Apartment found - yay!

[silveradept]

Last piece of puzzle has clicked into place, as I was approved for an apartment that will be right across from where the workplace will eventually be, when the new workplace is built. At the very latest, by Tuesday, I will be starting work and moving in. Sounds like it'll be a busy, busy day.

To save my own sanity, you guys get linked on, so I don't have to go through a horrendous backscroll. Brace yourselves.

Artificial heart device assists child to regenerate natural tissue. Take enough strain off it, I suppose, and nature does what she will. Neat-o.

Things continue to degenerate while supposedly being clarified. Again, apparently even linking to "objectionable content", even if the content should shift on you, could get you ToSsed from LJ.

U.K. is dumbing down the tests, apparently taking an example from America on how to run an education system. First link has the answers, and here's a sample test, in PDF format. I assume the reading audience is smart enough to know why nobody should take American public education as an example.

bradhicks comments on two years after Katrina rolled through, saying that it's really too early to call on how much and how well things are going, why it seems to be that Republicans have "bathroom problems", the illusion of showing both sides of an issue, and what happens when someone hasn't broken the law, but is someone most people consider to be icky.

Police provoking demonstrators into rioters to arrest them later? Baaaad juju, people. Really bad juju. That's not a road you want to walk.

Anyway, that's the half-update. There's still more in my back-burner, but I'm out of time, as usual. See you all tomorrow.

ah, so it's still impossible for most hearts to recover the way hers did even if they use a berlin heart?

Yep. Plus most cardiovascular disease is related to smoking or obesity and that's plaque buildup in the heart and lots of prolonged damage. It sounds like in this case it was an infection which cleared when the heart muscle got a chance to rest. No matter how much rest you get, there's no good mechanism by which you can clear out 30+ years of hardened cholesterol glued to the inside of an artery. (Idly, if you ever want a good impetus to never smoke or to eat healthier watch a surgical team removing deposits from a patient's heart... it's really gross, second only to having to work with blood from morbidly obese patients where you get chunks of greenish-yellow fat that settle to the top if you leave it for more than a few seconds.)
