The bottle contained a postcard from June 1914 from Captain CH Brown from the Glasgow School of Navigation. Immensely proud to be the finder of the world record message in a bottle. It was one of 1,890 bottles released as part of a scientific experiment to chart the currents of the seas around Scotland based on where they were located.

Alyson Bair, 31. Mrs Bair has been diagnosed with a chronic auto-immune disease called Sjogren's syndrome where a person's white blood cells attack their moisture-producing glands. since being told she had Sjogren's syndrome she had felt depressed and doctors said stress could exacerbate the sleepwalking. Mrs Bair has also suffered from night terrors since she was a child. Alyson Bair appeared to have been suffering from a particularly severe form of somnambulism, or sleepwalking. Sleepwalking occurs when normal physiological systems are active when they're not supposed to be. The sleepwalker cannot respond during the incident, even though their eyes are open, and often won't remember it. Sjogren's disease itself didn't cause the sleepwalking issues...the depression from being told she has the disease contributed. Melatonin is a sleep hormone that she may be lacking. Also, muscle relaxation methods, including deep-breathing and stretching, before bedtime may be helpful along with sleep meds and nutritional help.

The area in question is a thin triangle connecting the towns of Thirsk, Wetherby with Corsett in the north. This is not the first time it has happened in that area. unusually high levels of solar activity distorting magnetic fields signals that are making the birds go batty. Fanciers say they are experiencing "disastrous" and unprecedented losses in an area. only 13 of the 232 birds released in the region made it home. Racing pigeons can be identified by a tag on their leg and racing clubs often organise couriers to pick up lost birds.

Human Body Parts Printer

Organovo's NovoGen 3D Bioprinting platform creates human tissues. a revolutionary company that uses 3D printing technology to build organic tissues one cell at a time. The cells to grow and interact until they form working muscle tissue. Organovo's product is so similar to human tissue, it could help researchers identify drugs that will fail long before they reach clinical trial. Organovo has built tissue of several types, including cardiac muscle, lung, and blood vessels.Organovo's technology enables cells to interact with each other much the way they do in the body. Organovo has made only small pieces of tissue, but its ultimate goal is to use its 3-D printer to make complete organs for transplants.Because the organs would be printed from a patient's own cells, there would be less danger of rejection.

Game that Hacks your Brain

In a real-world scenario, the researchers foresee a game that is specially tailored by hackers to extract sensitive information from your brain. Using a commercial off-the-shelf brain-computer interface, the researchers have shown that it’s possible to hack your brain, forcing you to reveal information that you’d rather keep secret. software, which processes your brain activity and tries to work out what you’re trying to do (turn left, double click, open box, etc.) Universities of Oxford and Geneva, and the University of California, Berkeley — created a custom program that was specially designed with the sole purpose of finding out sensitive data, such as the location of your home, your debit card PIN, which bank you use, and your date of birth. To extract this information, the researchers rely on what’s known as the P300 response — a very specific brainwave pattern. The researchers basically designed a program that flashes up pictures of maps, banks, and card PINs, and makes a note every time your brain experiences a P300.
