Glaucoma patients may seek complementary and alternative medicine treatments to replace or supplement their traditional medicine management. In an urban referral glaucoma practice setting, approximately 5 of glaucoma patients reported use of complementary and alternative medicines specifically for glaucoma.66 Numerous nontraditional treatments have been described, including ginkgo biloba, bilberry, taurine, magnesium, and vitamin B12, most of which have putative benefits in glaucoma besides IOP reduction.67 Vitamin C (ascorbate) may lower IOP, probably by an osmotic effect (see chapter 8). Topical application of forskolin may have a transient IOP-reducing effect.67 Available evidence does not support the use of alternative medicines for glaucoma therapy.68,69

Insectivores are secretive, nocturnal, shy, and for most humans fall into neither the cute and cuddly nor the big and scary attention-generating categories. A few individual insectivore species, however, have been singled out for attention. The greater hedgehog tenrec (Setifer setosus), for example, is probably the most recognizable of the insectivores. This creature is easy to keep as a pet and has a large enthusiastic following. Hedgehogs are also important in research on diseases such as foot and mouth disease, yellow fever, and influenza. Old home remedies sometimes called for hedgehog blood, entrails or ashes. Mixed with pitch or resin, the burned hindquarters supposedly helped cure baldness. The hedgehog was used to predict the weather and if buried under a building was thought to bring good luck. The Romans kept hedgehogs as pets during the fourth century B.C. and they remain domesticated to this day. Other uses over the years for this spiny insectivore include consumption of...
Alternativecomplimentary Treatment
Last Updated on Sun, 16 Sep 2018 | Stem Cells
Alternative medicine has been defined as the use of various treatment modalities that are not usually used in traditional medicine, taught in medical schools, or covered by insurance companies. Terminology, however, is changing and these treatments are being incorporated more and more into traditional therapies and hence the term complimentary medicine is now used more frequently (Complimentary-Alternative Medicine CAM ). In 1991, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) established the office for Alternative Medicine to address the growing use of these treatments. It has been estimated that two-thirds of the American population has used some form of CAM (59). Of importance, 70 ofthose patients using CAM did not disclose this use to their physician (60). In 1998 the Alternative Medicine office changed its name to the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). Alternative therapies include things such as imagery, biofeedback, acupuncture, reiki, dietary...

Project Title Effects Of Meditation On Mechanisms Of Chd
Last Updated on Sat, 18 Aug 2018 | Public Health
Summary Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death, disability, and health care costs in the US. The majority of CHD patients continue to have acute cardiac events, many sudden and unexpected, despite identification and treatment of their disease and attention to the traditional risk factors. The pathophysiologic bases of these cardiac events are not fully established, but substantial evidence indicates that psychosocial stress and resulting sympathetic nervous system imbalance are major contributors. Evidence indicates that psychosocial stress and a hyperresponsive sympathetic nervous system have adverse effects on both vasomotor function and long-term autonomic balance. Recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute cardiac events-specifically, identification of the roles that arterial vasomotor dysfunction and autonomic nervous system imbalances play in the interplay of psychosomatic stress and CHD. Preliminary evidence further suggests that...
The Need For Evidencebased Research
Last Updated on Tue, 23 Feb 2016 | Drug Discovery
Many users of CAM fail to question the potential harm or benefit of such therapies. There is a tendency of laypersons and many alternative medicine practitioners to view anything labeled as alternative, natural, or holistic as safe. This is a false assumption and should not be made regarding any therapy. There is nothing natural about chelating minerals out of or injecting glutathione or acupuncture needles into a person's body. Conventional medicine demands that its prescribed treatments be carefully scrutinized by evidence-based research, mostly in the form of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. These trials scientifically examine both the short and long-term adverse events and potential efficacy of the treatment and also determine detailed guidelines and standards for prescribing a particular therapy. A large discrepancy exists between the popularity of CAM and the concern or interest among its many users and prescribers for good evidence-based research....

We have come a long way in our understanding of BPD. Outcome data for the approaches described in this chapter have shown that while there is no cure for BPD, most people can be helped substantially (Clarkin et al., 1999 Eckert & Wuchner, 1996 Koerner & Linehan, 2000). Currently, there is an ongoing study that randomly assigns patients to Linehan's DBT, Kernberg's TFP, or a control group (Kernberg, 2002) this study should help us to understand more about the disorder by seeing the differential effects of different treatments. More studies that employ neuropsychological testing could greatly improve our understanding of how people with BPD process information. In his review, Soloff et al. (2000) concludes that many medications are being used without an adequate research base further research into the use of medications is not only warranted but, I would argue, an ethical necessity. To date, alternative medicine approaches, such as herbal remedies, acupuncture, and homeopathy, have...

One of the most compelling niches that has developed in the E-Bike market is the E-Chopper. This Cruzer makes the same statement as a Harley or an Indian - well, maybe not exactly - but it does let you be sensitive to the environment and your wallet at the same time. It costs less than ¼ of the price of the aforementioned hogs, less than 1% of the operating cost, and has zero carbon emissions. Unfortunately, we do not sell chaps.
This is a European-built bike designed by French entrepreneur Mathieu Rauzier for Rayvolt, a Spanish company. The Cruzer is fast and powerful and can climb hills like mad.
The bike offers six levels of pedal assist, ranging from no assist to full power. In auto mode, the bike adjusts its assistance to the terrain and conditions of the ride. The bike also has a built-in GPS system which gives the rider access to routes, maps, and travel guides.
The Rayvolt Cruzer uses a back wheel hub motor. This innovative hub has a brushless, 3-phase, dc motor made from 48 copper coils and magnets that are placed on the perimeter of the motor for the best possible torque.
The built-in controller receives heat and position data from the coils and computes where to put the next load within one millisecond. This accuracy produces a pure sine wave current, offering unmatched ride comfort which translates into better acceleration, better responsiveness, more torque, less noise, and less vibration.
The performance and life expectancy of any electric vehicle is directly linked to the type of cell used. The capacity of the battery pack also depends on the number of cells used.
Rayvolt uses 13 cells in series to reach a nominal voltage of 48V. At peak voltage, a full charge of 54.6V gives a lot of power. They use a minimum of 4 cells in parallel (52 cells in total) or 8 cells in parallel (104 Cells in total).
This gives an unmatched capacity of 550Wh (watt hours) and 1100Wh where most of the industry uses 300 to 360Wh. Using a state-of-the-art battery management system in the packs, each cell is connected to it before delivering the charge. This high-tech design balances the charge between each individual cell and can cut the connection in case of a short circuit. This ensures best possible performance while making the battery safer.
The electronic braking system sends a signal to the motor controller and provokes a reverse effect in the motor. This converts torque into resistance using the wheel inertia to generate electricity and recharge the batteries. It acts like an ultra powerful dynamo.
The intelligent RBS is linked to the built-in gyroscope, allowing the bike to detect the cycling environment. It then provides the necessary amount of regenerative brake according to the angle of the hill. iRBS paired with the cloud-based iTS allows you to remotely lock your rear wheel.
The Eiva® is Rayvolt''s developed software to control, customize, and monitor your Rayvolt bike.
An Eiva® computer can be purchased and secured mounted to the handlebars, ready to go whenever you are. The software can also be downloaded for use on an existing Android or iPhone.

Make time for it. Set aside time each day to practise self-care. Even if it's just a few minutes, or as long as an hour or two, make a date with yourself and do something that makes you feel good or relaxed.
Don't double-book. If a friend or co-worker wants to see you or needs a favour during your self-care time, tell them you're busy. Because you are busy. Busy looking after yourself!
Be prepared. Have a list handy of self-care activities that you like, or want to try. Some possible options include: swimming, walking, meditating, napping, reading, watching TV, doing yoga or breathing exercises, cooking, drawing, playing sport, hanging out with pets, gaming or journaling. Have you missed anything? Put it on the list!
Tune-in. At the start of your self-care 'date', take a moment to tune in to how you're feeling at that very moment. What self-care activity would work best for you right then?
Learn to switch off. This can be hard, especially if you're used to thinking about your school or work problems at home. But self-care is the time to focus only on you! If switching off is a challenge for you, try doing something that diverts your attention, such as solving a puzzle or reading a book.
Learn some quick fixes. If you're absolutely frazzled and short on time, learn some strategies that you can focus on for just a few minutes. Breathing exercises and stretching are great, as you can do them quickly and just about anywhere!


I get told by people a lot that they want to workout/get in shape/lose weight/etc... but they are afraid to start. They don't think they can do CrossFit or that CrossFit is only for fit people.

Like so many artists' lives in the 20th century, Bohuslav Martinů's career is characterised by moving many times, and his works were assigned and published by various publishers.
Bohuslav Martinů lived and composed in many places throughout the world and his works are divided amongst almost twenty publishing houses. Most of his compositions are still reprinted from the original editions, now fifty or more years old and often inadequate, and containing editorial interventions that were not authorised by the composer. Some works are still being distributed by publishers in the form of reproductions of the autograph manuscripts. A significant number of Martinů's compositions are publicly inaccessible. The source materials for most of his compositions are scattered throughout a number of private and public archives and institutions internationally. Since 1994 these have been collected and archived by the Bohuslav Martinů Institute in Prague, which is preparing The Bohuslav Martinů Complete Edition for publication on behalf of the Martinů Foundation.
Symphony No. 4, H 305, was written in the spring of 1945 during the last months of World War II. The work was officially commissioned by William Ziegler. The Zieglers had lived in Manhattan since their marriage in 1927, and as they were prominent patrons of the arts, it may be assumed that they were actively involved in cultural events. It is thus very probable that Martinů continued to meet with the Zieglers in New York even after the summer of 1943 and the commission could have been made at this time. The symphony was premiered on 30 November 1945 by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy. This was followed by additional performances in December in various locations throughout the United States. Martinů attended the premiere, as shown from his correspondence with his family before and after the event. According to the author's own words from his letter home, the premiere was a great success. A study of the available American reviews reveals a generally positive consensus expressing admiration for the praiseworthy musicality enhanced by compositional skill, and the ability to exploit the classical form while using new content. As far as we know, the work was performed once more in New York in 1948 by the Rochester Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Erich Leinsdorf. As Bohuslav Martinů was still living in the US at the time, it is possible that he attended the concert.
In Europe the work became known thanks to the efforts of Rafael Kubelík. He conducted the European premiere with the Czech Philharmonic in Prague on 10 October 1946. Kubelík then conducted the symphony in other European cities and in Australia. Martinů sent different lists of corrections to his publisher, but it is uncertain whether Kubelík was ever informed of the alterations, and if he was, whether his later performances reflected the changes to the original score. All twenty-four performances that Kubelík conducted before his emigration from Czechoslovakia on 17 July 1948 were based on the autograph manuscript. However, the four performances that he directed in 1950 in London and the Netherlands may have been based on the published version of the score.
The symphony did not remain unaltered; before publication, Martinů decided to alter some passages, primarily concerning the piano. It is not possible to precisely date when he made the changes that appear in the printed score, due to missing scores and the fact that the symphony was not published by Boosey & Hawkes until 1950. The publishing history of the symphony attests to the diligence with which both Martinů and the editors from B&H strived for an accurate edition. Nevertheless, mistakes were made and the published score contains more than seventy errors. Due to the fact that Martinů completed all his alterations before allowing the symphony to be published, the main text of this edition follows the composer's final authorised version. However, as performances from 1945 to 1948 used the autograph version, this period documents the original concept of the composition. Appendixes contain the diverging passages of its original version.
Sharon A. Choa / Sandra Bergmannová
During his first post-war trip to Europe in the summer of 1948, Martinů spent two weeks at the Schönenberg Estate near Basel as the guest of Paul and Maja Sacher. During this visit he revived his plans for the composition of a cantata, and together with his host he decided on its topic. He decided to base his libretto on one of the oldest literary documents of history, the extensive Ancient Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh from the Third Dynasty of Ur (2112–2004 BC), which draws on oral traditions. It was not until 30 August 1954, after another short visit to Schönenberg, that Martinů returned to the topic of Gilgamesh, and on 18 February 1955, Martinů reported that he had finished the piece that very day.
During the compositional process Gilgamesh evolved from a "Secular Cantata" into something that "is not an oratorio […] nor a cantata […], it is simply an epic". Without resorting to historicist allusions, Martinů drew creatively from his intense interest in early music. The solo sections of the Epic reveal a knowledge of the "stile recitativo" of Cavalieri's allegory La Rappresentazione di Anima, et di Corpo; the choral parts reflect his studies of the early ars antiqua period of the development of polyphony, especially the works of Pérotin and the Parisian School of Notre-Dame.
The archaic Elizabethan English into which Campbell Thompson had transcribed the Epic of Gilgamesh caused the composer many problems. Well aware of the difficulties that the language would pose to both the performers and the audience at the Basel premiere, Martinů suggested rehearsing a German translation variant to Sacher before the piece itself was completed. At Sacher's request, the German poetic translation was undertaken by Arnold Heinz Eichmann the following year, and it is this translation that was finally used for the premiere of the piece.
The premiere of The Epic of Gilgamesh took place in Basel on 23 January 1958, with Paul Sacher conducting the Basel Chamber Orchestra and the Basel Chamber Choir. The Czechoslovak premiere of the work took place on 28 May 1958 in the Smetana Hall in Prague during the Prague Spring festival. After the Turin, Frankfurt and London productions, on 21 June 1959 the very prestigious Viennese premiere of Gilgamesh took place. Paul Sacher conducted the Philharmonia Hungarica and the Wiener Singakademie.
A short time before beginning work on the Epic Martinů was approached by Sacher and was asked to limit the role of the speaker to a minimum. Sacher's later request that the speaker be removed completely and his text divided among the soloists resulted in the composer's suggestion to split the speaker's role between the solo bass and tenor. This critical edition assigns all spoken passages to the speaker (as was Martinů's most probable original intention) and includes the composer's authorised alternative solo tenor and bass designations in brackets.
Until recently it was not known that Martinů planned a semi-theatrical production of The Epic of Gilgamesh "halfway between a concert and an opera." In April 1957 he wrote two proposals with suggestions on how "to represent the Epic and not an Oratorio" where "the singers should turn more towards each other than to the audience, and the choir must also participate in the action" in order to "liberate the concert stage. [...] it is not an Oratorio immobile. It is an old ceremonial and as such, it allows, even demands a certain liberty which otherwise would be out of place in Oratorio." Sacher's response to this unusual suggestion was wholly dismissive, nor did the publisher print the composer's notes on the staging of Gilgamesh, so the notes were completely forgotten.

Jesus criticised the Galilean fishing village of Bethsaida for its inhabitants' lack of faith. In contrast, at least three of its native sons — Peter, Andrew and Philip — responded to his call and gave up everything to follow him.
Path among the ruins of et-Tell/Bethsaida (Seetheholyland.net)
Jesus had performed several "deeds of power" in the area before his condemnation: "Woe to you, Bethsaida!" (Luke 10:13-14):
He gave sight to a blind man and, not far away, he taught and fed a crowd of 5000. And from the Bethsaida shore he was seen walking on the Sea of Galilee.
Despite the locals' spiritual blindness, Bethsaida is one of the most frequently mentioned towns in the New Testament.
"Indeed Bethsaida, Chorazin and Tabgha — with Capernaum as the base's midpoint — constituted the 'evangelical triangle', on the northwestern end of the Sea of Galilee, within which approximately 80% of Jesus' public ministry was exercised, according to the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke!" writes biblical scholar Daniel W. Casey.
A fishing village far from the water?
The first-century Roman writer Pliny the Elder called Bethsaida "one of four lovely cities on the Sea of Galilee". Yet, like Capernaum and Chorazim, Bethsaida was abandoned and forgotten for many centuries.
In fact scholars are uncertain over whether there might have been two towns called Bethsaida, one on the west of where the River Jordan enters the Sea of Galilee, and the other on the east.
Et-Tell/Bethsaida with the Sea of Galilee in the distance (Seetheholyland.net)
One site claimed by archaeologists to be Bethsaida is at et-Tell on the east of the Jordan, 2 kilometres north of the Sea of Galilee. Others favour the site of el-Araj, near the north-eastern shore of the lake.
The location of et-Tell — first suggested by the American scholar Edward Robinson in 1839 — presents a further puzzle: How could a fishing village be so far from the water? The reason offered is that the landscape has changed since the time of Jesus.
The suggestion is that an earthquake has lifted et-Tell and the Sea of Galilee has shrunk in size. In Christ's day, according to biblical archaeologist Bargil Pixner, the Jordan River did not sweep in a large loop as it does today, but flowed straight into a shallow lagoon before reaching the lake, so a small part of Bethsaida lay on the west bank of the river.
At el-Araj, archaeologists in 2017 discovered a Roman-era (first- to third-century AD) bathhouse, which they suggested was evidence for a significant urban settlement at the site.
In 2019 they reported finding the remains of a large Byzantine-era church which they believed to be the Church of the Apostles, built over the house of the apostles Peter and Andrew. This church was described by a visiting bishop in 725.
Three years later the discovery of a mosaic inscribed with a petition to the "head and leader of the heavenly apostles" (assumed to be St Peter) strengthened el-Araj's claim to be Bethsaida.
City destroyed and never rebuilt
In AD 30 — about the time Jesus was crucified — the local ruler, Herod the Great's son Philip, raised the fishing village of Bethsaida to the status of a city and named it Bethsaida Julias (in honour of the wife of the Emperor Augustus).

Bethsaida Julias contained both Gentile (Syrian) and Jewish populations, and it apparently continued to exist after the Jewish Revolt in AD 66-74, but declined in the 3rd century and was probably destroyed by the Assyrian invasion in the 8th century.
The excavation site of et-Tell is located in a public recreation area known as Jordan Park, close to the Yahudia Junction at the intersection of Routes 87 and 92.
Excavators say they have found a much older Iron Age site beneath a Hellenistic-Roman village. They believe this city was the ancient capital of the kingdom of Geshur, fortified with a massive city wall and a monumental gateway.
Their identifications include a house belonging to a fisherman and an apparent wine cellar. They also found a gold Roman coin from the 2nd century AD.
The excavators believe that the fishing village on the site was also an important centre of fish processing — drying and salting — in the time of Jesus and his disciples.

Jesus curses Bethsaida: Luke 10:13-14, Matthew 11:20-22
Jesus cures a blind man: Mark 8:22-26

More and more, we're communicating with 3-letter abbreviations. BRB, LOL, WTF, etc. Smart phones, although convenient, are also adding to our disconnection from objects as things made by humans. This Split Flap Display brings text and animation back to its mechanical roots.
By pushing the buttons, you cycle through all the letters of the alphabet to spell out your thoughts in acronym form, and the last frame is an animation of the very first cat video (by Eadweard Muybridge). Why use high-resolution, multi-functional devices when you can get back to your industrial revolution roots?
This project was designed (like pretty much all of my other projects) with Fusion 360. It's free, it's powerful, it's easy to learn, and the mechanical assembly tools make a project like this much easier than it would be otherwise.
The white parts are 3D printed on the Fortus 450mc we have at Pier 9. This is a high-end production quality machine, but there's no reason you couldn't make this project with a consumer grade desktop 3D printer. This machine is awesome because the resolution is much higher than my desktop machine. The thinner layer thickness makes for smoother surfaces, and it prints in ABS, ASA, and a number of other super durable materials. It also has a separate material for support structures that's soluble in a lye bath we have in the lab, so it makes for excellent results with minimal effort. If you don't have access to a 3D printer, 3D Hubs or Shapeways can print the parts for you.
I used M2 machine screws and nuts for all the fastening. The quantities below are per display module. The configuration I built has 4 modules, but you could build as many as you want and connect them. The Arduino motor shield has 16 channels, so if you want more than than that you'll have to find another means of controlling the rotation.
Ball Bearing: Open Flanged, 52100 Steel, for 1/4" Shaft Diameter, 11/16" OD: 2 total per module: $3.55 ea.
Miniature 12L14 Drive Steel Shaft 1/4" OD, 3" Length: 1 total per module: $3.44 ea.
To keep the modules secure while pushing the buttons, I made a simple laser cut plywood base. This is just cheap 1/4" birch plywood.
I found this old patent drawing of a split flap display to get a sense of what the right way to build it might be. It's pretty simple. The characters are split between two flaps, the flaps are hinged on a rotating spool, and there's a catch / tongue at the top to keep the upper flap from falling down.
This drawing depicts a display (probably for a clock) that only has numbers, so only 10 flaps are needed (1-9 and 0). I wanted mine to use text, so I went with 27 flaps (a-z and a blank).
This was pretty much all the info I needed to get going. With hardware models downloaded from McMaster Carr, I was able to figure out the motion of the different parts, the placement of gears and servos, and plan everything out before I started fabricating.
The STEP file in this step is the full model of the module pictured here. The STL files are ready for 3D printing. UPDATE: The PDF and AI files in this step have the full laser cut layout. It's got multiple copies of the parts, so be sure to only cut the number of parts you need.
The split flap layout with text was a bit tricky, but once you understand the concept it's pretty simple. Basically the "front" of each flap pair is a whole letter, and the "back" of each flap pair has the bottom of the next letter and the top of the previous letter. So "a" has the bottom of "b" behind its top flap, and the top of "z" behind its bottom flap.
The laser cutting was by far the most time-consuming and difficult part of the process. To get the etched letters to show up clearly, I painted the 1.5mm acrylic with a layer of white acrylic paint, then once that was dry covered it with a layer of black acrylic paint. That way I was able to dial in my etch settings so that the laser just burned off the black paint layer, leaving white letters on a black background.
The drawings below spell out the assembly process in detail. Nut pockets are built into the 3D printed parts, and the acrylic parts all have t-slots. No glue is used because you never know when you might need to take it apart and replace something.
The hardest part is inserting the flaps. The trick is to assemble the wheel so that the screws and nuts are very loose- just barely held together. That way you can click the flaps into place one-by-one, then tighten all the screws once the flaps are in.
The base is pretty simple- it's just a hollow platform for the the flip display modules to sit on with brackets at each end to keep them secure. I made some plugs (pictured below in the drawing) that keep the modules together and prevent them from moving around when you push the buttons.
The PDF in this step has the laser cut layout for the 3mm acrylic and the 1/4" plywood, the STL files are ready for 3D printing, and the STEP file is the full assembly of the base.
Analog Inputs: Pins 2-5: Button inputs. The arcade buttons are momentary switches, so one switch lead goes to ground and the other goes to the corresponding analog input on the Arduino.
Servo outputs: Terminals 0-3: Servo motors. These are built into the motor shield and the servos connect directly to them.
A lot of this code probably isn't necessary, but it ain't broke so why fix it? If you wanted to add more modules, you'd just add servo variables and button variables.
Servo test - this will drive 16 servos, one after the other

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the finished piece. It works well when the cheap servos don't die out, and it makes a satisfying click-clack sound.
Since it's controlled by an Arduino, I was thinking about adding a black decal on the wheel part with a photo sensor lined up with it. That way, I could tell the Arduino what position the wheel is in. With that information, I could program the Arduino to spell out pre-programmed messages, or even make it controllable via Wifi.
Does some brave soul want to make 140 of these and make it write out a Twitter feed???
how complex would it be to build a wall of 50x25 of those?
This definitely isn't a design for large numbers like that. All the fussy little pieces would get lost in a big array. You would want a much simpler design for a 50 X 25 array.
Any idea about such a simple design which could be used for such big arrays? Like "vestaboard" but a bit more flexible for arrays and diy?
Hi, can you sell the components mounted?
I absolutely love it, though I would use far less heavy material for the flaps themselves. I have been working with acrylic for many years now and the weight still hampers many projects that need to function as standalone, i.e. smaller units with batteries. Nonetheless the implementation is wonderful!
It would be awesome if the 'kit' could be purchased somewhere.
That may very well be in the works. What would you pay for a kit?
What a great project ! Did you managed to move forward on the kit ? I'm very interested !
I think I could put a kit together for $200 plus shipping. If you're interested, PM me!
It's only a toy. A flip clock sells for about $30 on bay. This doesn't have a function other than fun (which I like).
Could you use a 2 channel rf remote control to control 2 split flap boards each with numbers from 0 to 25? I want to make a remote control scoreboard.
I don't see why not. This particular design is tricky because it doesn't have a way to keep track of what number is up. You could probably use a black spot on the wheel and a photo sensor to reset a counter on an arduino when you're back at zero, then count the time the motor is spinning to get an estimate of which flap is up. A scoreboard would probably work better with a stepper motor design.
i have just one question: how should i make sense of laser layout .pdf? as i understand it, the file should perhaps be opened in illustrator or a similar program, thus allowing access to each layer for printing.
however, i wasn't quite able to do that, and opening it in illustrator did not single out the layers. may i know how i can single out layers individually, then?
Sorry it took so long to reply, missed this one. I just added a PDF and an AI file for the laser cuts. These should be self-explanatory now.
This is awesome. Nice work! I've been waiting for something like this. Looking forward to building this.
JON-A-TRON, this project is really great! Thank you so much for the amazing documentation, it is really helpful in getting acquainted with all of this technology. One question about something I can't figure out. I seem to have a gap between the servo motor and gear adaptor. Was there an additional piece that connects the two together? In comparing the images in the amazon page to the fusion 360 page it looks like it is a piece that connects to the servo motor. Thanks again for all of this great info!

Tom Hanks was the surprise host as "Saturday Night Live" returned with a new remotely produced, prerecorded episode after NBC suspended production of the comedy last month in response to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
The big picture: Hanks said he was hosting "Saturday Night Live at Home" as he's been "the celebrity canary in the coal mine" for the coronavirus following his diagnosis for the virus from which he's since recovered. Alec Baldwin, Larry David and Chris Martin also made guest appearances. The show concluded with a tribute to "SNL" music producer Hal Willner, who died after presenting with COVID-19 symptoms.

Cycling in Cardiff is at a critical moment with a new cycling strategy being proposed for the city and the plans for the Active Travel Act walking and cycling networks out for consultation. What happens with these plans and strategies will depend on who is elected to the city council in May.
To find out which party will offer the best deal for the thousands of cyclists in Cardiff, Cardiff Cycle City, the organisation aiming to make Cardiff the best cycling city in the UK, is putting local politicians under the spotlight in a special cycling hustings. All major parties standing in the city elections on 4th May have been invited to send a representative to an event where they will be asked to spell out how they will improve facilities for cycling in Cardiff.
The organisation held a similar event prior to last year's Assembly elections with over fifty people attending to quiz the politicians.

First they met the watch-dog, who was going to leap on them and tear them to pieces; but they threw the remains of their bread to him, and he ate them and wagged his tail. If you need me, call.

It's no good trying to persuade her. I hide behind childish behaviors. Ten million yen will be enough for the project.

He told me to be kind to others. Come out peacefully.


Kaeser Kompressoren's revolutionary modular concept takes compressor controller technology to the next level and beyond. Welcome to the world of Sigma Control 2.
Sigma Control 2, Kaeser's PC-based compressor controller, delivers energy efficiency, reliability, and standardised servicing; its modular design offers exceptional versatility and enhances communication.
It's now more than a decade since the Coburg-based compressed air systems provider introduced its ground-breaking 'Sigma Control' internal compressor controller, the innovative "PC in a compressor." The integration of an industrial PC as standard in every compressor not only enabled cost-effective control, but also allowed networking capability between individual units and with master control systems. This breakthrough provided the keystone for today's integrated system approach to compressed air production by enabling continuous advances in energy performance and improved reliability of complex compressed air systems.
The core strengths of Kaeser's 'Sigma Control' compressor controller are its ability to optimise energy efficiency and to communicate seamlessly both internally with the compressor as well as externally with master control systems. Unsurprisingly therefore, Kaeser's development engineers also applied these outstanding features to the new generation Sigma Control 2, or SC2 as it is referred to more succinctly. However, wishing to make the Sigma Control 2 even more versatile than its predecessor, what Kaeser's engineers came up with for the SC2 was an innovative modular design that creates a "division of labour" between the main control unit and the separate input/output modules. As a result, this unique concept makes the SC2 even easier to maintain and to communicate with.
Sigma Control 2 is equipped with its own web server, which allows direct communication with the compressor via intranet/internet. So, within the scope of Kaeser's Teleservice facility for example, password-protected compressor settings and operational data can be called up and adjusted on any PC with an internet browser without the need for additional expensive software. Compressor operation and maintenance are therefore made even easier, as is regular monitoring of cost- and energy efficiency.
Sigma Control 2 communicates internally with the compressor via input/output modules that are tailored with differing inputs, outputs and floating contacts to meet the specific needs of the various compressor ranges. This future-proof concept therefore offers exceptional flexibility.
Seamless documentation of all operating conditions and parameters is essential to ensure optimum compressor performance at all times. This important task is facilitated by the memory feature included as standard with the SC2, data from which can be easily and quickly uploaded to a computer thanks to the addition of a SD card slot. The same slot also makes it possible to transfer and install software updates onto the SC2 using a pre-loaded SD card. As a result, updates can be carried out quickly and all operational settings are retained.
Sigma Control 2 provides high level security with its integrated RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) functionality. Not only does this technology ensure secure log-in for users and/or Kaeser service engineers, but also safeguards the system against unauthorised changes or operation. This security feature has been added to further standardise servicing in order to ensure high quality standards and to provide continuous quality assurance for service work.
Kaeser rotary screw compressors are already being equipped with the new Sigma Control 2 controller which will eventually become standard on all ranges.

Rebecca Pinn from Young Democrats America: 'I am noticing the same excitement as I did in 2008'
By Erik Green
Rebecca Pinn makes a more exciting case for voting Joe Biden this November, arguing he is not just the anti-Trump candidate. Our talk however reveals the tensions capable of splitting the Democratic Party in the future.
I haven spoken to Rebecca Pinn, who is the secretary of 'Young Democrats of America'. This is the youth branch of the Democratic National Party working to elect Democrats in elections across America, as well as focussing on increasing turnout and engagement with politics amongst younger people.
Listen to the interview here on the 'US Election with Erik Green' Podcast.
The main takeaways
1. 'I am noticing the same excitement as I did in 2008'
Rebecca sees significant excitement mounting, particularly amongst young Americans. And not just towards making Joe Biden president, but also concerning the Senate election.
'What's really fascinating about this election is there's a phrase in American politics that Republicans fall in line and Democrats fall in love — we need to love the candidate to vote for them. And this is one of the rare elections where I think this has flipped. I'm not saying that Democrats are just blindly voting down the line, but I think people realize how much is at stake, the direction that the Republican Party has taken this country is scary and horrifying.
'Young people are organizing March For Our Lives leading the gun control movement and leading a sunrise movement. I've never seen anything like it. And it's incredibly exciting'.
Young people are already clamouring to that new goalpost of what progress means
What has been the cause of all this increased excitement?
'I think the issues matter. I imagine 16/17-year-olds learning about horrific things in history class and all of a sudden you see horrific things happening in the present. But also you can engage more. Politics for a long time felt like a very weird game to get involved in. Social media has made a huge difference, offering young people the ability to organize Facebook groups to get together and find like-minded people from across the country. Politics is about relationships. It's about knowing people. I think young people, the reason they're able to get more engaged and able to connect way more quickly, [is because] they're able to organize faster'.
2. The Democrats are more united than in 2016 when some Sanders supporters refused to back Hilary Clinton against Trump
'I don't think that will happen again. Clinton was a very polarizing candidate. Joe Biden is very different. Biden has not had a 30-year smear campaign against him. He's a very well-liked and beloved politician. Kamala Harris makes it a very different ticket. I remember being very depressed from Trump winning and then I saw one of Harris' speeches when she won, and it was incredibly exciting. It was amazing. And she's been very progressive in the Senate'.
Has Trump's presidency united the left?
'We have seen how democracy is very precious and it needs to be taken care of. [We've also seen] the horrific direction that people want to take this country.
Most people want to live a good life and know the government has them when they need them
Has he changed the Democratic Party?
'It's made us Democrats realize that we need to step up. That there's a lot we're fighting against. For a lot of young people it's seeing that there's a status quo that was existing, that's not okay. And they're turning to the Democratic Party and saying how are we going to fix this? And so the Democratic Party is realizing they have this responsibility [where] we're now seeing all these horrific things ranging from (things we already knew existed) […] police shootings, systemic racism, huge income inequality. The Republican party is not going to fix it. And that's the hole that [we] need to fill, the role that [Democrats need to] play.
3. Joe Biden is more than the 'not Trump' option
'There is some want for normality it's been exhausting and consuming. My parents are addicted to watching the news.
'But it is about being able to pass the changes we want to make. For example, Supreme Court Justices — especially if we have another blue wave and have control of the Senate and the House. Let's pass the green new deal and make some real changes. How are we going to tackle healthcare? Make it more universal, more accessible? All those kinds of things'.
4. 'I don't think the country is as polarised as people say'
'Most people want to live a good life and know the government has them when they need them. I think it's sort of like the Twitter effect where it's the extremes that are the loudest. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing because those loudest voices are putting forward new ideas for people to think about and consider. But it's very different on a personal level, [such as] how you're interacting with your neighbour and co-workers. I think it's really easy to play the narrative of we're super polarized, but I think the majority want similar things to happen. They want good things for their neighbour. They want good things for their friends and family'.
5. Do you agree that you get more Conservative / Republican as you get older?
'I think it's more that the goalpost of what progress means moves. And so it looks like you're getting more conservative, but actually, it's just the goalpost is moving, and it might just take you some time to move with it. Young people are already clamouring to that new goalpost of what progress means.
What we deem as progressive or what we say are the new issues, those are evolving. Even in the Democratic Party people are very blunt and say this is new to me. I'm still trying to understand. I'm still trying to understand this issue. As young people, we need to be patient to make sure that everyone is moving with those goalposts'.
The direction that the Republican Party has taken this country is scary and horrifying
Which race are you most excited about?
I want Susan Collins (Republican Senator, Maine) out of the Senate. I live in Massachusetts and Maine is right there. I want Collins gone. Her Kavanaugh vote was disgraceful. Maine is a very interesting state when it comes to politics; it's very independent.
Rebecca challenged the fatigue effect view discussed on previous episodes. Namely, that people are so tired of Trump they're now prepared to vote for Biden. Rebecca delivered a far more energetic and enthusiastic case for voting for the Democratic Party.
Rebecca is a Democratic voter on the more progressive side of the party. Her excitement reflects where Joe Biden's election campaign is succeeding so far. Whilst he's appealing to some (particularly those who voted for Trump in 2016) through that theme of Trump fatigue and the want for normality, he's also successfully appealing to younger more progressive Democrats and engaging with them on really important issues.
On the surface, Biden is running a quiet and careful campaign ensuring he doesn't alienate 'the swing fatigue voters'. He doesn't want to distance them through headline speeches outlining radical policies. Beneath the surface however, through organizations like Young Democrats, a real progressive case is being made.
The significance of holding these two groups together cannot be understated. The divisions between Clinton and Sanders helped contribute to Clinton's defeat in 2016. If Joe Biden can hold this coalition of voters together, then he is in with a good chance of becoming president.
Rebecca reflected on the impact the nomination of Kamala Harris has had on this race in resonating with the more progressive and younger side of the party. The question now: will events allow him to hold this coalition of contrasting voters together? It's a very precarious balance. Biden's always at risk of stepping too far in a given direction which could cost him potential voters.

I'm super excited about this Fiesta Medal because it is by one of my favorite SA Flavor medal creators, my little girl Natalie Heath. For 2019, "Little Miss Mess" made this super sweet Lion Fiesta Medal because for the past half year she has literally been a lion.
It started with an infatuation with Lion King and quickly morphed into everything lions and Big Cats! Natalie will constantly be "on the prowl looking for prey," have her claws out or giving a big ROAR. All her art revolves around lions and at school she has recruited all the kids to be lions (one boy is the zookeeper). Even her teachers know when she is in "lion mode."
Natalie's Lion Fiesta Medal features a little cub and a male lion on top of Pride Rock. They're both giving out a ROAR and it says Fiesta Pride 2019 because not only is she proud of her medal, but because a pride is a group of lions. On the back it says hakuna matata because you should have a Fiesta of no worries!
One dollar from every sale goes to benefit the non-profit The Acorn—A School for Young Children, the place that lets Natalie's imagination run wild!

Beacon 'would have saved fisherman'
LOUISE BURKEThe West Australian
Tue, 7 February 2012 7:44PM
A man who drowned in a fishing boat accident off Two Rocks would have survived if the boat had an EPIRB distress beacon, a coronial inquest has found.
Coroner Alastair Hope has recommended urgent consideration be given to removing an EPIRB exclusion zone west of Perth, which extends from the area of Garden Island to Mindarie Keys and out as far as Rottnest Island.
Vessels within the zone are not currently required to carry an EPIRB.
The recommendation could mean thousands of boat owners who use popular recreational boating areas around Perth will be forced to fit EPIRBs to their vessels.
He has also recommended consideration be given to requiring vessels to carry three types of flares, rather than two, for both inshore and offshore waters.
Ricardo Madeira Da Silva, 27, drowned on April 24, 2010, hours after he and his two companions left their upturned boat to attempt to swim to safety.
The father of one was a keen fisherman but a weak swimmer and though the boat he owned had life-jackets and flares, it did not have an EPIRB distress beacon.
The aluminium boat capsized in rough seas off Two Rocks. It was located 4.2 nautical miles west-north-west of the Two Rocks Marina and a rescue helicopter picked up Mr Da Silva's companions Eldilio Pereira and 15-year-old Kevin Da Silva after more than six hours. Mr Da Silva's body was recovered later.
The inquest findings said the case highlighted the importance of taking basic safety precautions when ocean fishing from small vessels, with a number of factors contributing to the "dangerous situation" which resulted in Mr Da Silva's death.
As well as the lack of an EPIRB, those factors included that Mr Da Silva had not advised anyone on shore of the trip, where he was going or who he was with, he did not use a log-on-log-off procedure available at the Two Rocks Marina and he did not check to determine if others could swim or ensure poor swimmers (including himself) were wearing life jackets.
The boat was also unsuitable for ocean fishing and had poor repairs and the three men had abandoned their boat to swim to shore despite the recreational skipper's ticket workbook advising against swimming away from a capsized boat.
Mr Da Silva's companions were "extremely lucky" to have survived the incident, as it appeared unlikely they could have ever swum to shore, the coroner said.
Mr Hope said it was the view of Water Police that it was likely the existence of the extended EPIRB exempt area to the west of Perth was a major factor in Mr Da Silva's failure to carry an EPIRB and it was possible he did not realise he was outside the exempt area at the time.
"In my view the complete removal of the exempt area would provide far greater clarity to the situation and even removal of the extended exempt area west of Perth would be likely to result in a much wider appreciation of the need to carry an EPIRB than is now the case," Mr Hope said.
The rationale for the existence of the extended exclusion zone was based on historical factors, some of which had changed over time.
Mr Hope did not back the recommendations of Water Police that the general 2 nautical mile EPIRB exclusion zone, which is common around most of Australia's coast, be removed.

Beautiful and treacherous, the Western plains of Indian Territory were home to one of the most colorful personalities of the 19th century—Chickasaw rancher Montford T. Johnson. Orphaned at a young age, Johnson survived great hardships and tragedy to establish a vast ranching empire along the famous cattle highway of the American West, the Chisholm Trail. Inspired by a true story, this dramatic story tells of his time among settlers, cowboys, tribes, military and bandits. Armed with grit and determination, Montford had the courage that was needed to tame what seemed an infinite wilderness, while always maintaining respect for those who lived there.
Montford T. Johnson
Renowned Oklahoma cattleman Montford Thomas Johnson was born in November 1843 in Indian Territory near present-day Connerville, Oklahoma.
After the death of his mother, a Chickasaw, and the departure of his father, Montford grew up as an orphan. Montford became a capable farmer and worked with friends and family to build a successful cattle ranching business. He befriended the legendary trader and trailblazer Jesse Chisholm, who helped him make agreements with First American tribes on the Chickasaw Nation's Western frontier to allow him to ranch the land without threat of attack.
Montford's cattle ranch spanned a huge part of central Oklahoma, including modern-day Oklahoma City. Montford was widely known as an honest man who made business decisions that were beneficial to all involved. He was also known for his charitable actions. Montford regularly gave food to starving First Americans who had been neglected by the U.S. government. He also took in many orphaned children, giving them a loving home in which they could grow.
Montford worked to improve the lives of fellow First Americans who had been forced onto reservations by the U.S. government, making agreements that allowed them to take cattle from his herds whenever they needed food.
Montford died in Minco, Oklahoma, on February 17, 1896.
Mary Elizabeth Johnson
Montford Johnson's first wife, Mary Elizabeth (Campbell) Johnson was the daughter of Sergeant Charles Campbell and his Irish wife, Mary. Mary Elizabeth met Montford while he was looking after the homestead of her older brother, Michael, who was married to Montford's sister.
Montford and Mary Elizabeth quickly fell in love, and they married in the fall of 1862. Mary Elizabeth had nine children and was very adept at ranch life. She was adamant about saving money, with the intent of providing better opportunities for their children than she and Montford had. She was a devout Catholic, which Montford respected, and the children were raised in the Catholic faith. She also understood Montford's peculiarities, giving her a great ability to give Montford advice and support.
Mary Elizabeth died from an infection on August 27, 1880, in Silver City, Oklahoma.
Edward Bryant Johnson
Edward Bryant "E.B." Johnson was the first son of Montford and Mary Johnson. He was born on October 1, 1863, and grew up learning about the ranching life. As a child, E.B. was bright, quickly learning to read and write, though he was more interested in ranching.
Montford insisted that his children receive a proper education, and E.B. attended various schools during his youth. Shortly after his mother's death, E.B. travelled to New York City to continue his education. During this time he was tutored in his grandfather's liquor trade and grew to abhor spirits of all kinds.
E.B. returned from New York to attend Montford's second wedding in 1883, and there he met his future wife, Mollie Graham, whom he married in 1887. After Montford's death in 1896, E.B. became guardian to his half-brothers and sisters, who were still young children. E.B. was a successful businessman and maintained the family estate for many years. E.B. died on Christmas Day 1935.
Adelaide Johnson Campbell Bond
Adelaide Johnson Campbell Bond was the older sister of Montford Johnson. Adelaide was born on Christmas Day, 1841, in Indian Territory. When she was 17, during a trip to Fort Arbuckle, Adelaide met Michael Campbell, whom she would marry.
Adelaide and Michael had three children. During the Civil War, Michael became a major in the Chickasaw Battalion stationed at nearby Fort Arbuckle. Michael was killed trying to ford the Washita River in 1864.
Adelaide later married Jim Bond, a trader and stockman, who worked with Montford in the ranching business.
Adelaide was known for her hospitality—providing food for hungry cowboys driving herds near her home on the South Canadian River.
Michael Campbell
Michael Campbell was the first husband of Adelaide Johnson. He first met Adelaide while she was visiting the Campbell family at Fort Arbuckle in 1858. They were married in the fall of 1859 and lived together with Michael's family at the fort. In 1860, they moved to their new home near the Washita River.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Michael joined the Chickasaw Battalion supporting the Confederate Army. He was a major, and spent much of his time on the march or at Fort Arbuckle, which was under Confederate control.
Michael often made the trip from the fort to spend the night at home. The trip included several crossings of the Washita River. One evening in the summer of 1864, he made the trip, but only his horse arrived home. He drowned in the river on the last crossing of his journey.
No known photograph of Michael Campbell exists.
Charles "Boggy" Johnson
Montford Johnson's father, Charles (Boggy) Johnson was born in England in 1819 and traveled to America at the young age of 19. Trained as a Shakespearean actor, he joined a small theatre company that toured the south where he married a beautiful Chickasaw woman, Rebekah Courtney.
Boggy and Rebekah established their home amongst the Chickasaw and eventually had two children, Adelaide and Montford. In 1844 Rebekah passed away of pneumonia, leaving Boggy with two young children. After the loss of his wife, Boggy made arrangements to leave the Chickasaws and move his children back east. However, Rebekah's family insisted the children stay with them. Boggy reluctantly left his children behind and traveled east alone. This would be the last contact Montford and Adelaide had with their father for more than thirty years.
Boggy was reunited with Montford and Adelaide in the summer of 1877.
In 1868, Montford Johnson sought out Jack Brown to operate a newly built headquarters for his ranch on Walnut Creek. In exchange, Montford would give every fourth calf to Jack.
Jack was married to a woman named Eliza, who worked as a cook for the Campbell family. Montford's sister had married into the Campbell family and Montford married Mary Elizabeth Campbell. Eliza later helped care for Montford and Mary Elizabeth's son, Edward Bryant. Jack remained a friend and partner of Montford until his death in 1895 at the age of seventy. He was buried at Walnut Creek where his tombstone remains today.
No known photograph of Jack Brown exists.
Granny Vicey Harmon
Vicey "Granny" Harmon was a Chickasaw woman who became a close friend and business partner of the Johnson family. Granny Vicey was a friend of Jesse Chisholm as well, and had originally planned to run his trading post. After his death, those plans ended, but Granny Vicey insisted on running a store with Montford's assistance. She joined Montford in the ranching business and took over the Council Grove Ranch near where Jesse Chisholm's trading post had been, and the ranch became known as the first permanent settlement of what would become Oklahoma City.
Jesse Chisholm
Jesse Chisholm was a pioneer and tradesman in Indian Territory, most famously known for scouting the Chisholm Trail, which is named after him. Born around 1805, he was half-Cherokee. He grew up in Arkansas until he was approximately 20 years old, at which time he left home to search for gold.
After working to help the U.S. government establish ties with the Comanche and Wichita tribes, Chisholm became one of the best known guides in Indian Territory. He helped Sam Houston establish relations with the Comanche and constantly visited First American tribes in the American southwest.
Jesse was a friend of Montford Johnson and he helped reach agreements with the First Americans living on the Chickasaw Nation's Western frontier. Without these agreements, Montford's ranching venture would have been in constant jeopardy from tribes occupying the area.
Jesse was a successful trader and operated a trading post in Indian Territory (near modern downtown Oklahoma City) until his death in 1868.

Atalanta keeps on impressing in recent weeks. Remaining on six matches without defeat, the Bergamo players have just beat widely Chievo Verona, scoring four goals in the first fifteen minutes of the game (4-1). Well placed in fifth place in Serie A, the men of Gian Piero Gasperini can still dream of competing in the next Champions League. Papu Gomez's team-mates are just one length behind AC Milan, who are on Juventus' pitch this weekend. If the task does not look simple for the Atalanta Bergamo side of Inter, the Bergamo club will do anything to make a result in the Nerazzurri. Alternating the good and the bad in recent weeks, men Luciano Spalletti could be surprised in front of their audience.
Atalanta Bergamo has not lost since six games.
Inter Milan have a comfortable lead to finish on the podium.
Atalanta Bergamo is only one length from fourth place.
Inter alternates the good and the bad in recent weeks.
In the first leg, Atalanta Bergamo won the day against Inter Milan (4-1).
Atalanta Bergamo could make a big move this weekend. Moving on the turf of Inter Milan, the men of Gian Piero Gasperini hope at least take a point to continue to return to AC Milan.


My Experience: I received a copy of the Strawberry Shortcake Fun Under the Sun DVD to Review. This adorable DVD teaches children the importance of friendship and working together. In the movie, Blueberry overhears her friend, Strawberry Shortcake talking about a tropical getaway on a breezy island. Blueberry thinks that Strawberry is planning to take her and all of her friends there! Blueberry then spreads the news and gets all of her pals excited about a trip. They later find out it was a misunderstanding; it was actually a contest that Strawberry was entering.
When Strawberry's friends find out the truth, they get together and write a beautiful song and enter it into the contest. When they hear they have won, they are excited until they find out the island has been closed until next year. To make the most of their dissapointment, they create their own 'tropical getaway' at home for evryone to enjoy.
My son, Braxton wasn't that interested in the movie, (naturally, he's a boy) but my teenage daughters thought it was cute. I personally loved it because I grew up collecting all of the adorable Strawberry Shortcake dolls when I was growing up. I think I had every one of them. My older sister still has all of hers!


Originally developed nearly 25 years ago (yes, it's that old), Java is among the most widely used and recognized programming languages in the world. From television and Blu-Ray players to Android smartphones and desktop computers, it's used virtually everywhere. According to the company's official website, more than 3 billion devices run Java, attesting to its widespread popularity.
We can't talk about the most popular programming languages without mentioning PHP. This open-source language is loaded with potential, from creating scripts and dynamic page content, to collecting form data and more. According to a study conducted by SimilarTech, PHP is the most widely used framework for building websites, with Asp.net following in a distant second.
Although it recently celebrated its 40th birthday, SQL remains a relevant coding language that's worth learning. It's classified as a special-purpose programming language, and was designed for use primarily in databases. SQL is widely used as a back-end database, offering enhanced security for data storage.
Also known simply as "Rails," Ruby on Rails is a website application framework that was first released back in 2005. However, don't let that fool you into thinking that it can only handle web applications. Much like Java, Ruby on Rails is classified as a general-purpose programming language with a vast array of uses. Some popular web apps that use the framework include Twitter, Hulu, GitHub, KickStarter, and Groupon just to name a few.
Next on our list of the top programming languages to learn is C++ (pronounced cee plus plus). This general-purpose language offers imperative, generic, and object-oriented features, making it incredibly versatile. C++ is used to create video games, applications, video editing software, operating systems, and more. If the software isn't web-based, there's a good chance it was coded in C++.
Developed by Microsoft using its .NET framework, C Sharp (C#) is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. It's designed to be clean, modern and portable, with support for software engineering principles like array bounds checking, automatic garbage collection, and strong type checking. C Sharp receives its namesake after the musical notation in which the sharp symbol is used to indicate that the respective note should have a higher pitch.
