Technology has the power to do many things, and changing the world is one of them. We should be grateful for the privilege to live in an era like this one, where science and technology can help make our lives easier. In this article, I am going to show some of the incredible futuristic technologies that scientists are creating. Some of them are designed for comfort, others for our health. Here is the list of technologies that will change our lives forever. Palms and Fingers Scanned There are predictions that in 2050 we are going to be able to implant scanners into our hands. How is this going to work? Well there are two different types of scanners. One of them is the daily use scanner that helps us read tags and product codes and to exchange digital business cards via the handshake ritual (like face recognition but with our hands). The second type of scanner is more sophisticated. This scanner is for professional people like a doctor. The scanners that the doctors are going to have are going to include various medical sensors for diagnostics and even a portable endoscope with a direct video stream to the doctor’s visual cortex. Heart Monitoring T-Shirts This shirt is going to help you know how many calories you lost and is going to monitor your heart. This shirt is made out of smart materials and manufactured by a company called KYMIRA. The way that the shirt is going to send the information is going to be by Bluetooth. Algorithms process the data to accurately detect irregular heartbeats such as arrhythmia heart beats, which could prove lifesaving. Not only athletes are going to be able to use this shirt, the owner of a company wants everyone to have access to this shirt. He wants them to be in clinics in hospitals, in a normal house so that people with heart problems can live without worrying too much on their heart condition. Personalizing Cancer Vaccines Cancer is caused by genetic mutations that transform healthy cells into tumor cells. These mutations are usually in the therapy center but are extremely hard to treat because they can be different in each individual tumor. “Mutations are random. If you look at one patient’s tumor and compare it to another patient’s, it would be highly unlikely that there will be a match;” that’s what CBO and CCO of German immuno-oncology company BioNTech said. BioNTech is developing vaccines that are created for each individual tumor.

Front the start, Roxbury Latin provided a comprehensive master plan illustrating all proposed improvements (including horizontal projects such as athletic fields), even those not typically subject to Small Project Review. This path was intended to signal a collaborative and transparent approach to the design review process, and to further that goal, the school has engaged in an equally comprehensive dialogue with residents. The enclosed documents represent the culmination of this significant design work and the numerous concessions offered by the school. When we heard concerns around drainage, we designed systems that will not only accommodate our proposal, but also improve existing conditions. When we heard concerns about proximity, we increased setbacks well beyond the requirements set forth by Article 56 (approximately 50 percent for the IAF, 500 percent for buffer associated with the proposed parking areas, and up to 200’ at the Quail St. tennis location). In fact, the location of the proposed facilities and the associated design comply with all uses and dimensional requirements set forth in Article 56.

  • Celebrating 125 Years!
    The TI Legend The Tiger Inn Newsletter Spring, 2016 Celebrating 125 years! On February 20, 2016 over 200 Tiger Inn alumni, partners, and spouses came to celebrate TI’s 125th anniversary at the Westin in Princeton. Members arrived from up and down the eastern seaboard and represented sections from 1949 through 2015. John Bernard ‘49 was the oldest alumnus and outgoing President Grace Larson ‘16 and Vice President Cole Lampman’ 16 were the youngest in attendance. During Hap Copper’s ‘83 welcome remarks, a spontaneous contest of TI chants broke out among the younger and older alumni. The energy in the room became palable as a chant came from one side of the room and then the other, both different but the same in the strong feelings for Tiger Inn. Dinner and dancing followed. The music of The East Coast Band and a cameo appearance of The Blues Brothers got people on thier feet and the dance floor was rocking.The evening finished back at Tger Inn as buses shuttled people back and forth from the hotel to the club, and back again. Tiger Inn was open and on-tap for current members, alumni, and guests to celebrate TI’s 125th annivsary. Pictures of the event are available at: www.tigerinn.net/ti-125th.html Tiger Inn Members Class of 2017 & 2018 Name High School Attended Name High School Attended Allen, Ayla Daniel Pearl Magnet High School Keating, Grant The Roxbury Latin School Allen, Olivia Loyola School King, Pauli Menlo-Atherton H S Anderson, Rye Princeton High School Knowles, Zachary Columbia HS Andrew, Billy Brophy College Preparatory Kopra,

    Strategic School Leadership (A Quick Introduction Before Our Website Goes Live) About Us o We are experienced school heads who work closely with school leaders – heads of schools, administrators, and governing boards – and we serve these leaders in the interest of creating places where teachers can flourish in their life work and students are inspired to learn. We advise governing boards about a range of crucial issues, including the qualities necessary for school leadership, but we do not conduct school head searches. Instead we focus on the school itself. We mentor school leaders, counsel leadership teams, and help boards think about how they can be most effective, from setting agendas to strategic thinking and to governance. What We Do o Mentoring the Head of School o The Head and the Administrative Team: Team-Building, Strategy, Problem Solving o Board Governance o Board Strategic Thinking o Board Retreats o School Mission and Market Who We Are o Rick Melvoin.
