"CytoSorb has also received FDA Breakthrough Designation to remove ticagrelor during emergent or urgent cardiothoracic surgery, representing a potential path to U.S. FDA approval."
I missed this one...

Does your daugther alreday play piano? Not that you buy a piano and she looses interest by time. I did buy a piano for my daughter as well. Steinway is a very good brand. Bechstein is also a nice one. However, new pianos do not have the same quality as the old ones. If you buy a new piano it must be tuned more often, since the wood reacts to the environment... An old one (1930 for example) must be tuned as well. The place should be good considered. Not at the windowside and a constant temperature with not too dry air. I did buy a piano from a local brand in Stuttgart. In the old years they did build good pianos, too. It is used and the quality is good. It did cost 200€ including shipping. The old owner changed flat and the parents did not want to keep it at their place. So they wanted to move it anyway. Some friends of mine helped me lifting the beast up the 5 steps. It is a normal piano (no wing), but unfortunately of the heaviest ones. I know a piano tuner working for himself. He is very good and does not want to sell stuff, if you know what I mean. He told me that the piano is very good, but needs some time tuning and cleaning parts. You can not tune a piano too much at one session, if the pitch is too low, which is often the case. At the moment it should not be played togerther with other instruments (due to pitch). Next time he will increase the pitch higher, clean other parts etc. So I would say in about one year I spend less then 400$ on the piano and two times tuning. Your blogger Mr. MMM would have surely tuned this thing by himself. But I finally found ways to get the thing build up. The piano tuner took two hard hours at the first time, since it was not tuned for a couple of years and due to transportation.
