Posted by press releases on January 4, 2012

Paro Therapeutic Robot

PARO is an advanced interactive robot developed by AIST, a leading Japanese industrial automation pioneer. It allows the documented benefits of animal therapy to be administered to patients in environments such as hospitals and extended care facilities where live animals present treatment or logistical difficulties.

* Paro has been found to reduce patient stress and their caregivers
* Paro stimulates interaction between patients and caregivers
* Paro has been shown to have a Psychological effect on patients, improving thier relaxation and motivation
* Paro improves the socialiazation of patients with each other and with caregivers
* World’s Most Therapeutic Robot certified by Guinness World Records

Paro is the 8th generation of a design that has been in use in Japan and throughout Europe since 2003.

Paro has five kinds of sensors: tactile, light, audition, temperature, and posture sensors, with which it can perceive people and its environment. With the light sensor, Paro can recognize light and dark. He feels being stroked and beaten by tactile sensor, or being held by the posture sensor. Paro can also recognize the direction of voice and words such as its name, greetings, and praise with its audio sensor.

Paro can learn to behave in a way that the user prefers, and to respond to its new name. For example, if you stroke it every time you touch it, Paro will remember your previous action and try to repeat that action to be stroked. If you hit it, Paro remembers its previous action and tries not to do that action.

By interaction with people, Paro responds as if it is alive, moving its head and legs, making sounds, and showing your preferred behavior. Paro also imitates the voice of a real baby harp seal.

Brian Welch Jams on Paulele Bamboo Ukulele from Zukulele.com

Posted by art fernandez: editor in chief on December 31, 2011

While i was recovering music files from Brian Welch’s late 2009 17″ Macbook pro, the ex member of KORN, strums a few chords on my Paulele Soprano Bamboo Ukulele. Brian’s internal hard drive was indeed, Paralyzed, corrupted and on the verge of dying. I quickly ran apple’s utility program could not fix the issue, nor could Disk Warrior. I did manage to recover the music files Brian so desperately needed and transfer his recordings to another external 230GB hard drive for latter editing. Brian thanked me for Milagro Mac’s music recovery service.

thank you mucho, Brian Welch.

Don’t forget to download Brian’s Paralyzed – Single Brian “Head” Welch on itunes.
and vist his website for further updates.

i Really look forward to visiting this booth of limited edition Irish Guitars at the 2012 NAMM Show in Anaheim California and playing a few Jigs and Reels. I hope there is a fiddle player close by.

Steeped in history, Belfast represents the home of the Titanic and town where some of the best shipbuilders and craftsmen spent hours of blood, sweat and tears to create a true masterpiece.
