Nanoscribe Will Sell a Micro 3-D Printer That Creates Tiny Structures in Seconds Nanoscribe, a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, has developed a tabletop 3-D microprinter that can create complicated microstructures 100 times faster than is possible today. “If something took one hour to make, it now takes less than one minute,” says Michael Thiel, chief scientific officer at Nanoscribe. While 3-D printing of toys, iPhone covers, and jewelry continues to grab headlines (see “The Difference Between Makers and Manufacturers”), much of 3-D printing’s impact could be at a much smaller scale. Thiel says it should be possible to speed up his company’s microprinting technique even more in the future. Printing microstructures with features a few hundred nanometers in size could be useful for making heart stents, microneedles for painless shots, gecko adhesives, parts for microfluidics chips, and scaffolds for growing cells and tissue. So far, 3-D microprinting has been used only in research laboratories because it’s pretty slow.
Sólo 3 de cada 10 colombianos reconocen tristeza En uno de los “países más felices del mundo”, el 20 % de sus habitantes dicen que “la vida les ha dado tantos golpes que ya nada les duele” y la mayoría es incapaz de reconocer emociones básicas en el rostro de su vecino. Entre los cientos de datos que arrojó la Encuesta Nacional de Salud Mental 2015 hay uno que sorprendió al psiquiatra y epidemiólogo Carlos Gómez-Restrepo. Cuando les presentaron a los 15.351 entrevistados tarjetas con imágenes de rostros que expresaban felicidad, tristeza, sorpresa o asco, la mayoría falló en la respuesta. Para el director de la encuesta y profesor de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, este es un síntoma social preocupante. ¿Por qué es importante esta encuesta sobre salud mental? Intentamos dar una respuesta mayor a lo que se había hecho hasta ahora en Colombia. ¿Qué enfermedades se estudiaron? Existen más de 100 enfermedades en psiquiatría y es imposible medirlas con una encuesta. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre este estudio y un censo?
The Printer That Can Print A 2,500 Square Foot House In 20 Hours. We have seen huge advancements in 3D printing. We’ve even seen oversized wrenches printed that measure 1.2 meters in length. Now, we can print an entire 2,500 sqft house in 20 hours. In manufacturing we use a process called CAD/CAM (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing). 3D models are designed on a computer and then manufactured using CNC Machines or 3D printers. In this video, we see a prototype of a machine called ‘Contour Crafting’ Michael Cooney Michael Cooney, the founder of EngNet, worked as a project engineer for many years sourcing equipment.
Los cuatro acuerdos de Miguel Ruiz La felicidad es una elección, como también lo es el sufrimiento. "No hay razón para sufrir. La única razón por la que sufres es porque así tú lo decides. Si observas tu vida encontrarás muchas excusas para sufrir, pero ninguna razón válida. La domesticación y el sueño del planeta. ¿Son las cosas como las vemos, como las sentimos, o básicamente interpretamos lo que nos han enseñado a interpretar? Para la milenaria cultura tolteca (México) la "realidad" que asumimos socialmente no es más que un sueño colectivo, el sueño del planeta. "La domesticación es tan poderosa que, en un determinado momento de nuestra vida ya no necesitamos que nadie nos domestique. El juez y la víctima. En el transcurso de este aprendizaje incorporamos en nuestra propia personalidad al juez y a la víctima. El juez representa esa tendencia en nuestra mente que nos recuerda continuamente el libro de la ley que gobierna nuestra vida -lo que está bien y lo que está mal-, nos premia y, más frecuentemente, nos castiga. 1.

Pam Eisenmann- Co-CuratorJoan Ulrich- Co-CuratorDale Marhanka-Ceramics Director Cups are probably one of the most unassuming, yet challenging forms to make. Potters seem to be quite particular about what they like about cups and why. I was so inspired to see such a diverse range of cup forms, surfaces, decoration and building processes. Each of us will have different visceral reactions to different pots based on our own personal histories.

INSENSIBLES AL DOLOR - Archivo Digital de Noticias de Colombia y el Mundo desde 1.990 - eltiempo.com Esta terrible sensación nace de reconocer la forma como muchos sectores del país han tomando la guerra que vivimos. Mientras el Delegado de Naciones Unidas se refiere a las masacres, que por desventura se han convertido en pan cotidiano, como comportamiento de animales y Jorge Castañeda, analista mexicano que comentó recientemente esta situación en Newsweek reconoce el drama colombiano como una crisis hemisférica, muchos compatriotas no lo ven ni lo sienten así. Sociedades fraccionadas por guerras fratricidas no lograron encontrar el verdadero camino de la paz, sin reconocer el drama que enfrentaron individuos y familias durante los conflictos. Las comisiones de perdón y olvido, integradas por personalidades, no podrán servir de base para la reconciliación cuando una guerra como la colombiana ha estratificado tan claramente sus víctimas. A quién realmente le quita el sueño en Colombia el millón doscientos mil desplazados? La indolencia se ha vuelto una forma de ser de nuestra sociedad.
Deep Watering Tomatoes for a Bumper Crop | Reclaim, Grow, Sustain As the plant that often seems to be the central highlight of the summer gardening season for most folks, everyone wants the biggest and shiniest tomatoes possible. So there are no shortage of tips and tricks out there to develop the size and sheen of tomatoes. But most of these tips and tricks only slightly improve the plant's production, many of them seeming to do nothing at all - mental bias and imagination can go a long way in supporting useless tricks. Well, here's one method that the people who try it have a hard time not noticing a difference in their plants. Now why would you want to water deeper in the first place? Not to forget, there's also the added benefits of being very water efficient as well as reducing blight because water won't be splashing all over the plant. Now here's how you do it. Dig a hole on either side of where you're going to have a tomato plant. Place a piece of perforated pipe about 16"-20" long in each hole.
