Artificial pancreas hope for diabetes sufferer

This is a good news. If you got diabetes, you know what I am talking about: diabetes is the most common and yet almost incurable desease. Once you got diabetes, you’ll keep it for the rest of your life. As mentioned, this finding is a step forward, not the final result. But it’s really a good step forward. I wish I could see in my lifetime that the diabetes can be cured totally.

Scientists in Cambridge have shown that an “artificial pancreas” can be used to regulate blood sugar in children with Type 1 diabetes.

A trial found that combining a “real time” sensor measuring glucose levels with a pump that delivers insulin can boost overnight blood sugar control.

The Lancet study showed the device significantly cut the risk of blood sugar levels dropping dangerously low.

Experts said the results were an important “step forward”.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life threatening condition, in which the pancreas does not produce insulin – the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

Chinese FM urges patience in Iran nuclear talks

It’s good for the world if such big country as China will have an independent opinion over foreign policies relatively apart from other UN’s security members.

China signalled its intent to pursue a more assertive foreign policy, saying “a fifth of mankind” had a right to be heard, and stating its opposition to the west on a range of issues.

The country’s foreign minister, Yang Jiechi, threatened retaliation for American arms sales to Taiwan, and made it clear that China was prepared to stand alone among the permanent members of the UN security council in opposing sanctions against Iran.

He insisted Iran had not closed the door on negotiations over the export of its uranium, and called for patience and “a more flexible, pragmatic and proactive policy” towards talks with Iran.

Speaking at a global security conference in Munich, Yang also rejected western criticism on internet freedoms and China’s role at the Copenhagen global warming summit in December

How to Make Money Online Sucessfully

Have a vision!, says Daniel Scocco of Dailyblogtips.

If you want to have success, whether it is online or offline, you need to have a crystal clear vision about what you want to accomplish. You need to believe in that vision, and work hard to achieve it no matter what obstacles are going to appear along the way.

The opposite of having a vision in making a living online is by doing opportunistically without any clear direction which will lead you to total failure

What is the opposite of having and strong vision and working to achieve it? Acting opportunistically, and that is a problem that I see with many people trying to make a living online.

When you act opportunistically, you will jump from project to project, from business model to business model, trying to make money in whatever ways you manage to discover. Sometimes you will also put principles and ethics aside to catch those “opportunities.”
