Pingie: HTTP:: White Blood Cells Made from Stem Cells

HTTP:: White Blood Cells Made from Stem Cells
--------
In a groundbreaking new work, scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison managed to create several types of white blood cells from cultures of embryonic and adult stem cells. The experts first had to convert them into progenitors of white and immune cells, but the astounding success they had with their work could soon allow for embryonic stem cells to be used in hospitals as a very powerful, multipurpose medical tool. The cells that were obtained in the new research could potentially be used as models for analyzing the effects that certain diseases and pathogens have on them. The HIV virus, for example, acts by crippling the immune system, so studying it may be a lot easier if white blood cells become readily available. According to the team, they managed to obtain the immune system cells from both embryonic stem cells, and from reprogrammed adult stem cells, which were beforehand converted to their original, undifferentiated state. Igor Slukvin, the leader of the !
new study, and an assistant professor at the UWM Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, believes that, though the technology is still years away from mass practical applications, it could still be used right away for conducting assessments of new drugs. “Toxicity to the blood-forming system is a key limit on drug development, so...

Pingie: HTTP:: Hearts of Iron 3 Why Diplomacy and Intelligence Matter

HTTP:: Hearts of Iron 3 Why Diplomacy and Intelligence Matter
--------
Hearts of Iron 3 arrived at the end of last week and since then much of my day has been taken up by extended playtime and by anxiously checking the official forums of the game looking for opinions, improvement ideas, reactions and, of course, the inevitable bug reports. And they all came fast and furious, with some people loving the new grand strategy title while others hated the new mechanics and the fact that the game eats up a lot of system resource.Two of the new in-game mechanics that have quite a lot of impact in Hearts of Iron 3 are diplomacy and intelligence. They were both present in Heart of Iron 2 but their impact was pretty much limited. One could actually play the entire release while not bothering with spies at all and diplomacy was mostly relegated to making sure that you got the allies historically joining the Axis, the Allies and the Comintern.But Hearts of Iron 3 is a much less deterministic videogame. And diplomacy and intelligence are not built on using !
leadership to train spies and send out diplomats, a resource which is also used to power the research efforts of your nation. My tendency as a player is to put resources into research massively and in my first two games, one as Germany and the other as the United States, I pretty much ignored intelligence and diplomatic efforts...

HTTP:: New Races Seemingly Confirmed for World of Warcraft Cataclysm Expansion
--------
World of Warcraft is the biggest online game out there, boasting over 11,5 million paying subscribers monthly, who can't wait to find out new information about their beloved title and what Blizzard, the company behind it, has planned for its future. As you all know, a few months ago, the company trademarked the world 'cataclysm', which it tied to various things such as digital distribution or merchandising, but it seems that a lot of people are starting to confirm that it will be most likely the title of the new expansion brought to World of Warcraft, which will follow up the hugely successful Wrath of the Lich King. Also, according to some very reliable sources for WoW.com, this new expansion will most definitely bring two new playable races, one for each of the factions featured in the game, the Alliance and the Horde. These new races have already been highly speculated, as a dedicated player found four Halloween masks in the texture files for the recent 3.2 patch that !
the game received. These new races, the Worgen and the Goblins, will be a major part of the Cataclysm expansion, according to the sources, which declined to reveal more. While the wolf-like Worgens will be joining forces with the Alliance, the Horde will be welcoming the Goblins with open arms, acco...

Pingie: HTTP:: Pole Dance Fitness to Be Included in the Olympic Games

HTTP:: Pole Dance Fitness to Be Included in the Olympic Games
--------
A new form of fitness is currently being considered for inclusion among the sports at the Olympic Games. While the routine itself dates from many years ago and comes with connotations that would make some blush to the roots of the hairs, the founder of the Pole Fitness Association, Collette Kakuk, is telling Marie Claire it’s time to cast prejudices aside and welcome the new form of fitness at the Games. Speaking with the women’s magazine in a new interview, Kakuk stresses that the time when the routine was limited to a certain type of joints and clubs has long gone, since more and more women â€" and even men â€" acknowledge the health benefits the sport entails. In all fairness, experts and trainers do admit that pole dancing is one of the most efficient and fun ways of staying in shape since it engages all muscle groups while also defining them better than other routines. “If you look at rhythmic gymnastics and figure skating, so many of the movements are simila!
r to what we do on the pole. We have to shatter the taboo. The pole is just another fitness apparatus, like a vertical balance beam.” Kakuk tells Marie Claire about the purpose behind the petition to include it in the Games. Should this be granted, athletes would appear barefoot and in fitness gear (lik...

Pingie: HTTP:: Women Buy Swimsuits They re Too Embarrassed to Wear

HTTP:: Women Buy Swimsuits They re Too Embarrassed to Wear
--------
Buying a swimsuit is a big deal, as any woman out there must have already found out by now, because it has to be the right model, in the colors that are hot that season and cut in such a way as to make the best even of a more “flawed” (if you will) body. With all this, and despite the many hours spent searching for the ideal swimsuit for one summer, most women end up not wearing theirs, as a new poll cited by the Daily Mail reveals. The survey, carried by Tesco among average British women, revealed that, no matter how much money they spend on their swimwear, they still can’t face the moment when they actually have to hit the pool and thus expose themselves to the eyes of so many people. Women’s lack of self-confidence and a negative body-image are actually helping the fashion industry make millions a year on swimsuits that are not worn even once, the same poll reveals. “According to new research, this indecision is costing UK women billions as a staggering 45 !
per cent of swimwear bought each summer is never worn. An estimated quarter of a billion pounds is spent on swimwear women decide they are too out of shape to put on in public.” the Mail writes of the findings of the survey. Even more worrying, one in 10 women (amounting to an estimated 11 percent) are so ...
