In terms of the volume of nanomedicine research
and biology—issues that are of vital importance for contemporary societies
The field’s global market share totalled some $78 billion dollars in 2012
the market is expected to grow to nearly $200 billion
Nanomedicine derives much of its rhetorical, technological, and scientific strength from the scale on which it operates (1 to 100 nm), the size of molecules and biochemical functions
published Nanomedicine: Basic Capabilities
the first of two volumes he dedicated to the subject
that range from complicated drugs to the above mentioned nanobots
there is a general agreement that nanomedicine entails the application of nanotechnology in medicine and that it will profoundly impact medical practice
A further topic of debate is nanomedicine’s genealogy, in particular its connections to molecular medicine and nanotechnology. The case of nanotechnology is exemplary: on one hand, its potential—in terms of science but also in regard to funding and recognition—is often mobilized by nanomedicine proponents; on the other
there is an attempt to distance nanomedicine from nanotechnology
for fear of being damaged by the perceived “hype” that surrounds it
The push is then for nanomedicine to emerge not as a subdiscipline of nanotechnology but as a parallel field
Although nanomedicine research and development is actively pursued in numerous countries, the United States, the EU (particularly Germany), and Japan have made significant contributions from the field’s outset. This is reflected both in the number of articles published and in that of patents filed
both of which have grown exponentially since 2004
nanomedicine research in China grew with respect to publications in the field
and the country ranked second only to the United States in the number of research articles published
Such work has also been heavily funded by the private sector
A study led by the European Science and Technology Observatory found that over 200 European companies were researching and developing nanomedicine applications
many of which were coordinating their efforts
Work in novel therapeutics and drug delivery systems strives to develop and design nanoparticles and nanostructures that are noninvasive and can target specific diseases
Allied with very precise means for diagnosis
these drug delivery systems would enable equally precise site-specific therapeutics and fewer side effects
The area of drug delivery accounts for a large portion of nanomedicine’s scientific publications

that doesn’t mean that we cannot have some normality around here once in a while
it is something of news to have “normality in the Segunda Liga” at least one weekend
Tondela drew their match against Académico in the Beiras derby
That draw made it that the first ten teams on the table (from Académico in 10th to Tondela in 1st place) are only separated by nine points
Penafiel got back to winning ways with a convincing win against Portimonense
The battle for immediate promotion (top two places) is absolutely on fire with Alverca in third place with 39 points
Penafiel in second with 40 and Tondela are leaders with 41 points
everything went back to normal as well: FC Porto B lost again
and now on the verge of getting relegated to the third tier
Oliveirense and Mafra are not very interested in getting out of the relegation zone as all of them lost their respective matches
Feirense is now the in-form team of the competition
Four wins in a row puts them only four points short of the promotion spots
That is exactly what happened with the Fogaceiros
While they were playing good tactical football
they were crying about how unlucky they were
They left the tactics a bit aside and started playing with hate in their eyes

British entries were conspicuous by their absence after failing to clear import controls
On Friday, 240 experts from 40 countries descended on Viseu in northern Portugal for the World Cheese Awards
with a washed-rind raw sheep’s milk cheese from the host country
the British contingent noticed something strange: gaps on several of the tables
and were robbed of the chance to compete with the world’s best
Occasionally some countries’ cheeses don’t make it, said John Farrand, director of the Guild of Fine Food
But Farrand added the Guild is granted a special licence each year to import cheeses
and British cheesemakers complied with all the conditions
View image in fullscreenJudging the cheeses
Photograph: Paulo Fernandes/Guild of Fine FoodOn Friday morning
it became apparent that the cheeses hadn’t been cleared
even on Friday we were still fighting to get some clarity and clear instruction on what wasn’t right
but we had no success,” Farrand told the Observer yesterday
Up to 252 cheeses from 67 makers may have been affected
Judge James Grant, co-founder of the Real Cheese Project, said: “It’s really devastating. The UK’s going through an incredible change as far as cheese is going. There’s an incredible amount of hard work from these cheesemakers who are putting handmade artisan cheese back on the map. It’s really, really sad.”
Quicke added she was “so sad that many English cheeses, including ours, were not able to be judged alongside our international counterparts, but I am not entirely surprised.”
For Grant, it wasn’t just that Britain’s cheeses weren’t able to receive any medals – one or two often make the top 10, and a British cheese called Cornish kern last won in 2017. But each of the 4,786 cheeses judged receives feedback, giving makers a chance to learn and improve their product.
Read more“Hundreds of British cheesemakers have worked so hard and are so proud of what they do.” Grant added that the World Cheese Awards can “turn people’s lives around,” and predicted the Portuguese winner’s life would “change overnight.” For the cheesemakers to “receive a blow like this within hours of the largest cheese competition about to open was a hammer blow not only for British cheese
part of the team behind yarlington and rollright
was “very disappointed” they couldn’t compete
“What it really shows is that it’s very hard to export cheese post Brexit
The Guild will have done everything in their power to make it happen
but if someone at the border decides something isn’t quite right
“We are really disappointed to not compete but it raises the more important question of what kind of damage are export controls with our nearest trading partner doing to our industry?”

will be held for the first time in Portugal
“Over the three days there will be thousands of cheeses
wines and regional products to taste with a ‘cheese summit’ and a gastronomic festival open to the general public and free of charge,” the organisation said in a statement
hosts the first edition in Portugal of the international cheese competition
“Viseu will be the stage for a historic edition
receiving the largest Portuguese delegation of all time
with 182 cheeses in the race for the “Oscar do Queijo” and around 100 stands from national producers at Tenda Viseu”
“fans and connoisseurs” of cheese have the opportunity to “taste some of the best and most exclusive examples”
from 47 countries that will be subject to the “demanding jury made up of more than around 250 experts from 40 nationalities”
According to the person responsible and promoter of the event in Portugal
it is also an opportunity to “discover and get to know up close the national and regional producers that make Portugal so proud
“And they project Portuguese cheeses across borders every day
in a tribute to the incredible and incomparable legacy of cheese production in the different regions of the country”
“Including the World Cheese Awards super jury
who will decide which cheese is the World Champion in a live cheese evaluation”
The weekend features several activities around cheese
which include tastings of a selection of cheeses accompanied by a member of the jury
the WCA 2024 Arena has 2,400 square meters for the “largest world cheese competition”
which includes the awards ceremony and also a “super ‘gold’ space reserved for the 20 best cheeses in the world”

Reaching over 400,000 people a week with news about Portugal
travelogue host Rick Steves skipped by Staunton’s international Sister City
The jovial PBS “Europhile” just missed out on the Viseu de Sus experience
Should you ever cover the 4,870 miles that separate Staunton from its “sister," consider these four tips for your stay:
Ride the scenic excursion train that follows a winding track from the downtown station up into the Carpathian Mountains
Stop by city hall to shake the mayor’s hand
Pause at the town’s monument to a local hero
who was laid to rest in Staunton’s soil.
Queen City road signage placed along major entrance arteries touts two international connections: a “sister city,” in Romania
an “international partner," in Dabas
It’s fair to say that these laudable agreements to promote peace are more symbolic than communicative practices
and political priorities change….
for the past two decades while passing local signs of transatlantic outreach
Family ties elsewhere in Romania fostered an extra pull to visit our semi-estranged sibling city
is located in the mountainous northwestern corner of Romania near the border with Ukraine
Shortly after we moved to Staunton in 2000
I began making requests of my Romanian in-laws that we visit Viseu de Sus during a reunion trip
always had other sightseeing plans. These involved relatives in distant cities
and pilgrimages to 16th century monasteries and churches
This latest visit highpoint was worth the overnight train ride — “Humor Monastery.” It’s a reflective rather than comic destination
“The Merry Cemetery” a few hours drive away is funnier.
Humor Monastery is one of many stunningly decorated churches in the Moldovenesc region of Romania
Frescos attesting to the history and heroes of the faith cover virtually all of the exterior and interior of the monastery’s half millennia old church
A defensive tower within the walls of the nun’s monastery provides a lofty vantage from which to view the spiritual retreat and the landscape beyond
that orthodox renunciate community is only a three-hour drive from Viseu de Sus
challenging stretch of road led us off to Viseu de Sus
To reach the site we cruised over a newly reconstructed highway through a portion of Transylvanian
which means “across forests." Highway 18 hugs streams and rivers
climbs steep passes — some topped by monasteries (naturally)
The modernized road is emblematic of vast infrastructure overhaul taking place throughout Romania
The improvements in quality of life for its 19.4 million citizens have been steady since the country joined the European Union in 2007
Growth of the upper middle class is impressive
Despite political scandals (theirs pale in comparison with ours)
people express more confidence in “the system” than I’ve seen over the past two decades
plenty of problems in Romania: a high poverty rate, a brain drain of well-educated young adults
A few elders still wax nostalgic for the former authoritarian regime
which fell to a revolution 30 years ago this coming Dec
tourism had begun to gain a foothold in Viseu de Sus
That community signed an international sister city agreement with Staunton in October 1999
Viseu also established sister city relationships with Furstenfeld
Agnes Skurka greeted us warmly in Viseu de Sus
Her family operates a pensieunea near the confluence of the Vaser and Viseu rivers (“de Sus” means of the south
The village of Viseu de Nord is a few kilometers upriver)
and beer garden operated by the Skurkas is a 10-minute walk from Viseu’s downtown center
Yet the location — at the end of an undeveloped lane
and within sight and sound of rushing water — gave us the sense of entering a rural retreat
They served us a traditional dinner in copious
Romanians eat and drink healthier and tastier than most Americans
devoured a two-platter order consisting of grilled pork schnitzel
collectively called ‘The Mocanita.”
The order was a feast worthy of a lumberjack
a practicing 85-year-old research scientist
we boarded the town’s principle tourism attraction — The Mocanita.
which was built to haul timber from the mountains rather than floating logs down swollen rivers
is now a very lucrative 6-hour pleasure trip for visitors. Train lovers and nature sight seers fill the cars
The experience is a bargain: $20 for the ride
an extra $10 for a hearty lunch provided a picnic ground terminus
the antique steam engines pull rustic passenger cars up the Vaser Valley
Sunshine and a cool blue sky give the green mountain tops crisp definition
lumberjacks stack timber for later transport to mills.
Less romantic trains that run on line burning fossil fuel do the heavy lifting for the forest industry’s needs
The “Mo-chan-eat-za” tourist express employs 1,000 during peak season

Valise Coman was elected in 2012 (if I correctly read the signage in front of city hall.) He leads a municipality spread over more than 170 square miles
the vast majority of it forested mountainside
Citizens (“Viseuvians” has a nice ring…) live in the river valley floor
It serves as the primary commercial corridor
was more hurried and heavier than I’d expected
Viseu’s downtown includes several recently constructed “box" stores
Most of the older storefronts appeared to have had recent paint jobs
The construction underway of a substantial addition to the hospital is a point of civic pride.
Mayor Valise Coman had smiles and a time for a chat with everyone who asked a question
He’s very definitely a public figure.
Coman owns a manufacturing facility that employs a couple of hundred workers
He also has invested personal resources into the community’s development.

Perhaps most noticeably is the traditional homestead complex next to the train station
it resembles the American Frontier Culture Museum
Historic buildings were transferred to this site to preserve them
and to create a venue for cultural education and community celebration.
While giving us a lift after our Mochanita excursion
the mayor answered questions about the city’s connection with Staunton
He remarked that we were the second visitors in the past year who came from the Queen City year to hop the train
“I am very happy to have visitors from our sister city in America
“We appreciate it when people from Staunton initiate contact.
“It is very beneficial to learn from each other’s experiences — cultural
but we are very interested in creating broader development for the community.”
We discussed the similarities between the Staunton and Viseu de Sis: proximity to national parks and forests
commercial hubs and vital downtowns that serve surrounding agricultural industries
The Viseu de Sus farmers’ market dwarfs Staunton’s
Coman noted that he has visited and maintains contact with Viseu’s European sister cities
and provide insight about best practices for communities
to receive and host officials from Staunton
or to receive an invitation to visit here and the Shenandoah Valley
the mayor led us to a city memorial for Nicolae Lunca (1837-1862)
Army captain’s actual tombstone sits near the flagpole in the National Cemetery on Richmond Road in Staunton
chose to cross the Atlantic to end slavery
his bust is a focal point on our sister city’s main street
A portion of the inscription carved in black stone reads: “(A) symbol of the sacrifice for human unity and dignity
(he) died heroically in the American Civil War at Cross-Keys
…and is buried in the Heroes National Cemetery of the city of Staunton

A flight from Viseu to Portimão via Cascais
joining a solitary passenger who was already on board
The last time I’d been on a Dornier 228 was in the Caribbean
The signature components felt so familiar: the door for passengers at the rear of the plane
the loudness of the engines (Sevenair thoughtfully place earplugs in seat-back pockets)
I sat in the third row and watched morning fog stretch across low valleys until the Atlantic came to dominate the horizon
That departure lounge video might have come in handy had something gone awry
There were no safety instructions on board; in fact
there was no communication from the pilot at all until we landed in Cascais and were asked to vacate the plane for a crew switch
an upscale beach resort town just west of Lisbon
Sevenair is a small Portuguese aviation company with its fingers in many pies: charter flights
Small planes flying low over the coastline are a common sight in Cascais
Open your Flightradar24 app to identify one of these
it’s Sevenair on one of its circuits stretching the length of mainland Portugal
The airline exclusively flies Dornier 228s for its scheduled services, and the circuit stretches from the Algarve town of Portimão (PRM) to Cascais (CAT)
tucked away in Portugal’s far northeast
(Note that Vila Real airport was closed for runway repairs in the summer of 2019 and has not yet reopened
A Sevenair rep told me that the airport should reopen in 2022.) These Dornier 228s are particularly useful given the short runways in Portimão and Vila Real
As you might have guessed, this is a PSO circuit
benefiting from government subsidies coordinated through Portugal’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing
The circuit been guaranteed subsidies for the next several years at a minimum
What makes this full route so interesting for visitors to Portugal is its obvious practicality
and Bragança are all medium-sized Portuguese cities with broad catchment areas and extensive hinterlands for tourist exploration
They are all excluded from Portugal’s national train network
and their regional marginalization is further reinforced by subpar road connections to coastal hubs
perhaps especially for people heading to the Algarve for a quick weekend of relaxation
There is a standard metal detector and loads of buzz
Most of the airplanes parked on the apron are private
Cascais has the air of a well-off private airport
From Viseu to Portimão the flight spends most of its time over water
passing the Setúbal peninsula and the wider Alentejo before hitting land within spitting distance of the postcard-perfect Praia da Amália
a draw for locals after a mid-morning coffee and pastry
Portimão airport is known locally first as a skydiving hub and only secondarily as an airport with scheduled services
Chief Commercial Officer Alexandre Alves tells me the airline has been in discussions to add to the route map
Sevenair has deep experience with PSO routes (in Madeira
among other places) and have operated services in Guernsey for Aurigny Air Services and in Cape Verde for that country’s Coast Guard
So you never know – perhaps your local airport could be home to the buzz of a Dornier 228 next

we’ve all seen the sign: Sister City to Viseu de Sus
Thanks to an introductory letter from Staunton’s Mayor Dull
“Vee-SHOO duh SOOS”) sits in a valley between mountain ranges
It’s a town somewhat smaller than Staunton
just a few miles south of the border with Ukraine
It’s thriving under the leadership of Mayor Coman
he built up three wood-processing businesses that collectively employ 1000 people
and other products which they export throughout Europe
Three years ago he yielded to pressure and ran for mayor
In just two years the city paid off a $6.6 million debt
he proudly pointed out work done during his term
Sixty kilometers (38 miles) of roads have been paved thus far
“Without decent infrastructure,” he explained
“we can’t attract the businesses and tourism we need.”
“People don’t complain about taxes if they see that all the money goes for good purposes.” Transparency and efficiency were not the norm before his tenure
Viseu de Sus attracts a thousand tourists a day
Its steam-powered narrow-gauge railway carries visitors in open carriages 31 miles into the forests of the Carpathian mountains
Romanians are enthusiastic off-road explorers on mountain bikes
Romania has a diverse cultural and ethnic heritage
So there are dark Romanians and blond ones
“But lots of really good-looking ones,” the Wilsons said
The Eastern Orthodox Church is very active in everyday life
A large Jewish population was deported in the war; a museum commemorates their important role in the town’s past
Romania’s language is so similar to Italian that speakers of one can be understood in the other’s country
A large percentage of Romanians under age 25 speak English
If a traveler from the US needs help communicating
often a volunteer translator will materialize at his side
Some days we spent less than $60 for food and lodging–for the two of us!”
Staunton’s sister city in Romania is well worth a visit

will become a smart city thanks to the implementation of a sensor system that will ease the vehicle guidance
as well as the control of the parking spaces
Urbiotica has been selected by Saba and Egis Group as the best technological option to provide a reliable and efficient solution to the project
Saba is a reference industrial operator in the development of solutions in the field of urban mobility
Egis is an international group that operates in sectors of mobility services and construction engineering
Both companies collaborate through the company Semovepark Viseu to manage the regulated parking service of the municipality
The project will include the deployment of a total of 868 Fastprk duo sensors in the payment areas of the on-street public road
Fastprk’s smart parking system uses the LoRa communication protocol and combines magnetic detection with infrared
providing a very reliable and high precision solution over time with this double detection
The sensor immediately detects any change in the occupation of a parking space with an accuracy of 98%
Thanks to this technology the occupation data will be transmitted to the users indicating where to find free spaces
allowing to reduce drastically the time invested in finding parking
in real-time, of any fraud due to lack of payment or if the time paid by the user has been exceeded
the management and control of these spaces will be much more efficient
This solution allows the municipality to optimize its control operations and therefore increase the rotation of vehicles in the area so that a greater number of people can enjoy the use of the places
It is a clear advantage for vehicles looking for parking
as well as for the rest of the drivers who circulate with less congestion and the citizens who enjoy a more relaxed and sustainable environment
Urbiotica was established in 2008 with a very clear foundational vision: technology based on wireless sensor networks will transform how we manage our cities.
Urbiotica leads the revolution of the Internet of Things applied to Smart Cities. The projects implemented in more than 20 countries position us as the leading technology company in the development of smart solutions based on sensor systems, designed to manage urban space more efficiently and sustainably.

the project derives from the line of work that the angolan/portuguese artist has been developing about migration since two years ago
splitting his time between volunteer work with the NGO ERCI (assisting migrants/refugees that arrived by boat)
the work has been installed in the fontelo park
along with projects by portuguese artist cristina ataíde and canadian architect neeraj bathia.
the sculpture comes two years after ai wei wei’s life jacket installation
for which the chinese artist wrapped six columns of the berlin konzerthaus in refugee life jackets discarded and collected in lesvos

“We had a formal contact in order to tell us that they were counting on Viseu to be the "headquarters" of the filming that they are going to do in several municipalities here
The mayor of Vise said that another request is that “Viseu assumes itself as a facilitating entity with those who have the various domains
to facilitate the filming in the road network"
“although there are no specific dates” for the shooting of the film
he hopes that it will be “relatively soon”
