this all of my favorite artist's album, her songs is so soothing for me , its recommadable artirst if u like music like me , fun fact;''Lana Del Rey has one of the most enigmatic personalities of modern pop, and it’s won her one of the most devoted audiences of the 2010s. ''amazing right ,she is very famous in both genders, MORE FUN FACTS ABOUT HERRR ,At age 18, Lana began performing in clubs around Brooklyn, NY under various monikers including Lizzy Grant, May Jailer, and Sparkle Jump Rope Queen. Around the same time, she began attending Fordham University in The Bronx, where she majored in philosophy with a specific focus on metaphysics.and

was interested in God and how technology could bring us closer to finding out where we came from and why

Is what she said about her degree when asked. The theme of God and science remains persistent in all of her music. Alongside her college major, some of her song themes were the effect of attending a Christian high school.

She signed her first recording contract with 5 Points Records in 2007 and her first digital album, Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant, was released in January 2010.

Traces of this era can still be found online but this commercially unsuccessful epoch was ultimately abandoned to make way for the rebrand of Lana Del Rey.

In 2011, a homemade music video for “Video Games” was uploaded to Lana’s YouTube channel. The track became a viral sensation, sparking widespread interest in the artist, and she signed with Interscope/Polydor in the October of that year. On the acknowledgements for her fifth studio album, Lust for Life she wrote

''Abel, I still think of the day u posted video games on your Tumblr. Grateful for u.'' now information about her

Since then, Lana has delivered a flair unlike any other artist of her generation, praised for its cinematic sound and references to various aspects of pop culture, particularly that of the 1950s and 1960s Americana.

After many studio releases that were removed from streaming platforms to make way for her rebrand, Lana explained the meaning of her stage name and how it was influenced by her time in Florida while in college.

I wanted a name I could shape the music towards. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba – Lana Del Rey reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.

Before using Del Rey, she initially chose the alternate spelling Lana Del Ray and released an album under that name, but ultimately chose the latter moving forward.

On January 27, 2012, Lana’s first major-label project, Born to Die, was released. Despite mixed reviews from critics, it is the second-longest charting album on the Billboard 200 by a female artist, and gave Lana her best-known smash hit “Summertime Sadness”.

Later that year, the Grammy-nominated EP Paradise was released, and was packaged alongside the reissue of Born to Die.

Two years later, the atmospheric album Ultraviolence was released, showcasing a slightly darker sound and theme. The term comes from the Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange, and refers to excessive or unjustified violence.

2015 saw the arrival of Honeymoon which Lana described as being “a tribute to Los Angeles”. The album became the subject of much critical acclaim, garnering the most praise of all of her projects before it, with some even calling it her best work yet.

Her fifth studio album Lust For Life followed in 2017, packing some high-profile features with artists including The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti and Stevie Nicks. Billboard called it a “new-age folk” record and it was named in the Top 50 Best Album of the Year lists by several high-profile music publications.

After much anticipation, teasing and at least one deferred release date, on August 30, 2019, Norman Fucking Rockwell! was debuted to the world. This album earned her Grammy nominations and places on year-end lists, launching her further than ever into the limelight.

Only days after NFR!’s release, in an interview with The Times, Lana confirmed that a new project entitled Chemtrails Over the Country Club (originally called as White Hot Forever) was in the works with a potential release in 2020. Nearing the end of 2019, Lana also announced she would be releasing a spoken word poetry album on January 4th, 2020, as the book itself was taking long to hand-bind.

Similar to the way Chemtrails Over The Country Club was announced, Lana took to Instagram after the release of Chemtrails to announce a follow-up eighth studio album called Blue Banisters (which was originally supposed to be called ‘Rock Candy Sweet’) that was expected to be released on July 4th, 2021, however was delayed for October 22nd of the same year. Three singles from Blue Banisters were released on May 20th, 2021.there is more but lets move on there now im going to tell my recommedation for her songs , in top 10 is born to die , i love this song , it is really famous in most countries , like western , and other more in top 9 is venice b1tch[this is is i cannot say]this song melody is so good , her songs it rymthys so good , this song is about love song and the american-made in top 8 is brooklyn baby this one is also amazing ,it is about her boyfriend, its love song again,which means se saying ''Del Rey declares, “You’re the man of my dreams, ‘cause you know how to leave.” top 7 is ''high in beach'' it is a moody and melancholic after being alone in 2015 top 6 is ''ride'' which the song is about ''No one loves a small-town Americana escape-meets-Lolita story more than Lana Del Rey, and “Ride” delivers a swelling ballad that recalls the quiet brilliance of “Video Games.” in top 5 is '' of to the races'' ''Lana Del Rey’s love of literature is underrated — but hyper-obvious — throughout her discography, but it’s on full display on this singsong-y track, which casts Del Rey as a life-hardened Lolita and her “old man” as a less gentile Humbert'' in top 4 is ''norman f0cking rockwell'' it means uhm i cant really say it but uh ill just put it ''Lana Del Rey opens her 2019 album of the same name with the stinging lyrics “Goddamn, man-child/You fucked me so good that I almost said ‘I love you,'” in top 3 is ''west coast '' it means ''Ambition and romance are warring forces on “West Coast,” one of Del Rey’s most psychedelic, unconventionally structured songs. In the “A” section of the rock ballad, the surf guitar is driving and tense, '' in top 2 is the greatest'' the meaning is “The Greatest” is the climax of Norman Fucking Rockwell!, a brilliant bicoastal reflection of pop culture in the same vein as Bob Dylan’s “Murder Most Foul,” Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” in top one is ''video games'' made in 2011 its about

''The song that started it all: Lana Del Rey’s debut single under her new name created a whole aesthetic movement, changed the goal posts for pop music, and most importantly,'' that is all thank you[the image it isnt mine]

I hope you enjoy the above image. I entered some text into an AI image generator to "make" it.

and now, a story:

In 2019, I began working on a solar energy array to be installed on a property in Queens NY. The site was being developed as a low-income retirement community, and the developer was interested in adding a renewable energy system to the project.

The Brooklyn-based solar install company I was working for was selected to be the installer because the developer had an existing relationship with the solar company. But the developer didn’t want to run the solar scope, instead they made us be a subcontractor to the GC for all the work at the site.

This meant that the solar work had to be performed in compliance with the GC’s rules and requirements, as well as their obligations to all other parties in the Prime agreement.

Turns out there was a tinsy bit of federal HUD money funding the project (in addition to private equity and a couple big banks) which meant the project was subject to a whole raft of federal regulations, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. (D-B PW)

Now, the solar company and I had experience with PW jobs, but not like this.

The GC’s labor compliance department had someone onsite every day tracking our guys clocking in and out, watching them take their breaks, and noting the various tasks they were performing.

Our payroll people had to submit certified payroll reports to the GC’s labor compliance people every week (we actually had to go from biweekly payroll to weekly for the whole company, because of this project).

Halfway through the install, we received a notice that some of the guys were doing work that fell under the ironworker classification in the D-B PW rates schedule.

What?!

The labor people thought they were doing the best job they could do in classifying the tasks they were seeing. Our guys spent 2 weeks bolting L-feet and aluminum extruded solar racking rail to the roof decking. Because the hardware was called “rail”, the labor people decided that our guys had to be paid like ironworkers.

This “opinion” and the resulting math meant that our crew of 5, working 8 hrs days, should have been paid $78 per hr, not $52. Suddenly, we had $10,000 in exposure to the GC related to labor underpayment. The GC was going to withhold this amount from payment to us for scope completed, unless we paid our guys the proper amount.

Well, we set about to correct the perception that ironworker was the correct classification.

This took a lot of research into the minutiae of the D-B PW regs, and more that a ridiculous amount of explanation about what solar rail is and how it is installed.

While we were able to make 'ironworker' go away, we weren’t in the clear. These classification issues and the related exposures would persist throughout the project.

Following Mechanical Completion, and on our way to Substantial, we got some bad news.

We had been paying our electricians $62 per hr for the work on the DC side of the inverters:

- Opening pallets, moving modules, bolting them to the racking, connecting the MC4s, terminating homerun wires, wire management, etc.

Labor compliance sent a notice that the proper rate for electricians was $116 per hr.

This was a $53,000 problem.

Turns out that in NYC, the union (Local 3 IBEW) had an agreement with the city to define solar install work on the DC side. They had amended the collective bargaining agreement with the NYC DOL in the last couple of years. The text defined the work and determined the proper rate was to be $62 per hr. That was the rate we were using.

But the federal DOL didn’t recognize this classification. In the D-B PW classification list, they only have one bucket for “Electrician”, and the rate is $116.

We were using the wrong PW rate schedule. The one we had always used in NYC wasn’t valid here. We had bid the project with a labor cost assuming NYC PW rates.

We went back to the contract documents, and sure enough, there was an exhibit that called out the Federal PW schedule.

This was a big problem.

We told the GC about the local PW rate, and why we were “underpaying” our guys. The GC realized the pain we were in, and offered to poke around to see if there was something that could be done. The GC told some contacts they had in the housing department in NYC.

The amazing housing people on Gold Street in NYC said they would support us in a petition to the Federal DOL to look at the situation and request a formal decision on the proper rate for this work.

We prepared the proper paperwork, and a letter outlining the situation. We even supplied, as an exhibit, the Local 3 amendment to the CBA that defines the solar install work and gives the rate.

Our letter basically said, “Hey DOL, there are over 250,000 people working in solar in the USA, and you don’t have a labor classification for the work they do. This labor rate for Electrician that you have covers all kinds of complicated work where knowledge of code is critical and the workers need training in using specialty tools. Solar is kinda more like putting sheets of plywood down on rafters and then running extension cords. It seems reasonable to take the position that you should recognize this other type of work as distinct and assign it a reasonable rate. Look, even the IBEW here in NYC acknowledges this. They already picked a rate. Can we pay our guys that number? “

The DOL wrote back, “Nope.”

We appealed.

They took another look at the situation and reported back. At this point, the project was almost done, and the GC was holding onto a lot of money that was requested in our G702 payment applications.

I have read that letter the DOL sent dozens of times (it is written in English), and I still do not understand their reasoning. But they did declare that they performed a work task analysis and evaluated the market conditions for similar comparable tasks in the trades. They even interviewed reps at the relevant unions to help constrain the range for the proper rate.

They arrived to a rate that complied with the federal rules related to how DOL runs this kind of analysis. They said we had to pay our people $84 per hr.

This wasn’t $57 per hr, and so we still had an underpayment issue. But it made the $53,000 problem into a $21,000 one.

Our contacts at NYC housing said this was a huge victory and we should be really proud of ourselves.

So now, whenever we bid a PW project in NYC, we ask to see the rate schedule, and we triple check to see if it is NYC PW rates, or Federal rates.

When it is Federal rates, we price our elec labor at $84 per hour ( we like living on the edge).

Then we get the notice of underpayment halfway through the project, with the citation that D-B PW says electricians should get $116 per hr.

Then we initiate a rate classification inquiry to the DOL, and we submit the letter we got from DOL in 2022 as an exhibit. “Hey, remember when you did a study on this exact matter and arrived to $84 per hr?” So far, it has worked out in our favor a couple times.

Our crew loves working on those jobs.

Sometimes, I wonder what the difference is between open shop rates, and local PW rates, and federal rates for other geographies.

I even once suggested to SEIA that they investigate this. Maybe in Southern California or Georgia or Illinois the difference between the federal D-B PW rate for electricians isn’t so high as in NYC. But maybe it is high enough that petitioning the DOL to make a bucket for solar installation would result in a few of millions of dollars in labor cost savings across dozens of projects. Reducing project costs by that kind of money would increase the amount of solar installed every year in this county.

I guess there just aren’t that many projects elsewhere in the states that are subject to federal D-B PW rates. Oh well.

Which brings me to “photovolfaic”

The original letter we got from DOL responding to our rate classification inquiry contained this typo in the critical section naming the Proposed Classification. The second letter from them referred to the first, so they used the same term. All subsequent letters and official correspondence from DOL have referred to the proposed classification as:

“Electrician-Solar Photovolfaic Systems”

( I guarantee that our original SF-1444 form sent to DOL contained the proper spelling in the field for “Proposed Classification Title”. )

I once called my contact at DOL to try to attempt to correct the misspelling, while being humble about “photovolfaic” being an unfamiliar term to me. She was firm that I needed to honor the classification defined by DOL and referenced in their letters.

Therefore, I have preserved the use of the term as they spelled it in every following letter.

It’s pretty silly. But my engagement with them requires me to be deferential. The power differential in this relationship has me perpetuating their error.

I fear that this matter will escalate to some senior labor official in the White House and we will end up catching a clip of Joe Biden on CNN talking about growth in “photovolfaics”.

Anyway, my co-workers and I joke that it is actually a real word, traceable back to Olde Englisċ, perhaps originating in a draft manuscript by Chaucer.

This idea became an image in my head that I couldn’t shake. So, I URL’ed over to an AI image generator and now I have this memento of the hundreds of hours I have spent dancing with the DOL about how much to pay the guys who lay the glass.

I hope you like it. Have a sunny day
