Earlier today I made a reference to “Backstroke of the West”, and when I looked it up I saw that the original post was made in 2005, which means that a good chunk of people on here might be too young to remember it. So consider this post a public service.
i saw revenge of the sith last weekend at a local theater with my friend joe who was in town on business. it was much better than the first two movies and a fitting end (err.. middle) to the star wars saga.
the next day i was walking past my friendly dvd salesperson and decided to check out revenge of the sith. i was assured the quality was good and for 7rmb why not give it a shot.
aside from the counters on the top of the screen and a distorted perspective it was ok- not high quality but watchable. the captions were a hilarious surprise- a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of what the script was saying. it varied from being somewhat close to the script to being ‘far far away’….
amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.
star war (just one)
‘the backstroke of the west’ is the english translation of the chinese title.

Dissolvable silicon electronic sensors for the brain
A research team at the University of Illinois led by professor John Rogers has created a self-dissolvable sensor that could be implanted in the brain, the heart, in the skin or around other organs. The sensor monitors temperature and pressure and completely disappears within a few weeks. It can also be adapted to sense fluid flow, motion, pH, and other parameters.

Joe and Shirley Love, both 60, have lived in Flint for years and felt the effects of the water crisis firsthand. “I started having trouble with this right eye,” Shirley Love told Mic. “When I get something in my
eye, I splash it with a face bowl of water. I do that all the time. But
now my eye itches, it hurts, it’s blurry.”
