    Rare 'golden ticket' £5 note found in Christmas card

    A rare U.K. £5 note thought to be worth tens of thousands times more than its face value has been found in a Christmas card. The note is one of only four engraved with an image of Jane Austen, with each featuring a quotation from one of her novels. They are the work of Graham Short, a British artist specializing in miniature engravings, in a project launched by the Tony Huggins-Haig Gallery in Scotland. The notes are intended to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Austen's death later this year. Tony Huggins-Haig, speaking to CNBC via telephone, described the notes as "almost a Willy Wonka golden ticket." He explained that the notes - being of low monetary value - were "likely to end up in anybody's

[h=3]Village intervenes after couple refuses to stop at 17 children[/h]While the world's most populous nation China has restrictions on the number of children a couple can have, India - which is fast catching up with China on people count - doesn't impose any such law on its citizens. As a result, many Indian families, still wrapped in the shackles of patriarchy, don't see it as a problem to keep producing children until a boy is born. And sometimes, an entire village has to intervene to halt the juggernaut.

[h=3]Carbon Capture Breakthrough in India Converts CO2 Into Baking Powder[/h]Carbon captured in a new process from a coal-fired power plant in Chennai, India will be used by chemicals manufacturer Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals & Fertilizers (TACFL) to produce soda ash. Tuticorin power plant in India will convert carbon emissions to soda ash.Roger Harrabin / The Guardian The process was developed by London-based Carbon Clean Solutions Limited (CCSL). A pilot project, completed in May 2016, demonstrated the advantages of the process. Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), is used in glass manufacturing, fiberglass insulation, sweeteners and household products. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), is one of those products. "This project is a game-changer,"

[h=3]Massive python wrestles with alligator in South Florida[/h]A reporter in South Florida witnessed a large python battling an alligator while on a bike ride in a nature preserve in the Everglades. Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post spotted the epic battle between the gator and the approximately 15-foot long Burmese python after hearing several loud splashes while biking in the Big Cypress National Preserve west of Miami. The Miami Herald reported that the last time a gator and python were seen battling in the area the gator managed to break free of the 13-foot python's stomach, snapping the snake in half. The encounter Capozzi witnessed appeared to go much more favorably for the python as the lengthy snake coiled around the gator as it seemingly ended the ten minute scuffle by squeezing the gator to death.

[h=3]Another organ has been hiding in your belly all along[/h]Calvin Coffey, a professor of surgery at the University of Limerick in Ireland, is leading research on the mesentery organ. This week, as you dream up ways to improve yourself in 2017, give yourself a pat on the back: You've already made a significant change this year, from deep within your belly. Irish researchers have confirmed that the mesentery - a fold of membrane that connects the intestine to the abdomen - is its own continuous organ, and not a series of fragmented parts like experts had previously thought. The discovery could create a new field of "mesenteric" science and may help doctors better understand and treat abdominal diseases, said Calvin Coffey, a professor of surgery at University of Limerick's Graduate Entry Medical School.

[h=3]A cuisine that’s been largely ignored for decades could be the next big thing in America[/h]When it comes to aromatic and flavorful food, Indian cuisine has no parallel. So why is it so underrepresented in American cuisine? According to a Washington Post report, there are over 40,000 Chinese restaurants across the nation and roughly the same number of Mexican restaurants. Yet there are only around 5,000 Indian restaurants nationwide. Many point to the fine culinary skills needed to create quality Indian cuisine, which result in higher prices. Everyday Americans don't expect to pay above a certain price level for food, which leaves only sub-par Indian food as an option. And once you've had bad Indian food, it takes a while to want to roll the dice again. But despite this, Indian food

Five arrested in connection with Bengaluru sex assaults

At least five people have been detained in connection with complaints of widespread sexual assaults on women during New Year's eve celebrations in the Indian city of Bengaluru, police said on Wednesday. The detentions came amid widespread outrage as female revelers complained they were groped and assaulted by a mob of men on MG Road in Bengaluru's city centre. The police, who initially dismissed the incidents saying it had not received complaints, took up the matter two days after the incident as videos of men assaulting women went viral on social media. On Wednesday, television channels aired fresh footage from the same day, said to be from the closed circuit security camera of a private house, that showed two men on a scooter assaulting a young woman while some bystanders lurked at a distance.
