These are questions for anyone who would like to debate me as to the safety of Venlafaxine. I will debate anyone at all on any forum. Just like Hillary Clinton, I’ll even give you the questions ahead of time. It won’t matter, you’ll still lose the debate. Anyone, Harvard, PhD’s, anyone, I’ve defeated them all […]
To everyone who over the past few years has argued with me that Venlafaxine is safe and not an opioid. Go fuck yourselves. It is now admitted in textbooks called “Opioid System as the Interface between the Brain’s Cognitive and Motivational Systems” Page 73 reads… “The antinociceptive properties of venlafaxine and mirazirpine in mice have […]
Venlafaxine, Tramadol and Tapentadol are all opioids. Opioids, generally bind to the mu1 opioid receptor. This receptor is said to be the ‘gateway to addiction’. Venlafaxine was once thought to be only an SNRI. It is not only an SNRI, it is also an opioid and an NMDA antagotist as well as sharing a chemical […]
I thoroughly enjoyed the recent HBO Miniseries “Chernobyl”. Prior to the series I knew all about the accident. I am one of the few who wasn’t surprised to learn that the fuel control rods had graphite tips. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, then watch the series! 🙂 There was some mild […]
OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Program) is the worst health care system in the world beside the British NHS (also publicly funded). Growing up I was proud to have a publicly funded healthcare system with equal access to all. OHIP is sort of a religion. It’s the belief that healthcare can be provided for all by […]
This will be a lesson on basic arranging for Jazz. We’ll take the standard “Stella By Starlight”. Please familiarize yourself with the song if you aren’t already: Now we’ll take a look at the song in a ‘Fake Book’. Here is an excerpt: I took the fake book notes and chords and produced a simple […]
As many of you who follow my blog have noticed, I’ve been arranging choral/gospel liturgical music as Symphonic Suites. I have set up a ‘kickstarter’ campaign to fund the proper production of the full suite, professionally recorded. Please find the kickstarter campaing here: Classical Salute to Liturgical Music If you could help me in promoting […]
Introduction It has long been my dream to write a symphony or musical. I’m a long way off but I finally got around to learning the music score system and how to work with arranging. This project’s work is to take some beautiful choral pieces which may not have been widely heard or known of […]
SMTP (the protocol used to send email) is completely unsecure. It’s been unsecure since it was created. You know how you can put absolutely any return address on an envelope? The same is true of SMTP. You can put any address there at all and then it looks like it’s coming from my domain. I’ve […]
Tabitha’s Star Tabitha’s star, the star broadcasting a triangular mathematical structure is pointed to by the triangle based pyramids here on earth. Recall this scene from the movie “Contact”(1997) (based largely on the novel of the same name by Astronomer Carl Sagan): (Note: In the movie the star transmitting the primes is Vega. Vega is […]
Tsadik Katamar is a liturgical piece of music written by a legend of Jewish Liturgical music, one Louis Lewandowski (1821-1894). The verse opens “tsadik katamar iphrach” which means “righteousness like a fragrant palm tree”. Here is the score: Tsadik Katamar Here is the simulated rendition:
Shema Koleinu arr. for strings by Martin C. Winer Shema Koleinu (‘hear our voice’) is a liturgical piece sung during the Jewish High Holidays. It was scored for choir. This is the 4 part choral arrangement: ShemaKoleinuChoir I used an online orchestration suite (http://www.flat.io/) and produced a string arrangement. Shema Koleinu The suite at flat.io […]
I’m very impressed. For years I’ve awaited a day when it would be ‘easy’ to enter symphonic orchestrations and have them produce a simulated orchestral rendering as an audio file. (‘easy’ in quotes because it’s never really ‘easy’ to work with symphonic scores). I have a limited ability to read scores. I can read music […]
This post presumes familiarity with basic Quantum Mechanics and specifically, the double slit experiment. I like this summary: So from the double slit experiment we know that a single photon (electron) can exist in one of 2 states: particle wave (energy) This is called the wave-particle duality. The weirdness of the double slit experiment occurs […]
‘Music At Beth Emeth’ is an audio cassette produced by the Beth Emeth Bais Yehuda Synagogue circa 1990. It featured both the ‘Beth Emeth Synagogue Choir’ and ‘The Zemer Chorale’ with Cantor Louis Danto, accompanied by Marina Surgan, and conducted by Charles Heller. Side One 1. Shehashalom Shelo (Erlich/Winternitz) 2. Niggun (Folk) (From the book […]
