Dennis drove, contractor 52 a resident of New Jersey, has worked with us on the roof of his neighbor and tried to repair a nail gun. Shot straight to his heart that nail length 12 cm. Cut it off: "He has a strong heart"
Dennis drove, 52, an independent contractor, was working last Saturday with his son on the roof of his neighbor's house. While working nail gun mishap occurred and he tried to fix it - when he accidentally turned the gun at his chest. At this point a nail shot from a distance of about 30 inches, right into his heart. Nail punctured the right ventricle heart pumped blood to the lungs, causing immediate cardiac arrest. Son called an ambulance and he was rushed to hospital, where he underwent surgery after undergoing CPR.
"We closed the hole, he has a strong heart," said Nice cut it off, Dr. Michael Rosenblum. Claims of doctor, luck played into the hands of Venice not tried to get himself the nail - which would probably lead to more serious consequences, together with rapid treatment received: "I told him he should play a lottery ticket." recovery of routed surgery was amazing and is expected to be released in time to spend with his family the Easter holiday occurred in these days. "I had a new grandson on my birthday two weeks ago, and a week later I almost died," said driven. "Now we can celebrate our birthdays together."
After more than a decade of research on hepatitis C, a team of researchers from the University of Alberta in the United States announced the discovery of a vaccine against the disease , a drug developed from a single strain that has proven effective against all known strains of the virus.
As told, the development of it has been long and expensive, mainly because hepatitis C is more virulent than HIV, which is why it came to believe that getting a vaccine would be an almost impossible task.
According to the researchers, the vaccine has been developed from a single strain demonstrating its efficiency against all known strains of the hepatitis C. The vaccine was tested in the laboratory with humans being capable of eliciting neutralizing antibodies against primary isolates, a finding hope for those afflicted with the disease and for those traveling to areas where the virus is common.
And each year hundreds of thousands of people that are infected with the virus. A new hope as Houghton himself warns, will require further testing. A time that can take 5 to 7 years before the vaccine receives approval.

Samsung can pat themselves on the back. SS 3 Galaxy device (Galaxy S III), although not yet declared unable to create rumors and speculation normally reserved only Apple products: Another picture of the device is exposed, although the device design is nothing like we expected Samsung.
A picture that looks like an invitation to the announcement of the Galaxy Ace 3 to be held on 22 May, London. Launch date we get along with Samsung's previous statements that they intend to declare to the device towards the middle of the year. In addition, the picture shows part of the device also exposes the futuristic design that - so unlike Samsung. The device looks like a piece - a metal concave edges seemed taken straight science fiction movie.
If you add "fire fire" 'Elder Mortzin (Eldar Murtazin) is one of the men allegedly held device before , squeaking about the image in mind of his Twitter 'no comment', causing reporters different technology to speculate that the answer is "yes" and simply forbidden to speak to the device . What do you think, Is this the real thing or even wishful thinking of an amateur designer?
Apple is expected to be the first company in history to reach one trillion dollars in market capitalization, with the success of their latest products and anticipation for their next steps in areas such as mobile telephony and television.
As published by Bloomberg, these financial analysts based in New York have claimed that the actions of the apple company might be valued more than $ 1,000 per share by 2014.
One of the factors driving growth stocks is that Apple has greatly increased its production and sales of iPhone and iPad in China, and rumors about his future entry into the market with Apple iTV television, they said two analysts at Piper Jaffray and the Topeka Capital Markets, both U.S. companies specializing in the financial sector.
Meanwhile Topeka Capital analyst Brian White said after giving a report on a recommendation to buy, that "Apple fever is spreading like wildfire around the world."
Since the death of the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs was expected a worse management company. However, Tim Cook has assumed his role very well and has managed since October last year, the stock has risen more than 60 percent.
On April 24 the company will present its results apple prosecutors last year. Apple expects iPhone sales reach more than 30 million handsets, up 10 percent from the previous year. According to forecasts made by these analysts, by 2014 Apple could become the first company to come in the stock market to reach record highs.
A couple of days back we talked about one of the research of MIT in the field of robotics in working in developing micro-robots that were assembled together to form any type of object, for example, replacing a piece that had to be replaced on a machine (similar to a job that was being developed at NASA for the ISS to manufacture parts with 3D printers ). Combining robotics and 3D printing, a team of MIT's CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) is working on an interesting project to democratize access to robotics to facilitate the construction of robots using parts made with 3D printers .
The project has funding of $ 10 million from the National Science Foundation and has a term of 5 years development, aims to develop a technology that makes possible any person, to design, customize and print pieces a robot without the need for complex systems design, just a desktop computer.
The idea is to eliminate MIT arduous process of designing and manufacturing the components of a robot's body, reducing development time and, of course, focusing efforts on the software and hardware robot controller (could be an interesting alternative to systems development as Nao ). What would the process? The user would have available a desktop application that would have a number of libraries with robot functionalities and components (processors, machine vision systems, physical structure, etc.) the user will use to design and customize it to your taste. Once the design phase, you get the CAD files that are required for an establishment where manufacture 3D printed parts for later assembly, in addition to buying the necessary electronics. Once you have all the components only have to assemble and record the software on the robot.
Although it may seem simple, the project for nothing is as it involves 3D modeling, development of functional libraries or developing a programming framework, thus providing the user (whether professional, amateur or a student of engineering or secondary a) a single work environment and to obtain a product out quickly.
After a week full of emotions that marked the end of the black in Canada, a competition was launched to design the next electronic money. The best applications will receive prizes in gold directly from the Canadian treasury.
The good old "penny black" living his last moments, it is time to take a virtual currency that can be up to the expectations of Canadian security and ease of transaction. The Royal Canadian Mint had the idea to appeal to the spirits of software for developing and presenting the best format of electronic currency that it has named MintChip. The parastatal has set up a contest where winners will receive prizes "gold sounding" unusual fact that adds to the frenzy that has not failed to attract the attention of the geek community.
Immediately warn prospectors that "bullion" will be relatively modest, however, with such a first prize of 10 ounces of gold valued at about $ 17000. Categories as the best application "person to person", B2C (business-to-consumer) and micro-payment will also allow contenders to shine in each specialty with the price of 3 gold pieces (about 5 $ 100).
The goal is to develop the concept that software will be marketed later, much like a call for proposals accompanied by a sweet motivator for those concerned. The contest begins today by agreeing for the next 4 months the participants' projects. Dedicated time to the votes of judges and the audience will follow in August and September, the winners will be announced on September 24.
It is called PAL-V-One and its short for Personal Air and Land Vehicle. A kind of flying car or the same Dutch company called a gyrocopter tricycle with the dream of highway driving and flying come true.
And is that PAL-V has completed its first successful flight tests. Some first tests which will seek out the necessary licenses to be traded.
It features:
- Top speed of 180 km / h (ground and air).
- Flight range of 500 km.
- Autonomy in the land of 1,200 km.
- Highly maneuverable flight capacity at very low speeds.
Its is not for sale because you will have to go through the regulations of each country to be sold. But if they have something more than $ 250,000, the model Transition will be on sale in America.
The search giant showed the fatal goggles H"slihot her "- smart glasses in real-time information they air the user who wears them. Among other things, weather, location, distances and more. This minimalist design is quite nice
Four months after the project sunglasses - computer of Google revealed for the first time today (Wednesday), distributed search giant for its employees reality goggles enhanced and let them run around the streets of New York - to perform an area to check the specs in action, outside the research lab secrets of Google which have been developed - Google X.
Glasses known as the Google project and they actually Glass first computerized garment in the world. Lab employees also sought feedback from the crowd and offers interesting features that can be part specs on their page Google +.
The first reports about Google's secret project hypothesized that the writer - glasses are expected to provide visual information and real-time environment of who appoints them. They will draw information from Google's location-based to provide the necessary information.
In addition, Google plans to integrate its services glasses, including GPS and even unable to connect to the network using Vi - Pi or wireless connection. In order to produce the special lenses of glasses Google will use the same technology that currently build or LCD screens transparent AMOLED.
In design for multi Hfitz'rim first thought was that the glasses will be big and bulky, but the first pictures released by Google itself show us a piece of clothing stylish and minimalist looks like something that was designed - by Apple.
Glasses still are not offered for sale and it is unclear when Google is ready to decide a question of mass distribution. The project still can change shape and replace the glasses lenses - digital touch, it is because one of the leaders of the project, Barak Frwitz, is a professor of bio - nanotechnology at Washington University and he's managed to build a contact lens that can project a pixel directly to the eye.
For the first time the popular photo app is also downloadable Android devices
After many promises and a long wait, today launched the popular photo app Instagram from Android from Google. This is a type of soft launch - search the name of the app store Play Google can not find it, but link to it sent to some users who pre-registration site Ainstgrm - and through it you can download. It should work on phones running Android version 2.2 and above.
The new application is quite similar to the existing IOS operating system of Apple and its features to bring the Android. More features are expected to be added in the coming weeks. Android version there are some differences in the original version, for example the need to manually adjust and move the image's shooting device of the square format image Bainstgrm (IOS version of the picture is taken in advance in a square one).
Ainstgrm iPhone was launched in 2010 and became a smash hit, with more than 30 million users worldwide. Early registration Android version recorded over 400,000 people within a week.
Tornado season arrived early this year to the area, and forced millions of people take refuge. Hundreds of buildings were damaged, but so far no reports of injuries. "I saw a truck flying through the air like toys"
About a dozen tornadoes hit tonight (Wednesday) in Dallas, Texas, sowing destruction on their way and throw into the trucks, but so far no reports of injuries. The local National Weather Service reported that ten to 12 tornadoes were observed, a huge storm raging in the metropolitan area of Dallas, the fourth largest in the United States.
According to reports, hundreds of homes and businesses were damaged in storms, which began at noon, while school and places of commerce were open and crowded. Most from 6.3 million residents in the area were forced to take shelter, shelters or other protected spaces. "We saw roofs are thrown into the air, completely flattened houses, tractors were shot down," reported Jesse Moore. Toranaga one even blizzard blew trucks "like toys," said truck driver Michael Glennon Reuters. "I saw a truck - trailer is falling apart into pieces and thrown to a height of 15-30 meters."
It seems that the lack of casualties so far is a very lucky, at least one after tornadoes passed about 200 yards from an elementary school in Arlington, near Dallas. "We had to stay lying on the floor for two hours," one student said, "There was no electricity, so it was very dark and hot."
Now the storm is approaching Oklahoma , Arkansas and Louisiana - and possibly more tornadoes will be created later. Weather paralyzed the local transport and the airport of Dallas - one of the busiest in the world. Hundreds of flights were canceled, and thousands of passengers have to wait until the end of the storm. Texas Governor Rick Perry urged citizens follow the safety instructions and avoid going out in the highways and roads. "These devastating tornadoes show us how quickly Mother Nature can strike our country," Perry said in a statement.
Tornado season started early this year and the beginning of 2012 already 57 people were killed as a result of storms in the region. Authorities worry that it would be recovery of 2011, the deadliest year for storms in the past century, then came to about -550 Hhargim where humans and the total damage cost of weather disasters climbed a peak of 26 billion dollars.
A few months ago we talked about NASA and a project that had begun to place 3D printers in the International Space Station to make tools or parts independently. The idea was quite interesting and solved the problem of lack of supplies and eliminated any waiting time, for example, preparing an emergency mission. The team's Distributed Robotics Lab at MIT is also working on a project to build parts and objects autonomously but instead of 3D printers want to use robots as a small basic pieces that can unite and build anything .
Robots that assemble these robotic cubes 1 cm high have some magnets that are used to join with other cubes by sorting algorithms. The idea is that from a bucket full of these little cubes can generate concrete objects by assembling these cubes that would communicate with each other to build the required structure:
These clever cubes one centimeter high lead inside a small microprocessor (running a 32-KB and has a 2KB RAM) and only 4 of the 6 cube faces are an electro-magnet which is controlled by the processor and used to stick to other blocks (added 6 magnets failed for lack of space in the cube).
And what is the purpose of this research? The results of this work, already, are a milestone in the field of distributed robotics and open the door to many practical applications. Still, the team wants to continue working on the miniaturization of these basic units to achieve better replicas of any object and aim to develop a "grain of sand" intelligent with which to build any type of form and, following a function, to recycle and reuse items
I must admit that when I read MIT first thing that came to mind was the image of the Replicators in the series Stargate SG-1 , a "mechanical life forms" that were composed of autonomous blocks joined to form robots that were in check Asgard. Sometimes investigations take us to the world of science fiction but, fortunately, are still somewhat away from replicating the TV series.
The French NGO Sports Sans Frontieres through sport promotes human rights and social justice in the difficult and still very patriarchal Afghan society unjust
The main objectives of the NGO include "the promotion of women's rights and building bridges between different nationalities Afghan conflict," explains Michaela Le Merdy, Director of the NGOs operating in Kabul.
The operations of this small but well organized NGOs began nine years ago when the director of the Olympic Committee of Afghanistan, Anwar Jekdalek invited the organization to settle in the country to help rebuild it.
"SSF operates through three core programs. First and foremost is based on practical training for a quality sport and physical education proper, while we use physical education as a tool to raise awareness and develop the fundamental rights of the people, "explains Le Merdy.
To this end, and with funding and cooperation of the Organization for Women of the United Nations (UNWOMAN), the NGO has created diferentas manuals that are promoted games extolling the rights of equality and solidarity, especially in regard to the eradication of violence against women (EWAN), gender equality and awareness of the disease AIDS, which in Afghanistan is still stigmatized.
"For this we have a program with the Afghan Ministry of Education in which trainers train yourselves in order to apply these manuals, as the sports curriculum within the Ministry of Education is very weak, especially in regard to physical education teachers in schools, "says the Director of SSF.
Thus the main objective of the program is to equip EWAN future teachers of physical education in schools Afghan educational tools based on respect for others.
A difficult challenge to overcome in a country where lack of rights is the daily bread. Thus the activities of the NGOs also include "the training of social workers from different organizations focusing on women's rights", the hardest hit in the patriarchal society of Afghanistan, "and the creation of a platform in school sports Malalai" in Kabul, the French organization that works to support the Afghan ethnic equality, and particularly the Hazara minority.
"I do not think that sport alone is capable of completely changing the shortcomings of the Afghan society, but I am convinced that sports can help this change happen in Afghanistan as they are a bridge between people in the no differences between men and women or between Hazara and Pashtun-two rival ethnic groups in the country, by providing values of cooperation and respect among people, "says Le Merdy.
Unfortunately, the NGO plans to end its activities in Afghanistan during the course of this year, "which has nothing to do with the state of the current situation in the country," says Le Merdy, adding that "SSF is an organization that dedicated to developing and, therefore, when you consider that its programs have been implemented correctly is time to move on and focus on other programs around the world. "
Sport as a tool to achieve peace in Afghanistan is a tactic that neither the Afghan government and international forces have been considered enough. The power of sport crosses borders, ideologies, religions and conflict.
Many cases are bitter enemies who laid down their arms for a day and enjoyed the entertainment. German and British soldiers during the First World War football game, the challenge of Jessie Owens to German dictator Adolf Hitler during the Berlin Olympics of 1936, Nationals and Reds of the turbulent Civil War Spain, giving the ball, or even stories FARC and paramilitary groups in Colombia agreeing a cease-fire to watch the World Cup are just a few examples of what sport can achieve.
Throughout the reign of terror of the Taliban the sport itself was not banned in Afghanistan, but many of the games, especially those held in public, came preceded by summary executions, mostly women accused of adultery, in the Olympic Stadium Ghazni, Kabul. A hard to erase memories of the Afghan psyche.
For now, thanks to organizations such as SSF, the sport is being used for hundreds of Afghans understand the importance of gender equality and respect for human rights for optimal development of democracy in the country.
And who knows, maybe in the future serve to those described by the International Forces and the Afghan government and insurgents, rebels or terrorists lay down their arms to take a little game before eating with the other side, and even against such hated infidels. Sport in Afghanistan can save lives, and Sports Without Borders understand and fight for this great truth.
Today more than ever we can see the games market for smartphones and tablets is growing. Developers are discovering the potential of developing computer games and also outside the consoles, and can now see games that offer a great gaming experience with impressive graphics such as: GTA 3 and Shadowgun thanks to the implementation of quad-core processor for mobile devices such as the Nvidia's Tegra 3. But unfortunately, there is one drawback hinders the game experience and is: (let's face it) touch screen. During the game, controlling traffic through the touch screen is very limited (especially on small screens) and most frustrating time. Although a number of third-party claim to solve this problem and offer physical controllers experience a much better game, but until today had not seen a company that makes smart phones and tablets Took up the challenge and decided to market itself to such controllers. But now, it is possible that this is going to change because the report received by the site AnandTech says that Apple itself is indeed working on developing games for physically visit Apple's iPhone and the iPad.
Play with the tablet
Of reporting (which is basically an extended review of the new iPad ) said one of the authors (on the Android system supports game controllers while the system is Apple's iOS not) that "I know Apple's internal project designed to bring internal beef market, but whether he will the light of day we'll see. as smart phones and tablets compare the performance of the current generation of game consoles, I feel that the problem with the controls must be patient and give us an answer. " Cattle is estimated to get on the iPad device and will provide hardware buttons and allow a more comfortable grip of the tablet or iPhone, and along with it may be that Apple will open a store dedicated to games.
We must note that we have no reason to doubt the report of AnandTech, but as we know, the position of Apple over the years (the launch of iPhone first five years ago to the present) was touch screens are the best and the users do not need anything other than their fingers to control their devices . Apple was not ready to accept another alternative, the watering of cattle from Apple will play an admission of her touch screens are not always the best option and sometimes it should be replaced. On the other hand Recall that for quite some time Slmcsiri iPhone and the iPad is an external keyboard that connects to them via the BlueTooth Apple sells herself as an external accessory for devices, so that the position of Apple issue not so clear yet. Also, as you can guess from the company itself was not received any response regarding this publication. And logically, if the iPhone and iPad users buy external hardware devices, Apple certainly would prefer to buy products that it markets.
Meanwhile, we doubt the possibility that Apple indeed will market its own controller that, although perhaps Apple is working on a project like this and perhaps has already developed a kind of prototype, but between this and bring the product to market has a pretty big difference for such a move could create strategic change quite radically for Apple. We of course will continue to update you on the event More news will come, and in the meantime, tell us a comment, what do you think: Is the future of smartphones and tablets as a substitute for a portable gaming console?
Actress bud saturation Herculean strength that is, appointed as special supporter drama "Pretty Little Raiazu First Season" popular rice was found. Herculean strength is that enthusiastic, "is that there is a special supporter of overseas drama popular in my generation, because the content is also very funny. Yell quite joined, I want to see a wide range of people and".
The same work, which was a drama best-selling novel, won the audience more than the "Gossip Girl" in the United States is. Girls new sense of mystery and boldly painted scandalous everyday fashionable high school girls, the pattern of human adults to shame.
The only mystery and attraction, Herculean strength is sealed with a refreshing smile. Expression on his face and a "deep meaning" in the make-up mud, "Since this is also being challenged to deliberate scary smile, to your new" bud saturation Herculean strength and commented! "I think that I can show you" was.
In addition CM has Herculean strength appeared to be on air from mid-April, that the launch event will also be on stage to the DVD. "Pretty Little Raiazu <First Season>", start to be delivered on-demand on April 18. In addition, Complete box released on the same day.
Although the "system-on-chip" with the ARM-architecture now associated mostly with smartphones and tablets, manufacturers of such decisions tend to expand their scope. For example, Qualcomm and NVIDIA really expect to use their SoC in the "big" mobile computers running the operating system, Windows 8 , currently under development in the bowels of Microsoft. In this context, particular interest is the reference site PC World plans to release quad-core Qualcomm's proprietary version of the processor Snapdragon S4, designed specifically for this type of PC.
According to senior vice president of Qualcomm Rob Chandhok (Rob Chandhok), which refers to the source of the line quad-core Snapdragon S4 will enable manufacturers to build mobile computers that will be noticeably lighter and thinner than the famous MacBook Air from Apple and the same ultrabuki, and can compete with Intel and AMD. In addition, the use of these chips in laptops running Windows 8 will bring them additional functionality, such as support for cellular networks of the fourth generation, and these are expected by the end of SoC this year.
Who has not tried to kiss a poster of a celebrity, but without much success? Researchers at Keio University have recently presented at the 2012 XD exhibitions in Tokyo, a new technology that could bring some dynamism to the posters.
To introduce the new system, researchers have developed a screen. It displays a picture of a woman. When the user approaches it, the face changes, as for a kiss. When he walked away, his face flushed.
In fact, the screen uses an ultrasonic sensor that uses the distance between the screen of the user. Depending on the distance between the two subjects, the image shown on the screen changes.
For now, this technology supports that vision changes. However, it could appeal to other senses of the user as smell, taste or hearing. The latter could, for example, feel the shampoo of the person shown on the screen, or taste her lip balm flavored with lemon, or hear a voice whisper "I love you."
The team of scientists working on an application for the iPad. Other methods of capture could be used as face recognition or a light sensor reacts to shadows created by the user who comes to the screen.
But why have developed such a system?
"I'm a big fan of popular idols, and I have several of these posters in my room. It frustrated me to see that the posters were not moving at all, "said Keidi Ogawa, one of the researchers.
In addition to an application for the Apple tablet, the researchers believe that this kind of technology could easily find its place in a commercial context.
Year to year, this year, just a few weeks ago, Apple announced the new generation of device iPad. One of the more interesting additions that come along with the new iPad is the processor for all know that the processor shown in the new iPad, also comes down to the next iPhone. It was two years ago with the A4 was first presented with the first iPad and the end of 2010 also came to the iPhone 4, and a year ago with the A5 processor introduced in early 2011 in iPad 2 and end of the year even in the iPhone 4S. Along with the new processor, always rising doubts about me in his breakout capability, since every year new processors become more difficult and more break.
We, like many others, we waited to hear the famous hacker pod2g something about a breakthrough new processors will reach break-even when full to iOS 5.1 also the older processors. Now, French hacker breaks the silence, with a line not so happy. Tweet from the Twitter account of his break-processor to the new A5X not be released soon: "She was (break) and I have no idea when that will happen," he says, "I work hours a week to find security holes."
If you still hate without a break, we will tell you that you can break into the system only related to burglary, which means that if you turn off the device you'll have to run it through the computer only. Not recommended and therefore you should wait a little longer.
French hacker, pod2g, is one of the biggest hackers and certainly the largest in IOS devices. He is responsible for the break bytecode-A5 and A4 and soon A5X. Together with a group he founded Dream Team with some other famous hackers, is the biggest nightmare of the dark, but she will have to acknowledge sooner or later they have a large part of its instruments successfully.
Last Thursday, LG revealed first first flexible digital paper. Screen according to the company, will revolutionize the world of e-books allows flexible angle of 40 degrees. "Screen e-paper in plastic first, the Department screens LG puts herself again at the top of the league with a product that we coaches will help greatly the popularity of market digital readers," said the head of the project in LG and added: "According to the current success of digital paper flexible first We look forward to future projects in the most advanced OLED screen, including plastic and flexible screens. "
Screen shown is 6 inches in size, displays a resolution of 1024X768 and based on the digital ink technology (E-Ink) consumes very little electricity. Screens will first companies in China and final products will reach stores in Europe later this year.
