The Beach Boys released their hit Good Vibrations on October 10, 1966. The lyrics were written by Mike Love and the music was composed by Brian Wilson. The development of this song was groundbreaking. Segments of the song were recorded over 9 months in 4 different studios. The term pocket symphony was given to this style of recording.

Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of minerals in our bones and gives an indication of bone thickness or density. The measurement is evaluating mineral composition of the bone, but calcium and phosphorus are the 2 common minerals found in the bone.
