Day 12 cont 💰🧧🇨🇳

The #Liberals have a candidate problem continued:

“Liberal #candidate #ScottYung and party officials have declined to answer detailed #questions about whether his use of #Chinese celebrities and a public relations firm in the 2019 #StateElection complied with official #guidelines, as the Liberal party confirms an #audit of campaign disclosures.

A private dinner at a “luxurious venue” in #Sydney to raise #CampaignFunds for Yung, featuring the former Liberal prime minister #TonyAbbott, has also been cancelled without explanation.”

“Wishing the talented young Chinese Mr #RongSicheng [Scott Yung] has great success ahead and a boundless future! All the best! I’m #ZhangTielin from #Beijing, #China.”

The cursed Liberal Christian name “Scott” strikes again.

😶While we are still permitted #birthcontrol like an #iud this is great #news. They made #guidelines for #doctors to do the intensely painful procedure to #insert it.

“The number of people opting for #intrauterinedevices — T-shaped birth control devices inserted into the uterus and known as #IUDs — is on the rise. As their #popularity has risen, so have the complaints about the #pain people experience during the #procedure.

Can personalized diet advice work better than generic diet advice?

Researchers distinguished clusters of people based on #demographics, #economics, (imputed) cognitive test performance, #food choices, and #taste preferences (N > 3600 households).

Compared to non-targeted #messaging and generic diet #guidelines (control), the targeted advice increased people’s intent to change their intake of #fruit, #vegetables, and #sugar (N = 281).

Their "#Guidelines on Test Use" stress to
"Choose technically sound tests appropriate for the situation" and they offer a fairly extensive definition of what a "test" is, which includes settings, procedures, and other parameters to consider.

They also stress
"...evidence of reliability and validity for their intended purpose"
and that evidence should
"...support the inferences that may be drawn from the scores on the test".

I didn't mess with getting the #reverb just right, or any of that but a lot of insert effects did get used at this point. I think it makes sense why, listening to the album: it's pretty effects heavy/processed. Hey, as a matter of fact, that brings me to some other #guidelines I came up with in the early recording stages.

#EffectsMatter is the first one, and I capitalized it when I wrote it in my notebook, so you know I meant it LOL.

In terms of #TechnicalPhilosophy, I wrote down three #guidelines (I developed/realized/formalized two more later, once recording was in process; I'll talk about those as part of the recording process). Those were:

1) This is an #MPC album. We will write and assemble it in the MPC.
2) Record it by bit, layer by layer; writing is a process of accretion/sedimentary.
3) This is a drum machine album; driven by drum machine beats+composition
