Magnetic Underpinnings
All of the features of the (left side of) figure below - loops, dark coronal holes, small brightened regions - have their roots in the solar magnetic field. The yellow image shows the 171 Angstrom wavelength, which corresponds to the Sun's corona at about 1 million degrees, and the black and white magnetogram image shows the magnetic field. (These are now available on the SDO web site every day.) Black is where the magnetic field is pointing towards the Sun, and white is where the magnetic field is pointing away from the Sun. The magnetic field is created in the interior, and when the field emerges it can form sunspots. However, most of the Sun is covered by tiny magnetic field elements, which connect to the "quiet" features seen in the coronal image.

Indoor Waterfall Water Feature Fountain - Features / Waterfalls / Fountains
Indoor waterfalls dramatically improve ambiance by bringing the sights and sounds of a modern waterfall into your home or office. The sound of indoor fountains are associated with beautiful nature settings, peaceful vacations and meditative tranquility. An indoor waterfall can provide many health benefits as well. The flow of water captures airborne particles and dust from the air. The slow evaporation of water releases beneficial negative ions into the air and acts as a natural humidifier. For more sensitive environments or healthcare settings we offer a line of indoor fountains incorporating specialized precautions against bacteria and microorganisms. These options include Saniguard coatings, ultraviolet light sterilization systems and reverse osmosis systems.

Photographic techniques capture electromagnetic wavelengths beyond human vision, revealing features invisible to the naked eye. These signals are processed into interpretable forms using methods like color mapping.
Pink lacks a specific electromagnetic wavelength, while grey poses a limitation due to its representation of only intensity—a blend of light and dark without spectral specificity. Imaging techniques reliant on spectral variation produce identical results for greyscale images unless non-visible data is present. Deviations from this uniformity may indicate errors, misinterpretations, or unknown phenomena.
Contention persists over analytical debates, including dismissible claims like Van Allen belt dangers and contested evidence of lunar mirrors. The precision of laser reflections targeting a moving 3x3-foot marker on the Moon highlights technical skill but often fails to resolve skepticism. For instance, a 0.1° shift moves a laser spot 670 km across the Moon's surface.
Forensic analysis (2022, 2023) of Apollo 11–17 photographs assessed authenticity claims. Images of humans in space, Earth, and the Moon's distant views were validated, but Moon landing visuals showed variations, suggesting diverse techniques may have replicated certain elements.
PEMi (Photoelectromagnetic Image) software enhances forensic analysis by differentiating natural and artificial light sources, revealing hidden features. Each PEMi-ID links to original sources, ensuring traceability and comparison.

In April 2016 Amazon launched the Kindle Oasis. When I first started writing this Amazon Kindle Oasis Review, I fully expected to be archiving the Amazon Voyage review given it’s specification and price point.
For now anyway it looks like the Kindle Oasis is an entirely new device. The first thing I’d like to say about this, is at the time of writing we have four Kindles to chose from and each one has various options, like 3G or WiFi only and also do I want one with sponsored advertisements on it or not?
Amazon normally get the marketing spot on, it’s why they are the giant that they are. However, I am not sure they have got this right. It seems to confuse people more than anything having this number of devices to chose from.
There are currently four models of Kindle on sale, I am not sure if this is one too many.
So with my initial concern out of the way let’s get down to the details.
What’s new with the Kindle Oasis?
The Kindle Oasis has had the battery moved to the side as you can see from the image below:
This means the device can be held with the thick bit in the palm of your hand. Not only does this make it more comfortable than the other versions of the device, but it’s also the lightest Kindle to date. So reading books on the Oasis is the best ereader experience on the market.
The downside it that battery life has suffered a little but Amazon have come up with an inventive way to get around this. The Kindle Oasis comes with a case that also doubles up as a battery boost.
The Kindle Oasis comes with a case that also acts as an additional battery.
We have seen this concept used in the smartphone world for some time and now Amazon have brought the same concept to the ereader market.
Difference between Kindle Oasis and Kindle Voyage
The previous high end Kindle was the Kindle Voyage. The Kindle Oasis now sits in the category and given that it starts at $289 / £ 269 its £100 / $90 more expensive. You could buy a Kindle Voyage and a Kindle and still have money left over.
The specification of the two devices is almost identical, the biggest difference is the Oasis is thinner, lighter and comes with a cover that also charges the device. Maybe we will see prices drop over time but this is definitely high end tech that we are dealing with when it comes to the Oasis.
CLICK TO READ CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Amazon has traditionally tried to make their devices as cheap as possible, their strategy as a content creator is to make money from content. Whilst the technology in their devices can’t be faulted, the quality of the components used can sometimes feel cheap.
The Oasis feels classy, like a high end Samsung or Apple device. They don’t seem to have cut any corners here, hence the hefty price tag.
The Screen
In my opinion most electronic devices live and die by their screen. Whilst the casing on a Kindle has always felt a bit cheap, the screens are a delight. Not only does the casing feel high end the same is true with the screen.
The screen is 300 pixels per inch and it features 60% more LEDs than the Kindle Voyage. As a result the Oasis is an absolute delight to read a book on.
Ereaders feature a touch screen interface and if you’re used to using a tablet then as a word of warning an ereader is nowhere near as responsive as a tablet. It probably doesn’t need to be but I can see future devices improving massively in this area.
Software
The homepage displays the book that you are currently reading, in addition it pulls your suggestions in from Goodreads. Buying a book from the Amazon Store is a piece of cake, just a few taps and your latest purchase is downloaded to your device.
Whispersync is amazing, it synchronises your books across all devices, so if you are reading using the Kindle App on your smartphone, tablet or desktop app then you can pick up where you left off. Nine fonts are available to choose from and you can make the font bigger or smaller to suit your taste and eyesight.
Like most technology these days, it’s integrated with Twitter and Facebook so you can share your thoughts whilst you are reading.
Right Handed or Left Handed
The Oasis has an accelerometer built into it much like a smartphone or tablet. What this means is that if you are right handed or left handed, it doesn’t matter. The Oasis will detect that you have changed hands and rotate the screen. Very clever and very useful.
A case with a battery
The Oasis comes with a case that attaches magnetically to body of the ereader. Very similar to the case that comes with the iPad. As well as protecting the Oasis, the case doubles up as a battery, this helps to overcome the issue of a smaller battery than the one you normally find in the Kindle.
Once the cover is attached the battery in both the Kindle and the cover is charged at the same time, when not on charge, the battery in the cover is used before the battery in the Oasis.
There are three choices of cover available, walnut, merlot and black. One of the major drawbacks is that you won’t want to have an Oasis without one of these cases, what makes technology fun is being able to personalise it with your own accessories. I can’t see many third party manufacturers producing a case for the Oasis.

DUMBO, Brooklyn
Features: Nineteen bays on Bridge Street, nine bays on Water Street, and nine bays on Front Street; large segmental-arch openings separated by brick piers; end bays on Bridge Street narrower than other bays; building reflects slight slope of site, with the basement only partially above sidewalk level on Front Street rising to a full story on Water Street; multi-pane metal windows with operable awnings; iron tie rods; corbelled cornice; pedestrian entrance in westernmost bays on Front Street and Water Street; bluestone stairs at pedestrian entrance on Water Street; three fire escapes on Bridge Street.
Significant alterations: Two corner bays on Front Street partially filled in and converted into loading docks on first floor; eighth bay on Water Street partially filled in and converted into vehicular entrance.
History: The western portion of this block was home to the Union White Lead Works (later the National Lead Company) which began purchasing property on the block as early as 1837. The lead company’s property was sold to James and John H. Hanan in 1893. Although already occupied by a factory, James Hanan and his son John chose to demolish the existing buildings and replace it with a new factory for the manufacturing of shoes. Hanan initially announced construction of a seven-story structure; he actually built a five-story factory. Even before purchasing the DUMBO property, James Hanan was a resident of Brooklyn, living in a large mansion at 45 Eighth Avenue (demolished) in Park Slope. James Hanan (1819-1897) was born in Ireland and learned the shoe trade from his father. In 1849 he moved to America and in 1854 established a small shoemaking business in New York City. In about 1865, his son, John Henry Hanan (1849-1920), entered his father’s firm, and in 1882 the company became Hanan & Son.
The Hanan Company was among the first to stamp the firm’s name on every shoe, a daring idea at a time when most people still sought shoes handmade by the dealer. The firm was successful and in 1888 Hanan began opening retail stores to sell the factory’s product directly to consumers.
In 1894, the company had stores in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, New Haven, Buffalo, Chicago, and St. Paul. By 1914 the firm had thirteen retail stores in the United States and Europe (apparently in London and Paris).
Shoe manufacturing was a major industry in Brooklyn in the late nineteenth century, with 65 factories doing a combined business of $2,300,000 in 1894; one-third of that business was done at the Hanan factory. The manufacture of a pair of shoes began on the upper floor of the factory where thin leather uppers were cut from patterns; women then stitched the uppers together on sewing machines; boys then took the uppers and smoothed the seams. The uppers were then moved to the third floor where lasters worked. The uppers were tacked to lasts and leather attached to the last mold to create the form of the bottom of the shoe. The bottom and upper were sewn together and then the shoes proceed to men who inserted the insoles, largely by machine. Then glue was placed on the insole and another employee added the heavy sole, again by machine. The shoes now moved sown to the next floor where heels were nailed on by machine and where soles and heels were trimmed. Finally the shoes moved to the lower floor where they were washed, cleaned, and boxed. On this lower floor, machines also stamped out the soles. The company’s offices were on the first floor facing Front Street.
In 1894, when the description of the manufacturing process was written, there were between three and four hundred employees in the factory, although the article notes that there was capacity for 600 people. In 1913 the company employed 1,131 people in its Brooklyn factory (871 men,210 women, and 50 office workers). John Hanan also owned shoe companies in other cities and served as president of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’ Association. He was also the founder of the United Shoe Machinery Corporation, which manufactured machines for use in show factories. After John Hanan’s death, the firm was taken over by his sons Herbert Wilmer Hanan (1872-1933) and Addison Garthwaite Hanan (1876-1923) and grandson Robert Wilmer Hanan (1903-1933). The company went bankrupt in 1935. Old signs extant on the building in 2000 recorded some of the complex’s later occupants: Starlite Lamp Shade Company, Fashion Decor Lamp Shade Company, Washington Garter Corporation, National Leather Manufacturing Company, Gotham Furniture Frame Company, Modern Box Company, Star Fastener Company, Embassy Archives Center, Melcon Design Company, Shaw Television Corporation, Deluxe Novelty Company (DLX Industries), and Latex Specialties.
The simple brick facade, articulated by large segmental openings, simple brick piers, and corbelled cornice, marks 54 Bridge Street as a significant example of transition from the American Round Arch style to the daylight factory. This, together with its slow-burning mill construction, makes it representative of American factory architecture of this period and contributes to the architectural and historical character of the DUMBO Historic District. Built in 1893, during a major period of development when manufacturers such as Hanan & Son were making DUMBO into one of the city’s most important industrial neighborhoods, the structure contributes to the district through its architecture, structure, and the fact that its owners played a significant role in the area’s history.

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was published in Great Britain. It features the usual execrable poem that seems to be a mandatory feature of early greetings cards.
The card was posted in Manchester using a ½d. stamp on Thursday the 27th. July 1916. It was sent to:
Miss E. Hallam,
43, Oakfield Street,
Altrincham.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"To wish you very many
Happy Returns of the
Day.
Love Phyllis."
The Battle of Delville Wood
So what else happened on the day that Phyllis posted the card to Elsie?
Well, on the 27th. July 1916, a massive artillery barrage by the British destroyed much of the German defenses in Delville Wood, with patrols describing:
"A horrible scene of chaos
and destruction".
However despite horrific losses, German forces recovered and launched a counter-assault on the eastern side of the wood.
-- 'At Delville'
'At Delville' is a poem written by Robert Ernest Vernède in 1916. He was Second Lieutenant in a battalion of The Rifle Brigade.
Robert was wounded during the Battle of the Somme, and was killed in action at Havrincourt on the 9th April 1917.
He is buried in Le Bucquière Communal Cemetery Extension. This poem was found among his belongings after his death.
'At Delville I lost three Sergeants
And never within my ken
Had one of them taken thought for his life
Or cover for aught but his men.
Not for two years of fighting
Through that devilish strain and noise;
Yet one of them called out as he died -
"I've been so ambitious, boys"...
And I thought to myself, "Ambitious!"
Did he mean that he longed for power?
But I knew that he'd never thought of himself
Save in his dying hour.
And one left a note for his mother,
Saying he gladly died
For England, and wished no better thing..
How she must weep with pride.
And one with never a word fell,
Talking's the one thing he'd shirk,
But I never knew him other than keen
For things like danger and work.
Those Sergeants I lost at Delville
On a night that was cruel and black,
They gave their lives for England's sake,
They will never come back.
What of the hundreds in whose hearts
Thoughts no less splendid burn?
I wonder what England will do for them
If ever they return?'
The Execution of Charles Fryatt
Also on that day, English civilian ferry captain Charles Fryatt was executed at Bruges, Belgium, after a German court-martial condemned him for attempting to ram a U-boat in 1915.
Keenan Wynn
The 27th. July 1916 also marked the birth in NYC of the American character actor Keenan Wynn.
Keenan is known for his character supporting roles in films such as Annie Get Your Gun and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.
His expressive face was his stock-in-trade; although he rarely carried the lead role, he had prominent billing in most of his film and television roles.
-- Keenan Wynn - The Early Years
Francis Xavier Aloysius James Jeremiah Keenan Wynn was the son of vaudeville comedian Ed Wynn and his wife, the former Hilda Keenan who was a minor actress. His father was Jewish and his mother was of Irish Catholic background.
He took his stage name from his maternal grandfather, Frank Keenan, one of the first Broadway actors to star in Hollywood.
During the height of his father's Broadway popularity, Keenan grew up in the lap of luxury, and was educated at St. John's Military Academy.
-- Keenan Wynn's Theatre and Radio Work
Wynn began his career as a stage actor. He appeared in several plays on Broadway, including Remember the Day (1935), Black Widow (1936), Hitch Your Wagon (1937), The Star Wagon (1938), One for the Money (1939), Two for the Show (1940), and The More the Merrier (1941).
Wynn starred in the radio show The Amazing Mr. Smith in 1941. He played the title role, a carefree young man who runs into trouble galore and becomes an involuntary detective.
-- Keenan Wynn's Film and Television Work
Wynn appeared in hundreds of films and television series between 1934 and 1986. He was a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer contract player during the 1940's and 1950's.
He had a brief role as a belligerent, unsympathetic drunk in the wartime romance The Clock (1945). Arguably his most dynamic performance was a small role in The Hucksters (1948) with Clark Gable.
Keenan's early postwar credits include The Three Musketeers (1948), playing D'Artagnan's servant; Annie Get Your Gun (1950); Royal Wedding (1951); Kiss Me, Kate (1953); The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956); The Absent-Minded Professor (1961); The Americanization of Emily (1964) and Dr. Strangelove (1964).
The Wynns, father and son, both appeared in the original 1956 Playhouse 90 television production of Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight. Keenan had helped his father overcome professional collapse, a harrowing divorce, and a nervous breakdown to return to work a decade earlier, and he now helped convince Serling that the elder Wynn should play the wistful trainer.
Both Keenan and his father also appeared in a subsequent TV drama called The Man in the Funny Suit (1960), which detailed the problems they had experienced while working on that series. In it, the Wynns, Serling, and many of the cast and crew played themselves.
Keenan also featured in another Rod Serling production, a Twilight Zone episode entitled, "A World of His Own" (1960) as playwright Gregory West, who uniquely caused series creator Rod Serling to disappear.
In 1959 Wynn starred in S. J. Perelman's Hollywood satire, "Malice in Wonderland", broadcast on NBC's prestigious Sunday afternoon anthology series Omnibus.
He had a leading role in the third Beach Party movie, Bikini Beach (1964) as a scheming newspaper publisher who wants to banish the local young people. Later he played Hezakiah in the comedy film The Great Race (1965).
Wynn took a dramatic turn as Yost in the crime drama Point Blank (1967) with Lee Marvin.
Keenan was the voice of the Winter Warlock in Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970). He also appeared in several Disney films, including Snowball Express (1972), Herbie Rides Again (1974) and The Shaggy D.A. (1976).
He appeared as villainous businessman Alonzo Hawk in three Disney films – The Absent-Minded Professor, Son of Flubber, and Herbie Rides Again.
Keenan also appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's musical Finian's Rainbow (1968), Sergio Leone's epic western Once Upon a Time in the West (also 1968), and Robert Altman's Nashville (1975).
During this time, his guest television roles included Alias Smith and Jones (1971–1972), Emergency! (1975), Movin' On (1975) and The Bionic Woman (1978).
Wynn appeared in ten episodes of TV's Dallas during the 1979–1980 season, playing the role of former Ewing family partner-turned-enemy Digger Barnes.
Wynn was initially cast in Superman (1978) to play Perry White (the boss of Clark Kent and Lois Lane at the Daily Planet) in April 1977. However by June 1977 (production had moved to Pinewood Studios in England), Wynn collapsed from exhaustion and was rushed to a hospital. He was replaced by Jackie Cooper.
Keenan played Charles Picker Dobbs in a 1982 episode of The Love Boat. In 1983, he guest-starred in one of the last episodes of Taxi, and Quincy, M.E. In 1984. He also starred in the television film Call to Glory, which later became a weekly television series.
-- Keenan Wynn's Personal Life
Wynn was married to former stage actress Eve Lynn Abbott (1914–2004) until their divorce in 1947, whereupon Abbott married actor Van Johnson, one of the couple's closest friends.
Abbott contended that her marriage to Wynn was a happy one, but that her divorce and remarriage were engineered by MGM studio boss Louis B. Mayer, who refused to renew Wynn's contract unless Abbott divorced him and married Johnson, who was the subject of rumors that he was homosexual.
One son, the actor and writer Ned Wynn (born Edmond Keenan Wynn), wrote the autobiographical memoir We Will Always Live In Beverly Hills.
Keenan's other son, Tracy Keenan Wynn, is a screenwriter whose credits include The Longest Yard and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (both 1974).
His daughter Hilda was married to Paul Williams, and his granddaughter is the actress Jessica Keenan Wynn.
-- Keenan Wynn's Later Life and Death
Although his later years were marred by a severe case of tinnitus (a ringing in the ear that blocks out exterior sound), Keenan was able to continue acting until the very end. One of his last roles was as a regular on the short-lived television series The Last Precinct (1986).
In his later years, Wynn undertook a number of philanthropic endeavors, and supported several charity groups. He was a long-standing active member of the Westwood Sertoma service club, in West Los Angeles.
During his last years, Wynn suffered from pancreatic cancer, which caused his death at the age of 70 on the 14th. October 1986.
His ashes were interred in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park in The Great Mausoleum, Daffodil Corridor, Columbarium of the Dawn, in a niche alongside his father Ed Wynn, his daughter Emily (1960 – 1980), who died from lupus, and his aunt.
-- A Final Thought From Keenan Wynn
"My billing has always been "and",
or "with", or "including".
That's all right - let the stars take
the blame."
Rosemary Brown
Also born on that day, in London, was the British composer and spiritualist Rosemary Brown.
Rosemary claimed to have been able to channel the spirits of deceased composers such as Franz Liszt in order to produce new compositions.
Rosemary Isabel Brown (nee Dickeson) was an English composer, pianist and spirit medium who claimed that dead composers dictated new musical works to her.
Many other members of Brown's family were allegedly psychic, including her parents and grandparents.
She created a media sensation in the 1970's by presenting works purportedly dictated to her by Claude Debussy, Edvard Grieg, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, Igor Stravinsky, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann and Sergei Rachmaninoff.
Concert pianists Peter Katin, Philip Gammon, Howard Shelley, Cristina Ortiz and John Lill have all performed her music.
An LP spoofing her work, Rosemary Brown Psyches Again! was issued in 1982 by Enharmonic Records.
Brown was the subject of a BBC Radio 4 drama, The Lambeth Waltz by Daniel Thurman, first broadcast in 2017.
-- Rosemary Brown - The Early Years
Rosemary Isabel Dickeson was born in London. She claimed to have been only seven years old when she was first introduced to the world of dead musicians.
She reported that a spirit with long white hair and a flowing black cassock appeared and told her he that was a composer, and that he would make her a famous musician one day.
She claimed that she did not know who he was until, about ten years later, she saw a picture of Franz Liszt.
Rosemary worked for the Post Office from the age of 15. In 1948 she acquired a second-hand upright piano, and took some lessons for three years. In 1952 she married Charles Brown, a government scientist. They had a son and a daughter before her husband died in 1961.
-- Communication With Deceased Musicians
In 1964 Liszt supposedly renewed contact, and Brown began transcribing original compositions that she said were dictated to her by great musicians of the past.
Brown transcribed pieces from Johannes Brahms, Johann Sebastian Bach, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Franz Schubert, Edvard Grieg, Claude Debussy, Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Liszt.
These included:
-- A 40-page sonata that she attributed to Schubert
-- A Fantaisie-Impromptu in three movements that
she attributed to Chopin
-- 12 songs that she attributed to Schubert
-- 2 sonatas and 2 symphonies that she attributed to Beethoven.
Brown claimed that each composer had his own way of dictating to her:
-- Liszt controlled her hands for a few bars at a time, and then she wrote down the notes
-- Chopin told her the notes and pushed her hands on to the right keys
-- Schubert tried to sing his compositions
-- Beethoven and Bach simply dictated the notes.
Rosemary claimed that the composers spoke to her in English.
-- Rosemary Brown's Critical Reception
Brown's claims about spirit communication were disputed by sceptics. However, this opinion was not universal - there were a number of musicians and musicologists who supported her claims.
Humphrey Searle, who was an authority on Liszt, wrote in his autobiography Quadrille with a Raven, referring to Grubelei, a piece inspired by Liszt:
'It is certainly in keeping with Liszt's
experimental style, being mostly
written in single notes in each hand;
it is highly chromatic, and one hand
is written in 5/4 time against 3/2 in
the other.
The latter is not a thing that Liszt
ever did as far as I know, but it is
the sort of thing he might have done
as I said in my broadcast, which was
reproduced on this record sleeve
without my knowledge!
Since then Fiona and I have got to
know Rosemary well, and believe her
to be perfectly genuine. Even if the
pieces dictated to her by dead
composers are not masterpieces -
although some of them are very nice
works - she has had no technical
training in composition, and could not
possibly produce pastiches like, say,
those by Joseph Cooper in his TV
programme "Face the Music"."
Professor Ian Parrott was also a supporter, and wrote Rosemary Brown's obituary for the Guardian:
"Grübelei, partly dictated under the watchful
gaze of BBC reporter Peter Dorling and a
television studio crew, is undoubtedly a most
spectacular and unusual piece.
It has strong harmonies, cross-rhythms and
occasional instructions in French - a point
conferring authenticity, but difficult to fake."
The composer and Liszt specialist Humphrey Searle said:
"We must be grateful to Mrs Brown
for making it available to us."
After studying her compositions, many musicologists and psychologists came to the conclusion they were the work of Brown's own subconscious.
Leonard Zusne and Warren H. Jones in their book Anomalistic Psychology: A Study of Magical Thinking (1989) noted that:
"Brown wrote hundreds of pieces of music
dictated by the various composers. They
were passable works, entirely in the style
of these composers, but appeared to be
simply reworkings of existing pieces."
Professor of psychology John Sloboda wrote that:
"Brown's music offers the most convincing
case of unconscious composition on a large
scale."
Psychologist Robert Kastenbaum analysed Brown's music compositions and came to doubt that they were dictated to Brown by spirits of well known composers. According to Kastenbaum:
"There are no striking themes, complex structures,
depths of feelings, or harmonic, tonal, or rhythmic
innovations.
During their days on earth all the composers not
only created distinguished music but also contributed
to the development of compositions for the keyboard.
One of the characteristics that made each of them so
remarkable was their unpredictability.
Their next composition might well open a new domain
in musical sensitivity or technique.
Alas, they have now all fallen into desuetude. Nothing
new shows up to enrich their post-mortem compositions,
and nothing surprises, except perhaps the lack of
surprises.
Kastenbaum suggested the composers were secondary personalities of Brown herself.
PhD student Erico Bonfim studied a particular sonata by Schubert produced by Brown and said:
"I chose to investigate a sonata attributed to Schubert
because Schubert has a very special and particular
way of dealing with sonata form.
What is very impressive, in this sonata I analysed,
we can see all the most important characteristics of
Schubert's treatment of sonata form.
So this is certainly not a superficial imitation.
So when the sceptics claimed that she was making
just a superficial imitation, something maybe
improvisatory and so on, I don't believe they were
accurate – at least regarding some of her better
pieces."
Rosemary Brown maintained that she had never had any musical training aside from a few piano lessons, though paranormal investigator Harry Edwards says:
"A perusal of newspaper reports about Ms. Brown
elicits contradictory information about her alleged
lack of musical education.
Originally she stated that she had had no musical
training; later she was reported to have had only
a couple of years of music lessons, and recently
admitted to belonging to a musical household
and being a competent musician and pianist."
According to the psychologist Andrew Neher:
"Brown loved music as a child, there was a piano
in her home while she was growing up, her mother
played the piano, and she herself took piano
lessons.
All of this, together with the enhanced skill often
displayed in altered states of consciousness,
seems sufficient to account for her musical
compositions."
Musicologist Denis Matthews described her music as "charming pastiches," and suggested that she was re-creating compositions.
Similarly Alan Rich, music critic of New York magazine, having heard a privately issued record of Brown's piano pieces, concluded that they were just sub-standard re-workings of some of their purported composers' better-known compositions.

Indoor Waterfall Water Feature Fountain - Features / Waterfalls / Fountains
Indoor waterfalls dramatically improve ambiance by bringing the sights and sounds of a modern waterfall into your home or office. The sound of indoor fountains are associated with beautiful nature settings, peaceful vacations and meditative tranquility. An indoor waterfall can provide many health benefits as well. The flow of water captures airborne particles and dust from the air. The slow evaporation of water releases beneficial negative ions into the air and acts as a natural humidifier. For more sensitive environments or healthcare settings we offer a line of indoor fountains incorporating specialized precautions against bacteria and microorganisms. These options include Saniguard coatings, ultraviolet light sterilization systems and reverse osmosis systems.

Outdoor Garden Water Feature Fountain - Features / Fountains
Garden fountains are beautiful outdoor water accents. Outdoor fountains are used in public parks, gardens, yards, patios and decks. The most traditional design is a tiered waterfall with multiple levels where the water cascades down many levels of stone. A garden fountain is very dramatic and has a high degree of water noise and motion due to the water becoming airborne and crashing into the lower level pool below. The water finds it's way into the pool at the bottom and is taken back to the top again by a powerful water pump to begin it's journey anew. Some famous artists and sculptors have created garden water features which add life and elegance to their sculptures. Today craftsmen and increased knowledge have made available garden fountains for private residences.
