Here are some more information for Solderless Breadboard:

Blood electrification is a process of utilizing an electronic device to apply micro-currents into the blood stream of a subject.

The process was first momentarily published in 1991 in the Science News and Longevity magazines. All pointed to a discovery by researchers William Lyman and Steven Kaali at the Albert Einstein Medical College in New York City. The information was further outlined in the collective patent for the process in U.S. Patent # 588783. The patent is titled: Alternating Current Supplied Electronically Conductive Method and System for Treatment of Blood and/or Bodily Fluids with Electrical Forces, it was filed on November 16th, 1990.

The patent describes the potential uses of such a method, in which its initial conception was for the purification of contaminated blood banks. The research proved that the application of micro-currents at the level of 50 to 100 ua (microamperes) directly into the blood or other bodily fluids safely and effectively neutralized all potentially harmful and pathogenic contaminating microbial life forms, not limited only to viruses but also effecting bacteria, fungus, and parasitic organisms.

With such a discovery, you may be wondering maybe why you have not learned of this methodology much earlier. Thank fully there was one person who felt the need to further expand on this discovery.

Dr. Robert C. Beck D.Sc. was a prominent physicist who established a very good career in dealing with electronics and technology both for private companies as well as the U.S. Government and raised the bar by introducing numerous technological advancements in the fields of his job. He learned of the research discoveries and decided to take the matter into his own hands and for this we should thank him.

With his extensive electronics background and over two years of self-testing and experimentation Dr. Beck released his peer verified research and information on creating his own type of blood electrification device, and helping others construct their own. His initial conception and schematic was much more elaborate and more difficult to put together in comparison to his later revised version, both of which are available in his printed lecture notes titled "Take Back Your Power!".

As an alternative to constructing your own, which has the potential of making interested users averse from trying this method there are a few retailers on the web offering blood electrification units for sale and often include the additional accessories necessary for application.

Thankfully the internet is a very supportive medium at the moment for multiple alternative and effective health-restoring modalities. A common search through mainstream sites reveals a good amount of information and detail on the subjects results, and user experiences with blood electrification. As with any potential option for taking care of oneself, make sure you do your part on researching the subject, the supporting evidence, and the answers to any questions you may have.

The resultant immune boosting effect of using this therapy make it a number one candidate for anyone serious about making an extremely positive result on the circulatory system. There are multiple concepts to understand about blood electrification and its potential benefits, uses and guidelines, as well as the application process itself.

Arduino - Assistance For The Novice

I've compiled a brief tutorial on getting started with Arduino for the absolute beginner. I'll cover where to learn, what to buy, and where to go for help.

Why should you crafters be interested in Arduino? The Arduino platform, more-so than any other way of incorporating electronics into your projects, is geared towards do-it-yourselfers. It's open source (both on a hardware and software level), so the community plays a large role in its development and improvement. Crafting is a community endeavor; individuals share tips, tricks, techniques, skills, and materials all the time.

Arduino comes out of the same spirit. On a more practical level, you may just want to make your crafts more fun, interesting, and interactive by introducing some lights, motion, sound, or simple sensors. Stuffed toys can become glowing night-lights or cat-chasing robots, fibers can carry currents to make smart clothes, accessories, you name it. There's also an overlap in materials between crafting and circuit building that can lead to some non-traditional works in either category: threads, fabrics, paints, and glues with conductive properties introduce subtle ways to incorporate electronics in your crafting practice. Read on to start learning about Arduino! Add your Arduino tips and resources in the comments.

Where to Learn

First and foremost is the Arduino website. It's a huge repository of helpful information, but it can be overwhelming at first. I recommend Massimo Banzi's "Arduino Booklet" PDF as a contained introduction to the Arduino and physical computing in general Link. Tod Kurt has run classes about Arduino before, and has put his class presentation PDFs online. They're very comprehensive and great for beginners.

What to Buy - The absolute basics for learning the platform

The Board: I recommend the USB Arduino board, pre-assembled, for first-timers. Make sure it comes with a USB A-B cable.

A Solderless Breadboard: For attaching other components to your board; you can pick this up at Radioshack or Sparkfun.

LEDs (light-emmiting diodes): Most of the basic tutorials involve lights. You can pick these up at Radioshack (in the component drawers, one should be clearly labeled "LEDs"); just grab an assorted pack to start with. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Wire: You'll need some 22 gauge solid (not stranded) hook-up wire to connect your board to your components. Different colors are a matter of preference. This is another Radioshack-available material.

Pushbuttons: Any switch will work, but I prefer small "normally open" buttons that can plug directly into your breadboard.

Needlnose pliers and wire strippers are both available at RadioShack, but check out Techni-Tool for some more options.

That's all you'll need to get started!

What to buy - next steps and general resources

General electronics resources for parts can sometimes be tough to navigate with their poor web interfaces, but you'll get used to the information overload. Tip: clicking on links to the "datasheet" will often get you a picture or drawing of the component, which helps a lot.

Parts and Supplies Retailers (besides Radioshack, which may phase out their components division fairly soon)

* Jameco
* Mouser
* Digikey
* Allelectronics
* Octopart
* Sparkfun
* Techni-Tool
* SuperBrightLEDs
* Reynolds Electronics

Conductive fabrics, paints, epoxies, threads: Less EMF

If you think you'll play with electronics more than once, I'd highly recommend purchasing a multi-meter. You don't need a super high-end one.

Is there an electrically non-conductive adhesive I can use to bind metal and plastic?

I would like to connect an LCD to a solderless breadboard. I'm planning to use an IDE cable to connect the 16 pins on the LCD's header to the breadboard. However, I need to add pins to the connector that will plug into the breadboard, and I want the pins to be secure. Any suggestions on adhesives?

good old epoxy should do the trick, almost all glues are nonconductive
