This invention relates to the treatment of living tissue or cells with electromagnetic fields, and particularly to such treatment employing pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs).
It is well known that time-varying low-energy electric or magnetic fields produce a range of responses in biological systems. In particular, low-energy fields which are essentially athermal are increasingly used for therapeutic purposes as in the healing of fractures and ulcers, assisting bone graft incorporation, etc. The precise mechanisms of action of these low-energy fields are not well understood, but there is evidence that the responses relate to the direct effects of both magnetic and electric fields. Magnetic fields may also act through the induction of electric fields in tissue or cells, and time-varying electric fields may be imposed by induction, capacitative coupling or by use of implanted electrodes.
A variety of time-varying electromagnetic inputs (waveforms) have been studied, patented and used in practice. The widest present application is of electric field inputs to tissue induced by an asymmetrically rising and falling magnetic field as described, e.g., in the following patents:
______________________________________Patent No. Inventor Issue Date______________________________________3,893,462 Manning Jul. 8, 19754,105,017 Ryaby et al. Aug. 8, 19784,266,532 Ryaby et al. May 12, 19814,266,533 Ryaby et al. May 12, 19814,315,503 Ryaby et al. Feb. 16, 19824,683,873 Cadossi et al. Aug. 4, 1987______________________________________
The waveforms of these induced electric inputs are generally described by a quasi-rectangular or trapezoidal-shaped excursion of the electric (E) field followed either by a narrower excursion of higher amplitude in the reverse direction in the case of pulse trains or "bursts," or by a broad low-amplitude excursion in the case of some repetitive single pulses. It is also known from, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,998,532 to Griffith and 5,014,699 to Pollack, that more symmetrical pulsed fields produced, for example, by switching abruptly between positive and negative electric fields (achieved, for example, by switching the polarity of the current input to a low inductance coil to give a series of rising and falling magnetic fields in the target tissue or cell system) are also bioactive.
A characteristic of the waveforms in these cases is that abrupt changes occur in the magnitudes or directions of the electric or magnetic fields. For example, in commercial application of the waveforms described by Ryaby et al., the induced electric field rises from zero to its quasi-rectangular "positive" ongoing form or reverses sign to a higher-amplitude narrow "negative" excursion in a time interval of about one microsecond or less, as compared to pulse widths typically on the order of tens to thousands of microseconds. Correspondingly, the time derivative of the magnetic field changes sign over an interval of about one microsecond, whereas the intervals in which the sign is unchanged are typically ten or more times as long. In the work of Griffith and Pollack, the preferred pulse widths are on the order of ten microseconds, these pulses being repeated in bursts on the order of milliseconds. The reversal time for these pulses is typically one microsecond or less. Trains of pulses as in the above-referenced Ryaby et al. patents, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference, typically last for milliseconds and the pulses or pulse trains are repeated at intervals on the order of tens to thousands of milliseconds. Still, in commercially available equipment generating such pulse trains, the rise and fall times for individual pulses are abrupt, i.e., about one microsecond or less.
In some cases, the abrupt changes in the time derivative of the electric field may be associated with overshooting, which may include a damped oscillation or ringing on the order of 1 MHz, i.e., within the range of about 0.5 to 5 MHz. The frequency content of asymmetric pulse waveforms of the Ryaby et al. type, as derived by discrete Fourier Transforms, can range to 10 MHz, as described by Goodman et al. in a paper entitled "Exposure of Human Cells to Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields Results in Quantitative Changes in Transcripts," in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1009 (1989) 216-220.
We have discovered that the known biological and therapeutic stimulation by pulsing magnetic fields or by pulsing induced or direct electric fields as practiced with the application of pulses which have heretofore been configured with rapid changes in magnitude or direction of the fields can be improved significantly by modifying the configuration of these pulses to selectively reduce the higher-frequency components of the equivalent spectrum. In terms of the time domain, significant improvement in the bioefficacy of low-energy pulsed electromagnetic signals configured with waveforms ordinarily characterized by abrupt changes in magnitude or sign of the electric or magnetic field is achievable by reducing or eliminating one or more of the previously characteristic abrupt changes and providing smoother transitions to relatively flat segments or portions of the signal or waveform. "Abrupt" in this context is intended to connote time intervals of approximately 1 microsecond or less.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a noninvasive apparatus for treating living tissue and cells by means of a pulsed electromagnetic field characterized by field direction changes typically fast enough to result in substantial high-frequency content is provided with circuitry for improving bioresponse by selectively reducing the high-frequency content of the pulses.
According to another aspect of the invention, a noninvasive apparatus for treating living tissue and cells by means of a pulsed electromagnetic field, in which a treatment coil is noninvasively mounted in proximity to an afflicted body part to be treated, is provided with electronic generator circuitry coupled to the treatment coil for generating pulses having a leading edge, a trailing edge and a relatively flat segment therebetween, the pulses characterized by a smooth transition on at least one of the edges immediately adjacent the relatively flat segment.
It is a general object of the present invention to provide improved bioresponse by selective spectral suppression in a PEMF signal.
A further object is to make presently known and used signals more effective by modifying them to create one or more smoother transitions between desired signal levels.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent upon reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates tile magnetic field waveform according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates the induced electric field waveform according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of a basic form of an induced electric field signal (without smoothing) in a low frequency range.
FIG. 4 illustrates the FFT of the induced electric field signal of FIG, 2 in a low frequency range.
FIG. 5 illustrates the FFT of a basic form of an induced electric field signal (without smoothing) in a high frequency range.
FIG. 6 illustrates the FFT of the induced electric field signal of FIG. 2 in a high frequency range.
FIG. 7 is an electrical schematic of a pulse generator according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 8 is an electrical schematic of the regulator/monitor shown in FIG. 7.
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates, for example, in the use of signal forms as herein described delivered by capacitative or implanted electrodes.
FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the magnetic (M) field waveform and corresponding induced electric (E) field waveform, respectively, for a stimulatory waveform for use in bone and tissue healing according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The waveform of FIG. 2 represents the electric field, as would be measured with a suitable inductive pickup, which is produced by induction from the magnetic field of FIG. 1 passing through the tissue or cells. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the relationship between the waveforms of FIGS. 1 and 2 are readily related in that the induced electric field is directly proportional to the time derivative of the magnetic field. FIG. 2 also corresponds to the waveform of the voltage across the treatment coil driven by the preferred embodiment of a signal generator according to the present invention, which will be described with reference to FIG. 7. The principles of tile invention will apply equally to single repetitive pulses or to pulse trains as described in the above-referenced Ryaby et al. patents, and it is to be understood that FIGS. 1 and 2 represent a portion of a pulse burst sufficient to show the details of an individual pulse as well as the transition between pulses in the pulse burst.
It has been found that the bioresponse of PEMF signals is sharply improved when the rise and fall times in the electric field are lengthened, and, in particular, when the amplitude changes are made less abrupt by rounding the profile of the pulses. An example of such rounding is shown in FIG. 2, particularly in the approximately exponential shape of leading edge 1 of an individual pulse having a relatively flat top segment 2 and a trailing edge 3, the pulse having a smooth transition 4 from leading edge 1 to the relatively flat top segment 2 as shown in the drawing. The rounding will usually be associated with some increase in the rise and fall times, as is also shown in FIG. 2, in which the time interval from time t1 to time t2, when the E field signal crosses zero, is 25 microseconds, and the time to reach the signal maximum from t1 is about 30 microseconds, with the signal generator and treatment coil to be described with reference to FIG. 7. The corresponding fall time, i.e., the interval from t3 to t1, is 5 microseconds. Most preferably, the leading edge is continuously smooth for the entire interval from t1 to the signal maximum, and the trailing edge is continuously smooth for the entire interval from t3 to t1. That is, there is no discontinuity in the signal or abrupt portion associated with either edge.
The circuitry to be described produces the desired rounding while maintaining the amplitude of the signal over most of its relatively flat top segment 2, whereas the negative amplitudes of pulse trains of the Ryaby et al. type after smoothing will usually not be as high. In the case of certain single repetitive pulses as described in the Ryaby et al. patents, in which relatively shallow, long negative excursions are effective, the positive and negative amplitudes of the electric field are readily maintained over most of the relevant excursion periods, and the changes in the overall waveform constitute primarily an extension of the rise and fall times and a rounding of the terminal portion of the rising and trailing edges. It is to be understood that "positive" and "negative" as well as terms such as "rise" and "fall" time are intended as relative terms for reference purposes in the description of pulse portions of opposite polarity with respect to a reference potential level. It is contemplated that similar rounding and extension of the edges of sharp square-wave pulses such as taught by Griffith and Pollack et al. will similarly result in improved bioresponse. Rectangular pulses, quasi-rectangular pulses, and trapezoidal pulses, among others, are all considered to have a relatively flat top segment in the context of this invention, and improved bioresponse would be anticipated upon appropriate rounding of the profiles of such pulses in accordance with the teachings of this invention.
The equivalent frequency-domain representation of the time-varying signal of FIG. 2 is shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, and, for comparison purposes, a basic form (without rounding) of an induced electric field signal in the frequency domain is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5, the basic form being characterized by abrupt changes in amplitude over about one microsecond at the leading and trailing edges of the pulses. The Fast Fourier Transforms of FIGS. 3-6 were all obtained from a pulse train signal having a pulse period of approximately 260 microseconds, approximately 230 microseconds of which is the positive pulse portion, a burst width of approximately 30 milliseconds, and a burst repetition rate of 1.5 Hz. FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate clearly that the frequency spectra are equivalent for frequencies below 3 kHz, while FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate clearly the great difference that exists between the spectra in the high frequency range extending up to 500 kHz (denoted as 5E5 in the drawings). As can be appreciated from FIGS. 5 and 6, frequency components above 50 kHz and particularly above 200 kHz are selectively reduced by the circuitry according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The frequency spectra of other signals presently used also include a large number of equivalent spectral lines including higher frequency components in the range of 50 kHz 5 MHz corresponding to tile abrupt edges, ramps, overshoot and ringing in those signals, and it is believed that the effectiveness of all such signals can be improved by selective reduction of component frequencies as described above.
Referring now to FIG. 7, a pulse generator capable of producing such improved bioresponse and, in particular, capable of producing the signals shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, will be described. The timing and pulse width of the individual pulses in each pulse train as well as the burst width and burst repetition rate are controlled by a microprocessor 10 which is appropriately programmed for such purposes in a manner well known to those skilled in the art. Further description of control units for control of such parameters, as well as circuitry designed to accommodate changes in pulse width and repetition rate, for example, in the course of a given body treatment according to a predetermined pattern or program of variation, may be found in the above-referenced U.S. Pat. No. 4,315,503 to Ryaby et al., and such descriptions in particular are hereby incorporated by reference along with the entirety of said patent. Microprocessor 10 generates a drive signal for the treatment coil 12, the drive signal as supplied by the microprocessor taking the form of bursts of individual square-wave pulses. In the drive signal corresponding to the signals of FIGS. 1 and 2, each has a pulse width of approximately 230 microseconds, followed by a 30-microsecond interval prior to the next pulse, and the pulses are supplied in 30-millisecond bursts at a repetition rate of 1.5 Hz.
The microprocessor supplies the drive signal through driver amplifier 14 to a signal shaping circuit built around a transistor 16 and including resistors 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26 and capacitors 28, 30 and 32 interconnected as shown in the drawing. Resistors 18, 20 and 22 and capacitor 28 form a negative voltage shunt feedback loop to control the signal negative amplitude. Resistor 20 is a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) device which compensates for VBE temperature variations in transistor 16. Capacitor 30 and resistor 24 control the trailing edge slope of the signal, while capacitor 32 and resistor 26 control the leading edge slope. The waveform of FIG. 2 corresponds to the component values shown in FIG. 7, with a treatment coil with an inductance of about 500 millihenries. One such treatment coil is the FLX-2 coil, and, for different applications, one may employ other coils in the FLX family line, all commercially available from Electro-Biology, Inc. Other values of treatment coil inductance are disclosed in the above-referenced Ryaby et al. patents incorporated herein by reference.
A regulated voltage level of approximately 1 volt DC is established by a regulator/monitor circuit 34, one output of which is connected to treatment coil 12 via line 36. Regulator/monitor 34 also has a pair of output lines 38 to the microprocessor for monitoring purposes to be described.
Regulator/monitor 34, as shown in further detail in FIG. 8, includes an integrated circuit (IC) 50 which, in conjunction with diode 52 and inductor 54, forms a stepdown switching regulator. Battery power (+12 volts DC) is applied through current-limiting resistor 56 and filter capacitor 58 to pin 6 of IC 50, which is preferably a MAX638 IC commercially available from Maxim Integrated Products. The output voltage is raised from 1.0 volt to 2.25 volts by resistor 60 and diode 62 in order to match the internal comparator 1.31 volt reference of IC 50. Resistor 64 and resistor 66 form an external voltage divider to set the output voltage to 1.0 VDC on output filter capacitor 68 and output line 36 to the coil. Resistors 70 and 72 form a voltage reference on the device low battery input (LBI) pin 3. If the battery voltage exceeds the threshold set by this resistor divider, an overvoltage condition is set by the device low battery output (LBO) pin 2 and resistor 74. This overvoltage signal is returned to the microprocessor on one of the lines 38 previously mentioned.
Regulator/monitor circuit 34 also includes an alarm circuit the purpose of which is to monitor and control the field strength of the signal in the treatment coil. Basic signal parameters are established by IC 50 providing a constant voltage level of 1 VDC, as previously described, to drive the treatment coil for a duration controlled by transistor 16 in the pulse-shaping circuit shown in FIG. 7.
Variations of the treatment coil inductance are monitored by current-sensing resistor 78. As the current in the treatment coil increases due to an inductance decrease, the charge on capacitor 80 will increase during tile pulse burst. After the pulse burst, the time required for capacitor 80 to discharge through resistor 82 to the reference voltage established by resistors 84 and 86 and capacitor 88 is detected by the microprocessor through a comparator 90. The microprocessor counts its internal fixed-rate pulses during this time period and displays an error message if the number of counts exceeds the internal limits set for each coil type.
In addition to the methods already described for increasing the required time constant to round or smooth the abrupt edges, the inductance of the treatment coil may be increased or, in the case of a capacitively coupled electric signal, series resistance can be added to increase tile time constant to, e.g., 5 milliseconds. Alternatively, resonant circuits using series/parallel arrangements of resistors, inductors and capacitors, including the values for the primary delivery element for the desired localized field, i.e., the coil or capacitor placed at the treatment site or used to stimulate tissue cultures, etc., may be employed.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive in character, it being understood that only the preferred embodiment has been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention are desired to be protected.

I should have put this under tourist traps because that is exactly what it is.
The food is of shoddy quality and highly overpriced.
The only positive is that is looks nice inside, and is in prime people watching spot. Your best bet would be to go there and get a bottle of wine and soak in the atmosphere of Pelourinho.
Favorite Dish: I had some "steak" in sauce. I swear it was a burger. I wasn't best pleased. that trash cost me about 40 reais.Related to:

Panela da Bahia: Don't miss the moqueca de camarao com banana
The food is fantastic. The moqueca is the best I have tasted in Salvador. The moqueca with banana in it is especially good because the banana's sweetness acts as a counterpoint to the savory nature of the moqueca. Also, the vinagrete de polvo is tasty. The restaurant is small and cozy, and the service is attentive. There are also African dishes available.
Favorite Dish: Moqueca de camarao com banana is the tastiest dish I have had in Salvador Bar none. A good moqueca should not be watery. This one is thick, and delicious.Related to:

Cabana da Celly: Trying a lot of sea food at same time
The place is very simple and the prices are good. I was there with more 3 foreigners friends, eat and drink for R$ 80,00. In other words, was about R$ 20,00 for each one have an idea of our diversity food! Here, are the things that we have tried!
1) To drink? Well try something else then Caipirinha! We had the caipiroskas - vodka with season's fruit. We asked: Caju-roska, kiwi-roska, abacaxi-roska and a maracuja-roska.
2) To eat? First ask for a CALDO DE POLVO (octopus) and CALDO DE SURURU (a muscle). Caldo is a kind of a soap.
3) Now, ask a LAMBRETA, another muscle that comes inside a shell with lot of onion. Remember to try the caldinho (the sauce that comes together in a glass!), very strong!!
4) Well, you have to try the CARANGUEIJO (crab). We asked a PORÇÃO DE 5 (05 crabs) that comes with the PIRÃO. Use the wood hammer just to open the biggest "leg". NEVER, but NEVER use the hammer in the head, heheeh... Be patient, see it as an adventure! As much work you have to eat it, as much delicious it will be... Ah, remember to go with a cloth that can be dirty. It will be a mess!
5) After torturing fingers and mouth, I suggested something soft: AIMPIM FRITO, our version for fried potatoes...
6) Unfortunately they didn't have a typical dessert, so we decided to have it in other place. But this is another story...
Ah, one more thing: If you have kids, there is a kind of little park for them play while you are eating...
Favorite Dish: If do you still hungry after all this, try a moqueca de camarão (shrimp), hmmm...Related to:

Kebab Tropical: Place to avoid!
We (five persons, three native portuguese speakers) were really disappointed! Add said they serve Mediterranean dishes, Italian pizza, pasta etc. Prices were above average and service was arrogant. We ordered chicken breast, pasta with 4 cheeses and two big pizzas. We told the waitor three times that we want the pizzas without oregano because two of us are allergic to it. The waiter didn't seem very interested anyway so here's what we got: two pizzas with oregano, beef stake and the pasta with four cheeses. We told the waiter that this was not what we had ordered but he stubbornly insisted that this he had written down in his pad. This was really " once in a life-time" experience in the worst sense.
The pizzas were as bad as the service. They were American-style panpizzas, probably pre-baked. You can buy better deep-frozen pizzas from the supermarket.
You'll get better value for your money at the Barra Shopping's fast-food section, try Yan Pin's!
Favorite Dish: The only descent dish was the beef, which we did not order.
Fat Jim's: American-Style Food
If you are worried about or just tired of Brazilian food, you should try Fat Jim's sandwich shop. It is a little bistro with outdoor seating that specializes in American-type sandwiches. It is owned and run by an American. The crab cake sandwich tastes good but you can also get stuff like shrimp salad and cheese steak subs. The food is good and inexpensive. The owner and can speak English and Portuguese. He will be happy to give you tourist tips about Salvador. It is in a nice part of town and is only a block from the beach.
Favorite Dish: My favorite dish is the crab cake sandwich. The owner is from Maryland where crab cakes are very popular. Since he can't get the spices in Salvador that go into the crab cakes, he has them sent down from America. I doubt that this dish can be dupicated in any other resturant in Salvador.Related to:

Sucos: Excellent Selection of Tropical Fruit Blends
Brazil is one of those countries where tropical fruit is in abundance. Local markets are usually the place where you find the greatest selection of fruit from the area which may vary as to the region. Mango, papaya, pineapple, bananas, coconut, passion fruit, guava, cashew, melon and watermelon you can get nearly everywhere. Still the most exotic fruit comes from the Amazon region. Ah, I just never had enough of acai, cupuacu, bacuri, murici and graviola.
To get your daily dose of vitamins you can instead go to the near juice bar. You can find them in all bigger Brazilian cities.
It was a Saturday towards noon and I was strolling the streets of Barra with Lidija. After the long Friday night we were just in need of some vitamins. She liked Sucos and used to go there quite often. So she suggested we could have a breakfast there.
Favorite Dish: What a difficult decision among so many different fruit and mixtures, the choice was really endless. After a long consideration we took one cupuacu and one selected tropical fruit blend, both of them with the addition of guarana and crunchy cereals. They were absolutely delicious!!! and besides, an excellent energy supply :))
The good thing about Sucos is that they even offer home delivery 24 hours a day.Related to:

Point do Guarana da Amazonia: A Taste of the Amazon
You find this little place on the main street of Barra that leads to Pelourinho. It only has a couple of tables and people from the beach or passersby usually come for the bowl of tasty dish from the Amazon region.
As far as I know, this is the only place in Salvador where you can taste the culinary delights from the northern state of Para, which I found the most delicious (and unusual) in the whole country. They get the ingredients for the dishes from Ilha de Marajo. Since I was just coming from this beautiful island, I was happy to talk to the friendly owner about her native land.
Favorite Dish: It's the most famous acai spot of Salvador. You can get it in a bowl of different size. They also have guarana and juice, ice cream made from variety of fruits of the Amazon, like acai, cupuacu (certainly my favourite!), bacuri and muruci. If you are lucky, you can also get cupuacu cake and this is very yummy too! From the main dishes they offer tacaca (the absolute winner!!) and manicoba.
I don't need to mention that I took every opportunity to visit this place:)Related to:

Sorveteria da Ribeira: The Best Ice Cream in the City
It has been considered the best ice cream in the city for more than 70 years. People come even from Itapoa to another point of the city to taste a great variety of flavours, from nuts and chocolate to all imaginable fruits from the Amazon region. They have a reputation for the ice cream being made from natural fruit.
A beautiful view of the sea of Ribeira and the low price bring the visitors back. About 800 people come daily on weekends.
It's open daily from 10am to 10:30pm.
Favorite Dish: They offer 52 sorts of ice creams and a lot of them launched themselves. Some of their specialities are the flavours of mangaba, jaca, carambola and tapioca.
My favourites were tapioca and cupuacu. Ah, yummy!!!Related to:
- Food and Dining
CASA DA GAMBOA: Bahian Elegance
One of the most elegant restaurants in Pelourinho, Casa da Gamboá serves up a Bahian "nouvelle cuisine." The classic Bahian dishes such as bobó de camarão are still on the menu, but the kitchen has gone beyond to create some fabulous modern fare. The camarão ao molho de manga is a tropical explosion of flavor; big juicy prawns are flamed in cognac and served with large pieces of mango in a creamy mango sauce. The elegant peixe tropical, or catch of the day, is grilled in a clove, cinnamon, and fruit sauce. Open from 12:00hrs to 23:00hrsRelated to:

Ócio do Ofício: Big group dining
This place is ideal to go to in a big group. They have long narrow tables outside. It was here that I first tasted a kiwiroska (crushed kiwi fruit, sugar and vodka) and boy did I get addicted!
The prices were reasonable and with a group of 8 people we paid out roughly 15 reias a head.
Favorite Dish: The food is good, I especially liked the barbequed cheese (coalho quejo) that was done with tomato jam and oregano. I also had grilled steak, cassava, fries, cheese balls and abara. It was all great apart freom the abara. Whatever you do give that a miss, it's too bland!Related to:

Portal Do Mar: Seafood, Steak... Brazilian Style
From the outside you could easily miss this gem.
It is very simple and understated.
On the inside there are firm wooden chairs and tables, nothing gives it that "fancy" edge that I tend to find myself attracted too.
I was suprised at how good the food was, as well as the service
Favorite Dish: Steak skewer with sides of Farofa, rice and salad with pimenta
Fried fish is excellent and succulent. You can ask for it to be halfed so you only have to pay half the cost. The steak sker was 34 Reias with the sides and the fish was 28, half was 14 and way more than enough for one person.
Barra Burguer: Hot Dog Duplo
This Burger place is in Porto Barra on Sete de Setembro. You cannot miss it. It is on the main road and has bright blue and yellow signing. there are burgers for every need. Stuff that you don't even normally get in burgers like sweetcorn and peppers.
They also do hotdogs.
Favorite Dish: I like the bacon cheese eggburger. I guess that explains itsself.
They have meal deals for between 5-7 Reais where you get a fruit juice (smoothie) with your burger. Lots of fruits to choose from... pineapple, apple, cherry, passionfruit, mango, banana...
The great thing about this place is that it is open late, so when you are stavin' Marvin and in need of food you can always go to Barra Burguer! I think it stays open until about 2am.Related to:

Web Letter
This is an excellent article! While I am not religious, no one can study history without realizing religion's importance in human history. In his book John Wildman Plotter and Postmaster, Maurice Ashley noted, "The great forward impulse to liberal political ideas came from religious minorities." It is no accident that the First part of the First Amendment forbids Congress from making any law with regard to religion or preventing its free exercise. Wildman was a member of the "Leveller Movement" in England during the early seventeenth century, which pushed for religious tolerance in Great Britain. Many of their arguments would be used to justify the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They would also have some influence on French political thought. The Quakers emerged from their ranks.
While I am sure that the Enlightenment had influenced many of the better-educated "founding fathers," I believe the majority of ordinary people, at that time, would be more influenced by arguments they heard within their often very different churches. I suspect there was more of a bottom-up push from religious minorities, as well as an intellectual top-down influence from the Enlightenment. Since we have protected religion from the excesses of government, it is therefore secular. However I believe, in our variety, the US is a very religious country.
I was rather amused by the arguments regarding the cutting off of trade with the Islamic world bringing about development in northern Europe. I ran across a similar event studying Brazilian colonial history in college. I remarked in some paper or exam that it accidentally proved Alexander Hamilton's position on tariffs as being necessary for national development. Free Trade was regarded as idiocy when I was in college. I still agree with that analysis. Again, a very interesting review! Also, I cannot recall any general European or world history books that did not admire Arab culture in southern Spain.

In that position, the perfect move would have been a accepted draw offer 49 moves ago
Another option: 1300 could randomly choose his next move and so with probability around 1/20^60 he will play the best move every time-and he will win or at least draw the game.
No, a 1300 does not play randomly, he very deliberately plays bad moves because he thinks they're good.
In a game with 1300 ranked player with 2700 ranked player; worry is to be done by 2700 ranked player, other wise it shall be most entertaining game, as result is known to both sides, before start of game.
Again pellik, it's just one assumption against another.
I just know, from my experience from playing people much weaker than me (indeed, even people around 1300 once in a while), that you sometimes get into these closed-ish or symmetrical-ish positions where, although you want your opponent to just give you an obvious blunder, the nature of the position forces you to take a more grinding approach. Remember that, of course, as good as a great player is, all they can do is try to provoke a mistake, and exploit it. If the position doesn't give many opportunities like that, it won't necessarily happen like magic.
Also, I totally agree that what you describe is the most common way a GM would make a blunder; however, I would not go the extra step and say that any other circumstances in which a GM would make a blunder are absolutely nonexistent. Sometimes you're trying to attack on the kingside, play Qg4, and forget about that queen on a4 black had that's covering it. It's simply temporary blindness that anyone is capable of.
Games like Stripunsky-Onischuk, or even Petrosian-Bronstein, seemed to be, essentially, unprovoked blindness. In fact, in the Petrosian game, Petrosian had a fantastic position as white, and was grinding his opponent in the usual fashion. However, he simply forgot that the knight was controlling d6 (I think the queen was hung on d6), and in fact, when you look at it, it is sort of tricky in a way -- sometimes your eyes play tricks like that on you, especially if you're in the mindset that your position is "too dominating" for one of your pieces to actually be attacked.
The problem is that 1300 could not recognize or exploit such blunders by 2700s if they happened. And neither example you site is even a 2700 player at the time.
That's the problem? Well, I think he could, if they were simple enough!
Of course, I know that there is often this psychological energy where the weaker player feels like his opponent can't blunder, so when that person does blunder the weaker player gets nowhere near realizing it was a mistake, but I don't think that will apply 100% of the time.
I think it's at least as tough of an assumption that a 1300 won't see that simple blunder purely due to this psychological effect than the assumption that once in a while, this effect might not work.
No more infinite monkey discussion? Nobody wants to discuss whether an elephant would win a fight against an ant 100% of the time? Come on guys!
Would an elephant sized ant beat an elephant in a fight?
Would an ant sized elephant beat an ant in a fight?
Yes to the first, no to the second.
Looks like pound for pound the ant wins eh.
Actually an elephant sized ant couldn't exist - it would asphyxiate itself.
Elephant sized ants are suicidal, TIL.
It also wouldn't be able to move.
Yes, an inconvenient side effect of being dead.
Ok then, how about an elephant vs a swarm of ants with total ant mass equal to one elephant mass.
Google calculations give me ~1.5 million ants.
"Giant ants were the terror of the movie Them! (1954). Rajesh and Howard realize giant ants would be a cool new method of transportation. But Sheldon Cooper is right: unfortunately physics determines that giant ants cannot exist on our planet as we know it."
Spock made a brief appearance in the movie. If giant ants aren't possible, they must have shrunk the people.
An elephant is not much the fighting animal... it probably wouldn't recognize the danger in time.
also, 1.5 million ants are way more flexible than an elephant! There are just so many ways they can split and swarm... how will he block 10,000 of them coming up his nostril? while 20,000 more are busy tickling an armpit, 5000 busy bothering the end of his digestive canal, and 15,000 more crawling up an ear? This could drive anyone crazy!
Piece value in chess: 9 for a queen, 10 for a couple rooks, 12 for four minor pieces - in total, 31 pawns.
Now, how would a setup of King + usual pieces, standing on their first line, fare against an array of King + 31 pawns where the black king stands on e8 and the pawns occupy the whole of the 7th, 6th, 5th and 4th ranks except for, say, d4?
I remind you that each pawn can make a double jump on its first move!! Monstrous indeed :-)
I'd take that against a 2700 player any day of the week - hey! Material is even and he even gets white :-) he should be happy (true that I'm no 1300, but I promise to patzer him a couple pawns at some point...)
I meant that their legs would break from the weight.
only if the 2700 player intentionally loses otherwise odds are the same as a snowball in hell.
And those odds would be...?

There's a battle brewing between the two Americas, a war that's bubbling up on message boards and in our holy places of commerce. It's a percolating struggle which pits a rag-tag band of die-hards who claim to believe in original intent against a system looking to profit from unsophisticated conformity. The antagonists? Starbucks Corp. and a dissatisfied group of customers who bemoan the introduction of Pike's Place, a less complex (i.e., not bitter as shit) roast, as the company's main drip blend.
The Wall Street Journal reports from the front lines:

I have JM Argan Oil and I love it. Oddly one of my two cats comes running every time I bring it out and wants to lick and rub all over my hands after I use it. I've tried to look it up on line to see if this is one of the oils that is harmful to cats, but don't find anything about is specifically. Anyone out there have any idea? Most other lotions and potions send my cats running to the far corners of the room...odd.
None of my cats have an affinity for Argan oil, but one seems to like shea butter (always smells my hands or face, then licks me!). I had a cat who loved Ben-gay (yes, you read that right)...he would go bonkers over the scent of that stuff. He would drool, rub & basically molest you if you had it on your person! Crazy. Another cat loved Doritos - he knew where we kept the bag & would open the cupboard & attempt to help himself to a few. When we'd eat them, he would whack your hand to give him one.
I don't know if Argan oil would harm a cat - but to be on the safe side, ask a vet.
Thanks for sharing! Gotta love those cats and their odd attractants! Happy New Year!
Ben gay? You gotta love cats! They know what they like!
My kitty is curious about everything, so I usually let her have a look/smell at whatever I'm doing.
Well, when I showed her my new jar of STO Shea Butter, she took a huge lick of it!!! And then I had to fight her off - she wanted more!!! LOL! Love the kittycat!
I don't know about argan oil - perhaps the CS at ZamouriSpices.com could help you. They carry the culinary argan oil.

World of Warcraft: Premonition Gets World First Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
Worlds firsts are odd things, most of the time itÂs a way for guilds to show off or for someone to get their fifteen minutes of fame. Sometimes though theyÂre that little bit extra special, especially when World of Warcraft is concerned.
Siiz and his guild Premonition has been working on acquiring Dragonwrath, TarecgosaÂs Rest, the uber legendary that every caster really, really wants. Oh and heÂs got it . Yes Siiz is currently the only person on the planet to own this sweet staff. The best part is now itÂs on live servers, we can clarify not only the stats but also the perks. Yes, not only is it an amazingly powerful staff, it comes with a little extra sweetness: you get the ability to turn into a blue dragon  with horns.
However, unlike the Vial of Shifting Sands, you canÂt carry anyone on your back. The proud ownerÂs guildies also get a rather awesome mini pet. Yes itÂs pretty uber and if you donÂt already have it, this should give you even more inclination to sink plenty of money and time into getting one of your very own.

After removing the crisper and meat drawers, then the glass shelf, removal of the broken end cap was fairly simple and straight forward. I removed 2 hex headed screws with a nut driver. Next I removed the temp control linkage from the old end cap, reinstalled it onto the new end cap and remounted to the refrigerator and that was that. The most impressive part was how rediculously fast the shipping was for the part itself!! I ordered on a Thursday evening and it was on my porch Saturday morning!

Initially I was not happy that you have to start off with a deposit at this site from the start. I was under the impression that this was a no deposit bonus site and so I was unpleasantly surprised when I was forced to deposit prior to playing. I did, however, get past this and move on to trying out their slots. I was actually impressed with them. Some of their slots offer up to 300 free spins. They don't really have a huge selection of game though. Yes, they have slots, table games and the works but as far as each category individually, the choices are somewhat lacking. They've got the traditional games your used to playing and that pay well so there definitely are some positive aspects. I also had a couple of run-ins with the support team and they actually were able to do a decent job solving issues and staying friendly while doing it. If you don't mind a smaller gaming selection and depositing right off the bat, this site can be decent.
Usually the first thing you see when you get to a new casino website is the page design. This one looks professional and I believe it attracts mostly serious gamblers. As a site that is operating over 10 years now, and a large base of players, I guess they now how to roll things, so I decided to see what they offer.
No US players in, just to note, and you have to use Euros or US Dollars, through a nice number of payment options. Good news if you use Moneybookers, you get $10 for free if you deposit that way.
I really like the fact that online casino interface is available in four languages (English, French, Spanish and Italian), so you're likely to meet people from all around the world.
Your first deposit (minimum of $25) is rewarded with a 100% bonus (up to $250), with wagering requirement being somewhat high (25 times Bonus and what deposit).
@Lootva Yes I definitely agree with you that the site looks professional. That's what attracted me mostly. For the very first time I received 2 free spins offer from them but was disappointed because both of them required deposit afterwards, it said I can keep the winnings so ok I thought I really can, but it was meant to be added to my balance after a succesful deposit and then wagering it all together. I didnt like the deal and decided not to put my own money. Anyways casino seems to be a fine place to win some money.
this casino is average in my opinion, some of their games are looking old and dusty and if I may say 'cheap' mainly the games for the free spins promotion.
I saw one game that kinda mix of lara croft and indiana jones ( a big no )
the winnings from the free spins could only be claimed if you make a deposit...say what? yeah that bad!
I never made a deposit here and I think I never will.
I cant undersand, why you are saying that its free spins no deposite bonus. There is sayed that you need deposite to get wining fro free spins. You cant even start vager before you have not made deposite. I registered and that was my problem .
So i will not play there anymore. Poor promotiion, 3 stars.
I am a member here, I won off the free spins but never deposited to collect them, I have still not deposited. I think it is because I have won off no deposit bonuses in other casinos, deposited $20 and collected my $100 - $125, so this offer from Yachting casino, which I won $10 off the free spins, just did not do it for me, it was not a
WOW! I won, so I never deposited to collect the $10, it was not worth it to me, I have other casinos that I won much more off of and all I needed to do to get my $100 or $125 was to deposit $20 and they sent me the winnings from the freechip.
I let this casino go, it is a nice looking casino but I cannot play at all the casinos or bingo halls so I let some go, this is one of them.
Yachting casino has one problem. This problem is 30 free spin NO DEPOSIT promotion. I registered and got 30 free spins in stupidest and ugliest slot machine in internet casino. Then I need a deposit to get this wining amount of free spins. I will never play there again.

200 Moms And Kids Launch A "Play-in" Protest On Capitol Hill For Climate Action
Their Message to Congress: "Use Your Power to Clean up our Power"
WASHINGTON, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — More than 200 moms and their kids are holding a unique "Play-in for Climate Action," on Capitol Hill today, a family-friendly protest against the air pollution causing dangerous climate change. The event features children at play, a press conference joined by U.S. Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-CA., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI., and a march to deliver a message from families across America: "Use your power to clean up our power."
The "play-in" is a spin on the traditional "sit-in" for a new generation; moms know children can't sit still. Organizers are urging members of Congress to support the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan announced in June. The plan proposes the first-ever limits on carbon pollution from existing power plants, the biggest source of climate-changing pollution in the U.S.
"Air pollution isn't just unhealthy to breathe-it is causing global warming and that is threatening our children now. That's why moms want to see meaningful action on climate," said Dominique Browning, Moms Clean Air Force co-founder and senior director. "Members of Congress, many of whom are moms and dads themselves, need to see the faces of the children who suffer most as we fail to address the growing climate crisis. Families from all corners of America agree: It's time to get serious about climate change."
"As nurses, we're on the front-lines seeing kids and families already being impacted by climate change," said Katie Huffling, RN, CNM, director of programs for the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments. "Children are especially vulnerable to the negative health impacts from climate change and if we don't take action now we're going to see more kids suffering with asthma and other respiratory issues. The Alliance supports the new Clean Power Rule and is asking Congress to do the same. The health of our children and future generations is at stake."
"Carbon pollution from power plants is fueling the climate change putting our kids and communities in harm's way," said Lisa Hoyos, director of Climate Parents. She added, "Members of Congress must act to ensure America's kids get a carbon rule that keeps them safe."
The "play-in" is organized by a number of parent-activist groups. They include: Moms Clean Air Force, the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, Climate Parents, Healthy Child Healthy World and The Mothers Project United for Sustainability.
They are gathering in the Upper Senate Park at 10 a.m., playing with their kids, speaking out publicly and then delivering hand-written messages from children to more than 40 Senate offices.
"We have come together to show that families nationwide are united in support of the EPA's Clean Power Plan to cut carbon pollution," said Moms Clean Air Force National Field Manager Gretchen Dahlkemper Alfonso, a Pennsylvania mom. "We also hope to offer a counterpoint to some in Congress who seek to undermine the EPA's work and solutions to climate change."
"As a mother of two toddlers, I realized that creating a smaller carbon footprint at home is not enough," said Heather Clark, a Virginia mom and principal of the Biome Studio. "I am deeply concerned about what the world will look like in 2045 when my children are my age and having children of their own. Climate change threatens our food supply, our homes, our safety, and most importantly, the health of our children. That's why we must act now."

NGO, DepEd hope to eliminate illiteracy in ARMM by 2016
More News from Charlie C. Señase
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
COTABATO CITY, Philippines—A Bangladesh-inspired organization out to sow peace and development in poor and strife-torn communities vowed to resolve the illiteracy problem hounding the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao for decades.
"By 2016, we expect to have reduced, if not completely solved, the problem of a lack of basic education for children whose families have been displaced by the armed conflict, with the help of the Philippine Government's education department," said Nazrul Islam, country representative of the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC).
Founded in 1972, BRAC is a non-government organization currently at work in 10 developing countries, including ARMM in the Philippines.
Islam said that from being a "small relief and rehabilitation group," BRAC's 40 years of humanitarian mission has transformed to become "the largest and one of the most successful development organizations in the world."
Funded by the Australian Government through its Agency for International Development, BRAC's partnership with the Department of Education has introduced the launching in 2012 of the Alternative Delivery Model (ADM), a five-year project with a $30-million initial AusAID-funding for three years, under the Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao (BEAM-ARMM), said Ramon Bobier, project management consultant.
The project, according to Bobier, has established a total of 400 pre-school buildings in ARMM provinces, such as Maguindanao, 110; Lanao del Sur, 200; and Tawi-Tawi, 47.
"Some structures are under negotiation in time for the June school opening," he said.
"The ADM approach is gaining headway because village officials in far-flung communities have the prerogative to choose native mentors that have to adopt with the DepEd-BEAM module of instruction," Bobier said.
Islam said that by next year children of poor families in Basilan and Sulu would benefit from the project as BRAC would branch out to these occasionally troubled areas.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front, an armed insurgent group that has been working to strike a final peace deal with the Philippine government, has endorsed the literacy partnership program.
"We will see to it that the project succeeds by ensuring the peace and safety of school children and the community from saboteurs," said Ghadzali Jaafar, MILF political affairs vice chair.
Bobier said the 2012-2013 school year would see the graduation of 12,000 kids in the region from the "catch-up approach of quality education that is attuned to existing culture and practices."
In the scheduled BRAC's first anniversary celebration in ARMM on Feb. 27, key government and foreign dignitaries are expected to grace the event, notably Bangladesh and Australian envoys to the Philippines – John Gomes and Bill Tweddell, respectively.
Even BRAC-founding chair Sir Fazle Hasan Abed is set to be welcomed by ARMM Acting Gov. Mujiv Hataman and Dep-Ed Regional Secretary Jamar Kulayan at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center here, the venue of the celebration.

The MMA rendered Redemption, a western classical composition by Indian composers
Western classical music weaves its best stories during Lent, Passiontide and Easter. It has been for many years a tradition with the Madras Musical Association to sing during Lent arias, cantatas and choruses by composers such as Bach and Stainer. Bach's lyrical and romantic St. Mathew's Passion recalls Christ's last mortal week with fervour while Stainer's Crucifixion invites the listener to pause and reflect on the mystery of redemption.
For the first time this year, the MMA choir chose to sing a western classical composition by Indian composers, Richard J. Singh and Dr. Mathuram Santosham. Redemption, was composed by the Trivandrum-born engineer, Singh and the Madras-based doctor and Member of Parliament, Santosham in 1963. Since then it has been part of the Lenten repertoire in many churches in Chennai. To celebrate the birth centenary of Dr. Santosham the MMA performed the cantata with a choir of 100 voices. It also marked the occasion with the release of a CD Choruses by Masters by Haricharan Dass, chairman of Musee Musical.
The singing of the Passion on Good Friday is a tradition that harks back to the Middle Ages. Through the centuries the telling has moved from pure narrative to music to enactment and the MMA choir opened the stage with Stainer's 'God So Loved the World'. All four voices — sopranos, altos, tenors and basses — delivered a pitch-perfect rendition with no musical accompaniment that sounded fascinating in the dry acoustic ambience of the Museum Theatre.
With Augustine Paul wielding the baton, Edwin Roy at the piano and Joshua Daniel on the keyboard Redemption opened with two soloists, Sunny Abraham and Pallavi Raj, taking centrestage. Pallavi's bell-like voice melded with Sunny's rich tenor to tell the story of God's promise. Following this was the rich instrumental 'Triumphant March' that held a mirror to Roy's pianism which has only matured and delighted over the years.
Sangita Santosham sang the part of the narrator through the scenes at the garden of Gethsemane, the hall of judgment, the march to Calvary, the meeting of Jesus with his mother and the women of Jerusalem, the seven words of Christ on the cross, his death and resurrection, with clarity and balance of tenor and often with pathos and feeling. Arpith Siromoney sang the part of Jesus, his rich bass rendering with remarkable tensile strength the anguish of Christ in his last days. The other soloists — Harshita Krishnan, Alfred Venkatarangam, Mhathung Odyuo, Ebenezer Arunkumar, Revi Thomas, Mary Rodriguez, Emmanuel Prathap Singh, Roshni Rajan, Tabitha Martyn, Sunila Rajan, Shilvi Sharon, Nadisha Thomas and Anupa Paul — sang in voices that glinted and blended with the choruses who sang in polyphony for the crowd scenes. The choir ended the evening with John Rutter's Gaelic blessing 'The Lord Bless You and Keep You'.
The evening's performance simmered with intensity without delving too deeply into musical intricacies, lending the pieces a rare charm that is difficult to achieve in heavy Lenten music. The musicians were buoyed by eloquent conducting on the part of both Ebenezer Arunkumar and Augustine Paul.
With the hovering serenity of the last 'Amen' the story of Easter was born anew, once again.

GeForce2 Quake 3 Shootout - Hi-Res Performance
Time to separate the pretenders from the contenders. High resolution includes performance results at 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200.
Quake 3 High Quality - 1024x768 - Demo001
Similar to the results of the GeForce2 MX at a resolution of 800x600, you begin to see the GTS losing a bit of ground at 1024x768 in 32-bit color with texture compression disabled. With a 9% loss in frames per second compared to when texture compression is enabled, 92.1 fps is more than acceptable. At this point, the GeForce2 MX offers adequate performance in 16-bit color while the Ultra is still chugging along with no worries.
Quake 3 Max Quality - 1024x768 - Demo001
Moving to maximum quality settings we see the GeForce2 Ultra beginning to pull away from the GTS. The Ultra only loses 6% in 32-bit color and 2% in 16-bit color performance when disabling texture compression.
Unless you begin to turning off graphics options in Quake 3, the GeForce2 MX won't cut it at a resolution of 1024x768. The GeForce2 GTS becomes the choice of card at 1024x768 but begins to falter in 32-bit color with texture compression disabled under maximum quality settings. The Ultra finally receives consideration as it begins to pull away from the GTS using maximum quality settings.
Quake 3 High Quality - 1280x1024 - Demo001
We finally hit the domain of the GeForce2 Ultra at a resolution of 1280x1024. While the GTS performs well in 16-bit color, the Ultra has enough horsepower to offer a solid 78 fps using high quality settings with texture compression disabled. In 16-bit color the Ultra gets over 100 fps and the GTS isn't that far behind. However, at these settings under 32-bit color, the memory bandwidth ceiling of the Ultra begins to come into play.
Quake 3 Max Quality - 1280x1024 - Demo001
Under maximum quality settings, the GeForce2 GTS hits the wall under 32-bit color. Performance in 16-bit color is good at 84.9 fps with texture compression enabled, but disabling texture compression results in a 20% loss in performance. Even the mighty Ultra begins to shows signs of reaching its limit in 32-bit color, but 16-bit color performance remains in the 90-100 fps range.
Quake 3 High Quality - 1600x1200 - Demo001
You'll definitely need a GeForce Ultra to achieve acceptable performance at a resolution of 1600x1200. However, it's doubtful that you'll be able to maintain the high frame rate needed for competetive online play unless 16-bit color is used.
Quake 3 Max Quality - 1600x1200 - Demo001
Ditto using maximum quality settings as the GeForce2 Ultra exceeds 60 fps in 16-bit color with texture compression enabled or disabled.

Updated 07/08/2014
The National Hotel has maintained its distinct art deco heritage (the chocolate- and ebony-hued pieces in the lobby date back to the 1930s, and the baby grand piano headlines the throwback Blues Bar) while also keeping up with SoBe's glossy newcomers with its renovated cabana wing and art deco tower. The hotel serves as a bastion of calm in the sea of white-on-white mod decor and raucous reveling typical of most other beachfront properties lining this stretch of Collins Avenue. The most spectacular feature is Miami Beach's longest pool, which stretches from the tower, past a series of comfy black-and-white-striped cabanas and poolside tables, to a duo of tropical tiki bars and the beach. Rooms in the main tower were renovated in 2012 and 2013 (they shockingly had boob tube TVs until 2013). However, the cabana wing is still preferred by most.
