Penfolds wines health checked
We had our 1989 Penfolds Grange Hermitage uncorked and health checked at a Penfolds Clinic. This is a clever service that Penfolds offers around the world on its 15+ years red wines. Fortunately 5/6 of our bottles survived the process. We went home and drank the one that didn't!

A smart machine to make your favourite beer
A?one-stop-shop where craft beer enthusiasts can simply brew beers without having to be a master brewer. While most beer brewing machines have their body, kegs, and some variable components that require a steep learning curve to be mastered, it combines both the "Brewing Tank" and the "Fermentation Tank" into one machine. Through the LCD screen, tank window, and the app, you can program, monitor, and create a brewing experience in your own kitchen. http://www.igulu.com/

Sensors in collars protect wildlife from poachers
A new system uses ballistic shockwave sensors embedded in tracking collars to help save endangered African elephants. The system sends coordinates to authorities immediately after the sensors detect gunshots. Although elephant poachers attempt to minimize the sounds their weapons produce, high-powered gunshots produce an acoustic shockwave that poachers cannot suppress. This technology can be used to protect more wildlife via detect tracking devices. https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2017/06/07/sensor-detects-shooting-at-elephants-helps-authorities-catch-poachers/amp/
