Evenifudontbelieve
''Evenifudontbelieve'' (stylised as ''EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE'') is the third album by Russel Whyte under his alias of Rustie. It was released on 5 November 2015 by Warp. Production Tracks on ''Evenifudontbelieve'' were initially planned for an EP release, but Whyte felt that "there was so much with a similar vibe that it turned into an album pretty naturally." Whyte found that some of these tracks were getting good reactions in live settings and decided to skip an EP and organise the music into album length. ''Fact'' described the album as containing "squealing prog guitar over huge rising synths, turbo trance riffs over even quicker trap drums" as well as happy hardcore. Release ''Evenifudontbelieve'' was released on 5 November 2015 by the label Warp. A video for "First Mythz" premièred during Whyte's Reddit Ask Me Anything thread on 24 November 2015. The vinyl issue of the album was made available on March 18. Reception At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out o ...

He signed to Warp Records in 2009. His 2011 debut album '' Glass Swords'' won him widespread acclaim. His music blends disparate genres, including hip hop, rave, and video game music. History Rustie's first instrument was guitar and he bought his first decks at age 15. He is associated with the subgenre of aquacrunk, a genre described as an experimental offshoot of hip hop that emphasises slowed down, low-slung beats, with lashings of electronic mutterings and morphing basslines. He believes his work conveys movement and fluidity, and that his creative process is an "immersive world" wrapped up in sound, rhythm, and color. Rustie's long-time interest in video games has influenced his approach to electronic composition. Rustie's first singles were released in 2007 and 2008. The producer signed wit ...

It features guest appearances from D Double E, Danny Brown, Gorgeous Children, and Redinho. The title of the album derives from "the language of the birds". Production Reflecting on ''Glass Swords'' in 2014, Whyte stated that he felt that he "“went kind of quite crazy on ''Glass Swords''" and that he was "taking the piss with kitsch sounds and over-the-top silliness." Whyte stated that he wanted his next album ''Green Language'' to be different and "more serious". In between the release of ''Glass Swords'' and ''Green Language'', Whyte scrapped an entire album's worth of material that he stated "didn't feel right as an album."

The Observer
''The Observer'' is a British newspaper published on Sundays. It is a sister paper to ''The Guardian'' and ''The Guardian Weekly'', whose parent company Guardian Media Group Limited acquired it in 1993. First published in 1791, it is the world's oldest Sunday newspaper. History Origins The first issue, published on 4 December 1791 by W.S. Bourne, was the world's first Sunday newspaper. Believing that the paper would be a means of wealth, Bourne instead soon found himself facing debts of nearly £1,600. Though early editions purported editorial independence, Bourne attempted to cut his losses and sell the title to the government. When this failed, Bourne's brother (a wealthy businessman) made an offer to the government, which also refused to buy the paper but agreed to subsidise it in return for influence over its editorial content. As a result, the paper soon took a strong line against radicals such as Thomas Paine, Francis Burdett and Joseph Priestley. 19th century In 180 ...

Weighted Mean
The weighted arithmetic mean is similar to an ordinary arithmetic mean (the most common type of average), except that instead of each of the data points contributing equally to the final average, some data points contribute more than others. The notion of weighted mean plays a role in descriptive statistics and also occurs in a more general form in several other areas of mathematics. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is the same as the arithmetic mean. While weighted means generally behave in a similar fashion to arithmetic means, they do have a few counterintuitive properties, as captured for instance in Simpson's paradox. Examples Basic example Given two school with 20 students, one with 30 test grades in each class as follows: :Morning class = :Afternoon class = The mean for the morning class is 80 and the mean of the afternoon class is 90. The unweighted mean of the two means is 85. However, this does not account for the difference in number of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Standard Score
In statistics, the standard score is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Raw scores above the mean have positive standard scores, while those below the mean have negative standard scores. It is calculated by subtracting the population mean from an individual raw score and then dividing the difference by the population standard deviation. This process of converting a raw score into a standard score is called standardizing or normalizing (however, "normalizing" can refer to many types of ratios; see normalization for more). Standard scores are most commonly called ''z''-scores; the two terms may be used interchangeably, as they are in this article. Other equivalent terms in use include z-values, normal scores, standardized variables and pull in high energy physics. Computing a z-score requires knowledge of the mean and standard dev ...
