Cancer cells could be collected by a small wearable device plugged into a vein instead of a blood test or a biopsy, according to scientists.
Researchers have invented a small blood screening machine which they say can harvest more than three times as many cancer cells than a blood test.
The watch-sized device works by hooking up to a vein and capturing cancer cells as they pass through it, instead of drawing a pool of blood and hoping to find some.
Tested on dogs, the gadget could be, in medical terms, the difference between CCTV which takes regular photos and that which records a video.
Scientists at the University of Michigan have created a prototype of the device, which they hope will make cancer diagnoses more accurate and less invasive.
It's important to measure cancer cells in the blood, the team said, because those roving cells are the most dangerous and most likely to spark new tumours.
So people with high numbers of circulating tumour cells may be more likely to have dangerous cancer which spreads – the metastatic kind.
And because many cancer cells can't survive in the bloodstream, it can be difficult to find them.
Sometimes traditional blood tests, which may only be of only a tablespoon or so of blood, can miss them completely, the researchers said.
Lead developer Dr Sunitha Nagrath said: '[This is] the difference between having a security camera that takes a snapshot of a door every five minutes or takes a video.
HOW CAN CANCER SPREAD THROUGH THE BLOOD?
Cancerous tumours are made up of living cells which multiply uncontrollably.
While most of these new, dangerous, cells stick to the original tumour, some are released and can travel round the body through the bloodstream.
Moving cancer cells can, if they survive the journey, become lodged in another part of the body and start one of their own tumours – called a satellite tumour.
These metastatic tumours are typically the most dangerous and form secondary cancers which are harder and sometimes impossible to cure.

After picking up fresh blueberries from the farmer’s market this week, I made blueberry jam for the first time, and it turned out delicious.
After I finished slathering this on every single carb we had in the house, I started brainstorming all the other ways I could use it, and suddenly I had a light bulb moment: Blueberry Lemonade!
I know! I know! this sounds a little strange but sometimes these off-the-wall recipe ideas turn out to be really great, and htis was one of those times! Mixing my homemade blueberry jam into some freshly squeezed lemonade turned out to be a genius idea (if I do say so myself)! It’s a great way to flavor up traditional lemonade, and all the sugar in the jam means you don’t have to add any additional sugar if you like your lemonade on the tart side. If you don’t have freshly made blueberry jam (and why not? it’s so easy!), feel free to use any high quality store bought jam or preserves, just stay away from “jellies” because you want more fruit and less gelatin for this recipe.
1. In a large pitcher whisk together lemon juice and blueberry jam.
2. Pour in water and ice and store to combine. Serve cold with a large straw.

what music do you like to listen to while gaming? If you do at all!
Starko wrote: what music do you like to listen to while gaming? If you do at all!
I don't listen to music while gaming unless I'm doing something really boring. I find it distracting as when I listen to music I like to really listen to it, if you know what I mean.
Depends really. If im playing something that has realy awesome music,i'll obviously play through that listening to it. If its a casual game that ive heard the tracks before dozens of times,i just plonk on a playlist depending on playstyle.
I mostly listen to in-game music in normal games.
When I used to play UO, the in-game music somehow caused my client to crash repeatedly (and in most cases during important events), which obviously pissed me off. So I switched it off. Once, when I've been doing one monster spawn with friends, I played TES: Oblivion intro music on winamp and speakers. The repeat was on. I was so immersed in game, that I didn't realise it has been playing all over again for more than 4,5 hours. My then roommate almost went nuts before he overcame his introvert nature and made a sour remark .

I am not listening to OSTs and game music all the time, just ocasionally and the best ones. Of course I love John Williams, James Horner, Vangelis, some stuff from Ennio Morricone and such but I'm not like listening to it always whenI play. To the contrary. It was just one funny story I thought I could share (with you) .

we are talking proper punk right?
ever heard of Fucked Up?
Know I havn't. Mostly I listen the big name bands from the Punk Revolution like Bad Religion, Pennywise, NoFx, Lagwagon, etc.
I listen to music almost all the time. Just not when playing a game.
and a Norwegian band called "Skymarshall arts"
Usually got Ventrilo up when Im gaming..
Back in the day, I would totally sell out to the whole "RAWK OUT METAL WHILE GAMING" stereotype but seriously I found I love listening to sublime, 311, dispatch, etc. Hell I'll even admit to John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and Hurt. Metal music just gets me way to wound up, when I'm PK'n i need to think, calculate, execute, and chill.
Props to whoever said dream theater, btw. John Petrucci is the man, can't say I'm a huge fan of DT vocals, but man can john effing rock that guitar.

A community-based construction and financing model that helps families at the bottom of the pyramid in Mexico build their own homes.
Elisabeth commented on Let's Step into Pravesh's Shoes!
Hi Kyaw. You make a good point about adapting solutions to local circumstances. The work of Generation Enterprise could serve as an interesting model (http://www.generationenterprise.org/). They recruit local entrepreneurs to start small businesses in Lagos, Nigeria and Delhi, India. Candidates undergo a rigorous screening process, and once selected they receive training, support, and funding to get their businesses going. They then work with Generation Enterprise to eventually take full ownership of the small business. It could be interesting to think about how this model could be transposed to serve a rural setting like Pravesh's. I will keep thinking!
Elisabeth commented on Échale a tu casa!
Thanks for your feedback, Eliza. I also think that Echale a tu casa is doing phenomenal work. I don't know about applications for this model in other countries, but I am certainly curious. I'll be sure to post anything that I come up with. Thanks again!
Thank you for this well constructed presentation of Pravesh's case, Kyaw. I posted last week about Echale a tu casa, an organisation in Mexico that helps families in need build their own homes (https://openideo.com/challenge/financial-empowerment-challenge/research/echale-a-tu-casa). They meet bank requirements for loans and mortgages through a community-based financing model in which families pool their savings in a common fund that acts as a guarantee against loans. This is coupled with financial education for community members. I don't know anything about Indian finance regulation, but I wonder if there are similar possibilities there for people like Pravesh. I also thought of the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center (http://www.bylc.org/), an organisation that equips young Bangladeshis with leadership skills via intensive training programs centered around community service and modeled after Harvard University's leadership courses. Apart from his not holding Bangladeshi nationality, Pravesh sounds like an ideal candidate. A similar program in India might help to give him the skills and credibility to move forward with his ideas.

After months of hyping its upcoming Dynamics 365 platform, Microsoft demonstrated the integrated CRM and ERP for its partners and customers on Tuesday. The platform’s selling points include its machine learning, business intelligence and advanced data integration features.
The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant announced that Dynamics 365 will be released next month, giving customers a cloud-based customer relationship and business management solution that delivers predictive insights by using artificial intelligence.
“Everything you saw today is real, and we’ll start making Dynamics 365 available to you to start using November 1st,” Microsoft Executive Vice President Scott Guthrie told attendees of the Microsoft’s Dynamics-focused CRMUG Summit in Tampa, Florida.
“Dynamics 365 is a pivotal release for us,” Guthrie said at the event, thanks to “tremendous new capabilities” that will create opportunities for partners to drive business transformations.
Dynamics 365 is fully integrated with Office 365 and the Cortana Intelligence Suite, making it work seamlessly with Microsoft’s productivity tools, email and business intelligence solutions, he said.
The product, accessible through a mobile app, leverages machine learning algorithms to help sales, service, and marketing agents gain insights into their professional relationships, he added.
Microsoft showcased Dynamics 365 less than a week after CRM rival Salesforce debuted Einstein, an artificial intelligence technology infused into its sales, service and marketing apps.
Guthrie also introduced a variation on the product, Dynamics 365 for Customer Insights, which is built on top of the Azure public cloud and Cortana Intelligence services. Dynamics 365 for Customer Insights allows users to ingest data from almost any source to populate Dynamics and then gain insights by applying machine learning methods.
Existing Dynamics CRM Online customers can automatically upgrade to Dynamics 365—gaining access to the new features and capabilities—without having to make any significant changes or sacrifice any existing functionality, Guthrie said.
And while customers running on-premises CRM and ERP systems don’t need to move to the cloud, Microsoft is offering new migration tools to aid that process for those who would like to, he said.
Transitioning from Dynamics CRM and ERP to Dynamics 365 delivers “a major leap in capabilities,” Wiedower said.
Currently, sales agents, marketers and customer service reps must do a lot of work to generate any sort of business intelligence, Wiedower said. But Dynamics 365 can proactively make suggestions for increasing customer satisfaction, closing deals and effectively marketing to prospects.
Those professionals often distrust CRM systems because they force them to duplicate their activities between Outlook and their CRM, Wiedower told TechOptimlas.
As an example, Dynamics 365 can enable employees to fill timesheets from their Outlook calendar with only a single click, he said.
And because the individual components within Dynamics 365 share a common data model, business processes can be integrated and automated without the need for developers.
While Dynamics 365 liberates customers from relying on developers to build integrated systems, it certainly doesn’t eliminate the need for the channel.
“These technologies are still so new that most customers will need to involve a partner to build capacity in each of these areas,” Wiedower said.
“Unlike Office 365, which can be run by internal IT teams, Dynamics 365 provides a unique chance for partners to construct repeatable intellectual property in specific industry verticals, by segment, to help businesses continuously improve their operations,” he told TechOptimals.

Still dreaming about that $89,900 house in South Carolina that went viral last month? We have good news: Another house has popped up on the market for the same price, and it's every bit as beautiful.
With a wrap-around porch and whimsical turret, this Jackson, Tennessee home has plenty of natural curb appeal. Still, we're itching to add some hanging ferns, bunting and bright red rocking chairs to play off of the cheerful roof color — but that will ultimately be up to the next owners, who will likely have a taste for historical homes (this one dates to 1907), a knack for DIY and a smug sense that they just scored the deal of the century.
The inside has maintained much of its vintage character — note the two sets of tall pocket doors, crown and baseboard molding, hardwood floors, transom windows, mantels and built-ins. With it's original layout intact, there's space for a formal parlor and dining room, plus a small breakfast adjacent to the kitchen.
Overall, it does need some work, according to Brian Joyner, the listing agent for the property. "But the ceilings and walls are in great shape for a house that is 110 years old."
If you're as smitten as we are and up for the challenge, contact Brian at United Country - McIver Land & Realty, (731) 660-5152.

The area around Abbey Road Studios in St. John’s Wood, London, attracts tourists from around the world. They disrupt traffic by walking the zebra crossing that we see on the cover the Beatles album. They sign the fence in front of the studio. They linger in the gift shop next door. The only thing they can’t do is go inside because the facility is a working studio.
From August 8 to 18, Abbey Road is opening its doors to offer tours through the facility. The occasion? The 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ walk across the street for the photograph that appears on the cover of Abbey Road.
I’ve been fortunate enough to pull some strings (twice!) to be shown around Abbey Road. Those visits can only be described as musical mystical tours. To be in Studio 2, home of all the Beatles recordings as well as albums by Pink Floyd, Oasis and countless others, should be on every fan’s bucket list.
The tours will also take groups through Studio 1, a massive gymnasium-sized facility of holding a 65-piece orchestra. It was here that the scores for movies like Star Wars and Harry Potter were recorded. Then there’s studio Studio 3, the smallest of the bunch; Pink Floyd did a lot of work in there.
If you can all swing it, I highly recommended buying tickets NOW. It really is worth it.

4 Questions To Resolve Anger!
For a long time, I had a stressful relationship with my dad. We fell apart after I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa, and from me trying to push him out and him not understanding what I was going through in regards to eating and body image, we stopped talking. Somewhere inside of me, I had built up anger that was directed at him and I just couldn’t bring myself to forgive him or let him go. And he was just clueless, not knowing what was wrong with me and why I didn’t like him, so he stopped trying too.
Before I knew it, it had been almost a year without saying anything to each other, and I was heading off to college. I was still angry inside until my mom gave me a book called Loving What Is, by Byron Katie, and everything changed. Not overnight, but slowly things began to improve between my dad and me.
The book has to do with four simple questions that you ask yourself about a thought or emotion you are experiencing. Because I felt like my dad had distanced himself from my problems, and believed that he loved my brother more than me, I had thoughts like, “He doesn’t love me,” and “I’m never enough for him,” so I worked on these thoughts with what Byron Katie calls “The Work.” I took the thought, “I am never good enough for him,” and put it up against the four questions.
1. Is it true? Is it true that I am never good enough for my dad? Yes.
2. Can you absolutely know that it is true? Can I absolutely know that I am never good enough for my dad?
3. How do you feel when you think this thought? When I think that I’m not good enough for my dad, I feel angry and sad. I become defensive and hot.
4. Who would you be without this thought? Without the thought that I am never good enough for him I would be calm, relaxed, and not so upset. My relationship with my dad would improve and I wouldn’t worry so much about his approval. The next step is to turn the thought around. Here are my turnarounds with examples as to why these are true for me. My dad is never good enough for me because I am constantly judging him. I am good enough for my dad because he does show he is proud of me. I am not good enough for myself because I do not approve of who I am. After doing this work on my thoughts about my dad, I began to see things differently. My eyes started to open to things I haven’t seen before. If I wanted my dad to approve of me and accept me for who I was, I first had to approve and accept him as he was. When I turned around my thought, even though it was hard to realize, I saw that my behavior toward my dad was the problem, not him. I failed to remember that he was just doing what he knew how to do, he was trying his best. It was me who needed to approve of myself, not my Dad.
Forgiveness had never come easy to me. I always felt as though I was the one who deserved the forgiving, but something changed the day I read this book. I forgave my dad. I forgave him and accepted him, and in turn, I accepted myself. I gave my dad what I wanted from him and our relationship turned around. I gave myself what I wanted from him and I turned myself around. The Work can be helpful for every thought you have or problem you are facing, as it allows you to look at your life and yourself in a new light. I understand that sometimes it can be painful questioning your thoughts, especially ones that have been with you for a long time, and it’s not an overnight process.
Sometimes I would cry myself to sleep over my responses or want to tear the page apart because there was no way I could forgive my dad. But if you give it time and patience, a change will start happening inside of you. You will learn to see the person in a different way. You will see that everyone is just trying their best with what they have in this moment, and even if you believe they don’t deserve forgiveness, you deserve to be at peace.

A study by Integral Ad Science in the later part of 2014 found that brand safety was one of the top concerns among digital media buyers, second only to ad fraud. Meanwhile an Undertone study showed that 71% of the agencies polled and 65% of marketers rank brand safe environments as their first and second priority when buying programmatically.
However, despite this clearly being a priority to advertisers and agencies alike, the press is rife with examples of advertising placement going wrong for brands. Oxfam suffered last year when its ads appeared against extremist ISIS videos on YouTube. In April this year, a number of top-tier brands including M&S, O2, ASDA and B&Q discovered that their adverts were appearing on explicit websites. These are not small brands nor low-value campaigns; brand safety equally impacts the largest advertisers.
From an advertising platform perspective, new initiatives such as the premium marketplace created by the newly formed Pangaea Alliance offer a seal of high-quality, brand-safe inventory. However, security comes at a cost and inventory purchased from Pangaea attracts a justifiable premium over standard, low-cost digital stock.
There are products on the market from players such as Integral Ad Science and DoubleVerify, both of whom operate a blacklist of publishers and operate at the pre-bid stage, and real-time filtering solutions such as Grapeshot. However, although all of these solutions offer brands a much-increased level of security and comfort, the industry approach to solving these challenges remains fragmented and it can be very difficult for advertisers to see through the marketing-speak of the technology providers involved and establish which are actually taking this problem seriously and proactively looking to resolve the issues involved.
The importance of this issue and the challenges of resolution have lead to the key players in the UK advertising industry including the IAB, ISBA, IPA and others, the Joint Industry Committee for Web Standards (JICWEBS) and the Digital Trading Standards Group (DTSG), establishing the UK Good Practice Principles. The intention of these principles is to significantly reduce the risk of misplacement of display advertising on digital media, uphold brand safety and protect the integrity of digital advertising. They not only detail the types of technical steps that must be taken throughout the advertising supply chain to reduce the likelihood of any brand-safety issues occurring, they also establish a certification scheme whereby operators in this market can be certified as being compliant with the principles.
Signatories to these principles will have their ad misplacement minimisation polices independently verified by JICWEBS approved provider within 6 months and then once every year. Such accreditation will, it is hoped, give brands a clear sign that the ad tech vendors are on the same page and are working to resolve these issues.
Key industry players such as AMNET, AppNexus, Captify and Unruly have already gained independent verification and hence are certified to use the Good Practice Principles Seal. Going forward JICWEBS hopes that further publishers will begin to adopt the principles to ensure brand safety on inventory that is not directly under their control; this is particularly important as platforms increasingly apply audience extension techniques to deliver advertising beyond their sites and throughout the wider internet. It remains to be seen as to how widely the principles will be adopted but this industry initiative is clearly a very important step to finding a permanent solution to brand safety concerns.

For his first album with Sony Classical - ‘A Different Forest’ - the renowned pianist and composer does away with his customary preparations to return to the sound of the pure piano. The single ‘Curious’ offers the first glimpse at the central themes of the album: The experience of nature as the basis for Hauschka’s understanding of life and the composition of music.

Here at Daddy's Day Cave we are men. We have children. We have no Kale, Kleenexes or Kisses. Just stuff that men need to survive in a world that has gone un-MANLY.
And Daddy's gonna take care of it!
Beer: Yes. Those Sumerians knew what men liked 3900 years ago. You can't but that sugary, starchy liquid sauce here, you can look good drinking it!
Beards: The history of civilisation is full of men with hairy faces. Vikings, Romans, Crusaders and Hipsters. Try as they might, we will never give up our facial freedom!

Do you ever have a nail polish that you covet for months and months (and months) until finally you succumb to its beauty and purchase it? Well, that was me when it came to Rescue Beauty Lounge Will They Won't They. This stunner from Summer 2014's Anatomy of a #KDrama Collection instantly captured my heart and soul -- but it wasn't until recently that I finally took the plunge.
Rescue Beauty Lounge's creator, Ji Baek, describes Will They Won't They as "lighter and flirtier than our beloved Insouciant," and I think she's right on the money. Insouciant has long been one of my RBL favorites (just see here and here for proof), so it's really no wonder that I'm just as in love with its paler cousin!
Let's talk about that sparkle, shall we?
I really think that Ji creates glimmery, shimmery, sparkly polishes like no other. She has a way of making me want every single polish she dreams up! Plus I love when she bakes the shimmer into the polish so the removal is super easy.
I was lucky enough to snag this shade during RBL's recent 50% off sale, but normally, Rescue Beauty Lounge Will They Won't They retails for $20 at rescuebeauty.com.
This is an absolutely stunning shade, and it's gorgeous on you!
Amazing shade... RBL is so fabulous!
That polish has my name written ALL OVER IT.
Such a pretty shade. I don't have many RBL polishes but the ones I have I really like.
OMG this is such a beauty of a shade! I've never tried RBL polishes but I've heard great things about them.
Love the color combo, I feel it is a good year round shade. Right now I am obsessed with Butter Allure.
That's a gorgeous shade and I really like that it can be used year round but versatile for Fall.

It’s almost that time of year again, isn’t it? All those awful people, circulating around with their haircuts and their glasses of acidic fizzy plonk, looking at each other in rooms full of art. It’s art-fair time. To those as likes a painting, a sculpture, a collage, a room full of nothing or a room full of nobodies, this is a season of delight. And to those as can afford to buy any of the aforementioned, it’s a redoubled delight; a serious delight.
Day two, day three, and the red dots have proliferated like an epidemic of architectural measles. I can no more afford to buy serious art, I regret to say, than I would be able to afford to insure it: even if someone gave me an itty-bitty Sarah Lucas it would end up living in a double-padlocked container at the Big Yellow Storage on the North Circular. So I’m as it were a bystander. And for me red dot time is where the fairs get really interesting. Where does the measles strike? Who’s buying? And how much?
This is great fun. It’s not too much to consider it as almost an art event in itself: the performative pleasure that the extremely wealthy and well-advised connoisseur gives to the civilian by allowing his acquisitions to be gazetted in real time. The pleasure and instruction we can take in marvelling at what gets bought and sold! The action of money on the art is enlivening.
Unlike a curated exhibition at, for instance, one of the Tates, the Saatchi Gallery or the RA — where nothing’s for sale, you know everything’s supposed to be good and your only response is to stroke your chin or inwardly shake your head — you’re seeing the tentative formation of a canon in real time.
These are people putting their own money down on their taste; or, for investors, placing bets on the market; or, in most cases, both. And the market is itself sort of fascinating — influenced as it is partly by movements in taste, partly by blatant insider trading, partly by guessing which way the herd goes and betting on that.
SO YOU MIGHT think that the one art fair at which I can plausibly expect to be able to buy art is the one that I would enjoy the most. That fair, of course, is the Affordable Art Fair — and I hope that mention of its name alone isn’t enough to get me expelled from the pages of a magazine aimed squarely at those for whom the word ‘affordable’ could be construed as either redundant or insulting.
But look, here’s the thing. I go along to it — last year I went with my now wife hellbent on buying us Our First Piece Of Art Together — and I find myself racked with anxiety. I can cope with art that’s not for sale. I positively delight in art that I can’t in a million years afford. But when confronted by art with which I plausibly could walk home, my mouth dries and my hands start to tremble.
Every bland and reassuring aesthetic certainty I have flies from me. I search my soul and find I have no idea whether any given piece is beautiful and clever or banal and stupid, twee or cute, naive or just inept. It’s like choosing paint for the living room in Farrow & Ball, except each tin costs a grand.
Is this how Dasha Zhukova feels at a White Cube show? Is this how a Saatchi feels at Sotheby’s? I can’t think so. But it makes me realise that I am such a one as will always get more pleasure out of watching poker on TV than playing it with more than £20 at stake.
It is for that reason that I all the more salute those who do buy art. Yes, even those buying Damien Hirst, infra-dig though he now is — in fact, I salute them especially, as they ride bravely skywards on what more and more are now saying is the biggest bubble since Facebook. Only their preparedness to do so gives us that trail of red dots to cogitate on, and brings the art fairs around which we mortals tramp into thrilling relief. I’d like to imagine they’d derive similar pleasure and instruction from watching me go round the Affordable Art Fair, but I suppose they would not.
