Historical background of the tubercular constitution
Almost 200 years ago, Samuel Hahnemann (Hahnemann, 1810, 1828) tried to classify chronic disease into certain "miasms" (disease energies). He attributed the basic toxic load to Psora (in Greek "the itch"), to Syphilis and to Sycosis ("fig-wart disease"). This work dates from the latter part of his life.
Even in ancient cultures it was recognised that all the chronic diseases that afflict mankind form a unified whole. Escaping from his opponents to Paris at the age of 80, Hahnemann tried to secure this knowledge in the 6th edition of his "Organon of the Rational Art of Healing" by adding a number of notes to the 5th edition. Due to the fierce opposition of some medical doctors to the notion of Psora, the 6th edition was only published in 1921. In that way the fanatically contested idea of Psora, which Hahnemann called the "thousand headed monster of disease" and which was dismissed as a senile fantasy of his, was handed down in its original form.
Among Hahnemann's numerous followers John H. Allen deserves mention, for his intensive work on the theory of the miasms. (Allen, 1996). Hahnemann and his pupils had already observed that suppressive treatment of disease would intensify and increase the miasmatic disease energies. It was further realised that, when inherited, Psora and Syphilis may completely merge together. The tubercular constitution is a "mixed" miasm and a result of this merging together. Allen calls it "absolutely the strongest of all disease states or conditions". It can be inherited or acquired and is also called "pseudo-psora".
As the tubercular constitution does not signify a case of clinical tuberculosis, other terms such as "para-tuberculosis", "tuberculinic" or "tubercular miasm" were introduced later. However, the term "para-tuberculosis" is nowadays used internationally, in a different sense, to denote an illness caused by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (Johne's disease in cattle).
Between 55 and 100 years ago clinical tuberculosis was widespread, and intensive research on it was carried out. In Berlin, Germany, Robert Koch pioneered the diagnosis and treatment (Tuberculinum Koch) of tuberculosis. His assistant Carl Spengler carried on his work and based his new methods of diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness on Koch's findings (Spengler, 1911). Above all, Spengler's work was concerned with the different morphology of strains of mycobacteria ("dualism") and with the close relationship between tubercle bacteria and the pathogenic agent of syphilis, whose bacterial form is found in mixed cultures from tuberculosis patients. Spengler showed that the presence of the syphilis pathogen can be demonstrated within the cells of an organism in an ultra-small and primitive variety - even when an infection by this pathogen had never occurred during the individual's life-time.
It was assumed that the general spread of "inherited syphilis" stems from the beginning of the 16th century, when a whole population was infected with a syphilis pandemic "imported" from America. Anyone who did not die of this infectious disease at that time, retained a residual toxicity in the body that was passed on through generations and, according to Spengler, would later show up as an "inherited virus".
Spengler developed the so called "Spengler colloids" which were named after him and are antigens from different bacteria and anti-toxins produced from the blood of highly immunised rabbits. With the help of these substances it is possible to diagnose various chronic diseases such as the "inherited toxins" of tuberculosis and syphilis (see POLYSANS, produced by the SANUM-KEHLBECK Co).
In a study on trans-placental carcinogenesis in mice, an extra-chromosomally transmitted susceptibility to tumour growth could be observed (Schneider, 1981). In the F2-generation only those animals showed an increased occurrence of tumours, whose parent of the same sex had been transplacentally exposed to the chemical carcinogen (DMBA) and had been crossed with a non-treated animal. This dependency on the sex and trans-placental exposure regarding tumour formation permits the assumption that extra-chromosomal influences are at work.
By the end of the last century the French chemist and pharmacist Antoine Béchamp had claimed (Béchamp, 1912), that certain micro-organisms could occur in various forms and stages of development. Under exactly defined conditions they would occur, ranging from the lowest forms to the highly developed stages of bacteria and fungi. He found that all animal and plant cells contain minute granules ("microzymas"), which do not perish after the death of an organism, are responsible for fermentation, and from which other micro-organisms could also develop. These microzymas would be present in every living species, in humans, animals and plants; they were eternal and indestructible and represented a bridge between non-living and living matter. Under certain or pathogenic influences these microzymas could develop into bacteria with putrefacient and fermenting properties. This meant that disease had its origin mainly within the body.
In the year 1997 Stanley Prusiner won the Nobel Price "for his discovery of prions - a new biological principle of infection". These prions are probably nothing else than the micozymas which were discovered by Béchamp about 100 years earlier.
Claude Bernard, a French physiologist and a contemporary of Béchamp, confirmed his results and found out in addition that not only the micro-organisms themselves are harmful, but primarily the "soil" in which they multiply.
Another contemporary of theirs at the end of the nineteenth century was Louis Pasteur. He claimed that the explanations of Béchamp and Bernard were arrant nonsense. He contested these views in accord with the botanist Cohn (Breslau) and Robert Koch's theory of "monomorphism" (meaning that each type of bacteria is only allowed one mode of growth and manifestation). His opinion prevailed among the experts of his time and still does so even in modern times. Nevertheless Pasteur said on his death bed: "Bernard is right; the soil is everything, the microbe nothing". Pasteur's private notes about his scientific research were kept secret from the general scientific community at his request. Not until 1975 were 10,000 pages of his laboratory protocols handed over to the historian G. L. Geison at Princeton University, who spent almost 20 years evaluating them. In 1993 Geison handed over his results to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston. In 1997 a book containing Geison's findings was published. (Geison, 1997). This book shows Pasteur's merits, but does not cover up the fact that that he manipulated some of his experimental results and contravened medical, scientific and ethical rules.
Fontes (Fontes, 1910) who had based his research on Spengler's results, delivered important proof of the "pleomorphism" of bacteria. He was the first to provide proof of the infectiousness of bacteria-free filtrates of TBC-bacterial cultures. As a result of his research Fontes assumed that not only the predisposition to tuberculosis could be inherited, but also the virus in its "filterable", granular form. He further thought that the latter could remain latent ("latent tuberculosis") or could develop slowly into the classic bacterial type.
G. Enderlein (zoologist and microbiologist, curator of the zoological museum of Berlin University, and microbiologist for the German army in Stettin during World War I) reported in 1916 for the "Friends of Natural Research", Berlin, about his time as a bacteriologist in the army and his research results regarding the development of bacteria. Owing to the prevailing conditions resulting from the war, his monograph on this subject was only published in 1925 (Enderlein, 1925). As he was describing morphological facts that had previously been unknown to microbiology, he developed a whole new terminology; however, this resulted in the procedures he described being difficult to understand.
According to Enderlein, microbes pass through a cycle which is specific to their species. The term "cyclogeny" describes the changes and the journey of pathogenic and non-pathogenic micro-organisms through all phases ("valencies"). The cycle starts below the limits of microscopic visibility, the viral sphere, then on via forms of higher valency like cocci and bacilli, to culminate in the fungal phases. The bacterial nucleus ("mych") has a special significance. Although this was already known before Enderlein, its function had not been interpreted accurately. According to the "basic Anatartic Law" fomulated by Enderlein, the increase in valency of the microbe depends on the "milieu" that is present in blood and tissues, which is mainly characterised by its pH value. Bacteria can either multiply asexually by division or branching ("auxanogeny") or sexually after prior fusion of cell nuclei ("probænogeny"). Sexual multiplication is essential for movement to a higher or lower phase. 40 years after Enderlein's discovery, the Nobel prize was awarded to Lederberg in 1958 for discovery of "polymorphy" and sexual multiplication of bacteria by the fusion of cell nuclei (Lederberg, 1958).
Apart from naming the various phases in the development of micro-organisms, Enderlein also succeeded in proving the existence of the most important symbiont ("endobiont") in warm-blooded creatures. He discovered Mucor racemosus Fresen(ius) 1870, in all its developmental stages from viral to fungal. In the low valency stages, the endobiont lives as a physiological regulator; in the higher valency stages it will develop pathogenic characteristics, depending on the environment (or milieu) that surrounds it. Changes in the environment which are followed by an endobiosis occur in all chronic illnesses. The endobiosis caused by Mucor racemosus in a higher-valency form is characterised by congestive symptoms (e.g. diseases of the blood and venous system, wounds, hearing loss and neurodermatitis).
Enderlein also found that the pathogenic higher-valency phases of the endobiont could be reconverted into a non-pathogenic phase by introducing low-valency forms while simultaneously treating the milieu ("isopathic therapy"). These processes can be observed with the help of dark-field microscopy of vital blood. (Schwerdtle and Arnoul, 1993; Bleker, 1997).
According to Enderlein, viruses are cell-free primitive forms ("filum") of the endobiont, from which bacteria may be grown. (For example: the tobacco mosaic virus, from which it was possible to breed bacteria after several months); bacteriophages however are "spermits" of the microbes (Enderlein, 1954).
The causative agent of the second electively pathogenic endobiosis which, in contrast to the Mucor symbiosis, is non-physiological, was identified by Enderlein as the mould Aspergillus niger van Tieghem. In its polymorphy and phase-dependent pathology this is believed to be a causative agent of cancer (Dechow, 1933) and tuberculosis. Vaudremer (1921) and Tissot (1925) had already found a genetic connection between the tubercle bacillus and fungi of the species Aspergillus (according to Enderlein, 1949).
The cyclode of Aspergillus niger, according to Enderlein, is a scission from the cyclode of Mucor racemosus (Figure 1).

(Arnoul, 1998; Rau, 1998)

According to Enderlein, the low valency phases of Mucor racemosus and Aspergillus niger are transmitted via the placenta.
The higher and high valency phases of Aspergillus are closely connected with calcium metabolism and cell respiration (citric acid cycle) and they cause chronic tubercular diseases in warm blooded creatures "to the right of the biological incision" (Reckeweg, table 1). Examples are chronically relapsing susceptibility to infections, tuberculosis, paratuberculosis, asthma, arthrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, cysts, ovarian and prostate diseases, as well as cancer. Among the tubercular symptoms degenerative diseases such as auto-immune disorders may also be found.
The particular significance of high-valency fungal forms in the development of neoplastic disorders was confirmed by Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. F. Gerlach, Director of the Bundesanstalt für Tierseuchenbekämpfung (National Institute for the control of epidemics among animals) in Mödling near Vienna, following detailed research. Gerlach was able to culture fungi from cancerous material of human or animal origin (including chemically induced tumours from animal testing) at every attempt (Gerlach, 1948). Later he also found that mycoplasma play an important role in carcinogenesis. From this it may be assumed that mycoplasma which, according to Mattman are barely distinguishable from CWD-types (see below), are higher valency forms of the Aspergillus-cyclode.
Tubercular diseases were given various names by Enderlein's contemporaries, without acknowledging any connection to the bacterial cycle. Scrophula, lymphatism, camouflaged tuberculosis (Patromikolas), masked tuberculosis (Willy Bircher), certain forms of rheumatic disease (Poncet), latentia, tubercular toxicosis, paratuberculosis. "Much's Granules" and "Spengler's splinters" also belong in this category.
The "Basit", "Linit", and "Ascit" stages of Aspergillus are the short and long bacilli of Sclerothrix tuberculosis Koch 1882, acidoresistant and non- acidoresistant, the cultivation of which was described by Enderlein in all its phases (Enderlein, 1959).
After Enderlein, Harmsen also described forms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis which deviated from the slender bacillary form: branched varieties, granula, acidoresistant and non-acidoresistant forms, mycelium formation, nuclear equivalents and vacuole formation (Harmsen, 1952).
Just as the low-valency phases of Mucor racemosus are especially suited to the treatment of endobiosis, so tubercular diseases can be treated very effectively isopathically with low valency phases of Aspergillus niger. According to Enderlein the Aspergillus-cyclode is an off-shoot from the Mucor-cyclode and therefore the medicine is also prescribed in a combination from both cyclodes.
An extensive survey of the numerous studies on polymorphic "symbionts", particularly in German speaking countries, was carried out by Windstosser (Windstosser, 1995) .
In English-speaking countries too, intensive research on the pathogenicity of polymorphic forms of microbes has been carried out during the last 40 years. Probably because of the language barrier, the results of earlier research remained unnoticed. Only in recent times has an effort been made by Canadian research groups to pool this knowledge (First International Symposium on Pleomorphic Microbes in Health and Disease, 18th-19th June 1999, Montreal, Canada).
The existing investigations on the properties and pathogenicity of the so called "Cell Wall Deficient Forms" (CWD) were recently summarized by Lida H. Mattman, Emeritus Professor of Microbiology at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan (Mattman, 1993).
"CWD" is used as the umbrella term for synonyms like "L-forms", "L-phases" or "spheroplasts" that can be found in the literature. CWD also covers the previously used term "protoplast". Figure 2 shows cell wall deficient bacterial forms of the blood under a dark-field microscope. The elements with the thick, white peripheral zones are erythrocytes.
Figure 2: CWD ("Mychite") in vital blood under the dark-field
(from Bleker, 1997)
CWD have special characteristics that are not present in classical micro-organisms:
Destruction of many forms during fixation with heat;
they usually require soft agar, grow under the surface and need a mature, autoclaved culture medium;
they typically grow within erythrocytes;
they are often serophilic;
most types grow best in a hypertonic and alkaline environment (ph 7.8 – 8.0);
CWD are able to revert to classical bacterial forms.
It is only possible to culture CWD under special conditions. The culture medium has to be stabilised with an extract of heart muscle, 15% inactivated horse serum and 3.5% sodium chloride.
The following are some examples of the intra-erythrocytal growth of CWD:
normal and physiological
Staphylococci, Bacillus licheniformis (in approx. 30% of all healthy humans)
Kaposi's sarkoma
Lysis of erythrocytes from 489 patients: the same species as in urinary infections
Idiopathic hæmaturia
Bacteria similar to streptococci; in contrast to this, children with nephrotic syndrome exhibited an elevated staphylococcal growth-rate
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Bacteria connected with nephrotic diseases
Crohn's disease
Pseudomonas, mycobacteria
Auto-immune diseases
CWD act as haptens and stimulate the formation of haemolytic antibodies (Example: paroxysmal hæmoglobinuria due to cold in syphilitics)
The formation of pathogenic CWD from bacteria can be induced by suppressive treatment. in-vitro their formation is possible through antibiotics, e.g.:
Inhibition of murein synthesis: Brucella, Clostridia, E. coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Listeria monocytogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella gallinarum, S. typhi, Vibrio cholerae, Vitreoscilla.
Mycobacteria (e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis)
Staph. aureus
Inhibition of protein synthesis, resulting in surface changes in bacteria: E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus megaterium, B. polymyxa, Serratia marcescens, Sarcina lutea, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonellen, Shigellen, Proteus
(Monobactam) surface changes in E. coli
Staphylococcus aureus (and at least 40 other macrolid-antibiotics such as Leukomycin, Oleandomycin, Spiramycin, Tylosin)
Staph. aureus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, B. megaterium, B. polymyxa, Serratia marcescens, Serratia lutea, Salmonellæ, Shigellæ, Proteus
As an example of an in vivo induction of CWD by antibiotics Mattman names antibiotic treatment of mastitis in cows caused by Staphylococcus aureus:
- apart from the classical bacterial forms, the CWD of Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus aureus and Corynebacterium pyogenes were also demonstrated as causative of bovine mastitis (Bergmann and Böckel, 1989).
- following treatment of mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus with Cloxacillin the excretion of classical forms of cocci ceased within a few days, whereas CWD forms of Staph. aureus continued to contaminate the milk for more then 30 days (Sears, P.M. et al., 1987).
Nowadays the induction of pathogenic CWD in vivo by using antibiotics is of great importance as antibiotic-resistant micro-organisms are widespread and can no longer necessarily be destroyed (Beyer, 1999). On the other hand CWD commonly escape from the immune system due to their lack of a cell wall and continue to act as haptens. To support the organism in the elimination of cell wall deficient microbial forms, the SANUM-therapy which includes SANUKEHL preparations should be the treatment of choice. (Schneider, 1999a; Werthmann, 1999).
On the basis of clinical research to date it can reliably be asserted that:
Micro-organisms can be of a polymorphic phenotype, from the smallest viral structures to bacteria and fungi.
CWD of micro-organisms (staphylococci and bacilli) appear physiologically in the erythrocytes of healthy humans.
Cell wall deficient forms can occur in vitro and in vivo under certain environmental or "milieu" conditions and can be pathogenic in vivo.
CWD pathogenic forms can live as parasites within erythrocytes and can be observed in vital blood under a dark-field microscope.
Suppressive treatment of disease, especially with antibiotics, can induce the development of CWD.
Cell wall deficient forms of mycobacteria are the real carriers of a tubercular constitution.
CWD are able to revert to classical forms of bacteria. According to Enderlein they can move through their cyclodes in both directions.
Pathogenic forms of micro-organisms can be rendered harmless when transformed into their non-pathogenic regulatory forms.
Homotoxicology according to Reckeweg
According to Reckeweg (Reckeweg 1975, 1980) the body's "major defence system" consists of 5 different mechanisms (reticulo-endothelium, anterior pituitary-NNR-mechanism, nerve reflexes, liver detoxification, detoxifying function of connective tissues) by which the body defends itself against toxins ("homotoxins"), which can otherwise bring about illness. Either the body wins in this fight and gets damaged in varying degrees by the homotoxins or it succumbs to the toxic effects.
These views of Reckeweg's are an extension of Selye's research on the Adaptation Syndrome (Selye, 1953).
The damage caused by the homotoxins manifests in the form of an impairment or blockage of the intracellular enzyme systems. In Reckeweg's system, the different grades of toxic effects are expressed as six different phases. During the first three phases (excretion, reaction, deposition) the excretion of toxins is successful, whereas during the three cellular phases that lie beyond the "biological incision" (impregnation, degeneration, neoplasm) the cells are increasingly damaged and become more or less non-functional. The three cellular phases often result from the suppression of acute illnesses. Numerous chemically defined substances such as antibiotics, anti-rheumatic drugs, analgesics, bacteriostatics among others, according to Reckeweg often have an irreversible blocking effect on the intracellular fermentation systems and bring the cellular phases four to six into play ("progressive vicariation"). These phases correspond to the terms "psora" and "sycosis" which were originated by Hahnemann, or with the "tubercular constitution". According to Reckeweg's six-phase scheme (table 1), clinical tuberculosis only appears in the degeneration phase.
The following authentic case example will serve to clarify the term "progressive vicariation". The patient is a young male whose medical history began in infancy as a "dysbiosis" with an acute, inflammatory, excretory reaction and developed over 16 years into a degenerative demyelinisation of the central nervous system:
2 months
Pre-toxicosis with Coli-Dyspepsia, diffuse peri-bronchitis, high fever
antibiotics i.v.and i.m., milk-based "health-food", fluoride

7 years

14 years
Cerebellar ataxia, hydrocephalus int., anal fistula, kyphoskoliosis, dwarfism, anus præter, mental and motor retardation

16 years
increasing muscular dystrophy, nystagmus, astigmatism, demyelination in pons and und mesenzephalon, strabism, unable to walk after steriotactic biopsies, patient confined to a wheelchair
further attempts at corticoid treatment; aborted after onset of Cushing's syndrome and aggravation of acne
According to Reckeweg the aim of a biological therapy is to enhance detoxification and excretion via the major defence mechanism. The reactivation of the damaged or blocked enzyme systems by administering adequate co-factors such as vitamins, trace elements, intermediate citric acid cycle catalysts and quinones is of the utmost importance. A biological therapy also aims to transform the "dangerous" phases on the right side of the biological incision into less harmful phases ("regressive vicariation"). An example is the induction of inflammatory reactions in neoplasma phases.
Reckeweg concludes that all natural healing operates according to the principle of regressive vicariation. The individual phases of the pathogenesis are briefly re-experienced in the reverse order of their appearance, beginning with the most recent events. This means that during recovery apparently new illnesses seem to appear (e.g. appearance of acute herpes during the treatment of a degenerative disease). Under no circumstances must these symptoms be suppressed. In such cases relief can be obtained by intensifying the use of excretory measures, by giving a classical homœopathic remedy that is indicated for a certain stage of illness, or by acupuncture.

Characterisation of the tubercular milieu
By "the milieu of the tissues" we mean the "cell milieu system", whose properties have been described by Pischinger (Pischinger, 1990).
Changes in the milieu can be characterised on various levels, for instance by dark-field microscopy or on an electromagnetic level with the aid of Vincent's system of Bio-electronics (BEV).
In the dark-field microscopy hæmogram of native blood changes may be observed in the morphological structure of erythrocytes related to their position on the right side of the "biological incision". The observations extend from changes in the shape of erythrocytes to forms similar to a "thorn apple" (see Figure 3; Schwerdtle and Arnoul, 1993; Bleker, 1997). These structures have been described, documented and named by Enderlein and they can easily be reproduced. For dark-field microscopy examination a special microscope is required.
Figure 3: moderate (left) and strong (right) infestation of native blood with endobionts (from Bleker, 1997)
Another possibility for the characterisation of the milieu is afforded by Vincent's system of Bio-electronics (BEV).
As was already known 100 years ago, the most important parameter for a milieu is the pH (Worlitschek, 1996). The pH represents the ion-potential for acidity and alkalinity and is the "magnetic factor" according to Vincent. The pH value is 7.40 - 7.45 in arterial blood, 7.35 - 7.40 in capillary blood, and in venous blood 7.30 - 7.35. An average blood pH of 7.2 is regarded as normal, but nowadays this is rarely attained. Based on regulatory reciprocal actions, the blood pH works in the reverse direction to that of the tissues, so that a blood pH of 7.5 is equivalent to a tissue pH of approx. 5.5. According to Enderlein the endobiont develops in the blood at a pH of 7.20 - 7.50.
Another important milieu parameter is the redox-potential. The significance of this parameter was discovered by the American doctor W.F. Koch (Koch, 1981). Koch was a physiologist and pathologist and from 1919 to 1949 he was director of the Koch Cancer Clinic in the USA. He introduced homœopathically prepared (6X or 9X) substances that contain carbonyl-groups such as glyoxals and quinones into cancer therapy and had to defend himself before American courts due to his innovative methods of treatment. As his results were brilliant, he was scarcely troubled by such accusations.
Koch assumed that pathogens such as viruses and antibiotics would be "anchored" in the metabolism as they reacted with amino-groups such as those of creatinine and formed polymers, which would primarily impair the function of the respiratory chain. He guessed that the hypoxia that was created in that way was the reason for the development of cancer and other illnesses. Therefore Koch developed homœopathic preparations with a high redox potential in order to overcome this hypoxia and to disperse the anchored pathogens.
Until now it has not been possible to verify the mechanism by which his preparations work, but Mäkinen and Mäkinen (Mäkinen and Mäkinen, 1982) were able to demonstrate within a biological system that the substance methylglyoxal has "photo-enhancing" properties at a wave-length of 300nm. Apart from Glyoxal, Methylglyoxal was the most important of the substances employed by Koch.
It has long been known that essential metabolic processes are dependent on emission of quanta of light. It used to be assumed that this was merely a side-effect of chemical processes, but the German physicist Popp, employing considerable technical resources, proved that photons are of the greatest importance for inter-cellular communication (Popp et al., 1992). The light emitted by living cells in the form of biophotons is very weak (low-level luminescence). However, within a healthy organism, it shows a very high degree of coherence, similar to a laser, and therefore has a high quality of resonance.
As early as the 1920's, communication by means of light between the roots of two onions had been observed by Gurwitsch. In 1928 Reiter and Gabór of the Siemens research laboratory in Berlin showed that the radiation wavelength of this communication lies in the ultra-violet area of the spectrum at exactly 338nm. It was of particular significance that this radiation could be antagonised by weak light with a wavelength of exactly 300nm. This was exactly the same wavelength at which Mäkinen and Mäkinen had also found biological properties. Popp proved that, in neoplastic disease, the intensity of the photon emission is reduced. The same applies to its organisation (coherence). Cells from induced tumours of laboratory animals had largely lost their light contact, as compared with normal cells. On the basis of experience with medicines which are obviously able to influence photon emission, their properties also seem to be altered in other chronic diseases.
In the light of the photon research we may assume that the administration of Koch's homœopathic remedies causes the cells to increase their emission of light and therefore contributes considerably to the restoration of the organism's regulatory abilities. For the treatment of chronic illnesses a combination of Ubiquinone comp. (Heel) with CITROKEHL in a mixed injection has proved especially valuable. This combination not only stimulates photon emission, but also cellular respiration.
Apart from a modification of the redox potential to an "electrical factor rH2" (rH2=2 x pH + 30 x E [electron potential in mV]) the French hydrologist Vincent introduced the conductivity and it's reciprocal value, the specific electrical resistance r [Ω] as a third essential milieu parameter (Elmau, 1985). Like pH and rH2 these originally served to determine the quality of water, but it soon turned out that these three measuring units are equally suited to the evaluation of biological substrates. Vincent expanded the evaluation of the milieu to include the simultaneous measurement of the parameters in blood, saliva and urine.
With the help of these three parameters it is possible to show four quadrants of the biological milieus for the blood (Figure 4):
Figure 4: Vincent's bioelectronics - the four zones of the biological terrain in the blood
(from Elmau, 1985)
The small box between the quadrants indicates the area of health.
Quadrant 1: acidic – reduced
favours the healthy living of higher organisms; it is the terrain for e.g. green algæ, simple microbes and symbionts.
Quadrant 2: acidic – oxidised
Has a disposition towards bacterial infections and to fungal infestation; is the terrain for e.g. lichens and fungi, therefore also for mycoses, tubercle- and leprosy bacteria as well as antibiotic forms of fungi.
Quadrant 3: alkaline – oxidised – hypertonic, which is the area of the tubercular constitution
It is precisely the area of chronic disease in which pathogenic cell wall deficient bacterial forms (CWD) prefer to grow, according to Mattman. It is characterised by increased release of free radicals and, according to Vincent, disposes the patient to chronic viral diseases and degenerative processes (c.f. Inoue u. Suga, 2008). The dotted, downward-curving line which is curved downwards within this quadrant marks the area of malignant diseases; the diagonal line within this quadrant is the "line of thrombosis".
Quadrant 4: alkaline – reduced
Finally, this is the terrain for pathogenic germs such as pneumococci, typhus, cholera, the plague, as well as for kelp.
Within quadrant number 1 a normal healthy life is possible. Approximately a hundred years ago the frequent occurrence of clinical tuberculosis was very characteristic; the condition of the blood at that time often corresponded to quadrant number 2. While living conditions changed during the last 50 years, a further move towards quadrant number 3 has taken place. Therefore nowadays the classical bacterial infectious diseases are rarely seen and, in their place, chronic viral diseases are on the increase, and so are degenerative and malignant processes. Mycoses, which are frequently seen these days, indicate a transition from quadrant number 2 to number 3.
Looking at the changes of the blood milieu towards quadrant number 3, which is the quadrant of chronic illness from the bio-energetic point of view (table 2), it becomes clear that in contrast to the physiological conditions a marked increase of energy takes place in the blood. However, as cell metabolism is blocked, this energy cannot be put to use by the tissues. For that reason energy in the saliva is decreased and only a fraction of the energy is excreted with the urine, compared to the normal amount.
Owing to these changes in the milieu of blood and tissues serious changes take place in the basic system according to Pischinger. Based on the energetic changes in the blood in chronic disease, it can be assumed, that sufficient energy is present to ensure the survival of cell wall deficient bacteria and cytoplasm. Like viruses they do not need their own energy metabolism due to their parasitic life-style within erythrocytes and leucocytes, but simply require the equivalent of their cell nucleus.

Effort [µW/cm3]
Should the pathological changes in the blood and body tissues of the population continue as previously and unchecked, it is very likely that the blood milieu will move into quadrant number 4. In this quadrant life as we know it today will probably no longer be possible. Incidentally, the condition of our pets and domestic animals is not so different from that of humans. Comparable milieu changes in the interior and exterior of plants also play a part in the development of plant diseases (Hoffmann et al., 1994). This shows quite clearly that humans, animals and plants are all part of one common ecological system.
The most important factor for milieu changes in humans is nutrition (Mielke, 1998); of especial significance is a high intake of animal protein. Furthermore vegetable foods only deliver a fraction of the nutrients that they used to contain a few decades ago as the soil in which they are grown is depleted.
As long as 30 years ago Kollath (Kollath, 1967) pointed out the result of an ongoing deficient diet ("mesotrophy"): "The situation is very simple: Following a diet rich in animal protein as recommended by Kühnau for younger as well as older people, those who follow this diet will move towards chronic illness and infirmity 'irrestibly and irrevocably', to use Kühnau's own words. If we can manage to convince people of the importance of a diet based on wholefoods, as I have suggested, then it will be possible gradually to regain the original state of health of individuals and that of following generations". Animal testing carried out on rats with a "scientific diet" had shown that the results of chronic malnutrition can get dramatically worse over only a few generations. This will show itself in the shape of malformations, stillbirths and finally extinction after the 4th generation.
As we know today, chronic malnutrition leads first to chronic intestinal inflammation with dysbiosis and, later, to a degeneration of the intestinal mucosa with atrophy of the villi (Werthmann, 1988a) and finally to the so-called "Leaky Gut Syndrome". This means that the intestinal mucosa becomes increasingly permeable to macro-molecules of the lumen, antigens and toxins, connected with an inflammatory-degenerative and/or atrophic destruction of the mucosa. As a result of the damage to the intestinal walls, the function of the gut as an excretory organ is seriously compromised. According to estimates in the USA, approximately 40% of the population there currently suffer from leaky gut-syndrome.
Taking the chronically inflamed and degenerated gut as a major cause of the tubercular milieu, we find that it has seven pathogenetic aspects:
1. Malabsorption of nutrients followed by flatulence and tiredness.
2. Absorption of large food particles leading to food allergies and new symptoms in the target organs
like arthritis and fibromyalgia.
3. Damage to the carrier proteins resulting in a relative nutritional deficiency which can bring out a
variety of symptoms, such as magnesium-deficiency-related muscle spasms or copper-deficiency-
related elevated cholesterol values.
4. Impaired detoxification via the gut resulting in an increased sensitivity to chemicals (MCS).
5. Impaired defence by immunoglobulin A, leading to a lowered immunity to protozoa, bacteria,
viruses and Candida.
6. Bacteria and yeasts can penetrate the gut wall resulting in infection of body cavities and organs.
7. Formation of antibodies, which can penetrate the gut wall and resemble antigens of our own tissues,
resulting in auto-immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, thyreoiditis
and other "incurable" diseases.
As approx. 80% of the body's immunologically active tissue can be found in the intestinal area, the tubercular milieu has a direct impact on the immune system. According to the American Food Marketing Institute, there is therefore a close relationship for the U.S.A. between diet and frequency of illness. (Source: Food Marketing Institute, USA, quoted by Reimerdes):
High Cholesterol
93 %
Cardiac diseases
88 %
High blood pressure
86 %
69 %
65 %
Intestinal cancer
60 %
Prostate cancer
35 %
Breast cancer
30 %
Apart from diet, other influences may be of significance in the development of a tubercular milieu, such as disturbance fields, of which up to approx. 80% are located in the head area (particularly in teeth, sinuses, tonsils) or psychological factors. Disturbance fields or a heavy metal toxic load (e.g. amalgam from dental fillings) are the most common barriers to recovery in naturopathic therapy (Kobau, 1998). Figure 5 shows the relationship of various organs to the teeth.

Most important are generally suppressive treatment interventions and vaccinations (Elmau, 1985); these can alter the milieu so permanently that the metabolism is driven further into the tubercular constitution.
One example is diabetes mellitus which is a degenerative disease of the tubercular constitution. It is clear that a marked increase in this illness has occurred especially in elderly American patients during the last 40 years (Figure 6). These curves run broadly parallel with those for other tubercular diseases and they also run parallel to the introduction of antibiotics, chemotherapy and vaccinations (Vithoulkas, 1998).

Naturopathic regulatory treatment of the tubercular constitution
Conventional medicine doubtless has its merits, and the aim of this article is not to disparage it. However, if medications are used which are known to favour the development of the tubercular constitution and therefore of chronic illness, the damage caused should be addressed by using naturopathic treatments in order to minimize the negative effects. Examples of such medications are vaccines, antibiotics and chemotherapy. Otherwise the widespread tubercular constitution and the anticipated move of the blood milieu into quadrant 4, according to Vincent, could signify a serious threat to the health of the population.
In conventional medicine, clinical tuberculosis is treated by combinations of anti-tubercular drugs. For other tubercular diseases such as cancer, even today surgical and chemotherapy measures are applied in many cases. However, gradually the realisation seems to be dawning that there are metabolic mechanisms that make a regulatory treatment of cancer possible.
Recently the results of a multi-centred study about the risk of melanoma were presented; this had been carried out with the support of "Deutsche Krebshilfe" (Project-No. 70-2112) (Kölmel et al., 1999). It was found that the "risk of suffering from a malignant melanoma decreases if an individual has experienced recurrent febrile infections"; "the risk of melanoma was significantly lower when the questioned individuals had had tuberculosis, severe staphylococcal infections (e.g. in the form of abcesses, inflammation of the mammary gland or of bone marrow), blood poisoning or pneumonia. The risk was also reduced when the questioned individuals had had a minor infection with fever above 38.5 degrees C, such as influenza, bronchitis, herpes or summer diarrhœa in the previous five years. The more infections the investigated individuals had had, the lower was their risk of suffering from melanoma. (Quote from a press release of the "Deutsche Krebshilfe", 1999).
These are things that practitioners of natural therapies have known for a long time.
Apart from the removal of obstacles to cure and a change to a wholesome diet, a naturopathic treatment of the tubercular constitution according to the guide lines laid down by Vithoulkas (Vithoulkas, 1998) should be undertaken.
Based on the investigations by Kollath and others, a fully nutritional diet consists of the following: (modified from v. Koerber et al., 1987):
Preferably food of vegetable origin (predominantly lacto-vegetarian diet)
Preferably unprocessed food ( food should be as natural as possible)
Ample consumption of uncooked fresh foods (approx. half of the total dietary intake)
Preparation of tasty meals by using fresh, gently cooked food with only small amounts of fat
Avoidance of foods that contain additives
Avoidance of food that has been processed by certain technologies such as genetic modification, food design, irradiation
If possible only using products of approved organic farming (according to the guide lines of each country e.g AGÖL or IFOAM)
Preferably regional and seasonal products
Food preferably unpackaged or wrapped in an environmentally friendly way
Avoidance or reduction of the general emission of pollutants and therefore of intake of pollutants by using environmentally friendly products and technologies
Reduction of depletion from refining, by reducing intake of animal foods; no meat from pork, hare or rabbit (Reckeweg)
Preferably agricultural products grown and marketed under socially acceptable conditions (e.g. fair trade with developing countries).
These recommendations were further amplified by the pædiatrician and general practitioner Konrad Werthmann (Werthmann, 1997), who generally recommended abstinence from cow's-milk-derived protein and chicken's eggs.
Owing to the frequent damage of the gut and the impaired absorption resulting from it, most patients need orthomolecular food supplementation until their intestinal mucosa is restored. This supplementation should also contain anti-oxidants.
A basic principle of naturopathic regulatory treatment of the tubercular constitution is that it can only be successful so long as the patient still has the ability to regulate. Furthermore it is absolutely necessary to support the excretion of body-waste and toxins released from the "Pischinger area" during the treatment.
According to Vithoulkas the three levels of the human being are closely interconnected and have to be treated simultaneously to be able to overcome the tubercular constitution. They are M (= mental-spiritual),
E (= emotional-psychological) and P (= physical and material).
Besides treatment of levels M and E with adequate procedures (such as spiritual healing, breathing exercises, behaviour therapy, psychological support as a part of anthroposophical medical treatment), the basic treatment with medical preparations consists primarily in a combination of milieu therapy, (classical or complex-) homœopathy, biophoton activation, isopathy and immune modulation. Treatment with SANUM-medications (see "Isopathic/Homoeopathic Materia Medica") forms an important connecting link between the material level P and the two non-material levels M and E.
By way of illustration, a medicinal milieu treatment for the regulative eradication of the tubercular constitution by Werthmann (Werthmann 1999) is described below. This basic therapy has proved its worth in the treatment of children and adults over many years. According to Werthmann, adults receive the following treatment:
1. Ubiquinone comp. (Heel) + CITROKEHL: Mixed injection i.m. once weekly
2. for two weeks: EXMYKEHL 3X Supp: evenings Monday - Friday; Saturday and Sunday
FORTAKEHL 5X one tablet to be taken twice
3. after two weeks for some months: Monday - Friday: in the morning 1 tablet MUCOKEHL 5X, in
the evening 1 tablet NIGERSAN 5X, Saturday and Sunday twice daily 1 tablet FORTAKEHL 5X
4. from the beginning of the second week: alternating daily SANUKEHL Myc 6X or SANUKEHL
Klebs 6X; 5 drops to be taken twice daily, plus 5 drops once daily for topical application
5. starting in week 3: 1 capsule UTILIN "S" (weak or strong depending on the constitution) once
every 14 days
6. acid-base regulation with ALKALA N and SANUVIS.
The mixed injection with Ubiquinone and other substances that contain "carbonyl-groups" as well as CITROKEHL serves to activate the photons in the cells and to enhance cell respiration. EXMYKEHL and FORTAKEHL help to re-establish the symbiosis of the gut and MUCOKEHL and NIGERSAN reverse the evolution of the high-valency forms according to Enderlein; SANUKEHL preparations stimulate the immune system to eliminate cell-wall-deficient forms of pathogenic micro-organisms (Cornelius, 1999; Schneider, 1999a; Werthmann, 1999). Finally, UTILIN "S" serves as a multi-potent immune-stimulant (Hartmann, 1990). Besides its general immune-stimulating property this preparation has a specific action in the eradication of the tubercular milieu. Therefore it is often used in the treatment of neoplastic diseases (Filion et al., 1999).
For the excretion of metabolic waste products and heavy metals from the "Pischinger area" the SANUM products CERIVIKEHL and especially USNEABASAN (Schneider, 1999b) are suitable; these are produced from lichens. The excretion needs to be enhanced for a few months; simultaneously the magnesium and zinc metabolism is regulated.
10 drops USNEABASAN (or CERIVIKEHL) should be taken in the morning, 1 capsule MAPURIT at lunchtime and 10 drops of ZINKOKEHL in the evening.
For the treatment of children the described basic treatment of the tubercular constitution is shortened and simplified (Werthmann, 1998b) as the ability to regulate is stronger then in adults. For infants of less then 1 year medication should not be administered orally if at all possible; instead topical application on the inner side of the elbow is recommended. Apart from this the dosage should be based on the number of years the child is old; one drop per year:
1. for 1 week once daily NOTAKEHL 5X drops or FORTAKEHL 5X drops for topical application or to be taken orally.
2. after that for several weeks: from Monday to Friday SANKOMBI 5X drops in the morning, Saturdays and Sundays NOTAKEHL 5X drops or FORTAKEHL 5X drops.
3. alternating daily 1-2 drops UTILIN N and RECARCIN N to be applied topically in the bend of the elbow.
4. in addition, classical homœopathic treatment with Thuja 6X.
The inherited or acquired tubercular constitution is a common cause of most chronic diseases. This had already been realised and written down by Hahnemann approximately 200 years ago. It has been confirmed by numerous other scientists such as Allen, Bernard, Béchamp, Enderlein and Reckeweg who investigated and clarified details. Although the existence of cell wall deficient variations (CWD) of pathogenic bacterial forms had initially not been recognised by conventional medicine, modern technology made it possible to show that they form an important substrate for this constitution. The triggering factor for the development of the tubercular constitution is mainly a change in the blood milieu and tissue milieu. Malnutrition plays an important part in the development of such a constitution. During the last 40 years generally suppressive measures in the form of chemical medication and vaccinations have become increasingly significant. After an improvement in diet and the removal of any obstacles to cure, the naturopathic regulatory therapy can in many cases successfully help to cure chronic illness by removing the tubercular constitution.

Brief overview of the syllabus/topics.
1. Introduction: what is new media?
2. New media and globalization
3. The economy and new media, new businesses, changes in old industries Eg The music industry.
4. The digital divide and patterns of use
5. Political processes and new media mediation
6. The 'dark side' of the new media, focusing on issues of surveillance, safety and security, examining conflict, fraud and pornography
7. The shifts in journalism associated with the new media
8. Mobile media and the shifts that mobility and portability introduce to our everyday lives
9. Social media: the vast majority of new media users are also using social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube
10. Games and gaming, understanding games culture as emblematic of the culture of the new media
New media has had a major impact on our daily lives. It has changed the way we do business, the way we play games, our access to information and the way we communicate. It has given rise to cyber crime, increased surveillance and thrown up new issues of safety and security. There is also an increasing divide between those with access to new media and those that do not. Understanding new media leads to an understanding of changes and transformations in social processes, norms, ideas and practices. The media are inextricably bound to society: the study of one requires the study of the other. This unit is therefore concerned with tracking and critically examining the changes in society associated with the new media. Students will be expected to engage with new media and the unit looks at the topic from a general empirical social science perspective rather than a media or theoretical standpoint.
Learning outcomes
Student should/will (please delete as appropriate) be able to
- Engage in debates about new information technologies and social change
- Understand issues of privacy and security relating to online media
- Critically apprehend the relationship between technology, new media and society
- Engage with new media and learn by interacting with the material
- Evaluate empirical data relating to new media and its uses
- Participate in on-line collaboration
Teaching and learning methods
Main ideas will be presented in a 2 hour weekly lecture/workshop in addition there will be a weekly tutorial session. A major part of the unit will be an emphasis on e-tivities capitalizing on the main features of Web 2; participation and collaboration. Salmon (2002) identified four main features characterizing e-tivities. First, they begin with a 'spark', a question, a challenge, or a small piece of information. This is followed by, second, online activity by individuals, which then is communicated to others who are expected to respond. This interaction is the third feature, while, finally, the fourth element is the feedback or response by a moderator. Whilst this uses a Web 2 approach it will be delivered via Blackboard.
Assessment methods

Nowadays many large companies have started to employ bug bounty programs as a means of bolstering their web security. These have proven to be hugely popular amongst the security community as some of the awards given can be quite substantial.
It seems, though, that some companies are more selective than others though when it comes to issuing payments in return for vulnerability disclosures, as appears to be the case with Robert Kugler and PayPal. (Kugler must be wondering whether bug bounties are worth it).
Kugler, a 17 year old student, claims that he discovered a cross site scripting vulnerability on PayPal.com and that he sent his find to PayPal Inc in response to their bug bounty program.
Unfortunately, however, Kugler then claims that he was barred from receiving a payment even though that web page doesn't seem to mention age as a barrier. It seems this was brought up, via email, after he made his disclosure though –
"To be eligible for the Bug Bounty Program, you *must not*:
… Be less than 18 years of age.If PayPal discovers that a researcher does not meet any of the criteria above, PayPal will remove that researcher from the Bug Bounty Program and disqualify them from receiving any bounty payments."
via zer0byte.com
Kugler has said that he has received rewards in the past from Mozilla – (see https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2012/mfsa2012-98.html and https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2013/mfsa2013-45.html) and that he is acknowledged as a security researcher for Microsoft (April 2013).
So is it fair that PayPal have knocked him back because of his age? I don't think so myself but then thats their prerogative I guess.
Update: it seems that PayPal haven't denied a bounty based on Kugler's age after all – The Register are now reporting that –
"The payments processing firm said that while it had denied the 17-year-old a reward, it was because another researcher had already reported the flaw."

Martin's Meadows is an open-spaces park in Andover, Minnesota. It is quite scenic and even has some hills to add elevation and a feeling of isolation. The trails aren't too extensive, but there is a lot of space particularly along the Rum River. Some of the coolest places are off the beaten path. I had been following the river off road for about ten minutes before taking this photo. This was in the evening though, so if I went back again, I would have been wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants. Mosquitoes were starting to appear by the end and I had to swat many away.

Spring at Lake Maria State Park
Rainbow Island, Lake Mille Lacs
Lake Mille Lacs is located north of the Twin Cities. It is a large lake (207 square miles) but not particularly deep for such a large lake, at a maximum of 42 feet. It is a very popular fishing spot. I hadn't been up there in awhile, and it was a nice gloomy day, so I got some pictures I liked. This is Rainbow Island, just a little bit off the shore. It is so close to the water level, it almost looks like the trees are right on top of the water.

Oil prices declined after the report of the American Petroleum Institute, which sent mixed signals about the state of the market. On the other hand, the decline was limited probably because good data on industry in China, where two separate index showed that business activity is accelerating. The US light WTI crude became cheaper by 0.24% to 53.88 USD per barrel, while the European benchmark Brent oil recorded a drop in price by 0.12% to 56.44 USD per barrel.
The American Petroleum Institute announced that US reserves increased by 2.5 million barrels last week. This was somewhat less than expected. The stocks of gasoline jumped by 1.84 million barrels, while distilled products is a sharp drop from 3.73 million barrels. The reserves repository in Cushing, Oklahoma, which is considered a hub for WTI, rose by 0.544 million barrels.
Today will come the official report of the Energy Information Administration and expectations are it surged by 2.85 million barrels in the week ended February 24.
The economists analyzes showed that countries in OPEC have reduced yield a second consecutive month in February. Then supply from the 11 OPEC countries, within the framework of the deal should lower yield averaged 29.87 million barrels per day, and in January was 29.96 million barrels per day.

Although I'm not an advocate of involuntary all-nighters, sometimes we don't have any other choice (that's why they're involuntary!) For a personal example, tonight is going to be a long night for me of chemistry homework, quizzes, and lab write-ups, and I definitely need advice on how to stay up – so I researched it and decided to write this article to share with the readers at Distance Learning.
There are a bunch of things you can do to keep yourself up, but probably the most effective are going to be:
#1. Stocking up on energy drinks
Caffeine, caffeine, caffeine. Can I please have more? Just be weary, because I'm sure you'll have extra bathroom breaks if you're downing four large cups of cappuccino. Mmm, but I'm not exactly sure anyone would mind!
If you don't necessarily like coffee, go ahead and try tea. If you don't like tea, you can try energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull. Either way, caffeine (and maybe sugar?) is what you're looking for.
#2. Study in groups
If there are people around you and they're all doing the same thing, you're going to be more motivated to do the same thing as well. This is why dorm room lobbies are generally one of the better places to go study.
My next favorite is the twenty-four hour Starbucks, simply because you know the only people there at three in the morning are the people on their laptops. Even though you aren't necessarily talking together (but let's face it, you're probably not doing that in your dorm room lobby either) – you have a mutual understanding that you all are in the same boat: work.
If you don't necessarily want to be at either of those places, here's an article I wrote in the past about unconventional places to study.
#3. Exercise
Although it sounds counter-productive to waste your time working out when you have things that are due the next day, contrary to popular belief, exercise actually energizes you. A sure-fire way to stay awake is to move your body. And I'm sure your body wouldn't mind the extra care you're giving it anyway.
If you're far too tired to do that right now,
#4. Try napping for intervals of 15-10-5 minutes. Wake yourself up during each interval, which should total twenty minutes. They say the best time to nap is between fifteen and thirty minutes to ensure that you're not ruining your sleep schedule – and causing yourself to be more tired. Fifteen to thirty minutes of sleep is all your brain needs to function at it's finest again.
If these things don't work, I don't know what to tell you. You know your body best, and you know what works for you. The only thing I can advise against is taking a substance like Adderall, which could significantly and negatively impact you.

"Why would anyone name their daughter Leah?" That's a question my husband asked me a week or so ago, after I wrote about Jacob being tricked by his father-in-law into marrying his ugly daughter, Leah. Ok, It didn't exactly say she was ugly. It said she had weak eyes…but immediately it contrasts her to her younger sister, Rachel, who is described as being "lovely in form and beautiful."
What this means is: by comparison to Leah: Rachael had a good figure, probably meaning she was not fat. She was beautiful, meaning she was not ugly, she was easy on the eyes, where as Leah was hard on the eyes. Poor Leah. And I thought to myself, I really don't know. Why would anyone name their daughter Leah?

Research & Development: Creating the Slate Pro Audio RAVEN MTX
The RAVENS are landing.
When Slate Pro Audio's RAVEN MTX multitouch production console started appearing at trade shows, the WOW factor was through the roof. People saw something they had never experienced before, or even dared to seriously consider.
On exhibit: A giant touch screen display featuring a powerful multitouch mixer (the RAVEN MIXER) that can control all major DAW's, along with a flexible and user-customizable, multifunction toolbar. A full-featured analog monitoring section with multiple speaker outs and input sources, smart phone connectivity, USB, multiple headphone send and cue options, and a lot more were part of the package.
The result is a console vastly different from any other control surface out there. And now that they're becoming available, early-adopting pros are installing RAVENS into their studios and going to work with them.
As captivating as the RAVEN is, its beauty is not just skin-deep. SonicScoop found out just how intensive its story — and philosophy — is when we talked to Slate Pro Audio's VP of Creative Operations Alex Oana, the Co-Designer and Product Manager for RAVEN.
Working together with Steven Slate and the company's dedicated team, Oana experienced first-hand the inspiration, intensive problem-solving, and hard work required for this hyper-ambitious fantasy to became an audio reality. Here's the way it went down:
Starting from the 10,000-ft. view, how does Slate decide what new products – hardware and/or software – to develop?
Most of the time product development at Slate begins with Steven asking himself, "What do I need?"
In the case of the RAVEN he had been working on a monitor controller he wanted for his studio when we met. I suggested to Steven that a studio hardware product like that should be built around the DAW. Steven kept saying, "Let's make it bigger, like a console" and I kept throwing in features like integrated USB, iPhone dock and laptop reference speakers which led to him hiring me!
We took our non-multitouch RAVEN X1, a huge confusing console that made no sense, to NAMM 2012.
Out of frustration I said to Steven, "We claim to be innovative, but this [Raven X1] isn't innovative at all. What would be innovative is if we made the Raven a giant touch screen so you can touch your DAW directly."
Three things separate Steven Slate from other developers:
1) He can't let a good idea go,
2) He won't rest until he sees an idea through, and
3) It has to be perfect.
My little multitouch idea that I had been dreaming of since I first started working with Pro Tools in the late 1990s started our journey along the "bleeding edge." After 18 months of blood sweat and tears we know first-hand what that term truly means.
From there, what made the RAVEN a priority for Slate to develop?
DAWs are amazing. As advanced and miraculous DAWs are, there's been no intuitive way to interact with them. Before RAVEN, working with a DAW was like trying to play a guitar with a trackball.
We looked around and it just seemed like everybody who should be making multitouch hardware and software was just sleeping. We really wanted the RAVEN for ourselves because using a keyboard and mouse to create music sucks and it's not healthy. My elbow, wrist and hands were killing me!
When we debuted the prototype RAVEN at AES 2012 we knew one of two things would happen – we'd be the laughingstock or people would flip out. Luckily people flipped out.
Steven said that Slate wanted to "respect the console heritage" in creating the RAVEN. What does that mean from an ergonomic, creative and sonic standpoint?
Think of a wraparound Helios console from the 1970s. It was designed to place every control the engineer would need within easy reach. As studio tools expanded the consoles got bigger, racks of outboard sprung up behind and to the sides, making it impossible for the engineer to work in the sweet spot.
Now all those tools, minus the microphones and converters, exist inside your computer and DAW. The RAVEN makes accessing these infinite tools intuitive and direct, like it was when you could reach out and touch your console and your outboard gear.
At Slate we firmly believe in the virtues of virtual. Virtual replications of console, tape, and stereo bus compressors…. All sounding great, vastly more affordable, instantly recallable, and facilitating collaboration.
What was the initial vision for RAVEN – what did you see as the big creative/technical opportunities that would result from a multitouch production console for Pro Tools?
It seems so simple: to touch what you see. Doesn't that just make sense? That's where it started. Talented software engineers and graphic designers create gorgeous, infinitely adaptable, virtual landscapes within the pixels of the computer display. Steven and I just wanted a way to reach into that world.
The RAVEN is compatible with every major DAW and will initially ship with Pro Tools control – Logic and others soon to follow. No matter what DAW you use, you've been handicapped trying to access all its features by dragging a mouse pointer from one place on the screen to another.
Right out of the gate, RAVEN's multitouch mixer and user-customizable controls are simultaneously familiar and innovative. Yet we are at the dawn of what is possible in multitouch interaction with software. I have so many ideas I want to do – ideas that will make working with audio, and other creative fields for that matter, more intuitive and fun.
Now think again about this gorgeous virtual world I talked about. Most of those graphic user interface (GUI) design methodologies are based on physical, analog hardware ergonomics. We will make the transition to a virtual mindset – create new ways of interacting with our software, sculpting sound with our hands… Sky's the limit.
Conversely, what did you identify as the most significant challenges you would face in realizing that vision?
It's crazy that Apple OSX, made by the same people who popularized handheld multitouch hardware, is not inherently multitouch.
We are using every trick in the book – and many new ones invented by our programing team – to create a seamless multitouch experience.
Please describe the major stages of the design process – what had to happen in order for the RAVEN to move from concept to prototype to finished product?
Finding the right collaborators
Trial and error
Overwhelming public reaction
A kick ass team
Creative solutions
A market hungry for innovation
Of all those stages, which proved the most complex to complete? Why?
Oddly enough, the digitally-controlled analog circuitry and the physical console itself were by far the most difficult. Building prototypes, making revisions, building more prototypes… hardware is hard. Software just seems easier and more fun to develop.
All aspects of the RAVEN were thoroughly researched. For instance, getting the right glide for the touch glass required a lot of trial and error.
Did you have any difficulties in making RAVEN interface cleanly with Pro Tools itself?

Now that the New Year has come and gone the countdown to midseason premiere to all of our favorite #CW shows will commence. In only a few short weeks, we'll get to begin speculation on how Laurel Lance came back (although the trailer kind of gives that away), what Rip Hunter has been doing with this time away from the Legends and cursing Barry Allen's name for messing with the timeline.
Which brings me to the point of this article. Why has Barry taken so much guff for messing with the timeline? Certainly, it became an overused plot device in the first two seasons alone, so the producers felt that they needed a way to limit it. It does show one of our favorite heroes in a moment of weakness taking the low road regardless of the consequences. But for reasons that I'm about to explain, it may be time to take a hint from Frozen and let it go (sorry).
1. Everyone In The Arrowverse Does It
By going back in time and saving his mother, #BarryAllen not only affected his timeline but also that of the entire #Arrowverse, sans #Supergirl as she is from a different Earth. Understandably, the heroes are a bit pissed with the knowledge that the lives they know have been affected by an act of selfishness. Barry Allen has taken flak from Cisquo because his brother was killed as a result, from Sarah Lance, and from Diggle, whose daughter changed into a son because the writers wrote a son in the previous season.
Now, Cisquo did the exact same thing Barry did in the crossover, and Sarah Lance is the captain of a time ship that alters timelines on a weekly basis. She even attempted to alter it for personal gain in the season opener of her show but failed. I can only imagine her ire is spawned from the fact that Barry succeeded where she failed. And Diggle lost literally nothing. His entire argument is that his child is gender swapped. This story could be played out as the first transsexual character in the Arrowverse for the dramatic elements. Time to get a little lesson in tolerance there, Dig.
2. It Makes Him More Relatable
Many of us have discussed the philosophical argument that if we could go back in time and kill Hitler, would we? Should we? The answer is usually no because of the repercussions. But this is a situation where a man is faced with saving his parents from death and someone who has the power to do so. A certain amount of weight is added to the debate when a physical possibility is added to the mix. You can sit around the house wishing you had an ice cream cone but once you hear the ice cream truck bells ring by the house, you are filled with all kinds of emotions. Starting with the possibility that you're going to have a belly full of nutty buddies in the near future.

3. He's Still Learning
Despite the fact that this iteration of the #Flash has been around for decades, Barry Allen in the Arrowverse has only operated for about three years. Granted, the Reverse Flash had a genuine interest in making Barry better, his reveal still made him question everything he knew and took away yet another father figure from his life. Barry Allen will eventually become one of the greatest heroes the multiverse has ever seen, but he won't get there overnight. He has to learn to get there and the only way he's going to do that is from his mistakes.
Final Thoughts
Barry Allen has certainly had his share of bonehead moves and will more than likely have more in the future. Hell the latter part of this season promises to be more of him screwing with the timeline in order to save Iris. But it's through these mistakes that he can learn to be a better hero. This by far has been his hardest truth to learn. To fix it, the man literally had to make a conscious choice to see his mother murdered and by proxy his father as well. That's borderline super villain origin territory. So cut the guy some slack. Also good to remember that he is a man that can vibrate his hand directly into your brain.
Can't wait for Jan. 24th? Here's a teaser!
Do you think Barry's suffered enough? Sound off in the comments below!

HARRISON COUNTY — The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) will soon begin construction of an interchange project on Highway 67 at Sangani Boulevard in Harrison County, according to Southern Transportation Commissioner Tom King.
The project, which is located in D'Iberville near the Interstate 10 and Interstate 110 Interchange, was awarded to Gulf Equipment Corporation of Theodore, Ala., for $7.3 million. Work is scheduled to begin in mid-March.
The project is divided into four phases. Phase one involves construction of the permanent connector roads that will be located in the northeast and northwest quadrants of the existing intersection. Temporary traffic signals and a crossover will be installed approximately 300 feet north of the existing traffic signals.
Phase two involves raising the elevation at the intersection of Sangani Boulevard and Indian River Road (near Ruby Tuesday's restaurant).
Phase three involves constructing a new overpass bridge, which will be in the same location as the existing intersection.
Phase four involves removing the temporary signals/ crossover and work to provide final roadway grading and grassing.
The final project will have no traffic signals on Highway 67. The new intersection will be a right-in/right-out configuration with no median crossover. Motorists will use the new connector roads to access Promenade Parkway and Sangani Boulevard. New traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Bobby Eleuterius Boulevard and Promenade Parkway. New traffic signals will also be installed at the intersection of Indian River Road and Sangani Boulevard.
The new overpass bridge will have a vertical clearance of 17 feet over Highway 67. There will also be a five-foot pedestrian walkway located on the bridge.

Best Fashion Trends for Winter 2015 Dec 8, 2015 by Sarah (Day Styles)
Celebrity fashion is always fun, but it isn't always practical, especially during the cold winter months. We've taken a look at designer fashion for 2015 and here's five trendy looks on and off the runway that will look good and help keep you warm this winter. So here are five in styles that can are great for walking down the street, not just the catwalk.
Lampshading has come to light recently and it's probably a trend you've seen but never heard about. It seems as though all of the "it" celebrities are rocking this trend this winter, and it is admittedly one of the more comfortable and cozy looking fashion trends. Basically, lampshading is when a woman pairs a pair of over the knee boots with a very broad hemline above, whether it's a flowy dress or an oversized sweater. We've seen the look most on the entire Kardashian-Jenner family, but Kate Moss is also a very big fan of the style. This look was first showcased at the Vetements runway show during F/W 15 and it has really taken off.
Velvet has made a wonderful comeback this year, especially in the winter months. This grand, rich, touchable fabric is not going to disappoint this winter whether you're wearing it walking down the street or to your office holiday party. We are seeing velvet everywhere this season, everything from velvet blazers to wide-legged trousers - people are even wearing velvet suits! It's a versatile fabric, as you can dress it up with a diamond necklace, or you can play it down with a pair of converse sneakers – it's really up to your own personal style.
Classic White Button-Up… With A Twist
A crisp, classic white shirt is always going to be in style, whether you're at your day job or pairing it casually with a pair of jeans. This year, however, it's taken a bit of a twist on the runway (even though it was on the runway, it's extremely easy to convert this trend into everyday street style). Everything from making it into a strapless top or even a one-strap top has been spotted on the runway. Experiment with your white tops until you find some neat news ways to wear it.
Pant Suits
Fall and winter are the perfect seasons for women to start wearing a pantsuit. A pantsuit is perfect for any occasion when it's tailored right and fits properly. This season we are seeing a lot of suit jackets with plunging necklines (acting both as a jacket and a shirt depending on the occasion) while others have a more traditional jacket paired with oversized trousers. Many designers are channeling a very menswear inspired look into the female pantsuit and it has become a huge hit.
Pilgrim Style
We are seeing a lot of Pilgrim style love this season, which isn't something typical, as Pilgrim's weren't that "fashionable" back in their time. However, runway designers are now taking pieces here and there and incorporating them into their looks. We've seen that a big trend is the oversized belt buckles, but check out the chunky pilgrim shoe (which also includes a buckle!). Frocks with higher necklines are popular this winter and we are even seeing some fairly tall hats making their way into the fashion scene as well!
This winter dress warmly and with style.
