3D Printed E-Skin May Open Gate to Human-Machine Interaction
Student researchers have developed a 3D-printed electronic skin that can flex, stretch and sense like human skin, opening the door for new advances in human-machine interaction.
January 31, 2024
By utilizing nanoengineered hydrogels that exhibit tunable electronic and thermal biosensing capabilities, researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a 3D-printed electronic skin (E-skin) that can flex, stretch and sense like human skin.
“The ability to replicate the sense of touch and integrate it into various technologies opens up new possibilities for human-machine interaction and advanced sensory experiences,” says Dr. Akhilesh Gaharwar, professor and director of research for the Department of Biomedical Engineering. “It can potentially revolutionize industries and improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities.”
Future uses for the E-skin include wearable health devices that continuously monitor vital signs like motion, temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, providing feedback to users and helping them improve their motor skills and coordination.
“The inspiration behind developing E-skin is rooted in the desire to create more advanced and versatile interfaces between technology, the human body and the environment,” Gaharwar says. “The most exciting aspect of this research is its potential applications in robotics, prosthetics, wearable technology, sports and fitness, security systems and entertainment devices.”
The E-skin technology, detailed in a study published by Advanced Functional Materials, was developed in Gaharwar’s lab. Drs. Kaivalya Deo '22 , a former student of Gaharwar and now a scientist at Axent Biosciences, and Shounak Roy, a former Fulbright Nehru doctoral fellow in Gaharwar’s Lab, are the paper's lead authors.
Creating E-skin involves challenges with developing durable materials that can simultaneously mimic the flexibility of human skin, contain bioelectrical sensing capabilities and employ fabrication techniques suitable for wearable or implantable devices.
“In the past, the stiffness of these systems was too high for our body tissues, preventing signal transduction and creating mechanical mismatch at the biotic-abiotic interface,” Deo says. “We introduced a ‘triple-crosslinking’ strategy to the hydrogel-based system, which allowed us to address one of the key limitations in the field of flexible bioelectronics.”
Using nanoengineered hydrogels addresses some of the challenging aspects of E-skin development during 3D printing due to hydrogels' ability to decrease viscosity under shear stress during E-skin creation. The team said this feature facilitates the construction of 2D and 3D electronic structures, an essential aspect of replicating the multifaceted nature of human skin.
The researchers also utilized ‘atomic defect’ in molybdenum disulfide nano-assemblies, a material containing imperfections in its atomic structure that allow for high electrical conductivity, and polydopamine nanoparticles to help the E-skin stick to wet tissue.
“These specially designed molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles acted as crosslinkers to form the hydrogel and imparted electrical and thermal conductivity to the E-skin; we are the first to report using this as the key component,” Roy says. “The material's ability for adhesion to wet tissues is particularly crucial for potential healthcare applications where the E-skin needs to conform and adhere to dynamic, moist biological surfaces.”
Other collaborators include researchers from Dr. Limei Tian’s group in the biomedical engineering department at Texas A&M and Dr. Amit Jaiswal at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense and the United States-India Educational Foundation.

I purchased a box of frames at an auction for $3 last summer and, imagine my surprise, when I found this gorgeous little beauty in there! This frame was originally all gold (and quite ugly). But just look at some of the details on this thing...
I started off on this project by painting the gorgeous details with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ in Graphite. I then added some home-made aqua chalk paint (a leftover accent color from Eric's bathroom makeover). I dry brushed the aqua and didn't try to cover the details very well. This technique works much like a dark wax over the paint... all the architectural gorgeousness of this frame just pops right out with the Graphite underneath the aqua. But I did put a heavier coat on the straight lines of the frame to cover the original color.
I had Eric staple some chicken wire on the back. And this was not without incident!! No one got injured (except my frame), but I thought I might have to shoot Eric. Okay. That's a bit strong. Maybe I just considered punching him. lol. Despite my warnings to the contrary, he actually stapled right through this wonderful frame! In his defense, however, it was on the side, not in the details, and he did fix the problem with some handy-dandy wood filler. Thank goodness he didn't staple through any critical areas! Who knows what might have happened... :)
Once that was done, it was just a matter of adding some clothespins for a vintage memo board! No more ugly, just plenty of gorgeousness!

Two days before Mormon leader Brigham Young and his pioneer entourage descended from the Wasatch Mountains, William Carter was already at work in the refugee sect's new Salt Lake Valley home.
The 26-year-old English convert had crossed the Atlantic Ocean and Great Lakes by ship, and wore out shoe leather walking from Chicago to Nauvoo, Ill., where he met and married Ellen Benbow. The couple then joined Young's inaugural wagon train westward in February 1846.
On July 22, 1847, Carter — part of a handpicked, advance troop Young sent ahead from the Latter-day Saints' Winter Quarters, Neb., camp — immediately set to work breaking hard ground for crops needed to feed the coming settlers, including Ellen, whom he had been forced to leave behind as she recovered from illness.
A blade from the now-chipped, rusted plow he used, after diverting water from City Creek to soften the soil, survives 170 years later, encased in glass for the new "Mormon Trails: Pathways to Zion" exhibit in downtown Salt Lake City's Church History Museum, 45 N. West Temple.
An inscription on the old iron blade notes that it was used by Carter to plow "the first half-acre in the Salt Lake Valley." It was a sturdy plow, too. The same implement was used 15 years later to break the soil on the southwestern Utah settlement of St. George.
The new, second-floor exhibit seeks to offer a wider historical experience than perhaps previously offered for the flight of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from persecution in the mid-19th century, said Byron Andreasen, history curator for the museum.
"In the past, we really focused on the Utah pioneer period," the initial treks like Young's that brought the first settlers to the Salt Lake Valley, he said. "But that left a big gap in the pioneer story, one we wanted to address with this new exhibit."
For one thing, it was not just the single "Mormon Trail," the arduous 1,300-mile passage over plains, rivers, deserts and mountains from Nauvoo on the Mississippi River through Council Bluffs, Neb., the Platte and North Platte rivers, Wyoming's Forts Laramie and Bridger and then the Wasatch Range recognized by the National Park Service.
Using 3-D topographical maps, as well as a digital, interactive display, visitors instead will discover Mormon Trails, myriad alternate routes, cutoffs and detours used by pioneers to reach Utah between 1846 and 1890 — journeys that included long ocean voyages, crowded steamboats plying the Great Lakes, Mississippi and Missouri rivers, railroads, wagon trains and, yes, the legendary handcarts of Mormon lore.
"LDS visitors [to the exhibit] might see a little bit of their own family history in this, or imagine ... how they fit in this picture," Andreasen said. "Non-LDS visitors ... can see the unique dimension of the Mormon migration and the opening of the West."
Museum staffers have worked two years on the exhibit from conception to painstakingly gathering up and winnowing down hundreds of historic items to about 50 ahead of Thursday's opening to the public.
The result is a balanced blend of technology and relic, items both historically prominent and poignantly personal. A cap-and-ball pistol, possibly used by Mormon handcart leader Edward Martin to stand guard over the belongings of British converts departing Liverpool, shares space not only with Carter's famed plow blade, but also with pottery, chipped china, tools and clothing, musical instruments and precious family heirlooms.
An ingenious, and still functional, "wagon roadometer" — crafted of wooden gears driven by wagon wheel rotation to measure the Mormon trek's miles — is an eye-catching, centrally located showcase of the exhibit.
Asked to point out his favorite artifact, Andreasen confesses it is an obscure, small spinning wheel tucked near a corner.
"It was brought by Danish converts in the latter part of the immigrations, and, by that time, looms and other mechanical things had kind of taken over ... but they brought this little piece of their old life with them across the ocean, rivers and plains," he said.
"It represents the continuity of their family and their culture," said Andreasen, adding with a smile, "and I'm, Danish, too; I have Danish ancestors" who immigrated to Utah.

Ian Goldin is Professor of Globalisation and Development at the University of Oxford. He recently wrote an article in the Financial Times in which he gives a brief description of how technology is replacing human labour, making it harder for people to earn a living from paid employment. He then goes on to list five reasons why universal basic income isn’t a solution to this growing problem of technological unemployment.
You might hope that the combination of an Oxford professor and the FT would provide compelling arguments that are worthy of serious debate. Sadly no.
Professor Goldin’s reasons for rejecting UBI are so unreasonable that you suspect he has decided in advance that he doesn’t like the idea and then grabbed at whatever arguments popped into his head to support his prejudice.
His first objection is that UBI is financially irresponsible, unaffordable, requiring higher taxes or reallocation of resources from things like healthcare and education.
This is astonishing. Here we have an Oxford professor who appears to be ignorant of how money actually works, and ignorant of the distinction between money and resources: the difference between finance and physics.
The resources that are required to run a healthcare or education system are physical. The primary resource is people. Without the brain and muscle power of builders, technicians, teachers, nurses, cleaners, doctors, administrators, etc. there are no hospitals, no schools, no healthcare, no education.
Money is merely the tool that we use to activate these people, to allow them to put their brains and muscles to good use. And there is no limit to the amount of money that we can create and distribute in order to make these things happen.
So the first of Professor Goldin’s reasons against UBI is wholly unreasonable. We can fund a full UBI without raising taxes or inflating the deficit or diverting resources away from healthcare and education. Yes, we will need to modify our financial and fiscal systems to make UBI work, but they’re already in desperate need of reform and there are many ways to incorporate UBI into a reformed system.
His second objection to UBI is that it will lead to higher inequality and poverty.
It pains me to use the word “ignorant” again, but there’s no avoiding it.
Let’s take poverty first. A UBI set around the level of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s Minimum Income Standard will give everyone significantly more spending money than current subsistence welfare payments and state pensions. More money. If you are poor you know the value of more money. Even an Oxford professor telling you that the extra cash in your pocket has made you poorer isn’t going to change your mind.
As for higher inequality, this ignores two of the most liberating features of a full UBI, features that are glaringly obvious to anyone who has given any serious thought to the concept.
The first is emancipation from wage slavery. With UBI everyone has the freedom to pick and choose what work to do and what payment to accept for that work. This levels the playing field between employers and employees. It gives everyone the same advantage as someone who is wealthy, who has enough money in the bank to wait until they find a job that they want to do rather than have to take the first one that comes along. More equality, not less.
The second liberating feature of UBI is that it buys us time to do things other than earn money. With UBI we can study, spend time with our children and our old folk, learn new skills, and we can start businesses without the burden of paying ourselves a wage while we get the enterprise up and running. All of the things that are listed in the preceding sentence are taken for granted by people who are wealthy but are out of reach of people who are not. UBI absolutely reduces inequality of opportunity by virtue of buying time for all of us.
The third objection that Professor Goldin has to UBI is that it will undermine social cohesion. According to his logic “rewarding people for staying at home is what lies behind social decay.”
Well, if this is true we’d better round up the home-makers and the carers, the stay-at-home mums and dads, the artists and craftspeople, the musicians and the authors, the gardeners and the thinkers, everyone with a private income who prefers to sit on the sofa and read a book, and all of those wealthy ladies and gents whose only excursion out of doors is to go for lunch. We’d better round up the lot of them and march them down to the job centre before they all get hooked on smack and destroy the fabric of our society.
There’s more. He goes on to say that “crime, drugs, broken families and other socially destructive outcomes are more likely in places with high unemployment”. This infers that it’s being stuck at home that’s the problem with unemployment. You don’t think, Professor Goldin, that the demoralisation of the long-term unemployed in communities where unemployment is rife might have something to do with poverty, with lack of money to participate, with lack of investment in the community? You don’t think that conditional welfare payments might have something to do with it? Enforced pauperism? That being chivvied and bullied to do whatever underpaid drudgery is on offer by unscrupulous employers might be part of the problem? No? You’re certain that people choosing to sit at home is the cause of social decay?
The fourth objection is that UBI undermines incentives to participate. This one is an absolute steamer.
It appears to be based on the assumption that as soon as we are given enough money to meet our basic needs there is no incentive to earn any more. If this is true then every employer who is paying anyone more than the value of a full UBI (e.g. £1,000/month) is wasting their money, which is clearly nonsense. If you disagree, professor, I’m sure Oxford university will be delighted when you return the portion of your salary that you so clearly believe is superfluous.
If we follow the logic of this argument we should outlaw all unearned income. If getting money for nothing stops us from participating in society, in the economy, then we’d better make dividends and interest illegal. We’d better ban pensions and increase capital gains tax and inheritance tax to 100%.
Or maybe his objection is based on the assumption that we’re all born lazy and will only get off our backsides and do something useful if we’re threatened with starvation. Again, this is a ludicrous idea. Our communities are thick with people who spend big chunks of their lives doing things for others without being paid a penny for their efforts. And I have yet to meet anyone who is good at their job who is doing it only for the money. I know a lot of people of outstanding intellect and talent who have spent their lives doing work that is very poorly paid because they enjoy it, instead of pursuing a lucrative career doing something less fulfilling. UBI will help more people to follow this route.
The fifth reason is another gem: “UBI offers a panacea to corporate and political leaders, postponing a discussion about the future of jobs.”
Eh? The assumption here appears to be that the world is directed by corporate and political leaders and the rest of us should just sit quietly and wait for them to tell us what’s going to happen next, how they are going to manage the challenges of technological unemployment, inequality, and all the rest of it.
Sorry to disappoint you, professor, but we’re already of the opinion that the great and the good aren’t really up to the job. And this gets to the nub of the problem that UBI can help us to solve.
Our collective ability to participate meaningfully in the productive economy – to do useful stuff for the common good – is limited by the concentration of economic power in the hands of a tiny corporate and political elite.
It is very hard to initiate any productive activity in our economy unless you have access to time and money. Time is the key thing. Trying to innovate, inspire, activate something new whilst going to work to earn a living is extremely difficult.
This means that most of our talent is permanently unavailable, locked into service as employees, never allowed to initiate, develop, direct, and flourish.
Instead we rely on a small pool of people who have access to the wealth and influence that’s required to make things happen. Our ability to progress is limited by the imaginations and proclivities of this tiny sub-set of humanity.
UBI can change this. It can release the creative power of millions of minds. It can make innovation affordable by removing a huge chunk of the wage bill for any new venture. Instead of waiting for direction from an elite that rarely rises above mediocre in it’s handling of our affairs UBI gives all of us the freedom to participate in the business of finding better ways of doing things.
This, and the elimination of absolute poverty, and emancipation from wage slavery, and an excuse to reform our ridiculous financial system.
Are you blind to all this Professor Goldin? Or do you see yourself as one of the elite and don’t like the idea of losing all that lovely status and power?
8 thoughts on “Unreasonable Reasons For Opposing Universal Basic Income”
Estimates reveal that nearly half a million Japanese youth have become social recluses. In Japan, hikikomori (Japanese: ひきこもり or 引き籠り, lit. “pulling inward, being confined”, i.e., “acute social withdrawal”) are reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement. Hikikomori refers to both the phenomenon in general and the recluses themselves. Hikikomori have been described as loners or “modern-day hermits”.
My concern is that without any real financial incentive to go our and work in repetitive, hard, relatively unsocial jobs like fruit picking, production line work, or shop work, millions of young people will just refuse to take the first steps on the ladder of what can become exciting and interesting careers in these industries.
Think back to your first few jobs: would you have done them if you didn’t need the money?
This may or may not become a problem with UBI. We cannot tell until we try it. If we think it might become a problem then there are things that we can do to counteract it that will benefit young people and the economy (e.g. getting pupils out of the classroom and learning that there is satisfaction to be had from doing useful physical work).
Is the possibility of a hikikomori epidemic a good enough reason to forego all of the other benefits of UBI? Certainly not.
Yes, I probably would have done most of the jobs of my youth even with UBI. I was keen to learn stuff, enjoyed the workplace camaraderie, and a bit more money is always attractive.
”repetitive, hard, relatively unsocial jobs like fruit picking, production line work, or shop work,” aren’t these all jobs machine can do? Or did i miss something along your thoughts?
Does Japan have UBI? If not, I don’t see the relevance of Bayrok’s comment.
Hikikomori is a result of social pressures. Basic income would take those pressures away. When young people stop feeling guilty about their contribution, they thrive intellectually and the need to contribute returns
First off – I believe we have the same goal – finding policies that enable humans to live peacefully, freely and productively.
Financially, a UBI is completely conceivable – I completely agree.
Given the massive disruption, economies are faced with because of technological change and globalisation – some form of welfare state needs to ease the societal issues that arise from frictional unemployment.
Now, given the increased likelihood of significantly more structural unemployment due to changing labour market dynamics through the fourth industrial revolution – innovative considerations on how to deal with this situation are warranted and likely necessary.
My reservations regarding the UBI are the following (Please try to explain if I am wrong – I am open to being swayed – I have no allegiance to my current set of ideas – I am only interested in truth and what works):
Many European countries have welfare legislation that approximates a UBI for certain parts of the population. In Germany for example, you can almost always fall back on a security net of welfare benefits should you use your job etc. Now, these benefits are not enough to ensure a meaningful and dignified existence (which they probably are not intended to). So the pro-UBI argument would then presumably be that the level of welfare is too low and that people would fare better if they received a minimum income without having to jump through the hoops of the welfare system and had time to concentrate on more productive endeavours. While this is likely to be true for some people – I wonder whether a UBI would have similar issues as a minimum wage should have in theory (if it is too low it is ineffectual in what it is intending to do – if it is set too high, it distorts the labour market and keeps people from getting employed)
A UBI should distort incentives to do certain jobs that are generally considered undesirable (distortion effect I mentioned in 1). Since we assume that most physically demanding jobs will be done by robots, these should not be the ones that we ought to worry about.
But what about the painful, repetitive, simple jobs that a journalist has to do when he starts his career at a newspaper? He will likely be opening letters, answering emails, filling out databases for YEARS until he gets to do the interesting work that he intended to get into when he chose his career path. Will he have the drive to do that?
Now, I am aware that the UBI is not socialism – hence, beyond the assured minimum income there remains a profit motive and people will be able to gain significantly from hard work if they are willing to invest it. I am just very unsure whether people will have the drive to get out of the lower-income group they are automatically born in as soon as a UBI is put in place.
This is quite a blurry argument and I realise that it is hard to say anything definite here, but I would be interested to hear your thoughts about this potential issue.
“It appears to be based on the assumption that as soon as we are given enough money to meet our basic needs there is no incentive to earn any more.”
Well, that is not the argument though. It is that if you know that you can always just stay at your current level of income you might not develop the drive to aspire to more.
Relative poverty cannot be eradicated. Sure, a UBI would keep anyone receiving it from absolute poverty, but most western economies feature barely any absolute poverty anyway (certainly not the kind of global standards)
What exactly is the goal of the UBI regarding poverty then? 20 years after enacting a UBI, people who only receive the minimum income would consider themselves to live in abject poverty.
The UBI has weird implications of state dependency and it is very unclear to me what kind of politics such a welfare regime would foster. Would it increase political apathy and create a class of people that are even more sidelined from society? Is the UBI as a policy an elaborate form of vote buying?
“With UBI everyone has the freedom to pick and choose what work to do and what payment to accept for that work. ”
That is only true insofar as you can always fall back on your UBI. But beyond it, the same rules of the labour market as before will apply. How does the UBI change the situation relative to a society with generous unemployment benefits in this regard?
I think ideas such as the UBI are great examples of new ways in which we can societally encourage people to live a more productive and flourishing, as well as fulfilling life. I am not convinced at this stage, that the policy is at a stage of intellectual development in which it could be implemented.
What exactly is the evidence from real-life experiments around the UBI?
1) It is a mistake to conflate UBI and welfare. UBI displaces welfare but does not replace it. UBI is more than welfare. UBI is an agreement between all of us that each of us is born with an equal share of the right to prosper, and UBI is an emancipator of human energy/ingenuity/productivity. The idea that giving people money reduces their appetite for work is absurd. It might reduce their appetite for doing unpleasant work for subsistence wages, but that is a different economic argument and doesn’t justify with-holding UBI.
2) The economy doesn’t just happen. It needs people to do the things that we need for our collective security and comfort. We all have to learn how to be useful. This is a fact that has to be woven into the fabric of our culture, especially through our education system, regardless of UBI. If I think I want to learn journalism I will happily do the donkey work. I might be happy to do it for free (if I have UBI), or I might want a bit of a wage to top up my UBI. After I’ve been in post for a year I might see that I’m being productive and ask for a bit more wage. I (and many in my community) have spent my whole working life in the lower income group being productive, being useful. Why do I have to aspire to more income? Why would UBI stop me from being productive?
3) I define prosperity as a lack of fear: not having to worry about where the money comes from to pay for tomorrow’s food, shelter, fuel, and the means to participate in your community. That’s what UBI helps to provide: universal prosperity, which is the antithesis of absolute poverty. Relative poverty is something that future generations can argue about at their leisure. Our job is to attain universal sustainable prosperity.
4) Again, UBI is not welfare, is not a substitute or extension of welfare. UBI should be a component of a reformed financial system that’s designed to promote the productive capacity of the economy. UBI should not be the gift of government. The financial system should not be a tool of government, it should be a separate institution owned in common by the population and operated for the benefit of the population. In my book I propose a sovereign currency operated by a citizens’ bank under a charter that can only be amended by a mechanism that transcends the normal practice of government (e.g. judicial consent plus a super-majority vote). Government should be a client of the financial system (including UBI), not its master.
5) No, the same rules of the labour market do not apply. UBI eliminates wage slavery, and has the potential to reduce the wage bill by some fraction of the aggregate value of the workforce’s UBI. For example, if I currently earn £3k/month doing a job that I enjoy I might happily do the work for £2k/month plus £1k/month UBI. This is very different to the current welfare model.
All of the evidence that I’ve read from BI trials suggests that it increases both well-being and productivity. If you find contrary evidence I’d be keen to have a look at it.
This is a great article. I’d only critique two things.
1) The first point is not very convincing. It should be made clear that gov. could easily print money to fund a UBI without causing inflation, because inflation only occurs when consumption outpaces production and our economy has been massively constrained by a LACK of consumption for decades and we’ve actually been injecting cash into the economy regularly to prevent DEflation. We’re only at 73% of productive capacity, as of 2019. This means there is plenty of room for production to grow with increased consumption, maintaining the balance and resulting in no inflation/deflation. A UBI would be a much better way to prevent deflation than creating debt bubbles, as we are now. Furthermore, even if tax-funded, UBI’s “cost” is still not an issue, as the GDP growth and poverty-related cost-savings it causes means you get more out than you put in. If you pay $2 more in taxes to get $3 back, anyone would recognize that as a good deal. And, of course, the taxes can be progressive.
2) It should be mentioned that trials of UBI across the globe and over decades have consistently shown no significant effect on employment so the entire stay at home being lazy argument is bunk from the get-go.

What application AMP steps are used for the 66-77 Bronco?
My understanding is that they are for a longer truck and cut down to fit the shorter bronco.
This is what I ordered: AMP Research 75104-01A PowerStep Electric Running Boards for 1999-2001 & 2004-2007 Ford F-250/F-350/F-450 (All Cabs)
We put ours in the door jamb and put the controller under the dash to keep it away from water....
I've also purchased the Northeast Classics mounting plates. Did you find the angles welded on the ends of the mounting plate didn't extend out enough far leaving a pretty big gap between them and the Bronco sheetmetal? Also the mounting brackets have hex head bolts welded on from the back of the mounting plates so the plates don't lay flat against the inner rocker box sheetmetal. There doesn't seem to be very many options; cut a clearance hole so it would lay flat, mount the plates the way they are and have them tilt out a little at the top or remove the welded hex head bolts and weld in countersunk bolts so they'd be flush. Any thoughts?So I ordered BC Broncos Amp steps, along with a northeast classic Mounting bracket and I've got a few questions for those of you who have done this before.
1- Where do you install the door jam switch? Looks like if I install it towards the top it'll be too long, but not sure...
2- where did you guys mount the computer for a clean look? Any pictures?
3- I'm thinking about running my passenger side harness under the Bronco along the frame, and the passenger side inside the cab and back down probably through the floor board... Any one find a better way to route the harness?.. I'd go along the bottom on both sides, but don't want the cables near the exhaust.
Thanks fellas. Attached is a picture of the door Jam switch. Called BC Broncos first with no answer, but you guys are super smart too ;D
The quality is great. I actually do regret installing them on mine though. Every time I go 4 wheeling, they stop working and I've got to clean up the switch contacts and all the mud off of the steps and pivot points for them to work right again. I feel that they are super cool and awesome for a trailer queen bronco. I've been thinking about selling mine and buying rock skis with nerf bars stepsHey guys, nice thread. I am thinking of ordering some steps and was wondering what you thought of the quality? They look super cool but do they seem like they will last?

Tuesday's Tasting: Mayonnaise
We thought last week's boxed chicken stock tasting was yummy, but it had nothing on this week's culinary delight - prepared mayonnaise! What we don't do for our readers. This week we tasted three nationally available mayos alongside our homemade version. And for once, I'm going to tell you that the homemade was not our hands-down favorite. We tested the full fat versions - no low fat, no fat stuff here. And here's what we found... Hellman's Real Mayo was the most bland/least flavorful of those we tasted. Like the others, it was made primarily from soybean oil. And at the standard serving size of 1 Tbsp., it weighed in at 90 calories, 90 mg of sodium and 10 g of fat.
Duke's, which many foodies swear by, was by far the creamiest and offered a slightly acidic flavor - all in all a good thing as a bit of acid (think vinegar/lemon juice) is often needed to cut through the heavy fattiness of mayonnaise. 1 Tbsp. of Duke's comes in at 100 calories, 75 mg of sodium and 12 g of fat.
Kraft featured the most acidic flavor of the three brands, and I would have to say ended up being my favorite. Not that this has anything to do with it, but it was also the whitest in color of the three brands. 1 Tbsp. comes in a 90 calories, 70 mg of sodium and 10 g of fat.
Our homemade mayo was just fine tasting but it was the oiliest to the touch. We used vegetable oil - which tends to end up being predominately soybean oil - to make the mayo. And if I was going to do it again, I would substitute a good quality olive oil instead with a bit of fresh garlic.
If you want to make your own, here's a good recipe. It's not difficult, but there is one technique that can trip you up - in order for the eggs and the oil to emulsify into mayonnaise, you have to introduce the oil very SLOWLY, all the while whisking vigorously. Keep that in mind and you'll have a lovely homemade mayonnaise. You can always employ the help of a blender or food processor to help slowly incorporate the oil. It makes it much easier to do if you're by yourself in the kitchen.
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 C. vegetable oil or olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and lemon juice. Slowly whisk in the oil until it emulsifies. If at any time there is an excess of oil, stop adding it and whisk until it is fully incorporated. Continue adding oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add garlic if you like.

While you look at the picture the first thing that will strike your mind is, “How does this thing actually float?”. This globe is very light in weight and uses strategically placed magnets and sensors to create the floating effect.
So, all you need to make it float is just plug in the base and carefully place the globe over top the center of the base. This globe is great for educational purposes as it shows the true scientific characteristic of the earth.

Special Issue "Genomic Analysis of Antibiotics Resistance in Pathogens"
A special issue of Antibiotics (ISSN 2079-6382). This special issue belongs to the section "Mechanism and Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance".

Special Issue Information
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens currently poses a serious threat to public health and the economy. Due to antibiotic treatments in humans and in veterinary medicine, pathogenic bacteria are the most frequently exposed to unnatural doses of antibiotics and their selective effect.
In bacteria, resistance to antibiotics can be encoded on chromosomes, plasmids, or other mobile genetic elements. It can also result from mutations that lead to changes in the antibiotics’ affinity for their targets or in the antibiotics' ability to act on bacterial growth or death. The exposure of bacteria, bacterial populations, and microbial communities to antibiotics, at different concentrations, shapes their genomic dynamics, such as the mobilization and spreading of resistance determinants. It is essential to understand the dynamics and mobilization of the genes that encode antibiotic resistance, in human, animal, plant, and environmental microbiomes, through genomic and metagenomic approaches and bioinformatics analyses.
This Special Issue seeks manuscript submissions on the horizontal transfer of antibiotic-resistance genes, their dissemination and epidemiology, association with bacterial virulence, between bacterial genotypes and their phenotypes, or any related research topic.

Piriton, which contains chlorphenamine maleate, belongs to a class of medications known as antihistamines. It treats allergies, including hay fever, food and drug allergies, allergic skin responses, pet allergies, and itching caused by diseases like chickenpox. It is also used to treat anaphylaxis, a form of allergic reaction that is a medical emergency.
Allergic reactions might result in swelling, rashes on the skin, watery eyes, and a blocked nose. Piriton works by blocking the effects of histamine. Therefore it may assist with allergy symptoms like these. Allergies may be triggered by items such as peanuts, pet hair, pollen, and insect bites.
Piriton allergy tablets are available in online pharmacies with or without a prescription.
Just continue reading to learn more about Piriton allergy tablets, their dosage, side effects, who should and shouldn’t take them, and when and how to use them.
Hay fever, often known as allergic rhinitis, is characterised by cold-like symptoms. Congestion, itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and sinus pressure are all possible allergic symptoms. Hay fever, unlike a cold, is not caused by a virus. Hay fever is caused by an allergic reaction to a harmless outdoor or indoor chemical that the body mistakes for something dangerous (allergen).
Pollen and dust mites are two common allergens that may cause hay fever symptoms. Pet dander (tiny flecks of skin shed by dogs and other animals with hair or feathers) may also be allergens.
To learn more about Allergies, read our comprehensive guide that covers: Allergies:, Types, Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment options.
If you are looking for treatments for hay fever or general allergens, then visit our extensive page with allergy and hayfever medication and tablets.
Why Do Individuals Develop Hay Fever?
Some people suffer from hay fever, which may spread to their whole family. Many approaches to lowering or removing allergic symptoms can improve or worsen the situation.
Hay fever is caused by pollens (grasses, weeds, or trees), dust mites, moulds, and animal dander coming into contact with the nose or eyes.
Moreover, most individuals connect hay fever with spring when grass pollen levels are at their highest. This is known as spring hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis. Hay fever, on the other hand, may strike at any time of year.
Perennial allergic rhinitis occurs when allergy symptoms persist all year. Perennial allergic rhinitis is often characterised by an allergic response to allergens such as home-house mites, moulds, animal dander, or occupational allergies.
Hay Fever Symptoms
Symptoms of Hay Fever may include:
How to Manage Hay Fever?
You may control and alleviate your symptoms in several ways. Avoid going outdoors for long periods when pollen levels are high and avoid bringing fresh flowers inside your house. Avoiding gardening and trimming grass can also help keep your hay fever symptoms at bay. It's also a good idea to avoid hanging your clothes outdoors to dry if you don't want them to pick up pollen.
Piriton or Piriteze?
Allergy tablets, like Piriton and Piriteze, have the same effect. However, the active ingredients are different. Piriton allergy tablets include the active ingredient chlorphenamine, whereas Piriteze contains cetirizine chloride. They assist the body in manufacturing histamine when exposed to irritants, preventing gastrointestinal troubles. Allergies are caused by histamine.
What Is Piriton?
Piriton is the brand name for a medication known as chlorphenamine. It has an allergic reaction and is often prescribed as a pain reliever in pharmacies. Piriton allergy tablets are available in tablet form (4mg) or syrup form (5mg per 5 ml). The generic chlorphenamine substance is widely accessible.
What Is Piriteze?
Piriteze syrups include cetirizine, a form of antihistamine; they also contain antihistamine. Cetirizine relieves symptoms associated with allergic reactions or fever. Piriteze is appropriate for young children. Keep an eye out for any age limitations on each specific product.
Piriton Allergy Tablets
Piriton allergy tablets are prescribed to treat allergic reactions such as Hay Fever. Any noticeable swelling, nose and skin rashes are common among the symptoms. The active ingredient in these Piriton allergy tablets, Chlorphenamine is a more sophisticated antihistamine that produces drowsiness and makes you sleepy.
Piriteze Allergy Tablets
Piriteze allergy syrup or tablet may also help relieve symptoms of hay fever allergies. It may occasionally help with the itchy skin, recurrence or itching of chronic urticaria or insect bites. These tablets are antihistamines and contain the active component cetirizine hydrochlorides. Piriteze, like Piriton Allergy pills, is used to treat a range of allergies.
How Does Piriton Work?
Piriton allergy tablets contain phenomena malate. Chlorphenamine is an antihistamine that relieves insomnia, anxiety, and tension.
Histamine causes the body to manufacture pollen and pet allergies. Histamine produces an itchy rash, watery eyes and nasal discomfort.
To reduce allergic reactions, like dermatitis pet allergies, skin allergies, stings, and house dust mite allergies, use Piriton allergy tablets for two days. Piriton is taken regularly to reduce pollen-related hay fever and house dust mite allergies. You may take Piriton after a meal to lower pollen count or while visiting gardens. It would be best to consult with your doctor about the recommended dose.
Adults and children: 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours.
Side Effects of Piriton
Here are some of chlorphenamine's adverse effects. Not everyone who uses Piriton may suffer the negative effects listed. Individuals respond differently to medicines. Side effects may include:
Feeling drowsy. If you are affected, don't drive. Kids should avoid riding horses or bikes, climbing trees, and engaging in other potentially dangerous activities.
Problems with coordination
Some Possible Side Effects
Liver problems such as inflammation
Nervousness, restlessness, or increased energy
Pulse awareness (palpitations), rapid or irregular heartbeat
Low blood pressure
Who Should and Shouldn't Take Piriton?
Piriton allergy tablets are extensively used in medicine for adults and children. Piriton is not a prescription medication or treatment for any other condition. The syrup is not suitable for usage by children aged one year. Some professionals give chlorphenamine to toddlers from two months to one year. It is critical not to provide Piriton syrups or other medicines to children under the age of one year without the supervision of a doctor.
Can You Take Piriton with Other Medicines?
If you are on any prescription drugs, you should see your doctor before using Piriton to ensure its safety and efficacy. The following are the essential points:
Other Sleep-inducing Medications
Your sleep may worsen if you use Piriton with other medicines that cause drowsiness.
Piriton tablets should be effective with pain medications such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. It is preferable to avoid taking co-dydramol since it may be too intense for sleeping.
Other Antihistamines or Allergy Medications
Please do not combine Piriton with antihistamines. You may need steroid nasal spray and cromoglicate eye drops. Please remember that antihistamines may be found in coughs, colds, and travel medication. Always check with your pharmacist before using Piriton.
How and When Should You Take Chlorphenamine?
Inform your doctor about how you are using chlorphenamine. If you can get chlorphenamine or other drugs containing chlorphenamine from a pharmacy, follow the directions on the package. See your doctor if your symptoms do not improve in 1-2 days.
When to Take It?
Chlorphenamine should be taken as needed. If you have skin allergies or other allergies, you may take chlorphenamine. You may experience symptoms if you use animal hair. If you suffer from hay fever, your doctor may advise you to take a regular dosage to alleviate symptoms throughout spring.
How to Take It?
Chlorphenamine fluid may aid in the recovery of diabetic children. It is simple to get chlorphenamine without eating anything. Because the 4 mg allergy tablets are split in half, children may take less than one dosage. This medication comes with either a syringe or a spoon for measuring.
Breastfeeding and Pregnancy
Other antihistamines, such as chlorphenamine maleate, may suppress breastfeeding and be produced in breast milk.
Chlorphenamine has no proven health advantages during pregnancy and should be avoided mainly during the first or third trimester. Before taking Piriton, talk to your doctor about possible pregnancy concerns. Doctors will recommend the maximum daily dose to women who are pregnant. Your doctor can discuss the many treatment choices for a specific condition.

Two people have been arrested and two others are wanted in connection with a string of carjackings in southwest Atlanta, according to police.
The two suspects are sought on multiple charges, including hijacking a motor vehicle and armed robbery in four incidents, Atlanta police spokesman Steve Avery said. Two others, Joetaevious Easley, 19, and an unnamed 16-year-old, were previously arrested and charged, Avery said.
The first attempted carjacking happened March 25 at a Valero gas station on Delowe Drive, according to a police report. A woman told police she was pumping gas when two men pulled handguns on her, a police report said.
The men got out of a silver Nissan Sentra and demanded the keys to the woman’s car, she said. They told her they would shoot her if she didn’t hand them over.
“(The victim) stated in fear she then ran inside the gas station and told the clerk to call police,” the report said.
When the woman ran away, the men got back into the silver Nissan and took off. The victim told police a woman was driving the car.
The next three incidents all happened within a 36-hour period, according to a series of Atlanta police reports.
Officers were sent to the parking lot of a suite in the 3600 block of Camp Creek Parkway about 8 p.m. March 30, a police report said. A woman told police she was sitting in the passenger seat of a black 2010 BMW while her husband was inside a restaurant ordering food. At some point, a white sedan pulled up next to her.
Surveillance footage from the parking lot shows two men get out of the car, according to the incident report.
“The suspects in the white car then pulled handguns on her and pointed them at her,” the incident report said. “They then ordered her to get out of the vehicle.”
One of the suspects got into her BMW and drove off, the police report said. The woman told police her purse and phone were still in the car.
The next day, the carjackers robbed a delivery man at a gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive about 2 a.m., an incident report said.
The victim told police he was parked in the lot outside a Texaco convenience store for a delivery when he noticed two cars near the gas pumps. One appeared to be a black BMW, and the other was a green sedan with a drive-out tag, according to an incident report.
When the victim finished his delivery and left the store, he saw someone nearby “making distracting movements” and asking aloud if anyone had seen his phone, the report said.
That’s when two men approached the victim, pulled out pistols and told him to get on the ground, the report said.
The victim handed over his wallet, his phone and the keys to his gray Toyota Sequoia, the report said. The suspects fled on Peyton Road.
Twelve hours later, police say the suspects struck again. A man called police and told officers he had been carjacked at gunpoint outside his home.
He said he was sitting in his truck at a location on Larchwood Road when a green sedan pulled up next to him. A man got out and pointed a gun at him, according to an incident report. When he complied, another suspect forced him to go to the back of the truck and lie on the ground.
“The victim stated one of the suspects, with dreads, put a machine gun to his head and asked for the passcode to his iPhone 8,” according to the incident report.
The suspect with the dreads got back into the sedan and the other suspect got into the man’s truck, the report said. Both then took off.
Atlanta police were alerted to the carjacking and spotted one of the stolen vehicles on Glenn Street. Officers followed it and pulled it over near Richardson Street, Avery said. Two men and two women were inside the vehicle, along with two guns, he said. All four people were detained.
Investigators determined the driver and passenger, later identified as Easley and the 16-year-old, were involved in the carjacking on Larchwood Road, Avery said. Both were taken into custody.
Easley was booked into the Fulton County Jail, where he remains with no bond. He is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with intent to rob, armed robbery, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, expired or no license, hijacking a motor vehicle, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm while attempting to commit a felony.
Few details were released about the two suspects wanted in the case.

Devotees Give Way To Ambulance During Ganesh Idol Immersion In Pune
In an example of humanity, people of Pune gave way to an ambulance during the massive Ganesh idol immersion procession on September 13. Seeing the ambulance, people paved the way for the ambulance to create a corridor. The incident was caught on camera, winning applause on social media. The Ganesh Visarjan, marks the culmination of ten-day long festival to Hindu god Ganesha.


Sen. David Perdue is just fine with Donald Trump trying to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to flip the presidential election results there, a likely crime. No, what Perdue is upset about is that Raffensperger made Trump’s behavior public.
Appearing on Fox’s America’s Newsroom show today, Perdue predicted he’ll win tomorrow’s runoff election against Jon Ossoff. Perdue called the election, which could determine control of the Senate, “the last line of defense against this radical, socialist agenda and really our last opportunity to protect everything President Trump has accomplished over the last four years.”
That, apparently, was reason enough to give a pass to Trump’s corruption and attack on our electoral process. Without being asked, Perdue lit into Raffensperger and defended Trump.
PERDUE: Let me say something about the secretary of state. I did say it was disgusting. I guess I was raised differently, Sandra. My Mom and Dad were schoolteachers but to have a statewide elected official, regardless of party, tape without disclosing a private conversation with the president of the United States and then leaking it to the press is disgusting.
But I didn’t hear anything in that tape that the president hasn’t already said for weeks now, since the November election, calling for some sort of investigation, some sort of resolution to the improprieties and the irregularities that we now see happened in November here in Georgia.
Host Sandra Smith let Perdue’s smear of our electoral process go unchallenged but she did challenge Trump’s shocking new low:
SMITH: Perhaps, then, you’re not seeing what Jonathan Turley saw when he said it was absolutely breathtaking to hear the president use the words, “I just want to find the 11,780 votes.” He’s a constitutional law professor. Ari Fleischer said, “Pretty much everything the president said on that call was wrong.” He used to be the press secretary for George Bush. Adam Kinzinger, Republican, called what the president did there, on pressuring the secretary of state, “absolutely appalling.”
So, sir, you’ve reacted to the leaking of that call and the actual taping of it. Got it. But what about the contents of that call?
PERDUE: Well, however he said it, Sandra, what he’s saying, a lot of people in Georgia – and 75 million Americans, I think, align with him right now. That something untoward happened here in Georgia and we have not gotten to the bottom of it.
… I’ve been calling for weeks to object to the electors because in the state of Georgia, I don’t believe that we should have certified this election yet.
But what’s so wrong about Trump’s call is how he sounded like a mob boss demanding Raffensperger “find the” votes for him. Trump said, “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”
But instead of noting that Trump’s behavior was likely criminal as well as proof that he is relying on debunked conspiracy theories, Smith moved on to ask, “Are you concerned that that may discourage voters from coming out to vote for you and your Republican colleague, Kelly Loeffler, in Georgia tomorrow?”
When Perdue didn’t quite answer the question, Smith finally laid out the facts.
SMITH: Just to be clear, the ballots in the presidential election were counted in your state three times, including a mandatory hand count. And a Trump-requested recount. So, you’re asking for more than that, more should be done than that.
PERDUE: Sandra, I never called for a recount. That was a waste of time. A hand count and a machine recount, that’s not what I’ve been saying. I’ve been saying all along that there are things that went on around the signatures that we have not been given answers to and therefore, we need a full signature audit against the registration signature alone. Not an application signature or anything else. And oh, by the way we don’t even know that certain counties who were given discretion to do that, when they were burdened by an ever-increasing amount of applications for absentee ballots, we went from five percent to thirty percent absentee ballots in this race.
And yet, Perdue, who repeatedly noted that he won by two points in November (just not be enough to avoid a runoff), didn’t mention any problem with the voting results for his own race in November.
You can watch Perdue stab his own secretary of state in the back, as well as the rule of law and our democracy, for the sake of political power below, from the January 4, 2021 America’s Newsroom.
PS: IF YOU'RE A GEORGIA VOTER, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
It’s already bad enough that elections in the USA are run by state-level incumbents and not by a non-partisan commission. My brother is convinced that GWB won Florida in 2000 because the Republican Secretary of State had her thumb on the scale: many voters were simply purged from the voting rolls, many (my nephew included) had difficulty finding out where they were supposed to vote. And that’s only two of the things she did.
PS: While I am grateful to the GA republicans for sticking to their guns, it doesn’t make me trust them NOT to try to cook the election books in the future. Even Raffensperger tried several times to suppress the vote before the 2020 elections. Schizophrenia is a word that comes to mind.

Algerian medics fear next week’s reopening of national borders will trigger a new surge in COVID-19 cases despite health measures, as people living abroad rush home to see family, Reuters reports.
The borders have been mostly closed since the global pandemic struck in early 2020, marooning thousands of Algerians working overseas and separating families with dual nationality but helping to protect against a more serious infection rate.
“I am afraid of a likely increase in cases after the opening. Risks are high because of the variants,” said Wafa, a doctor working at a private clinic in Algiers who asked not to give her family name when criticising state policy.
Algeria, an oil producer, closed its borders and suspended flights in March 2020 when the global pandemic struck, only reopening them to humanitarian flights from France between January and March this year before another wave of infection began.
In total, Algeria has registered 126,000 coronavirus cases and 3,300 deaths. It will reopen the borders again on 1 June to flights from France, Tunisia, Spain and Turkey, but not to Gulf states where many Algerians also live and work.
The government briefly decided to postpone the resumption of flights but then changed its mind, while adding additional restrictions.
“We can open partially as long as we follow the conditions, including a PCR test and a five-day confinement upon arrival,” Mohamed Yousfi, head of Algeria’s infectious diseases organisation, told Reuters.
He warned that there was still a risk, however. “We have found out that some persons who tested negative in France ended up being infected a couple of days after getting into Algeria,” Yousfi said.
Foreign firms, including in the energy sector, have complained because they were unable to bring staff and even top managers into Algeria, according to a foreign manager who works in the oil sector and is based in Algiers.
For thousands of Algerians stuck abroad, the government decision to partially reopen is a relief, even if some complained about having to pay to spend five days at an approved hotel after landing.
“It’s great news, more than a year blocked in France. Definitely happy to go home,” said Douadi Azouz, an Algerian living in Lille, by phone.
“It will cost big money as I must pay the [cost of a] PCR test as well as the five days at a hotel, but it doesn’t matter really,” he said.
Algeria said the plan includes five daily flights from each country with which direct links were restored. Algerians based in the United Arab Emirates and other Gulf countries were not happy to be excluded.
“I am angry. I am homesick. Hopefully they will program a flight for us soon,” said Zoheir Cheikh, speaking from Dubai.
