When this doctoral student from the Labo- ratory of Applied Mechanobiology removed the hydrogel samples he was using for his cell studies from the refrigerator and examined them un- der the microscope, they “burst into bloom”. Some of them had dried out by accident and he was greeted by various micro-flowers around fifty micro-metres in diameter. As soon as he watered the polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel again, however, it re- turned to its original flat form in the blink of an eye. Having grown curious, the ETH Zurich scientist attempted to create the same flowers with other dried- out hydrogels, but to no avail. Only PEGs with a high molecular weight sprouted the peculiar flowers, the reddish colour of which is actually down to the microscope filter. Although the image has no scien- tific use, it is certainly pretty to look at – which is why Hosseini entered it in the photography competition at ETH Zurich’s Materials Research Centre. While it was not chosen as the win- ning photo by the judging panel, the Globe editorial team didn’t have to think twice before selecting it for this issue’s Flashlight. www.appliedmechanobio.ethz.ch ➔ 6 7 No. 4, December 2013 Ticker Therapy module consists of several biological components of the human organism, Feeling happy which are combined to form an artifi- cial signal cascade.

    The Best Songs, Records, and Bands Transport You Back to the First Moment You Heard Them Each and Every Time They Play

    The best songs, records, and bands transport you back to the first moment you heard them each and every time they play. Whether you caught a house party gig after Better Than Ezra formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University, heard “Good” on the radio once it hit #1 during 1995, became a fan following Taylor Swift’s famous cover of “Breathless” in 2010, or saw them headlining sheds in 2018, you most likely never forgot that initial introduction to the New Orleans quartet founded by Kevin Griffin [lead vocals, guitar, piano] and Tom Drummond [bass, backing vocals]. Those hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics quietly cemented the group as an enduring force in rock music. How many acts can boast being the inspiration of a classic Saturday Night Live skit? Very few. Speaking of incredible accomplishments, they occupy rarified air with spots on Billboard’s “100 Greatest Alternative Songs of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” as of 2018. Additionally, 2018 also marked 25 years since the arrival of the breakthrough album Deluxe. Maintaining a steady pace forward, the new single “GRATEFUL” garnered acclaim from Billboard who praised its “highly commercial, anthemic sheen that certainly pairs nicely with the approach of Deluxe.” The story of Better Than Ezra began before the nineties explosion they remain so often associated with ever even happened. Griffin and Drummond comprised the core of the band at its onset as they hit the road and won over one fan at a time beginning in 1989. This fan base would go on to be known as “Ezralites” by the time the first pressing of Deluxe landed independently in 1993.

Dedication This story is especially dedicated to Professor Robert Pope a man who has dedicated his life to the betterment of humanity and who has stood against the tyranny of 'second law physics' which has speeded up the entropic process in human society. Entropicus Book 1: The Mastery of Alchemy Preface Lamos knew he was exposing himself, putting himself at grave risk, but he had to move in closer, despite it being the full moon. The loud chanting of "DIABOLUS, DIABOLUS, DIABOLUS," rang through the grove. The erotic dancing of drunken lascivious women mixed with the yelps and whistles of masked menfolk. As he edged closer, he clasped his pendant close to his heart, entreating Ma'at to protect him, to deliver him from the madness.

    HARPERFESTIVAL Little Fur Family Board Book Margaret Wise Brown, Garth Williams Summary Generations of children have been cuddling up with the Little Fur Family since its debut in 1946. This classic tale of “a little fur family warm as toast, smaller than most,” who lived in “a warm wooden tree,” has comforted countless toddlers. Fifty-eight years after its original publication, Margaret Wise Brown’s gentle words, paired with Garth Williams’s soft illustrations, remain as popular as ever. This board book has a furry die-cut, perfect for little hands to stroke and adore.

Jean Leroy, Matthieu Maudet Summary This simple, fun board book has plenty of attitude and begs to be read aloud. The toes can't decide on a common theme for their names—one prefers the alphabet, while another toe loves numbers. Each toe introduces a concept (musical notes, colors, and even fruit!) and teaches that each individual toe has its own likes and dislikes, but can still compromise in the end.
