Oboe: Japanese Robot To Make Human Memories Immortal

-

It is said that sometimes fiction is stranger than life. This is one of those cases, because this robot will convince you that real life is in most cases the strangest of all. We humans are not immortal, so it’s important that we - or our memories live on somehow after our bodies turn to worm food.

When it comes to strange things, the Japanese are the first in line to give as a solution.

What is OBOE?
Oboe is a robot made with sole purpose of carrying human thoughts through time. The Oboe was designed by Arnaud Deloustal as a robot that would ‘hang-out’ with the elderly and carry memories of them. Oboe would store within it all the information that is to be gained about the certain individual. This way as much of their “essence” as possible will live on. You can see how the future might play out with “Oboe”. We continue to live, in a sense, in robot form.


Oboe is designed so that memories of an individual live on long after the person is gone. This is not really a case of artificial intelligence and although it seems so strange. Humans are designing robots to live with the elderly and gain insight about them instead of spending some time with their loved ones themselves.

Mathematics model anticipates obscure biologic Mechanism Of Regulation

-
A squad of Researchers, conducted by a biomedical technologist have established that possible patterns produced from information received by desoxyribonucleic acid microarrays, could be expended to correctly anticipate antecedently unidentified cellular mechanisms. This gets biologists a footstep nearer to one day equaling able to empathize and command the inside works of the cell as promptly as NASA masterminds secret plan the flights of space vehicle nowadays. "Thanks to the Human Genome Project, biology and medicine today may be at a point similar to where physics was after the advent of the telescope," averred Orly Alter, adjunct professor of biomedical applied science In a 2004 report issued in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in coaction with Gene H. Golub of Stanford University, Alter applied numerical formulas inspired by those used in quantum mechanism to anticipate a antecedently unidentified mechanism of ordinance that correlates the commen

Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves. Anorexia usually begins in young people around the onset of puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight loss. Weight loss is usually 15% below the person's normal body weight. People suffering from anorexia are very skinny but are convinced that they are overweight. Weight loss is obtained by many ways. Some of the common techniques used are excessive exercise, intake of laxatives and not eating. Anorexics have an intense fear of becoming fat. Their dieting habits develop from this fear. Anorexia mainly affects adolescent girls. People with anorexia continue to think they are overweight even after they become extremely thin, are very ill or near death. Often they will develop strange eating habits such as refusing to eat in front of other people. Sometimes the individuals will prepare big meals for others while refusing to eat any of it. But anorexia can be cured

You will find violin spiders in abandoned or disorderly shelters.  These picture were posted on Reddit by a user, saying that his friend was bitten by the Recluse Spider.  Apparently, the Recluse Spider bite looked just like an infection.
