Sunday 9 August 1998 - prebreakfast TV - ride to Forch - Röstipizza for lunch - ride down the roller slide and the funny elk-light fixtures - train ride home and a ham focaccia for supper

Sunday 9 August 1998

Hi everyone, Hope your week is going well. It is supposed to be cooled down by today. Twenty years ago today I did a quick country train and bus ride around Zürich, after a long day in Zürich itself. Eventually I went back home to München.

Overview

watching Ottifanten and an Otto Waalkes sketch comedy show on TV

shower and breakfast in hotel

check out, walk to Rümlang S Bahn station, lock clothes bag in locker

take S Bahn to Stadelhofen, then S-18 to Esslingen via Forch

take bus from Forch to Uster, and S-Bahn from Uster to Zürich HB

lunch at the Brasserie Johanniter

S-10 train to Üetliberg, walk up to see the Uto Kulm observation area

train to Zürich Selnau, walk back to HB

take train with Sommer Spezial ticket to München Hbf

head home with U-5, U-4 and bus 37 home

arrive home and no one complains (thankfully)

make it to work for the final week And that was the summary of what I did on Sunday, 9th August 1998.

That was some noisy night last night, I am lucky to be back in my comfortable room with no roommates to have to listen to (loud music, snoring and so on), and I have my own TV set.

Breakfast was served until 10 AM at the hotel, so I watched a little TV before going. Since I am still such a big fan of Otto Waalkes since July 1991, I watched an episode of Ottifanten, which are anthropomorphic elephants, the main character voiced by Otto Waalkes himself. Then there was the live action sketch comedy show, with his "English for runaways" inexact English-to-German translations, plus the Kakao sketch.

After seeing Otto on TV, I took a shower, then had breakfast. The breakfast was better than at the hostel, the items were more delicious and the bread rolls were fresh. Well worth the extra 10 CHF I paid. After that I checked out with my clothes bag, and I took my day bag with the remaining sodas for the swig bottle. It was a twenty minute walk to the Rümlang S-Bahn station. My ticket was still valid for Zürich and Rümlang until 12:30 PM but I wanted to out of that zone for the day. In that case, what is the appropriate ticket to buy for all zones of the Zürcher Verkehrsverbund (Zürich regional rail district)? More likely than not, it would be the 9 AM ticket available daily and for about 18 CHF for all zones, valid only up to the last train of the day, likely just after midnight.

From Rümlang, I took the S-Bahn via Glattbrugg and Oerlikon to Zürich HB, where for 6 CHF I could store the clothes bag away for the day until it would be time to take the train home. I had until 5:15 PM that day to explore the Zürich region. So I thought, why not take the S-18 all the way to Esslingen ZH? To do that, I had to take the S-Bahn from platforms 21 to 24 to Stadelhofen, and change to the S-18 at its own stop near the theater (which on 24 July was playing The Truman Show). In 1998 I did not know about the Tram museum at Burgwies, close to Balgrist, which would be open at 11 AM. That would have been interesting. I made it a point later to visit, and between September 2011 and December 2016 I have since visited twice. Going further, the S-18 ran on the same tracks as the tram line 15 up to Rehalp, and after that, it went on a surface route up to Zumikon-Waltikon and went underground for Zumikon and Maiacher, before coming out of tunnel for Forch. After Forch and up to Esslingen, the train route was mainly single tracked. The day was nice, mid 70s and had interesting scenery, not too hilly. At the end was Esslingen and I had to take a bus, line 842, through Mönchaltorf ZH to Uster. I had been to Uster on 4th of July 1997 but only by accident. That incident was due to the fact that I did not alight the S-Bahn train at Stettbach as I should have. But this time Uster seemed familiar and I knew where I needed to go and where to alight.

The S-Bahn from Uster to Zürich, goes northwest past the Greifensee.and Dübendorf, before it goes into tunnel at Stettbach and emerges at Stadelhofen. Then there is another tunnel section from there to Zürich HB which is platforms 21 to 24. I alighted at Zürich HB and it was time for lunch. I wanted to go back to my favorite restaurant at the time, the Brasserie Johanniter, on Niederdorferstrasse 70. They were not so full as the previous night and they offered me a table outside. I had a Hürlimann 1 Liter, and on the seasonal menu, they were serving Rösti as a pizza. I could order a "quattro stagione" (four seasons) pizza on a bed of the hashbrowns. It was actually quite delicious, too bad I did not take a photo of it. With a full liter of beer, you have to take at least an hour to enjoy it. I think it was about 2 PM that I paid the bill and left for Üetliberg.

In 1998, the SZU, Sihltal-Zürich-Üetlibergbahn used the same platforms as today, but instead of platforms 21 and 22, the platforms were called just 1 and 2 back then. I took the S-10 the entire distance to Üetliberg via Triemli. It was a four-zone journey and my 9 AM ticket covered it with no problem. When I arrived at Üetliberg terminus, I left the train, walked up the steep pedestrian trail to Uto Kulm, and for the first time I saw the most bizarre light fixtures around, namely the Bruno Weber Hirschlampen. These were four lights on the antlers of giant elk. Also there is some planetary display on the trail. The Uto Kulm resort hotel is at the top, and costs around 200 CHF per night, which I could not afford then. The observation platform and tower are still open to the public. From there you can see from north Zürich into the Albisgütli where there is the late summer Knabenschiessen event, and further along Lake Zürich towards Rapperswil SG and Pfäffikon SZ. I had to take about twenty minutes to get a good view of everything and appreciate the many years I had known Zürich (my first visit was 1976 when I was about four).

It was getting close to 4 PM and I had to go back to the rail station. I thought I would have some time to walk from Selnau to the station, it was not a long journey, and being Sunday, the traffic would be light. I arrived about 4:45 PM and searched for some place to buy Victorinox knives but I could only find cheap store-brand replicas. They would have to suffice. I managed to collect my clothes bag, get to the train to München Hbf and board the right train car, as stated on my Sommer-Spezial ticket. My seat was in an open area of the first class compartment and with a window all to myself. At 5.15 PM the train left Zürich HB, I left seeing the Zürich insurance billboard just outside the station, and away it went. I took a few photos here and there, particularly getting close to St. Gallen. There was a bistro wagon going through the cars, and I could not pass up the ham and cheese sandwich on a focaccia-shaped bread roll. The train reached Bregenz about 7:45 PM. That was the only time the border guards were on the train, and the rest of the way it was uneventful. I think I took a nap between Lindau and Buchloe. As you might expect, the electrification did not start until the train passed Geltendorf, which is kind of the imaginary border of Oberbayern and the Ostallgäu. The sky was getting darker and about 9:50 PM the train pulled into München Hbf. There was no point remaining in the station so I headed home, first on the U-5 to Lehel, and caught the U-4 to Arabellapark, then the bus 37 to my apartment in the Freischützstraße. I entered quietly and no one told me off about my alarm clock.

And the next morning? It would be the final week of my Werkstudenttätigkeit, so all loose ends had to be tightened up, and paperwork had to be filled out for end-of-project, and I had to also take care of my apartment rental and last three nights in Paris for Summer 1998 before flying home. And buying this and that. So the next story may not be until Wednesday the 15th August. The 18th August is the "grand finale" of this saga.

Hope you enjoyed so far, Gute Nacht and bonne nuit!

PS Desirée is afraid of the dark, especially when she's in a park… (that was one song I heard repeatedly in Summer 1998, she had "You gotta be" in 1994)

El proyecto Magneuron y las nanopartículas magnéticas en las células controladas a distancia

Desde hace semanas, personas recién vacunadas sufren un extraño fenómeno, sus brazos quedan imantados. Los medios de comunicación dicen que los cientos de videos que corren por ahí de estos brazos imantados son falsos, y que el cuerpo humano no se puede magnetizar. Claro que también dicen que las vacunas son seguras, y que no contienen, aunque haya más de 15 mil muertos solo en Europa y EE.UU, oficialmente 5400, que son los reconocidos por la ONU . Sin embargo investigando un poquito… 

Bajo el título “Cómo hacer crear neuronas con imanes y nanopartículas“, descubrimos tesoros. La cosa se presenta bajo el pretexto de ayudar a los enfermos de Parkinson, y las reformas de las leyes sobre bioética harán el resto. En particular, se nos dice que:

El proyecto MAGNEURON pretende desarrollar una nueva tecnología de activación magnética de las funciones celulares para tratar la enfermedad de Parkinson. El concepto innovador de nuestra tecnología consiste en controlar a distancia el comportamiento de las células mediante nanopartículas magnéticas biofuncionalizadas.

Las nanopartículas son objetos muy pequeños, en el rango de los nanómetros, generalmente conocidos por ser nocivos. Al unir a su superficie biomoléculas específicas, es posible interactuar con moléculas celulares para dar señales específicas a las células.

Mediante el uso de nanopartículas magnéticas, es posible utilizar dispositivos magnéticos para actuar sobre ellas a distancia y desencadenar respuestas celulares.

Para afrontar al reto del control remoto de las neuronas, proponemos el uso de nanopartículas magnéticas biofuncionalizadas diseñadas para funcionar como “puntos calientes” intracelulares que indicarán a la maquinaria celular lo que debe hacer. Una vez liberadas en el citoplasma de las neuronas, estas nanopartículas magnéticas activarán reacciones bioquímicas específicas en el interior de las células en respuesta a los campos magnéticos externos, de manera que las nanopartículas promoverán y dirigirán el crecimiento de los brazos de las neuronas.”

El principio de esta tecnología consiste una reprogramación celular con un objetivo muy loable: curar. Pero ¿qué impediría que se utilizara en otras circunstancias? Cabe destacar que las llamadas células aumentadas son controlables a distancia (por control remoto).

Es una herramienta magnética que se comunica con las nanopartículas magnetizadas. En nuestro entorno, ¿podría esta herramienta estar representada por las antenas 5G, que nos introducirían de forma abrupta y brutal en el mundo del Internet de los Humanos?

Los científicos de la Universidad de Washington esperan que en el futuro se produzca una mejora significativa de esta tecnología de comunicación cerebro-cerebro para enviar información más compleja de una persona a otra. Andrea Stoco señala que “Internet es una forma de conectar ordenadores, y ahora puede ser una forma de conectar cerebros.”

¿Qué es el sigilo iPSCs que aparece en el dibujo de Magneuron?

Las iPSCs que parecen tener un papel central. Una plataforma dedicada a la comunidad de las ciencias de la vida en Zúrich dice:

Desde el descubrimiento de las células madre pluripotentes inducidas (iPSC) por parte de Yamanaka y Takahashi, esta tecnología ha abierto oportunidades sin precedentes para estudiar prácticamente cualquier tipo de célula de interés in vitro y modelizar enfermedades humanas “en una caja”. La comunidad de ciencias de la vida de Zúrich está aprovechando activamente estas nuevas oportunidades.

El objetivo de esta plataforma es favorecer las interacciones, las colaboraciones y la educación sobre esta tecnología entre los investigadores que trabajan con iPSCs en el área de Zúrich. Los grupos afiliados a todas las instituciones académicas están invitados a presentar sus investigaciones relacionadas al iPSC, incluyendo la Universidad de Zúrich, la ETH Zúrich y los hospitales universitarios (USZ, Kinderspital, PUK, Balgrist, Zentrum für Zahnmedizin). Pueden incluirse todos los temas de investigación, desde cuestiones de investigación básica sobre la pluripotencia de las células madre hasta la modelización de las enfermedades o la medicina regenerativa. Los trastornos que afectan todo sistema orgánico pueden ser incluidos( sistema nervioso central, corazón, riñón, músculo, sistema inmunitario, ojo o enfermedades metabólicas).

https://www.ipsc-research.uzh.ch/en.html

¿Y quién es M Yamanaka, que parece ocupar un lugar central en este nuevo tipo de medicina?

“Shinya Yamanaka (山中 伸弥: Yamanaka Shinya) nació en Higashiosaka, Japón. Médico japonés, es investigador de la inducción de las células madre pluripotentes y la reprogramación de las células somáticas.” (Wikipedia)

En un artículo publicado en Science en febrero de 2008, Yamanaka afirma que “el método de transformar genéticamente las células con ayuda de un virus no causa problemas de tumores, lo que podría abrir el camino hacia un uso terapéutico para la regeneración del tejido.” Wikipédia

Esta afirmación es aterradora en el contexto actual. Y como Wikipedia no daba ninguna referencia sobre el artículo de Science, aquí está el resumen de una publicación mRNA-Based Genetic Reprogramming escrita esta vez en 2018:

El descubrimiento de que las células cutáneas ordinarias pueden transformarse en células madre pluripotentes mediante la expresión forzada de factores definidos ha despertado la esperanza que tratamientos regenerativos personalizados basados en material inmunológicamente compatible derivado de las propias células del paciente podrían realizarse en un futuro no muy lejano.

Un obstáculo mayor en la utilización clínica de las células madres pluripotentes inducidas (iPSCs) ha sido inicialmente presentado por la necesidad de utilizar vectores virales de integración para expresar los factores que inducen un perfil de expresión génica embrionaria, lo que conlleva una alteración potencialmente oncogénica del genoma normal. Varios sistemas de reprogramación “no integradores” se han desarrollado durante la última década para resolver este problema. Entre estas técnicas, la reprogramación por ARNm es la más inequívoca, la más productiva y quizás la más adecuada para la producción clínica de células madre.

Aquí se discuten los orígenes del sistema de reprogramación a base de ARNm, de sus ventajas e inconvenientes, de las recientes mejoras técnicas que simplifican su aplicación y del estado de los esfuerzos actuales por industrializar este enfoque para producir en masa células madres humanas para la clínica.

Magneuron, ¡un proyecto apoyado por el gobierno!

Volvamos al proyecto Magneuron. ¡Este tipo de proyecto es llevado por los gobernantes que no consideran útil informar a los pobres de lo que les tienen reservado para un futuro inmediato! Esto es lo que presenta el portal francés del programa europeo de investigación e innovación. En la lista de testimonios de los ganadores, encontramos una referencia a Magneuron:

Desvío de las vías de señalización celular con nanoactuadores magnéticos para terapias con control remoto de células madre de trastornos neurodegenerativos.

magneuron : Decargar

https://www.horizon2020.gouv.fr/cid130111/boite-outils-pour-les-projets-technologies-futures-emergentes-fet.html

Tan interesante como este proyecto Magneuron es el Luminous

Este proyecto se describe en términos de visión de la siguiente manera. bastante inquietante…

Visión a largo plazo “Nuestra visión es que las informaciones teóricas desempeñarán un papel central en la comprensión de la conciencia, que la conciencia será un día cada vez más medida, cuantificada y modificada con seguridad a través de la interacción electromagnética” Avance científico y objetivo tecnológico – “El primer avance propuesto es “la creación de una nueva clase motriz de la conciencia sensorial, que minimiza “la creación de una nueva clase de conciencia motriz o superación de la conciencia”.El segundo avance al que se apunta aquí es la alteración eléctrica de la conciencia. “Novedad” trabajo pionero en ciencia fundamental, incluyendo conceptos de teoría de la información, y fisiología experimental, las aplicaciones clínicas y la tecnología”.

Así que la inserción de nanopartículas magnéticas no es una teoría de la conspiración. Estos individuos que están en los laboratorios de nuevo tipo y que se benefician del dinero abundante Planète finance están en proceso de relegar a Frankenstein a un rincón de la historia, con capirotes extra.

Se trata de grandes investigadores de diversas disciplinas que se han unido en proyectos comunes. La sinergia que surge parece desatar un poder cuyo potencial maligno no es difícil de imaginar.

Esta información ayuda a descifrar la más que probable monstruosa imagen final que mentes enfermas han dibujado para la humanidad.

В Швейцарии проведена первая в мире операция на позвоночнике с использованием дополненной реальности

New Post has been published on https://v-m-shop.ru/2020/12/12/v-shvejtsarii-provedena-pervaya-v-mire-operatsiya-na-pozvonochnike-s-ispolzovaniem-dopolnennoj-realnosti/

В Швейцарии проведена первая в мире операция на позвоночнике с использованием дополненной реальности

В Швейцарии проведена первая в мире операция на позвоночнике с использованием дополненной реальности 12.12.2020 [11:17],  Геннадий Детинич

Команда университетской клиники Балгриста (Цюрих) успешно выполнила первую операцию на позвоночнике с голографической навигацией. Технология была разработана в университетской больнице в рамках проекта с участием исследователей Высшей технологической школы Цюриха (ETH Zurich). Пациент чувствует себя хорошо, а хирургов будто бы наделили рентгеновским зрением.

Университетская больница Балгриста занимается проблемами опорно-двигательного аппарата. Это предполагает частую работу на позвоночнике, сложную и рискованную. В клинике несколько последних лет совместно со специалистами ETH Zurich разрабатывали систему дополненной реальности, которая должна была помочь хирургу в этой работе. Например, хирург в очках дополненной реальности мог одновременно видеть живой орган пациента и совмещённое с ним томографическое изображение органа. В частности, это позволяло прогнозировать насколько далеко, как именно и под каким углом войдут в кость скрепляющие шурупы.

Первая операция с использованием очков дополненной реальнос��и была проведена в начале этого месяца. Операцию провёл директор клиники и главный хирург Мазда Фаршад (Mazda Farshad). «AR усиливает чувства хирурга и улучшает его восприятие», — сказал Фаршад. На страничке ETH Zurich есть видео с кадрами из операционной. В нём можно увидеть работу дополненной реальности (примеры навигации) во время операции.

First UZH space hub research flight campaign

Research goes airborne: The UZH Space Hub is holding its first research flight campaign from 11 to 13 June. An airbus performing parabolic flights will take off from the military airfield in Dübendorf. In addition, a blimp will be used to investigate how to discover plastic in water from above using special image sensors. This could help to detect plastic pollution in the world’s seas.

This year the newly opened Innovation Park Zurich repurposed old hangars on the military airfield in Dübendorf into office space, creating a novel combination of airfield and laboratory. This site is now where the UZH Space Hub carries out joint research projects of the University of Zurich and its partners from air and space travel. “We want to provide science and innovation with straightforward access to space and make research take off,” says Oliver Ullrich, director of the Space Hub. “The UZH Space Hub’s unique combination of innovation park and airport can deliver important impulses for business, industry, science and innovation.”

Detecting plastic in water

Due to the adverse weather conditions on Monday, the blimp flight with UZH geographers on board had to be postponed: “It’s our goal to find plastic in water using highly specialized image sensors,” explains Andreas Hueni, who leads the Plastic Waste Mapping project of the Remote Sensing Laboratories (RSL) at the Department of Geography of the University of Zurich. To achieve this, the researchers are using a special hyperspectral camera, which is attached to the blimp. This camera is expected to detect various plastic nets swimming in the ponds on Irchel Campus from the sky. The findings from this project can contribute to improving the identification of plastic pollution in the oceans.

Zero gravity research

For the third time an Airbus A310 ZERO-G will take off from Dübendorf as part of the Swiss Parabolic Flight campaign. The research flights have for the first time been expanded across two days as a result of the high demand. The parabolic maneuvers – repeated extreme ascents and nosedives – create zero gravity conditions for a duration of 22 seconds each. This allows researchers to gain significant insights into the effects of gravity on biological, chemical or physical processes without having to leave the planet’s atmosphere using rocket or space technology.

16 experiments in zero gravity

Parabolic flights have been an important part of research in zero gravity for years and are normally carried out by major space agencies such as the European Space Agency (ESA). The UZH Space Hub and the Swiss SkyLab Foundation are taking a different approach: The costs are shared by industry, academia and private persons. This one-of-a-kind model has succeeded in significantly reducing the costs for academia.

A total of 16 experiments have been carried out on Swiss parabolic flights since 2016. It’s thanks to these flights that scientists from Switzerland have been able to acquire research funding at a European level or complete their research projects on the International Space Station within a record-setting time of only three months.

On board: Chinese Academy of Sciences

On this year’s zero-gravity flights a number of scientific experiments of Swiss universities and industry will be carried out. For example, the Balgrist University Hospital will investigate the influence of weightlessness on the human muscoskeletal system, while UZH will examine how cells respond to changes in gravity. New research equipment for the International Space Station ISS will also be tested. The parabolic flights will also welcome international team of scientists: The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is set to test production processes for space application.

Pregnant woman helped with chiropractic

A study recently published in a scientific periodical, the Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, showed that chiropractic helped pregnant woman suffering with lower back pain. The research was conducted in Switzerland, and compiled at the Department of Chiropractic Medicine, Orthopedic University Hospital Balgrist, University of Zürich, in Zürich, Switzerland.

Study authors begin by noting that lower back pain in pregnant women is so common that it is almost considered a normal part of the process. They estimate that between 50% and 80% of pregnant women will suffer back pain during their pregnancy, and this pain does have an effect on their quality of life.

In this study, pregnant women over the age of 18 with low back pain, pelvic pain, or both of any duration who had not undergone chiropractic, or any form of manual therapy in the prior 3 months were recruited from chiropractic practices in Switzerland.

Data was collected on a total of 115 women who participated in the study and received chiropractic care during their pregnancy. The data included a numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain, where “0” means no pain, and “10” would be the worst pain imaginable. Additionally the patient’s global impression of change (PGIC) scale was used so the women could rate their own overall progress from chiropractic care.

Data was obtained using accepted standardized questionnaires after chiropractic care was started at intervals of one week, one month, three months, six months, and finally one year after the initiation of chiropractic care.

The study results showed that all groups at all timeframes showed positive results from their chiropractic care. The results also improved as chiropractic care continued. The data showed that 52% of the pregnant women with back pain were improved at 1 week. The percentage of pregnant women with a improvement in their back pain increased to 70% at 1 month, and 85% at 3 months. At 6 months, 90% reported improvement, and, after a full year, that percent was statistically the same with 88% saying they were improved.

In their discussion, the researchers point out that the results of this study add to the growing body of evidence from prior studies showing that chiropractic is beneficial for pregnant women suffering from back pain. “The results of this current study which showed that a high proportion of pregnant patients with LBP undergoing chiropractic treatment reported clinically relevant improvement support those published in a recent cohort study as well as the recent randomized clinical trial (RCT) looking at chiropractic treatment for pregnant patients with low back or pelvic pain.”
