  4. HAHAHA! It's a monk from a 600 years old monastery
  5. Same here, just a JS/Ajax error, ignore it until fixed, works fine after closing it
  6. That's exactly what I said, because that's the source I used too. All it does is prove your original picture wrong still. He did not discover insulin in 1922. Simple as that. Can't follow your logic, sorry... By the time Banting also isolated insulin, Paulescu already held a patent for his discovery and he was the first to secure the patent rights for his method of manufacturing pancreine/insulin (April 10, 1922, patent no. 6254 (8322) "Pancreina şi procedeul fabricaţiei ei"/"Pancrein and the process of making it"
  7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin Nicolae Paulescu, a Romanian professor of physiology at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bucharest, was the first to isolate insulin, in 1916, which he called at that time, pancrein, by developing an aqueous pancreatic extract which, when injected into a diabetic dog, proved to have a normalizing effect on blood sugar levels. He had to interrupt his experiments because the World War I and in 1921 he wrote four papers about his work carried out in Bucharest and his tests on a diabetic dog. Later that year, he detailed his work by publishing an extensive whitepaper on the effect of the pancreatic extract injected into a diabetic animal, which he called: "Research on the Role of the Pancreas in Food Assimilation" [36][37]. Only 8 months later, the discoveries he published were copied (or, as some say, confirmed) by doctor Frederick Grant Banting and biochemist John James Rickard Macleod, who were later awarded the Nobel prize for the discovery of insulin in 1923, which Paulescu discovered as early as 1916. By the time Banting also isolated insulin, Paulescu already held a patent for his discovery and he was the first to secure the patent rights for his method of manufacturing pancreine/insulin (April 10, 1922, patent no. 6254 (8322) "Pancreina ÅŸi procedeul fabricaÅ£iei ei"/"Pancrein and the process of making it", from the Romanian Ministry of Industry and Trade). Moreover, Banting was very familiar with Paulescu’s work, he even used Paulescu’s “Research on the Role of the Pancreas in Food Assimilation†as reference in the paper that brought him the Nobel [38]. Paulescu Controversy It is often said that the cause for not being recognised as the true discoverer of insulin is because he expressed antisemitic and anti-masonic views. In 2003, following protests from several Jewish organizations, the inauguration of his bust at the Hôtel-Dieu State Hospital in Paris, scheduled for August 27, was cancelled. Also, the French Minister of Health, stated that all his scientific merit must be nullified because of his "brutal inhumanity" of expressing anti-Jewish views. In 2005, the Executive Board of the International Diabetes Federation decided that "the institute does not be associated with Nicolae Paulescu" because of his anti-semitic views and that "there would be no Paulescu Lecture at World Diabetes Congresses should such a request be receivedâ€, all his other lectures, or related to him, were banned. He was also the first individual to use insulin to reduce blood sugar in a mammal, carrying out a series of treatments on diabetics animals and recording its efficacy when injected.[39
  8. I'm not an expert in engines, but this is publicly available on the internet: The Coanda-1910 was amazingly ahead of it's time, with steel construction used in the wings, mobile surfaces placed ahead of the wings leading edges to increase lift, all fuel and lubricants placed in the upper wing and above all the engine. His engine the "Air-Reactive Engine", comprised of a four cylinder, 50 hp, water cooled Clerget piston engine connected to a gearbox, then to a compressor which rotated at 4,000 rpm. In front of the compressor a device much like the iris of a camera (called by Henri Coanda a obturator) controlled the amount of air entering the compressor. The air went from the compressor to "Burning Rooms" (combustion-chambers of a ring like section which were fitted ether side of the fuselage) were the exhaust from the piston engine and fuel were added and ignited, the resulting very hot and expanding exhaust exited through tubes and down the steel-sheeted sides of the aeroplane producing the thrust. The aeroplane was on display in October 1910 at the Second International Aeronautical Exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris were it caused a great deal of interest and crowds as no one had seen any thing like it before (nor would they for another thirty years!). After the Exhibition closed on the 10th of December 1910, Henri Coanda moved his aeroplane to Issy-Les-Moulineaux, were he intended to test the engine, the results of which are best told by Henri Coanda himself: "It was on 16 December 1910. I had no intention of flying on that day. My plan was to check the operation of the engine on the ground but the heat of the jet blast coming back at me was greater than I expected and I was worried in case I set the aeroplane on fire. For this reason I concentrated on adjusting the jet and did not realize that the aircraft was rapidly gaining speed. Then I looked up and saw the walls of Paris approaching rapidly. There was no time to stop or turn round and I decided to try and fly instead. Unfortunately I had no experience of flying and was not used to the controls of the aeroplane. The aeroplane seemed to make a sudden steep climb and then landed with a bump. First the left wing hit the ground and then the aircraft crumpled up. I was not strapped in and so was fortunately thrown clear of the burning machine". How ever after this (the FIRST flight of a jet powered aeroplane) Henri Coanda could not find financial backing to progress with his invention. Gustava Eiffel remarked of Henri Coanda "This boy should have been born thirty years later" More technical stuff available here: http://www.rexresearch.com/coanda/1coanda.htm
  9. He hasn't had a pleasant end, 50 years of communism that ruined Romania... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Last-Hundred-Da ... 1854115413
  10. Just out of curiosity, how many of you have heard about these guys bellow?
  11. Oh, how I missed you, I thought you never going to say that! I was so agitated and worried, but now I'm very relaxed, thanks to you! You are God's gift to me! Tell me more!
  12. Only if you give me the link on Nissan website where it says how to wash my 350z... Seriously now, this thread is becoming ridiculous, I can take NO for an answer. You can delete de topic, sorry for requesting such "advanced" feature. Thanks for your time.
  13. Lexx, no disrespect mate, but I thought you said you're not that technical, it wouldn't make any difference for you, would it? I'm sure that the guys that have installed and maintain this forum know what I'm talking about, it's extremely clear and plain html code, doesn't have to be from "somewhere", it's from me, it's basic code...
  14. Something must be wrong on here, specially if it comes from an admin!! If ebay.co.uk has random unknow flash then my name is Bill Gates. Way to much paranoia IMHO.... It's plain and simple code, even my daughter can read it Why does it have to be copied from somewhere, disrespecting me??
  15. Well, it was adressed to the admins, as they have the permission/rights to add more BBCodes. Anyway, it is meant to generate ebay item preview, just like youtube videos in here, showing price, details, etc before clicking on it. Hope it makes sense!
  16. It is a polite request, I did say "could you" and "please", did not say: "DO THIS, NOW!" Please relax a bit Lexx, it's Saturday, why are you in war mode?
  17. Guys, could you please implement this on the ACP/Posting/BBCodes? BBCode usage: [ebay]{NUMBER}[/ebay] HTML replacement: Help line: [ebay]Ebay item number[/ebay] Thanks!
