These recordings are from Pan105, titled "Incomplete and Controversial Sonatas." Unfortunately, the master tapes are lost. The recordings were copied from an lp. Apart from the A major Sonata, many authorities are not convinced that the remaining sonatas are the work of the master. The A major Sonata has an incomplete 1st movement. Alex Murray compares it to the 5th Brandenburg concerto, and suggests that a flute cadenza, like the long harpsichord cadenza in the 5th Brandenburg, could have originally been a part of the manuscript. Accordingly, Martha Goldstein wrote a completion with this aim. The flute used is a copy of an instrument by W. Beukers which was made in the late 1700's. The maker is K Kinoshita of Japan.

Feb 2011 storm moves across the U.S. Animation made with images from the NOAA-NASA GOES 13 satellite showing a giant storm developing and moving across the U.S. The animation shows clouds building over New Mexico and Texas early in the day.

Usage of Videomaut toll system in Austria. The film shows the approach to and passing of the northbound Videomaut lane at Schönberg toll station on the A13 motorway in Austria. Note the speed limit and the camera mounted to the left of the lane. The number plates of the two vehicles ahead are not recognised by the system, and these vehicles are re-routed into a cashier-operated lane. The LED readout displays "Nicht erkannt" (not recognised) and an arrow pointing to the right for these vehicles, while it displays "Berechtigt" (authorised) for the vehicle the film is recorded from.
