An archaeological dig from last year revealed 365 items from the Viking era, with 60 rare coins as well. Jens Christian Moesgaard, a Danish National Museum spokesman believes that the coins gave a distinctive cross motif attributed to Harald Bluetooth, who brought Christianity over to Norway and Denmark. The coins and other items were discovered by sixteen year old Michael Stokbro Larsen, who was in Northern Denmark with his metal detector. Can you imagine the history with these items? I can just think of what he thought when he discovered how old these items actually were. This is part of the reason why the hobby of metal detecting is so fun and exciting. This teen was just out exploring and found things that were important parts of history and keys to understanding the lives of the Vikings. As Moesgaard states about the Viking era coins, “They are another important piece in the puzzle of history.”

Another Clue to Who The Minoans Were?
Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist discovered the 4,000 year old Palace of Minos on Crete in 1900. He believed the Minoans to be refugees from Northern Egypt who had been expelled by invaders from the South about 5,000 years ago. DNA recently recovered from Cretan caves suggests that the Minoan civilization came from farmers who settled the the islands thousands of years earlier. In 1,500 BC, it is thought that the island of Crete was destroyed by a catastrophic eruption of the Mediterranean island volcano Santorini, along with a subsequent tsunami. The Minoans were recognized as one of the first “high cultures” of Europe, known for their beautiful frescoes, metal-work, and pottery.
New Algorithms To Prevent Networks From Receiving Cyber Attacks
After increasing concerns of cyber security, researchers at North Carolina State University have taken a larger step to protecting the infrastructure of America cyber threats. Dr. Mo-Yuen and Ph.D candidate Wente Zeng developed an algorithm that detects aimed at network control systems. Network Control systems are pathways that connect and coordinate activities between computers and physical devices. They are very important for national infrastructure such as power and transportation. The D-NCSs do not have a centralized brain to coordinate the network’s activities, so they are more vulnerable to attack. They are nervous systems that contain several mini-brains that work together. If a cyber attack were to occur, the algorithm would isolate the infected brain before any further contamination damage can be done.

Artifacts Spanning Centuries Found With Metal Detector
Using a White’s IDX Pro metal detector purchased on a whim, Dan Dennis of Sporting Hill found a massive treasure trove. The pieces date back to the 1700′s on his two acre property. Dennis has a different opinion about the finds though. He believes the finds to be invaluable, even though some of the pieces have a large monetary value.

It’s just a hobby, but it is rewarding too.” Dennis, a self employed furniture designer and woodworker used to metal detect with his father as a form of bonding.
3D Printing Is A Reality Now
Well, the next wave of printing is here…3D printing. I saw a few images of what things can look like after you push a button for what you want and I have to say, the detail is incredible and yet a tad scary. Basically, the printers are connected to the computer and then they slowly make the design by spraying molten plastic in very thin layers, building up a solid object. For example, a tumbler would be created by spraying thousands of rings of plastic on top of each other. Printing, as a slow way of manufacturing, has been around for three decades.
