Dust Volume 10, Number 5

Arab Strap

It’s lovely out. The lilacs are in bloom. The weather is warm enough to make a sweater/sweatshirt/coat redundant, and the bugs are swarming happily all over the garden. And yet, here we are, inside, ear buds in place, music on high, because however nice the weather, what if we missed something? What if, you, our readers missed something? Well, fear not, because we’re back with another set of short, impassioned reviews. Scottish lifers obsessed with their phones, South African jazzmen nearly forgotten, mumbling rappers, untethered improvisers—it’s all here for you. What, you were going out? Too nice to stay inside? Well, okay, it’ll be here when you get back.

Contributors include Ian Mathers, Justin Cober-Lake, Ray Garraty, Bill Meyer, Bryon Hayes, Jonathan Shaw, Andrew Forell, Christian Carey, Alex Johnson and Jennifer Kelly.

Arab Strap — I'm totally fine with it 👍 don't give a fuck anymore 👍 (Rock Action)

youtube

Even more surprising than this Scottish duo’s perversely triumphant return a few years ago is that in 2024 Aidan Moffat is writing more about the internet than about cheating and booze. (He’s still writing about those things too though, don’t worry.) Less shocking is that his laceratingly keen eye is no less effective when turned on his own relationship with his phone, or the way women are treated by the “fathers, husbands, sons and brothers” around them as soon as the deniability of a screen is in place, or the psychology of someone who turns to QAnon. And not just technology; with songs addressing those who’ve never recovered from the early-pandemic hit to their ability to go outside and those capitalism leaves to die in solitude, this might be the least relationship-y Arab Strap LP to date. Malcolm Middleton roughs up their sound again to match the bruised, heartfelt brutality of Moffat’s subject matter and the result is one of the most simultaneously empathetic and unsettling records from a band who’ve never been short on either quality.

Bad Nerves — Still Nervous (Suburban)

youtube

For their second album Still Nervous, punk rockers Bad Nerves take their ready-made formula and just amp everything up. Everything's loud and fast; the band clearly descends from the Ramones, but they've gone more manic. They secretly mix in flourishes of power pop. Underneath all the ruckus, they have a knack for catchy melodies, guitar solos and even vocal harmonies. Then Bad Nerves rough up the pop elements to make sure their disaffection comes through with enough spite to keep everything properly punk. The record does little to vary mood or tempo, but it doesn't need to. The band does one thing, but they excel at it. The Strokes comparisons the band's received mostly work, but the lo-fi production keeps everything sounding as if it's in an actual garage. “Plastic Rebel” offers a youthful rampage, bubble gummy enough to touch on Cheap Trick, but continually plowing forward. The Essex quintet closes the album with “The Kids Will Never Have Their Say,” an evergreen sentiment for the young and irritable. The point doesn't break new ground, but it's beside the point. Bad Nerves tap into something long running and rush the tradition on with plenty of verve and a hint of bile.

Conway the Machine — Slant Face Killah (Drumwork \ EMPIRE)

youtube

If it wasn’t for Conway’s name on the copy to the album you’d think this was a long solo producer tapes with 40 guests on it, each mumbling about something nobody’s interested in except for the mumbler himself. It is not an exaggeration: it really lasts more than an hour, has close to 20 guests (depends on how you count) and even though Slant Face Killah is produced by a dozen of people the beats all sound the same. If it already sounds awful even for the diehard Conway fans, grip for the worst part of it. It ain’t even worth the trouble to skip all the tiring guest verses for the Conway verses because they are not good anyway. A total failure.

Alex Cunningham — Rivaled (Storm Cellar)

Remember October 2020? The time of still-subdued traffic, no shows and a looming election? Rivaled is an artifact of that moment. Nowadays, Alex Cunningham is an intensely active improviser, based in St. Louis but active all around the middle of the USA. Back then he was stuck at home and moved to make some noise. “Faith” and “Void” offer two paths to obliteration. The former is pretty plugged in, with electronic effects and appropriated radio noise turning Cunningham’s violin into a full-on electrical storm. The latter is unreliant upon electricity, but maybe even more dogged and savage. Originally released as an edition of 20 cassette, Rivaled is now a CD with a bonus remix that mashes both tracks together, both vertically and temporally, like a piggybacked highlights reel. Of noise relaxes you, you’ll want this close at hand when the next election rolls around.

Dun-Dun Band — Pita Parka Pt. 1: Xam Egdub (Ansible Editions)

Dun-Dun Band is an all-star cast of characters comprising some of Toronto’s most creative musicians and led by musical polymath Craig Dunsmuir. Dunsmuir is a shape shifter, trading guises and styles for decades: a guitar loop conjuror known as Guitarkestra, a purveyor of mutant disco vibes alongside Sandro Perri in Glissandro 70, a welder of minimalism, dub, and avant-garde weirdness as Kanada 70. His Dun-Dun Band collects members of Eucalyptus and Badge Époque Ensemble along with stalwarts Colin Fisher, Karen Ng, Josh Cole and Ted Crosby. Pita Parka is the group’s debut on vinyl and features three extended cosmic jazz jams that fuse multi-horn interplay to African-inspired polyrhythm. The music slyly winks at 1970s fusion but is more akin to that of modern ensembles such as Natural Information Society. The extended nature of the pieces allows the reedists to stretch their lungs and roam around, and for the rest of the ensemble to engage in creative interplay. Pita Parka is a stellar offering from some of Toronto’s finest players and one of the city’s most inquisitive and inventive minds.

Roby Glod / Christian Ramond / Klaus Kugel—No ToXic (Nemu)

The three participants in this session are all veterans of middle European jazz that’s free in spirit, if not always in form. Bassist Christian Ramond and Klaus Kugel are from Germany, and soprano/alto saxophonist Roby Glod is from Luxembourg; their collective cv includes work with Kenny Wheeler, Ken Vandermark and Michael Formanek. Online evidence suggests that they’ve played together as a trio since 2015, which explains their easy rapport and nuanced interaction, but this is their first CD. Freedom for these folks means having the latitude to linger over a tune or to settle into nuanced timbral exchanges, but if you carded them, they’d all have jazz driver’s licenses. This music swings, often at speed, which is a very important aspect of their shared aesthetic; the excitement often comes from hearing Glod invent intricate, evolving lines that are lifted off by fast walking bass lines and kept in the air with light but insistent cymbal play. While the album is named No ToXic, the sheer pleasure of hearing these guys lock in could truthfully be labeled counter-toxic.

Göden — Veil of the Fallen (Svart)

Longtime listeners of death doom will recognize the name Stephen Flam, guitarist and co-founder of storied band Winter whose Into Darkness (1990) concretized the subgenre in the US; the record was great, and still is. For his recent work with Göden, Flam has dubbed himself “Spacewinds,” and his bandmates follow suit, with stage names that are equal parts risible and ridiculously gravid: vocalist Vas Kallas performs as “Nyxta (Goddess of Night)” (those parens seem to be her idea…) and keyboardist Tony Pinnisi appears as “The Prophet of Göden.” Okay. This reviewer’s inexhaustible appetite for Winter’s slim output disposes him to think kindly of Flam, and there’s nothing especially terrible about Veil of the Fallen — but that’s only because there’s nothing all that special about the record. The sound of the title track is appealingly austere, and the NyQuil-chugging riffs of “Death Magus” are sort of fun. But any listeners hoping for flashes of the inimitable, awesome awfulness of Winter would be well advised to recall the meaning of inimitable. Not even Flam, it seems, can provide a convincing replica of those energies and textures.

Mick Harvey — Five Ways to Say Goodbye (Mute)

youtube

Former Birthday Party and Bad Seeds member Mick Harvey looks back at his life on his autumnal new album “Five Ways to Say Goodbye.” Although he contributes only four original songs, his skill as an arranger and interpreter reaches its zenith. Harvey imbues his own and others’ songs with intense emotion that never tips into melodrama or histrionics. Augmenting his acoustic guitar with evocative string arrangements which provide counterpoint and color to his lyrics “When We Were Young and Beautiful” may be the finest song he has written; poetic in structure, elegiac in feeling, Harvey faces his past with dispassionate empathy for lost friends and acceptance of where he is now. His version of David McComb’s “Setting You Free” locates a Faustian menace in the song, using the strings to carry the dynamic thrust and emphasize the turbulent ambivalence of the original. “Like A Hurricane” becomes an intimate, piano ballad. By changing the tense from present to past and stripping the song of its rock roots, Harvey creates an emotional impact missing from Neil Young’s original. On “Demolition” Harvey replaces Ed Kuepper’s funereal drums with an off-kilter drum machine that clatters like an old projector to evokes the disconnections inherent in the lyrics. Harvey’s treatment of songs from The Saints, Lee Hazelwood, Lo Carmen and Marlene Dietrich are beautifully rendered. A wonderful summation of Harvey’s often underrated talent and an album that deserves a wider audience.

I Like To Sleep — Bedmonster’s Groove (All Good Clean Records)

This combo from Trondheim, Norway started out bridging the sound worlds of Gary Burton and Sleep. That’s a canny move if you’re looking for relatively untrodden ground, and as it turns out, a successful one. On Bedmonster’s Groove, which is album number four, the trio has dialed back the heaviness; you won’t hear a power chord until the beginning of side two. Instead, they have taken a turn towards experimentation. The microscopic applications of filters and effects give confer a variable glitter to Amund Storløkken Åse’s vibraphone, squeezable padding to Nicolas Leirtrø’s six-string bass, and some texturable variety to Øyvind Leite’s drums, which are all shown to good effect by some lean grooves and uncluttered melodies. Åse has also added some instrumentation; synths flicker and swirl in the empty spaces, and a mellotron heads a deliberate charge towards prog territory.

Kriegshög—Love & Revenge (La Vida Es un Mus)

Throughout the long existence of Kriegshög, it’s been customary to identify the band as a d-beat act. Love & Revenge is Kriegshög’s first release since 2019 and only its second LP in their (at least) 16 years of playing in and around Tokyo. Prolific, they ain’t, but the music is always worth waiting for. On this new record, the band rolls back the pace a bit and amps up the crusty, metal textures. Less squall and rampant chaos, more muscle and riffs that roll up in well-worn biker leathers — but all those qualifiers are relative. There’s still a raw edge to the production (if that’s the term we want…); the bass is laced with so much fat crackle that you’ll want to fry it and eat it. Sort of fun that one of the most volatile tunes on Love & Revenge is titled “Serenity.” Make of that what you will, but don’t spend too much time thinking about it. You’ll miss the next couple songs.

Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard and Quatuor Bozzini — Colliding Bubbles: Surface Tension and Release (Important)

Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard is a composer based in Copenhagen. On his latest EP he joins forces with the premiere Canadian string quartet for new music, Quatuor Bozzini, to create a piece that deals with the perception of bubbles replicating the human experience. In addition to the harmonics played by the strings, the players are required to play harmonicas at the same time. At first blush, this might sound like a gimmick, but the conception of the piece as instability and friction emerging from continuous sound, like bubbles colliding in space and, concurrently, the often tense unpredictability of the human experience, makes these choices instead seem organic and well-considered. As the piece unfolds, the register of the pitch material makes a slow decline from the stratosphere to the ground floor with a simultaneous long decrescendo. The quartet are masterful musicians, unfazed by the challenge of playing long bowings and long-breathed harmonica chords simultaneously. The resulting sound world is shimmering, liquescent, and, surprising in its occasional metaphoric bubbles popping.

The Ophelias — Ribbon EP (self-released)

Ribbon is stormy, scathing and often quite beautiful. “Soft and Tame,” the EP’s emotional center, is all three. It begins wistfully: easy acoustic guitar strums and Andrea Gutmann Fuentes’ layered violin, nostalgic and close to sweet. Vocalist Spencer Peppet also starts slow, talking us through the aimless sensory motions of missing someone – “the sun on my cheek/as I walk around/I pick up a pear/I put it down/the radio plays a song we loved.” It doesn’t take long, however, for the skies to darken and the scene to become bleaker. By the line “the hollow sound/my jugular makes as it rolls around,” Mic Adams’s foreboding drums and a percussive creep of electric guitar have stalked in. And by the time Peppet has shown us “an overturned bus on the highway,” heard a“tornado warning” and told her subject to “stay the fuck away” for the second time, the band has built to a blown-out, climactic frenzy, the violin finding operatic heights over mammoth cymbal crashes.

In her review of The Ophelias’ last album, Crocus, Jennifer Kelly described Peppet as sounding “like she’s tilting her chin up and squaring her shoulders.” Likewise on Ribbon, where the band seems resigned to but also quite prepared for a fight. If “Soft and Tame” is aimed to knock “love in southern Ohio” down for good, then “Rind,” the final song, may tell us why they’re in the ring at all. At a brief break in the dynamic, flowering arrangement — it could be a particularly bucolic Magnetic Fields instrumental, especially in Gutmann Fuentes’ spry riffs — Peppet bursts out, “There you go!/On tour with my hometown friends/fucking score/they must have all forgotten!/Look back at what I tolerated.” There’s more to the story, but Peppet pulls back from the fray, settling things ominously: “to name it/makes your life/a little complicated.” Whatever “it” is, The Ophelias seem to have landed their punch. I don’t think I’ve heard more cutting, triumphant “Oohs” than those that end the song and Ribbon’s multifaceted fury with it.

Paperniks — Oxygen Tank Flipper 7-inch (Market Square)

Jason Henn is a master of catchy psychedelic punk. Honey Radar, his highest profile outfit, has unfurled a constant stream of hook-laden gems for well over a decade. Paperniks is his newest guise, a solo home recording project that amplifies the Guided by Voices meets Syd Barrett vibe of Honey Radar and doses it with nuggets of guitar noise. This tiny slab of wax is the sophomore Paperniks outing, following a single-sided lathe cut that strayed toward the clamorous edge of the octopus’s garden. On display are a pair of tunes that bear a striking resemblance to Honey Radar. “Oxygen Tank Flipper” is a groovy dose of psych replete with a catchy riff and a roller coaster bassline. Handclaps up the catchiness factor, as does Henn’s honey sweet sigh. “Essex Poem Dial” is a punky, garage-inspired tune. Henn’s reverb-soaked vocal hides inside the propulsive guitar chime. A noise interlude leads to a mellow vignette that slowly fades away. Paperniks showcases Henn’s boisterous side, and the music is certainly engaging, so hopefully there are more songs on the way soon.

Ribbon Stage — Hit with the Most (Perennial/K)

Ribbon Stages hits the giddy sweet spot between punk and pop, their raucous guitar-drums-bass racket pounding on sweet, wistful little songs. The mixture varies with some cuts veering into the snaggle-toothed dream pop of, say, the Jeanines, while others rage harder and more dissonantly. “Stone Heart Blue,” the single, pulls the drums way up in the mix and lets distorted guitars and murmured vocals do battle attention behind them. The result is an uncanny balance of urgency, angst and solace, which is exactly what you want from pop-leaning punk. ��Hearst” pushes slashing tangling guitar racket up to the foreground, letting a billowing squall spill over crisp drums and shout-sung vocals, while “Sulfate” lets a sighing romantic croon loose over boiling lavas of rock mayhem. Nice.

Rio Da Yung OG — Rio Circa 2020 (Boyz Ent)

youtube

This is exactly what the title says: a compilation of Rio songs stashed on the label’s HDD, no more, no less. No filler but no hits either. The tape has a “Circa 2020” feel to it, reminding us of when Rio did what he wanted with no shades of doom hanging over the songs. It’s unlike the music he wrote after the trial when he knew he had to do some time. There’s a little bit of everything in here: three songs with RMC Mike, two tracks featuring Louie Ray, a song on a Sav beat, a song on an Enrgy beat and a song on a Primo beat. Yet it’s hardly enough to last us until Rio is free.

Spirits Rejoice—S-T (Fredriksberg)

Spirits Rejoice! by Spirits Rejoice

A remastered reissue of a 1978 recording, Spirits Rejoice captures boundary-crossing South African jazz scene, which touches on fusion, rock, funk, soul, disco Latin and African sounds. The ensemble includes some of that time and place’s pre-eminent jazz musicians, Sipho Gumede of the fluid, loping bass lines, breezy, insouciant reeds-man Robbie Jansen, South African pioneering percussionist Gilbert Matthews, keyboardist Mervyn Africa and a very young Paul Peterson on electric guitar. The music is ebullient and clearly tilted towards pop accessibility, and the gleaming sheen of 1970s often dilutes its heat and fury. This is especially true on “Happy and in Love” which could double as a lost Earth Wind and Fire cut. Elsewhere, though, as in “Woza Uzo Kudanisa Nathi,” fervid polyrhythms, tight squalls of sax and an exhilarating call and response light up the groove, fusing African chants with a swaggering samba rhythm. And “Papa’s Funk,” is just what it sounds like—a slithery, stuttery, visceral bass-led swagger that bubbles and smolders and twitches in a universal funk.

Various Artists — GmBH: An Anthology of Music for Fashion Shows 2016 – 2023, Volume 1 (Studio LABOUR)

GmbH: An Anthology of Music for Fashion Shows 2016-2023 Vol. 1 by Various Artists

LABOUR is a multimedia project of Iranian musician Farahnaz Hatam and American percussionist/composer Colin Hacklander. Based in Berlin, the duo has collaborated widely and eclectically to produce soundtracks for sustainable, underground fashion house GmBH. This compilation collates 12 examples and showcases a variety of work from an international roster of artists including Iraqi-British oud player Khyam Allami, Turkish born DJ Nene H, Kuwaiti musician Fatimi Al Qadiri, American performance artist MJ Harper and Indonesian noise duo Gabber Modus Operandi. The thread that runs through all this is cross pollinations between genre, geography, and chronology. Allami’s oud plays against LABOUR’s electronic washes and synthetic percussion with each element emphasizing and interrogating differences in modality and structure. On “White Noise” LABOUR contrast a 16th century harpsichord piece with static and effects dissolving into a robotic club beat which ends up evoking a cyborg Hooked on Classics. Their collaboration with Harper on the spoken word “ablution” is a reflection on love, religion, and abnegation with elements of gospel, eastern and creeping doom ambience. The Anthology has much of interest but is essential for Belgian composer Billy Bultheel’s “YLEM” featuring German countertenor Steve Katona who soars incandescent from a backdrop of industrial grind. The contrast between earthly weight of the music and radiant purity of the voice is breathtaking.

Vertonen — taif’ shel (Oxidation)

taif' shel by Vertonen

Give the Oxidation label credit for radical truthfulness. One of the bummers of our time is the frequency with which folks on BandCamp and elsewhere will call a short-run, blue or green-faced disc a CD when they are selling you a CD-R. Oxidation, on the other hand, is named after the process that will eventually render its products unplayable. On to the sounds. Vertonen is Blake Edwards, who has been working around the edges of sound for over 30 years. On taif’ shel, he displays absolute mastery over the combination of collected, electronically generated and carefully edited sounds. His skill rests on three qualities; knowing where to place sounds, knowing how long to let them carry on and having some pretty good ideas about which ones to use in the first place. He can make a drone of infinite (but never unnecessary) complexity, or punctuate flipping film-ends with a precisely situated, never repeated sequence of chops and splices, to name just two examples found on this impermanent but thoroughly rewarding disc.

Villagers — That Golden Time (Domino)

youtube

That Golden Time is Villagers’ sixth album. The Conor O’Brien led project presents its most eclectic outing to date. A number of the songs are afforded pop treatment, consisting of memorable tunes and gentle, polished arrangements. The double-tracked vocals on “First Responder” is a case in point, about a relationship fragmenting while the singing coalesces, an interesting tension. “No Drama,” initially pared down to piano and O’Brien’s laconic vocals, eventually adds a coterie of Irish traditional instruments. “Keepsake” veers closer to mid-tempo electronica, with overlaid synth repetitions and treated vocals. The title track employs sustained violin lines, played by Peter Broderick, and an intricate form with supple harmonic shifts. “Brother Hen,” on the other hand, recalls the folk influences present from Villagers’ beginning. The diversity is diverting, even though That Golden Time feels like a collection of singles instead of an album statement.

Blog Post #6

If social media is a big source of news for many, then why don’t we know much information about those events such as those in Mexico?

When listening to Miriam Hernandez, the guest speaker, talk about her research about the discrimination towards women in Mexico, it made me start to think, why haven’t we heard of this before? I think we haven’t heard much of the happenings because people on social media choose what kinds of information gets spread and what doesn’t. It also starts with the people of that country so if they don’t spread the information, it doesn’t get out to other countries. Miriam mentioned that the platform that is most widely used in Mexico is Twitter/X so I think that another reason why we haven’t heard of the incidents before is because, we, as Americans, mostly use Instagram, Tik Tok, and Facebook so it would have to get from X to instagram.

How can we make efforts to learn more about violence in other countries?

America can tend to be a very self centered country. We like to think about ourselves, our jobs, and the happenings within our country and if it isn’t happening within those, it doesn’t matter much. I think in order to get out of this mindset, when we see an act of violence on the news or via social media, we can look into it and see how we can help even if the violence may seem small compared to something else happening in the world.

How might colorblind racism be problematic on social media?

Colorblind racism is the idea that one doesn’t see different races and they believe that everyone is equal. In terms of social media, this is an issue because when discrimination towards a certain group is a main topic on the news, a person who is colorblind to race may discredit what that specific group is going through. This can be seen in 2020 when the Black Lives Matter movement was going on and many people were supporting Blacks but also many people were supporting the idea of “All Lives Matter”. This was an issue because even when it was blatant that Black people were going through discrimination, there was a group of people that were ignoring the issues and thinking that they were the ones receiving the discrimination.

What do race and technology have in common? One of the biggest similarities that race and technology has in common, is that they are both a social construct. They are both guided by society and the only way to change the views of them is through the majority in society. In the Race After Technology article by R. Benjamin, it mentions that race is a technology where it is designed to separate the different races. Technology and social media are one of the biggest contributors to the idea of race and the separation and discrimination towards many different races.

The Do’s and Don’ts Before You Pitch a ‘Write for Us Technology’ Blog

There is a world where technology is like a game of catch as you keep up with the changes; a world where a guest can find his/her voice and through this open up to the world of recognition, authority and open new networking grounds. However, getting a guest post on a good leading blog with a phrase such as Apply to write on our Technology blog does not come as simply as creating a generic email. Preparation, courtesy of the editorial directives and the realization of what the both of you, and the publication stand to benefit out of the arrangement, are involved.

This paper will describe the major do-it and don-it that any writer ought to understand prior to sending a pitch to a technical blog. These tips will guide writers to have greater chances of publication whether one is an expert or a beginner in the field of writing.

Why Pitches Matter in the Tech Blog Space

Every month, tech blogs can receive dozens (sometimes even hundreds) of offers to publish the guest posts. Most are declined not to do with the badness of the ideas but rather because the pitch does not acknowledge the tone, target audience or standards of the blog.

Technology websites are different because they are at times concerned with correctness, real-world relevance and style. They are also the bearers of the task of teaching the readers the complicated issues such as cybersecurity, software development, data tendencies or ethical innovation. Editors of course are selective.

DO: Research the Blog Thoroughly

Before pitching, spend time reading the blog. Understand:

What kind of content they publish (tutorials, news, opinion pieces?)

Who their audience is (developers, tech marketers, product managers?)

The writing style (casual or technical? long-form or short-form?)

Example: Should the blog predominantly write about cloud infrastructure targeted at enterprise users, then the pitch of a post titled, Top Instagram Filters though tech related, would not make any sense.

Pro Tip: See the newest 57 articles. That will give you an idea of what they are working and what the editor probably needs more of.

DON’T: Send a Generic Email to Multiple Blogs

Editors are able to identify the mass email a mile away. It could start, “Dear Sir/Madam,” contain no allusion to what was written in the blog in the past, and contain general lines such as, “I would like to write on technology trends.”

This is an immediate indication of spam or laziness- your email will most probably be deleted.

Solution: Make your pitch specific. Refer to something that you have recently read on their blog and how your topic is related to their audience and that you have made some effort in researching.

DO: Pitch Clear, Specific Topics

Vague ideas like “emerging tech” or “ifuture of gadgets” are too broad. Editors want focus.

Better Pitch: “How Blockchain is Being Used to Secure Supply Chains in 2025”

Specific topics signal that you’ve thought the idea through—and have something new or useful to add.

What to include in your pitch:

A working title

A 2–3 line summary of your angle

Why it’s relevant for their audience now

DON’T: Overpromise or Misrepresent Your Expertise

It’s okay to be a beginner or emerging writer. What’s not okay is claiming expertise you don’t have. For instance, don’t pitch an article on advanced machine learning if your only exposure is reading a few blogs.

Misrepresentation not only hurts your credibility—it also leads to a poor reader experience if the content lacks depth.

Instead, write from what you genuinely know: perhaps your experience setting up a secure home network or transitioning to a new productivity app in your tech role. Real-life relevance goes a long way.

DO: Follow Submission Guidelines to the Letter

Most technology blogs that accept guest posts have a dedicated “Write for Us” or “Contributor Guidelines” page. Read it carefully.

You’ll often find:

Preferred word count

Tone of voice

Formatting rules (e.g., using subheadings, no promotional links)

Required author bio structure

Following these rules shows respect—and saves the editor time.

Case Example: A blog may reject an otherwise good post simply because it includes promotional backlinks, which were explicitly disallowed.

DON’T: Expect Immediate Approval or Feedback

Other authors are discouraged when they fail to get feedback within a couple of days. Others even go to the point of leaving repeated follow-ups or DMs to the editors of the blog on social media.

This may sound unprofessional.

Instead: Wait patiently. Most blogs take 1–2 weeks to review. If you haven’t heard back after 14 days, send a polite follow-up with your original pitch attached.

Final Thoughts: Respect Is the Real Key

The tech blogosphere is competitive as well as friendly- just that it should be treated with utmost respect and professionalism. You must prove that you have read the blog, you know the audience, and you have something to offer. Your pitch will be competitive enough.

Do you remember: writing technology blogs is not only a way to attract attention to your name. It is also doing meaningful work in engaging in conversations that build the future.

That is why take the time to do it right, and you will be one step close to being a reliable source within the tech community.

🔬 Pioneering Medical Technology in Urology

Prof. Dr. Haluk Kulaksizoglu is not only a master surgeon but also a recognized leader in integrating advanced technology into modern urological care. His practice is among the few in the region to offer robot-assisted surgeries, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for prostate cancer, shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction, and MRI-fusion biopsy systems for precision diagnostics.

Key Technologies Used:

Da Vinci Surgical System for minimally invasive procedures

MRI-TRUS Fusion Prostate Biopsy, ensuring early and accurate cancer detection

Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) for non-invasive erectile dysfunction treatment

UroLift and REZUM Systems for BPH therapy with minimal side effects

Micro-TESE (microsurgical testicular sperm extraction) for male infertility

These innovations allow for shorter recovery times, greater surgical precision, and better long-term outcomes, transforming how patients experience urology.

🌍 International Recognition & Global Collaborations

Dr. Haluk Kulaksizoglu has gained global recognition not just as a practicing urologist, but also as a thought leader and educator. His work has taken him beyond Turkey and the UAE to present at international medical congresses, participate in global think tanks, and collaborate with leading institutions.

Global Involvement:

Speaker at the European Association of Urology (EAU) and American Urological Association (AUA)

Contributor to global urological surgery guidelines

Visiting professor and guest surgeon in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East

Through these collaborations, he not only treats patients but shapes the future of urology worldwide.

👥 Real Lives, Real Transformations: Patient Success Stories

Behind every consultation and surgery is a human story—one of hope, transformation, and renewed quality of life. Dr. Haluk’s practice is full of such examples, highlighting his commitment to patient-centered care.

✨ Case 1: Restoring Fertility and Hope

A couple in their early 30s had been trying to conceive for over 2 years. After extensive evaluations, Dr. Haluk diagnosed non-obstructive azoospermia in the male partner. Through a micro-TESE procedure, viable sperm was successfully retrieved, followed by IVF. Today, they’re the proud parents of a healthy baby girl.

✨ Case 2: Freedom from Prostate Symptoms

A 64-year-old businessman from London suffered from BPH that was severely affecting his sleep and travel lifestyle. Dr. Haluk recommended a REZUM therapy, a steam-based minimally invasive technique. The procedure took less than an hour, and within a few weeks, the patient’s symptoms had significantly reduced — with no need for lifelong medications.

✨ Case 3: Life After Prostate Cancer

A 58-year-old patient was diagnosed early with prostate cancer thanks to Dr. Haluk’s MRI-fusion biopsy approach. Instead of traditional surgery, focal HIFU therapy was used, preserving urinary continence and sexual function. The patient returned to his professional life in just 10 days.

These stories reflect Dr. Haluk’s ability to tailor high-tech solutions to individual needs — always with compassion and precision.

With time, effort, and continuous learning, you can turn article writing into a reliable income source—even as a complete beginner.

Remember, the key is consistency and professionalism. Treat writing like a business, and clients will treat you like a professional.

Helena Hind and Jane Lee at MMFA:

Smartmatic’s defamation case against Newsmax, which accuses the right-wing cable channel of spreading conspiracy theories about the voting technology company for profit and consequently damaging its reputation, is slated to begin soon. After right-wing media competitor Fox News unexpectedly but accurately called Arizona for Joe Biden during the 2020 election, Newsmax seized an opportunity to attract conservative viewers by spreading conspiracy theories about the vote, including about Smartmatic. Smartmatic alleges Newsmax knew these conspiracy theories were untrue but continued to circulate them for the sake of profit. (Fox is embroiled in a lawsuit over its own conspiracy theories about Smartmatic and settled with another voting technology company, Dominion Voting Systems, last year.)

In the aftermath of the 2020 elections, various Newsmax hosts, guests, and contributors have spread election denialist lies about Smartmatic.

How to Lower Utility Bills with Smart Commercial Pool Heating Choices

Rising operational expenses are placing increasing pressure on commercial property managers and facility operators to rethink how they manage energy-intensive systems. One of the most overlooked yet significant contributors to high utility bills is inefficient pool heating. From hotels to wellness centers, aquatic clubs to resorts, the cost of maintaining ideal water temperatures can escalate quickly. The solution lies in adopting smarter, energy-conscious systems. Investing in advanced commercial pool heating technologies can substantially reduce energy consumption while maintaining optimal comfort levels for patrons.

The Real Cost of Inefficient Pool Heating

Commercial pools demand consistent heating to ensure user satisfaction, health compliance, and seasonal availability. However, traditional gas or electric resistance heaters often consume vast amounts of energy. These systems struggle with energy conversion efficiency, often wasting more power than they produce in heat. For large pools or high-usage facilities, this inefficiency translates into skyrocketing utility bills.

Beyond operational cost, outdated pool heating systems can also drive up maintenance expenses and downtime. Frequent repairs, energy loss, and inconsistent heating performance ultimately affect customer experience and business profitability.

Why Modern Commercial Pool Heating Systems Are the Smarter Choice

Today’s commercial pool heating solutions are engineered for high efficiency, reduced emissions, and long-term reliability. Upgrading to a modern heat pump system or hybrid heating solution can cut heating costs by up to 70%, depending on usage and climate. Unlike conventional models, these systems utilize ambient air or renewable energy sources to deliver heat, making them more sustainable and cost-effective.

Smart commercial pool heating systems also feature programmable controls and automation, allowing operators to set temperature schedules, monitor performance in real time, and prevent energy waste during low-occupancy periods.

Benefits of Smart Commercial Pool Heating Systems

1. Energy Efficiency at Scale Heat pumps and solar-assisted systems have a high coefficient of performance (COP), often delivering three to five units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. This efficiency drastically reduces energy usage, especially when compared to traditional electric or gas-powered heaters.

2. Long-Term Cost Reduction While the initial installation of an advanced commercial pool heating system may be higher, the reduction in monthly utility costs creates a strong return on investment. With proper sizing and operation, facilities often recoup installation expenses within just a few years.

3. Environmental Responsibility Sustainable heating systems align with environmental goals by reducing carbon emissions and dependency on non-renewable resources. Businesses that adopt eco-friendly heating solutions also gain a marketing edge, appealing to environmentally conscious clients and guests.

4. Consistent Water Temperature Smart heating systems offer precise temperature control, ensuring the water remains at a comfortable level throughout the day, regardless of weather fluctuations. This consistency enhances guest experience and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

5. Low Maintenance and Longevity Modern commercial pool heating systems are designed with fewer mechanical components, resulting in less wear and tear. With periodic maintenance, these systems provide years of reliable service, minimizing unexpected repairs and associated costs.

Choosing the Right Commercial Pool Heating System

Selecting the most effective heating solution depends on several operational and environmental variables. Some of the key factors to consider include:

Facility Size and Pool Volume: Larger pools naturally require more energy to maintain desired temperatures. Heating capacity must match the size and usage demands of the facility.

Geographic Location: Climate conditions impact heating requirements. Facilities in cooler regions may need systems with higher performance ratings to offset ambient temperature deficits.

Operating Hours and Seasonal Use: Pools open year-round or operating long hours will benefit more from high-efficiency systems with programmable scheduling features.

Energy Tariffs: Understanding electricity pricing patterns enables better planning and usage of energy-efficient modes, particularly for systems with time-based control settings.

Available Space and Infrastructure: Compact heating systems are ideal for locations with limited mechanical space. Retrofitting possibilities must also be evaluated when upgrading existing systems.

By aligning system capabilities with specific requirements, facility managers can make informed decisions that maximize energy savings and performance.

Hybrid Heating: A Strategic Blend for Commercial Pools

Hybrid systems that combine multiple heating technologies—such as solar thermal panels with heat pumps or backup gas units—offer even greater flexibility and efficiency. These configurations allow operators to prioritize renewable energy sources during sunny periods and automatically switch to secondary options when necessary. The result is seamless, uninterrupted heating performance with optimized energy usage.

Integrating these solutions into a facility’s broader energy management strategy ensures better resource allocation and strengthens the case for long-term sustainability.

Automation and Smart Control Integration

One of the defining features of today’s advanced commercial pool heating systems is smart control capability. Digital thermostats, Wi-Fi connectivity, and intelligent monitoring systems allow for:

Real-time performance tracking

Remote temperature adjustments

Automatic shutoff during low usage hours

Predictive maintenance alerts

This level of automation reduces human error, lowers operational overhead, and ensures that the pool heating system performs at peak efficiency every day.

Maintenance Best Practices for Longevity and Efficiency

To ensure continued energy savings and optimal system performance, regular maintenance is essential. This includes:

Cleaning air filters and evaporator coils in heat pump units to maintain airflow and heat exchange efficiency.

Checking refrigerant levels and system pressure to avoid operational strain.

Inspecting sensors and controls for accurate temperature readings and automated scheduling.

Flushing the heating system periodically to prevent scale buildup in water-exposed components.

Routine inspections not only extend the lifespan of the heating system but also prevent unexpected failures during peak usage times.

Financial Incentives and Rebates

Many local and federal programs support the adoption of energy-efficient technologies in commercial settings. Facility managers should explore available rebates, grants, or tax deductions related to eco-friendly upgrades. Taking advantage of these incentives can significantly reduce upfront costs and improve project feasibility.

Additionally, utility providers may offer demand-side management programs that reward businesses for using high-efficiency equipment, especially during off-peak hours.

Making the Switch: A Strategic Investment in Sustainability

Upgrading to a smart commercial pool heating system is more than just an operational change—it's a strategic investment. The decision to switch reflects a commitment to energy efficiency, cost reduction, and environmental responsibility. For facilities seeking to enhance guest satisfaction while controlling expenses, modern heating solutions deliver measurable value.

When carefully selected and properly maintained, these systems provide unmatched reliability, efficient operation, and substantial savings over time. Their adaptability makes them suitable for new builds, renovations, and retrofits across a wide range of commercial applications.

Final Thoughts

Lowering utility bills in a commercial setting requires a combination of technology, strategy, and smart decision-making. With advanced commercial pool heating systems, businesses can meet heating demands without compromising on cost efficiency or environmental goals. By embracing energy-smart solutions that align with modern operational needs, facilities can position themselves for long-term success.

Adopting the right heating system isn’t just about managing today's expenses—it's about building a more sustainable and cost-effective future.
