Extraordinary Claims » Electronic Tattoo: Monitors Vital Organs Zazen Life January 6, 2012 by breakinbadd Electronic Tattoo One problem of our current medical treatment process is that many medical diagnostics are bulky and expensive, limiting where they can be used. If our doctors had access to sensors small enough to wear, we could better keep track of our health everywhere — not just in the hospital. Scientists and engineers discovered a way to basically shrink all of these bulky medical instruments into a thin (30 microns) polyester sheet with NO mass. Usually, to monitor major body parts, doctors would have to use very large and heavy pieces of equipment, but they would not be needed anymore with the discovery of electronic tattoos. In a study in Science Magazine, scientists and engineers explained that they have come up with a new technology that could save millions of lives in the future. It is said to allow ultra-thin polymers embedded in electronic circuits to take electronic measurements of a person’s body activities. Ultra-thin polyester Like this:
Man Builds Fairy Tale Home for His Family – For Only £3,000 Simon Dale is a family man in Wales, the western part of Great Britain. His interest in self-sustainability and an ecological awareness led him to dig out and build his own home—one of the loveliest, warmest, most inviting dwellings you could ever imagine. And it cost him only £3,000, about $4,700 American dollars! Can you imagine a more charming entrance than this? Simon gives two reasons for building the home. It’s fun. His second reason is a plea for sustainability, in which he states that “our supplies are dwindling and our planet is in ecological catastrophe”. Simon is also a photographer, and as you can see throughout this article, a talented one. The tools are fairly simple. The home is constructed from wood, stone, straw, and has a sod roof. Most amazingly, the home didn’t require years of training or experience. He was fortunate in obtaining the land for his home. This building is one part of a low-impact or permaculture approach to life.

Sugar Crusted Chocolate Chip Muffins: - StumbleUpon After the holidays I have the hardest time falling back into the rhythm of my normal life. As I sit here looking around and the gift boxes, empty toy boxes and those dang twist-tie things ; and don’t even get me started on the holiday decorations that eventually need to be packed away, I’m feeling extremely disorganized and overwhelmed with it all. I have to work the next couple of days and New Year’s weekend at the hospital and I’m wondering when I’ll get to it all. In the same breath, didn’t I just put all this stuff up? I can tell ya with certainty that I’d rather curl up with these muffins, a cup of coffee and watch endless hours of The Cooking Channel than tackle the after math of Christmas. So with that said… who wants to come over and re-organize my life, or maybe just the cupboards? It all begins with a few basic pantry ingredients. Combine all of the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and add the mini chips. Stir to combine. Drizzle in the grapeseed oil. Add in the milk. 1 egg
