After cutting out 10 hours of cat cajoling, we have a short and neat episode about unexplained spheres, ghostly lights in the sky and other random oddities! Some subjects just can't be shoved into one category, or explained easily away. Unless you say its always aliens, which to be fair it probably is. Kelsey covers one of the lesser known phantom lights phenomenon of the USA, the Gurdon light. Why do these hovering lights seem to show up in places all over the country? Where's Canada's mystery lights? Basically what the hell is going on? We theorize what's causing the lights and why they are probably not headlights! Then Alanna takes us to the swingin' seventies and the mystery of the Betz sphere. Go figure that a Floridaman should be the one to find a mysterious smooth metal orb in their yard, no explanation. More strange still, was what it started doing once they took it into the house.... Which all prompts a look at some stone spheres around the world, and what they might have in common with their mysterious metal cousin. Darkcast Promo of the Week: California True Crime

Diese erste vollständige Biografie Oskar Frieds ist die Geschichte eines Getriebenen, vom Zirkusclown zum internationalen Dirigenten, vom politischen Komponisten zum Geheimagenten. Am Beispiel dieses engen Mahler-Freundes, der 1923 die erste Aufnahme seiner 2. Sinfonie leitete, zeigen sich die Mechanismen der künstlerischen Netzwerke seiner Zeit. Die Beschäftigung mit Fried wirft ein Schlaglicht auf das Innenleben des europäischen Kulturschmelztiegels – vom Kaiserreich bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg, von der blühenden Kultur der Weimarer Republik bis in die Dunkelheit des Nationalsozialismus und der jungen Sowjetunion.

Travel about 85 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas along Interstate 30 and you come to the town of Gurdon. In a remote area, several miles outside Gurdon sit railroad tracks for the Missouri Pacific Railroad.  It is along a four-mile stretch of track that sightings of a floating, glowing orb have been reported for the last ninety years, now known as the Gurdon Light. While there are of course scientific theories that attempt to explain the origin of the Gurdon Light, many instead believe the phenomenon is linked to a single event in history, the murder of a railroad foreman in 1931. Perhaps not everything seen along the railroad tracks is scientifically explainable, and if not, how long has the area been that way? Is the light something that only dates to the 1930s, or is it something that has been there much longer? Perhaps the Gurdon Light has always been there, it just took people to give it a name… Additional Links from this Episode: Purchase the Feminine Macabre, Vol. 3.

A mere 30% of Americans think their country is heading in the right direction. President Joe Biden, elected on the promise of being a uniter with better solutions for the COVID-19 pandemic, has resorted to divisive rhetoric and a socialist agenda.It's no wonder many Americans are pessimistic about America's future. Yet, there is reason to be hopeful, says Hugo Gurdon, editor-in-chief of the Washington Examiner. Restoring America, a new Examiner initiative is celebrating what's great about America while at the same time confronting the left's assault on our values."We think that we are at an extremely important point in the country where, as I say, the left is now triumphant and they're pushing successfully against all of the traditional values that have made this country great. We need to push back and we need to encourage people to realize that they can win this fight," Gurdon says. "We need to realize, and people need to realize, that they can steer their country where they wish it to go. Most people do not wish it to go where the extreme left is currently pushing it."Gurdon joins "The Daily Signal" to discuss Restoring America, how it contrasts with The New York Times' 1619 Project, and why he remains encouraged about our country's future.

"When children see still pictures and listen to stories, the brain's architecture is being strengthened and that helps set children up for success." – Meghan Cox Gurdon In part two of this dynamic discussion, Dr. Bob and Meghan continue to talk about the importance of children being read to at an early age, why we need to limit screen time and so much more. You absolutely will not want to miss this conversation! Meghan Cox Gurdon is an internationally-known children's book critic and the author of The Enchanted Hour: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction. Her influential weekly column in the Wall Street Journal, which began running in 2005, reaches more than 2 million readers every week. A mother of five, Gurdon is a sophisticated, eloquent and joyful advocate for reading aloud and the social, emotional, cultural, and literary pleasures and benefits that it offers. (Well, that's one way of putting it. Another is: She's a zealot. Meghan Gurdon has been reading aloud every evening since the first of her five children arrived 24 years ago and she not only refuses to stop, but she also hopes to persuade you to do the same!) In the lively, authoritative pages of the Enchanted Hour, she draws on the latest brain science and behavioral research, as well as from literature and personal anecdote, to explore the multifaceted power of a practice that has origins in antiquity and amazing relevance for today's tech-addled families. Amid the depleting distractions of screens and devices, she writes: “A miraculous alchemy takes place when one person reads to another, one that converts the ordinary stuff of life — a book, a voice, a place to sit, and a bit of time — into astonishing fuel for the heart, the mind, and the imagination.” Gurdon graduated Magna cum Laude from Bowdoin College in 1986, and after a stint in as a television producer in New York, moved overseas to marry the English journalist, Hugo Gurdon, and begin work as a freelance foreign correspondent. Based first in Hong Kong, and later in Tokyo, London, Washington, and Toronto, Gurdon reported from dozens of international hot-spots (and cooler ones), including Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Somalia, Singapore, France, Germany and Israel. Her print and radio work has run in numerous outlets, such as the Christian Science Monitor, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, National Review, Monitor Radio, and the public radio show, “Marketplace.” After 9/11, having had four children in three different countries, Gurdon and her husband decided to relocate one last time, to Washington DC, where they welcomed their fifth child a few short weeks after she began writing her column for the Wall Street Journal.

Geçen defa değişik kök hücresi türlerinden, embriyonun kök hücrelerinin vücudunuzdaki tüm hücreleri nasıl oluşturduğundan ve 2012 yılı Nobel Ödülü'nün bu alanda araştırma yapan iki bilim adamına verildiğinden bahsetmiştim. 1960’lardan önce zannediyorduk ki, bir kök hücresi mesela bir deri hücresine bir kere dönüştü mü artık hep deri hücresi olarak kalır. Erişkin bir hücreyi pluripotent bir kök hücresine dönüştürmenin bir yöntemini bulsak, araştırmalar için embriyo bulmaya gerek kalmayacaktı. Şinya Yamanaka (Fotoğraf: Jun Sella / Flickr) John B. Gurdon, daha öğrenciyken, bunu yaptı. Döllenmiş bir kurbağa yumurta hücresinden çekirdiğini camdan bir pipet ile çıkardı. Daha sonra bir iribaşın bağırsaklarından birkaç hücre aldı, yine camdan bir pipet ile çekirdeğini çıkartıp bunu önceden boşalttığı yumurta hücresine aktardı. O çekirdek gelişkin bir iribaşınki olmakla birlikte, nasıl olduysa hücrenin saati başa sardı ve bağısaktan gelen DNA, normal bir iribaşın gelişme ve büyümesini sağladı. (Bu arada buna “klonlama” deniyor.) Gurdon, elindeki artık özelleşmiş olan erişkin bağırsak hücresini, bir şekilde bir iribaşın ihtiyaç duyacağı her tür hücreye geri dönüştürmüştü. Doktorasını 1960’ta aldıysa da araştırmasını ancak 1962’de, bağısaktaki DNA’nın normal kurbağaların oluşmasına yol açtığından emin olduktan sonra yayınladı. Dolly adlı koyunu duymuşsunuzdur, 1996 doğumlu, ilk klonlanan hayvan. Burada da bilim insanları benzeri bir iş yaptılar, özelleşmiş bir hücrenin DNA’sını, döllendikten sonra DNA’sı atılmış bir embriyoya aktardılar. Bu sefer bağırsak hücrelerini değil, meme bezi hücrelerini kullandılar - Koyunun adı da buradan geliyordu, Country şarkıcısı Dolly Parton’ın adından. Bu teknik kurbağalar ve amfibiler için zaten zorken memeli hayvanlar için daha da zorluydu: Bu yüzden Dolly’nin doğması 35 yıl aldı - Unutmadan, Dolly, 277 deneme içindeki tek başarıydı. 2012 Nobel Tıp veya Fizyoloji Ödülü'nü kazanan diğer bilim insanı ise Dr. Şinya Yamanaka. Yamanaka, erişkin hücreleri pluripotent kök hücrelerine dönüşecek şekilde programlamayı başardı. Ama bunun için camdan pipet değil, genler kullandı. Öyle genler var ki, embriyonik kök hücrelerinin diğer hücrelere dönüşmesini önlüyor. Bu genleri önce ehlileştirilmiş virüslere yerleştirip sonra o virüsleri yaşayan hücrelere musallat ederek canlı hücrelere aktarabiliyoruz. Dr Yamanaka 2006’da farklılaşmış deri hücrelerine bu genlerden 24 tanesini bulaştırdı, ve bir baktı ki bu farklılaşmış deri hücreleri artık aynı embriyonik kök hücrelerine benziyor. Ama Dr. Yamanaka bu genlerin pluripotent kök hücrelerini meydana getiren özgül dörtlü bileşenini bulana kadar çok çalıştı. Bu genlerin, memelilerin döllenmiş yumurtalarının zamanında henüz özelleşmeden, farklılaşmamış olarak kalmak için kullandıkları genler olduğu neredeyse muhakkak. Canlı hücrelere virüs bulaştırmanın bazı muhtemel sakıncaları var, o yüzden şimdilerde DNA’yı değiştirmeden bunu becerecek yöntemler üzerinde çalışılıyor. Bu pluripotent kök hücreleri, düzinelerce değişik türünün bir hücre bankasında saklanmasıyla yüzlerce değişik hastalığın tedavisinde kullanılabilir. Her seferinde kişiye özel hücreleri sıfırdan hazırlamaktansa, kullanıma hazır hücreleri depoda hazır bulundurmak hem para hem de zaman tasarrufu sağlayacak. Japonların kalıtım bilgisi birbirine çok benzediğinden, 75 tür hücrenin toplumun yüzde 80’inin tedavisine yeteceği tahmin ediliyor. Bunun için Yamanaka’nın hedefi 2020 yılı. O vakte kadar, bu hücreleri laboratuvarda tabaklara koyup gözleyeceğiz. Böylece artık sinir, kalp ve karaciğer hücrelerini etkileyen hastalıkların nasıl meydana geldiğini anlamaya başlayabileceğiz.

-NOBEL: ASSEGNATO IL PREMIO PER LA MEDICINA 2012 Sono il britannico John B. Gurdon e il giapponese Shinya Yamanaka i vincitori del Premio Nobel 2012 per la Fisiologia e la Medicina, appena annunciati a Stoccolma. Sono stati premiati per la scoperta delle cellule che possono essere riprogrammate diventando pluripotenti. In pratica sono riusciti a mandare indietro nel tempo l'orologio della vita, trasformando delle cellule adulte in embrionali e regalando loro uno stato di simil-staminali. Una scoperta definita dagli altri scienziati 'rivoluzionaria, e destinata a cambiare totalmente l'approccio alle malattie croniche'. -ARRIVA PRIMA APP SU FARMACOVIGILANZA PER MEDICI FAMIGLIA = Arriva la prima applicazione per iPhone e iPad dedicata alla farmacovigilanza. La nuova App, pensata per i medici di famiglia che la possono scaricare gratuitamente, e' frutto della collaborazione tra Fimmg e Aifa, e ha l'obiettivo di fornire un supporto semplice, efficiente e soprattutto digitale per generare e inviare i moduli relativi alle segnalazioni delle reazioni avverse ai farmaci e per consultare la lista di trasparenza e rimborsabilita' dei farmaci. -DENTISTI ANDI, IN CALO TURISMO ODONTIATRICO, RISCHI SUPERANO VANTAGGI Sta scemando l'interesse degli italiani per le cure dentistiche all'estero, che anzi cominciano a essere viste con diffidenza. Secondo un sondaggio condotto dall'istituto di ricerca Ispo per conto dell'Associazione dentisti italiani (Andi), solo il 4% dei connazionali e' andato dal dentista oltreconfine e tra questi la meta' di loro non lo rifarebbe, mentre l'81% non e' disposto a farlo e solo il 15%, pur non avendolo mai fatto, lo prenderebbe in considerazione. -UNA DONNA OGNI 2 MINUTI MUORE DI PARTO NEL MONDO, AL VIA CONGRESSO FIGO Ogni due minuti nel mondo una donna perde la vita per complicanze durante la gravidanza o il parto. A evidenziare il dato Flavia Bustreo, Assistant Director-General Family, Women and Children's Health dell'Organizzazione mondiale della sanita', in occasione dellafiim presentazione del XX Congresso della International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Figo), a Roma fino al 12 ottobre.
