MIT engineers have developed a test to detect disease-related compounds in a patient’s breath.
The new test could provide a faster way to diagnose pneumonia and other lung conditions.
Rather than sit for a chest X-ray or wait hours for a lab result,
a patient may one day take a breath test and get a diagnosis within minutes.
The new breath test is a portable, chip-scale sensor
that traps and detects synthetic compounds, or “biomarkers,” of disease, which are in…

New sensor sniffs out pneumonia on a patient’s breath
“PlasmoSniff” is a new sensor that can detect disease-related compounds in a patient’s breath. Developed at MIT, it could provide a faster way to diagnose pneumonia and other lung conditions.

Theory: the rise of YouTube gamers has kind of ruined new games, especially sequels.
Nintendo saw countless hours of YouTubers horsing around in Breath of the Wild, so they made a sequel built entirely about horsing around in the same world with a bunch of goofy sandbox toys, rather than giving us a proper adventure/exploration/puzzle game.
Team Cherry saw YouTubers get incredibly skilled at precision combat in Hollow Knight, so they made Silksong all about precision…

Reinhold Messner's moving message about the recent death of Nirmal Purja and ten others:
What matters is being there while that person is still alive. Listening, especially in difficult times. Staying present when someone feels lost. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply to let them speak and to be heard.
I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away.
And yet l also know that, for some, …

Reinhold Messner on Instagram: "It’s a kind gesture, and everyone grieves and remembers in their own way. What matters is being there while that person is still alive. Listening, especially in difficult times. Staying present when someone feels lost. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply to let them speak and to be heard. I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away. And yet I also know that, for some, there is a quiet comfort in knowing they were in the place they loved most, doing what gave their life meaning. My thoughts are with all the families, friends, and everyone who loved them. Pls remember a human being is never an object. A life is measured by presence, not by tributes. #thinking #memories #"

Based on daily values, the July average of atmospheric CO2 at Mauna Loa was ~429.1 ppm. That's "only" 1.2 ppm higher than last year. But don't hold your breath: the upcoming El Niño will probably speed up the increase again.

13 months of daily, weekly, and monthly values, showing the seasonal swing with underlying increase.

Back in the country for less than 24 hours and we've already voted. Now if only we could imagine a world in which a non-Liberal could one day win our riding in a regular election. This time, of course, it's a by-election on the last day in August, so I'm not holding my breath.

You have to rest. There are industrial buildings on the opposite bank---abandoned granaries and silos---but they're so rain-rusted and sun-bleached, they have their own charm, like public sculptures. When you've recovered your breath, we continue.

By the middle of this week, insurgent progressive Democrats may have defeated establishment candidates in two vital primaries,
for a Senate seat in Michigan and the governorship of Wisconsin.
If and when that happens, the elite news media will overflow with
“Dems in Disarray!” stories,
and the the centrist Democrats who have been issuing dark warnings about their party’s left turn will be in a full-blown panic.
Those centrists need to take a deep breath, settle…

Moderate Democrats have a choice to make
Do they want to help their party win, or do they want to whine about the left?

Had an #acting #coaching client do a take focusing on one aim, then do a take focusing on a different aim, then, for a third take, had them split the difference and it was beautiful to see them do the scene with that greater breath to it. Sometimes finding the pieces builds the whole well.

I think I know why "sad trombone" (and any melody that descends like that) is sad .
I was awake listening to my wife snore and, as her breath slowed down (she must have been going into a deeper sleep phase), the pitch of the snore got lower and lower.
What if we instinctively associate decreasing pitch with person's breath slowing down, eventually to stop?

Donald Trump is planning to hit the campaign trail for 32 days before the midterm elections.
That would put the president on the campaign trail for more than 94 percent of the time between now and November 3,
effectively placing him at the center of an election cycle in which Republican candidates have increasingly tried to peel away from his influence.
The breakneck pace of the schedule has also spurred health concerns for a president who was recently caught out of breath af…
