From @shortney70, Would you ever consider doing TV again? If so, what type of show would you want to do? I would and will do TV again at some point. I love live TV so what ever I do it will be live. Live is dangerous disruptive...
...years to as much as six years; laptops used to last about three years; now consumers are getting an extra year out of them. "Parents are asking kids to make use of existing resources, just like companies," Kumar says. Over the past four years, Beemer has asked consumers which type of electronics item they would be most likely to buy for their children for school. Computers were the most popular item every time. This year, the most popular item was calculators, which makes sense. They're cheaper, and a tool for parents who want to teach their kids...
...1970s, at the behest of the Philippines' footwear-loving former First Lady Imelda Marcos, who wanted to promote local shoemakers, it seemed on the brink of dereliction when its original tenants began to close down due to cheap Southeast Asian competition. Rents plummeted and, in 2004, a different type of resident moved in. Suddenly, hollow store units were populated by funky art galleries and vintage boutiques, cool cafés and quirky antique shops. This new community dubbed itself Cubao X, a moniker that reflected its eclectic, bohemian spirit...
...differently than the bisphosphonates, which are designed to paralyze bone-destroying cells - cells that increase in number as people age. While the body continually destroys and replaces bone tissue throughout life, the destruction eventually begins to overtake the construction, and the result in older age is a patchier, weaker type of bone that is more prone to breaking. While bisphosphonates block the activity of bone-destroying cells, denosumab prevents new ones from forming altogether. The end result is a tipping of the bone balance away from bone destruction and toward bone formation. Early studies in mice at Amgen, the company...
...worker: an influenza outbreak had been reported in Mexico and the first samples of the virus were on their way to London for examination. A virologist who has studied flu for more than 30 years, Daniels knew exactly what he was looking for. Influenza A viruses - the type that can cause pandemics - use a protein called hemagglutinin to bind to the cells of their animal hosts. When a virus jumps from animals to humans, its contagiousness is largely determined by what is called the "binding specificity" of this protein. An alpha-2,3 binding specificity means the virus is well...
