Nano technology in medicine

Wed, 08 May 2013 15:43:05 +0200

Cancer therapy, where poisonous substances are used to kill off tumors, is a typical example where nano technology will allow a more targeted medication to enhance benefits and reduce side effects. Currently chemotherapie resembles carpet bombing with high collateral damage. Nano technology should allow to address those poisonous substances to cancer cells only.

“He pointed out that there’s a lot of “reality” in the virtual, and a lot of “virtual” in our reality. When we use a phone or a computer we’re still flesh-and-blood humans, occupying time and space. When we’re frolicking through a field somewhere, our gadgets stowed far away, the internet still impacts our thinking: “Will I tweet about this when I get back?””

Nathan Jurgenson to Paul Miller from The Verge at a conference called “Theorizing the Web” when Paul disconnected from the Internet for one year to find out whether it was being online all the time that gave him trouble with his life.

“With the HTC One, you can have Apple-quality hardware, a Samsung-quality display, one of the most refined versions of Android in the world and an all-around outstanding user experience all rolled up into one single smartphone.”

- HTC One review (AT&T): The smartphone that changes everything | BGR

There is nothing I could add to this statement. It is absolutely true.

The One isn’t just the best smartphone HTC has ever made — it can legitimately lay claim to being one of the best smartphones ever made. (via HTC One (2013) review - gdgt)

Overall, the One is an incredibly impressive device and one that hits all the right notes. The fit and finish of the hardware, the quality of the display, the camera, the speed of the OS, even the changes HTC has made to the UI, all come together in a way that you rarely see in a gadget.

That statement ist absolutely true. The HTC One is the iPhone Apple should have built. It speaks a design language very Apple like.

“However, despite the rhetoric about new social and participatory media generally and OER speciﬁcally, the reality is that their uptake and reuse in formal educational contexts has been disappointing.”

- http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/01587919.2012.700563

The reality of OER uptake in the classroom is way behind expectations.

Although these are initial findings there are already trends which can also be attributed to OER in primary and secondary education.

Is it Predictably Irrational as Dan Arrielly says if I subscribe to this German daily paper for 24 months at a monthly rate of € 14,99 to get the iPad mini? At this rate the digital paper is nearly free and 95% of the subscription rate covers the cost of the iPad mini included in the offer. The offer is really tempting.

Get Ready for Mainstream Steampunk | 5 Reasons You’ll Be Talking About Steampunk in 2013 | TIME.com:

I’ve watched the movement for years now. It’s interesting but it doesn’t really appeal to me. Maybe Steampunk embodies a longing for a return to slowness and to a time when more attention was given to detail, to playful ornaments which turned everyday stuff into a kind of art.

I like pictures of cute puppies or young dogs. In black and white they are even more enjoyable.

Eight dogs in a pack and they are all very calm and submissive. Looks like the dog walker uses the same kind of lead for all eight dogs. I do this too with my four dogs.

Today I got my copy of Maddie on Things, the book Theron Humphrey made of pictures of his now famous coonhound Maddie. You can see more pictures of Maddie at Maddie the Counhound. Right now Theron Humphrey is on a book tour. Perhaps you can get your copy signed by Maddie. I would like to have it signed but then I would have to be in the States and near a place where Maddie and Theron have a stop.

“This is a photo project is an opportunity to share everyday stories on how animals can open our homes and hearts to the world.”

I like the project. Last year it was about 12 rescued dogs and their owners in NY (kind of a test run for the larger project).
