Malcolm Myatt always looked on the bright side of
life. But the grandfather is now in a permanent state of happiness –
after a stroke left him unable to feel sadness.
The stroke interfered with the part of Mr Myatt’s brain that regulates
emotional responses, leaving him liable to erupt in a fit of giggles at
the most inappropriate of times.
He has sat through funerals smiling broadly or cracking jokes, and
during meals out with wife his Kath, 63, he regularly attracts puzzled
looks from fellow diners.

BBC 'to hand 120 Jimmy Savile victims £33,000 compensation'
A compensation package worth £33,000
could be handed to 120 victims of disgraced TV presenter Jimmy Savile,
it has been reported.
The exact amount is expected to be finalised when high court judge Dame Janet Smith publishes the results of her inquiry, which is looking into the culture and practices at the BBC during the years of Savile’s abuse, later in the year.
It is believed the amount will be less than the £4.1million the corporation paid to its senior managers, swollen by controversial ‘golden goodbyes’ for bosses forced out over the handling of the Savile affair.

Army Demonstrates a Weapon That Shoots Laser-Guided Lightning Bolts
The Laser-Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) can be used to destroy anything
that conducts electricity better than the air or ground surrounding it
(unexploded ordnance seems a good candidate here). It works off of some
pretty basic principles of physics, using a laser to carve an
electromagnetic path through the air that accommodates a high-voltage
beam. Create that path, crank up the voltage, and your target is toast.

’Ark’ 2.0: Largest Private Shelter on Earth Prepping Below Kansas Town
The ‘Ark’ is buried 130 feet below the Earth’s surface and carved out of a small mountain made of solid limestone. It’s the vision of Robert Vicino, founder of The Vivos Group, and will cater to “preparedness minded families” who prefer to sit out apocalyptic events in style. Whether this small Kansas town likes it or not, a bold new sanctuary for the end times has arrived.
Known locally to Atchison residents for years as “The Caves”, the site was originally under the control of the U.S. Government until recently. It was previously used as a high security storage facility for the US Army and Defense Department. One of the site’s landfills has a confirmed toxic leak, possibly from several years as an ammunition and missile silo. Its design is ideal for storage of highly classified Defense Department documents and files.
