LONDON (Reuters) - A cluster of new skyscrapers transforming the London skyline are often blamed for spoiling the view. Now one has been accused of "melting" a car. A motorist said intense sunlight reflected from the "Walkie Talkie" - one of several flashy towers under construction in The City, London's historic financial district - warped his Jaguar which he had parked across the road. The skyscraper's developers said they were seeking to rectify the problem which they blamed on the position of the sun at certain times of day. "The phenomenon is caused by the current elevation of the sun in the sky. It currently lasts for approximately 2 hours per day, ...

Bigger and healthier: European men grow 11cm in a century

LONDON (Reuters) - The average height of European men grew by a surprising 11 centimeters from the early 1870s to 1980, reflecting significant improvements in health across the region, according to new research published on Monday. Contrary to expectations, the study also found that average height accelerated in the period spanning the two World Wars and the Great Depression, when poverty, food rationing and hardship of war might have been expected to limit people's growth. The swift advance may have been due to people deciding to have fewer children in this period, the researchers said, and smaller family size has previously been found to be linked to increasing average height. ...
Why Miley Cyrus Performance at VMA is important – Global Mind Control (Interesting)

Why is Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMAs important to our nation? Simply stated, Global Mind Control. It is not always the effect on the children of America. This is a global conspiracy and they need the U.S. to look like The Great Satan in the eyes of other nations. Our celebrities are used as symbols to rally the forces of war. Kali, consort of Shiva, symbolizes the “Time of Death”; The Black One. Once Kali had destroyed all the demons in battle, she began a terrific dance out of the sheer joy of victory. The unleashed form of Kali often becomes wild and uncontrollable. Kali was so much involved in the killing spree that she got carried away and began destroying ...

How Money Helps Us Trust Each Other

ScienceDaily... Aug. 27, 2013 — What makes money essential for the functioning of modern society? An international group of researchers from Switzerland, Italy and the U.S. have shown through an experiment how money helps modern societies prosper by fostering cooperation among strangers. As a species, human survival depends on cooperation, which our ancestors developed by banding together in small, close-knit groups of individuals who thrived by reciprocating help over time. But this evolutionary recipe for success seems at odds with modern societies, composed of millions of individuals who are strangers to each other. Prof. Gabriele Camera and his colleagues devised a series of ...

British man turns the tables on telemarketers by charging them to call him YahooNews These days, Lee Beaumont is perfectly happy to get a call from a telemarketer. In fact, he’s the one making a profit from the unsolicited sales calls. The BBC reports that Beaumont became so sick of getting calls from marketing companies that he changed his phone number settings so that incoming callers have to pay him a small fee to connect. Since changing his number in November 2011, Beaumont says he’s made about 300 pounds ($464) from the calls. Using a service called PhonepayPlus, Beaumont charges incoming callers 10 pence to connect and additional charges for the longer he stays on the ...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A painting by a 37-year-old Louisiana primate who applies color with his tongue instead of a brush has been deemed the finest chimpanzee art in the land. Brent, a retired laboratory animal, was the top vote-getter in an online chimp art contest organized by the Humane Society of the United States, which announced the results Thursday. He won $10,000 for the Chimp Haven sanctuary in northwest Louisiana. A Chimp Haven spokeswoman said Brent was unavailable for comment Thursday. "I think he's asleep," Ashley Gordon said. But as the society said on its website, "The votes are in, so let the pant hooting begin!" — pant hooting being ...

Reuters... The Oxford Dictionaries online on Wednesday announced its annual additions to its tome. Miley Cyrus might be glad to hear that “twerking” made the cut. “Selfie,” “bitcoin” and“srsly” are also on the list. As are the dessert on a stick “cake pop” and “babymoon.” They are now officially things. Also, "buzzworthy" is in. So are "jorts" (denim shorts), "double denim" (wearing denim on denim, regarded as a breach of fashion etiquette) and "squee" (to exclaim with delight). The term "twerking" seems especially well-timed, but it's not new, OED spokeswoman Katherine ...

German law change to 'recognize third sex'
Post Date: 2013-08-27 03:41:32 by Tatarewicz

Local Germany... Germans will soon be legally divided into three genders - those born as hermaphrodites have the right to not identify as male or female. It has been described as a revolution, effectively creating legal recognition of a third sex. The Süddeutsche Zeitung reported on Friday that a change due to come into effect in November would give legal recognition to the fact that intersexual people were not clearly either male or female. Although the law change stops short of actually creating a third sex, it will allow birth certificates to be left blank and for those concerned to make a decision later whether to identify as male, female or neither. "If the child cannot ...
'Let's tax the sun': new Spanish law shocks world press

A new tax on solar power introduced two weeks ago by the Spanish government has been described as "ludicrous" and "stupid" in two leading international publications. US business and finance magazine Forbes pulled no punches in an article titled, "Out of ideas and in debt, Spain sets sights on taxing the sun". It pointed out that Spain "is one of the top countries in the world with respect to installed photovoltaic (PV) solar energy capacity." But the author took an incredulous tone and noted: "Spain is now attempting to scale back the use of solar panels – the use of which they have encouraged and subsidized over the last decade – ...

Underground Las Vegas Home For Sale

C2C... LAS VEGAS -- One of the most recent home listings in Las Vegas is a 16,500 square foot home selling for $1.7 million. However, there is one major catch -- the home is underground. The mysterious subterranean home is almost like a time capsule. The east Las Vegas property has been the subject of whispers for many years, but it has never been open to the general public. It's part palace, part bomb shelter. From the street level, the house at 3970 Spencer St. doesn't stand out from its neighbors, but once you cruise through the iron gates, there are clues such as the 15 or so air conditioning units tucked behind boulders, the curious turbine-driven ventilation portals and ...

Henry Kissinger: Balkanized Syria Best Possible Outcome Jurriaan MaessenExplosiveReports.Com June 24, 2013 Former secretary of state eyes breaking up of current-day Syria into “more or less autonomous regions” In a very recent presentation at the Ford School, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger commented on the current Syrian situation, expressing his preference for a broken-up and balkanized Syria to emerge out of the current Assad-controlled unity (from 19 minutes and 30 seconds onward): “There are three possible outcomes. An Assad victory. A Sunni victory. Or an outcome in which the various nationalities agree to co-exist together but in more or less ...

Centralia is a borough and a near ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 10 in 2010, as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. ... In 1962, a fire started in a mine beneath the town and ultimately led to the town being abandoned. There is some disagreement over the specific event which triggered the fire.

One of the Queen's swans has been found killed and barbecued on the riverbank near to Windsor Castle. The cooked swan's carcass was dumped near Baths Water, and was discovered by Wendy Hermon, 46, a volunteer for charity Swan Lifeline, which cares for sick and injured birds. She described the scene as 'sickening', and admitted she would have been distraught if her young son was with her when she made the grisly discovery after being called out by a council warden last Sunday. "I felt sick when I saw it," she said. "How can someone do that and leave it where they did? I would have been devastated if I had been walking along there with my little boy and he ...

I watched three "bad men" thugs try to steal a notebook from a guy at a McDonalds several months ago. 3 blacks in their late teens to early 20's,all dressed up in stylish designer hoodlum clothes,with the smallest being about 6 fee tall and skinny. The one with the designer shades snatched the notebook from the only Mexican guy in there (I was the only white guy),and ran for the door. What they didn't know (I found out later) was the little Mexican guy was the cook,and friends with all the 200+ lb black girls that worked there. A couple of these black girls tackled him in the vestibule as he was running out,and had him down on the floor beating the snot out of him before ...
