14-Year-Old Surgeon Wows Medical Professionals

Florida has developed a new stitching technique that could possibly transform surgical procedures around the world. Perhaps the most fascinating detail is the researcher is a 14-year-old high school freshman.

Tony Hansberry II has created a new way to sew up hysterectomy patients in efforts to reduce the risks of post surgical complications and simplify the delicate procedure for less experienced surgeons, reports Jacksonville News. So far, the young man has only performed the surgery on dummies but has managed to fascinate the medical community enough to peak the interests of seasoned surgeons. On April 24 Hansberry presented his findings in the University of Florida's medical auditorium packed with board-certified physicians, with established practices older than Hansberry, eager to see what medical phenomenon awaits.

"I just want to help people and be respected, knowing that I can save lives," Hansberry said. He insists his extraordinary achievements are simply stepping stones to his aspirations of becoming a University of Florida-trained neurosurgeon.

Hansberry, whose mother is a registered nurse, is student at Darnell-Cookman Middle/High School - a magnet school with a primary focus of medical studies. For example, students will have mastered suturing techniques by the eighth grade. Last summer the 14-year-old interned at the University of Florida's Center for Simulation Education and Safety Research, where he began his research.

At the simulation center, where medical residents and nurses practice on dummies, the bashful student took a liking to Bruce Nappi, the center's administrative director. Nappi recognized the student's enthusiasm to learn and encouraged him to explore his medical know-how.

Genes 'have key role in autism'

Scientists have produced the most compelling evidence to date that genetics play a key role in autism.

They highlighted tiny genetic changes that appear to have a strong impact on the likelihood of developing autism and related conditions.

The changes influence genes which help form and maintain connections between brain cells.

The Nature study highlighted one common genetic variant which, if corrected would cut cases of autism by 15%.

Previously, other genetic variants have been linked to autism, but they are all relatively rare.

Sim Card Spy Ear Remote Listening Device

Another day another covert gadget designed for spying on friends, family, co-workers and anyone else you just don’t trust. The Spy Ear though doesn’t require years of special spy training at MI6 to use. All you have to do is stick your SIM card into the device and call it from another phone. Once you’re connected you can just sit back and listen to what’s going on in the room where you’ve secretly planted it.

In theory since it relies on the GSM phone network the Spy Ear should work all over the world as long as the rechargeable batteries hold out and it’s in the range of a cell tower. Of course if you do plan to use the device internationally you might want to make sure you have a good roaming plan.

The Spy Ear is currently available from Brando.com.hk for $85.

Peru uses new "super tree" technology to fight air pollution.

A device invented by Peruvians known as the “Super Tree” has recently made its debut in Lima, a city plagued with extreme air pollution. The Super Tree acts like 1200 real trees, purifying the air for approximately 20,000 people a day, at the cost of only about $6.6.

votesBuzz up!The company Tierra Nuestra (Our Earth) is behind the Super Tree, and hopes to begin exporting the technology. The company’s goal is to promote conservation through the development of new technologies and renewable energy.

BENEFITS OF BUNKING CLASSES AND EVEN COLLEGE:

Colleges are the places where the students learn the art of bunking classes. It helps them in getting their mind away from the tough world of academics momentarily. Bunking classes changes their daily routine.
Colleges are the often the places where the students get to understand what typical campus life is, more so if you are a first year student. Colleges provide students a newfound freedom through bunking. Now the question rises, is bunking the classes good? Ask any college student the answer is an affirmative YES! They bunk classes to explore their ever happening city and its delightful destinations e.g. the sports complex, swimming pool, snack bar, or any place to hang around that’s what a student wants. In my view the students should be given the liberty to bunk classes whenever they want to.
Bunking classes not only enables them to enjoy their time but it also helps them to breath the fresh air of the city and it also develops their mind by learning new techniques of bunking and dodging the college vice principal or the disciplinary committee.
But now I also want to say that though bunking is an awesome art but it can also be very fatal for the students unless they work hard at homes or in the time when they are not bunking any class and maintain their performance otherwise bunking is surely not recommended. And I almost forgot, A WORD OF CAUTION, the students should ensure that at the end of the day they don’t repent over the days they bunked the class.

How do you feel confident about yourself?[Self-confidence].

Developing Self-Confidence
Here are some things to think about to help get you started. First, take inventory of your strengths. You already excel in some areas, and it's helpful to remind yourself of the things you do well. Next, come up with some specific areas you wish to improve on. Give yourself realistic goals based on these areas. If you'd like to feel more confident about speaking up in class or in meetings, for example, a reasonable goal might be "I will answer two questions or make two comments today." Spend some time beforehand preparing to meet your goal, and celebrate afterward! Last, don't fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other people. Remember your own unique strengths, and proceed at your own pace as you work to improve in other areas.

This is a story of a helpless woman. She was a housewife and like every other woman on earth she had a desire that her children go to school and gain the light of knowledge and become civilized.

She bought school uniforms for her children and daily she dressed them and showed everyone that she was taking her children to school. And like everyone else her children also went to school daily. But instead of going to school she took her children at her sister's place so that everyone would think that her children were at school. And when the school timings were over she used to take her children back home so that everyone would think that she is taking her children back home from school. But she was a respectful lady and she thought that her lie was not going to last for long. One day she has to tell everyone that she could not afford the expenses of the school for their children. So one day she decided to close the whole chapter. She took her children near the railway station and there she was standing in front of the train with her children in uniforms her cute little daughter and her two innocent sons carrying their school bags.

A Bad Hairdresser Day

"Hey everybody!" Hairdresser Lady called out. "It's The Happy Guy."
"Don't try buttering me up, Hairdresser Lady," I warned. "It's not going to work."
"What's not going to work?" she demanded.
"You can't cover up your gross incompetence with a 'Hey everybody' cheer."
"Gross incompetence?"
"That's right. Just look at my head. Go ahead, take a real close look."
"Why, it's a family of sparrows. What a lovely nest," she grinned.
"No, over here."
"My, my. If it isn't a bald spot," she giggled. "Should I give it a shine?"
"It looks like you could use Hair Loss No More ... or we'll have to wear sun glasses in your presence," she added.
"That's just what I mean, Hairdresser Lady. Ever since I've been coming to you this past couple years, I've been losing hair. What have you been doing to it?"
"Er, nothing. Just a little growth formula."
"Growth?!? My hair isn't growing. It's falling out."
Hairdresser Lady's Secret Trick
"The growth formula is not for your hair, silly. It's for your scalp," Hairdresser Lady responded.
"Growth formula for my scalp?"
"To make you look taller," Hairdresser Lady explained. "You do look kind of short, you know."
"How will growth formula on my scalp make me look taller?"
"Just look in the mirror. Already your head is starting to stick up out of your hair," Hairdresser Lady pointed out. "You look taller already."
She was right. I did look taller. "That stuff really works?"
"It works wonders on my petunias," Hairdresser Lady asserted.
Saaaaay, wait a minute. That's not a growing scalp. That's a receding hairline! "I don't believe it. You are NOT putting growth formula on my scalp. I am just losing my hair."
By this time, Hairdresser Lady was rolling on the floor with laughter. And I still had no idea what she was doing to make my hair fall out.
"I'll bet this is a secret trick to reduce your workload. The more hair falls out, the less you have to cut."
"Less hair to cut, but more face to wash," she chirped as she dunked my head under water. Deep under water. "Actually, you don't look too bad. Your hair is just getting thin here and there, and you have a lot more vacant real estate above your eyes. But most of your hair is clinging on...for now."
It was that last "for now" that sent shivers down my spine. Already I could see how much hair I had lost since she became my hairdresser. What diabolical anti-hair plot could she be preparing to unleash upon my head? I feared all my questions would soon be answered when she brought a new tray to the counter in front of me.
Could a hairdresser use tar and feathers?
"What's all that stuff? I demanded.
"These are your new hairdressing supplies: tar, a very large black brush, and a cheese grater," she smiled as she opened the tar lid.
"What's in that?" I was panicking.
"Don't worry," Hairdresser Lady whispered. "Nobody will know that it's not really...hair."
I lunged toward the exit. As the door swung closed behind me, I heard her call out, "Don't you even want to know what the cheese grater is for?"
Looking back, the whole situation seems ludicrous. My hair was not falling out because of Hairdresser Lady. It was falling out because of middle age. After all, they didn't have hairdressers in the Middle Ages.
Yesterday, my wife asked me when I last got my hair cut. I told her it had been a while. "Why do you ask?"
"Because," she puzzled. "Your hair seems to be growing quite long."
I think I shocked her when I began jumping up and down, shouting, "Yes. It works. Yes. Yes. Yes. No more hairdressers! No miracle petunias! No growing scalps!"
Still, every now and then, I wonder -- just what was the cheese grater for.
