Here’s a little independence exercise that gets your limbs playing in different time signitures.
All of the grooves are really simple patterns of 16th and 8th notes so the differences in time signitures stand out a little more.
Your feet are in 3. In this video I’m playing:
R L L R L L
,but it could also be:
L R R L R R or
R R R L L L
or anything inbetween.
My left hand is in 5, playing the left hand part of a fiveadiddle:
L R L R R
L _ L _ _
And my right hand is playing a similar pattern in 7:
R L R L R L L
R _ R _ R _ _
Moving the hands over different instruments can create an emphasis on one time signiture over another. Sometimes it makes for some nifty sounding grooves.
The last couple clips I move the foot ostinato into eigtth note triplets, putting the right foot at a quarter note pulse. It grounds things so the 5 and 7 come through a little better (not to mention it’s easier to play!).
It gets a little muddy at times here but I thought I’d post it up anyway to mark my progress. Thanks for watching!

Demonstration of a 1960’s Galloping Ghost radio control system. A single “servo” is used and by a clever combination of pulse rate variation, pulse width variation, and mechanical decoding, three controls are achieved. There is some interaction between the controls and the throttle operation prevents independently using the rudder and elevator, but it does work. The constant pulsing motion really eats up the batteries and the system requires some mechanical tuning to get everything working correctly.

I received an unexpected scholarship and have decided that I would like to get a new stethoscope for nursing clinicals. I’m currently using a $10 sprague from allheart but the tube rub makes it very difficult to listen for low frequency sounds. I also have trouble hearing the apical pulse on COPD patients. I’ve had the opportunity to use an instructors Littman Cardiology III and was very happy when I was able to find the apical on a barreled chested patient. No one with a sprague had been successful with the same patient.
I’ve been trying to do some research to see what’s out there but it’s hard to find reviews for anything other then Littman. ANY first hand reviews or suggestions would be appreciated. My budget is $200 and I need a stethoscope with a bell and diaphragm so it can do double duty on peds.
I’m not concerned with my stethoscope walking away. I’ve had the same sprague since the beginning and it NEVER leaves my side.
I’ve used the Harvey Elite, and am quite happy with it’s performance. It would be comparable to a Cardiology II. Here is a link to the specs for it. This will give you an idea of what it looks like, what comes with it, and an idea of a general price. Obviously, if you shop around, you could probably find a better price.

It does well in the back of a noisy squad. I can’t imagine a controlled clinical environment being more noisy than that..
Edit: while I’m thinking about it, try to select one with shorter tubing (or trim the tubing down)- between 15 and 20 inches. This helps to cut down on extraneous sound, and provides better sound transmission. Tubing less than 15 inches tends to be uncomfortable, as you will always be leaning over and stretching to listen to heart and lung sounds.
I am playing Pokemon Diamond right now…and i wanna know what i should teach my giratina! it has the moes-Shadow Force-dARK pULSE-eARTH pOWER-sLASH….I am going to teach it draco meteor to replace slash but i dont know what i should replace shadow force or dark pulse with please help!
replace earthpower with earthquake, earthquake is more powerful, giga impact instead of slash, the accuracy may be lower but way powerful, then keep the remaining two. Now you should have a powerful giratina! good luck!
My 69yr old mom is having health problems … memory issues etc.
She recently left the hospital ama without the oxygen they wanted her to be on. She is a chain smoker a very very serious chain smoker.
I took her to the Dr. today and her Pulse ox was 70%
she flately refused to have oxygen even while in the office..
she’s also strung out on pain medication and has been exibiting drug seeking behavior. We wanted to check her for UTI and/or Kidney malfunction but she refused to pee… claiming she couldn’t go.. she is incontinent and rarely has a moment when she doesn’t go…
Its like she’s committing suicide and I am doing everything I can to keep her alive…
Right now what I really want to know is with her chain smoking for hours and hours on end and her pulse ox at 70 how fast is the decline… what affect does this have on which organs…
I’m trying to find a way to get her put in a home but she’s fighting me everywhich way I turn.. she doesn’t want home health care, she doesn’t want me living with her (and frankly I’m afraid to.. when I stay with her I stay awake because I’m afraid she’ll start a fire and we’ll both burn to death… there are burn holes in all her clothes, blankets, rugs, towels.. its just awefull.. and she won’t accept help…
She’s still insisting on driving so I make sure she’s got everything she needs except cigarettes so she won’t drive… I’m thinking of disabeling her car somehow…
she has been halucinating too…
Recently she tried to cook and was cooking on top of the covers that go over the heating elements.. then forgot about it.. started a fire and now insists someone else did that… I spent all night last night cleaning the stove and the rest of what used to be an immaculate home…
I’m grief stricken … I’m afraid she will die soon and just need to know what to expect… I’m also looking for a good online support group for caregivers…
Thank you so much for your help,
anni
She is extremely hypoxic. Carbon dioxide is building in her system. She really needs oxygen expecially at night when it is probably lower than 70. Take it from someone who has had pulse ox in the 70. She is extremely fatigued, feeling anxious and maybe confused. I felt like I had adhd. She will probably is not already in congestive heart failure due to her lungs called cor pulmonale. She probably can’t walk very far. If you can somehow get her to an ER, she will get admitted. If she refuse, you can report mental insuffiency due to her medical status.
Best wishes.
During exercise you make demand a greater effort than usual from your muscles and the cells found in these regions need to be supplies with oxygenatex haemoglobin..Thus to meet the demand the pace of the heartbeat accelerates and blood flows more quickly in your arteries(all carry oxygenated blood except for pulmonary artery)..Hence the increased pulse rate.
Your pulse rate does not infact decrease during exercise. Though I might be wrong..but the probability of my making a mistake is quite small..
So i have some questions about heart rate…
why is it important to obtain a pulse at all?
Why is it important to be able to obtain a pulse on different parts of your body?
why is it important to know your target heart rate range?
if your heart rate drops below/exceeds target heart rate what does this mean for training?
it important because it lets you know how many beats per minute your heart is beating. a pulse at different parts of your body can let you know if your circulation is good or bad. 60 to 100 is normal for most people. it is important to know a baseline so that you can detect something wrong
When you take a blood pressure reading it is important to inflate the blood pressure cuff until you no longer hear a pulse. Learn more about how to inflate a blood pressure cuff with tips from a doctor in this free health video.
