An Australian couple decided to take a beach holiday earlier this month. When they returned to their Melbourne home, they were surprised to see police at their house. The police thought the couple had been murdered!
Roy and Heather Ostell, aged 63 and 58, decided to go to the beach for the weekend. They didn't tell their daughter Angela, who went to their house. She saw that the house was a mess and the dog was in the yard.
Angela was worried and called the police. The police were about to talk to reporters when the couple came back. The police had already begun tearing up the patio to look for evidence.

Heather Ostell said she and her husband didn't know about all the fuss.
"We haven't had the radio on. I mean we've just been down at the beach having a wonderful time," she said.
The couple had arranged for a neighbor to feed their dog. And the reason Heather didn't call her daughter? "Would you believe we forgot the charger?"
The police said they were just happy to get the good news.(STAFF WRITER, WITH AFP)
本月初，一對澳洲夫婦決定到海邊度假，當他們度假結束回到墨爾本的家中時，出乎意料地發現有警察在他們家中，因為警察以為這對夫妻被謀殺了！
六十三歲的羅伊．奧斯特和他五十八歲的妻子海瑟決定到海邊去過週末，但他們沒有通知他們的女兒安琪拉，結果安琪拉到了他們家，發現房子裡面一團亂，他們養的狗也跑到院子裡。
安琪拉很擔心於是打電話報警，奧斯特夫婦返家時，警方正準備對記者說明案情；警方為了尋找證據，甚至動手拆挖陽台。
海瑟．奧斯特說，他們夫妻倆不知道發生了這場烏龍。
她說：「我們沒有聽廣播，因為我們一直在海灘上享受美好的時光。」
這對夫妻請鄰居幫忙餵狗。至於為什麼沒有告知女兒？海瑟說：「若說我們忘了帶充電器，你會相信嗎？」
警方表示，兩人都平安無事再好也不過了。

A document long considered an unofficial copy of the “Magna Carta” has been identified as a rare original issued by King Edward I in 1300. Tucked away in Harvard Law School’s library, the manuscript was acquired in 1946 for a mere US$27.50. Medieval history professors from King’s College London used ultraviolet light and spectral imaging to analyze the faded text. They found that the handwriting, wording, and word order perfectly match those of the six other surviving charters from that year. The Magna Carta was the first document to formally assert that the king is subject to the law. It remains a

A groundbreaking AI-powered pen developed by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), could revolutionize the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. This innovative device detects subtle changes in handwriting, a key indicator of the neurodegenerative disorder. The pen uses magnetic ink and a specialized tip to convert hand movements into electrical signals. These signals are then analyzed by an AI system, which can distinguish Parkinson’s-related handwriting patterns from healthy ones with over 95% accuracy. This low-cost, accessible technology holds promise for widespread screening, particularly in areas with limited medical resources. By enabling early detection and intervention, the
