...Whippet thin from his daily 2 1/2 mile walks, Ronnie Ho, 57, doesn't look as if he's suffering from high blood pressure. Nor is he. At its peak two years ago, Ho's blood pressure clocked in at 140/90, slightly above normal but not high enough to elicit a pill or much alarm. But when he went to see Dr. Ting Choon Meng, the Singapore general practitioner decided to monitor Ho's blood pressure with a black plastic wristwatch he had designed and named the BPro. The device, worn for 24 hours, revealed a wave pattern showing...
...your watch) and "finger" batteries (think AA). Ions travel from an anode, pass through a solution called an electrolyte to a cathode and emerge as an electrical charge. Instead of running ions through metal casings full of toxic and corrosive substances like lithium and alkaline, Enfucell uses a thin paper sheet as a conduit. It pastes one side with zinc and the other side with manganese dioxide. Ions flow through an electrolyte solution of water and zinc chloride within the paper...

...joke by imitating Bono’s legato quaver. The “Wish You Were Here” intro harkens back to “Jessie’s Girl,” and “Burning Photographs” references the work of another famous Springsteen. Thin Lizzy quotes abound, and so do hooks. Plus the album’s mixed and mastered nearly as well as vintage AC/DC; it sounds loud at nearly every volume level.Sure, a lot of “Rock N Roll” is shitty, but the same goes for the genre...
