Create, Then Stay Out Of A Big Buck’s Sanctuary

Jess P. from Indiana writes to ask about holding big bucks on his hunting area. “We’ve got 180 acres we manage for deer and hunt there as well. Our problem is that the area is too small to hold the bucks there so they eat our food, but get shot on the neighbors’ property. Is there anything we can do?”

I hear this all the time, and indeed you can do some things to hold bucks on your smaller properties. First, create sanctuary cover as close to the middle of your property as possible. You can do this by plantings or cutting timber, but a 20-acre area is a great start. Second, and this is critical, stay out of that sanctuary. No exceptions to this unless a wounded deer goes in there. Third, cut down on all activity on the property. No ATVs, no recreational riding in the off season, no cars ever on the property. Park at the perimeter. Also, no biking, hiking, no morel hunting, no use of that area at all.

Dr. Dave Samuel

Watch the area from treestands on the periphery to see where to place your stands. Hunt the fringe, then move in a bit, but leave the sanctuary alone. I know this sounds severe, but for small properties, if you have some food and cover, and you stay out so they feel secure, you can harvest good bucks there year after year.

For a fine selection of Hunting gear, click here.

Dr. Dave writes a weekly column for If you have a question for Dr. Dave, e-mail your question to Dr. Dave in care of Tom Kacheroski, senior editor of‘s content at Dr. Dave studied deer for 30 years as a wildlife management professor at West Virginia University. In addition he has been a bowhunter for over 40 years, with deer being his main prey. He’s also an outdoor writer and has been with “Bowhunter” magazine for 31 years.

The XXXG-01Wfr Gundam Fenice Rinascita is a custom Gunpla and the successor of the XXXG-01Wf Wing Gundam Fenice from the anime series, Gundam Build Fighters. The Gunpla is modeled and primary controlled by Ricardo Fellini.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The XXXG-01Wfr Gundam Fenice Rinascita is the upgraded form of Ricardo Fellini's XXXG-01Wf Wing Gundam Fenice after it was severely damaged during his loss to the Qubeley Papillon at the semi-finals. The Gundam Fenice Rinascita is greatly modified compared to its predecessor, the trademark asymmetrical design has been forgone entirely and it sports new custom parts all over its body. The suit also gained several new weaponry, and its transformation capability has been restored as well. The latter allows Gundam Fenice Rinascita to carry out high speed travel after changing into Flight Mode.

  • Vulcan Gun
Mounted in the head, the pair of rapid fire Vulcan Guns are used as secondary ranged weapons. They are weak in power, but have wide applications such as intercepting incoming missiles.
  • Machine Cannon
Mounted on the clavicle sections, the pair of Machine Cannons have higher power than the Vulcan Guns and are capable of damaging enemies.
  • Beam Mantle
Mounted on each shoulder, the Beam Mantle is a defensive equipment that functions like a beam shield. Like the the original Wing Gundam Fenice, the Gundam Fenice Rinascita can use its beam mantles to enhance its punches.
  • Buster Rifle Custom
Gundam Fenice Rinascita's primary ranged weapon, like the Buster Rifle Custom used by the Wing Gundam Fenice, it can be separated into numerous components and used independently. However, the smaller rifle at the bottom of this new Buster Rifle Custom can be further separated into a Handgun and a Beam Saber. The Buster Rifle Custom is stored on the backpack when not in use during MS mode. In Flight Mode, the Buster Rifle Custom is mounted under the arms separately as the Buster Rifle and the smaller rifle.
  • Buster Rifle
The top component of the Buster Rifle Custom, it looks similar to the original Buster Rifle and is capable of firing a narrow beam akin to that of a beam rifle or a huge blast like that of a beam cannon.
  • Handgun
Mounted on the bottom of the Buster Rifle Custom, it has low output but a high rate of fire. It can be used on its own, or combined with the Beam Saber to form a rifle which fires standard-sized beam shots. This rifle can be used while mounted on the Buster Rifle Custom.
  • Beam Saber
One of two melee armaments used by the Gundam Fenice Rinascita, its beam blade can cut through normal beam saber's blade. It is stored on the bottom of the Buster Rifle Custom, in front of the Handgun. It can be used separately as a handheld weaponry, or serve as a bayonet while mounted on the Buster Rifle Custom. It is also possible to use the Beam Saber after it combines with the Handgun to form a rifle, this form can be used in Flight Mode to remove obstacle or to damage enemies.
  • Rinascita Wing Shield
A piece of solid shield that serves as the unit's main defensive equipment, it also serves as the unit's nose when in Flight Mode. When required, the shield can be launched as an independent unit for reconnaissance purposes during MS mode.
  • Beam Saber
Stored in the Rinascita Wing Shield, it is the suit's second beam saber and has a design different. Its beam blade is capable of cutting through shields easily.
  • Missile
The white parts of the wings store several missiles that are mainly used during Flight Mode.

History of the Gundam Fenice Rinascita can all be found on Ricardo Fellini's page

Picture Gallery

Notes & Trivia

  • The unit's name 'Fenice' means Phoenix in Italian and refers to the fact that Fellini kept rebuilding and improving it time after time, like a phoenix rising.
  • 'Rinascita' is also an Italian word, meaning Rebirth. The overall name of the Gunpla is an reference to the Phoenix being reborn from the ashes.
  • The HGBF model kit of the Fenice Rinascita sets the machine's height at 16.3 meters, the same as the original Fenice. Despite this, the completed model stands a whole head taller than its predecessor, putting it closer to the 18 meter range.
    • In the anime (around the 10:38 mark of episode 23), the shield stored beam saber is shown to be similar in design to that of Fenice's beam rapier. However, the HG and MG kit have it as a simple cylindrical beam saber.

ACOG Article Feature

6 Top ACOG Scopes Reviewed (2020)

Whether you are an avid hunter, a professional sharp shooter, or a casual gun aficionado, you want to get the most quality out of your gun’s ACOG equipment. When purchasing the best ACOG scope add-ons for your collection, you’re buying for quality over convenience and want a scope that will provide the highest accuracy, longest durability, and is easy to use for an affordable price. Here, we’ve investigated several different types and brands of ACOG scopes based on price, magnification, durability, accuracy, and eye relief. We’ve ranked the 6 top ACOG scopes for you to choose from, no matter if you’re hunting or just killing paper bad guys at the range.

1. Trijicon ACOG 4×32 BAC Illuminated Riflescope
Perfect for those die-hard competitors, this riflescope certainly ranks at the top. This top ACOG scope is ideal for little to no light situations and for shooting with “both eyes open.” A popular ACOG scope with the US military and law enforcement, this scope does not come cheap. Though the price is high, this scope delivers. The battery-free scope is built with 7075-T6 aircraft-aluminum-alloy housing for extreme durability. For those concerned with how much weight is added to your rifle, the scope weights 10.5 oz. without the mount. The bullet drop compensating reticle allows out to 800 meters for 5.56 (.223 cal.). The only downside to this scope is the eye relief, which is at 1.5 in, and provides a field of view of 7.0 (Degrees). The illumination is what makes this scope standout as the aiming point is visible even in total darkness.
2. Trijicon ACOG 3.5×35 Riflescope
As one of the best ACOG scopes on the market, this one is for those who are not as concerned with the weight added to their rifle, 14 oz. without mount, and are looking for more eye relief, 2.4 in. providing a field of view of 5.5 (Degrees). The magnification goes up to 3.5x, so this is not an ideal scope for any close quarters combat use. This scope is available with a range of reticles and has a bullet drop compensation out 800 meters. This scope is also battery-free, and illuminates with tritium/fiber optics. The price is just under $900, but it’s made with 7075-T6 aircraft-aluminum-alloy housing, so it will last you a very, very long time.
3. Trijicon ACOG 3×30 Riflescope
This is one of the best ACOG scope because it provides variable illumination. This scope provides a choice of the Dual Illuminated Amber Chevron .2223 Ballistic Reticle or a Dual Illuminated 9.0 MOA Amber Dot Reflex Sight. Unfortunately, though it is one of the top ACOG scopes, if you’re looking to go “wireless,” you’ll need a battery, albeit a single AA, but with that one battery, you’ll get around 10,000 hours of illumination. The bullet drop compensating reticle is standard and is visible even in somewhat less-than-desirable lighting conditions. Both LED models provide six adjustable brightness settings. Trijicon lists the eye relief as 1.9 in, but users have stated they find it to be much more like 3-4 inches. However, the field of view is minimal at 3.7. The weight is also ideal at 7.7 oz., and has 3x magnification. As a slightly less expensive Trijicon scope, many buyers find themselves just as satisfied with this scope as with a 4×32.
4. WOLTIS ACOG RC 1×32 Scope
Scoping on a budget? Running at around $50, the WOLTIS ACOG RC 1×32 is one of the best ACOG scopes for your price point. The scope requires no batteries and provides unlimited eye relief. The magnification is 1x, so there’s not much of that, but the lenses are clear. It is not nitrogen filled like many other ACOG scopes, but it does provide ample durability for the casual hunter or shooter with shockproof, weatherproof, and sealed housing. This is a highly affordable scope to use in daylight as the power source fiber does not illuminate as much as its competitors.
5. TACKSPORT ACOG 4×32 Scope
As a slightly more expensive scope than the WOLTIS, the TACKSPORT offers much more in terms of magnification and illumination, thus earning a place as one of the best ACOG scopes on the market. Also made with aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, the scope offers stronger durability. The eye relief is about 2.75 in. (listed as 70 mm), providing a field of view about 6.15. As opposed to the WOLTIS, this scope is nitrogen filled to

prevent that infernally annoying internal fogging. At approximately $90, this top ACOG scope combines quality with affordability.

6. UUQ Prism 4×32 Red/Green/Blue Illuminated Scope
At the same price point as the WOLTIS, the UUQ Prism stands out as one of the best ACOG scopes that isn’t a Trijicon. Nitrogen filled, shockproof, sealed, and rainproof, this scope is highly durable and ideal for most any type of weather. The field of view is comparable to the Trijicon ACOG 4×32 at 7 Degrees. Though it does require batteries, if you prefer illuminating variety, this scope offers 5 brightness settings for each color: red, green, and blue. That’s 15 options! The prism scope is unique in that the reticle is etched into the glass and illuminates if batteries die. The bullet drop compensating rapid ranging reticle offers easy adjustability to sight your target and is ideal for close quarter battle scenarios.

When seeking the overall best quality, you’re sure to go with a Trijicon, but if you’re looking for both quality and affordability, the WOLTIS, TACKSPORT, or UUQ Prism scopes are all top ACOG scopes with which to start your foray into ACOG scopes. For more information, see the comparison chart below.

Mosin Nagant M91/30: The Best Surplus Rifle In Existence

image of a man aiming his Mosin Nagant M91-30

Every true survivalists needs a centerfire rifle, something that can be both used for defense and to bring down big game to put food on the table.

This priority remains the same for those who are on a serious budget. The only difference with those on a budget is that your options are more limited. You may not be able to afford an AR-15 for instance, even if it’s a budget $500 model.

Being on a budget will force you to turn to cheaper options, but still, you don’t want to have to sacrifice quality.

One of the most popular rifles for preppers that provides you with incredible value for the money is the Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle. Today, these rifles can be easily purchased for the $200 to $300 range, which is up from the $50 to $100 range they were in previously. Safe to say, buying a Mosin-Nagant means you could be making a lucrative investment in addition to getting a rifle that will serve you well in an SHTF scenario.

The Mosin-Nagant is simply a bolt action rifle fed by an internal magazine. It has seen action in numerous wars since its introduction in 1891 and it continues to see service even today.

The Mosin-Nagant is a weapon born and bred for combat use, and even though it may be a bit obsolete today in the 21st Century, beggars can’t be choosers. For $200, you’re getting one of the most durable and battle proven rifles in existence. Who can complain?

Why The Mosin Nagant?

Many consider the Mosin-Nagant to be the ideal budget prepper firearm.

Why? Well, there are a number of reasons.

To name a few, the Mosin Nagant is durable, requires preciously little maintenance in order to use in the field, and is also very simple to operate.

Can you work the bolt and pull the trigger? If so, then you can use the Mosin Nagant.

Another benefit to the Mosin Nagant is its caliber: the 7.62x54r. This round is relatively affordable and ballistically is similar to the .30-06 Springfield round, meaning that it is capable of bringing down virtually any big game in North America.

The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is also designed to function properly even in the mud, snow, and ice.

Field stripping is easy, as you simply empty the weapon, pull the bolt back, and then gently squeeze the trigger to release the bolt. At that point, running a bore brush through the barrel is very easy.

For these reasons, it’s easy to see why the Mosin-Nagant is a popular option among preppers.

History of the Mosin-Nagant

The Mosin Nagant was first accepted as the standard service rifle by Russia in 1891. Variants include the full length M1891, M1891/30 (adopted in 1930), and the M38 and M44 carbines. Many other countries also produced Mosin Nagants besides Russia. Chinese Mosins are usually the most inexpensive, while Finnish produced ones are usually considered to be the nicest.

The Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905 was the first major conflict that the Mosin Nagant saw action in.

Next, it saw service in World War I, the Russian Civil War, and in World War II. While the rifle was eventually replaced by the AK-47 in 47, it has continued to see service in numerous conflicts since then, including Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and even in the Syrian Civil War of today.

Advantages of the Mosin Nagant

Here is an outline and discussion of the advantages of the Mosin Nagant:

Cost Efficiency

Prices of Mosin Nagants have risen in recent years. They previously could be bought and sold for $50 to $100, but today, you’re looking at a price of around $300.

Still, that’s an excellent deal and is very cheap in comparison to other rifles. If the value of them continues to increase in future years, and there’s every reason to think that they will, then you could be looking at a nice investment opportunity.

Plus, the ammo 7.62x54r is relatively inexpensive as well. Prices of around $8 per a box of twenty rounds are not uncommon.

Aftermarket Support

Since the Mosin Nagant is such a popular rifle both worldwide and in the United States, aftermarket support for the rifle is strong. Slings, scopes, bent bolts, trigger upgrades, and stocks to name a few things can be easily found and installed on the rifle.

The 7.62x54r round is very similar to the .30-06 Springfield in terms of its ballistics. As a result, it’s a highly versatile round that can bring down virtually anything in North America thanks to its suitable stopping power. It can also be fired accurately at long distances to hit moving targets.

Mosin Nagant rifles are surprisingly accurate, especially the M91/30 variation with the longer sight radius. In fact, the sights on Mosins are designed to help deliver accurate shots out to one and a quarter miles.

You can beat up Mosins and continue to run them. Mud, dirt, snow, ice, rain, and other kinds of inclement weather are absolutely nothing that a Mosin won’t be able to handle.

Bolt Removal

Removing the bolt on a Mosin Nagant is incredibly easy. Simply unload the rifle, bring the bolt handle from the sight to the up position, depress the trigger, and then gently remove the bolt out of the receiver.

Disadvantages of the Mosin Nagant

The Mosin Nagant is a good rifle but it is still not a perfect one. Here are some disadvantages of the platform:

Difficult Safety

The Mosin Nagant has a manual safety on the rear of the bolt, but it requires a lot of force in order to pull back and engage. It’s hardly convenient or pleasurable to use. Furthermore, the gun needs to be cocked in order to engage the safety.

Mosin Nagants have a little kick to them, especially the shorter M38 and M44 carbine versions. Smaller statured shooters may not appreciate this.

Poor Trigger

The Mosin Nagant hardly has a great trigger. It’s not awful, but it is rather long and sloppy. Needless to say, you’re not getting a match grade trigger. Many people like to have their Mosin triggers replaced with lighter versions for this reason.

Muzzle Blast

When you first shoot a Mosin Nagant you’ll be quick to notice the large flash at the end of the muzzle. It’s nothing you can’t get used to, like the recoil, but it is still something to be aware about.

Finally, the Mosin Nagant M91/30 is a very long rifle and hardly the best choice for tight corners. It’s going to be very difficult using the rifle indoors or to clear rooms or anything like that. It may also be a problem if you’re outdoors in the trees and brush.

If this is an issue for you, your best bet would be to go with a shorter carbine Mosin like the M38 or M44. These carbine length Mosins are usually a little more expensive and have more recoil, but there’s always a trade off.

The Mosin-Nagant M91/30 may be an outdated weapon but that does not at all mean that it should be underestimated. Durable, versatile, and surprisingly accurate, the Mosin-Nagant is the definition of a cheap and yet dependable military surplus rifle.

  1. I want to buy one for my grandson for Christmas. Can you help me find one and how to buy it? Thanks so much. I live in Kentucky.

  2. @Deborah Fugate, generally it’s good to check your local gun shows. Usually there is more than one vendor that carries Mosin Nagants. Also check; you can search not just by chambering (7.62x54R), but also by your state. In-state, you can legally buy one from a non-dealer (for example, your neighbor down the street or colleague at work) the same way you would buy a stereo system on, say, Craigslist or Little Nickel or other want-ads. You can, of course, also buy them from any licensed gun dealer in your state if they have ’em in stock. You actually can buy one out of state quite legally and have it shipped to you, provided that you go throuogh a licensed gun dealer in your state. If you do go that route, there’s a nominal fee for the “black book” and the background check, but it’s not too bad.

    Another nice thing about the 7.62x54R is that it continues to be produced today for military use. Yep, it’s still a currently used round by the Russian Army, and they still make the ammo for it (the PK/PKM machine gun and its derivatives use it). That means that ammo is available. For handloaders, boxer/brass ammo also remains available from Prvi Partizan, and Prvi Partizan brass is pretty good brass.

    I’ve used a Mosin to go hunting. Yeah, it’s kind of a long rifle (29″, usually). But I don’t mind the extra length; you get used to it.

    There’s this “Mosin vs. Mauser” pseudo-holy debate, kind of like Ford/Chevy/Dodge. The Mausers are certainly good milsurp rifles of the old school. So is the Mosin. I wouldn’t want to be on the business end of either one of ’em!

A hundred-year-old insight into the gut microbiome!

As the National Institutes of Health-funded Human Microbiome Project enters its second phase, and as a major part of this project focuses on the human gut microbiome and its effects on human health, it might help us to travel a century back in time and examine how microbiologists dealt with microbiome-related challenges similar to those of the 21st century using the tools of their time. An article by Arthur I. Kendall, published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry in November 1909 (Some observations on the study of the intestinal bacteria J Biol Chem 1909, 6:499-507), offers a visionary insight into many of today's hot research questions.

Why the gut?

When Gut Pathogens was launched earlier this year [1], I was among those surprised that a scientific journal would focus entirely on the pathogens that colonize, parasitize, and potentially damage a single mammalian system: the alimentary canal or the gut. This surprise, however, would quickly vanish on considering the number of microorganisms that inhabit this single body system. For example, an estimated 10 to 100 trillion (1013-1014) bacteria and archaea inhabit the human gut [24], and this suggests 1014-1015 bacteriophages associated with them [5, 6], not to mention other viruses and other parasitic eukaryotic microbes. While most of the aforementioned members of the human microbiota are not classically described as pathogens, their role in pathogenesis is being (re)discovered [7]. Diseases are being increasingly attributed to multiple organisms and microbial consortia [8, 9], to shifts in the composition of the so-called 'normal' flora (e.g., [1014]), and to disturbances in the balance between the microbial flora and the host's immune system (e.g., [1518]). Gut Pathogens, being equally interested in the health and disease of the alimentary canal, and in the role and biology of its invisible inhabitants [1], certainly comes at the right time to bring a well-needed emphasis on this body system and its microbiome.

Concomitant with the evolution of how we view the microbial role in the gut's health and disease came a revolution in sequencing technology, whereby microbial genomes [19] and metagenomes [20] are being sequenced and made publicly available with unprecedented speed and accuracy. These revolutions in thought and technology have opened an entirely new arena in the research of human health and disease. The H uman G enome P roject (HGP) has now cleared the way to its sequel, the H uman M icrobiome P roject (HMP), launched by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2007 [21]. HMP aims at sequence-based determination of the composition and function of the gut microflora, most of which was missed by culture-based studies [9, 22].

Old is new

But, is this arena completely new? A recent discussion about bacteriocentrism [23] led me to discover a hidden gem, written by Arthur I. Kendall and published by The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) in November 1909, a hundred years ago [24]! This article (Fig. 1), which probably includes the first documented occurrence of the word 'bacteriocentric' in scientific literature, also addresses many of the current concerns of the HMP, not including_of course_the sequence-based methodology. Kendall's article is a gentle reminder that, while today's technology offers us tremendous advantage over the past decades and centuries, this should in no way lead us to the arrogance of underestimating or overlooking the product of human thought at any age. Darwin's works, which the scientific community is celebrating this year, are another good reminder.

Figure 1

A screenshot of the first page of the restored electronic version of Kendall's article [24], discussed in this Commentary. The article can be downloaded from TinyURL:[25].

The article's full text is freely available as a PDF file (TinyURL: thanks to the open access policy adopted by JBC (URL:, and I invite Gut Pathogens readers to download it [25], read it, and enjoy a glimpse into the microbiological research scene 100 years ago (Fig. 1). The article concentrates on the effect of diet on the microbiome and the effect of the microbiome on human health, with emphasis on biochemistry and metabolites rather than on cataloguing microbial taxa [24]. These are recurrent themes in today's metagenomic and microbiome research [2628] and are very pertinent to some of the specific aims of the HMP [21], notably at its second phase [29].

Without further ado, I suggest you read some excerpts of the article discussing these recurrent themes.

Excerpts of the article (I): (emphasis mine)

"The alimentary canal may be regarded from the point of view of bacterial processes within it, as a singularly perfect incubator; an incubator in which there is provided at different levels such a range of reaction and diversity of food that not only are the conditions suitable for the growth of the normal habituated intestinal bacteria but often also for those organisms, capable of developing at body temperature, which are ingested with the food of the host.

An idea of the truly enormous daily bacterial proliferation which takes place in the intestinal tract may be obtained if one remembers that a considerable portion of the fecal mass is made up of the bodies of bacteria, dead and living. At the same time the multiplicity of types and variety of physiological requirements of this intestinal flora are indications of the excellence of the incubator and a strong reminder of the influence which the unrestrained activity of these organisms might conceivably exercise upon the general condition of the host." (p. 499)

"The very importance of these discoveries has been a potent factor in diverting attention from the studies of the normal intestinal flora with its wealth of problems relating to the principles which govern the activity of these bacteria. Even at the present time the sequence of events which permits the establishment of these exogenous invaders in the alimentary canal and the exact conditions through which they are able not only to extend and maintain themselves but even to replace wholly or in part the normal flora, are unknown." (p. 499-500)

"The lack of appreciation of this fundamental difference which exists between the relatively inert pathogens and the chemical activity of the more important types of the normal intestinal flora, together with the notoriety that attaches to the former, explains the unprogressive attitude which has characterized many researches on intestinal bacteriology." (p. 500)

"This 'bacteriocentric' conception is not illogical when one is dealing with the exogenous pathogens mentioned above, but it is unproductive of definite results when it is applied in its unmodified form to the study of the normal intestinal flora. It is becoming more and more evident that the problem of intestinal bacteriology must be approached from the dynamical rather than from the cultural standpoint.

Dr. Theobald Smith1 has stated the case admirably in the following terms: 'It is what bacteria do rather than what they are that commands attention, since our interest centers in the host rather than in the parasite.'

1 Theobald Smith: Some Problems in the Life-history of Pathogenic Microörganisms, Amer. Med., viii, pp. 711-718, 1904." (p. 500-501)

Are we what we eat?

Today, we are still intrigued by the vast inter-individual differences in the gut microflora [26, 30]. While humans differ by a minute fraction of their inherited nucleic acids [31], the additional genomes_or rather metagenomes_that they acquire a few months after birth [30, 32] carry major differences that distinguish each individual, but are surprisingly stable over time within an individual (unless diet, immune system, health condition, or medication leads to a temporary or permanent restructuring of these communities [7, 33]). As we establish the effect of human genetics on bacterial diseases [34, 35], we are beginning to unravel how such genetic factors play dramatic effects on gut colonization by different microbial taxa [30, 36]. More interestingly, we are just scratching the surface of the anthropological, cultural, and environmental effects on this major part of the human normal flora. Diet, on which Kendall focuses in this article, varies tremendously even among genetically similar individuals. In highly populated countries (e.g., India and China), where societies are separated by complex cultural, religious, linguistic, and geographic boundaries [26], all these separating factors may affect diet significantly and subsequently alter the composition and biochemistry of the gut inhabitants. A hundred years after Kendall's article [24], HMP investigators have also found that not only what we eat affects our microbiome, but that our microbiome might influence what we eat (chocolate craving [37]) and how we assimilate it (obesity) [13, 14, 38].

Now that we have the possibility of studying the gut microbiome by DNA-based methods, the paradigm shift advanced by Kendall is still well needed, even after 100 years. "It is what bacteria do rather than what they are" [in [24]] that counts, whether our focus is on the mammalian host or on the entire ecosystem in which single-celled organisms coexist with multicellular tissues and organs.

I conclude this Commentary by letting you read more excerpts from Kendall's article [24] pertaining to dietary effects on the intestinal microflora, and their detection with what today we call metabolites profiling, metabolomics [33], or metabonomics [28].

Excerpts of the article (II)

"Having determined by experiment that a given diet (for example, simple protein) is associated with a definite type of bacterial activity, and that coincidentally certain of these indicators are present in the urine of the host, it becomes a relatively simple matter to isolate individual strains of this fecal flora which will reproduce, either alone or symbiotically with other strains, these same end products." (p. 503)

"For example, if the experimental animal is on a carbohydrate regimen, the presence or absence of growth in protein media will indicate the presence or absence of proteolytic bacteria, since the acidophilic organisms do not grow well in these media and cannot, therefore, inhibit the growth of these organisms. Conversely, with a protein diet, the presence or absence of acidophiles may be determined by inoculating the mixed fecal flora into acid dextrose broth, which is unfavorable for the development of the proteolytic types. These determinations may be made roughly quantitative for the different types by inoculating definite amounts of the mixed fecal flora into appropriate media.

The end products of bacterial activity which appear in the urine are important for two reasons: they indicate the types of bacterial activity in the intestinal tract, and their reproduction in artificial media by pure cultures derived from the intestinal flora furnish strong presumptive evidence of the participation of these organisms in the process" (p. 507).

Punching Helmets Is Never a Good Idea

Bears WR Javon Wims faces a possible suspension following a squabble with Saints DB Chauncey (C.J.) Gardner-Johnson.

Wims attempted to grab at Gardner-Johnson’s chain and threw two punches to the helmet. He was then ejected from the game.

Following the delay, the Saints intercepted Nick Foles which eventually led to a Saints win in overtime, 26-23.

The series of events started in the third quarter when Gardner-Johnson ripped Wims’ mouthpiece off after an exchange of words. During this interaction, Wims claimed that Gardner-Johnson also spit on him.

Wims was then pulled and spent 11 minutes on the bench before having a chance to be face-to-face with the defensive back again.

Throwing punches is already bad enough, but throwing punches to a helmet doesn’t do any kind of damage you’re hoping for. If you’re going to choose violence at least make sure the other person doesn’t have protective gear on.

Gardner-Johnson has declined to elaborate on what led to him being punched but has denied the claim that he spit on Wims.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson posts on his Instagram story following the conclusion of the game.

I've tried to connect my printer to, but it keeps hitting me with the same message: "That claim code is invalid, try entering a valid claim code."

I've tried rebooting the machine, re-enabling web services, and I get different claim codes every time I print one out anyway, so it doesn't seem to matter what I do.

I was wondering if the code I have is the right code, but it's formatted exactly as shown on the second example below: 16 characters spaced out like the digits on a Visa. Also it doesn't seem to matter whether I include the spaces or not.

Thanks for your help!

Google Science Fair Finalist Explains Squid-inspired Underwater Propulsion

Meet [Alex Spiride]. He’s one of the fifteen finalists of the 2013 Google Science Fair. A native of Plano, Texas, [Alex] entered his squid-inspired underwater propulsion system in the 13-14 year old category.

The red cylinder shown in the image inlay is his test rig. It is covered well on his project site linked above. You just need to click around the different pages using the navigation tiles in the upper right to get the whole picture. The propulsion module uses water sprayed out the nozzle to push the enclosure forward. The hull is made of PVC, with a bladder inside which is connected to the nozzle. The bladder is full of water, but the cavity between it and the hull is full of air. Notice the plastic hose which is used to inject pressurized air, squeezing the bladder to propel the water out the nozzle. Pretty neat huh?

We think [Alex’s] work stands on its own. But we can’t help thinking what the next iteration could look like. We wonder what would happen if you wrapped that bladder in muscle wire? Would it be strong enough to squeeze the bladder?

You can see all fifteen finalists at the GSF announcement page. Just don’t be surprised if you see some of those other projects on our front page in the coming days.

  1. Hey on the subject of Google science fair entrants, I take it you’ve seen the peltier powered torch?

    Neat idea, from what she said and what we can see of the torch she attached 2 peltier devices to some aluminum tube, connected the peltiers to LEDs through a voltage boost cirucit, then covered the tube with a plastic tube to insulate it from the heat of your hands whilst having the peltiers open for your hand to heat up.
    She might want to add an endcap to it, putting cold water inside should work even better than plain air cooling of the aluminium tube.

      1. It’s not that bright, but it’s a science fair project. It’s principle.

        Reading the comments on that site, you’d think the girl just saved the world, or invented something totally new. One mentioned using heat to power cars! Um… they had steam powered cars years ago.

        It would probably work better if she added a super capacitor to store the energy while it’s just sitting there with the LED’s off.

      2. Sure in it’s present form you’re not going to be able to traverse through a forest at night but I see it as an interesting step towards a better designed human heat powered light source.

        I’m sure there’s someone out there who has seen (or will see) the torch and will try to create a more efficient version, and I want to see that when it happens, and possibly make one myself.

        1. Probably not, peltier junctions are notoriously inefficient. And using them as a power source is nothing new. What this girl did is not ground breaking or innovative.

  2. While cool that a he is young, and participating in a science fair. I will note that the efficiency of this operation is rigged. Air is lighter than water and is being pumped in by an outside source to move upwards. If up is the direction you want to measure with this, it is essentially flawed if used a a ballast (because you have to bring the same amount of air down with you). Also the side to side motions would change the lift of the machine. This needs either water as a displacement medium or some other way of actuating the water bag.

    1. how about a hydraulic cylinder on a crank shaft? you could use veggie oil as the hydraulic fluid to prevent damage to the ecosystem and could vary the speed of the motor to change the pulse rate.

    1. I just had the same idea. I just also realized that for submerged robots or subs this propulsion should be more quiet than the screw. Can you imagine military subs with mechanically actuated sacs?

      1. “mechanically actuated sacs”, LOL! Anyway one of the biggest problems with subs is cavitation from the propellers, if it starts everyone and his brother can hear you, and it at higher speeds its more likely, this squid propulsion would seem to avoid this problem.

      2. You don’t really need a sack per se, you can just use a standard peristaltic pump. That said, if you are pumping at high speeds, you will still have cavitation issues at the entrance and exit of the flow.

Retrotechtacular: Piano Rolls, Made By Apple ][

Piano rolls are the world’s longest-lasting recording medium, and its first digital one. They were mass-produced from 1896 to 2008, and you can still get some made today, although they’re a specialty item. The technology behind them, both on the player and the recorder side, is simply wonderful.

[lwalkera] sent us in this marvelous video (embedded below) that provides a late-80s peek inside the works of QRS Records, and the presenter seems to be loving every minute of it.

Player pianos are cool enough, with their “draw bar” pulling air through the holes in the paper roll as it goes by, and pneumatically activating the keys. But did you ever think of how the rolls are made?

piano-roll-production-at-qrs-music-i3ftagwfxpmmkv-shot0011Some are made live at a recording piano which scrapes a rolling carbon-copy wheel to make scratches that will later be transferred to punches in production. But another machine lets a technician play through the piece at whatever tempo he (in this case) desires, and has hold levers that leave some notes sustained. It’s a marvel of turn-of-the-last-century engineering. And of course, rolls could be cut by hand with a hole punch.

But technology has not left the paper piano roll alone. In the mid-80s, the QRS company had computer piano-roll-editor software up and running on its Apple ][s. Indeed, their production setup seems to be sixteen simultaneous punches driven by one Apple. Modern four-axis CNC machines, eat your heart out.

If you like music, or old computers, or both, this video is a gem. Of course, we’ve seen our share of hacks that read piano rolls — here and here and even here — the physical machines, with their pulleys and wheels and wheezy pneumatic systems, are still (retro-)cool enough in their own right.

  1. Nice video, sad to think most of that machinery has probably been scrapped. The sort of thing that should be in a museum, at least we have a video though so that people can see how it worked.

    1. Agreed, I loved watching this show as a kid. Although most of the tech on the show was current at the time, today the episodes are retrotechtaculars in themselves. Thanks for reminding me of the show’s title, all I could remember was “Acme”. *off to youtube*

  2. Knoebels, an amusement park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania has several band organs located around the park. These organs are still ran off of the piano roles, and add to the fun (and noise) of the park.

  3. Interesting. Looking at the rolls, they’re only punching round holes. When a not is held for a long time, thye just punch the round holes closer together and let the mechanical lag of the piano act to hold the not.

    When I was younger, I had a friend who had a player piano. Her rolls had long oval holes where the note was held. Thinking about how those must have been cut — they would have had to use a roller or something like that to cut a long oval hole. Short notes were round holes, like the QRS machine makes.

    So, I wonder…were the oval holes originally a series of round holes, spaced closely together and then cut to oval shape in a post-process? The sides were absolutely straight, so they weren’t cut by using overlapping round holes.

    1. Not necessarily “mechanical lag”, really; it’s pneumatic. You need more air initially (hence the 2 or 3 closely-spaced holes at the beginning of a long note), but once the valve is actuated, you only need enough air to keep up with a small bleed orifice, so more space between holes is okay.

  4. The Roman numbers one to five. I,II,III,IV,V. Please stop this bassakwards brackets!

    The punch strikes when the paper isn’t moving, then the paper moves a small amount. Repeat. The live punch was very loud, think dot matrix printer including the stuttering motion of the roll. Chain holes (long notes) cause the roll of paper to rip if not handled well, so little webs are left in newer rolls which the player doesn’t respond to. Chads can mess up an election and clog a note on a player. One needs to vacuum the tracker bar once in a while. Many pianists made digital recordings then made a phono record and the engineer looked over your music and told you not to use the pedal and not to play pp or ppp and not to play ff or fff. Compression argh. The roll played everything from ppp to fff and “better than” they could.

    They lamented why this didn’t happen 100 to 150 years earlier, we’d have digital recordings of Beethoven and Mozart.

    There is a wide reaching program of rollscanning to preserve this legacy. The paper is the first gen of acid process and it’s life is up. There is little in the Smithsonion or elsewhere. QRS gave all of their 4X speed master rolls to the war effort right after P.H.
    Karoke was invented in 1906 when a minor roll maker printed the words to songs right on the roll.

  5. There are two types of player pianos (at least): simple ones play a not that is either on or off. (these are often the ones you hear in movies, etc.) More complex ones reproduce the exact travel of the keys and sound almost exactly like a live performance. Thanks to the more complex type, we can hear the playing style of performers who predate other recording methods.

  6. Hi Elliott,

    I think you underestimated the power of APPLE ][ technology, 16 holes are being punched per roll, but 4 rolls are being punched by the ][ simultaneously, so that’s whew 64 outputs at a time!

    In the end though, it’s still not a high bandwidth, 64 outputs is just 8 bytes and you can see from the video the Apple ][ when punching from disk punches rows 5103 to 5131 in 2.8s, i.e. about 10 rows/s. That’s just 80 bytes per second, very easy for an early 1MHz 8-bitter, in Forth or Machine code. The really interesting thing is that it’s punching from disk. However, the Apple ][ didn’t have any automatic disk transfer, instead all the IO was byte-bashed with interrupts off. So, how did they manage to keep the punches working during disk access?

    Note: 5960 rows * 8 bytes = 47680Kb, pretty much an Apple ][‘s entire RAM. This implies that probably only part of the music was stored in RAM at any time. So the mystery remains, well, unless all the punching machines just output duplicates, which is possible given that the screen only shows one punch as active. Then it would just be about 5960*2 = about 12Kb and you could copy it all into RAM and then the bandwidth is only 20 bytes per second, you could do that in Basic ;-)

  7. As a child my parents took me to Buffalo, NY to tour the QRS factory. Was really something to see the whole production.

    Since we had similar Apple II+’s in school I was immediately drawn to this machine. Rudy (QRS chief engineer) popped the cover off and showed me the custom interface cards for the cutting rack.

    Mom probably still has photos of the intricacies of this device — albeit on 35mm negatives.

  8. How It’s Made did a segment on QRS in Season 13 Episode 3. (You should be able to find it in glorious HD, too.) Besides pretty much everything in the video above, they also show how nowadays the music is composed on modern computers with a MIDI keyboard…

    But get this…that Apple II is still there humming along, orchestrating the movements of that hulking electropneumatic wonder (Or, at least it was in 2009-ish when the episode was filmed) presumably because nobody knows where to even *start* when it comes to replacing that crazy Willy Wonka plumbing or the– what I can only imagine is –exquisitely complex custom interface board, with modern hardware.

A new haiku/tanka journal has been started by Dick Whyte and Laurence
Stacey. The purpose of this journal is to explore current events and
news items through the poetic forms of haiku, senryu, tanka and kyoka.
There have been many attempts to marry the news with haiku poetry on
the internet, but as Liam Wilkinson wrote, "often using the 5-7-5
model... It’s the kind of thing to which serious writers, readers and
students of haiku and related forms would have a strong aversion."
(read the rest of Liam's article here:

In contrast to this, Haiku News is attempting to marry the art of
modern English language haiku with the news. We have no interest in
the 5-7-5 form. We are interested in good contemporary haiku poetry,
which is inspired by world events (from the intimate to the
intimidating, from the minuscule to the monumental). What we are
hoping is that through the poetic we will be able to inject the
political with the personal. As Joseph Stalin wrote, "One death is
sad, one million deaths is a statistic." At Haiku News we are trying
to remind people that a million deaths is really nothing more than one
death a million times over. It is not that a million deaths is more
sad than one, but that each of the million deaths is equivalent to
one. Too often the news assumes a pretense of objectivity, and reports
events as if they were simply a curiosity, rather than something to
feel and think critically about.

We have been on-line for about a month now and plan to update once a
day with news from around the world in poetic form. Because this is a
huge task Haiku News is taking submissions. All you need to do is
write a haiku, senryu, tanka or kyoka about a news article and send it
to us with a link to the news item which inspired it. To read more
about the submission process see here:

Happy writing!!

Canon sent me an estimate to fix my film camera.  I gave them my credit card into and told them to go ahead with the repair.  I should have my camera back by the end of the first week of December.

This Friday my wet station will be installed.  I am looking for new support brackets/hings for the shampoo bowl cover as one of the hinges has broken off.  I'll have to look up cabinet makers shortly; Home Depot doesn't carry the correct size that I need.

Currently I'm 36 minutes into the afro perm video.  Anneli already has six pink perm rods in her hair that this point.  Just when I think that I have gotten up early enough (before 6 am) to work on this film and to assess my email box, my son wakes up.  :)~

I have decided to also wear a blouse and tie for Saturday's video shoot, since while editing Anneli's video, I see myself in the footage.  So if I'm going to be in the film as well, I better look the part.  I'll go to Target for a tie today.  I'll check my closet for a blouse.

I've never tied a tie before, but I found a handy instructional video:

Generalized low density lattices for GGH cryptosystem

Abstract : Goldreich-Goldwasser-Halevi (GGH) is a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem which has been widely developed due to its simple encryption and decryption procedures. Despite many existing GGH improvements, its huge public key size remains its main drawback, which prevents the system from being used in practice. In order to reduce the key size, we propose in this paper a new GGH cryptosystem using Generalized low density (GLD) lattices. For this proposed GGH lattice-based scheme, we provide a security analysis by considering all known attacks on GGH systems. We conclude that our scheme is as secure as the existing GGH schemes. We also investigate the complexity of our cryptosystem and prove that GLD lattices reduce significantly the key size and the complexity of the key generation and decryption phases compared to other GGH systems.

Buono Introduces Labor Leader as Running Mate

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono introduced her running mate Monday, a labor organizer with a similar life story and policy positions that enable the campaign to shape a thematic attack on Gov. Chris Christie.

The all-female ticket of Buono and Milly Silva is a first for New Jersey and the third nationwide.

Silva, 43, is executive vice president of SEIU 1199, a private union representing 8,000 home health aides and nursing home workers. She wasted no time attacking her new opponent, claiming Christie’s policies favor the wealthy at the expense of the middle and working classes. It’s a theme Buono has hit repeatedly in her struggling campaign against the popular Republican.

“We live in a New Jersey where whatever Chris Christie says goes,” Silva said in her first speech as candidate. “That’s not a leader. That’s a bully.”

The addition of Silva to the ticket comes with a ready-made network of labor support and fundraising, which the campaign desperately needs. Buono had raised less than half the money that Christie had through a reporting deadline last month. Her total included public funds from a state matching program.

“The sky’s the limit,” said union President George Gresham. “We have the largest political action fund of all the labor unions in the country.”

The Christie campaign criticized the selection as a politically motivated calculation.
