Google will offer free Internet in South Africa
Google on Wednesday announced the conclusion of an unusual agreement with the South African telecom operator Telkom agreement under which the latter will provide free mobile Internet to its subscribers from the most needy citizens, so that they could work with a global network for free. New Service Free Zone will be available to subscribers of mobile service 8ta, provided by Telkom, and its users in terms of South Africa will be free to work with all the services of the U.S. Internet giant, including Gmail, Google+ and others.
Of course, for free work at such subscriber must have a mobile phone that supports the Internet. "About 80% of South Africans have a mobile phone, but many use the mobile Internet is too expensive. Such a proposal should interest them," - says the manager of Google South Africa Luke Makend. Earlier this month, Google launched a similar initiative in the Philippines. Agreement with South African operator Telkom calculated until at least May next year.

These pages in the "read-only" for corporate users, pages, brands and different advertising campaigns.
The owners of these pages can be ordered paid promotion posts and pages, so they can not fall in traffic. Moreover, such business pages allow users to identify themselves and the advertising of branded accessory page. also launched a new network settings, with the help of which users can view the news feed exclusively on public pages, the user is subscribed to, the publication Next Web. So far, the user can sort the updates in the news in chronological order or by popularity, as well as to hide the news from individual users or pages.
In addition, Facebook allows to create and subscribe to the so-called list of interesting pages, when clicked, opens with the news feed only on the pages of the list. A similar function is available for the list "Close friends" - it allows you to filter updates from selected user's friends. New Product Pages Feed will enable a feed exclusively from the content of all public pages, the user is subscribed to, except for messages from his friends.

Lung on chip
US scientists at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have shown that their ‘lung-on-a-chip’ can mimic pulmonary edema, a life-threatening lung condition characterised by fluid and blood clots in the lungs. The scientists have reported that this technology can aid medical research and help identify potential new therapies. The chip may reduce the need for animal testing in the future.

‘Major pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of time and a huge amount of money on cell cultures and animal testing to develop new drugs. But these methods often fail to predict the effects of these agents when they reach humans,’ says Donald Ingber, founding director of the Wyss Institute and senior author of the study.
The lung-on-a-chip device is a clear, flexible block of silicone rubber with two tiny channels separated by a thin membrane. One channel is lined with human lung cells through which air flows; the other channel is lined with blood-vessel cells through which a blood substitute fluid flows. The channels are moved by a vacuum to re-create the way human lung tissues expand and contract when breathing.
The researchers injected a cancer chemotherapy drug interleukin-2 (IL-2) into the blood-vessel-like channel. The fluid and blood plasma proteins leaked across the membrane into the air channel, similar to the drug’s side effect in patients.
But one result that came as a surprise was that when the vacuum attached to the chip was turned on to simulate breathing, fluid leakage increased more than three-fold suggesting that breathing may make the condition worse. The pulmonary edema symptoms in the lung-on-a-chip disease model could be prevented by treating the tissues with TRPV4 channel blocker, a new class of drug being developed by GlaxoSmithKline.

Finger powered mobile phone battery charger
A mobile battery that could be charged by spinning it around your fingers .
![[Image: 5z4sU.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/5z4sU.jpg)
The concept design promises quick charging in places where a wall socket is not available to charge your mobile phone. Based on the specs presented, it requires you to rotate the device approximately 130 times to get enough power to make a call for about 2 minutes.
![[Image: cfdPz.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/cfdPz.jpg)
At standby, the juice generated from revolving the battery could last for around 25 minutes.
Although there's a little flaw in the calculations of power generated, this finger powered
mobile phone battery charger is a possible green solution to minimize usage of electricity and could revolutionize mobile phones and other similar gadgets that requires battery for power.
