Tel Aviv Scientists Invent Bionic Heart Patch
by Shifra on March 16, 2016This is great news. But for anyone pushing the BDS (Boycott Divest Sanction Israel) Movement: No heart for you! Via Times of Israel: Tel Aviv University unveiled a remote-controlled, bionic heart patch, which researchers say could become a revolutionary alternative to heart transplants for patients whose hearts have been damaged by heart attacks or cardiac disease. The patch expands and contracts like a human heart, but regulates itself like a machine and can be paced and programmed to release drugs from afar. “It’s very science fiction, but it’s already here, and we expect it to move cardiac research forward in a big way,” said Prof. Tal Dvir, who pioneered the invention…. Until now, we could only engineer organic cardiac tissue,...

California Whale-Watchers Surprised By ‘Stampede’ Of Dolphins
by Shifra on March 13, 2016Beautiful! Via UPI: Whale watchers got a rare look at hundreds of dolphins during a dolphin “stampede” off the coast of Southern California. Whale watchers looking to catch a few glimpses of the animals were in for a surprise when the dolphins began racing and jumping through the water — an act called porpoising — without known reason. A video recorded by Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari shows the pod of marine mammals speeding just off the edge of the tourism company’s vessel….

Video: Bird Knocked Out After Flying Into Window, Revived By Its Friend
by Shifra on February 28, 2016We should all have friends as devoted as this bird is to its BFF. Via Daily Mail: This is the heart-warming moment a stubborn bird saved his friend’s life by trying to revive it after it hit a window. The scene, filmed in Saudi Arabia, was posted on LiveLeak by a baffled eyewitness. It shows a nervous robin slapping its wings as he tries to give its pal – who lies unconscious on its back – the ‘kiss of life’ to revive it. It is believed the other robin was knocked out by flying into a glass window…. ****************************************************

Tel Aviv U. Team Find Markers To Develop Blood Test Measuring How We Deal With Stress
by Shifra on February 25, 2016When Barack Hussein is finally out of the WH, I think our stress levels will all dramatically improve… Via Times of Israel: Adult life can be stressful, and many of us are not sure what to do about it. Well-meaning advice from friends and acquaintances like “just relax!” doesn’t necessarily help because the more we try to relax, the more stressed we get when we don’t succeed. Taking a seaside vacation is not always an option. Yet the stakes are high: Chronic stress raises our risk of infection, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, arthritis and pain. A recent study by researchers at Tel Aviv University has confirmed that for many of us, stress is not something we can simply snap out...

January 24,1984: Steve Jobs Introduces Macintosh
by Shifra on January 24, 2016Doesn’t it seem like yesterday? Via CBS News: January 24th, 1984, 32 years ago today … the day Apple delivered on a promise it made in a Super Bowl commercial just two days earlier…. At $2,500, consumers found that original Macintosh too expensive for what it could actually do. Sales fell short of expectations. And in little more than a year, Jobs was effectively forced to leave the company…. On the verge of bankruptcy in 1997, Apple brought Jobs back — and what followed was a seemingly endless succession of successful Apple products, continuing up to Jobs’ death in 2011 — and beyond…. By the way, the early 1984 Macintosh computer had 0.13 MegaBytes of memory. The iPhone 6S, introduced...

Blind Dog Saved By Good Samaritan
by bamconola on December 31, 2015**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By bamconola** I know Tammy loves great animal rescue stories. All Tams will enjoy this one. Via USA Today: Fishing guide Brian Carper didn’t have to use a pole to make a big catch the day after Christmas. All he needed was a soft spot in his heart for a blind dog in trouble. Carper left his boat to rescue the tiny 13-year-old shih tzu who wandered into Percy Priest Lake. Carper returned the dog to his grateful owners, who had been searching for their beloved pet for 15 hours. “When we got him back it was a reminder to me that God watches over his creatures both great and small,” said Barbara Gibbs,...

Fuggedaboudit: Brooklyn Bird Watchers Ecstatic To Find Rare Florida Species
by Shifra on December 2, 2015With all the ugliness in the news lately, this story is a nice change-of-pace. Isn’t this a beautiful bird? I mean, hey, fuggedaboudit! Via NY Post: Birders are flocking to Prospect Park to catch a glimpse of a rare bird that touched down in Brooklyn over the weekend. At least 100 avian enthusiasts a day are showing up at the park’s LeFrak Center to see the Florida tweeter — called a painted bunting — with its multicolored plumage…. “When I first tried to photograph it, I was literally shaking so much I had to calm myself down to get the shot,” he said. This is the first adult male painted bunting that’s ever had a recorded visit to Brooklyn —...

Video: Police and race participant hold hands, cross finish line together
by rtthorne on March 24, 2015**Bumped Up From TAMWire. Posted By rtthorne** A great story from so many angles. But it’s not news to most of us that the policemen are actually good dudes. No doubt the Obamas, Holders, and Sharptons of the world would have you believe something sinister is afoot. Proud for the officer, the son, and especially Asia Ford. I’d like to see an update about her continued transformation after next year’s race. Via Wave3News: VIRAL PHOTO: Hand in hand, police and race participant cross finish line together A powerful photo from the Rodes City Run is making its way around Louisville social networks. Asia Ford trained for the race for months. Approaching mile five, she began to have difficulty breathing. As...

Video: 12 Year Old Black Seventh Grader Applauds Rudy Giuliani, Slams POTUS
by Shifra on February 23, 2015This is why we should be hopeful about the future of the U.S.A. And here’s hoping we will be hearing a lot more from C.J. Pearson. Via The American Mirror: Watch: Black middle schooler slams Barack Obama in epic YouTube speech “Here’s the truth of the matter: I don’t want to be politically correct. I don’t care about being politically correct at this point. “President Obama, You don’t love America. If you really did love America, you would call ISIS what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on America and downright hate for the American values that our country holds. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and every single thing that our country stands for.” He adds,...

Sassy! Kate Middleton’s Eye Roll At Bossy Charity Worker Priceless
by Tammy on December 12, 2014I love this. It is a little embarrassing an American was this clueless, but Kate’s reaction was perfect. As of this post, the snippet on Vine has over 7.5M views. LOL! I’m still hoping QEII will bypass Charles and the Rottweiler and put William and Kate on the throne sooner than later. Via Daily News. Folks at a Harlem kids’ facility dismissed Kate Middleton’s royal eyeroll as much ado about nothing. The Duchess of Cambridge was caught showing a little London sass when a bossy employee at the Northside Center for Child Development caught her relaxing Monday at a charity event. “Keep wrapping!” the woman snapped as Middleton prepped Christmas presents… The Duchess was chatting and cheerily wrapping presents for...

by Tammy on October 24, 2014You all know I like the British Royal Family. Except for Charles. But he did do a pretty good job raising the boys. Today Queen Elizabeth tweeted using the @BritishMonarchy account. Which I’m now following 🙂 She’s 88 and still going strong. I like that, too 🙂 On a day like today, I hope you enjoy this sort of fun news as much as I do.
