Scientists in the United States have developed a fluid-filled womb-like bag known as an extra-uterine support device that could transform care for extremely premature babies, significantly improving chances of survival.

In pre-clinical studies with lambs, the researchers were able to mimic the womb environment and the functions of the placenta, giving premature offspring a crucial opportunity to develop their lungs and other organs.

Records from former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s divorce case show how he has been able to collect hefty benefit checks from the federal government after serving time in prison for looting hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign fund.

Jackson, 51, receives about $138,400 a year — more than he made as a freshman congressman in 1995. Most of that — about $100,000 — is workers' compensation and tax-free, according to Chicago attorney Barry Schatz, who is representing Jackson in his divorce proceeding.
The rest of Jackson's benefits are Social Security Disability Insurance payments, some of which may be taxable, Schatz said.

Newbeginnings:
Have you heard of anything as having too much nutrients.... So in conclusion every antibiotic whether natural or refined is supposed to have a prescription
Stay Healthy Stay Wise

I though we are dealing with natural products not chemical like your antibiotics prescription.

Hospital antibiotics have become one of the most over-prescribed "medicines" today. As a result, people have ruined their digestive systems and ironically, have lowered their natural immunity to all types of infections in the future. Get rid of infections without the digestive destruction, with these five powerful natural antibiotics.

1. Garlic
Up first is the natural antibiotic garlic! Garlic has been used medicinally by cultures around the world for thousands of years. In fact, it was used in the 1700s to ward off the plague.Garlic possesses potent antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties and is able to help protect and facilitate removal of unfriendly bacteria. It is also very high in natural

antioxidants that destroy free radicals, which also supports a strong immune system.

The active ingredient in garlic, allicin, is the key component to killing and warding off harmful bacteria. Crush it to activate these compounds, and eat it raw, in a warm tea or in lightly cooked food.

2. Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver has been known as an effective antibiotic for centuries. In the early 1900s, Alfred Searle, founder of the Searle pharmaceutical company, discovered that it could kill the most deadly pathogens.
Searle stated that applying colloidal silver to human subjects has been done in a large number of cases with astonishing results. The main advantage was that it was rapidly fatal to microbes without toxic action on its host.

Recent research has also stated that colloidal silver can destroy antibiotic resistant microbes like MRSA, the bird flu, and SARS.

3. Oil of Oregano
Oil of oregano takes care of pathogenic bacteria without disrupting beneficial bacteria. It is also antiviral and antifungal which makes it a powerful, natural antibiotic with a three-in-one combination that rivals pharmaceuticals while not encouraging antibiotic resistance The key antimicrobial ingredient in oil of oregano is carvacrol. You should ensure that your source is at least 70 percent carvacrol content in order to be effective.

4. EchinaceaEchinacea has been used to treat a wide variety of infections for hundreds of years. Traditionally, it was used to treat open wounds, diphtheria, blood poisoning, and other bacterial related illnesses.
Today, this potent herb is used mostly for colds and flu, due to its ability to destroy the most dangerous forms of bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus, which causes deadly MRSA.

5. Manuka Honey
Perhaps the most palatable antibiotic comes in the form of manuka honey. Applied topically, it can kill a wide range of pathogens including MRSA and flesh-eating bacteria. It was also found that the treated bacteria did not build up any resistance, which would eventually render manuka honey ineffective.This is certainly not an exhaustive list of natural antibiotics, but a great start for an all natural pharmacy. Also, consider reishi, pau d'arco, Una de Gato, olive leaf extract, cloves, turmeric and even lemons to round out your antibiotic arsenal.

Solar energy is not only sustainable, it is renewable and this means that we will never run out of it. It is about as natural a source of power as it is possible to generate electricity.


The creation of solar energy requires little maintenance. Once the solar panels have been installed and are working at maximum efficiency there is only a small amount of maintenance required each year to ensure they are in working order.

They are a silent producer of energy. There is absolutely no noise made from photovoltaic panels as they convert sunlight into usable electricity.

There are continual advancements in solar panel technology which are increasing the efficiency and lowering the cost of production, thus making it even more cost effective.
During operation solar electricity power plants produce zero emissions.


What is solar energy?
Solar energy is, simply, energy provided by the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, which makes the production of solar electricity possible.

Electricity can be produced directly from photovoltaic, PV, cells. (Photovoltaic literally means “light” and “electric.”) These cells are made from materials which exhibit the “photovoltaic effect” i.e. when sunshine hits the PV cell, the photons of light excite the electrons in the cell and cause them to flow, generating electricity.

Solar energy produces electricity when it is in demand – during the day particularly hot days when air-conditioners drive up electricity demand.

In use, solar energy produces no emissions. One megawatt hour of solar electricity offsets about 0.75 to 1 tonne of CO2.

PV panels are being used increasingly, both in the city and in remote locations, to produce electricity for households, schools and communities, and to supply power for equipment such as telecommunication and water pumps. The majority of solar PV installations in Australia are grid-connected systems.

Also, electricity for remote and regional Australian communities has been supplied by solar energy for many years.

Australia is one of the sunniest countries in the world and there is huge potential for solar PV to make a significant contribution to electricity generation.

The girls were hugged by their parents in an emotional reunion.
Lai Mohammed, Nigeria's Minister of Information and culture, said: "We can all see the joy and emotions of the parents." He added that they will not rest and continue talks with the Islamists until all the girls have been released. "Very soon, another batch, bigger than this would be released."

Nigerian president's spokesperson, Garba Shehu, told AFP news agency: "The Mamman Nur faction of the Boko Haram has indicated its willingness to negotiate the release of more Chibok girls in their custody. The group claims that it has 83 more girls to release on negotiation."
Meanwhile, it is not yet clear how the recent release was negotiated but conflicting reports suggested that the girls were exchanged for four detained Boko Haram commanders. However, Nigerian authorities have denied such reports.

According to Associated Press, a "large ransom" was paid by the Swiss government on behalf of Nigeria.
On Thursday, the girls were released and flown to Abuja but according to AP, it took a few days for their parents to arrive. Most of them arrived on Sunday.

Nearly 300 girls were kidnapped in April 2014, drawing attention to the Boko Haram insurgency inundating the area. Many escaped few hours after the kidnapping by jumping off lorries and running to nearby bushes but after last week's release, 197 still remain captive.

Yamaha PSR-E453 and PSR-EW400 Portable Keyboards Boast Professional Feature Sets, Enhanced Control, Ease-of-Use

BUENA PARK, Calif. (June 15, 2016) – Yamaha has added the PSR-E453 and the PSR-EW400 to its popular family of portable keyboards, the best-selling line in the United States.

These new models offer a host of serious, yet easy-to-use professional features to help beginners and intermediate musicians take their live performance, composing and recording to the next level.

The 61-key PSR-E453 provides both audio and MIDI transfer via the USB to HOST port – a first at this price point, and previously available only on professional-level keyboards. This enables easy transmission of data between the keyboard and a connected computer, including keyboard performance information and Song playback data. Additionally, assignable Live Control Knobs on the PSR-E453 allow for on-the-fly manipulation of Voices and Styles, similar to an analog synth.

The instrument includes more than 750 high-resolution instrument Voices, giving players an incredible pallet of sounds to choose from, whether creating or performing live. Moreover, the new keyboard features DJ Pattern Mode, which puts a wealth of powerful loops and beats at the user’s fingertips to instantly and spontaneously create dynamically varied music like a DJ. Rounding out the features is a powerful, 6W on-board speaker system.
Designed with the piano-focused player in mind, the PSR-EW400 is the first keyboard in the PSR-E series to incorporate 76 touch-sensitive keys in a wider design, which provides extra room for Split Keyboard and piano playing. It features a high-resolution Live! Grand Piano Voice, an Arpeggio function, a robust 12W per side sound system, as well as auxiliary line outputs for connecting to external amplification, making it a solid choice for the gigging musician.

Finally, the keyboard has many easy-to-use professional features that allow the user to tailor the sound and effects to their needs, then save it to a Registration button for instant recall. Banks of Registrations can be saved to a USB drive and reloaded at will.

"The PSR-E453 and PSR-EW400 are ideal starter instruments, but also are robust alternatives for experienced players who seek advanced capabilities for their live performance and/or their composing," said Mark Anderson, director of marketing, Keyboard division, Yamaha Corporation of America. "While both are smart investments, the PSR-E453 is an easy choice for those wanting to add personal control options to their performance, while the PSR-EW400 is the perfect answer for a gigging pianist on a budget."

Getting The Most From Your Yamaha Piano

Your Yamaha Piano is an important investment that can provide you with many years of reliable service. As a new owner, we want to give you a few simple ideas that you can readily apply to ensure top performance and long life for your Yamaha Piano. Please read through this information carefully and follow its instructions. You will be rewarded with many years of personal, pleasurable satisfaction.

Where to locate your piano

Proper conditions mean better sound: Pianos work best and sound best when the temperature and humidity are right. Proper ventilation is also important. Generally speaking, a relative humidity of between 40 and 45 percent is ideal for pianos. The use of materials such as wood, felt and cloth in piano construction means that many parts are quite delicate. If not properly cared for, they can be damaged easily. Therefore we are unable to assume responsibility for damage resulting from abuse, harsh treatment, or extended exposure to adverse conditions.

How humidity affects a piano: Felt, cloth, leather and the precision wood parts-some of them machined to tolerances as fine as 1/100mm-used in such critical parts of the piano as the action, are extremely sensitive to humidity. Too much humidity will result in dull hammer action and unclear tones, rusting of internal parts and sticking keys. Before this happens the humid condition should be addressed and the piano should be serviced.

How to protect against excessive moisture: Your dealer can advise you how best to compensate for climatic conditions in your area. However, here are a few general tips for proper care. On cloudy or rainy days close all windows in the piano room. Also, be sure to close the top board each time after playing. Be especially careful about excessive moisture if you live in one of the following places:

・Along a seacoast or in a rainy or humid region.

・In a valley, in a house facing hills, or in an area with poor drainage.

・In a concrete building not more than one or two years old.

・In an area where air exhausts are directed into a room or in a dark room facing north.

Beware of excessive dryness: Too much humidity is a problem, but excessive dryness is an even more serious one, especially where heating or cooling systems are used to create artificially dry rooms. Used in naturally dry climates, the piano has enough natural moisture to prevent excessive drying. However, if the air becomes too dry the wooden and felt components will shrink. In extreme cases, the soundboard, joints and other laminated sections may even come apart, even though they have been glued together carefully. Slight distortion of the parts may cause noise, and the tuning pins may work loose, making it difficult to keep the piano in tune. To avoid excessive dryness it is best to keep some kind of leafy plant or a humidifier in the piano room.

Avoid sudden temperature changes: When a cold room is warmed suddenly, moisture will condense on the piano strings and other metal parts, causing them to rust. Felt parts will absorb moisture, dulling their action and resulting in unclear sound. Be especially careful about sudden temperature changes when moving your piano into a room in a cold northern climate or into an airtight room in a concrete building.

Optimize your piano's environment

Proper conditions mean better sound: Pianos work best and sound best when the temperature and humidity are right. Proper ventilation is also important. Generally speaking, a relative humidity of between 40 and 45 percent is ideal for pianos.

Felt parts will absorb moisture, dulling their action and resulting in unclear sound. Be especially careful about sudden temperature changes when moving your piano into a room in a cold northern climate or into an airtight room in a concrete building.

Easy-care practices and good habits

Dust your piano regularly: Dust can dull the hammer action and cause noise. Dust the piano frequently with a soft cloth or feather duster and wipe the finish with a soft cloth.

Keep the keyboard clean: The keyboard should be wiped periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Never use cleaners containing alcohol, as the keys will become cracked. If the keyboard is very dirty, wipe it with a cloth dipped in a solution of soap and water and wrung out well. The same cloth should not be used for cleaning the surface of the piano, however. A good habit to cultivate is never to play the piano with dirty hands. That way the keyboard will stay clean for a long time.

Do not place objects on top of the piano: A heavy object may cause poor tone or noisy vibrations if placed on the piano. A vase of flowers may look attractive on the piano, but if it should spill and water enter the piano serious damage can result. Water will rust the metal parts of the piano and damage the hammer and action. Avoid costly accidents and never place anything except sheet music or a metronome on the piano.

Avoid contact with certain materials, avoid spilling: Avoid the possibility of the piano coming into contact with the following materials:

・Plastic products.

・Vinyl products.

・Anything containing alcohol.

・Liquids such as cosmetics, insecticides, any kind of aerosol.

・Paint thinner or petroleum based products

Adopt a schedule of regular service

Why schedule regular service? Having your piano serviced regularly is a lot like taking vitamins. As you regularly take vitamins, you generally feel better and you are able to perform at your peak level. Also, taking vitamins helps you avoid serious illnesses and other health-related problems. The same is true regarding regular service for your piano. Regular service will keep your piano's performance (and your enjoyment) at its peak level. It will also correct "progressive" problems early, before they turn into costly repairs. For these reasons Yamaha strongly recommends that you adopt a schedule of regular service for your piano.

Tuning and adjustment: Pianos are delicate instruments that need professional attention periodically. Basically there are two types of professional piano care: tuning and adjustment.

Tuning means correcting the pitch of every note by retightening the strings. Each piano string is normally stretched to a pressure of about 90 kilograms (198pounds). Eventually, though, it will stretch further with use and lose some of its tension, causing the piano to lose its correct pitch. The strings need to be tuned a minimum of twice a year to restore them to their proper tension.

Adjustment involves the entire piano action, keyboard and pedal movements. Proper adjustment is especially important for grand pianos. Whether the piano will perform properly or not depends on how accurately the adjustment is made.

Tuning and adjustment should always be done by an expert. When your piano requires either one, ask your Yamaha dealer or call a specialist. Your dealer can also advise you about the interval between adjustments for your piano under the circumstances in which it is used.
