This is my T. Chordstrum, a musical instrument designed by Johan Berglund; I bought mine as a kit several years ago. It operates like an autoharp, or one of the electronic derivatives of the autoharp like the Omnichord or the QChord: you select a chord by holding down a button (or a group of buttons, for less common chords than the major, the minor, and the 7th) and strumming your finger across the exposed strips in the upper right. Berglund designed it to run based on the Teensy microcontroller platform; if you used a Teensy LC it would output MIDI over its USB connection (which also powers it), and if you used the more powerful but more expensive Teensy 3.2 it also outputs audio through the 3.5mm headphone jack in either a soft synthesized voice or a "plucked" Karplus-Strong voice, and adds an optional drum machine with accompanying bass line. I'm not sure if I've posted about it before, but the main reason I'm doing so now is to show off the new photography setup.
In a thrift store, I spotted a "Scene A+ Rama ShowBox" kit — basically, a box similar to a shoe box but designed for building little dioramas in, marketed especially for school projects — for a couple of bucks, and thought it could be useful for photographing small objects. (The company it's from makes various models for dioramas and things like those trifold cardboard backdrops kids use for science fair project posters; I've seen these at craft stores but didn't think of this use until I saw the much cheaper thrift store purchase.)
I've added a curved back-and-floor-drop, made from poster board, to avoid the harsh shadows from the inside corner. I may spray-paint the whole inside a flat white, or I might just stay with the poster board's natural color; I'm also considering whether to add LED lights to the inside top of the box, or to just work with the external lights I've got.
At any rate, I've often struggled with taking pictures of some of my builds because of the kinds of backdrops I have available. This will, ojalá, make sharing pictures of future projects a little easier.

Is Internet use rate is effected by Urbanrate, Incomeperperson & Female employment rate
Date Set used: Gapminder
To Answer the Question that whether Urbanization increases internet usage, whether Income level increases Internet usage & whether Female employment has any positive or negative impact in Internet usage rate.
Here Internetuserate is variable in data set explaining Internet usage,
Urbanrate is variable in data set explaining urbaninzation in countries,
Incomeperperson is variable in data set explaining Income Levels &
Femaleemployrate is variable in data set explaining Female employment in respective countries.
Several studies have been conducted to determine factors effecting internet usage like:
1. “ Possible factors affecting internet addiction: a case study of higher education students of Qatar” by Habib Ullah Khan & Mahmood A. Awan. They tried to look dependencyon variables of income levels, cultural & demograhical factors.
3. “ Factors influencing Internet usage in older adults (65 years and above) living in rural and urban Sweden ” by Jessica Berner, Mikael Rennemark, Claes Jogréus, Peter Anderberg, Anders Sköldunger, Maria Wahlberg, Sölve Elmståhl, Johan Berglund
New Look Sabres: GM 9 - ANA - The Comeback in Anaheim
I don’t attempt the Duck Hunting jokes because for one I’m not a hunter and for two it’s been done to death. It’s a sincerity thing. However this game is the last of the five game western road trip and I feel the need to put a theme on it more than just “smash that win out button” and take a winning record on the road trip that looked real shitty in the middle. Hmm. Halloween is coming at us in a hurry now, it’s a week from Wednesday, and I started dropping the spooky terminology on Saturday with the LA game. After all, Staples Center had been something of a house of horrors for the Buffalo Sabres in recent years. Last night the Sabres went into a place that had also historically been a house of horrors… worse in fact… a house of worse horrors? I don’t know. The Sabres may have a winning record now at Honda Center by two games but the place saw many of their most ghastly, demoralizing defeats in the seasons since 2010. Buffalo had also not won both in LA and Anaheim since 2003. I’ve said a few times recently that past team stats like those rarely matter so maybe the Ducks’ Pacific Division leading 5 wins, 2 losses and one overtime loss going into last night’s matchup is a bit more relevant. Does that ruin my Halloween theme though? I was literally at a Haunted House for the first thirty minutes of this game and it stands to reason the Sabres have gotten better at exorcisms since the days Ryan Miller was traded out of town. Ryan Miller, talk about ghosts and ghouls of dead Sabres seasons past, am I right? Is this my Halloween blog post or something? That all was really just meant to be a joke about the Honda Center but I guess I’ll run with the Halloween theme now. This Sabres game was fixing to be spooky for 30 minutes but what happened in the end was less trick and more treat! Yikes.
The first period was a decent one for the Sabres. They got their chances, even another powerplay opportunity they haven’t been known to capitalize on. They were frustrated in the first ultimately only giving up a goal to some kid with porn name named Sam Steel. Wait, I am being told he’s one of the better young prospects in the league? Well then: what a damn name. He has a career in politics after hockey with a name like that. Anyway, the Sabres were behind to start the second and did not take it sitting down, pouring on the shots and forcing the fight club known as the Anaheim Ducks into some painful blocked shots. It got worse before it got better and Kiefer Sherwood got the better of a breakaway past Mittelstadt and scored a goal from a little ways out you really probably want Carter Hutton to stop. Now we’re sitting staring at the score thinking we can’t buy a goal again. The rule this season has become every Sabres game needs to be a blowout: win or loss. What might break the rule tonight; a Sabres powerplay goal? Sure. SURE IT WILL! Sam Reinhart got the puck to Kyle Okposo in the last twenty seconds of a Ryan Getzlaf penalty and Do-Do birds arose from the grave of extinction and the Sabres Hockey team of Buffalo scored a powerplay goal. Maybe this is a New Look Sabres team after all? Either way no one thought a powerplay goal from Kyle Okposo was going to get us on the board.
Who other than Jeff Skinner capitalized on a two-on-one to tie the game up? Jeff Keep-him-in-Buffalo-please Skinner. Not only was that the Sabres first game-tying goal of this season, it was assisted by Jason Pominville! Yeah, the geezer is on the Skinner-Eichel line now but you don’t expect him to keep up with a guy like Jeff Skinner, nevermind assist on a net-crasher like that. Nonetheless it was a tie game. A two goal lead had been erased and it was Buffalo doing the erasing. That hasn’t happened this season and it wasn’t all that common in recent seasons either actually. That all is worth repeating: Buffalo erased a two goal deficit and tied it up! The Sabres got nearly 40 shots on goal at this point and they weren’t done yet. In the third the Sabres scored on a powerplay when Kyle Okposo fed it to Rasmus Ristolainen nearly at the blue line and the OG Rasmus launched a rocket through the woods behind our even older friend Ryan Miller. Buffalo now had the lead. But they did something with it you may not be familiar with: they DID NOT sit back. They continued to play aggressively and that may have been more refreshing than the comeback itself in this game. Even Zemgus Girgensons got a good shot on goal in this portion of the game! Girgensons v Miller sounds like a skills competition matchup from 2014. The Pacific Division leading Ducks wouldn’t go down without a fight and the last minute or so looked like a real scramble. You might count five to eight Anaheim shots in this stretch depending on how generous you are. Hutton kept moving but one puck was well behind him and heading for the line when one hero dove in with his stick and gave it all to save this Sabres game. That hero was Johan Larsson! I am sorry Ducks fans but if you’re being foiled by Larsson you really got to consider your life choices. With less than 20 seconds left in regulation the visitors got it out of their zone and Patrik Berglund got his first goal as a Sabre into the empty net. That’s what we call an insurance goal. This game, forever to be known as the comeback in Anaheim, ended 4-2 Buffalo wins.
Anaheim has been strong to start this season but if you’re going to put money on one team in this league turning into an absolute train wreck before the New Year it’s probably these guys. I looked at this matchup and thought wouldn’t it be fun if a loss to the Sabres drove the Ducks to question what they have on the same night Paul Kariya gets his jersey retired? I am not going to try to comprehend the advance stat Corsi long enough to try and make a point of it here but the Ducks are in the quadrant of the graph that is fun but bad. Don’t ask where the Sabres are: it’s dull and bad. However, the Sabres displayed a lot of characteristics in this game that we should be encouraged by. They outshot their competition 45 to 28. They once again showed respect for the puck and allowed a miniscule amount of turnovers. The Sabres powerplay has been completely atrocious but if you guessed who didn’t capitalize on any of their PP chances this game you would guess wrong before realizing the Sabres we’re 2 for 4 on the powerplay. That’s a revelation. You don’t win this game without those two powerplay goals. We could also talk about how weirdly enjoyable it is for Ryan Kessler to get punched in the face by Zach Bogosian but I don’t think that is an encouraging stat of any kind.
The Sabres went 3-2 on this road trip. I was hoping for an over .500 record on it and they did not disappoint. There were certainly very concerning moments in Vegas and San Jose, even in the LA game there were moments the Sabres looked like they didn’t know what they were doing; but here we are at 5-4 overall with that scary West Coast Road trip we always fear in the rearview mirror. That’s something to be very happy about. The next game is back home in downtown Buffalo against a Montreal Canadiens team that you really got to beat no matter what their record is. I said Anaheim is the odds on favorite to fall apart this season but Montreal will facilitate their own high speed deconstruction if recent history is any indicator. Their also ranked amongst New Look Sabres’ ten teams you better friggin beat this season. Well that’s all for today folks: share this with your friends and leave a comment of some kind. Are the Sabres scary good or scary bad like my introduction today? Should Jason Pominville always be on the top line? Are the Sabres actually good?
Thanks for reading.
P.S. Keep an eye on the blog, there are a couple fun things in the works between now and the Thursday Habs game.

The National Team’s development team, Team Svenska Spel, consists of skiers between age 19-23. The team’s objective is to help those skiers who are between junior and senior, and who are not a part of A-laget.
Juniors at our skiing secondary schools get a lot of excellent training and support in their growth. However, the step from there, to taking a place in A-laget is often very large. For many there are no longer any natural training group to join and it can very easily be so that young skiers are lost after secondary school.
Team Svenska Spel’s purpose is to ease the transition from junior to senior by preparing the juniors for their future as seniors and support younger seniors with continuing excellent training and support after they have left our skiing secondary schools.
Sustainability and patience are key words when working with the team, where drafts are not only based on achievements. We also value growth potential, approach and attitude towards training in addition to results when we choose skiers for the team.
