While the government under the Obama administration is putting emphasis on helping working mothers return to college, many people may not know exactly what Obama grants are.

Cat fur can be used as forensic evidence. In 2010 an international team of scientists established a comprehensive DNA data base of cat fur. DNA samples were collected from hundreds of cats from 25 distinct worldwide populations and 26 breeds. This resulted in 1,394 DNA cat sequences that can be used by criminal investigators. Cat fur, its natural oils and static electricity turn people into fur magnets. Now cat fur collected at a crime scene has the potential to link perpetrators, accessories, witnesses and victims. When it comes to criminals, this technology puts the cat in catch. The ancient technology of acupuncture may ease dental anxiety. An English study analyzed 20 severely anxious patients from 8 dentists. The patients had needles applied to 2 anxiety/stress points on the top of their heads 5 minutes before their dental procedures and the needles remained through the procedures. The median pre-procedure anxiety score on the Beck Anxiety Inventory was a severe 26.5. The median post-procedure score was a mild 11.5.

'The Office of the Future': an office where paper has been made a thing of the past. With us since the 1940's, the concept of the 'paperless office' has been around for a long time and still isn't a reality.Still with inspection, the office of today is a pretty good approximation of the pulp SF style workplace imagined by those in the early 20th century.For example, consider video conferencing in New York, you're sitting at your desk, discussing affairs with your colleagues in an everyday business meeting - but your colleagues are hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Instead of travelling that distance physically, you simply boot up your webcam, your microphone and your high bandwidth connection and you can discuss things face to face.In today's world, video conferencing seems like a simple application of technology - but that technology was impossible just thirty years ago. Imagine being from the 1940's; you'd have a heart attack, or at least need a stiff whisky and a cigarette. Although given that your average 1940's businessman could have done both at his desk, there'd still be a few more shocks in store for our erstwhile time-traveller.Anyway, however you look at it, you...more
