Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its various firearms, shooting sports, ammunition types, and history! Last week on The Rimfire Report we talked about the historical significance of what was collectively known as gallery guns – basically versions of rifles […]

The Truth About Guns

A holiday message from the MySQL Community Team!Planet MySQL

A new study published in the journal PLoS ONE has reported on the first human tests of an experimental therapy using sound and light to treat Alzheimer’s disease (AD). New Atlas reports: Over the last seven years, Li-Huei Tsai and colleagues at MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory have been investigating an unusual hypothesis. The researchers found toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease could be eliminated from mouse brains following exposure to flickering lights. Further research found the magic frequency was 40 Hz. When animals were exposed to both sound and light at that frequency, improvements in brain health were detected. Of course, these kinds of animal tests don’t mean much if they can’t be replicated in humans, so after further investigations revealed how this sensory therapy could be affecting a mouse brain, the researchers started preliminary human experiments. Working with colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital, two clinical trials set out to test the therapy in humans.
The first Phase 1 study recruited 43 participants to test whether this kind of light and sound exposure was safe, and did anything to the human brain. Each subject was monitored using EEG measures while experiencing a short exposure to what has been dubbed by the researchers as GENUS (Gamma ENtrainment Using Sensory stimulation). This preliminary study comprised both healthy and cognitively impaired subjects, as well as participants with epilepsy in order to evaluate the seizure potential of the treatment. After a short exposure to the sensory stimulation, the researchers found a number of brain regions synchronize with the 40-Hz frequency.
The second trial recruited 15 participants with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. Each participant was given a device to take home and use for around an hour a day. The device was essentially a small LED white board with an iPad in the middle and a soundbar underneath. While watching videos on the iPad, the LED light panel on the white board would flicker at a rate of 40 Hz and the soundbar would play a 40-Hz tone. Half the cohort was randomized to a sham control condition, exposed to a constant white light and white noise. Compliance was relatively high between both the GENUS and the sham groups, with participants completing the daily requirement of exposure around 90 percent of the time. After around three months of use the researchers could detect statistically significant differences between the two groups, both on brain imaging and memory tests. The researchers are cautious not to overstate their initial findings, the report says. "It’s early days for human studies […], larger cohorts of patients are needed to better understand the impacts of this sensory stimulation and longer trials will hopefully establish more prominent beneficial effects."

This week we are going to show you how to tie a snell knot, also called snelling the hook. The smell knot is an older knot that was originally invented for tying hooks with no hook eyes. Instead, these hooks had a flattened wider portion of the shank that you would snell in front of. Nowadays though it is still widely used in many different techniques. In freshwater, bass anglers often snell hooks and use pegged bullet weights for punching matted vegetation. Fly anglers use the snell knot to keep a straight presentation for tube flies when fly fishing. In saltwater, it is popular for targeting big game, especially when pitching live bait or dragging baits on the bottom.

The snell knot is a very strong knot that when tied on a hook with an offset hook eye can keep the hook and line inline making it easier to get a good hook set. With the knot being behind the eye of the hook, this knot does not slip easily when under pressure. There is also plenty of meat to the knot so even if the hook eye isn’t closed completely there’s less risk of the knot failing due to a bad hook eye. The biggest downside to the snell knot is that the line can be easily abraded and cut if the fish you hook have sharp teeth, this is due to the line being on the hook shank itself.

Step 1

First step as most knots is run the mainline through the eye of the hook, normally I use an offset hook but only have a straight shank hook for the demo.

Step 2

Make a loop with the mainline and make sure to pinch the loop.

Step 3

Using the pinched loop start wrapping the loop over the double line and shank of the hook, makes wraps towards the bend of the hook. Make sure to keep the loops from overlapping

Step 4

Make about 6 to 8 wraps around the lines and shank of the hook, adjust for more loops for thinner lines, and then wet the knot. Then pull both ends of the line on the knot and snug the knot down. Trim the tag end and you’re ready to fish.
