Sembo

This is a music maker. However, with it you only have 16 notes from which to choose and only 16 spots to place your notes/chords (if you’re musically inclined, that’s 2 measures each containing only 1/8 notes).

With a click of a mouse button, each square will toggle on or off.

The image above kind of represents “Jingle Bells”.

Police: Carbon Dioxide Led to Death in McDonald’s Bathroom 
An 80-year-old woman who died after being found unconscious in a restroom at an eastern Georgia McDonald's was killed by a lethal dose of carbon dioxide, authorities said Wednesday.

An investigation determined that a "bleed line" on the tank used to carbonate beverages in the McDonald's drink dispenser was "improperly disconnected within the wall cavity," Pooler, Georgia, Police Chief Mark Revenew said.
