There's some authentic Bosnian language, especially for you. And the best part is - I'm one of those Bosnians who don't give a flying fuck how you call the Bosnian national language. I just don't like cowardly trolls.

The adapted phones may be used for screening in places far from hospitals, technicians or diagnostic laboratories, Dr. Ozcan said.
"Right now you need a microscope, and you need trained people," Dr. Bryson said. "But this device would allow you to work without either in a remote area. "
M. Fatih Yanik, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said, "This makes it possible for ordinary people to gather medical information in the field just by using a cellphone adapted with cheap parts."
Cellphones tend to be pocket-sized and easily replaceable if lost or damaged. FAR easier than that used equipment you refer to. Older equipment from the "first world" is bulky, difficult to service and repair, and needs actual experts to work it. Often, it also needs specific work conditions (such as certain flavor of electricity) not readily available "in the field".
Also, it is rather hard to write software for those old optical/mechanical devices you mention. Which is kinda important, since it is the software that does the pathogen detection in these mobile-phone-microscopes. And that greatly reduces those training costs you mention.
Not while there are anti-anxiety drugs out there. What you will detect is a bunch of false positives that will keep you busy "detecting" while trucks loaded with bags of ammonium-nitrate explosive merrily (but calmly) pass you by.
The 'laws of physics' are great tools for critical thinking.
No they are not. They are laws pertaining to a specific case. That is why there is so many of them. You base the UNDERSTANDING of the second law of thermodynamics on the fact that the ice melts and that the hot tea cools - you CALCULATE how that will happen based on the said law (and other things).
That "Numb3rs" crap where they pull out an applicable math theory every time they find a body on the beech - that shit only works on TV. Also, applied logic is a much "lower level language" and far more practical for future journalists as it pertains to ALL FIELDS of human (and other) work, thoughts, emotions just as it does to the laws of nature. Computers work on logic - but so do human relationships.
Mind you, I said "critical thinking and logic" - not Logic 101 or whatever the name of the course may be. Simply cramming theories and names of philosophers is utterly useless - unless you are prepping for "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".
Adding a real math/science requirement would prevent the morons from becoming reporters.
No it would not. Math and sciences are simply learnable skills. More often than not, like all courses, they come down to memorizing and repeating. Something "morons" are as good at as most, often even better. Memorize rules, memorize formulae, apply to current assignment. Repeat step 3 until you can complete assignment in the given time frame.
The reason doctors are required to take physics is that it is a great washout tool for medical programs.
God do I hope that you never get to teach. Or decide other people's fate in any way.
Physics, like any other course IN ANY FIELD OF STUDY, is taken in order to TEACH THE STUDENT physics. NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT in order to flunk those who "don't understand it" or "think that they don't need it" or "don't like it". Both human body AND nearly all tools doctors use to treat and heal patients work based on the laws of physics and chemistry. And I am not talking MRI here - simply measuring blood pressure and temperature requires SOME understanding of physics of the matter. You don't need to know the equation for the ideal gas law to take someones blood pressure but you sure as hell need to know that you are dealing with pressures there and what kind of pressures those are. E.g. stress can be result of pressure but that is not the kind of pressure you measure with a blood pressure meter - though stress has an effect on the blood pressure.
You know... You need physics simply to understand what the further medical books are talking about and referring to.
Many med students are great memorize and regurgitators, but lack the smarts to understand physics.
Many Comp. Sci. students are even dumber. And don't make me start on Math. students. Most those guys are down right one-trick pony idiot savants - above average with numbers, complete fuckups in everything else.
And like I said - you don't need "smarts" to pass exams. You need tenacity. Sure, smarts helps but it all comes down to that old Edison's maxim "10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration". Dumbest fuck on the planet with a strong enough desire or ego to drive him/her will pass ANY exam sooner and with better grades than most "smart" people.
My dad taught 'med school physics' for a solid decade, he personally prevented dozens of idiots from becoming doctors. 'You all memorize most of your classes, to get an A in this class you need to understand and be able to apply.
Ask your dad did he ever, in those 10 years, met a student that had understanding of the subject but had poor grades on the exams due to errors in calculation or due to lack of knowledge of the course material. E.g. someone who knows how a microscope works and und
First of all, what do you think releases more heat through its metabolism. A meadow or an automobile factory?
As for the effect these bio-engineered flowers have... Think sprinklers. That require no power source but the water they are fed and ground they are planted into. Plus, they look like pretty flowers.
An organized walk-out in order to sabotage the council.
They can't or won't fix the things they are responsible for - so they stage a walkout and blame it all on the opposition coming from a vocal minority. Being called "clowns" and "nazis" is hardly a cause for "Businessman Mr Canvin, 61" to storm out cause he is "not going to tolerate it when [he's] working for the town."
Journalists don't need to know EVERY THING in the world to be able to write or report about it. What they DO NEED though is critical thinking and logic.
You don't need math and physics to tell you that perpetual motion machine is someone's pipe dream or a hoax - logic should be enough (you put 4 cookies in the box, you get 4 cookies or less out of the box tomorrow).
That same logic should tell you that if you are going to write on a subject that you don't have a degree or years of experience in (stuff that makes you the resident expert on said subject) - you should research it first. Read some books on the subject, talk to some actual experts, etc.
And one thing that they should MOST CERTAINLY take with them is that they should report FACTS - not opinions. Leave those to the experts and bloggers. That way they can report the local man's CLAIM to have created the perpetual motion machine as a strait story without it being contradictory to the facts or science.
...equalize organic matter (as in the organic matter from plants and animals found in the soil) with organic compounds (as in anything from amino-acids to plastic)? You do know that there is a SIGNIFICANT difference between those two?
Or do you usually go to your local store to get some ham and cheese and instead you return home with a tractor tire and some axle grease? I mean... Considering that apparently it is the same thing to you. Something coming out of a tractor exhaust - and something coming from an exhaust belonging to a pig or a sheep.
And if you're a journalism major, strongly consider switching.
If anything, current media sorely lacks qualified and educated journalists. You know... people who actually studied ethics, writing, reporting, investigating etc.
Not people who climbed the social/corporate ladder based on the whiteness of their teeth and strength of their elbows (and/or knees). Nor the people who believe that the Twitter is a viable tool for journalist reports or even an article or debate.
Because main distinction (and a requirement) of a jock is his physical shape and build, while the main distinction of a nerd is always intellectual.
There is no natural law that prohibits physically endowed humans to also have intellectual tendencies - just look at Dolph Lundgren. But, as the requirement to be a jock is physical, someone born with a nerd body can't just say "Hell... I'll start doing sports too."
That is why Biff Tannen and his progeny (and ancestors) remain jocks (and bullies) in all incarnations and time-lines - while George McFly and his remain nerds.

Those things already look like they are made of teeth. Endless rows of teeth that devour the world.
a stone tablet containing 5 alternate commandments was excavated in the Iraqi desert today
So what?
You'll find more tablets on any stoner. No need to go to Iraq for that. Or the condiments.
It is not Boogarian, but Bulgarian*.
Something along the lines of... "Put two planks under the tires, get two martians to push and then floor it."
*IANAB, nor do I speak Bulgarian but it is quite similar to other Slavic languages, including Bosnian - which I do speak.
Whoever put this up is a super-villain.

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
