London, Nov 4 : A group of Army wives have found a ‘sexy’ way to help their hero soldiers—pose naked.

A number of women between 23-29 years have posed nude with a bit of their husbands’ military gear for a 2009 calendar titled Garrison Girls.

The move was organised by Sarah Bennett Thurston, a mum-of-three, who claims that she was by the 2003 film Calendar Girls, in which members of the Women’s Institute made a nude calendar.

“Our aim is to raise 64,000pounds. We couldn’t do that with cake sales or raffles,” The Sun quoted her as saying.

She added: “I loved the idea, talked to friends about it and soon had volunteers ranging from a high-ranking officer’s wife to a new recruit’s wife.

London, Nov 4 : While organisms are known for their ability to reproduce, scientists have now successfully created an artificial material that can repeatedly copy itself.

The scientists claimed that a careful designing of these sequences, could enable them to build various structures from them, like microscopic relief maps of the Americas.

Using micrometre-scale particles, scientists showed that when in solution, these particles self-organise into units capable of reproducing.

"While nature teems with organisms that readily reproduce, no one has yet succeeded in making an artificial material that can repeatedly copy itself," New Scientist quoted Paul Chaikin and colleagues at New York University, US, as saying.

London, November 4 (ANI): A Government body in the UK is urging firms to appoint tea monitors so as to ensure that people do not waste water.

Envirowise, funded by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, suggests that firms use teapots instead of making individual cups of tea, and try to re-introduce tea urns to the workplace.
