The man searching for pirate treasure in the Seychelles

Like his late father Reginald before him, he believes there is great beauty to be found beneath an unprepossessing stretch of road in northern Mahe, the main island of the Seychelles. See, Cruise-Wilkins is a treasure hunter. And his and his father's seven decades' worth of research have led them to this spot, where it's thought an 18th century French pirate by the name of Olivier Levasseur left his greatest hoard. Levasseur, known as La Buse ("The Buzzard") spent years pillaging his way across this corner of the Indian Ocean before settling on the Seychelles.

s Hubble Reveals Rogue Planetary Orbit For Fomalhaut B

Based on these observations, astronomers calculated that the planet is in a 2,000-year-long, highly elliptical orbit. The planet will appear to cross a vast belt of debris around the star roughly 20 years from now. If the planet's orbit lies in the same plane with the belt, icy and rocky debris in the belt could crash into the planet's atmosphere and produce various phenomena. The black circle at the center of the image blocks out the light from the bright star, allowing reflected light from the belt and planet to be photographed. Newly released NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of a vast debris disk encircling the nearby star Fomalhaut and a mysterious planet circling it may provide forensic evidence of a titanic planetary disruption in the system.

Most lives are lived by default. Jamie lives in a large city in the midwest. He’s a copywriter for an advertising firm, and he’s good at it. He’s also good at thinking of reasons why he ought to be happy with his life. He has health insurance, and now savings. Scalable Living: changes you can make to be more productive. I’ve been going through lots of changes behind the scenes that is leading me down a new path I call “scalable living.” To get there, over the past year, I’ve unfollowed about 10,000 people on Instagram. Then I did the same on Quora. I deleted hundreds of apps from my iPhone. Totally changed how I communicate with all of you (I almost shut down my blog, instead, preferring to spend time where most of you are hanging out anyway: on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Google+).

UK Sequencing project will map DNA of up to 100,000 patients « The Family History of Bowel Cancer Clinic.

Sequencing project will map DNA of up to 100,000 patients Monday 10 December 2012 – from Cancer Research UK A new £100m project will map the DNA of up to 100,000 patients with cancer and other rare diseases. The large-scale mapping initiative will take place in England over the next three to five years and is intended to lay the foundations for a revolution in NHS treatment. The genetic data will help researchers to develop new drugs and tests that could help save thousands of lives. Britain should “push the boundaries” and become the first country to introduce genetic sequencing to its mainstream health service, according to the prime minister David Cameron. DNA of 100,000 people to be mapped for NHS. Up to 100,000 people in England will have their entire genetic makeup mapped in the first stage of an ambitious public health programme the government hopes could revolutionise the treatment and prevention of cancer and other diseases.

Ministers have committed an initial £100m for the project, which aims to take advantage of the tumbling cost of mapping an individual's full DNA sequence to make genetic analysis a key component of some medical treatments. During an initial three to five-year period, up to 100,000 people with cancer or certain rare diseases will voluntarily have their DNA mapped. Sir John Bell, professor of medical sciences at Oxford University and the government's adviser on genetics, said the UK hoped to lead the world in the practical applications of DNA mapping, having been "very late to the game" in using other British-developed technologies such as CT and MRI scanning.
