London, Sept 11 : A woman marine, who was given a "bionic arm" controlled by thought, has got an odd side-effect of her surgery—she can feel hot and cold sensations in her lost limb.

Claudia Mitchell, who has been nicknamed the ‘Bionic Woman’, lost her arm in a 2004 motorcycle accident.

She volunteered to be fitted with the limb in 2006 after she got frustrated with a standard prosthetic, and thus became the first woman to receive a bionic arm, fitted with a pioneering surgical process called ''targeted reinnervation''.

So, the surgeons took nerves from her shoulder and embedded them under muscle in her chest, enabling her to control her hand’s movement by thought via tiny electrical impulses.

Washington - The words "saving money" and "photo printing" are not often used in the same sentence. That's because photo printers seem to exist to make us poorer.

Ink is expensive. Paper is expensive. Even the electricity to run the printers is expensive. But you don't have to print your own money to get back some of what you might normally spend on printing.

Being smarter about printing and taking some cost-cutting measures can make your photo printer an ally rather than a dreaded drain on the budget.
