UC Davis biomedical engineers and veterinarians collaborate to regrow bone - College of Engineering UC Davis Amphibians and starfish are known to regenerate their limbs; lizards can partially re-grow their tails. Thanks to the combined efforts of surgeon/professors at UC Davis’ William R. Pritchard Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, and biomedical engineers at the campus’ Translating Engineering Advances to Medicine (TEAM) facility, one of nature’s wonders has become a breakthrough medical miracle equally adaptable to mammals. On May 15, Sacramento’s CBS13 aired a poignant news feature devoted to how the lives of canine patients are being improved by these collaborative UC Davis researchers.
The American Accent Workshop Blog By Marisol on Friday, June 7th, 2013 | No Comments There are many words in the English language that sound very similar to each other with very slight differences. There are also some words which are pronounced exactly the same way and wherein even native speakers can only tell the difference due to the context in which the words are used such as “scene” and “seen,” for example. Naturally, words that are pronounced the same way aren’t really much of a problem for people with English as a second language since if you know how to pronounce one word, then you also know how to pronounce the other one – quite logically.

Famous Spy Masters through the ages Walsingham as seen by the actor Geoffrey Rush / quacked.com In the first of this three-part series about British and international secret services and their chiefs, three British spy-masters were described fairly extensively – those three who controlled British Intelligence from its creation as ‘SIS’, though its period as ‘MI6’, until the secret services were ‘outed’ and no longer secret in the second half of the twentieth century. Our previous two articles made it clear that secret services (usually founded by a monarch, though not always) are by no means an imaginary cloak-and-dagger operation invented by eminent authors like John le Carré, Frederick Forsyth, Len Deighton and Ian Fleming. Alexander the Great entrusted much of the intelligence side of his staggering conquests to his most trusted general Ptolomy, aided by Alexander’s companion Hephaistion. Morton, John (1420 – 1500) Morton took his training as an academic lawyer, after winning holy orders.

So TV debates will be a ratings disaster. Broadcasters will have to live with that Everyone except the Northern Irish, it seems, will be welcome at two out of three TV election debates. David Cameron, having insisted on Green inclusion, will be part of the crowd. The broadcasters, toiling away, have reconfigured – and, in doing so, demolished the whole 2010 three-handed structure. It’s gone. Turns at the lectern now depend on the possibility of a party leader holding part-power after an election. They are there to tell viewers what they believe in, what a coalition including them might do. New Technology Means Better Treatment Urinary stone disease is quite common in animal patients, and traditionally, invasive surgery has been the recommended treatment for removing the stones. Now, patients at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center (VMC) will have another treatment option: a recently acquired a laser lithotripsy device to treat urinary stones, which is currently being used in female dogs and cats. With lithotripsy, a laser fiber is passed through a cystoscope; then, with a push of a button, energy is transmitted that will disintegrate or fragment the stone. The fragments can then be removed or left to pass through the urinary system on their own.
Why we must thank the Turks, not Drake, for defeating the Armada For four centuries, Sir Francis Drake has symbolised English nonchalance and cunning in the face of danger. First, according to the legend drummed into every pupil, he insisted on finishing his game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe as the Spanish Armada approached in July 1588. Then he despatched the enemy ships with little more than a few burning rowing boats and a favourable breeze. But yesterday, it was claimed that Elizabeth's protestant throne was saved by a less celebrated ally: the Turkish navy. Jerry Brotton, a lecturer at Royal Holloway College, London, told the Guardian Hay literary festival that a hitherto unnoticed letter from Elizabeth's security chief and spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, to her ambassador in Istanbul showed that it was Turkish naval manoeuvres rather than Drake's swashbuckling which delivered the fatal blow to the Spanish invasion plans.
