The U.S. bond market is getting battered as traders exit in anticipation of higher rates. However, fixed-income exchange traded fund investors are not limited to U.S. investments and can diversify rate risk with foreign exposure.
For example, the PowerShares Chinese Yuan Dim Sum Bond Portfolio (DSUM) , which has $133.1 million in assets under management, tracks Chinese Renminbi (RMB)-denominated bonds issued by governments, agencies, supranationals and credit securities, excluding synthetics, retails and CDs. DSUM has an effective duration of 2.6 years and a 30-day SEC yield of 3.24%.
Additionally, the Market Vectors Renminbi Bond ETF (CHLC) , which has $5.3 million in assets, provides another option for following Chinese Renminbi-denominated investment grade bonds or bonds from parent companies with investment grade ratings. CHLC has an effective duration of 1.64 years and a 2.52% 30-day SEC yield.
While China may be an emerging market, the two Chinese bond ETFs provide exposure to relatively safe investment-grade bonds. DSUM has a 49% weight to investment grade bonds rated BBB and above, whereas CHLC has 57.1% in investment grade bonds.
The Chinese bond ETFs have also been outperforming U.S. government bonds as Fed tapering speculation ramped up rates in the U.S. DSUM is up 6.1% year-to-date while CHLC is up 4.5% this year.
In comparison, the iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) , which has a similar relatively similar duration of 1.83 years, only returned 0.3% year-to-date. Additionally, SHY comes with a smaller 0.16% 30-day SEC yield.
Potential investors, though, should be aware that since Chinese bond ETFs are denominated in the local yuan currency. Consequently, investors will be exposed to currency risk – if the yuan depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the bonds could generate lower returns once converted into U.S. dollars.
In China, new yuan loans in November were a higher-than-expected 624.6 billion yuan, or $103 billion, compared to a 580 billion yuan median estimate, which suggests authorities are trying to stimulate growth, reports Bloomberg. The PBOC, though, has said that the economy "may see a decline in leverage" over a long period.
"The current pace of extension of credit is still rather strong," Louis Kuijs, chief China economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, said in the article. The latest data "will lead people to wonder how adamant are the authorities to rein in credit growth, how serious are they to contain the increase in leverage."

He attended 12 years of Catholic school and graduated from the University of Illinois. He began his professional career as a paperboy (didn't we all) and matured quickly working his way though numerous menial jobs - factory worker, kitchen helper, pizza maker (not a bad gig), shipping and receiving clerk and go figure, a house painter. During college he started his own painting and contracting company. In the late 80's he moved to Los Angeles to begin a sales career in the paint and coatings industry. In 2012, after 10 years as a top notch sales representative and another decade or so as a blue chip Sales Manager, he was unceremoniously kicked to the curb like an unwanted old piece of furniture ( I humorously embellish for effect) only to begin his new path to a better and more satisfying life.

Iron age started ~ 1200 BC in the Near East, ~ 800 BC in Central Europe, ~ 600 BC in Britain.
Its phase field can be increased by adding Ni => nonmagnetic stainless steels.
Austenite comes from Sir William Chandler Roberts-Austen, a British metallurgist (1843–1902) who published the first phase diagram in 1897
Bainite Katana
Bainite interior, martensite surface, Tough and springy inside, very hard outside.
Bainite comes from E. Bain (Lect 18), US Steel Co, scientists.
Martensite comes from Adolf Marten 1850-1914, the director of the royal mechanical laboratory in Berlin.
Cast Iron
Si in cast iron competes with C. Adding Si reduces the formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
The surface film comes from the Si, that loves to make SiO2
End of Handout formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
It is nearly impossible to teach metallurgy without a historical context, so here is a brief history of steel from the website of a former postdoc of mine H.Foell
Ferrum (Lat) => Iron formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
Most countries have de facto legal specification* for ferrous alloys. I.e. 1020 Steel must have certain properties as defined by ASTM or SAE to be used in products. Otherwise you will be legally liable.
Each country has its own regulation..
* The specification is application dependent. The same steel may be speced by composition for chemical applications, and by mechanical properties of other. So there is considerable overlap
Yes formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
This is a famous case of a phase diagram, that strictly speaking is not an equilibrium diagram.
Which phase diagrams are supposed to be.
If it comes to graphite precipitation, just extend the right border all the way to the carbon end !
Ledeburite formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
Ledeburite is the equivalent to pearlite, but unlike pearlite which form from a eutectiod, Ledeburite is formed, like the classical Pb-Sn eutectic structure, fro a liquid. It was discovered in 1882
It is named after the metallurgist Karl Heinrich Adolf Ledebur (1837-1916), professor of metallurgy at the Bergakademie Freiberg. He discovered ledeburite in 1882.
Ledeburite forms when the carbon content is between 2.06% and 6.67%. The eutectic mixture is 4.3% carbon, Fe3C:2Fe. Its melting point is 1147°C. At 4.3% carbon the metal becomes 100% ledeburite. Ledeburite is a phase mixture, of austenite and cementite (which is a catch all for carbites - there are different forms of cementitite.
ledeburite formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
1. You cool a 1% C steel to room temperature at a moderate rate (I.e no martensite forms).
A) What phases are present
B) What is the weight fraction of each phase
Note: Treat pearlite as single phase. Metallurgist do this all the time, even though it is a mixture of two phases, ferrite and cementite.
Look how well if fits formation of cementite. Promotes tendency for C to come out of solution as as graphite
In the Appendix I put 4 slides that show how useful Calphad diagrams are in practical metallurgy.
The example is Stainless Steel for knifes, using Fe-Cr-C

A = austenite,
B = bainite,
P = pearlite
Ms = start of martensite transformation,
Temperature vs time (sec, then min)
Quenching in a liquid bath at 700°C; holding time 4 min. During this interval the C has separated out, partly as pearlite lamellae and partly as spheroidized cementite. Hardness 225 HV.
Quenching to 575°C, holding time 4 s. A very fine, closely spaced pearlite as well as some bainite has formed. Note that the amount of spheroidized cementite is much less than in the preceding case. Hardness 380 HV.
Quenching to 450°C, holding time 60 s. The structure consists mainly of bainite. Hardness 410 HV.
Quenching to 20°C (room temperature). The matrix consists of, roughly, 93% martensite and 7% retained austenite. There is some 5% cementite as well which has not been included in the matrix figure. Hardness 850 HV.
The pearlite spacing goes as During this interval the C has separated out, partly as pearlite lamellae and partly as spheroidized cementite. Hardness 225 HV.
v a l-2
l a 1/v2
The phase separation requires diffusion over distance During this interval the C has separated out, partly as pearlite lamellae and partly as spheroidized cementite. Hardness 225 HV. l, over a time that scales inversely with v (the faster the front moves) the less time.
Hence on expects from the x = 2SQRT(Dt) rule
l = 2 D.K1(1/v)
where k1 is a constant
The spacing is inversely proportional to the driving force, DG, which is proportional to DT.
A linear relationship is typical for a dissipative process.
Diffusion is a dissipative process
The TTT diagram is a kinetic (non equilibrium) phase diagram.
Martensite begins to form at 430 C, but does not complete to 100% at RT. Thus, there is retained Austenite left. Some C may deplete out into cementite at GB
Martensite is formed by quenching the steel into water or oil.
A problem of considerable practical importance is to know how deep the martensite forms.
A) Consult the course text book on line, or Google and find the simple test performed to assess this quantity (hint: It was developed by an engineer at the Crysler Automotive Co)
B) Find one alloy element the addition of which will increase the depth of "hardening"
This is the classic diagram to design heat treatments. diagram.
However, different parts of the structure will have different heat treatment histories as the interior (no matter what you use to quench) will stay hot longer.
What happens if you hold a quenched steel with a high fraction of martensite at 500oC for periods between 1 sec and 30 years ?
Aermet is the steel used in landing gears of jets. fraction of martensite at 500
The strength increase is alloy carbide formation.
Tempering requires high purity steels. Otherwise P or Sn will migrate to the grain boundaries and embrittle them. Aermet contains less than 0.003% P
We dealt with its forms (white, gray, mallable, ductile) previously, but repetition is the basis of building knowledge
Grey cast iron has high damping and lubricates well. Good corrosion resistance.
Nodular Cast Iron requires addition of Mg and is ductile akin ABS polymers (ask Ober)
White cast iron is hard, brittle and can only be machined by grinding. Great for hard surfaces. Depth to which it forms in metal molds controlled by Cr additions.
Malleable cast iron is white cast iron tempered at 1700 F. The cementite decomposes into ferrite and free carbon which forms small graphite particles or pearlite during cooling
ASTM grad specification based on corrosion resistance. mechanical properties (as opposed for example, corrosion resistance)
Note that the addition of Si makes for good corrosion resistance. We discussed this before, it forms SiO2 at the surface
The End resistance. We discussed this before, it forms SiO
Practical metallurgy : heat treatment for 440C SS for knifes resistance. We discussed this before, it forms SiO
Isothermal sections of the resistance. We discussed this before, it forms SiOcalculated Fe-Cr-C ternary phase diagram are a good starting point when it comes to understanding the various trade-offs between the austenitization temperature selected for heat treatment and the resulting chemical composition of the austenitic matrix.
The composition plane for the Fe-Cr-C ternary phase diagram at 1000°C (1832°F) is shown in the next slide.. The carbon content is plotted along the horizontal axis and the chromium content along the vertical axis of the composition plane.
AISI 440C is a common martensitic stainless steel with 17% Cr and 1.075% C
The Carbon can be dissolved into g or precipitate out as carbide particles (M23C6 - high Cr, or M7C3 - low Cr)
The calphad ternary Fe-Cr-C phase diagram, at 1000oC
The austenite contains 11.7% Cr and 0.3wt% C. The carbide contains 30 at% Carbon
Increasing the Austenite hold temperature to 1100 Cr and 1.075% CoC
The martensite contains 12.7% Cr and 0.53% C
Now meets specs for corrosion resistance and (almost) hardness
Tests show Rockwell 58-60

These days, because of the heavy congestion of people and traffic in Manila, many people are seeking refuge in other places. While some opt to reside in other countries, others choose to remain in the Philippines, with Cebu as one of their top choices for relocation.
Cebu is one of the country's top tourist destinations, and not just because of their dried mangoes and the Sinulog Festival. The real estate and infrastructure development in the Queen City of the south have several property experts believing Cebu to be a great place to live in. Here are some of the reasons why living in Cebu, or at least investing in a Cebu Real Estate, would be a good move.
1. Cebu's strategic location makes it extremely attractive to foreign and local investors alike. In fact, it is home to over 80% of the Philippines' inter-island shipping activity, and it's export industry has enjoyed massive growth, compared to other cities in the country.
2. Investors will also find that the labor cost is lower in Cebu than in Manila, which is made possible by the fact that Cebu's cost of living is also relatively lower than that of Manila.
3. Cebu is very accessible through air and sea travel, and is said to have more international and domestic flights and sea likages that even Manila. The Mactan International Airport hosts various direct international flights to countries like Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Qatar.
4. Cebu is a location rife in culture and history, ensuring the diversity of one'e knowledge about local traditions, religion and the arts.
5. The city is also a haven for frequent vacationers: it is a gateway to other tourist hotspots like Cagayan de Oro, Bohol, and Iloilo, and is close to various beaches.
Whether you are looking to buy a Philippine Real Estate property to invest in or relocate to, Cebu certainly provides all of the necessities that would make your purchase a worthwhile investment.

The interviewer is given an allotted time, and at the end of the hour, or whatever, the secretary/publicist will knock on the door signalling the end of the interview, and the interviewer us ushered out immediately.
I've never heard of a celebrity being kept waiting for an hour and a half and not throwing a tantrum or being cool, then extending the inteview over the alloted time and then offering to drive the interviewer to the airport. Have you?

True North Conference
Recording the Past, Present and Future
5-7 March 2015, Timespan, Helmsdale, Scotland
Documenting is an activity that makes us human, that constitutes our culture in the past, the present, and the future.
The True North conference is for everyone: it is for artists, historians, academics, curators, and researchers; for those with an interest in researching their family history or who like the smell of libraries and archives; and for everyone who blogs, tweets, and shares their story on Facebook, takes photos or makes films.
On Thursday evening, 5th March, we will welcome you to Timespan and Helmsdale with an informal reception and buffet, and an opportunity to meet with all those who have joined us for the conference. On Friday and Saturday we have two full days of presentations, conversations, explorations and more.
On the conference agenda
- Northern Frontiers, a talk by Lateral North presenting their recent publication An Atlas of Productivity, and launching their new touring project developed in collaboration with Timespan.
- Archiving Matters a round table discussion on archiving values and practices with presentations by Lewis-based artist Jon MacLeod, Referendum Curator Amy Todman, artist Nicky Bird, and Timespan's Archive Development Manager Jo Clemens.
- A second round table discussion, Document People, focusing on the role of people when documenting. This session raises questions around the acts of collecting, and sharing, reminiscing and self-presentation and of documenting and of being documented. Speakers include genealogist Chris Halliday, social scientist Matt Sillars, artist Karlyn Sutherland and archaeologist Keir Strickland.

Dizzee Rascal & Cage
Recording Boy In Da Corner
People + Opinion : Artists / Engineers / Producers / Programmers
Photos: Richard Ecclestone
The story of Dizzee Rascal's recent rise to fame sounds a bit like the plot for a Hollywood movie. As an almost unknown 18-year-old (he's now 19), he won the coveted Mercury Music Prize, beating off competition from internationally successful acts like Coldplay and Radiohead. What's more, it turns out that the award-winning album, Boy In Da Corner, is a self-produced work — made, by major label standards, on a budget of virtually nothing.
Most of the programming and recording on Boy In Da Corner took place at his engineer/manager Cage's Belly Of The Beast Studios in London, but the album was mixed at Kenwood residential studio in a leafy suburb of Sheffield, where I met Dizzee and Cage. Despite being acutely camera-shy (which is why he doesn't appear in these photos!), Cage has been a guiding force in Dizzee's career for many years. Cage himself is modest about his role: "I just engineer his stuff really," he says. Dizzee is a little more specific: "He's in charge of all the Pro Tools programming and he sorts out all the new sounds on the computer — he keeps everything in check." Slightly more revealing are the credits for the Boy In Da Corner album, which declare Cage as "Da best manager an artist could dream of havin."
In his joint role as engineer and manager, Cage has been able to help Dizzee preserve the most raw and honest aspects of his music, by shielding him from the meddling influences of unsympathetic A&R reps. "There are a lot of major labels out there who work to templates and formulas," insists Cage, "and that's worth avoiding unless you are happy and willing to slot straight into that role. When 'I Luv U' was originally released some time ago, a lot of label people told us that it was a great track, but then they asked if we could take this or that bit out. If they knew what this kind of music is about and they knew what they were doing then they would know to just leave it, and they would probably have a factory producing this kind of thing!
"It takes a while to get what you want in this business, but it is worth waiting. We talked to a lot of label people, and spent a lot of time with them: It's not just a matter of having a short meeting where they are telling you how great it all is and how much money they are going to give you you have to look past that."
By the time XL Recordings decided to sign Dizzee, he and Cage were already in a position to release Boy In Da Corner on their own Dirtee Stank Productions label. "If people were not willing to take it just as it is then we would have forgotten them and just put it out ourselves," reveals Cage. Fortunately, XL had the foresight to leave Dizzee's music untouched, and they came up with an attractive sub-licensing deal to boot. Cage: "Just as it is with Badly Drawn Boy, and most of the people on the XL label, we have a licensing deal, although it's a long-term one. The basic plus point with XL is that we retain artistic control, and everything defaults to the artist in the event of a dispute, which is almost unheard of! We wouldn't have got that kind of deal with a major label.
"There are a whole load of demands made of an artist besides writing tunes, such as the making of videos and promotion, but you have to do what comes naturally, and if you've gained your reputation through the underground, why change? You've got to build a solid base from the underground, and you have got to keep that, otherwise you'll have burnt your bridges. Then you'd better hope the pop thing works out, although it probably won't because on a large-scale project you have to sell about 750,000 albums to make it financially viable!"
The Mercury Prize was undoubtedly a huge boost to Dizzee's career, and it has offered him the chance to break into the mainstream music market, but Dizzee has been building a reputation on the UK underground urban music scene for several years. In fact, an early version of the third track on the album, 'I Luv U', had previously been a massive hit on the underground. "That track was made a long, long time ago," says Cage, "but only a couple of DJs had it on dub plate. It took a while for people to get used to it. There are a lot ideas in there and the beat alone was a fresh thing for the scene, but on top of that, the whole song was very different."
"DJ Slimzee from Rinse FM was the one who made it big," adds Dizzee. "He totally broke the tune," agrees Cage, "and then people realised it was an excellent tune to MC over. But it was a long time before it grabbed the attention of the next level of journalists, and spread beyond the scene. That was really a calling card, and lots of labels started to come forward after hearing it."
Although he is now recognised for his rapping (or spitting) skills, Dizzee started out as a DJ as much as anything else, providing the backing for practising MCs to rap over. "I must have started mixing jungle records when I was around 13 or 14," he explains. "The people around me were doing the MC'ing, but all the time I was learning about how rap music fitted together: I was having to keep track of the sounds, I was learning to bring things in after 16 or 32 bars or whatever, and all the time I was hearing how the vocals were fitting in with the rhythm.
"I was about 15 years old when I started spitting, and by that time the knowledge of how to do it was already in me. I knew it was important to come with my own style, so at first I broke things down into simple rhymes, but I was still spitting fast because of the garage influence — so I learnt to do the hard thing first!"
By the time Dizzee met Cage, he had already recorded a couple of tracks in another studio, and those were doing the rounds on the London's urban music scene. "I didn't have a manager then," explains Dizzee, "I was doing my own thing, but my MC friend Wylie introduced me to a guy called Danny S, who had a studio in Greenwich. I didn't know how to use a sampler back then, and I didn't have one, I just used whatever was in the studio. I wasn't too fussed about the technical side, but I knew what I wanted to hear, so I would bring in CDs with bass lines and drum loops that I wanted to use, and I'd let the studio engineers load it all into the computer. The whole time I was recording there, Cage had his studio around the corner, although I didn't know him at the time."
It wasn't long before Dizzee found himself visiting Cage's studio to provide some vocal work for a new track. "Cage had made the beat for this track already," says Dizzee, "but I had a vocal hook and a lyric for it. It went from there, and I just moved studios. I was 16 at the time."
Cage provides some more detail. "I had a programming suite called Belly Of The Beast in a commercial block of studios. Back then it was in Bermondsey, in South London, and Dizzee was building beats two doors away, but on that occasion he was pulled in especially for this tune. From my perspective it was immediately obvious that, unlike a lot of people, he was really switched on, and knew what he wanted to do straight away. He was also really interested in everything. A lot of people come into the studio, sit in the corner, do their vocal and then leave, but Diz was up and about, asking questions, and grabbing controls on the desk."
Another aspect of Dizzee's character which immediately impressed Cage was his ear for an original sound. "Normally, kids come in and ask for the sound on this or that artist's record, or they want this week's bass or drum sound, which is obviously boring, but for some reason Diz always wanted something different, whatever horrible, distorted, industrial 909 kick-drum sound it was at the time."
One thing that makes Boy In Da Corner particularly unusual is the way that Dizzee has used very raw and unprocessed synth sounds to form the body of his compositions. Dizzee explains how he makes his extreme selections. "The reason I use those kind of sounds is because I've always liked jungle. When people moved onto the garage thing I thought it was all too nice-sounding, and I didn't really get into it. I was still into jungle, and even now I still have a bit of that in me, as you can hear from the bass line in 'Wot U On'."
"The 'Wot U On' pounding bass was done with the most horrible bass sounds known to man," laughs Cage, "straight out of a Studio Electronics ATC1. Diz just said 'Give me that sound,' the minute he heard it. I noticed that he wanted to use the really nasty drum kit sounds too!"
The control room at Kenwood, with the Yamaha 02R and Apple Macs used in the completion of Boy In Da Corner.
Dizzee remains adamant that using uncompromising sounds is a vital aspect of his music: "I think it's really important that you shouldn't be afraid to use something if you like it, no matter how f**ked the sound, because it might be just the thing the tune needs. I just instinctively know that certain drums will sound good together with certain bass sounds or synths, but it all depends on what else you have chosen.
"Some people process sounds too much, but to me, that defeats the object. For example, a lot of people would have got rid of the oriental-sounding shamisen part which goes on all the way through 'Brand New Day', but I felt that it was a really interesting sound, which didn't remind me of anything else. So I like using the sounds that are about as 'out there' as they come."
When asked, Cage is reluctant to say exactly where the sounds came from on Boy In Da Corner, although he does offer some clues. "In terms of the sounds on that record, it's a mixture of all sorts, but it's not really samples. We have used samples for certain sounds, although was usually just for the odd beat. A lot of the sounds we used are easily found out there in popular sound modules. We've used Emu modules, and there is an MPC60 MkII in the studio, but people should just try stuff out and see what happens. There is no substitute for a good idea!"
It becomes evident from speaking to Dizzee for just a short period of time that he is quite obsessed with the idea of getting the tune done and dusted in the most immediate and direct way possible. When, for example, Cage explains that some tunes can be done with just one bit of kit, Dizzee quickly adds "That's it! Most of the tunes are done that way!" Dizzee is equally keen to point out how little time he spends arranging the drum and bass parts of his tracks. "I'm good with drum patterns, and I find it very easy to make or lay down a beat. Once I hear a sound that I like, that's it. When it's quite a minimal track, I can do the beat in a matter of seconds. There might still be a bit more work to be done, and I might try one or two ideas, but why spend a day on one tune when you can do four?"
"Some people spend a day on one beat," adds Cage, "but 'I Luv U' was made in about half an hour. You can program things to death, but, I can't say it enough, there is no substitute for having a good idea in the first place."
Cage explains how the basis of the tracks were created: "Dizzee played the drums straight into Logic Audio's MIDI sequencer. He usually plays the kick, hi-hat and snare all in one go, to create the main beat. Those elements are the minimum requirements for one of Dizzee's main beats. In any one pass he likes to play in a four-bar part, a little fill, or an eight straight away. Obviously, we can add little bits at any time, but in terms of programming after that, it is just a matter of quantising the playing. We don't really start looking into editing because as far as we're concerned, it's played, done and it works.
"Before recording the lyrics, we work out where this and that element of the composition needs to be added, so by the time we start recording vocals, everything else is done, and we don't need to add anything. It's important to get the bed of the track done properly so that Dizzee can get the right feeling on the vocal."
On many of the tracks on Boy In Da Corner there are dual vocal parts, sometimes tracked by Dizzee, and elsewhere by guest MCs. In many places, the vocal interplay is quite complicated and impressive. Cage offers his thoughts on Dizzee's vocal arrangement talents. "The first thing that impressed me when I met Diz was that he knew exactly how he wanted to produce his vocals the minute he went into the studio. I've never met a vocalist who has been able to say 'I want to do this bit to here, come off the back of that beat or vocal there, then have a gap of two bars here.' He then gets on with it and fills it all in."
Dizzee offers us some insight into his approach to vocal arrangement. "When I am building a track I try to view it from an MC's perspective, so I bear in mind what I will be doing when I am MC'ing over the top. Basically, I keep the track a minimal as I can. Similarly, when I'm writing or working out the lyrics I always have the beat in mind, so I think it's fair to say that I perfect my writing at the same time as I perfect my beats, and because I am thinking about everything at the same time, it all fits together. It's logical, like maths really. I've heard that you use the same part of your brain for maths as you do for music.
"Sometimes I work out the vocals by performing the rap to some other beat while I'm sitting at home. I'll be spacing out the patterns, saying it all to myself, over and over again until I know where I am in each part of the track, so I am rehearsing it before I get on the mic. Even if it is just for 10 minutes, I make sure that by the time I get in the studio, I have it all implanted in my mind, and I know that this bit needs to go there, and this bit needs to go here. There might be a 16- or 32-bar intro before I come in, then I'll spit 16 bars, followed by an eight-bar chorus, and then another 16-bar verse; so I space it out like that. I can't say where I get that inspiration from, though — who knows? I just love mucking around with vocals."
According to Cage, to ensure that the tracks on Boy In Da Corner had the most unconsciously direct vocal performance, the takes that were eventually used were quite often the very first ones. Dizzee explains how he managed to get such complicated vocal parts right in the first pass. "I'm used to MC'ing on pirate radio, where I'm spitting and shouting my mouth off for two hours, so working in the studio is not a long thing for me. I can just go in there and do it straight off."
To record the vocals, a Neumann TLM103 large-diaphragm condenser mic was fed into a Drawmer 1960 mic preamp/compressor. "On the way in I used heavy compression, but nothing else," explains Cage. "I had the compressor set with a fast attack, a short release, and I just tweaked the ratio and threshold depending on how open the track needed to be."
By the time XL signed Dizzee, most of the material for Boy In Da Corner was written, but many songs still needed to be finished or recorded properly. A fairly tight completion deadline was then set by XL, so Dizzee and Cage immediately headed up to Sheffield to finish things off at Kenwood Studios. "From the time we signed the deal with XL it was a total frenzy to finish the album," explains Cage. "The studio that we were in was chaotic because people were always walking in and out. That sort of environment is a good thing when you are writing, but it is not what you need when you need to mix a record down in two weeks! Another problem was that we'd been listening to everything on big subs, which sounded really nice, but at Kenwood they have reference monitors and a really neutral room, so we also came here to make sure it was all clear at the sub-bass level."
The vocal booth where some of Dizzee's vocals were recorded with a Neumann TLM103 mic.
The first thing that the team needed to do before they got started at Kenwood was gather all the relevant materials necessary to put the album together. Some of the songs, like the aforementioned 'I Luv U', had already been released, either as white label discs, or on Dizzee's own Dirtee Stank label. Other material, however, hadn't made it past the MIDI stage, and needed to be recorded pretty quickly. Cage: "A lot of this stuff wasn't recorded as audio when it was originally done because we didn't have the equipment, so just before coming here we were still having to bounce the parts in off the synths. These days, as soon as we decide something is done, we just bounce it in straight away."
Apart from the MIDI problems, there were also a few tracks that still required vocal recording, including 'Do It!', 'Jus' A Rascal' and certain parts of 'Jezebel'. The Kenwood vocal booth was used for those parts.
All the mixing was done by Dizzee and Cage, although both were keen to point out that it was judged by ear, rather than using any formal studio techniques. "The only thing I went by was how it should sound," explains Dizzee. "I'm sure techno or electro people have their techniques for how to make this or that sound, but this sort of thing comes from inside me, and if it is natural then you don't have to be too technical. Cage knows how things should sound as well."
"We're both on the same wavelength," adds Cage, "and I know how he will want something to sound because that is how I will want it to sound. But we were always trying to create atmosphere, space and feeling in the tracks. If, for example, a song has a certain feel because of the lyrical theme, then it might just be a case of putting an effect on the voice to create the right feeling. It's a matter of getting the production to match the song, so if it's an angry song, we might make it sound harder and dryer, and give it a little more distortion, but we weren't working to any formula."
The one thing that both Dizzee and Cage were specific about is the impact that the sub-bass should have. "It's very important," states Dizzee, and Cage agrees: "In my opinion, the basic rule for any dance music or rhythmic music worth its salt is that the drums and bass need to be as big as you can make them, because they are key."
In terms of equipment, very few of the Kenwood facilities were needed. An Apple G4 running Logic Audio, and fitted with a Mackie UAD1 PCI card, provided 16 digital outputs which fed the Yamaha 02R desk. Nevertheless, the Yamaha was used for monitoring and submixing duties. "All I was doing was using its digital inputs for submixing to DAT," explains Cage. "All the mixing was done on the G4, basically. The main effects we used were from a TC Powercore."
Boy In Da Corner is such a raw and honest record that it stands out from much of the competition which is, all too often, watered down to appeal to global markets. Whether Dizzee will continue making similarly uncompromising records, now that he has more time, money and artistic clout, remains to be seen, but his follow-up will certainly be eagerly awaited. At the time of our interview, Dizzee and Cage were already well into the production of the new project, and Dizzee was very happy to explain some of his ideas. "There are some tracks that didn't make it onto the first album, and I've been thinking about some things I didn't get a chance to say, so the next one will be carrying on the momentum from Boy In Da Corner. But a lot of the stuff is new and I may be coming back with some music you wouldn't expect me to be making, like ragga. It will definitely be larger-sounding because I am more advanced, vocally and lyrically, and I'm making some bigger beats which are more out-there.
"I've got a my own little Pro Tools system now alongside the main computer, so now I have a bit more time to do this second album, I'm getting more involved in the computer side of things. Pro Tools is like another little world — there is so much in there! It's a bit like the first time I went from using a little mixer and Cubase to a proper studio. And now I am working with Pro Tools, and a lot of people my age don't even get to see that. I love mucking around with new sounds, new equipment, new ways of spitting, and new ideas. Making music is almost therapy."

text: I'm putzing around with some ideas and need a sanity check. I'd like to install some window insulation along the lines of an insulated panel that recesses into the wall like a pocket door. I was thinking 2"foam board nicely finished that would disappear into the wall when not in use and be able to pull it out at night. Here's what I'm having trouble with, so check me on it: To simplify things I'm ignoring the studs and other factors, this is for concept only. To do heat loss calculations I take the various R factors for the wall, add them up and multiply them by the square footage. (Example: 3.5" spray foam R-17, 2" foam board R-10 and 3.5" fiberglass R-14 equals R-41. Don't quote me on numbers). Next I would take the window R factor (R-2) and multiply it by the area of the window. (Say 2'x3'=6 sq ft) So far so good. If I slide the foam panel from the wall to the window I've removed that insulation from the wall, so now I have a 6 sq ft area that is only R-31 while the 6 sq ft of window goes up to R-12. It seems like there is no gain, but intrinsically I feel there would be a large benefit since I wouldn't have an R-2 hole sucking the heat out. What am I missing??


text: I have SnowJB rom and Mysteryemotionz 6.1 kernel and it seems like every now and then when playing a game I get a quick freeze/hesitation in gameplay. A good example is in Asphalt 8 when I cross the finish line of the very first track. Almost every time when I cross the finish line there is a stutter or hesitation of the gameplay graphics. This seems to happen every 30 seconds in games. Is it the rom, the kernel, a game loading problem, other apps causing this, leftover interference from other roms, a hardware issue? Anyone know this, how to fix this? Thanks.

Dish Network Corp. is currently setting down details of future merging with T-Mobile US Inc., people close to the matter said. The deal is predicted to accelerate a wave of consolidation across the U.S. media and communications industries.
Both companies are in close agreement about what the combined body would look like. Dish Chief Executive Charlie Ergen will become thechairman and his T-Mobile counterpart, John Legere, will perform responsibilies of CEO, the sources claim.
"Tougher questions about a purchase price and the mix of cash and stock that would be used to pay for a deal remain unresolved, the people said. One of the people characterized the talks as at "the formative stage," and said an agreement might not ultimately be hammered out," The Wall Street Journal writes.
"If completed, the deal would be the latest multibillion-dollar combination in traditional television and communications industries being upended by the Internet. T-Mobile rival AT&T Inc. is close to wrapping up its $49 billion deal for Dish rival DirecTV that will create the country's largest pay-TV company. Meanwhile, Charter Communications Inc. recently announced a total of $67 billion in deals that would roll up Time Warner Cableand Bright House Networks to create the second-largest U.S. cable operator," the publication adds.
Experts are sure that the upcoming deal will be quite a significant one as T-Mobile has a market capitalization of about $31 billion, a little below Dish's $33 billion.
By the way, one of the most outstanding "wireless" deal was completed two years ago when Verizon Communications Inc. agreed to pay $130 billion to buy Vodafone Group's 45% stake in Verizon Wireless and take full control of the nation's top wireless carrier. The deal was announced by Vodafone after the close of trading on the London Stock Exchange.
The two firms said Vodafone would get $58.9 billion in cash, $60.2 billion in Verizon stock, and an additional $11 billion from smaller transactions that would take the total deal value to $130 billion.
The British group will return 71 percent of the net proceeds to shareholders. All the stock will go to shareholders, plus $23.9 billion in cash, after the deal is finalized, likely to be in the first quarter of 2014.
"This is great news for Verizon on many fronts," said Jeff Kagan, an independent technology industry analyst. "One of which is the world is rapidly moving toward wireless, and there are still enormous opportunties for growth going forward."
"It's the best-run wireless operator in the U.S., and by some measures maybe the best-run wireless operator in the world," Craig Moffett, an analyst at Moffett Research LLC, said on Bloomberg Television before the agreement was announced.
Verizon has been trying for more than a decade to win back control of its wireless business — the most profitable in the United States.
Chief Executive Lowell McAdam and Verizon Chief Financial Officer Francis Shammo spent time discussing the deal with Verizon's largest shareholders, Mr. McAdam said.

Amy Winehouse has belatedly been granted the visa she needed to perform in person at tonight's Grammy Awards.
The British singer had attempted to process the work permit earlier last week but her application was initially rejected by the US Embassy.
She has now received permission to travel to the US but, given the late notice, will not be going ahead with a sudden trip across the Atlantic.
Instead she will perform via videolink to the ceremony, where she is up for six awards.
Her hit single Rehab and its even bigger album Back to Black put her in a strong position to do well in the ceremony, the 50th Grammys, with nominations for categories including record of the year, best new artist and best female pop vocal performance.
She is not leading the way in the nomination stakes, however, for US rapper Kanye West is named in eight categories.
The other contenders for the best album prize are West's Graduation, Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters, Vince Gill's These Days and the Foo Fighters' Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace.

Mumbai, Apr 4: The Shiv Sena-BJP members today staged a walk out in both houses of the Maharashtra Legislature, alleging that the State Government had not been able to control increase in prices of essential commodities and the increasing rate of inflation, which has touched a three-year high at 7 per cent.
They were dissatisfied with the reply in the council, given by Civil Supplies Minister Sunil Tatkare on the price rice and black marketing, flourishing in the State in an organised manner.
The issue of inflation was raised by Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena), who alleged that the State Government was doing nothing to control the prices. He said the frequent increase in petrol and diesel prices had hit the people hard, but the State Government has not made any provisions in the budget for checking inflation.
In the assembly, the issue of price hike was raised by leader of opposition Ramdas Kadam, and Eknath Khadse (BJP). Sena member Neelam Gorhe said during the Sena-BJP tenure, prices of essential commodities had been kept under check, but the incumbent government has failed to tackle this issue. She said that prices have risen owing to lack of storage facilities for vegetables and other essential items.
Pasha Patel (BJP) said farmers in the state are facing severe problems as they are not being paid proper prices for their crops although the cost of agricultural inputs have risen.
Arun Gujrati of NCP also expressed the need to check the prices of foodgrains, but said it was wrong to blame the Government for the inflation. He also stressed need for some control on future trading.
Later, Civil Supplies Minister Sunil Tatkre informed the House that the State Government is worried about the rise in prices and is taking appropriate steps. Palm oil prices will be reduced, in between Rs 25 to Rs 30, in May and the State is also trying to reduce prices of cereals by importing them, he said. ''Strict action will be taken against hoarders,'' the Minister assured.
The Government, he said, would provide subsidy on essential commodities and the receipt would be mandatory for purchase from fair price shops.
