Mr. Deeds goes to Town - El Secreto de Vivir (1936)

Gary Cooper in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town trailer

  Un hombre sencillo al que le gusta tocar el trombón hereda una fortuna que lo convierten en un hombre poderoso, influyente e inmensamente rico. Su sensatez se verá cuestionada cuando decide repartir su dinero entre los más pobres. El periodismo sensacionalista le hará jugar una mala pasada e incluso llegará a sentirse decepcionado en cuanto a sentimientos amorosos se refiere. La película tiene escenas memorables como aquella en la que Mr. Deeds se divierte deslizándose por el pasamanos de las escaleras, otra en la que se ve cómo disfruta viendo comer a un hombre hambriento, y otra en la que juega a hacer eco sinfónico con sus sirvientes. En la versión doblada al español, cuando a las dos viejas hermanas, que comparten con él la casa del pueblo, se les pregunta la opinión que tienen de Mr.Deeds afirman "El señor Deeds está poseído por los duendes".

  A simple man who likes to play the trombone inherits a fortune, making it a powerful man, influential and immensely rich. His wisdom will be challenged when he decides to distribute his money among the poor. The tabloid will make him play a trick and even come to feel disappointed about loving feelings are concerned. The film has memorable scenes like the one in which Mr. Deeds has fun sliding down the banister of the stairs, one in which we see how he enjoys seeing a hungry man to eat, and another one in which he plays to symphonic echo with his servants. In the Spanish dubbed version, when the two old sisters, who share his house in the village, are asked the opinion they have about Mr.Deeds they say "El señor Deeds está poseído por los duendes" (They say "Mr. Deeds is pixilated", in the original version, meaning he's possessed by the pixies).

* Título en Español: El Secreto de Vivir.

Portable Apps, so useful as they are

   Did you know that many apps have their portable versions to use with a USB memory stick? The advantage is they do not require any kind of formal installation onto a computer and the temporary files are stored in the USB drive.

   You can find a big list on the Wikipedia.

   Some browsers like Firefox (Firefox Portable), Opera (Opera@USB), Google Chrome... have their portable versions too, that's quite useful when surfing the net in a computer is not of your own, such as places like universities, cybercafés... In that way cookies, cache and history remain in your USB drive or are deleted after closing the browser, keeping your surfing data private (don't get confused with anonymous surfing)

   Respect to FF Portable you may need to install Flash and Shockwave plugins:

- Locate the plugins in your PC (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\)
- Copy the plugin you need from there to your FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins directory (For Flash, copy "NPSWF32.dll"... for Shockwave, copy "np32dsw.dll")

Good tips for Opera Browser

1. BITTORRENT IN OPERA BROWSER

* To disable Opera's BitTorrent client:
- Type on your Opera URL bar -->
opera:config#BitTorrent
- Press "Enter", and
uncheck "Enable", click "Save", and BitTorrent is disabled.

* In order to use a third-party BitTorrent client, instead of Opera's BitTorrent client:
- Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Downloads
- Uncheck "Hide file types opened with Opera"
- Type "torrent" in the Quick find box
- Double-click the line that looks like this: application/x-bittorrent torrent (you can select to either use your system's default BitTorrent client -Open with default application- or define a preferred client -Open with other application-)
- This will not disable Opera's BitTorrent client, but it will associate Torrent files with your preferred BitTorrent client.

2. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SPEED DIAL SPOTS

- Look for "speeddial.ini" file in C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Opera\OPERA\profile
- Before editing it: Close Opera! (very important). And keep a copy of speeddial.ini before making any change.
- Open speeddial.ini and type on the bottom of the page:

[Size]
Rows=3
Columns=5
You can choose the number of rows and columns at your ease!
- Click save to keep the changes.
- Now you can open Opera.

3. HOW TO REMOVE THE SPEED DIAL SEARCH BOX


- Type on your Opera URL bar -->
opera:config#Speed%20Dial
- Press "Enter" and where it says "Speed Dial Search Type" set to 0

4. HOW TO REMOVE OR HIDE THE SPEED DIAL

It's quite easy!, just click "Hide Speed Dial" (on the right bottom of Speed Dial)

5. HOW TO RESUME A MISSING TRANSFER FROM THE TRANSFER TAB


- Start download again and save with another name.
- Stop transfer after few seconds.
- Delete new download file.
- Rename old download file with new name.
- Resume transfer.

6. HOW TO USE ADOBE ACROBAT READER WITH OPERA


- Look for "nppdf32.dll" in your PC (it's hidden in the Acrobat Reader Plugins folder)
- Copy it to Opera's Plugins folder (C:\Program Files\Opera\Program\Plugins).

- Now Opera will launch the Acrobat Reader when you use Opera to view .pdf files.

You can change the way Opera opens the PDF documents in Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Downloads. Edit the MIME type assosiated with pdf files to either "Use plug-in" or "Open with default application".

7. HOW TO VIEW OPERA SAVED PASSWORDS

- Bookmark link of any good View Passwords Bookmarklet for Opera as the one you can find here or here.
- Open the login page with username and password (you can see yellow fields, if you really saved the password before), press "Wand button" on Opera toolbar or "Ctrl + Enter", and then "Esc" very quickly.
- Now click View Passwords bookmarklet on your Bookmarks.

There are free apps which do this work too, like "OperaPassView".

8. HOW TO INSTALL OPERA EXTENSIONS MANUALLY

If you don't have the .ocx file, download it first by right-clicking and "save linked content as". Once you have the .ocx on your desktop, just drag it over Opera browser and accept the installation. Done!

Oncogene Therapy Ideas --- Ideas para Terapia Oncogénica



Theory of Cell Power:

  Inject equal cells to the affected organ, which carry a special message in their genetic code, to occupy the affected area and kill the bad cells as they touch them ("Get out of here, go away, that this site is mine").
 The idea came to me at hearing on the radio an experiment: healthy hepatocytes were injected by the portal vein instead of doing an hepatic transplant, and the patient began to improve all analytical parameters.

  It would be a mix of gene and cell therapy, we could insert the code of immune cells that kill the bad ones or just a message so that they self-destruct. It's as simple as knowing the codes and their effects, to make the one we want, and place into the healthy cell, which will be the lead singer's voice.

           ........................................................................................................

Teoría del Poder Celular:

  Inyectar células iguales al órgano afecto, que llevan un mensaje especial en el código genético, el de ir ocupando la zona afecta y a la vez irse cargando a las células malas conforme las van tocando ("quítate de aquí, desaparece, que este sitio es mío").
  La idea me vino al oír en la radio el experimento de que en lugar de hacer trasplante hepático se inyectaron hepatocitos sanos por la porta, y la paciente empezó a mejorar toda la analítica.

  Sería una mezcla de terapia génica y celular, podríamos insertarles el código de células inmunitarias que se carguen a las malas o simplemente un mensaje de que las malas se autodestruyan. Es tan simple como conocer bien los códigos y sus efectos, fabricar el que queremos, e introducirlo en la célula sana, que será la que lleve la voz cantante.




Theory of Cell Nutrition:

  Starting from the idea that the cell does not nourish it disappears, we could change the nutrient receptors of tumor cells to stop feeding them, while healthy cells would keep on nourishing and continue to multiply, coming to occupy the space left by the tumor cells that has been disappearing.
   What you need to get is that nutrients do not arrive, specifically, to malignant cells.

   * How do you get that?
   One possibility would be to modify the genetic code of food to only penetrate healthy cells.
   Another possibility would be to modify or block the membrane receptors of malignant cells to avoid any nutrient can penetrate.
   And another possibility would be to incorporate a genetic message in tumor cells in order they phagocytose each other or self-phagocytose.

     .............................................................................................................

Teoría de la Nutrición Celular:

   Partiendo de la idea de que la célula que no se nutre desaparece, podríamos modificar los receptores de los nutrientes de las células tumorales para que dejaran de alimentarse, mientras que las células sanas seguirían nutriéndose y multiplicándose, llegando a ocupar el espacio dejado por las células tumorales que han ido desapareciendo.
Lo que hay que conseguir es que los nutrientes no lleguen, de manera específica, a las células malas.

   * ¿Cómo conseguir ésto?
  Una posibilidad sería modificar el código genético de los alimentos para que sólo penetren en las células sanas.
  Otra posibilidad sería modificar o bloquear los receptores de membrana de las células malas para que no pueda penetrar nutriente alguno.
  Y otra posibilidad sería incorporar un mensaje genético en las células tumorales para que se fagocitaran unas a otras o se fagocitaran a sí mismas.
