Biosensor can detect breast cancer in saliva – UPI.com

A new hand-held biosensor can detect breast cancer biomarkers from a tiny sample of saliva, researchers report Tuesday in the Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology B.

“Our device is an excellent choice because it is portable — about the size of your hand — and reusable,” said lead researcher Hsaio-Hsuan Wan, a doctoral student at the University of Florida. “The testing time is under five seconds per sample, which makes it highly efficient.”

The New Humanitarian | UK parliament says Rwanda asylum bill violates human rights

A UK parliamentary report published on 12 February has found that the Rwanda Bill, which designates Rwanda as a safe place for the processing of asylum seekers, violates both British human rights obligations and international law. We recently reported on how asylum seekers already sent to Rwanda by Britain – for medical treatment – had reported sexual abuse and harassment. Read about it here

João Cabral de Melo Neto – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Os manequins cobrem- se de pós.

Um último esforço de concentração

morre no meu peito de homem enforcado.

Tenho no meu quarto manequins concundas

onde me reproduzo

e me contemplo em silêncio.

 

(João Cabral de Melo Neto. Poesia completas. 3. ed. Rio de Janeiro: José Lympio, 1979. p. 376)

John Sweeney: When Tucker Carlson Met Putin | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Sweeney the journalist notes the glorious moment when Putin upends the conventions and attacks the supplicant for a previous job application. Putin, puffy cheeked on steroids as ever, is waxing long about the 2014 Maidan revolution when the unarmed Ukrainian opposition took to the streets to bring down Kremlin puppet President Viktor Yanukovych:
Putin: “The armed opposition committed a coup in Kiev. What is that supposed to mean? Who do you think you are? I wanted to ask the then US leadership.

Tucker: With the backing of whom?

Vladimir Putin: With the backing of CIA, of course, the organization you wanted to join back in the day, as I understand. We should thank God, they didn’t let you in.

Carlson looks so mortified that I wondered whether his carefully coiffed hairdo might levitate in horror, as well it might. Who would have known that this career anti-elite hobgoblin had once tried to join the Company? Well, the former head of the Russian intelligence service, for one.

I feel I am entitled to be critical of Tucker Carlson because, firstly, he is a traitor to the human soul, and, secondly, I have interviewed Putin myself. Back in 2014, after the shooting down of MH17 by a Russian BUK missile, my colleagues at BBC Panorama and I worked out that the little man in the Kremlin was going to open some museum of mammothology in Yakutsk in the far east of Siberia. I rocked up, popped my question, Putin was caught in the bright lights of the Kremlin’s patsy media cameras – they thought my popping up had official permission – and Peskov, his PR man, was embarrassed. A few hours a goon came and punched me in the stomach. The Kremlin didn’t like my question. Still, I got off lightly…

Bolsonaro e sua trupe quase levaram o Brasil à ruptura constitucional? – blog do pflkwy

O quanto realmente a nação brasileira esteve perto de uma ruptura constitucional com um golpe de Estado, sob o comando do Bolsonaro na presidência da República e sua trupe faminta por sague e poder. Escalaram degraus autoritários e sequestraram uma grande parte da sociedade, aos seus vieses golpistas, fazendo-os cidadãos/cidadãs a se curvaram a seita bolsonaristas que tinha um aparente viés liberal, mais que na realidade fazia questão em suas aparições principalmente aos seus fanáticos seguidores, que trabalhava pelo bem da nação e, dizia que não havia satisfação melhor do que bem servir àqueles que o apoiava irrestritamente, fazia questão de reafirmar ‘Deus, pátria, família, liberdade’, segundo seu cânone, seu delírio, lhes permitiria agir fora dos limites constitucionais estabelecido pela Constituição Cidadã de 1988.
