This is kind of wacky and weird... but for those who believe in science and if you are in relationship then here is a good news for you.
A love test designed by scientists can tell what the chances are of a relationship being a success.
A team of Researchers have designed a quiz type of questioning pattern to predict the outcome of whether more than 50 couples would split up over a 12 month period.
This test uses psychological technique to discover what people really think of their partners by how easy they find it to associate them with positive or negative words.

Researcher found out a new experimental vaccine that drastically helps in extending the life of patients with the most deadly type of brain tumor, glioblastoma (GBM), according to a small-scale US study published on Monday.
This vaccine is designed to targets a aggressive cancer gene called EGFRvIII that fuels glioblastomas, researchers said.
In their study of 18 patients, survival rate was extended from an expected 15 months to 26 months.
The study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology also said the vaccinated patients benefited from a longer “progression-free survival period, 14.2 months, compared to 6.3 months for those who did not receive the vaccine.”

"Studies have shown that 'Where are you?' is the single most commonly sent SMS," said doctoral student Matthew Kwan from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University's school of mathematical and geospatial sciences in Australia.
Techies have developed a method for embedding Global Positioning System coordinates in an SMS message.
The technique, known as geotagging, can transmit a mobile phone's position.
It works by placing location identifiers in the text, for example - I'm at the pub geo:-37.801631,144.980294.

Amdavadi rickshaw puller Rohit Upadhyay will, on October 1, donate blood for the 100th time - making him the first rickshaw driver in the city to accomplish this record.
Upadhyay will join the club of centurion blood donors on the All India Voluntary Blood Donation Day this Friday, when he will make his 100th donation.
He will also be the 66th member of the Ahmedabad Red Cross Centurion Blood Donors' Club.
Ironically though, when this man had donated blood for the first time, it was because he wanted to commit suicide and he thought the donation would take his life!

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to address public in London

(AP) The founder of WikiLeaks, the controversial online organization set up to reveal government secrets, will address the public for the first time on Thursday since Swedish prosecutors began investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against him.
The rape and molestation allegations against Julian Assange have cast a shadow over WikiLeaks at a time when the website is already under pressure for publishing a huge cache of leaked documents about US military activity in Afghanistan.
Assange's appearance at London's City University later Thursday also comes amid reports that WikiLeaks is unraveling from internal turmoil and power struggles. Key staffers at the website have reportedly deserted the organization out of anger that Assange unilaterally decided to publish tens of thousands of classified documents before enough work was done to protect the names of informants.

(PTI) A powerful magnetic field can temporarily confuse the brain and alter our hand preference, a new study has found.
In an extraordinary experiment by researchers at the University of California found that volunteers' hand choices were changed when they were subjected to a powerful magnetic field.
Although the effects lasted till the magnet was switched on, the study threw light on the origin of hand choice in the brain, the researchers said.
It also highlighted that how it is easy to change people's behaviour with magnets, they added.
Dr Flavio Oliveira, who led the study, said: "We are not really looking at handedness, but at hand choice. We found that in situations where people are almost equally likely to use their left or right hand we can make them use their left hand more by stimulating this part of the brain."

Previously on June 24, 2008, China had also set a world record with the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed train reaching a max speed of 394.3 km per hour.
Now, again a high-speed train in China has set a new world speed record during a trial run.
The train touched a maximum speed of 416.6 km per hour on its journey on Tuesday between Shanghai and Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, Xinhua reported.
The train is designed to run at a speed of 350 km per hour on the 202-km-long track between the two cities. A one-way journey previously took two hours. But the new train would lessen that to around 40 minutes, officials said.

(AFP) Growing up near the air force base in Dayton, Ohio, Mr Tejdeep Singh Rattan, knew he wanted to serve in uniform. When he was turned away the third time from serving in the military, Mr Rattan became suspicious.
“I was, like, I don’t know what’s going on,” he said. “I was very introverted at the time. But I said I really want to do this, and you guys are sending me out again and again.”
The 31-year-old is now US Army Captain Rattan and since July the head dentist at the Fort Drum base in New York. In what appears to be a quiet shift, the US military has allowed Mr Rattan and two other Sikhs to serve while retaining their turbans and beards, which are required by their faith.

(IANS) Researchers discovered that such people are more likely to have a genetic variant that protects them from tuberculosis and leprosy.
They analysed DNA samples from populations across Europe, Asia and Africa and compared rates of genetic disease resistance with urban history.
Poor sanitation and heavy population densities provided an ideal breeding ground for infections in built-up areas in previous generations, reports the journal Evolution.
Past exposure to pathogens led to disease resistance spreading through populations because ancestors passed it on to their descendants, a Daily Mail report quoting scientists, said.

(IANS) Researchers from the Purdue University in Indiana, US, found overweight and obese men on low-calorie, high-protein diets felt more satisfied and less hungry when they ate three times daily compared to eating six times a day.
In popular perception it is better to eat little meals more often.
However, lead researcher Heather Leidy, now at the University of Missouri in Columbia, US, said: "These mini-meals everyone is talking about don't seem to be as beneficial as far as appetite control."
Studies on whether eating frequency affects appetite control have had "conflicting" results, according to the journal Obesity.

(AFP) Tokyo: They sell umbrellas, flowers and cooked meals, cough up cool drinks after earthquakes and even try to read your mind. They are Japan's five million vending machines.
Scattered across the country, the automated stores are about as ubiquitous as traffic lights and offer an ever-widening, dizzying palette of goods.
Thanks to Japan's low crime rate, companies have placed them everywhere, from neon-lit city centres to the icy summit of Mount Fuji, with little risk of them being burgled and relieved of their rich coin vaults.
“They are so convenient, I wish I had one in my room,” said 18-year-old Tokyo resident Hibiki Miura, who like many Japanese finds it hard to imagine modern civilisation without the handy helpers.

Search engine giant Google, which owns YouTube, announced the verdict handed down by a commercial court in Madrid.
The court decision accepted YouTube's position that it is a mere intermediary offering services of content accommodation and cannot therefore be obliged to previously check on videos to be uploaded by users.
