Edible cotton engineered by scientists that could one day feed millions of people

Edible cotton engineered by scientists that could one day feed millions of people | Mail Online

A Texas researcher has engineered edible cottonseed that he says could feed millions of people.

Cotton seeds are packed with protein but regular plants produce a toxic chemical called gossypol which can damage our liver and heart. They can only be eaten by cattle, who have four stomachs that break down the poison.

Propunerea Guvernului de a interzice majorările de salarii cu 6 luni înainte de alegeri a trezit, cum era de aşteptat, reacţii ale lideriilor sindicali. În timp ce Bogdan Hossu şi Marius Petcu condamnă această măsură, Dumitru Costin o consideră „o intrare în normalitate”.

9 chestii cu Traian Basescu

9 chestii cu Traian Basescu. Da, EBA si alianta cu PSD l-au tras in jos. Scuze pentru 22 de milioane (de Costi Rogozanu) – Mass Media in Campanie – HotNews.ro

Am ramas mut in dimineata asta dupa ce am citit doua interviuri. Pentru ca, in sfirsit, Basescu s-a intilnit cu jurnalisti adevarati care nu l-au protejat, nici nu au incercat sa-l “prinda”. Au vorbit pur si simplu. Si a iesit acel Basescu teribil, care arunca raspunsuri surprinzatoare care-si face mea culpa, care spune chestii de o rationalitate care i-ar putea demobiliza pe fanaticii sai, dar care i-ar putea lasa pe demobilizati sa se mai gindeasca o data.

Buy every song in the world for €4 a month

Buy every song in the world for €4 a month

“Music should be a service, not a product. Instead of purchasing tunes, you would pay a small monthly fee for access to all the songs in the world – say 4 Euros per month. Recordings would be streamed to you when you want to any appliance – your laptop, mobile device, car, home stereo, via the Internet.

“Call it Everywhere Internet Audio. Every customer has the Me Channel and could slice and dice the massive musical database anyway you like – by artist, by genre, by year, by songwriter, by popularity, and so on. The Me Channel would know what you like, based on what you’ve chosen in the past. You could even ask your Everywhere Internet Audio service to suggest new artists that resemble my known favorites or to create a new playlist called ‘Mick Jagger’s current favorites.’

“Musicians, songwriters and even their labels would be compensated through systems that track their popularity. All the music would be pooled and using actuarial economics the total pie would be divided up according to the number of times the songs of a given artist were streamed. Technologies and companies already exist that can do this.”

The dark side of Dubai

The dark side of Dubai – Johann Hari, Commentators – The Independent

I ask the Filipino girl behind the counter if she likes it here. “It’s OK,” she says cautiously. Really? I say. I can’t stand it. She sighs with relief and says: “This is the most terrible place! I hate it! I was here for months before I realised – everything in Dubai is fake. Everything you see. The trees are fake, the workers’ contracts are fake, the islands are fake, the smiles are fake – even the water is fake!” But she is trapped, she says. She got into debt to come here, and she is stuck for three years: an old story now. “I think Dubai is like an oasis. It is an illusion, not real. You think you have seen water in the distance, but you get close and you only get a mouthful of sand.”

As she says this, another customer enters. She forces her face into the broad, empty Dubai smile and says: “And how may I help you tonight, sir?”

LIVETEXT Traian Basescu: Sforarii din PSD si rechinii Vantu, Patriciu, Voiculescu nu-si lasa marioneta in fata electoratului. Isi tin manechinul ascuns – Politic – HotNews.ro

# Ce se va intampla cu datoria de 600 de milioane de euro pe care Patriciu o are la bugetul de stat, daca Geoana castiga alegerile? Daca dl. Mircea Geoana castiga alegerile, care va fi primul dosar blocat: Adrian Nastase, Voiculescu, Patriciu sau Vantu?
# Mircea Geoana vorbeste de liniste si avand in vedere ca a raspuns prompt chemarilor la resedinta din Delta a lui Vantu, as vrea sa raspunda daca aceasta liniste va fi dupa sloganul de la FNI: Romani, dormiti linistiti, Mircea Geoana vegheaza
# Poate imi spune Geoana cum e cu izolarea internationala a Romaniei? Numai ieri, Romania a obtinut desemnarea unui roman pentru functia de comisar pe Agricultura. Dezizolezi cand te duci la Moscova? Fata de cine apreciaza dansul izolarea?
# Cat mai valoreaza Romania pentru Mircea Geoana? Acum cateva saptamani, compara Romania cu Marea Britanie, spunand Marea Britanie e tara, nu ca a noastra, de 2 bani?

Meat grown in laboratory in world first

Meat grown in laboratory in world first – Telegraph

Mark Post, professor of physiology at Eindhoven University, told The Sunday Times: “What we have at the moment is rather like wasted muscle tissue. We need to find ways of improving it by training it and stretching it, but we will get there.

“This product will be good for the environment and will reduce animal suffering. If it feels and tastes like meat, people will buy it.

“You could take the meat from one animal and create the volume of meat previously provided by a million animals.”

The scientists extracted cells from the muscle of a live pig and then put them in a broth of other animal products. The cells then multiplied and created muscle tissue. They believe that it can be turned into something like steak if they can find a way to artificially “exercise” the muscle.

The project is backed by the Dutch government and a sausage maker and comes following the creation of artificial fish fillets from goldfish muscle cells.

Un nou tratament inovator pentru artroza, disponibil in Romania

Un nou tratament inovator pentru artroza, disponibil in Romania

Artroza, afectiune care afecteaza 200.000 de romani cu varste cuprinse intre 25 si 45 de ani, poate fi vindecata cu tratamente inovatoare ce folosesc ser din sangele pacientului, potrivit specialistilor

Artroza este o afectiune in care cartilajul ce protejeaza si inveleste suprafetele articulare se deterioreaza, provocand sureri ascutite si persistente la nivelul genunchiului, dar si o mobilitate redusa. Predispozitia genetica, obezitatea, munca fizica intensa sau varsta sunt factori importanti in cazul aparitiei si dezvoltarii artrozei.

“Procedeul de obtinere a serului autolog cu puternice proprietati antiinflamatoare este simplu. Cu ajutorul dispozitivului seringa ce contine microsfere speciale se recolteaza sange pacientului, din vena bratului, apoi acesta se incubeaza 6-9 ore si se centrifugheaza. Prezenta microsferelor speciale care simuleaza in seringa inflamatia la nivelul articulatiei, determina sangele sa sintetizeze cantitati mari de proteine antiinflamatoare si de crestere, care reduc intensitatea durerii, combat inflamatia si imbunatatesc functia articulara. Dupa acest proces, serul obtinut se injecteaza aceluiasi pacient in articulatia afectata”, a declarat dr. Carsten Moser, din cadrul Institutului de Microterapie Groenemeyer, din Bochum, Germania.

Superconductor magnet spacecraft heat shield being developed

(PhysOrg.com) — European space agencies and an aerospace giant are developing a new re-entry heat shield that will use superconductor magnets to generate a magnetic field strong enough to deflect the superhot plasma formed during re-entry of returning spacecraft. They plan to test the new technology by attaching a test module to a missile and using a Russian submarine to fire it into space.

Italian doctor may have found surprisingly simple cure for Multiple Sclerosis

Italian doctor may have found surprisingly simple cure for Multiple Sclerosis

An Italian doctor has been getting dramatic results with a new type of treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, which affects up to 2.5 million people worldwide. In an initial study, Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, performed a simple operation to unblock restricted bloodflow out of the brain – and two years after the surgery, 73% of the patients had no symptoms. Dr. Zamboni’s thinking could turn the current understanding of MS on its head, and offer many sufferers a complete cure.
