Following Google executive Alan Eustace's supersonic skydive, physicist Dr Simon Foster examines the possibility that such feats might one day become commonplace Google executive Alan Eustace took the world by surprise when he broke Felix Baumgartner's record by leaping over 41 kilometres from the edge of space. Unlike Baumgartner's 2012 jump, Eustace's supersonic skydive took place out of the media spotlight, with little fanfare. According to Dr Simon Foster, a physicist from Imperial College London, the key difference between the two jumps was that Baumgartner used a capsule to make his ascent, whereas Eustace relied on a high-altitude, helium-filled balloon "I ...

The death sentence sparked U.S. and European Union condemnation and the government of President Hassan Rouhani, who won election last year on promises of liberal reform at home and easing ...

Local/po Swedish police say they will pay a man 16,000 kronor ($2,200) in damages after much of the alcohol they confiscated from him was stolen, while many of the bottles they returned were filled with water. Police suspected the man had contravened alcohol laws after he returned from a trip to Germany with large quantities of wine, beer and spirits. They raided his home in April 2007 and confiscated the alcohol. Four years later, the charges against him were dropped. But when he was reunited with the consignment, the owner of the alcohol quickly realized that a lot of it was missing, while some of the wine, beer and cider had passed its best-before date.

For the last few months, massive holes have been mysteriously appearing in parts of Russia. Now, some scientists have an interesting theory that would connect famous ship disappearances in the famed "Bermuda Triangle" to the Siberian mystery holes. A study released by Science in Siberia, a weekly journal from the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, suggested a possible tie between the two faraway incidents, according to the Siberian Times. Scientists suspect the Siberian craters were created by underground methane deposits that were trapped beneath the surface, exploding upward when permafrost melted that was trapping it.

RT: What are the usual measures to control airport staff and an airport’s readiness for a flight? Ron Bishop: You see, what they do, is they screen employees very well, they also do drug testing to make sure they are not on any kinds of drugs, they make sure that they do a background check to ensure that none of this is habitual, that they are not used to doing this. Although this is quite concerning because if ...

Preparing for a real-life gunfight isn't the same as training at the range. The mental stress you'll experience when your life is on the line is a survival aspect you can't ignore - but one that few gun-owners know how to add to their training. You see, in a real gunfight, you're not only going to have to shoot to stop your attacker, but you're also going to have to think of other things like... * What's your best escape route? * Is your family in a safe location? * Should I move to another location for better cover? * Are there other attackers in your home? * How many rounds do I have left? Juggling all of these mental decisions at the same time as ...

Poster Comment:A reminder to think before you do something this stupid. I know someone who was riding with her brother and her brother thought he could make it to an exit which was to his right and one which he should have passed up and went on to the next one and came back. Instead he cut in front of a tractor trailer, probably thinking he could beat it, and he didn't. As a result he almost killed his sister, took most of her right arm off iirc. No appointment, no excuse is evenly remotely a justification for doing something this dumb while driving. Some things can’t be undone.

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Motorcycle injuries requiring a trip to the hospital have increased in recent years among older male riders, while injury rates for women and younger men haven't changed, according to a new study from Canada. The spike in injuries among men over 45 suggests that more male Baby Boomers are taking to two wheels as a leisure activity, and they may need training and other injury prevention strategies, say the researchers. "We were surprised by the extent of the increase in injuries among older men motorcycle riders," said Mariana Brussoni of the British Columbia Injury Research and Prevention Unit, who led the study published in the BC ...

Pravda...Some parents may give very unusual names to their newborn babies. In Russia, the choice of names for babies can be very unusual too, for example, Dawn (Rassvet), Moon (Luna), or Oceana. Yet, the choice of parents from the city of Perm shocked the whole country. They called their baby boy Lucifer. Twenty-four-year-old mother explained her choice by the fact that she and her husband were "Satanists". "I wanted to name him Lucian, but my husband wanted another name - Lucifer. My labor was very complicated, and I promised that if the baby survived, we'd call him Lucifer. All went well, so I kept my promise," the boy's mother, Natalia Menshikova told PRM.ru ...
