Scientists recently confirmed a bracelet found in Siberia is the oldest piece of modern jewelry ever studied. It’s so old, in fact, that we Homo Sapiens can’t even claim it as our own. Instead, this ancient adornment was crafted by a Denisovan master. The Denisovan are an extinct species that were neither homo Sapiens (us) or Neanderthals (this guy).

This 40,000 year old artifact was found where the Kazakhstan, Chinese and Mongolian borders brush up against Russia. I know, I had no idea what that meant either. So here’s a map to better illuminate the region:

Patiots conspiracy theories run amock during gamecast

Child Tracker Wristband Being Developed By BYU Students

May 15, 2015May 15, 2015 Sean Mulligan

Wristband company Kiband is making waves with their child tracker wristband and phone application. Basically, your child wears this wristband with a gps component inside. If your child wanders an unsafe distance away, your phone is alerted. The phone application will then lead you right to your missing charge. My initial thoughts are that this is a good idea. While certainly not original, I’m not sure anyone’s executed this concept in a way that would make it popular in the mainstream. Has Kiband done that? I’m not so sure.
