Remington arms Co
Caliber .44 WCF
On sale at "Hallantique"
It is wise to specify that the revolver presented by Hallantique is a very rare Model 1890 (2000 specimens), in 44 Winchester CF, put on the market to compete with the Colt Frontier Six Shooter of Colt in the same caliber.
Such an amount of the Colt which Remington were intended for Texas Rangers, which was equipped with Winchester in 44/40.
In order to avoid confusion in the ammunition (Colt 45 and Winchester 44/40), the state had asked the two producers to agree on a single caliber.
The revolver being much easier to adapt than the rifle, it is Colt which thus left its Peacemakers in 44/40 WCF. They recognize other Peacemakers by marking with the acid on the barrel “Colt Frontier Six Shooter”. This name is not reproduced that on the weapons of this caliber. Remington had too much delay with its 1890 and thus did not have much success with this model.
The crafty one often venture to file the veil of the 1875 to make it pass for one 1890 much expensive, but the advised expert knows that over the 1890, the stub of veil is thicker than over the 1875; moreover, the n°s of series hardly exceed 2000.

I use Thunderbird with few accounts. One runs Dovecot, two are on GMail. Half of my desktop SSD is used by ~/.thunderbird/ folder nowadays.
Decided to take a look why.
Went to biggest folder (1.8GB in 57900 files) and then checked how much Thunderbird thinks it takes - 1801 messages, 48.9MB in total. Each message is stored over THIRTY times. Maildir format, GMail account.
Went to other folder. 823MB in 77345 files on disk. Thunderbird says 3107 messages, 30.7MB in total. Maildir format again, same GMail account.
Ok, let's check Dovecot one. Turns out that this one is mbox based. Biggest one was 2.1GB on disk, 526MB according to Thunderbird.
For each of them I went with "repair folder" button which is basically "drop whatever is on disk and fetch again from server".
So today instead of working I will go folder by folder to 'repair' them to regain my storage space. And then add to the calendar "go and repair all Thunderbird folders" monthly ;(

It’s a busy old time for Mark Gatiss, with the much anticipated An Adventure in Space and Time due in November and a role in HBO’s Dragon-a-thon Game of Thrones, Mark has now confirmed, to the surprise of no one, he’s confirmed that he’ll be back writing again for Series 8 of Doctor Who.
Speaking to Tardib (French language site) Mark Gatiss shared his take on the unique challenge of being a recurring writer and writing once again for a new Doctor:
“It is lovely to write for the series when you have never done it before, but to continue to do so and to make new things for a new Doctor, it is a kind of different challenge.”
While on the subject of a different challenge, he was also asked if he would be interested in taking over as head writer if and when Steven Moffat departs:
“Steven will never leave. I hope that he will never leave! I can’t say much about it, life is too complicated and strange to know when this sort of thing will happen.”
The keen amongst you will note that he hasn’t said ‘no’.
According to Variety, Mark is set to join the cast of HBO’s Game of Thrones, which is currently filming its fourth series, alongside Pedro Pascal, in an as yet unannounced role.

Safe routes to school
Compared to other countries the level of car accidents in the Czech Republic has been getting worse since 2001 and our backwardness in Europe thus deepens. The number of deaths within 30 days in 2015 increased eg. even to 734, it is by 46 persons more than in 2014. Pedestrians still remain the most vulnerable road users. E.g. in Prague the number of fatalities in 2015 compared to 2014 increased from 20 to 25 persons and all five of these „extra“ victims were pedestrians. The number of accidents with children – pedestrians – is also increasing while fatalities thankfully not, which is probably due to the fact that the kids cannot move themselves around the city with regard to bad road safety.
Moreover, due to the traffic pollution Prague is the second dustiest city (after Ostrava) in the country and 2/3 of its population live in places with above-limit noise. A major factor to this unfortunate situation is the huge increase in private car traffic.
Because of this dangerous situation for children and because we want them to move more arend the city on foot or bikes we began the Safe Routes to School projects. In 2009, these projects became an official program of Prague in cooperation with Pražské Matky. Any school or educational institute in Prague can take part in these projects.
In regions outside Prague, the Parnterství Foundation implements the Safe Routes to School projects within their program On Green Light.
The aim of the project is therefore to increase safety for children on their daily routes to school and encourage them to walk to school or bicycle or use public transport. The projects also trie to improve children’s awareness of traffic rules and better inform them about sustainable methods of transport. The program Safety Routes to Schools was inspired by examples from e.g. Great Britain, Bronx in New York and other countries and cities. It draws on the experience we have collected in about forty Prague schools where we managed to improve the traffic infrastructure in thein neighbourhoods in favor of children pedestrians or cyclists.
Project Life Cycle
The first step is to organize a seminar for parents, children, teachers, representatives of public administration (local government and Transport Department of the relevant district and the Municipal Authority of Prague) and the Police, where the participants obtain basic information about the project, expected effects and an explanation of the principles of traffic calming. Each pupil obtains a map with school surroundings and with the help of their parents they mark the routes which they take to school and the places where they do not feel safe. At the same time the pupils fill in a questionnaire, explaining why the places are dangerous and what could be done to make them more safe. The pupils also describe the method how they get to school and how they would like to get to school. Questions may also be targeted to parents, whose opinion on transport of children can help complete the picture of the whole situation regarding transport habits and preferences in the given locality.
Children together combine their maps into class maps and then create a single school map containing the total of all routes to the school and the list of dangerous places, including their description. This output serves as a basis for a planner to perform a traffic study proposing solutions for dangerous or problem sections. The study is then presented to the Municipal Authority of the City of Prague and the relevant district as the basis for proposed adjustments to traffic design. In enforcement of these proposals the project coordinators work in cooperation with the school, Police, district and Department of Transport of the City of Prague. The cooperation between the children, teachers and parents on one side and the authorities on the other creates a significant educational effect. The children’s participation in the project represents an excellent education in transit issues and increases the sense of responsibility for public issues in general.
The schools engaged in the program are obligated to produce a “Mobility School Plan” – the school’s long-term strategy focused on safe and barrier-free routes and the support of environmentally friendly transport to school. This plan is created using the data acquired from the analysis of traffic safety in the area around the school and the questionnaire regarding the children’s transport preferences.
The funds provided by the City of Prague are used by the schools to perform transport studies and implement measures that support sustainable transport at the school (e.g. bicycle stands, showers, lockers, bicycles for cycling club, cycling trips, transport education etc.). Funds can also be used for remuneration of the senior teacher and school project consultant and minor administrative expenses.
A total of 38 schools or educational institutes have already mapped and planned the routes’ safety in cooperation with Pražské Matky and since 2007 also with Oživení association.
In 2009, the City of Prague assumed the Safe Routes to School as its own program in cooperation with both the associations.
We believe that by cooperation among the Prague Municipal Authority, the city districts, the Police of the Czech Republic, parents, children and teachers we will succeed in making the routes to schools safe in the most efficient manner and thus to protect lives and health not only of children but also of all the other pedestrians using the roads around schools. Moreover, children will be able to use safe streets more independently.
The SRS program has been already implemented by nearly 38 Prague schools and children’s facilities and dozens of measures have been taken as proposed within the program. You can find more information about projects in the individual schools, including photo-documentation, in our database of implemented projects.

Letter: ACA was fully debated in Congress
Regarding “Obamacare also passed with secrecy” (Your View, June 27):
I have to strongly disagree with the writer’s claim that the Democrats wrote the Affordable Care Act in secrecy. The ACA first took shape within the House of Representatives in July 2009. Obama did not sign the bill until March 23, 2010, after months of revisions and debates.
Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell introduced the Republican health care bill last week and wanted a vote — all with no debate or input from health care experts. The bill was written by 13 men behind closed doors until released on June 22.
Additionally, it would be beneficial to put Nancy Pelosi’s full quote into context: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy.” There were many misconceptions swirling around at the time about the ACA (i.e., death panels). She was implying that once the bill was passed, people would come to understand and appreciate its contents.
Considering more people favor the ACA than the Republican versions (according to recent polls), it would behoove Congress to slow down and work together on a bill that affects every American.

DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory,
Keywords: CO2 capture, ab initio thermodynamics, engineering solid sorbent
Summary:CO2 is one of the major combustion products which once released into the air can contribute to global climate change. Capture of CO2 is a critical component in producing valuable reuse products from fossil fuel-based processes. It is generally accepted that current commercial technologies for capturing CO2 are too energy intensive and thus cost prohibitive for implementation on coal based power plants. Hence, there is a critical need for development of new materials that can capture CO2 reversibly with acceptable energy and cost performance for these applications. Accordingly, solid sorbents have been reported in several previous studies to be promising candidates for CO2 sorbent applications through a reversible chemical transformation due to their high CO2 absorption capacities at moderate working temperatures. By combining thermodynamic database mining with first principles density functional theory and phonon lattice dynamics calculations, a theoretical screening methodology to identify the most promising CO2 sorbent candidates from the vast array of possible solid materials have been proposed and validated at the National Energy Technology Laboratory. The advantage of this method is that it identifies the thermodynamic properties of the CO2 capture reaction as a function of temperature and pressure without any experimental input beyond crystallographic structural information of the solid phases involved. The calculated thermodynamic properties of different classes of solid materials versus temperature and pressure changes were further used to evaluate the equilibrium properties for the CO2 adsorption/desorption cycles. Per the requirements imposed by the pre- and post- combustion technologies and based on our calculated thermodynamic properties for the CO2 capture reactions by the solids of interest, we are able to identify only those solid materials for which lower capture energy costs are expected at the desired pressure and temperature conditions. These CO2 sorbent candidates were further considered for experimental validations. However, at a given CO2 pressure, the turnover temperature (Tt) of an individual solid capture CO2 reaction is fixed and may be outside the operating temperature range (ΔTo) for a particularly capture technology. In order to shift such Tt for a solid into the range of ΔTo, its corresponding thermodynamic property must be changed by changing its molecular structure by mixing with other materials or doping with other elements. Our results demonstrate that by mixing or doping two or more materials to form a new material, it is possible to synthesize new CO2 sorbents which can fit the needs for industrial applications. Recent experimental and calculated results show that some solid sorbents can serve as bi-functional materials: CO2 sorbent and CO oxidation catalyst. Such dual functionality could be used for removing both CO and CO2 after water-gas-shift to obtain H2 with high purity.


Female K-pop group 2ne1’s Manila concert on Saturday, May 17 at the Mall of Asia Arena, is extra special for its Filipino fans because the award-winning group will be celebrating its fifth anniversary on that day.
One of the members, Sandara ‘Dara’ Park , who first became a popular star in the Philippines before conquering the K-pop world, tweeted this to her followers recently.
"We'll be in Manila that day for AON tour! I would love to celebrate this special day with Blackjacks (the groiup's Filipino fans)," Dara told a fan.
She also took to Twitter to invite other Filipino friends.
"Invite niyo mga friends ko para sakin!!! :) lahat sila invited~ yooohoo"
2ne1, which is also made up of Park Bom, CL and Minzy, debuted in May 17, 2009 with its chart-topping single "Fire." The group has since earned a wide fan base because of its unique music style and quirky fashion.
2NE1 kicked off its "All or Nothing" world tour in at Seoul’s SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium on March 1 and 2. Among the other cities the group visited were Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing.
The group recently promoted its album, “Crush,” which includes its hit songs “Come Back Home,” “Crush” and “If I Were You.”
YG Entertainment's newest male group Winner will be joining 2ne1 in the Manila concert. Winner, a five-member group which won the talent reality show “Who is Next: Win” in 2013, is made up of Kang Seung Yoon, Song Minho, Nam Taehyun, Kim Jinwoo and Lee Seunghoon.

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Drivers in one central Indiana county will have to start going before a judge if they are caught passing a stopped school bus.
The change in Delaware County comes as a tougher state law was adopted this year after three siblings were fatally struck in October in Fulton County while crossing a highway to board their stopped school bus.
Muncie City Court Judge Amanda Dunnuck says she wants to change behaviors rather than allowing ticketed drivers to simply pay a $75 fine. Dunnuck tells The Star Press that she’ll be able to review a person’s driving record and decide whether a larger fine or driver’s license suspension is warranted.
LaGrange County is increasing enforcement by randomly placing police officers on school buses to watch for violators.

Documents of fandom: Margaret Lockwood and Ewan McGregor
In The F ield o f Cultural Production , Bourdieu identifies the problems of researching past events which require an understanding of the codes of contemporary discourse, many of which have not survived in written form:
One of the major difficulties of the social history of philosophy, art or literature is that it has to reconstruct these spaces of original possibles which, because they were part of the self-evident givens of the situation, remained unremarked and are therefore unlikely to be mentioned in contemporary accounts, chronicles or memoirs. It is difficult to conceive of the vast amount of information which is linked to membership of a field and which all contemporaries immediately invest in their reading of works: information about institutions — e.g. academics, journals, magazines, galleries, publishers, etc. — and about the persons, their rela tionships, liaisons and quarrels, information about the ideas and problems which are ‘in the air’ and circulate orally in gossip and rumour.

NSA Playset: Hackers invited to become digital James Bonds
The NSA’s unprecedented eavesdropping capabilities have been reached through a combination of monstrous internet data interception centers and installation of specially designed gadget and bugs in the right places. But are they really that special?
After last year Germany’s Der Spiegel published a 48-page catalog of gadgets used by the NSA back in 2008, a group of hackers led by security researcher Dean Pierce decided to make an attempt to reconstruct these NSA spying gadgets using open-source hardware.
A group of electronic enthusiasts dubbed the project “NSA Playset”. What they try to do is not just construction of devices for 007’s arsenal, but rather to protect the public from constant eavesdropping.
Welcome to the home of the NSA Playset.
In the coming months and beyond, we will release a series of dead simple, easy to use tools to enable the next generation of security researchers. We, the security community have learned a lot in the past couple decades, yet the general public is still ill equipped to deal with real threats that face them every day, and ill informed as to what is possible.
Inspired by the NSA ANT catalog, we hope the NSA Playset will make cutting edge security tools more accessible, easier to understand, and harder to forget. Now you can play along with the NSA!
“To someone who is not an expert in the field, the capabilities in the catalog might seem far-fetched or ultra-high tech,” a participant of the NSA Playset project, Michael Ossmann, told Mashable. “What we want to show is that these capabilities are very much achievable and practical. And by pointing out how easy they are to achieve, we hope that we can raise awareness of security threats in our computer system.”
Very soon the hackers found out that the devil is not as black as he is painted and NSA tools are quite ordinary, though sophisticated, electronics and therefore could be reproduced.
“There's nothing really unique in what the NSA is doing, they just have the dollars to make more sophisticated equipment,” another NSA Playset project member, Josh Datko, also known as the founder of Cryptotronix, an open source hardware company, told Mashable.
“It's kind of surprisingly easy to recreate them,” he said.
The group is trying to make their own versions of bugs that should be physically implanted into a desired computer to intercept signal and send it by air to spy’s receiver or give him a possibility to directly connect to computer’s memory using mobile platforms.
In August, the NSA Playset enthusiasts are planning to showcase and discuss their creations with other security researchers at the Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas.
Any researchers interested in collaboration with the NSA Playset are welcomed.

Just like human feet, dogs' paws can suffer from prolonged exposure to the elements, especially in extreme temperatures in the winter and summer months. The pads on dogs' paws can easily crack or dry when exposed to outdoor chemicals or abrasions from salt and stones. But by getting your dog used to wearing dog shoes or boots, you can prevent paw injuries.
Select the Right Shoes for Your Dog
Dog shoes and boots come in a variety of styles from countless pet stores and online venders. Take a measurement of your dog’s paw, according to the shoe manufacturer recommendations. Depending on the outdoor conditions, select a shoe with or without traction. If you take your dog on walks through rough paths or in areas that tend to have glass or other debris, a shoe with traction will provide additional safety and support.
Putting on the Shoes
Wait until your dog is in a calm and submissive state. Ask your dog to sit or lie down and gently put the shoes on each paw. Fasten each strap, but make sure that it isn’t too tight. You want the shoe to stay in place, but not restrict the paw’s movement.
Practice Walking Indoors
Encourage your dog to walk around inside in order to get used to the shoes. He may seem to walk strangely for a few minutes when the shoes are first on. This is completely normal and your dog should adjust to the shoes quickly.
After a few minutes of walking indoors with the shoes on, praise your dog and remove the shoes. Properly praising your dog will positively reinforce the behavior of wearing the shoes. For example, as soon as the dog has the shoes on his paws and walks a few steps around the room normally, praise him verbally with a positive, joyful tone of voice. You can also give your dog a small, pea-sized treat each time you put on the shoes and he walks in the shoes normally. This will continue to reinforce the positive nature of wearing the shoes. Do this practice several times throughout the first few days after buying the shoes.
Practice Walking Outdoors
Once your dog has adjusted to wearing the shoes indoors, practice walking outside with the shoes on. Go for several short walks over the period of a few days, gradually adding time and distance, always remembering to praise your dog after you put on the shoes and take off the shoes.

Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen and the FOMC’s economic projections sparked doubt among market participants about when the data-dependent U.S. central bank will finally start “normalizing” the federal-funds rates and how the Fed sees the strength of the U.S. economy.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew
was more straight forward: “A strong dollar is good for the United States." (Please take notice, the trade weighted dollar
against the major currencies is still substantially below its historical highs of 2012 and 1985 while the relationship between the trade weighted dollar and growth has remained at “zero (!)” since the 1980s). Lew added we have reached a point where he could comfortably say we see ongoing growth … "the trajectory of growth is strong.”
In the meantime, it could be helpful to take notice full time jobs
are back to the level of August 2007 (120.8 million) and a “four-handle” unemployment number is fully in the cards before the end of the year. Meanwhile, wage growth
has remained practically stuck in neutral since the beginning of 2010. Please keep in mind the wage level is a lagging indicator and wages aren’t very helpful to predict inflation.
An interesting question for all long-term investors now becomes if the fed funds rate would remain at 0.00-0.25 percent for longer if that would help wages to grow at a faster pace than if fed funds would hike to 0.25-0.50 percent and thereafter continuous to rise slowly by small increments? (Editor's note: The federal funds rate is "the interest rate" at which depository institutions actively trade balances held at the Federal Reserve, called federal funds, with each other, usually overnight, on an uncollateralized basis.)
Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart said Friday: “I continue to believe that mid-year or a little later is appropriate timing for a rate hike. That would allow the June meeting to clearly be taken seriously as a meeting for the lift-off decision. I would add to that July ... And, of course, September ... I can’t be certain it is going to happen in those three months ... But I think it is realistic to assume that is the period in which we will be taking on this decision with a high likelihood of pulling the trigger.”
Besides that, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said Monday he still expects the U.S. to grow by 3.0 percent this year and a strong dollar is not surprising at this point while low inflation is for an important part caused by low oil prices, which he considers as a “one time” causation.
He also hopes the Fed to return to a Fed funds’ normalized era as we have known in to 1980s-90s-2000s, nevertheless keeping in mind the Fed will only act when data allow it, but that could happen sooner than many expect now.
At the same occasion and commenting on Greece, Mr. Bullard said a “Grexit” would be much more manageable today than it was a couple of years ago, but Greece would anyway is facing a bleak future.
Let’s hope Monday’s visit of Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin will brighten more or less their damaged relationship and Greece’s overall relationship with the euro area institutions, which includes the IMF will switch to “much” better and Greece finally accepts it also has to comply by the eurozone and European Union rules, which will be key for moving forward in a positive direction.
In context of this, on Sunday, the Financial Times
referred to a letter Tsipras sent to Merkel a week ago, on March 15, wherein we read: “Given that Greece has no access to money markets, and also in view of the ‘spikes’ in our debt repayment obligations during the spring and summer . . . it ought to be clear that the ECB’s special restrictions when combined with disbursement delays would make it impossible for any government to service its debt ... With this letter, I am urging you not to allow a small cash flow issue, and a certain ‘institutional inertia’, to not turn into a large problem for Greece and for Europe.”
In short, understandable language: “Greece is in big trouble!”
As always, we’ll have to wait and see what comes out of that meeting in Berlin while hoping it doesn’t result in a catalyst for a “Grexident,” which stands for “Grexit” by accident. (Editor's Note: The Greek withdrawal from the eurozone is the potential discontinuation of the euro as the national currency of Greece and the resulting Greek exit from the eurozone monetary union.)
Already on Sunday, Spain’s Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said the eurozone
will not make any cash payment to Greece until it has passed and implemented all the reforms Athens agreed on in February.
It’s not only Germany that wants agreements to be respected!
If the eurozone institutions, together with the IMF, can’t come (let’s say within the next 10 days) to some kind of a “kick the can” agreement with Greece, markets could go wild once again.

Hi, everyone! I recently read (and cooked) a recipe that used lots of chicken thighs to make chicken stock. I then discarded the chicken. Even the recipe creator said, I haven’t found a good use for this chicken. The issue is that when you boil the chicken, the meat loses all of its flavor (that’s basically how you know the stock is done). It’s a beautiful thing. But, I’m not one to promote food waste, and I wasted a LOT of chicken meat that was simply flavorless.
Then, I was re-reading Tamar Adler’s book on cooking, “An Everlasting Meal,” and I happened upon a little tidbit on how to save some of the meat used from stock. Now, I am not saying you need to save ALL of it. I had a lot. But when I made stock again, I did save some of the meat from it. I gave (1) some to my dog, and then (2) I made toast topped with it, as you see above.
The key is mixing it with mayonnaise, herbs, and something acidic — this helps to give back flavor that it lost. I personally think it worked in a synergistic fashion, and I craved this for approximately 3 meals/snacks, and then I ran out.
Here I mixed it with *good* mayonnaise. Homemade if you have it, but I never do. Then I added thinly cut cornichons and sprigs of dill. It is so simple, yet elegant, because it is truly a recipe for those who seek to limit their waste. I also would recommend using fresh bread. I buy a loaf of Acme Sweet Batard nearly every week, slice it, and then freeze it. I hope this helps you in any effort to create a working kitchen.
This is probably the most basic recipe — to the point that I feel sheepish even calling it a recipe. It’s more of a life hack that has fed me many times when I thought I could not go on (without some food). If I don’t have any fresh produce or I am in dire need groceries, I whip these up. I always try to keep tortillas and a can of refried beans on hand just for this refried bean quesadilla occasion. You never know when the time may strike, so you gotta be prepared. The modifications are endless, and you’ll likely have at least one of the optional items in your refrigerator or pantry to spice things up (or not; they’re good as-is).
I add everything from sautéed onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to hot sauce to shredded cheese on top, and sometimes when my goods are plentiful… all of them! I also think it is key to cook the quesadilla in butter, but this is not necessary. I’ve lately taken to serving an herb vinaigrette on the side as a dipping sauce. So. So. Good! Okay, here’s the base recipe:
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 6 – 8 in. tortilla (really whatever size you want)
- 1/2 can of refried beans (really as much as you want)
- Lay tortilla flat and spread a layer of refried beans on it.
- Lay the other tortilla on top of the refried beans (add any of the other optional toppings below), and pinch around the sides so as to enclose the beans.
- Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Once it is heated throughout, spread a layer of butter (or olive oil, or any other fat) to coat the skillet and then heat the butter (this prevents sticking).
- Once the butter is heated, add the quesadilla to the skillet, and cook until browned (about 2-3 minutes). Flip the quesadilla, and cook until the other side is browned (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add any optional toppings to the top of it all or find a dipping sauce that you like to serve on the side. And we’re done!
- Fresh herbs, chopped (cilantro is great)
- Shredded cheese
- Cooked rice
- Sautéed vegetables
- Sour Cream
- Greek yogurt with lemon
- Herb vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, any other fresh herbs)
- Hot sauce
- You do you — get crazy!


The Ultrasonic Music Sensing Instrument (Sonic Music Perceptron) can also be called a “virtual instrument”; it is a new way to create music. It is a retractable keyboard that is invisible in the air, and users can create sounds and music without having to physically touch any physical device. With invisible ultrasonic pulse waves, the user's body movements are converted into sound via the collector. Body movements can be large-scale movements, such as dancing or moving around the room; they can also be small-scale simple movements, such as small-scale movements of the head or hands. The speed, angle, and size of body movements can affect the tone and tone of the sound. Ultrasonic musical instruments have proven to be very powerful for people with disabilities and special education, because even severely disabled people can use the smallest body movements to create interesting, exciting and wonderful sounds.
Wide range of applications
The use of ultrasonic music movement instrument equipped with motion collector, central sound processor and the periphery of the configuration button mix and match, can be widely used and 0 years old to the elderly; and with different training techniques, application of a wide range of goals.
Early education stimulation: Whether it is a baby sleeping on the bed or a child crawling around on the ground, the supersound wave vocal therapeutic apparatus that can adjust the collection range can cooperate with different early education stimulation activities.
Rehabilitation training: Physiotherapists can use muscle activity training; functional therapists with functional activity training; speech therapists with language logic and pronunciation training.
Art Education: Those who are physically and mentally handicapped can control the performance of the music and express their inner world through the use of ultrasonic musical instruments, using limited physical movements.
Elderly treatment: Many elderly people with stroke, depression, or Parkinson's disease cannot participate because of limited physical activity and cognitive abilities. However, the use of ultrasonic music movement instrument motion collector, the elderly will be able to use limited body movements, and listen to the music, to play music interactive fun, enhance their life in their old age.
Early Childhood Education: Infant teachers use the Ultrasonic Music Instrument Kit to engage with children in creative story activities with changes in sound and music. The series effects of actions and sounds are used to inspire children's association with the world and create unlimited creativity.
Other applications: Since the ultrasonic musical instrument is an indefinite treatment instrument, the above-mentioned application range is only a part of the main application functions of the ultrasonic music therapy instrument. In fact, as long as any action-related training activities can use the powerful interaction between the movements of the ultrasonic musical instrument and the sound, it is compatible with the training activities to increase the user's motivation to move the body and enhance the effectiveness of the training. Do more with less.
Components: Complete Ultrasonic Musical Instrument (SOUNDBEAM 5)
Mainly consists of 4 ultrasonic pulse wave motion collectors, 1 central sound processor, 8 key boards and other peripheral accessories.
Auxiliary components: In addition to a complete set of ultrasonic music therapy instrument, another wireless button with different functions can be purchased to increase the compatibility of training activity functions.
Training: For units that purchase ultrasonic musical touchpads, B&R can arrange professional courses to train users to achieve the powerful functions of flexible control of ultrasonic music touchpads.

With hydroxychloroquine a bust and vaccines not coming until after the election, President Donald Trump is touting a new silver bullet against COVID-19: monoclonal antibodies. “They call them therapeutic, but to me it wasn’t therapeutic,” he said in a video he tweeted on Wednesday, five days after receiving the experimental treatment from the biotech company Regeneron. He claimed that he felt better immediately. “I call that a cure,” he said. “It’s a cure,” he said again, defying whoever might have told him to please just say “therapeutic” instead.
Preliminary and still-unpublished data from small studies suggest that monoclonal antibodies, which are lab-grown versions of antibodies the immune system naturally makes to fight pathogens, are indeed promising. Although Trump claims to be on the mend from COVID-19, it’s impossible to conclude from his case alone that the treatment is a “cure,” especially given that he got a “kitchen sink” of treatments. “No one ever got the drugs he got before, in the sequence he got them,” says Myron Cohen, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of North Carolina who is studying monoclonal antibodies in clinical trials against COVID-19.
The president is only one data point. Clinical trials need thousands of data points to determine whether a treatment works, and his endorsement could ironically make it harder to recruit patients for the trials. In hyping a treatment without the data proving that it works and without the groundwork for deploying it “immediately,” as Trump said yesterday he wants to do, he is breezing right past the scientific and logistical challenges still ahead. Trump might have gotten antibodies immediately, but most Americans won’t.

Searching the waters of the southern Indian Ocean is an enormous challenge.
The part of the Indian Ocean where possible wreckage from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has been spotted is called the roaring 40's -- 40 degrees south of the Equator known for strong westerly winds that whip up large swells. After 12 days in these fast moving waters any wreckage on the surface could have traveled 250 miles from where a plane crashed.
"There's a reason why we've only explored 7 percent of this planet beneath the waves, because it's very difficult," said oceanographer David Gallo, who helped track down the wreckage of Air France Flight 447.
That debris was recovered 2 1/2 miles below the surface of the Atlantic.
"There's no GPS, there's no radio communications, there's no power, we have to bring our own," Gallo said. "Lights don't go very far."
It took a French nuclear sub, three robotic subs, $50 million dollars and two years to find the Air France jet. That was after finding wreckage just two days after it crashed.
It could take weeks to get equipment the 1,500 miles to this search area and find submerged wreckage. It could take months more to recover it, working in a meteorological boundary line between pockets of equatorial and Antarctic air that often causes violent storms.
"You've got to deal with currents, you've got to deal with visibility, you've got to deal with things like wind and waves if the ocean acts up,"
The ocean floor where the possible debris was spotted is three miles deep, a half a mile deeper than the Air France flight.

Whistleblower removed from job for talking to the pressBMJ 2004; 328 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.328.7449.1153 (Published 13 May 2004) Cite this as: BMJ 2004;328:1153
A whistleblower who uncovered evidence that major drug companies sought to influence government officials has been removed from his job and placed on administrative leave.
Allen Jones, an investigator at the Pennsylvania Office of the Inspector General (OIG), was escorted out of his workplace on 28 April and told “not to appear on OIG property” after OIG officials accused him of talking to the press. Reports of Mr Jones's findings were widely reported in the New York Times, BMJ (7 February, p 306), and elsewhere.
His findings showed that the pharmaceutical company Janssen had paid honorariums to key state officials who held influence over the drugs prescribed in state-run prisons and mental hospitals.
Mr Jones filed a suit on 7 May against his supervisors charging that the OIG's policy of barring employees from talking to the media was “unconstitutional.” Mr Jones claims, in the complaint filed in the Middle District Court of Pennsylvania, that he is being harassed by his superiors and Pennsylvania governmental institutions in order to “coverup, discourage, and limit any investigations or oversight into the corrupt practices of large drug companies and corrupt public officials who have acted with them.”
Mr Jones had been earlier removed as lead investigator on the case after being told by a manager that “drug companies write cheques to politicians on both sides of the aisle.”
In July 2002 Mr Jones was appointed lead investigator when he uncovered evidence of payments into an off-the-books account. The account, earmarked for “educational grants” was funded in large part by Pfizer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals. Payments were made from the account to state employees who developed formulary guidelines recommending expensive new drugs over older, cheaper drugs with proved track records.
One of the recommended drugs was Janssen's antipsychotic medicine risperidone (Risperdal)—a drug that has recently been found to have potentially lethal side effects. The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to Janssen on 27 April saying that Janssen's “Dear Healthcare Provider” letter about risperidone was “false or misleading” because it failed to disclose or minimised risks of the drug relating to “serious adverse events including ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, and death.”
Don Bailey, Mr Jones's attorney, said the case is a critical test of the right to a free press. “If they shut the employee up and they have all the documents locked up in a drawer there is no free press,” he said.
Amy Wasserleben, spokeswoman for the OIG, said they would not comment on Mr Jones or the corruption allegations. When asked about the status of the corruption investigation she refused to answer. In response to a question about whether the state OIG could withhold information of public interest, she said, “The OIG is specifically exempt from right-to-know laws.”
The Pennsylvania formulary is based on the Texas Medication Algorithm Project that has been exported to about 12 states and was recently commended as a model programme by President Bush's New Freedom Commission.
However, Dr Peter J Weiden, who was a member of the project's expert consensus panel, charges that the guidelines are based on “opinions, not data” and that bias due to funding sources undermines the credibility of the guidelines since “most of the guideline's authors have received support from the pharmaceutical industry.”

Legend says coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia around a.d. 600-850 when a goatherd named Kaldi found that his animals became frisky after eating the red berries from the coffee tree. Kaldi ate the berries and rapidly spread the word about their stimulating properties. Local monks began cultivating the coffee tree to dry the fruit and crush it into a powder; the monks would then drink the reconstituted liquid to help stay awake during long periods of prayer. By the early 14th century, Arabs discovered the process of roasting and grinding the beans, and the rest, they say, is coffee history.
Today, coffee is the world’s most popular drink after water, with more than 1.5 billion cups consumed daily. Around 167 million Americans drink coffee each day, with more coffee drunk at breakfast than at any other time. Early studies gave coffee a bad name after it became associated with raising blood pressure and cholesterol levels, as well as increasing the risk for some cancers. Yet the latest research is revealing coffee’s health benefits. A recent American Chemical Society study identified coffee as the No. 1 source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet, and a 2006 clinical review of almost 300 studies suggests that moderate coffee drinking could help thwart a range of diseases, including type 2 diabetes, which affects an estimated 16 million Americans–more than half of them women.
Coffee and High Blood Pressure
One in three Americans is affected by high blood pressure, a recognized risk factor for heart disease and stroke. It’s well-known that the caffeine in coffee can cause a rise in blood pressure in both normal and hypertensive individuals. One study, published in the European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 1999, found that five cups of coffee a day over a period of about two months produced a modest increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Research has also shown that regular coffee drinkers may develop a tolerance to caffeine but that the elderly and people with hypertension might be more susceptible to caffeine’s effects.
Coffee and Cholesterol
More than 50 percent of adult Americans, especially women, have a total cholesterol level of 200 mg/dL or higher, which is above the recommended limit. Although several early studies indicated that coffee raises serum cholesterol concentrations, it was later found that the method of brewing has a direct effect on coffee’s cholesterol- and triglyceride-raising properties. Two substances (diterpenes) in coffee, cafestol and kahweol, are thought to be responsible.
These chemicals are released by hot water but are caught by paper filters. Those of us watching our cholesterol should avoid unfiltered coffees, such as Turkish, Scandinavian “boiled” and French press (cafetière) coffees, but we still can enjoy filtered, instant or percolated coffees.
Coffee and Parkinson’s Disease
Approximately 500,000 people in the United States suffer from Parkinson’s disease, with 50 percent more men affected than women. Symptoms usually appear after age 60, and the risk increases with age. Parkinson’s develops when the dopamine-producing cells in the brain start to die and the levels of dopamine fall. Dopamine is a key chemical messenger involved in controlling balance, walking and other purposeful movements.
In general, research points to a strong link between coffee drinking and a reduced risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, especially in men. It’s not clear how caffeine achieves this but it might protect the dopamine cells from toxins. A study found that men who drink at least one cup of coffee a day reduce their risk by half compared with those who drink no coffee. But the evidence isn’t as clear for women. Some research indicates that modest amounts of caffeine reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease, but only in postmenopausal women who have never taken postmenopausal estrogens. Conversely, the risk increases considerably in those taking estrogens and who drink six or more cups of coffee a day.
Coffee and Cancer
There’s little evidence to indicate that coffee drinking increases the risk of cancer, yet some evidence suggests it might protect against developing colorectal cancer. A large analysis published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1998 showed that people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day had a 24 percent lower risk of developing colorectal cancer, although not all studies have found this association. Additionally, a 2002 study of American men and women who regularly drink two or more cups of decaffeinated coffee daily showed they had a 48 percent lower risk of developing rectal cancer than those who never drank coffee.
More recently, a Swedish study published in the International Journal of Cancer in 2006 found that coffee drinking might increase the risk of stomach cancer by as much as 22 percent for each cup consumed, but this same study also reported that processed meat could be linked to an increased risk.
Coffee and Diabetes
More than 18 million Americans have diabetes, with more than 90 percent of those suffering from type 2–about 16 million people. Type 2 diabetes develops because the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, which controls blood sugar, or because the body can’t use its own insulin properly.
But research suggests that moderate coffee drinking, coupled with weight control and exercise, can protect against this condition. Two large U.S. studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2004 found that for those who drank at least six cups of coffee a day, women had a 29 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes and men had a 54 percent lower risk. This effect also was seen for decaffeinated coffee, though less noticeable, suggesting that other compounds aside from caffeine play a role in prevention. A more recent review of nine studies (published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2005) involving more than 193,000 men and women found that the risk was 28 percent lower in those who drank more modest amounts of between four and six cups a day. Scientists don’t fully understand how coffee protects against type 2 diabetes, but magnesium and a natural antioxidant called chlorogenic acid, which are both found in coffee, could play a role.
While some experts believe it’s too early to advise drinking coffee as an elixir of health, others feel there’s enough evidence to support the inclusion of coffee drinking as part of a preventive dietary plan.
Growing Coffee at Home
Growing coffee at home is relatively easy–the arabica variety is self-fertilizing, so there’s no need to worry about pollinating. Buy fresh green seeds, which germinate in less than three months (old seeds can take up to six months). Full details of how to grow your own plant can be found at www.CoffeeResearch.org.

In an interview today with Interfax, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he believes that the eastern Ukrainian rebellion could be solved if the Ukrainian government would follow through on its promised constitutional reforms.
Lavrov insisted that the reforms require the “participation of all regions” in the Ukraine, but that all the ethnic Russian easterners really wanted was a measure of autonomy.
Lavrov warned he believes Ukraine is “a long way away from that goal” of reform, however, that Russia’s goal remains a unified Ukraine with increased federalism.
Russia has been pushing federalism in Ukraine for some time, and while Ukrainian officials have expressed support for the idea in principle, they’ve so far refused to follow through with concrete moves toward reform, and Ukrainian ultra-nationalist figures have made a point of their opposition to any regional autonomy, at least in the east.

Prep 10 mins
Cook 4 hrs
- 3 large potatoes, sliced
- 4 medium carrots, sliced
- 0.5 (16 ounce) packagefrozen beans (or other veggie)
- 3 medium onions, diced
- 1 lb cooked hamburger
- salt and pepper
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
- 1 (10 ounce) can tomato juice
- Place vegetables in crock pot (layer in order).
- Season each layer with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add hamburger to vegetables in crock pot.
- Mix juice and soup and pour over hamburger.
- Cook covered on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours.
I added some beef base to the tomato juice to give more flavor.Was more of a stew than a casserole when done.Tasted good though,the broth was good for dipping bread.
We thought this was a great weeknight meal! Very simple and filling. Seemed more like a stew than a casserole, though. The only changes I made were using canned green beans instead of frozen and baby red potatoes with the skins on. Next time I think I'd add some oregano or Italian seasoning to give it a little more flavor. Overall, a great recipe! Thank you!

Population structure of four South African goby species
The objective of this programme is to determine whether there is population structure among estuarine gobies of the eastern and southern coast of South Africa. Four estuarine goby species that are endemic to southern Africa were selected: Caffrogobius gilchristi, C. nudiceps, Psammogobius knysnaenis and Glossogobius callidus. These benthic species are an important component of the fish biomass and the food web, and therefore play an important role in estuarine ecology.
The species differ in their dependence on the estuary for their early life stages, with P. knysnaenis being the least dependent and G. callidus the most dependent. Each of the species of these genera is treated as a single large population. Elucidated in a phylogenetic context, we expect the genetic structure of these goby populations to reveal a great deal about the history of subdivision and gene flow among the populations, and about the history of interactions between the two Caffrogobius species.

Among the fascinating things you can find by digging in (and keep in mind that some of these questions have fairly large margins of error):
- Mike Rounds leads Kristi Noem 43-39 among all Republican primary voters. But he’s up 60-14 among the 9 percent of South Dakota Republicans who voted for Obama. Among Romney-voting Republicans, it’s just 43-42 Rounds.
- There’s no big gender gap in a Noem-Rounds primary matchup — Rounds leads 41-36 among women, 45-42 among men — though more women are undecided.
- Conventional wisdom is Stephanie Herseth Sandlin has a problem with her base as a result of votes against liberal priorities like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This poll, at least, doesn’t show that. Among Democrats, Tim Johnson’s approval rating is 77-17, while Democrats approve of Herseth Sandlin 82-13. The two are basically identical among approval by people who voted for Obama in 2012 — 85-11 for Tim Johnson, 86-10 for Herseth Sandlin.
- 21 percent of South Dakota Democrats disapprove of Barack Obama. 11 percent of South Dakota Republicans approve of the president.
- Obama’s approval among white South Dakotans is 37 percent. Among non-white South Dakotans (7 percent of the sample), it’s 58 percent.
- This is probably insignificant because we’re talking about the preferences of about 20 to 25 people here in the polling sample, but among non-white Republicans, Noem has a huge 61-8 lead over Rounds in a potential primary.
- No surprise that Obama’s approval rating is highest among young South Dakotans, aged 18-29 — 50 percent approve of the president, versus 45 percent who disapprove. Less predictable? Obama’s second-best age category are people over 65, where 42 percent approve and 52 percent don’t. The most anti-Obama age group are people aged 30 to 45, among whom just 28 percent approve and 66 percent disapprove.
- In light of those numbers, I looked at the Rounds-Noem primary matchup by age. Rounds beats Noem among 18 to 29-year-old Republicans (44-39) and Republicans 65 and older (43-38), but is tied among those 30-45.
- Unfortunately for my curiosity, PPP didn’t poll about how Herseth Sandlin would fare in a primary challenge to Tim Johnson. That is very unlikely to happen, but wouldn’t the poll result be fascinating?
