This is s 7.8” with E INK Carta HD and E INK Kaleido Plus color, released at end of March 2022 by the Hong Kong based BOOX company. The company has been making e-ink readers since 2009. Onyx was the first company to use Android 10 OS in e-readers. E-INK technology dates back to 1970 though the E-INK company was founded in 1997 by MIT undergrads Albert & Comiskey (sold company in 2005 to Taiwanese company PVI), but only became a consumer item when SONY introduced an e-ink reader in 2006. Amazon Kindle first developed one in 2007. The first color e-ink technology dates from 2012, but only in the past This is a 2nd iteration of BOOX’s attempt at utilizing the color e-ink technology into a modern e-reader. The Nova 3 color of early 2021 was its first, and was criticized for its poor color contrast and murky dark appearance. This new device the Air C has front-lit display like the first one but has 36 vs the original’s 20 LED lights and features a color temperature system for adjusting from white to amber warmer light color. The resolution of this unit is the same as last year’s device at 1404x187 with 300ppi for black&white and 100ppi for color. This new unit uses On-Cell Touch technology which increases color contrast 40% and color saturation 15% compared to last year’s tech. It has a 2000mAh battery compared to the 3150mAh battery of the first iteration 3 color device.

This is a recipe for Klausie Pizza Detroit Deep Dish style tribute. We are using the Ninja Foodi XL smart pressure cooker and a recipe. It is delicious and better than a pizza I make on a heavy cast-iron stone in our oven at 500 degrees. It only takes about 15 minutes to make using a proofed pizza dough.
This is my unboxing, analysis, initial impression and review of the 2012 (version 2) of the Orient Sun and Moon day/date am/pm indicator mechanical watch with in-house caliber 46B movement, sapphire crystal, exhibition back, lume-less, water-resistant dress watch.
This watch is very "chitty-chitty-bang-bang steampunk" and an instant classic and homage to the $43,000 Breguet Classique 3137, 7137, and 7337. These watches of the richistanis from the 1990s is an homage to the circa 1794 Breguet No.5 pocket watch that fetches $1,800,000 usd at auction. this watch was designed by Parisian inventor/horologist Abraham-Louis Breguet in the 1790s with 60 hour power-reserve display, moon-phase indicator, seconds dial, and quarter repeater.

Anti-Viral/Anti-COVID19 solution for ingestion.
4 oz of ‘louched’ absinthe - 3:1 ice water/absinthe.
2 oz 94proof gin
2 oz tonic soda
2 oz lime juice concentrate
2 oz heavy cream
1-2 oz simple syrup
top with ice & tonic soda
BLEND to mix = 2 serving portion.
5 components of this cocktail are active against coronavirus, as well as against a variety of other microbes. It will cure coronavirus (including SARS-Cov2), influenza, rhinovirus among others (but not norovirus). It will relieve symptoms within 24hours, but can be repeated for residual symptoms .
The most potent antiviral component of this concoction is ethanol.
Alcohol obliterates coronavirus on contact , which is the basis for alcohol-based hand-wash recommendations, as well as for Lysol spray for surface decontamination. It is the basis for the Rutgers Listerine (26% etOH) study showing 100% eradication of SARS-CoV2 with 20seconds of gargle contact. With blood alcohol levels of ~0.1% typical for normal adult after cocktail, a significant cleansing anti-viral effect is seen. Alcohol’s importance throughout human history has included its sterilizing effects inside the human body.
The next most potent ingredient is Artemisinin, which is currently in clinical trials for anti-COVID properties shown previously. Artemisinin has long been known for antimicrobial properties, specifically to malaria, intestinal worms, as well as for specific antibacterial effects. Absinthe is known for its high content of artemisia, most typically Artemisia absinthium, known as artemisinin grande. This varietal is banned in the USA due to its content of GABA receptor blocking chemical thujone. Since 2007 only absinthe with less than 10ppm of thuja is USA legal. The mechanism of action of artemisinin against COVID19 is its zinc super-accumulation properties in-vivo. Intracellular zinc increases CD4, T helper cells, increases interferon-alpha, IL-6, TNF-alpha and other cytokine production, and inhibits SARS-CoV2 enzyme activity directly. Safety of artemisinin levels found in absinthe products relies on 200+ year history of its ingestion with most adverse effects previously attributed to thujone. Absinthe also contain fennel and anise seed which lends it aroma and flavor over the bitterness of artemisia. The standard way of serving absinthe via “louche” method of slowly drip ice water over a sugar cube and letting cold sugar-water drip into a shot of absinthe causing whitish clouding – the Ouzo effect - creates an emulsion when 3:1 water absinthe unlocks essential oils present in absinthe holy trinity of botanicals.
The next ingredient of interest is chloroquine, and its more refined compound, hydroxychloroquine. Tonic water typically contains ~67ml/L of quinine, which is a fraction of the therapeutic dosing of quinine (10mg/kg TID), but at low levels may still have antimicrobial effects used synergistically as here. Chloroquine has a narrow therapeutic window compared to hydroxychloroquine, and both may have arrhythmia inducing effects when used close to therapeutic range. All are potently anti-COVID in early studies from 2020.
Vitamin C and Vitamin D have been shown to be active against COVID-19. Vitamin C specifically binds to and inactivates 3Clpro protease which is essential for SARS-CoV2 replication. Here we will use 60ml of lime juice, which is 21mg vitamin C (24% daily allowance). Vitamin D has been shown to improve pulmonary epithelial barrier maintenance thus preventing the most severe forms of COVID-19. In this concoction, I use Lime Juice concentrate as the source of C and heavy cream as the source of cholecalciferol. Though only 1 IU may be present in 2oz, vitamin D also helps Vitamin C be absorbed maximally.
This cocktail is curative for COVID19 and symptoms, and preventative for SARS-CoV2 illness as well as a many other viral infections. This type of curative is NOT recommended by NIH, CDC, WHO, and most physicians because a cure for COVID19 removes the legal authorization for emergency use of experimental vaccines from which these organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and corrupt politicians/bureaucrats profit. This cocktail is antibacterial, anti-helminthic as well as antimalarial. It sounds too good to be true, almost like snake oil, that an enjoyable alcoholic cocktail could be a cure-all. But if you peruse references, you will find sound scientific backing for this claim. Anecdotally it cures symptoms miraculously in everybody to whom I’ve recommended it.

PMV pro mini SKU: SM3001S2. MSRP $1499.00. 2 year warranty.
On ebay you can buy one as I did from Pinehurst Coin for $1300 shipped.
https://www.sigmametalytics.com/product-page/pmv-pro-mini-standard-sete
Sigma Metalytics is a Chico California private company.
They have made for several years the PMV original device, which is a large desktop device with B&W 1cm x 4cm LCD screen on the device that gives you an idea of sample purity using a bracketing indicator. It is also pricey at $899. The largest PVM pro desktop is a $1800 device with onboard color LCD display. Their technology is patented, but possibly involves either an electric current (most likely), or radiofrequency waves passed through the metals analyzed. My Pro Mini is said to penetrate through up to 1cm thick samples, but if your sample is too small, such as with small scraps, or tiny coins the wand will yield more reliable results.
These devices are for people who are paranoid about their precious metal collections and don't feel magnetic testing, weight and measurement confirmation, and "ping testing" is adequate. For gold you can test with iodine for tarnishing, but this only tells you the surface coat is gold, not the interior which can easily be tungsten which has similar weight as gold and is nonmagnetic also. There are horror stories of $800k gold bricks with just a thin plate of gold and otherwise tungsten through and through - this was confirmed only with drilling it through. These conductivity of metal analyzers offer you nondestructive and fast/efficient confirmation of your collection.
Here is a very excellent alternative tester that uses similar technology but is too new to buy in the USA yet: https://www.gold-analytix.com/goldscreenbox
Here are some other testers taht are cheaper but far less satisfying to use:

I bought this item without incentives, promos, and made this video without any prompting by the company. No compensation of any kind was offered nor taken.
