Woman receives ear implant made with her own cells – Mágica Mistura を

Live cells continue to produce cartilage during a person’s life; in addition, the implant is less likely to be rejected by the body, as it is made of the cells themselves.

It is an important step towards the creation of artificial tissues and implants. “We believe that clinical tests can give us not only evidence of the value of this innovative product and the positive impact on microtia patients, but it also demonstrates the potential of this technology in providing live tissue implants in other areas in the future,” says Daniel Cohen, co-founder of 3DBio Therapeutics.

Carl Paladino Calls Hitler ‘the Kind of Leader We Need,’ Drawing Backlash – The New York Times – GOP Congressional candidate in New York

Carl P. Paladino, a Republican running for a House seat in Western New York, praised Adolf Hitler last year for inspiring his followers, describing the fascist dictator as “the kind of leader we need today.”

Mr. Paladino did not specifically condone Hitler’s actions in his remarks, which he made in a 2021 radio interview that was unearthed on Thursday. But he said he was impressed by how the German leader and head of the Nazi Party “aroused the crowd” in his speeches and suggested that Republicans in New York and Washington ought to emulate his approach.

“He would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just, they were hypnotized by him,” he said in the interview, resurfaced by the left-leaning watchdog group Media Matters. “I guess, I guess that’s the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational. We need somebody that is a doer.”

“Our Republicans are sound asleep,” he added, referring to party officials as captive to “RINOism,” a derogatory acronym meaning Republicans in name only.

The remarks, for which he apologized on Thursday, were striking even by the incendiary standards of Mr. Paladino, who has previously said that children should not be “brainwashed” into thinking that being gay was acceptable and suggested that Michelle Obama, the former first lady, should be “let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe.”

What’s poetry mean to you? You can find definitions, but to be honest, I’m the “I know it when I see it, and only then I think maybe I know it,” sort. Could that be part of why my novels are taking so long (tell me about it)?

For some, the poetry has to rhyme…

Dreams

De malinha pronta

Reprise

Take me to the theory land
Because in theory
Everything will to be all right

Don’t wake me up
Not today nor tomorrow
Let me live in the fairytale for a while

I’m not ready for your world yet
I need more time to heal my soul
Wish me good luck

You know where to find me
Between one thing and another
I’ll be living my dreams.

Economic Headwinds or Politics? (Update)

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

There are more signs that the US is heading into a recession:

  • Layoffs in digital advertising. Despite job growth overall, the number of jobs in online advertising has actually shrunk this year in absolute numbers.

Advertising and public relations lost 2,400 jobs in May despite an overall increase in US employment, per the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, a sign that the industry is beginning to wade through a period of uncertainty that will define the rest of 2022.(1)

  • Social media platforms are showing remarkable declines in advertising revenue. Facebook had the worst quarter in Q1 since going public a decade ago.(2) That has led to a company-wide hiring freeze for the remainder of 2022.
  • New business formation has been declining since mid 2021.(3) The current bright spot and exception is California, which is leading the nation in new business formation.

  • College enrollment is declining, which is going to particularly…

♫ Let It Be ♫ (Redux)

Filosofa's Word

Yesterday when I played Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel, two readers mentioned this song in comments as being similarly comforting in trying times such as we are going through today.  I have played it only once before, in 2019, so I figured it’s time for a redux!


At the time of its release in 1970, this Beatles tune had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning its chart run at #6. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney and was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band.

McCartney said he had the idea of Let It Be after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles aka the White Album in 1968. According to McCartney, the song’s reference to “Mother Mary” was not biblical. McCartney explained that his mother – who…
