After reading it, he decided to buildan electric toaster by himself, using raw materials. To begin his “Toaster Project,” Thwaites looked at all toasters in astore. He bought the cheapest toaster because he thought that it would be the easiest to build. He took it apart to seewhat it was made of. Although the toaster seemed simple, it had 400 different pieces!

But it seems that this is oftencounterproductive, especially in the case of back pain, which after headaches and tiredness, has become the thirdmost common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work.Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so it is more difficult to take pressureoff the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins, the body’s “feel-good” chemicals, which are naturalpainkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain an optimumlevel of endorphins in the body.Most patients are prescribed drugs rather than exercise. However, since finding the cause of backache is not soeasy, doctors frequently do not know the exact cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, patients end uptaking stronger doses or a series of different drugs.|11050A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients haveundergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Takingpatients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity by making them more physically and mentally alert. Insome pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises, followed by anhour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice t’ai chi, a Chinese system of calisthenics, self-defense, andmeditation. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours’ physiotherapy a week in a conventionalhospital program. “The idea is to strengthen and to increase stamina, flexibility and confidence,” explains Bill Wiles,a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. “Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy activelifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment”.

Improvements in crime technology helpdetectives solve crimes faster today. For example, crime labs have new kinds of DNA testing, which can identify bodyfluids such as blood, sweat, and saliva. There are also new kinds of fingerprint testing. In the past, fingerprint testingwas only helpful if the fingerprints from the crime scene could be matched with “prints” that were already on file.People whose fingerprints were not on file couldn’t be identified in this way, and as a result, many crimes had not beensolved.However, the newest kind of fingerprint testing can do much more than simply record a fingerprint pattern. It canprovide additional information, such as the age and sex of its owner. The fingerprints can reveal if the person takesmedication, too. But the latest technology does even more. It can even get fingerprints from fabric, for example,blankets or curtains. In a recent case, the police in Tacoma, Washington, found the body of a woman who had beenmurdered in her bedroom. There was no witness, and her apartment had few clues. The only real evidence did not seemvery helpful. The victim’s bed sheet had some of her blood on it and looked as if someone had wiped his hands. At thetime of the murder, it was impossible to identify a fingerprint from fabric. The detectives were unable to use theevidence, but they saved it anyway. Then they called Eric Berg, who was not only a forensic expert, but a computerexpert, too. He had spent years developing computer software to improve crime scene photos. Eric used his computerto make the palm print more apparent. When he was done, he gave the evidence to the detectives. The detectives founda man whose palm print matched a print on file. Only two hours later the suspect was arrested and put in jail.
