I had to chuckle at this good news piece. A lady in England gets a note from the battle front. He was fighting on the Western Front in November 1917. It was sent to her mother but lost in transit and delivered now, 90 years late. Not particularly valuable news intrinsicly but the fact that a news producer had less space left for bad news makes it good enough for me.

Robo-Jacket can Help Heal
A robotic jacket has been designed to help patients suffering from paralysis heal. By using compressed air the jacket can help strengthen the upper body as the patient recovers. This thing looks neat and I like to think that one day this technology can help with my knee pain.
Sensors at the elbow and wrist allow a healthy arm to control the eight artificial muscles, which are powered by compressed air, on the paralyzed side.
