Main Article: Scientists argue over possible future advancements in prosthetics

Today at the yearly Scientific Experimental Exposition, where it has reached it's third and final day, top scientists from around the world argue possibilities of prosthetics advancement after a convention goer asked questions regarding the theories of "cybernetic advancements" and their state today in the world of medical science. One expert, Professor Tondra Nunes, argues that in the next twenty years cybernetic advancements like in several sci-fi shows today would be very common. "Think about seeing several people walking around in a plaza, many if not all with some sort of replacement part or enhancement to their current body in the form of cybernetic transplants. These augmentations wouldn't even have to be visible in the body, as it is possible and even in practice today that small electronic enhancements are being made to the human brain. Many of these are limited to enhancing older or crippled receptors in the brain and making them more responsive, however the technology is there and opens the path towards more." With these words in mind, keep looking out for the men with cybernetic arms; they may just be right around the corner!

Main Article: Study Shows Cats Are Possible Threat To Wildlife

In nations worldwide, domesticated cats are killing trillions of animals each year. The main offenders are stray and feral cats, however the authors of the study tell us that we should try to keep a hold of our own pet cats anyways, as it will still lessen the impact.

It was concluded that more small animals are dying in the claws of feline predators than they are in road accidents and exposure to poisons.

Impact on mainland areas is harder to chart, however it is still significant, as domestic cats are in fact blamed with the extinction of 33 species, and possibly more in the future.

Birds, mice, shrews, voles, squirrels, and rabbits are the mammals that are most likely to be killed by cats at any given time.
