Researchers may have discovered a mass grave for nearly five dozen 19th century Irish immigrants who died of cholera weeks after coming to Pennsylvania to build a railroad.Historians at Immaculata University have known for years about the 57 immigrants who died in August 1832, but could not find the actual grave. Human bones discovered last week near the suburban Philadelphia university may at last reveal their final resting place - and possibly allow researchers to identify the remains and rebury them.The woodsy site where the bones were found is known as Duffy s Cut. It is named after Philip Duffy, the man who hired the immigrants from Donegal, Tyrone and Derry to help build the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad.The Irish workers were said to hav

Prejudice against Irish Catholics contributed to the denial of care to the workers, historians say.The immigrants were buried anonymously in a ditch outside what is now Malvern.

The World Wildlife Fund is
stanley cup quencher sending Google-financed drones to African national parks to track down illegal poachers. But computer scientist Thomas Snitch believes he can do a better job鈥攂y applying a mathematical model he developed for the military to find insurgents making improvised explosive devices IEDs in Iraq. According to an article in Defense One, Snitch goal is to overcome poaching networks ; advantages in money and manpower. In South Africa Kruger National Park, for instance, the park rangers make $150 per month protecting endangered animals such as the black rhino. Opposing them are networks of poachers who can sell one
stanley termosky rhino horn for $50,000 per kilogram on the black market. Snitch is skeptical of drones for several reasons. For starters, due to certain U.S. laws preventing the export of military-grade drones and State Department restrictions on the quality of the cameras they can use, any drones sent to Africa will be inefficient in surveying a place like Kruger National Park, which covers 7,850 square miles. And, even if a drone happens to spot a poacher, it won ;t be of an

So, what could be learned from Snitch experience with Iraq We looked at every IED explosion over the last five years and pinpointed [the explosions] on the maps, Snitch explained to a group gathered at the University of Maryland in the spring of 2013. On top of that we overlaid
