3D Printed Cast Heals Nearly Twice As Fast

3D Printed Cast Heals Nearly Twice As Fast

A new cast cooked up by Deniz Karasahin of Turkey could heal broken bones 40 to 80 percent faster reports Techcrunch.com

The cast uses ultra-sonic vibrations, a proven therapy but not widespread  since the vibrations couldn’t penetrate the traditional plaster cast.

Using 3D printing technology — that’s where a computer images are sent to  devices for molding with plastics and other material rather than merely appearing as ink on paper — Karasahin has created a cast that would keep the bone in place while allowing ultra-sonic drivers to be placed directly on the skin.

Kudos Karasahin.

FATCA Continues Obama Quest To End US Influcence

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or FACTCA took effect July 1 after a six-month delay and is the latest ploy by Barack Obama to destroy American influence.

The law was passed in 2010 when the Democrats ran everything and requires every bank in the world to enter into a sharing agreement with the IRS.

The convoluted paper-work laden law requires banks that are in compliance to withhold the 30 percent tax on any funds transferred with banks that are not in compliance or risk the withholding tax penalty themselves.

The idea was to stop those sheltering their money overseas.

The consequence, however, is that foreign banks are starting to refuse the business of the seven million Americans who live abroad and that these Americans are giving up their citizenship in unprecedented numbers.

We fear it is but a matter of time that the dollar loses its status as the world’s back up currency.

Sarah Palin is absolutely right. Obama should be impeached as soon as possible.
