15 with 8GB of RAM, Intel i5 9th gen (overclocked), Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 - 4GB. Works well then? Should work exactly as before with that setting on -) And if all is good with that setting on, you can still use stems by right-click song(s) in browser, and choose PreCompute. Try this, in settings set precomputeStems to "only use precomputed". Maybe your computer is just too old, or slow for the new stem features. Please help me out ASAP! P.S.: I use Windows 10 Home. Got any solution to this? I need to do a lot of work but I'm unable to. I've performed clean re-installations, then I've tried and switched versions, checked all of my audio drivers but none of them solved my problem. After working for 5 minutes Virtual DJ 2021 stops, freezes and when I try to kill the task, my whole computer freezes. “I hadn’t thought about it for a while because when the Tim and Eric thing happened everything was focused so laser-hot on that side of my brain. “I started thinking about one guy who had overdosed years ago that I was very close with,” he says. It’s a record about looking back, sometimes painfully, at his adolescence. In 2022 he released his most personal, intimate and accomplished album to date, High School. In 2020 he released Fear of Death, an album of sun-baked indie folk-rock that featured Weyes Blood and members of Foxygen, the Lemon Twigs and Warpaint. Ten years down the line Heidecker finds himself making a very different kind of music. Underground leaders of the pee-freak scene, your shame no longer has to be private!” The music Heidecker did dabble in was heavy on the comedy: there were spoof Bob Dylan tracks and a band called the Yellow River Boys, whose album Urinal St Station featured tracks such as Slurp it Up and Hot Piss Drinker, along with a blurb that read: “THE album for those of us who believe that the human mouth smiles the most when it is being used as a makeshift urinal. Music never left Heidecker but it took a backseat as things blew up in the world of Tim and Eric, which resulted in Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, a 2012 feature film featuring Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell, John C Reilly and Jeff Goldblum. Odenkirk thought it was especially funny that the pair had invoiced him for the package.ĭumb and dumber … Heidecker with Eric Wareheim in Billion Dollar Movie. We just were funny with each other.” However Bob Odenkirk, better known as a comedian before his breakout roles in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, saw the potential in the pair and became something of a mentor and helping hand, getting them broadcast on the US comedy channel Adult Swim after they mailed him a DVD out of the blue. “We never really thought about comedy as something we would do. “We were making art films,” recalls Heidecker. “Music was my ambition originally.” He was a Beatles-obsessed teenager who played in “cringey” and “pretentious” bands, with names like such as the Pulsating Libidos and Shaggy’s Belt Buckle, before he went to film school and met Wareheim. “It was a last resort,” Heidecker laughs. It’s an intricate and entangled network that has resulted in a vast, sprawling comedic world.īut comedy was not plan A or even plan B. Plus, he hosts a weekly call-in chatshow, Office Hours Live, one episode of which was simply a 12-hour long spoof of Joe Rogan’s podcast. Such as the long-running webseries-cum-fictional universe On Cinema, which is ostensibly a spoof movie review show with storylines so elaborate, wild and nonsensical that it has spawned multiple offshoots – one, the miniseries The Trial, sees Heidecker in court after his character creates a vanity-project festival for his band that leaves 20 kids dead and 158 hospitalised from toxic vape pens that were distributed. Then there are the numerous identities Heidecker has moulded and lived in outside the partnership. Not necessarily in style, tone or presence – even though both lean heavily into absurdity and extreme daftness – but in that they have crafted their own distinct comedic language and interplay that is intrinsically unique. Perhaps Tim and Eric’s closest UK comparison would be Vic and Bob. Shock towers have been removed, Coil-over’s and Dillon A arms added plus disc brakes on front.

If you feel burning in your mouth for an extended period of time, ask your doctor to test you for BMS. Secondary BMS is caused by medical conditions such as: Primary BMS isn’t caused by another medical condition and may result from damaged nerve pathways. It may last for days on end without stopping, or it can appear only every few days or months. But BMS is often unpredictable and can occur without warning. It can be mild or painful, like you’ve bitten into something extremely hot. pain or numbness in the tongue, lips, or gumsīMS makes you feel as if you’ve burned or scalded the tissues in your mouth, but there aren’t any noticeable skin changes.metallic, bitter, or other unusual tastes in the mouth.burning or scalding pain in the mouth (for no reason).If this pain continues for days or months at a time, you might have burning mouth syndrome (BMS). You may feel a burning sensation in your mouth, and it may not have any obvious cause. Avoid products with mint or cinnamon (try switching to flavor-free toothpaste).Avoid acidic foods and drinks like tomatoes, orange juice, and coffee.To help speed up the healing process, here are some tips that may help: Your mouth usually heals fully in about a week. Currently, there are no studies that prove aloe vera’s usefulness in the treatment of mouth burns. Aloe vera can also be found in gel and juice form. Look for mouth rinses that contain aloe vera extract, such as these options online. Aloe veraĪloe vera can soothe a skin burn and it can be used orally as well. Do not take more than the daily recommended dosage of each of these medications. Common OTC medications include ibuprofen ( Advil), acetaminophen ( Tylenol), and benzocaine ( Orajel). You can take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication to help ease the pain and inflammation. This should be done three to four times per day. Prepare the rinse by dissolving 1/2 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of lukewarm water. Saltwater rinses can help with mouth pain and have been shown to promote wound healing. Infections from minor mouth burns are rare. Opt for cool, soft foods until your mouth burns heal. While you’re healing, avoid crunchy foods or foods that have sharp edges or ends.

As popular as ever, Doc and Merle began playing as a trio with T. Watson recorded his first solo album in 1964 and began performing with his son Merle, the same year.Īfter the folk revival waned during the late 1960s, Watson's career was sustained by his performance of the Jimmy Driftwood song " Tennessee Stud" on the 1972 live album recording Will the Circle Be Unbroken. Watson would eventually get his big break and rave reviews for his performance at the renowned Newport Folk Festival in Newport, Rhode Island in 1963. He subsequently began to tour as a solo performer and appeared at universities and clubs like the Ash Grove in Los Angeles. Also of pivotal importance for his career was his Februappearance at P.S. That move ignited Watson's career when he played on his first recording, Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's. In 1960, as the American folk music revival grew, Watson took the advice of folk musicologist Ralph Rinzler and began playing acoustic guitar and banjo exclusively. During his time with Jack Williams, Doc also supported his family as a piano tuner. He later transferred the technique to acoustic guitar, and playing fiddle tunes became part of his signature sound. Following the example of country guitarists Grady Martin and Hank Garland, Watson taught himself to play fiddle tunes on his Les Paul electric guitar. The band seldom had a fiddle player, but was often asked to play at square dances. In 1953, Watson joined the Johnson City, Tennessee-based Jack Williams' country and western swing band on electric guitar. By the time Watson reached adulthood, he had become a proficient acoustic and electric guitar player. Watson stated in an interview with American Songwriter that, "Jimmie Rodgers was the first man that I started to claim as my favorite." Watson proved to be a natural musical talent and within months was performing on local street corners playing songs from the Delmore Brothers, Louvin Brothers, and Monroe Brothers alongside his brother Linny. The first song he learned to play on the guitar was "When Roses Bloom in Dixieland", first recorded by the Carter Family in 1930. Watson's earliest influences were country roots musicians and groups such as the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. Later in that same interview, Watson explained that his first high-quality guitar was a Martin D-18. Watson bought a $10 Stella guitar from Sears Roebuck with his earnings, while his brother bought a new suit. His father told him that if he and his brother David chopped down all the small dead chestnut trees along the edge of their field, he could sell the wood to a tannery. In a 1989 radio interview with Terry Gross on the Fresh Air show on National Public Radio, Watson explained how he got his first guitar. He attended North Carolina's school for the visually impaired, the Governor Morehead School, in Raleigh, North Carolina. The name stuck.Īn eye infection caused Doc Watson to lose his vision before his first birthday. A fan in the crowd shouted "Call him Doc!" presumably in reference to the literary character Sherlock Holmes's sidekick Doctor Watson. According to Watson on his three-CD biographical recording Legacy, he got the nickname "Doc" during a live radio broadcast when the announcer remarked that his given name Arthel was odd and he needed an easy nickname. Watson was born in Deep Gap, North Carolina. This presence may consist of a regional sales office or one person/employee working out of his/her home while performing general missionary work. This license should also be held by companies representing manufacturers/suppliers where such companies have a physical marketing presence in California. This type of license is one frequently issued to agents for out-of-state breweries or wineries who refer to themselves as “brokers.” Such agents differ greatly from true brokers as is shown in the functions they perform. This license type is subject to Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) requirements and requires alcohol servers and managers of alcohol servers to be RBS certified. No more than 15% added flavoring or blending material may be added. Thus, neutral grain or other distilled spirits cannot be used to fortify wine – only brandy of a specific type. Wine must be made from the fermentation of agricultural products to which may be added brandy that is distilled from the same agricultural product from which the wine is made. This is commonly referred to as an “alternating proprietorship.” Separate winegrower licenses are issued to each legal entity manufacturing wine under its own bonded winery permit. Federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations permit a winegrower to use the facilities and equipment of another winegrower to produce wine. A winegrower must have facilities and equipment for the conversion of fruit into wine and engage in the production of wine ( BPC § 23013). The following pertains to new winegrowers’ licenses issued after September 17, 1965. Authorizes the production and sale of wine by wineries. The timber of native UK willow species all share relatively similar properties the most likely candidate species for the willow represented by trace remains on shield fittings from early Anglo-Saxon graves are the often massive-growing white willow ( Salix alba), with less likely candidates being the (smaller) goat willow ( Salix caprea) or crack willow ( Salix euxina and hybrid 'common crack willow' Salix x fragilis). Anglo-Saxon shield-makers would certainly have had an intuitive understanding of the properties of woods available to them, and certainly would have had a sense that among all available woods, willow had perhaps the best combination of toughness, springiness, and lightness, while also being relatively easy to cleave into narrow planks. Despite this lower density, it has impressive toughness (following closely behind birch, ash and oak) and moderate split-resistance exceeding that of oak and alder. 75% of the density of maple, and 65% of the density of birch, ash or oak (Dickinson & Harke, 1992). It is the lowest-density of shield woods from early Anglo-Saxon graves (approx. Thanks to data from Dickinson and Harke (1992) we had known for some time that willow (or black poplar, which is archaeologically indistinguishable, though structurally inferior) was the most common wood used for shields from early Anglo-Saxon graves, accounting for around 1/3 of wood traces associated with shield fittings. The result would provide a theoretical minimum weight for an early Anglo-Saxon shield of practical size, and represent our tenth and most ‘authentic’ shield reproduction to date. In 2021 we undertook a project to reconstruct such a shield – to explore precisely how light such a shield could be for a given diameter, and to explore methods consistent with archaeological clues which might have been employed to embellish such shields, commensurate with the status of their owners, without compromising their performance. We have therefore argued that the princely shields represent a class of very carefully made, high-performance versions of the standard Anglo-Saxon shield, with weight-reduction prioritised over ostentation. This is the lightest combination of fittings possible, among those evidenced from early Anglo-Saxon graves. In a number of these cases the boards were also made of ultra-light-weight willow. In the previous chapter (link) we revealed that (in contrast to the wide variability of shields from contemporary graves) the late 6th century princely burial shields were all practically identical, with suites of four simple disc mounts on the board, simple 1a(i) iron grip reinforcers, and innovative SB-4b / Dickinson’s Type 6 shield bosses – the smallest and lightest of all Anglo-Saxon bosses. Curiously the shields from the other treasure-filled princely burials – Taplow, Broomfield, Prittlewell, Sutton Hoo Mound 17 and others appear especially so, not befitting the status of these burials, with little in the way of decorative fittings, and very minimal, unusually simplified bosses. These replaced in the 14th century by smaller heater shields, such as bouches and pavises, and eventually abandoned in battle, favoring mobility and two-handed weapons.Aside from the magnificently decorated, heavy shield from Sutton Hoo Mound 1, remains of early Anglo-Saxon shields suggest they were typically relatively plain. The Normans introduced the kite shield around the 10th century, giving protection to the user’s legs. In the early European Middle Ages, round shields made with light wood and reinforced with leather were designed for intercepting incoming blows to deflect them. The heavily armored Roman legionaries used large shields to create a tortoise-like formation, great for protection against missiles but not ideas for swift movement. On the other hand, the Ancient Greek hoplites used a round, bowl-shaped wooden shield that was reinforced with bronze. The Mycenaean Greeks, for example, used two types of shields: the “ figure-of-eight” shield and a rectangular “ tower” shield. Lightly armored warriors would generally carry light shields, either small or thin, while heavy troops might rely on robust shields that covered most of the body. Historically, sizes and weights have varied greatly. Shields were used from prehistory to protect against attacks by swords, axes and maces, sling-stones, or arrows. |
