How to have sex the 17th Century w ay-Contents of Britain's first sex guide REVEALED

'Aritstoteles Master-Piece' - dubbed the dirtiest book of the time when published in 1684 - was sold secretly from under the counters of bookshops for centuries. The original 'lover's guide', it contains a bizarre mix of superstition and sex facts, about everything from the "actions of the genitals" to the "benefits of marriage". One chapter, entitled 'A word of advice to both sexes at the time of copulation', advises men to "creep in by little and little" to get their wives into bed. "When the husband cometh into his wives chamber, he must entertain her with all kind of dalliance, wanton behaviour, and allurements to venery," it begins.READ MORE -http://www.express.co.uk/news/history/641140/Sex-17th-Century-Britain-first-sex-guide-revealed-history-uk

Vanishing wreck, Westward Ho!

The vanishing wreck on Westward Ho! beachEvery few years the shifting sands of Westward Ho! beach reveal the remains of a wooden ship which has been seen intermittently since at least the mid 19th century, when it was described as “a very old wreck”.
The oak-framed ship lies parallel to the pebble ridge, about 650 metres to the seaward side.  It is around 25 metres long and 7.6 metres wide with semicircular bows (at the north end) and a more oval stern.  The planking is joined to the frames by trunnels (wooden nails, which swelled as they absorbed water).  Trunnels were used in shipbuilding from prehistoric times until the late 18th century.=READ MORE =https://new.devon.gov.uk/historicenvironment/explore-devons-heritage/vanishing-wreck-westward-ho/

Scientists discover one of human's earliest ancestors - and it's a worm named after a doughnut

Scientists have found one of human's earliest ancestors 12,000 feet deep under the ocean - a weird pink worm named after a doughnut. The four-inch (10 cm) long Xenoturbella churro - named for its resemblance to the popular fried-dough pastry - is one of four species discovered 1,700 metre deep in the Gulf of California. Previously Xenoturbeklla was only known from a single species found in the North Atlantic, puzzling biologists for almost six decades. Now expeditions half a world away by scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at California University in San Diego, the Western Australia Museum and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) have helped properly=READ MORE=http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/scientists-discover-one-humans-earliest-7303384

Lord Lucan, who went missing in 1974, has been declared dead by the High CourtThe only son of missing peer Lord Lucan has consoled the son of the nanny his father murdered in 1974 - saying they 'both lost parents' that night.
Lord George Bingham has finally been granted a death certificate 42 years after his father vanished following the murder of Sandra Rivett, nanny to Lord Lucan's three children.
He applied for the certificate under the Presumption of Death Act, which came into effect in 2014, so he can inherit the title as 8th Earl.
Lord Lucan disappeared after Ms Rivett was found murdered at the family home at 46 Lower Belgrave Street in central London on November 7, 1974. His disappearance has come to be one of the greatest mysteries of the past 50 years, attracting an endless series of conspiracy theories

Eagle-eyed: Dutch police to train birds to take down unauthorised drones

As the use of drones increasingly worries everyone from firefighters and air traffic control to law enforcement, Netherlands’ national police have aligned themselves with a group that hates flying robots on principle: the bald eagle. Dutch police have joined forces with Guard From Above, a raptor-training security firm based in the Hague, to keep wayward drones from causing trouble by snatching them out of the sky. Guard From Above’s chief executive officer Sjoerd Hoogendoorn described the project in a press release as “a low-tech solution for a high-tech problem”. He and the company’s chief operating officer, Ben de Keijzer, train birds of prey to catch unauthorised unmanned vehicles – Hoogendoorn’s background is in private security, de Keijzer’s is in bird-handling and training.READ MORE =http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/01/dutch-netherlands-police-birds-unauthorized-drones
