GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

My kid usually gets £1 from tooth fairy. We live in Scotland. We're visiting family near London, and she lost a tooth. Gave her £1.20 as it includes London weighting. Economics lessons start now.

When I was researching Beside the Seaside I built quite a good digital archive of images of railway travel posters relating to Yorkshire. One of them was this one which I don't think I've seen online since. A penny a mile would make a return trip to the coast from West Yorkshire about 12/- or so

There really is something about Their Graces, the Dukes of York

There have been 11. Of which:

2 were killed on the battlefield
1 was probably/possibly murdered in the Tower
1 was executed by Parliament (after he had succeeded as king)
1 was deposed (ditto)
2 showed promise but really went to seed

I have since worked with some people I consider to be real geniuses. What marks them out is an ability to grasp, immediately, the many facets of a problem and a gift for explaining it simply. /3
