[h=3]Famous for being one of the communist leaders of the Republic of China beginning around World War II, Mao Zedong was a ruler who thirsted for power. In his first five years, he killed about 4 to 6 million by indiscriminately sentencing them to death. His policies also starved about 20 million and on top of that he had numerous enemies of the state executed.[/h]

This miniature ecosystem has been thriving in an almost completely isolated state for more than forty years. It has been watered just once in that time.The original single spiderwort plant has grown and multiplied, putting out seedlings. As it has access to light, it continues to photosynthesize. The water builds up on the inside of the bottle and then rains back down on the plants in a miniature version of the water cycle.As leaves die, they fall off and rot at the bottom producing the carbon dioxide and nutrients required for more plants to grow.

[h=1]Can these gates protect NYC from the next flood?[/h]Right before Hurricane Sandy hit New York City, the venerable investment bank had a novel idea: it barricaded the doors of its downtown Manhattan headquarters with sandbags. After the storm -- when much of Lower Manhattan was flooded and powerless but Goldman was dry and lit up like a Christmas tree -- many New Yorkers had a simple question: Why didn't more places do this?

The text you never want to get on your iPhone

You can crash someone's iPhone with a mere text message.

A nasty computer bug in Apple's iOS allows anyone who sends an iPhone a certain text message -- with specific Latin and Arabic characters -- to shut it down.

The worst part? You don't even need to open the text message. Your device just needs to receive it.
That means anyone can pull off this prank -- and anyone whose mobile number is known by someone else is susceptible.

CNNMoney independently tested the message and can verify it works. You send the special text message -- and the receiving iPhone immediately crashes. It comes back on by itself after 15 seconds.
This isn't devastating, but it is annoying and Apple will make a fix available. But some users have already started complaining that it permanently disables iMessage -- until you delete the conversation.
(One tip to get around this freeze is to use the Photos app to send a text message, then once you're in iMessage, erase the conversation.)

This hack was first discovered by , who think they figured out what's wrong.

Their theory: an error in the way iPhones display incoming messages. Reddit users who experimented with this say the iPhone's notification pop-up has trouble displaying that particular line of code. The device turns itself off so the machine won't completely crash.

But it's difficult to know what's wrong. Apple (AAPL, Tech30) has not yet explained what's happening but said in a statement: "We are aware of an iMessage issue caused by a specific series of unicode characters, and we will make a fix available in a software update."

Condoms were given out at a Canadian university with notes attached promoting safe sex. They were later recalled because the staples used to fasten the note had punctured the condoms.



Must have been a virgin who organized the campaign.
