It's never too late to chase your Dream - Brave Woman

'It's never too late to chase your dream': Woman, 61, to swim 103 shark-infested miles from Florida to Cuba non stop

Most 61-year-olds look forward to retirement - of putting their feet up after a life of work, of days spent playing golf, gardening, looking after their grandchildren.

Diana Nyad is no ordinary 61-year-old. In fact, she is no ordinary woman. For her, nothing is impossible.

Which is why, when she turned 60 she looked in the mirror and decided to fulfil her biggest life regret - to swim the 103 shark-infested miles from Cuba to Florida, non-stop without even a shark cage to protect her.

Sacred Water

Sacred water

In this amazing film, Water, the Great Mystery, we can see that science has made a quantum leap into understanding how mind can be recorded by the most simple element in nature (water) and on the periodic table: H20. If water has memory, and its main component being hydrogen, then the whole universe would have memory. Hydrogen was born between 100 and 1,000 seconds after the big bang. It makes up 75% of the known mass of the universe and now is part of the missing mass equation.

Should Ronald McDonald be forced to retire?

New York – Healthy-eating activists say the 48-year-old "spokesclown" hooks kids on junk food, and are calling on Ronald to hang up his floppy shoes

More than 600 doctors and health professionals have sent a message to McDonald's in full-page newspaper ads: It's time to dump Ronald McDonald, the fast food chain's mascot for 48 years. The anti-Ronald campaign is part of a push to get McDonald's to stop marketing its high-calorie food to kids. McDonald's CEO Jim Skinner is fighting back: Ronald "is an ambassador for good," and he "isn't going anywhere." Customers irked by the ads, says Skinner, have actually flooded his office with votes of support for the clown. Is Ronald's job safe? Read more at news.yahoo.com

What If 200 Million People Go Missing on Saturday?

According to the predictions of Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping, May 21 will be the day of the rapture, when God calls believers to heaven to live in everlasting paradise.

By Camping's estimation, that means the Earth will be 200 million souls lighter by Sunday morning. [Infographic: A Brief History of Doomsday]

While there's no reason to believe that Camping's doomsday predictions are more reliable than the hundreds of failed end-of-the-world predictions throughout history, the loss of 200 million people all at once would be the largest single population decrease in human history. It's safe to say the world would take notice — but the effects of such a mass disappearance would depend on where believers were concentrated. Read more at news.yahoo.com

This Awesome Urn Will Turn You into a Tree After You Die

You don't find many designers working in the funeral business thinking about more creative ways for you to leave this world (and maybe they should be). However, Spanish designer Martin Azua has combined the romantic notion of life after death with an eco solution to the dirty business of the actual, you know, transition.

His Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose and inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once your remains have been placed into the urn, it can be planted and then the seed germinates and begins to grow. You even have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become, depending on what kind of planting space you prefer.

If Humans are so Smart, Why are our Brains Shrinking

If Modern Humans Are So Smart, Why Are Our Brains Shrinking?

John Hawks is in the middle of explaining his research on human evolution when he drops a bombshell. Running down a list of changes that have occurred in our skeleton and skull since the Stone Age, the University of Wisconsin anthropologist nonchalantly adds, “And it’s also clear the brain has been shrinking.”

“Shrinking?” I ask. “I thought it was getting larger.” The whole ascent-of-man thing.

“That was true for 2 million years of our evolution,” Hawks says. “But there has been a reversal.”

Researchers create nanopatch for the heart

When you suffer a heart attack, a part of your heart dies. Nerve cells in the heart's wall and a special class of cells that spontaneously expand and contract – keeping the heart beating in perfect synchronicity – are lost forever. Surgeons can't repair the affected area. It's as if when confronted with a road riddled with potholes, you abandon what's there and build a new road instead. Read more at www.physorg.com

Edison's workshop

Gallery: Edison's Workshop

A tour through Building Number 5, the most important structure at Edison's famed Essex, New Jersey, campus, where the inventor tinkered with audiovisual equipment

Welcome to West Orange in Essex, New Jersey, site of Thomas Edison's famed campus for invention.

The good folks at the Library of Congress took dozens of photos of the site, and thousands of other buildings, in an attempt to preserve our architectural and technological history. What you'll see in the gallery below is a selection of the images from the Built in America collection. The exact date of the photos is unknown, but they were compiled beginning in the late 1960s. While there were nine buildings on Edison's campus, I focused here on Building Number 5, which was built in 1887 and housed the machine shop among other experimental facilities. It's the building you see above on the left.

Library of Congress "View of shop from platform holding two 40-horsepower electric direct-current motors. These provide power for the shop. Left foreground shows a display of Edison storage batteries which had been shown in the entryway of Building No. 6 by the Edison company during the 1930s through 1950s."

This elevator is also powered via the belts and drive shafts which operate the machine tools.
