Miracle man walks again

Miracle man walks again

When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a medical miracle that he lived.

He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shulin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again.

Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso – but the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall.

They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.

Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device.

Research Beyond Google: 119 Authoritative, Invisible, and Comprehensive Resources

Google, the largest search database on the planet, currently has around eight billion web pages indexed. That's a lot of information. But it's nothing compared to what else is out there. Google can only index the visible web, or searchable web. But the invisible web, or deep web, is estimated to be 500 times bigger than the searchable web. The invisible web comprises databases and results of specialty search engines that the popular search engines simply are not able to index.

Do you think your local or university librarian uses Google? Sure, but certainly not exclusively. In order to start researching like a librarian, you'll need to explore more authoritative resources, many of which are invisible. Note: Although some of the following resources are visible and indexed, they have all been included here because of their authoritative nature.

INDIA WINS WORLD TWENTY20 THRILLER

India had also achieved a rare title victory on the World limited overs stage. It was in the summer of 1983 at the Lord’s that Kapil Dev’s men stunned the West Indies to win the World Cup. In 1985, Sunil Gavaskar led India to victory in the World Cricket Championship in Australia, featuring all the major nations. In 2002, India and Sri Lanka were adjudged joint winners in the ICC Champions Trophy in Colombo after rain prevented a verdict. Now, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men have registered a sensational triumph in South Africa.

The Meaning Of Life

clipper's remarks: its so very complicated...

Clip Source: www.seedmagazine.com

It's hard to think of a word more charged with meaning—or meanings—than "life." Some of the most passionate debates of our day, over stem cells or the right to die, genetically modified food, or wartime conduct, revolve around it. Whether we're talking about when life begins or when it ends, the sanctity of life, or the danger of playing God, we all have an idea of what we mean when we talk about life. Yet, it often turns out, we actually mean different things. Scientists, despite their intimacy with the subject, aren't exempt from this confusion.

Seeing the unseeable

The limits of our senses confront the limitlessness of the universe.

Within the confines of the ordinary, vision is the most reliable tool we have. But some of the most extraordinary parts of nature, those that lie at the frontiers of science, can't be seen at all. Dark matter, for example, the invisible, mysterious material that makes up 22 percent of the stuff in the universe, is one of the great scientific unknowns, a substance nearly six times as abundant as ordinary matter but made up of fundamental particles we haven't yet identified.

THE FIRST PUBLICATION OF A DIPLOID HUMAN GENOME FROM ONE PERSON

"Today, researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute, along with collaborators from Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the University of California, San Diego, and the Universidad de Barcelona in Spain have published the first diploid genome of an individual—Dr. Venter, in PLoS Biology. This analysis and assembly of the 20 billion base pairs of Dr. Venter’s DNA is the first look at both sets of his chromosomes (one inherited from each of his parents) and has shown a greater degree and more kinds of genetic variation with human to human variation five to seven times greater than in previous genome analysis.

A Fish That's Almost Human?

A Fish That's Almost Human?

A tiny fish the size of a minnow is helping scientists unravel some of the most complex secrets of life and it could have a profound impact on the effort to treat various human diseases and understand how we became what we are. That's because the zebra fish is so closely related to humans that we might as well call it cousin.
