Canucks could get Raymond back Saturday
Apr 5, 2013, 8:08 PM EDT
The Vancouver Canucks look like they're getting healthier, although Ryan Kesler's progress remains limited (at best).
The former Selke winner didn't practice on Friday, but the Vancouver Province reports that Mason Raymond (shoulder), Dale Weise (shoulder) and Keith Ballard (foot) did.
Alain Vigneault said that he probably won't inject all three players back into the lineup, but it sounds like Raymond (and maybe Weise) will be back.
Raymond, 27, has been bothered by a shoulder injury for a bit, sidelining him since March 30. He has 18 points in 35 games.
The speedy forward has extra motivation to finish this season on a high note because his one-year contract expires in the summer.

With the acquisition of Roy and Lapierre playing much better lately, getting Kesler back isn't so much important for what he adds right now (although obviously that would be a huge boost) but for the sake of giving him enough time to get back into form before the playoffs. We've got less than a month now and I'd hate to have to just throw him into the playoffs cold.

Duke introduces Jabari Parker in their latest Summer Grind (VIDEO)
Sep 4, 2013, 2:17 PM EDT
Yesterday, a video of Tennessee's Jeronne Maymon draped in boa constrictors and working his way through rehab with a spoken word version of Johnny Cash playing in the background made the rounds on the internet because, well, that's so ridiculous it's awesome.
On Tuesday, Duke also released the latest in their preseason Summer Grind series, this one featuring incoming freshman Jabari Parker, a kid from Chicago's violent south side that grew up a practicing Mormon.
"I'm from the South Side of Chicago," Parker says in the video. "A place where nothing is given to you. It drives me to represent the city well. To whom much is given, much is required. That's a scripture my mom taught. Make the most of the talent you have, it's on me to expand my potential."
It may not be as brash and in-your-face as Maymon's video, but this production from Duke sure does a good job encapsulating one of the nation's most unique recruits.

TKC Health TestUpdate 30th August:TKC Health Test2 years ago in Personal More Like This
To bring a faster pace to the health testing process we decided to drop the certificates. Owners will have to apply on this journal like usual but we will not be giving out certificates only the results of the dog through a comment like this- link.
Since the owner won´t have a certificate to link to as proof, a user can instead copy the link to the results comment by right-clicking on the time when the comment was placed and saving the link, that way people get directed to the results comment.
What is the Health Test?
We have adapted the health test to correspond to the breeding rules that are seen in the majority of the kennels here. Among those most commonly seen rules are 'only realistic colors' and no hereditary illnesses'. If your dog passes this test, he, or she is sure to be accepted as a breeding partner in the majority of kennels here on darpg.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
19 Sep 2011 15:15 GMT
Amie Williams is the director of The Dreamers, a film that follows a group of young people in North Carolina as they fight to stop undocumented youngsters being deported and to turn their dreams into law. Here she reflects on the making of the film and why she now believes just a few people really can make a big difference.
His mother and sister are there, looking cool and composed, but I know it must be torture for them. I am the mother of a 15-year-old son and if I was in this situation I would be a wreck. We caravan to the court building, and wait outside in the parking lot for a moment. There is hesitation on everyone's part, as if wanting to stop the clock. Would this be the last time we all see Erick?I am not allowed to film inside the courtroom, but I can go and observe. It is like traffic court; there are others there in line - a woman with a baby, a teenage boy, an entire West African family.Erick's turn comes, and it takes less than five minutes. A quick exchange between his judge and his lawyer (who came pro bono thanks to the Dream Team movement), and he is granted two more months; a kind of deferred decision, but not the official deferral the Dream Team was hoping for. They had wanted a suspension of the deportation order so Erick could wait out the result of the Dream Act legislation still being debated in Congress, but the judge basically gave him two more months so that letters of appeal to the national Immigration and Naturalisation (INS) offices could be read and responded to. In short, his status is still unresolved; he is still technically illegal and could be deported at any time.Back outside amidst a small group of local reporters, Erick and the team try to keep on positive faces, but I can sense the tension, the disappointment. Viridiana Martinez, the Dream Team activist we have been following for the film, goes off on one reporter, talking about the broken economic system being linked to the broken immigration system. It is such an awful moment for me.Spending only a brief time with these young people, I am extremely moved by their resolve, bravery and perseverance. I had an argument with my boyfriend about their approach, how naïve it seems, since there are so few of them and without a critical mass, how are they ever going to be taken seriously? I disagreed. I do think a few powerful people can make a difference. I have witnessed this already. If not for the broader public, then for the change it triggers within themselves. I can now see Erick has a stronger focus and purpose, what he is doing helps hundreds of others like him who are hiding in the shadows. Viridiana may be bad at returning phone calls, but she is brilliant at confrontation, and turning that confrontation into action.My favourite scene in the film is her confronting the Republican state representative in the legislature. It is so classic, when he says "we are a country of laws," and she responds, "yeah, but we're also a country of dreams".It took these kinds of people during the suffragist and civil rights movements to turn dreams into laws, and I am so proud to have been asked to produce this film.

Recent Manteo reviews
"This condo was perfect for our family of four. There was ample room for all, both front and rear balconies with excellent views. One of the local Dolphin Tours picks you up just a few steps away from the condo. We used the full kitchen to save on cost of eating out each meal. In addition there is a community swimming pool that was fabulous for the boys after some busy days. The island was easy to get around and close enough to all of the local activities. Will be on our list of "got to do this again"."Guest: Keith, Tami and the boys Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 8, 2015View listing
"We found the Island Loft to be charming, comfortable, cozy, and convenient. The location was great for walking to the Manteo Waterfront, to the Festival Park, and to shops and restaurants. As we walked about, we met a number of the locals, who warmly welcomed us to Manteo. We very much enjoyed some of the other activities on Roanoke Island: the Elizabethan Gardens, The Lost Colony production in the outdoors waterfront theater, and the Elizabeth II sailing ship and other features of the Festival Park. And minutes away was the beach in Nags Head. The Island Loft kitchen was well-supplied for preparing meals. Another plus was that the owners were easy to reach by phone for answering any questions. We are thankful we discovered the Island Loft through VRBO and definitely recommend it!"Guest: D & B Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 21, 2015View listing
"This home is so welcoming and in a great location. Being in Manteo kept us off the main drags on the Outer Banks in the evenings but allowed easy access during the day. So much to do just on Roanoke that we hardly had time for the beach! Wish we could have stayed longer, Baum house felt like a home away from home!"Guest: Jen & Kathy Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 24, 2015View listing
"Great condo with a great view of the marina. 5 minute ride to the beach. Pirates cove pool and activities fun for all. Fishing charter on Deserado 3 tuna and 1 mahi mahi.. Chef cooked up catch in restaurant that was fantastic. Best vacation in a long time and we have traveled a lot.. Condo clean well stocked just bring you... Plenty of beds for all. Kids loved the shipwatch area to game. Thanks Bill for a great stay. Will return again especially since we are moving back to the U.S. after living overseas for 5 years!"Guest: Debra W.

New England Patriots Rumors: Will Jared Allen Be Coming To Foxboro?
The New England Patriots have been in the process of upgrading the pass rush for a while now. It's better than it was just a couple of years ago, but they still could use another dependable edge rusher. With free agency set to begin, adding a defensive end like Jared Allen could do just that.
Allen, who has been one of the most productive pass rushers in the NFL for several years now, was expected to be available on the open market this spring. Now that the Minnesota Vikings have inked Everson Griffen to a long-term deal, Allen has played his last game in a Vikings uniform for sure.
The Patriots don't want to break the bank for any of their free agent signings this offseason — that much we can be certain of. But Allen is the kind of veteran who might be willing to take a little less money to join a team that has a chance to compete for a championship. While not the elite pass rusher he once was, Allen could still help the team as long as he comes at a reasonable price.
New England finished tied for 20th in total sacks last year, a number that has to increase for a team that wants to squeeze one more title out of the Tom Brady era. Rob Ninkovich is one of the most underrated players in the league right now, and Chandler Jones is on his way to being one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.
If Allen still has enough left in the tank to match his 11.5 sacks last year and comes at a discounted price because he wants to play on a contender, his addition could put them in the top half of the team sack list next season — and hopefully back at the top of the standings.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
03 Oct 2010 18:45 GMT | Sport, France
Liverpool's terrible start to the season continued as they lost 2-1 at home to promoted Blackpool while Didier Drogba tormented Arsenal again as Chelsea stretched their lead at the top of the English Premier League.
Blackpool had an afternoon to remember at Anfield to leave Roy Hodgson's side in the bottom three with just six points.
In the early kickoff on Sunday, France striker Hatem ben Arfa suffered a suspected broken leg in an incident that broadcasters refused to show on replay during Newcastle United's 2-1 away defeat to Manchester City.
Seasiders Blackpool stunned Liverpool with a 29th-minute penalty from Charlie Adam after a clumsy tackle from defender Glen Johnson and a second goal at the end of the first half from Luke Varney.
Sotirios Kyrgiakos pulled one back for Liverpool after 53 minutes but the home side, who lost misfiring striker Fernando Torres with an injury after nine minutes, could do nothing to save the match.
Drogba took his tally to 13 goals in 13 appearances against Arsenal with a shot that went in off the post five minutes before the break after Arsenal had dominated much of the opening half.
Saturday October 2 Birmingham 0-2 Everton Stoke City 1-0 Blackburn Sunderland 0-0 Man Utd Tottenham 2-1 Aston Villa West Brom 1-1 Bolton West Ham 1-1 Fulham Wigan Athletic 2-0 Wolves Sunday October 3 Man City 2-1 Newcastle Liverpool 1-2 Blackpool Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
Alex sealed the win with a blistering free kick late in the game.
Chelsea, who have beaten Arsenal in their last four league matches, top the table with 18 points from seven games, followed by City on 14, Manchester United on 13 and Arsenal on 11.
At the City of Manchester Stadium Ben Arfa, who signed for Newcastle on loan from Marseille in the summer, was carried off on a stretcher after a powerful challenge from City's Dutch midfielder Nigel De Jong.
Ben Arfa's left leg buckled as De Jong's momentum carried him forward.
The nature of the injury was so upsetting that ESPN television, broadcasting the match live, decided not to show replays of the incident.
Adam Johnson, who had only been on the pitch three minutes, scored a superb goal 15 minutes from time after collecting the ball on the right, jinking his way past two defenders and curling a low shot into the far corner of the Newcastle net.
Newcastle manager Chris Hughton said of Ben Arfa: "At the moment, it seems as if it's a broken leg. Whether it's the tibia or the fibula, we will have to confirm that."
City went ahead with a penalty after Newcastle defender Mike Williamson was adjudged to have brought down Carlos Tevez.
Tevez picked himself up and smashed the ball low past Tim Krul for the opener after 18 minutes.
Newcastle were level six minutes later when Vincent Kompany made a poor clearance from a shot from Jonas Gutierrez whose powerful volley on the rebound gave Joe Hart no chance.
Newcastle's injury misfortune continued when they lost Fabrico Coloccini after 38 minutes.
He was replaced by Sol Campbell who made his league debut for the club and became only the second player, after Ryan Giggs, to have played in all 19 seasons of the Premier League's existence.

It seems like every day the editors at Core77 receive at least a dozen pleas from designers who have elected to get on the hamster wheel of crowdfunding. In fact, it's become so ubiquitous, we've dedicated a whole category to kickstarting designs. Undoubtedly, 2012 is the year that crowdfunding went mainstream, but now that it's firmly established as a viable way to start a project or business, it's going to start maturing. Don Lehman, Core77 contributor and author of our series, The Crowdfunding Revolution, identifies a few areas of growth for 2013:
Core77 editor hipstomp has a slightly more pessimistic view on what the Kickstarter rendering ban might mean for designers: "[The ban] really reinforces the fact that just as we think the general public is finally beginning to understand our profession, turns out they ain't."But despite the general uncertainty for the future of crowdfunded products, here are some of our favorite crowdfunded projects from 2012:

Suppose you're developing a shared library
And you have a static library
libstatic.a with some internal classes and functionality you need. You'd like to link it to your

g++ -o libshared.so -shared myObj.o -lstatic
Also you have an
executable.sh which will use your

dlopen("libshared.so", RTLD_NOW)
You know this executable was as well statically linked against
libstatic.a (but you're not sure the version of the library is exactly the same as yours).

Is it safe and correct to statically link your

Orange Santa Clara pairs Intel Medfield and Android in an affordable package
Orange has announced its newest own-brand handset - and it's one that's sure to make waves. Codenamed the Orange Santa Clara, it's a high-end Android handset running on Intel's Medfield platform.
"The aim is to be able to complete in terms of specs and performance with the high-end smartphones," Patrick Remy, vice-president of devices at Orange, told Pocket-lint. "This is why we've worked with Intel on this product because that's what the Intel chip brings to the mix."
If the handset looks familiar, that's because it's almost the same design as the Smartphone Reference Design that Intel was showing at CES 2012. The manufacturer is currently unknown, although we believe it to be one of the big Taiwanese companies.
But that's beside the point. As an own-brand handset, Remy tells us it will be priced aggressively for those on contracts who can't quite stretch to one of the top-tier handsets like the HTC One X, just announced.
It doesn't feel like a budget device in the hand. It may not have been through microarc oxidation in manufacturing, but it feels sturdy enough. More importantly, from our preliminary playtime with the phone, it was snappy, smooth and offered a great-quality display.
In terms of the actual tech specs, the Orange Santa Clara uses the Intel Atom 1.6GHz Z2460 processor. It features a 4-inch display with a 1024 x 600 resolution, giving you a pixel density of 294.
In terms of physical connectivity, you get mini HDMI and Micro-USB and on the wireless front it's well connected too, giving you HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.1, AGPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n and NFC. Being an Orange handset, it also gives you HD Voice.
Surprisingly for an own-brand handset you get an 8-megapixel camera on the back with 1080p video capture and a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front. It also features burst photo capture at 10fps for all those action moments.
There is plenty of internal storage at 16GB and one of Intel's claims for its smartphone chipset is that it will give you good battery performance - 14 days standby. Of course, how this turns into real-world usage we've yet to see. The phone measures 123 x 63 x 9.99mm and weighs 117g.
As this is an Orange handset, as Remy told us "it offers an Orange experience". That means you'll get Orange gestures and its run of service apps preinstalled - for example, Orange Wednesdays.
But outside that, the Orange Santa Clara will be launching on Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread, with Remy telling us: "Ice Cream Sandwich will be available soon after launch."
It's worth noting that the name Santa Clara is only a codename. The commercial name will be announced at the moment of launch in the summer, along with the pricing. However, previous information leaked from an Orange customer survey suggests the phone will be the Orange London.
Unfortunately at our first meeting with the phone we weren't able to take any pictures, but we'll get you a full gallery of hands-on photos as soon as we have the chance.

BERLIN – Radical Islamists turned a bustling shopping district in Berlin on
Saturday into the center of a pro-Iranian- regime and Hezbollah demonstration
commemorating al-Quds Day.Police officials told The Jerusalem Post that
roughly 900 Islamists marched along the Kurfürstendamm shopping strip, calling
for the abolition of the Jewish state.Supporters of Hezbollah and Iran
blanketed the area with Hezbollah flags and chants declaring "Zionists are
fascists."The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini, launched the al-Quds Day demonstration in 1979 as a protest
against Israel's right to exist.Berlin has been the stage for these
protests since 1996.On Saturday, pro-Israel groups mounted a
counter-demonstration at Joachimstaler Square and Kurfürstendamm.Jochen
Feilcke, head of the Berlin and Potsdam German-Israel friendship society, told
the more than 100 attendees that "there should be no al-Quds demonstrations in
the future in Berlin" and that "Holocaust-deniers and enemies of Israel" should
be denied access to Berlin streets to protest.The coalition of
pro-Israel groups protested under the umbrella name "No al-Quds Day – Against
anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and Homophobia – Solidarity with the democracy
movement in Iran."Feilcke complained that the police boxed Israel
supporters into a gated area and permitted Islamists to march freely."I
consider it intolerable that the Israel supporters are locked in a cage," he
said.Although there were no Bundestag deputies at the rally to support
Israel, a Social Democratic party city council representative was spotted in the
crowd. Klaus Lederer, chairman of the German Left party in Berlin, also rallied
in favor of Israel. A minority voice within the largely anti- Israel Left party,
Lederer has rejected hate directed at the Jewish state and defended its right to
self-defense.Israel supporters at the rally told the Post it was
shocking that no members of the Bundestag attended the protest.Despite
the EU's decision in late July to outlaw Hezbollah's military wing, yellow
Hezbollah flags featuring the AK-47 rifle were waved at the march.One
young woman wore a small flag as an earring. Berlin authorities and government
officials took no action against the show of military propaganda, prompting
criticism from the American Jewish Committee.Deidre Berger, head of the
AJC's Berlin office, said on Saturday that "today's Hezbollah demonstration is a
provocation and shows that the partial ban of Hezbollah is inadequate," because
its members and supporters can display their military symbols without security
officers intervening.According to German intelligence reports from 2012,
there are 250 active Hezbollah members in Berlin and 950 across the Federal
Republic.The country is a major source of fund-raising for the
group.The group – the Hezbollah controlled Waisenkinderprojekt Libanon
e.V, meaning "Orphans Project Lebanon – sends money to the families of suicide
bombers. German authorities have refused to shut down Waisenkinderprojekt's
fund-raising operations.A second pro-Israel demonstration organized by
young anti-fascist Germans ran parallel to the coalition of Jewish and
non-Jewish groups who turned out at Joachimstaler Square.The anti-fascist
groups first protested at Adenauer Square to confront the start of the al-Quds
marchers.Invoking the slogan "Against anti-Semitism and Islamism: No
al-Quds Day," the anti-fascists urged supporters to turn out. According to the
website of the anti-fascist groups, 250 activists appeared at Adenauer
Square.Observers said at least 50 antifascists showed up at the rally of
the coalition groups.

|Attach a smart polymer to your gold nanocage, seen here in cross section with the pores at the corners. To load the cages, shake them in a solution of the drug at a temperature above the polymer's critical temperature. Let the cages cool, so that the polymer chains stand up like brushes, sealing the cage's pores. To release the drug, expose the cages to laser light (the lightning bolt) at their resonant frequency, heating them just enough to drive the polymer over its critical temperature. The polymer chains will collapse, opening the pores, and releasing the drug. The cage can be resealed simply by turning off the light. Credit: Younan Xia, Washington University in St. Louis
A gold nanocage covered with a polymer is a smart drug delivery system
In campy old movies, Lucretia Borgia swans around emptying powder from her ring into wine glasses carelessly left unattended. The poison ring is usually a confection of gold filigree holding a cabochon or faceted gemstone that can be broken to empty the ring's contents. It is invariably enormous — so large it is rather odd nobody seems to notice it.
Lucretia would have given her eyeteeth for the "smart capsule" devised in Younan Xia's laboratory at Washington University in St. Louis. A tiny cage of gold covered with a smart polymer, it responds to light, opening to empty its contents, and resealing when the light is turned off. Infinitely more cunning and discreet than Lucretia's ring, the nanocage is too small to be seen — except indirectly: billions change the color of liquid in a test tube.
No Lucretia, Xia is a healer rather than a poisoner. The smart nanocage is designed to be filled with a medicinal substance, such as a chemotherapy drug or bactericide. Releasing carefully titrated amounts of a drug only near the tissue that is the drug's intended target, this delivery system will maximize the drug's beneficial effects while minimizing its side effects.
The method for making the capsules and tests of their performance appeared online on Nov. 1, 2009, as part of the advance online publications program of the journal Nature Materials.
The first step in making a smart capsule is to mix up a batch of silver nanocubes. Tiny single-crystal cubes of silver can be made by adding silver nitrate (AgNO3) to a solution that donates electrons to the silver ions, allowing them to precipitate as solid silver. The addition of another chemical encourages the silver atoms to deposit on some parts of a seed crystal rather than others, coaxing the seeds to form sharp-edged cubes rather than misshapen lumps.
A second step clips all eight corners off the cubes.
The clipped silver cubes then serve as "sacrificial templates," on which the gold cages take shape. When the silver nanocubes are heated in cloroauric acid (HAuCl4), the gold ions in the acid steal electrons from the silver atoms in the cubes. The silver dissolves and the gold precipitates.
A gold skin forms on the silver cubes as the cubes are hollowed out from within. The silver atoms enter solution through pores that form in the clipped corners of the cubes.
"But the really cool part," says Xia, "and the cool part of nanotechnology generally, is that the tiny gold cages have very different properties than bulk gold." In particular, they respond differently to light.
The physicist Michael Faraday was the first to realize that a suspension of gold particles glowed ruby-red because the particles were extremely small. "His original sample of a gold colloid is still in the Faraday Museum in London," says Xia, Ph.D., the James M. McKelvey Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. "Isn't that amazing? It's over 150 years later and it's still there."
The color is caused by a physical effect called surface plasmon resonance. Some of the electrons in the gold particles are not anchored to individual atoms but instead form a free-floating electron gas. Light falling on these electrons can drive them to oscillate as one. This collective oscillation, the surface plasmon, picks a particular wavelength, or color, out of the incident light, and this is the color we see.
The strong response at a particular wavelength, called resonance, is what makes a violin string vibrate at a particular pitch or lets a kid pump a swing high in the sky by kicking at just the right moment.
What's more, the surface plasmon resonance is tunable in much the same sense that a violin is tunable.
"Faraday used solid particles to make his colloid," comments Xia. "You can tune the resonant wavelength by changing the particles' size, but only within narrow limits. You can't get to the wavelengths we want."
The wavelengths he wants are the ones at which human tissue is relatively transparent, so that cages in the bloodstream can be opened by laser light shone on the skin.
The color of nanocages can be tuned over a wider range than solid particles by altering the thickness of the cages' walls, says Xia. As more gold is deposited and the shells thicken, a suspension of nanocages shifts from red, to purple, to bright blue, to dark blue, to the wavelengths in the near-infrared.
Xia's team wants to hit a narrow window of tissue transparency that lies between 750 and 900 nanometers, in the near-infrared. This window is bordered on one side by wavelengths strongly absorbed by blood and on the other by those strongly absorbed by water.
Light in this sweet spot can penetrate as deep as several inches in the body.
"People used to do a demonstration at talks," Xia says, laughing. "They'd put a red diode laser in their mouths, and the audience could see it from outside, because the diode's wavelength is 780 nanometers, a wavelength at which flesh is pretty transparent."
Here things get even trickier and yet more amazing. The resonance actually has two parts. At the resonant frequency, light can be scattered off the cages, absorbed by them, or a combination of these two processes.
Just as they can tune the surface plasmon resonance, the scientists can adjust how much energy is absorbed rather than scattered by manipulating the size and porosity of the nanocages.
Xia illustrates the difference between scattering and absorption with a marvelous Roman artifact, the 4th-century Lycurgus Cup. The cup looks jade-green from the outside but turns pink when lit from the inside.
Modern analysis shows the ancient glass contains nanoparticles of a silver-gold alloy that scatters light strongly at a wavelength in the green part of the spectrum. When the cup is lit from inside, however, the green light is absorbed, and we see the remaining light, which is predominantly red, the complementary color to green.
It's actually the absorption component that the scientists exploit to open and close the nanocages. When the light is absorbed it is converted to heat, and the nanocages are covered with a special polymer that responds to heat in an interesting way.
The polymer, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), and its derivatives has what's called a critical temperature. When it reaches this temperature it undergoes a transformation called a phase change.
If the temperature is lower than the critical temperature, the polymer chains are water-loving and stand out from the cage like brushes. The brushes seal the cage's pores and prevent its cargo from leaking out. If the temperature is above the critical temperature, on the other hand, the polymer chains shun water, shrink together and collapse. As they shrink, the pores of the cage open, and its contents flood out.
"It's a bit counter-intuitive," says Xia. "Typically when you go to higher temperature, a molecule will expand, but this one does the opposite."
Like everything else about this system, the polymer is tunable. The scientists can control its critical temperature by altering its composition. For medical applications, they tune the critical temperature to one right above body temperature (37 degrees Celsius) but well below 42 degrees Celsius (107 degree Fahrenheit), the temperature at which heat would begin to kill cells.
Next comes the fun part. Once they had made their smart capsules, the scientists tested them by loading them with a bright red dye called alazarin crimson, or rose madder. The dye made it easy to detect and measure any release with a spectrometer.
The cages were loaded by shaking them in a solution of the dye at a temperature above the critical temperature of the smart polymer. Next, they were dunked in an ice bath to trigger the polymer to close the pores and trap the dye inside the cages. The cages were then opened again by bathing them in the light of a near-infrared laser. Absorbed light warmed the gold cages above the critical temperature and provoked the polymer's phase change. The polymer collapsed, the cages' pores were exposed, and dye spilled out.
Next the team loaded capsules with doxorubicin, a common chemotherapy drug and, triggering the drug's release with a laser, killed breast cancer cells growing in wells on a plastic plate.
And finally, they loaded the capsules with an enzyme that snips open the cell walls of bacteria and used them to kill a bacterium that is a normal part of the flora of our mouths and throats.
Lucretia, eat your heart out.

Nice review, man. I was supposed to review this album, but I found very little to enjoy from it.
Digging: bansheebeat - Lumine
Album Rating: 3.5Thanks. As ever with their albums I struggled with some of it but there are some really lovely moments that make it worthwhile i think.
Another great review. Have a pos.
