Greek Philotimo Still Exits Today

Today at noon, at Victoria Square in Athens, a car stopped outside the entrance of an apartment building. This very old lady, 92 years old, walking with a cane got out of the car. The driver, probably her daughter, opened the trunk of the car for her and helped her get some bags out. You would think this old lady was a resident of the area and just came home from a Sunday drive with her children and she did some groceries for herself from her little pension. Turns out it was  more than that. The bags were filled with sandwiches, cakes, poached eggs, bottles of water and other snacks and necessities. And it wasn't for herself. Victoria Square is a square where a lot of refugees gather, especially now that many are stranded because of the border closings. The old lady handed the bags to the volunteers who were preparing food at the time for the refugees. After handing it to them to be distributed to the refugees, she quietly left. This is Greece. Despite all the destitution, d

New Mexico's Alien Nation Area 51

SCIENCE LIFE   RECAPPING NEWSTORIES Roswell Daily Record July 8, 1947 What really happened on that warm July, Roswell night in 1947? Surely you have heard of the incident in Roswell New Mexico that has remained a controversy till this day. There is no question that something crashed to the ground that night, but there seems to be no hard drawn conclusion among the different theories. Was it a weather balloon or an alien UFO? An abundance of people still say that the military and government has many questions they've yet to answer in relation to the Roswell crash. They claim there was an enormous conspiracy to cover up what really happened. Whatever it was that crashed that night left a trail of debris reaching almost a mile long and several hundred feet in width. First discovered by a local ranch manager, the debris was recovered by the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office with Major Jesse Marcel at the lead. Immediately upon their return to the sout

Meet the 3M Motor Home

The Elemment Palazzo, a $3m land yacht Announcing the world’s most expensive anything is a surefire way to attract attention, but when the thing is a $3M motor home, questions arise beyond the obvious “Why?” After all, designers create all manner of prototypes, and mythical potentates from Dubai are always rumored to be buying them.                        Yet in this case, the factory is up and running and ready to take your deposit money. The recreational vehicle, or RV, is the Elemment Palazzo – the capitalization an allusion to its maker, the Austria-based  Marchi Mobile , founded by former trucking magnate Mario Marchi. This mobile mansion will be built on a Volvo chassis and be powered by a Volvo engine for easy servicing. That trucking technology is essential, as there will be a hefty payload of marble, rose gold and hubris to haul around once Marchi Mobile locates a buyer for its Leviathan. The Palazzo’s sweeping lines, a heroic attempt at making a

Old Age Ain't No Place For Sissies

Here's Something that we'll all do today, regardless of our social status, ethnic background, or political party. We'll get older. Sure, some people handle it better than others, but it happens to all of us. We all watch our skin migrating south like a flock of eager geese, our hairs fading to pale imitations of what they once were, our joints creaking like rocking chairs. That's just life. Aging, though, has its benefits.Wisdom comes with age (if we can remember what we are talking about). We become role models for the younger generations (if they can see past our uncool clothes). We become respected, admired members of society. (Or at least we've been around long enough to avoid obsessing about what society thinks.) This article is a celebration of the inevitable - and a tribute to bold souls who refuse to take growing older lying down. (sitting down works just as well.) So pull up a recliner, grab the bifocals, and enjoy a fresh look a

Heinz Ketchup World's Favorite

It's no wonder Heinz Tomato Ketchup is the world's favorite. Only the firmest, juiciest, freshest tomatoes make it into our bottle.

An Elevator that will Reshape Skylines

Magnetically Levitating Elevators Could Reshape Skylines They go up, down, and all around ThyssenKrupp Maglev Elevators Open Up New Possibilities In Building Design With the debut of passenger elevators some 150 years ago, cities were forever changed. Freed from the tyranny of stairwells, architects built as high as they liked. That is, until they ran into another barrier: the weight of steel cables. A new elevator design from German company ThyssenKrupp may solve that problem by trading cables for tracks that employ magnetic levitation, or maglev. Unconstrained by a linear pulley system, the cars--to be tested in Germany next year--will travel higher and in new directions, moving horizontally and even diagonally. The system, called Multi, may help make possible buildings of unprecedented size and energy efficiency, like this conceptual Edison Tower. Patrick Bass, CEO of ThyssenKrupp North America, says supertall, po
