It¡¯s that time of year again, when tech companies from around the globe converge in Las Vegas to show off their latest gadgets in tech. It¡¯s the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) conference, and everything from virtual reality to massage chairs are featured at the event.At the Dreamwave booth, CEO Cliff Levin showcased the companies new massage chair.¡°Our desire was to create something to take people to a place that we called their dream wave, their happy place,¡± he says.The ,000 massage chair was designed by a combination of Japanese shiatsu experts and a designer who does interiors for Maserati and Porsche.There are also other high-tech gadgets that help with health and wellness. French company Withings featured their heart monitor cuff, which reads your blood pressure, while recording an electro cardiogram. The company says the device helps identify the heart condition atrial fibrillation. And there¡¯s really tech for everything, it seems. One company developed a diaper that detects when it needs to be changed. And smart home devices are the buzz. From showers you can control with your voice to electronic toilets, there¡¯s a lot of options to choose from to upgrade your home. More information about the conference can be found 1260

Kids can set their expectations pretty high when it comes to Christmas presents. One father says his 10-year-old daughter¡¯s wish list included an iPhone 11, AirPods, MacBook Air, and ,000 cash. To avoid going broke or disappointing your kids, parenting experts say it¡¯s important to manage children¡¯s expectations before the holidays roll around. ¡°If you have an entire list of big-ticket items, it might be clues that it¡¯s time to have a conversation about budgeting and about the value of money right and maybe start implementing some chores,¡± said certified parenting coach Carrington Cunnington. Cunnington says gift lists are a great tool especially for distant relatives, but children can be encouraged to think about more than just what they want.¡°I suggest my kids think about how could this exchange bring you and the person who you're exchanging with, how could it bring you closer together,¡± said Cunnington. Cunnington says it's also good to encourage your child to be a gift giver from an early age. Also, get them thinking about incorporating experiences instead of just items.¡°More people will remember special experiences than they will remember what was under the tree when they were 6 or 8 or 10 years old,¡± said Cunnington. Another approach suggested by a parenting support group is Want-Need-Wear-Read. Each kid gets one thing they want, one thing they need, something to wear and something to read. 1433

In a unique drug bust that could have come straight out of the movie "Traffic" or the TV show "Breaking Bad," border officials in Sydney, Australia, say they've intercepted more than million worth of liquid methamphetamine that arrived by air from Canada.The drug, totaling 7.5 liters, was hidden inside 15 snow globes.Australian Border Force Aviation Goods officers examined and X-rayed the snow globes. Tests of the liquid inside returned a "presumptive positive result for methamphetamine," the Australian Border Force 537

It is not news that Bugatti makes very expensive automobiles. A Bugatti Chiron, the brand's basic model, costs about million. Bugatti's latest creation, though, sets a new bar in price and exclusivity. Bugatti's La Voiture Noire cost €16.7 million, or almost million, including taxes. Before taxes, the car cost .5 million.According to Bugatti, La Voiture Noire is the most expensive new car ever sold and only one will be made. Bugatti did not reveal the identity of the buyer. It is someone with an enormous attachment to the Bugatti brand, the automaker said. It's also clearly someone with immense financial resources.Bugatti's new La Voiture Noire is designed to recall the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic of the 1930s. Only four of those cars were made and, today, they're among the most valuable cars in the world. They can be worth more than million, according to Hagerty Insurance, a company that tracks collector car values. One of those cars became known as "La Voiture Noire" which means simply, the black car. Only three are known to survive. The fourth seems to have disappeared shortly before the German invasion of France during World War II. Its whereabouts remain unknown.The Type 57 SC Atlantic was designed by Jean Bugatti, son of Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti, at a time when the bodies for most high-end cars were created by separate body makers rather than by the automobile companies themselves. 1443

It was January of 1980 when 21-year-old Helene Pruszynski was kidnapped, raped and murdered in Douglas County, Colorado. Her body was found in a field, but police never identified a suspect. Pruszynski¡¯s murder became a cold case.¡°We consider a case that does not have any viable leads after one to two years a cold case,¡± cold case detective Shannon Jensen said.However, Jensen says the case was never forgotten. Detectives continued to re-open it for 40 years. Then, with the help of new DNA technology, the suspect was identified in December of last year as James Curtis Clanton. He will be sentenced on April 10, based on the first-degree murder laws in 1980. Pruszynski¡¯s sister ¨C the only immediate family still living ¨C finally received the closure she had waited decades for.¡°She had told us that she thought that this may never be solved, and she had somewhat given up on her hope. And she couldn¡¯t believe that after all these years we were able to identify and arrest a suspect in her sister¡¯s murder,¡± Detective Jensen said.One key element to solving the case was DNA from people related to Clanton.Detective Jensen actively searched a public database called GEDmatch, which is used as a way for people to learn more about their family history. She came across Rob Diehl, who turned out to be Clanton's fourth cousin. When Detective Jensen reached out, he says he went through a wide range of emotions.However, Diehl says it didn¡¯t take long for him to realize he wanted to help, especially when he discovered how serious the crime was. He says because Clanton was such a distant cousin, they never knew each other.¡°You just think¡­ it¡¯s been cold for decades and so long that if there¡¯s no evidence now, this isn¡¯t going to be solved for the family or to bring somebody to justice,¡± Diehl said.So Diehl gave Detective Jensen access to his family tree and his DNA. Those both are critical elements in a newly utilized DNA technology called genetic genealogy.¡°Traditional genealogy is using public records to document a person¡¯s family tree and their ancestors. Genetic genealogy is when you¡¯re using DNA to help with that process,¡± Chief Genetic Genealogist CeCe Moore said.CeCe Moore is the Chief Genetic Genealogist at Parabon Nanolabs. Parabon assisted with Ms. Pruszynski¡¯s case, and the tech company has helped law enforcement across the nation identify more than 100 criminals the past two years."For us, significant amounts of DNA could be less than one percent, which is really a breakthrough because previously with law enforcement cases, you needed to have an exact match, or a very close family member,¡± Moore said. In Pruszynski¡¯s case, law enforcement in 1980 collected plenty of DNA evidence, and stored it properly making it possible for detectives today to upload a DNA profile to find her killer. In fact, Detective Jensen says she¡¯s currently in the process of solving two more cold cases. ¡°This technology has given detectives like myself another tool to add to our toolbox. It¡¯s given new life to cases that we once thought might have been unsolvable,¡± Detective Jensen said.Not only is this technology finding those responsible for crimes, but it¡¯s also ruling out the innocent.¡°If genetic genealogy is used earlier in the process, it can really help avoid hundreds or even thousands of innocent people who are looked at as persons of interest in these cases,¡± Moore said.Moore says 30 million people have uploaded their DNA to genetic websites the past decade. However, in order for law enforcement to gain access to it, you would need to upload your DNA to a public database like GEDmatch, and ¡®opt in¡¯ for law enforcement to see your profile.¡°If you have done a DNA kit, or you¡¯re thinking about doing a DNA kit on ancestry or 23andMe or My Heritage, download that raw DNA data file and upload it to GEDMatch because everyone can be a crime solver,¡± Detective Jensen said.  3926
