If you're a seasoned wine drinker, you know the horror of accidentally staining lighter fabrics with those pesky drips running down the bottle.

But now, thanks to a physicist at Brandeis University, we may never have to undergo that stressful situation ever again.

Daniel Perlman, an inventor and biophysicist, has spent the last three years trying to develop a drip-free wine bottle. Though there are already patented devices that you can attach to the wine bottle to prevent drips, Perlman viewed them as unnecessary steps to an easy-to-solve problem.

By watching slow-motion videos of wine being poured, Perlman noticed that the liquid tended to stick to the bottle's neck because the glass is hydrophilic. He then figured out that by cutting a groove in the wine bottle's lip, it prevented the liquid from dribbling down the neck.

According to officials at the university, the wine bottle design hasn't changed much in the 200 years since it was invented, making Perlman's invention revolutionary indeed.

Perlman is currently in negotiations with bottling companies for the adoption of the design, bringing an end to the centuries-old problem of drips.

We'll drink to that.

Ibn Ali Miller has received mountains of praise since a video of him breaking up a street fight between two teenagers has gone viral.

The video, which includes a crowd of other youths encouraging the brawling teens, shows Miller marching up to the group and demanding that they stop fighting and work out their problems as men.

"You're almost men, you're not kids no more," says Miller. "Start acting like it. You're going to get nowhere like this."

Though some of the teens start snickering at the man's lecture, he reprimands the kids with reminders of their heritage: "I know where you're from, humble beginnings. Your mom and dad worked hard to get where they're at, yo."

He then turns to another student and says: "Your dad's doing life, you think it's a game out here? It's no game out here. It's real out here, little bro."

The Atlantic City man then eggs the duo into shaking hands and calling a truce.

The video was viewed 33 million times and praised by the likes of Snoop Dogg and LeBron James. Miller was then honored by the city for his noble peacemaking actions.

"A dozen positive lessons could be taught from that four-minute video alone," Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian said in a statement. "He fearlessly spoke so much truth to those young kids. We need more adults in the world that are willing to step in to help pull back our youth from the edge."

Thai surgeons on Monday performed an emergency operation to avoid breaking the "Bank" -- the nickname of a sea turtle who had ingested 915 coins that were cracking its shell.

Veterinarians in Bangkok operated on the 25-year-old female green sea turtle who had been inadvertently fed a diet of coins by luck-seeking tourists. Surgeons made a 4-inch incision in Bank, removing 11 pounds of coins that had cracked part of its shell -- causing a life-threatening infection.

Many Thais believe throwing coins on turtles will bring longevity, and nearly a thousand tossed coins at Bank in her pool in the eastern town of Sri Racha.

Typically, a green sea turtle has a lifespan of around 80 years, said Roongroje Thanawongnuwech, dean of Chulalongkorn University's veterinary faculty. It is listed as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Five surgeons from Chulalongkorn University's veterinary faculty patiently removed the coins over four hours while "Bank" was under general anesthesia. The stash was too big to take out through the incision they had made, so it had to be removed a few coins at a time. Many of them had corroded or partially dissolved.

"The result is satisfactory. Now it's up to Bank how much she can recover," said Pasakorn Briksawan, one of the surgical team. While recovering in Chulalongkorn University's animal hospital, the turtle will be on a liquid diet for the next two weeks.

Bank was brought in to veterinarians by the navy, which found her ailing in her seaside hometown.

It was only after a detailed 3D scan that veterinarians pinpointed the weighty and unexpected problem. As well as the coins they also found 2 fish hooks, which were also removed today.

The surgery team leader said Monday that when she discovered the cause of the turtle's agony she was furious.

"I felt angry that humans, whether or not they meant to do it or if they did it without thinking, had caused harm to this turtle," said Nantarika Chansue, head of Chulalongkorn University's veterinary medical aquatic animal research center.

Thai media began publicizing the turtle's tale last month after she was found, and in response, some 15,000 baht ($428) in donations was raised from the public to pay for her surgery.

CNN/ORC poll: Most back special prosecutor for Russia investigation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
About two-thirds of Americans say a special prosecutor should investigate contacts between Russians and Trump campaign associates, according to a new CNN/ORC poll, and 55% say they are at least somewhat concerned by reports that some connected to the Trump campaign had contact with suspected Russian operatives.

North Korea's missile program is evolving, experts say, as the countrydevelops and produces missiles at a faster rate, and deploys them in ways which potentially help evade new and existing defenses.

"They did a launch a month ago, they're now launching (more) in 30 days, that's a third of the time they used to need," Carl Schuster, Hawaii Pacific University professor and former director of operations at the US Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Center told CNN.

On Monday, North Korea launched four intermediate-range missiles into the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, three of which landed within 200 nautical miles of Japan's coastline and the country's Japan's exclusive economic zone.

It came less than a month after North Korea launched the Pukguksong-2,a new type of missile which uses solid rocket fuel which allows for faster fueling before launch.

Just over five months earlier, they fired three missiles more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) into Japan's air defense zone.

"There's two ways to look at it -- one, they're quicker at doing the (launch) set up (and) they're quicker at making the missiles and transporting them," Schuster said.

"Keep in mind if they're doing a test shot you want to keep some (missiles) in reserve in case you go to war, so you're shooting a missile that is operationally spare. That means their missile stockpiles are larger than they were before."

Can North Korea overwhelm THAAD?

Not only is North Korea producing more missiles, their techniques are getting more advanced.

Jeffrey Lewis, adjunct professor at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, told CNN these launches were, in fact, North Korea's way of signaling that they're not testing missiles anymore.

"They're testing the units that fire the missiles. Can you fire them all at once to overwhelm a missile defense?" he said.

"This is the sort of behavior you see from a state that is planning to deploy nuclear weapons to its military units. That's a change that's important."

North Korea announced last September it had successfully detonated a nuclear warhead capable of being mounted on ballistic missiles, however some analysts doubt that claim.

Recent missile tests come as South Korea pushes to deploy a US-made THAAD missile defense system as a deterrent to any North Korean launches.

Lewis said multiple missiles fired simultaneously could be a technique to avoid THAAD, which stands for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense. "That's a basic missile defense countermeasure," he said.

"It's just harder for something like THAAD to deal with four targets at once rather than one. If you plan to use a nuclear missile on a target in South Korea, you want to fire them all at the same time."

Warning against South Korea drills

Most experts said North Korea's missile launch on Monday was in retaliation for the start of South Korea's annual military drills with the United States on March 1, also known as Foal Eagle.

"North Korea was looking for them to be scaled down somewhat so this maybe some way of expressing their discontent and warning the US and South Koreans that they are not going to tolerate being pushed around by large intimidating exercises," Josh Pollack, editor of the Nonproliferation Review told CNN.

Lewis said North Korea was demonstrating that any US or South Korean invasion would be met with nuclear force.

"The fact that they programmed against the US exercises is a message that now that they have nuclear weapons, on the first day of (a) war, they're not going to sit. They're going to use them," he said.

Launch likely to infuriate China

The launch comes as China, North Korea's closest international ally, convenes its annual National People's Congress in Beijing.

"They won't be happy," Pollack said. "(North Korea) wants to signal they do not feel the need to provide formal warning to the Chinese and show deference to them anymore (although) they may be doing it in private."

It is just the latest example of Pyongyang antagonizing Beijing in the past six months.

In September, during China's big international moment at the G20 in Hangzhou, North Korea fired three missiles into the Sea of Japan.

In February, North Korean agents were accused of murdering the exiled half-brother of Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Nam, who was widely considered to be under China's protection. North Korea denies any involvement.

"They don't care (about China)," Lewis said. "There's always been a kind of relationship of coercion or bullying (between the two) ... It's fairly standard for North Korea to find that infuriating."
