If the picture of a sound engineer in your mind is of someone sat at a mixing desk with headphones on, listening to a terrible band playing in the next room, think again. Mixing down and polishing records for musicians is sound engineering, but it's far from the full extent of the job. Even most sound engineers will do more with their skills than just that.
For every live television or radio broadcast, a sound engineer will be required. For any recording of an event which will be broadcast later on, a sound engineer will be required during the production process. Even live theater and live sports sometimes need sound engineers to make sure everyone in the audience can hear what they're supposed to. As we live in a digital age, most sound engineering is done through a computer. A good understanding of the relevant computer software is therefore necessary. A degree is also desirable for most employers, but some freelance sound engineers get by just fine without one.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
