...seats to Labour that they have only one M.P. in Scotland, just 12 out of 161 English seats north of Sheffield, and none in major cities like Manchester and Leeds. The party is notably floundering among women, professionals and young people. Maybe its strength in local government - an important feeder for national politics - and its 36 new seats won in May's general election can rev up momentum. But the way parliamentary constituencies are drawn, and the mechanics of the first-past-the-post voting system, mean the Tories have to outpoll Labour nationally by at least 10% to take...
...illuminated the difficulties of convincing such students that it’s even worth their while to apply—a conviction that comes so naturally to seniors at the elite private schools, which, according to Worth Magazine, account for 94 of the top 100 “feeder schools” that set kids up for places like Harvard...
...Though I rank setting up a Slingbox as a much easier task than configuring a wireless network or, say, building a bird feeder, you are expected to have a wired or wireless network router already in place, and know a bit about networking. The best way to connect a Slingbox to your router (besides plugging it in directly) is via a powerline Ethernet bridge, like the Netgear XE102 ($60 each). You actually need two-one to connect to the Slingbox in your TV room, and another to pick up the signal in the room where your router is. The setup...
After DNA from a human patient is inserted into a hollowed-out egg, the fused cell is stimulated electrically and chemically to get it to start dividing. At that point, other researchers have used animal-based growth factors and feeder cells to sustain the growing egg, but that creates problems if the cells are going to be used to treat humans. So Hwang has concocted a growth medium made of human-based nutrients, starting with human skin cells from one of the donor subjects...
When the stem cells inside start growing out onto the underlying feeder cells, the researchers don't try to hurry the process. Most scientists working with embryos left over from in-vitro-fertilization treatments will use chemicals at this stage to separate the cells. "I think the less we manipulate the cells the better," Hwang says...
