How did Native Americans originally make their Musical Flutes?
My family makes Native American Style flutes as a hobby and we are wondering how the original flutes were made and what tools where used.
It sometimes depends on the tribe as to the material. Generally they’re made of either wood, bone, bark, and even pottery. A few reed instruments existed with wood and bark reeds, as well.
Making the Native American Flute - a comprehensive and detailed book (36 pages)
the book will teach you to make the 5 or 6-hole pentatonic native american flute. - large bore (inside diameter flutes) producing flutes with deep mellow tones
made using only a bandsaw and a table router. from rough lumber easily obtainable
Natural angular chelitis treatment can be used effectively to heal the corners of the mouth. This can be a particularly painful condition for several reasons. Firstly, it affects the area around the mouth edges, which is always sensitive. Also, when healing needs to take place, generally the area needs to be still to allow for new skin to form. Lastly, we use the mouth for everyday activities such as eating, speaking and drinking and so it is constantly bombarded with moisture and food particles, both of which delay healing.
Angular chelitis is more than just a one off split or cut, but tends to be characterized by a series of painful splits or lesions which can be cold-sore like in appearance. The condition can affect anyone, but is most common amongst younger children and the elderly.
The causes can be varied, but the bottom line is that a bacterial or fungal infection has usually taken hold and this is why it is difficult to eradicate. The edges of the mouth are prone to dampness and warmth and this creates the ideal conditions for a fungal infection to take hold. Common causes include wearing ill-fitting dentures, having folds in the corners of the mouth, pen biting or finger sucking and being in extremes of weather.
You can try the following natural angular chelitis treatment strategies which should give some relief-
* If ill-fitting dentures are a problem, have them adjusted professionally and soak them overnight to remove bacteria before replacing.
* For pen biters or finger suckers, try using some bitter anti nail biting solution to break the habit.
* Coat the affected area with a thin layer of petroleum jelly or unperfumed lip balm for pain relief.
* If the weather is cold, try to wear a cotton scarf for protection.
If you have had cracked lip corners or scabs for more than a couple of days, it is likely that the condition has taken hold and then it becomes very difficult to eradicate.
Fortunately it is still possible to completely cure this condition within just 24 hours by using a guaranteed natural angular chelitis treatment. Please visit Angular Chelitis Treatment for further information.

I have issues with expression and fluency in writing tasks, and often just cant seem to find the right word. I am 16, and have read plenty of books but often get stumped trying to think of the right word. Its always on the tip of my tongue, but I cannot think of it. Any suggestions to fix this problem before I commence my senior years?
There is this website that helps find what word you have stuck on the tip of your tongue. You type in part of the word and it gives you a list of the words that contain those letters or relate to the word. For example, you word type in a sequence of letters followed by an * to find words that begin with those letters and for words that end in a sequence of letters yo would put an * before them and it would give words that end in those letters. I belive the site is onelook.com

Two years back i was diagnosed with intermittant thyrotoxicosis,but was not placed on any medication.?
For a few months my TH levels were abnormally high,then a few months abnormally low,then stable,they fluctuate all the time.I,ve all the symptoms of an overactive thyroid so said my endocrinologist.But until the levels are continuously high or low they will not treat the symptoms.What more can i do to get it sorted because sometimes you literally feel like your having a breakdown.
I would find a better doctor to start. The key to any healthy recovery is having a doctor you like, a doctor that knows you and your history and a good insurance policy.
THE LAW OF TITIUS-BODE AND THE EQUATION OF ECOSFAR DISTRICT!
We can calculate as a semimajor axis astronomical units. The distance from the Titius-Bode and Keppler orbit in region where star´s L, I, F(gamma) is the optimal atmosphere for emerging (F(gamma) be increased by adding e- flux)
At first we calculate the vacuum of ecosfar Ce, used all around the cosmos especially in the visible Universe.
Ce = (Rj/M1) x (r1/Rj) = (Rj/M1)xtan(alfa) = 8Rj)/(M2)xtan(alfa),
Rjx= the distance of ecosfar distric from the star of radius r(o), following,
(ro)/(Rjx) = tan(alfa)
Rjx = (tan(alfa))/(ro) = (r1)/(r(o)x(Rj)
r1 = radius of Sun
Rj = distance of earth from Sun, 1 AU, (this value has a correct value to be calculated)
r(o) = radius of visible star
M1 = mass of earth
Then we calculate Rjx, when r(o) = 0.001 m
(r(o))/(Rjx) =(r1)/8Rj) and Rjx = (r(o) x (Rj)/(r1)
Rjx = (0.001 x 150 x 10 to power of 9 m)/ (6.96 x 10 to power of 8 m) = 0.2155172 m
(r(o))/(Rjx) x (tan(alfa) = Ce
alfa = 0.265850509 (degrees)
Ce = vacuum of ecosfar distric = 3.49924582 x 10 to power of -22
Rjx = ((r(o) x tan(alfa))/(Ce) = ((r)o)) x (r(1)/(Rj))/(Ce)
= ((0.001 m x (6.96 x 10 to power of 8 m))/((150) x 10 to power of 9 m))/(Ce)
Rjx = 1.326000001 x 10 to power of 19 m (real distance of ecosfar distric)
r(o) = ((Ce x Rjx))/((tan(alfa))
r(o) = 0.001 m
So when we look at the sky the distric of the ecosfar for 2 mm:n star is lying in the distric of 0.216 m ja the real distance is Rjx = 1.32000001 x 10 to power of 19 m when M(o) = M(1).
Semimajor axis is as follows,
a = 0.4 + (0.3) x 2 to power of n = 2.8
a = (2.8) x 1,49597870 x 10 to power of 11 m
= 4.18874036 x 10 to power of 11 m (value for planet earth)
((a(o))/(Rjx) = (a)/(Rj)
a(o) = 3.70284646481 x 10 to power of 19 m (x 1.625 10 to power of -20 = 0.60183051 m)
((a(o))/(Rjx) = tan((alfa(o)) = 2.792493573
alfa(o) = 70.2974 (degrees)
When we look at the palnet from earth, star has radius of 1 mm (visible), so this star near us is viewed from a planet orbiting alfaPeg Papiljott alfaPegScheat Keppler cones elliptic orbit whose semimajor axis is 0.60183051 m approxomately 602 mm (ie. star on the right and the left side of this distance). While viewing through a telescope you can see the blue planet alfaPeg Papiljott which is the Scheat planet.
Desalination Part 3 of 4: Getting Better All the Time
Continued from Desalination Part 2: No Salt, Please……….
In the late 1970s John Cadotte of America’s Midwest Research Institute and the FilmTec Corporation created a much-improved membrane by using a special cross-linking reaction between two chemicals atop a porous backing material. His composite membrane consisted of a very thin layer of polyamide, to perform the separation, and a sturdy support beneath it. Thanks to the membrane’s improved water flux, and its ability to tolerate pH and temperature variations, it went on to dominate the industry. At around the same time, the first reverse-osmosis plants for seawater began to appear. These early plants needed a lot of energy. The first big municipal seawater plant, which began operating in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1980, required more than 8 kilowatt hours (kWh) to produce one cubic metre of drinking water.
The energy consumption of such plants has since fallen dramatically, thanks in large part to energy-recovery devices. High-pressure pumps force seawater against a membrane, which is typically arranged in a spiral inside a tube, to increase the surface area exposed to the incoming water and optimise the flux through the membrane. About half of the water emerges as freshwater on the other side. The remaining liquid, which contains the leftover salts, shoots out of the system at high pressure. If that high-pressure waste stream is run through a turbine or rotor, energy can be recovered and used to pressurise the incoming seawater.
The energy-recovery devices in the 1980s were only about 75% efficient, but newer ones can recover about 96% of the energy from the waste stream. As a result, the energy use for reverse-osmosis seawater desalination has fallen. The Perth plant, which uses technology from Energy Recovery, a firm based in California, consumes only 3.7kWh to produce one cubic metre of drinking water, according to Gary Crisp, who helped to oversee the plant’s design for the Water Corporation, a local utility. Thermal plants suck up nearly as much electricity, but also need large amounts of steam. “A thermal plant only is practical if you can build it in such a way that it can take advantage of very low-cost or waste heat,” says Tom Pankratz, a water consultant based in Texas, who is also a board member of the International Desalination Association.
Economies of scale, better membranes and improved energy-recovery have helped to bring down the cost of reverse-osmosis seawater-desalination. Although the cost of desalination plants and their water depends on where they are, as well as the local costs of capital and operations, prices decreased from roughly $1.50 a cubic metre in the early 1990s to around 50 cents in 2003, says Mr Pankratz. As a result, reverse osmosis is preferred for most modern seawater-desalination (though rising energy and commodity prices mean the cost per cubic metre has now risen to around 75 cents). Experts reckon that further gains in energy efficiency, and hence cost reductions, will be increasingly difficult, however. According to a recent report on desalination from America’s National Research Council, energy use is unlikely to be reduced by much more than 15% below today’s levels—though that would still be worthwhile, it concludes. Sometimes, using desalination within water management may be the only way to ensure supply.
To achieve these reductions, researchers want to find better membranes that allow water to pass through more easily and are less likely to get clogged up. Eric Hoek and his colleagues from UCLA, for example, have developed a membrane embedded with tiny particles containing narrow flow channels, producing a significant increase in water flux. The membrane’s smooth surface is also expected to make it harder for bacteria to latch onto. Depending on a plant’s design, the new membranes could reduce total energy consumption by as much as 20%, reckons Dr Hoek. The technology is being commercialised by NanoH2O, a company on UCLA’s campus.
Meanwhile, the possibility of making membranes out of carbon nanotubes, which consist of sheets of carbon atoms rolled up into tubes, has also garnered attention. A study published in the journal Science in 2006 demonstrated unexpectedly high water-flow rates. But insiders think it will be a decade before the idea is ready for commercialisation.
As desalination becomes more widespread, its environmental impacts, including the design of intake and discharge structures, are coming under increased scrutiny. Some of the damage can be mitigated fairly easily. Reducing the intake velocity enables most fish species and other mobile marine life to swim away from the intake system, though small animals, such as plankton or fish larvae, may still get caught in the intake screens or sucked into the plant.
