A researcher claims to have deciphered the millennia-old Linear A script. After studying for 7 years, Tom Di Mino had an insight about the structure of one sample of Linear A that lead Tom to compare it against an ancestor of Hebrew. Tom created an AI analysis that yielded full translations of Linear A, and correlated against the known Linear B for verification.

The company American Gene Technologies believes it has a drug to cure HIV/AIDS. This is not one of those on-going maintenance drugs. This, they claim in 1000+ pages of FDA filing, is an out-right cure. The drug, AGT 103T, delivers a virus that performs cell and gene therapy.
In AGTâ(TM)s words: âoeGene therapy is a technique that allows doctors to treat a disorder by inserting genes into patientsâ(TM) cells to mitigate the underlying genetic drivers of disease. Human cells can be re-engineered to create highly-effective hunter/killers of invasive pathogens or cancer cells, or reprogramed to produce secretions that provide potent remedies to other disease conditions.â
If FDA approves, then AGT will have the green light to begin phase one clinical trials in January 2020.

iRobot has story and video showing their new robot, a morphing blob that looks like dough that moves by shifting its sides from solid-like to liquid-like states at will, allowing it to pass through cracks by squeezing rather than navigating. iRobot calls the new technique "jamming". Research project funded by DARPA.
