With nearly 30 installations dotted around the city, magical transformations can be found around every corner. Telephone boxes become aquariums, a 3D elephant lumbers across the ancient Framwellgate Bridge and the frowning exterior of the Home Office’s Millburngate House is reborn as an interactive jukebox. Durham Cathedral, meanwhile, will be illuminated in both old and modern senses with the return of Crown Of Light, a son-et-lumière...

But because Holmes made the statements to detectives Chuck Mehl and Craig Appel...

By Curtis Skinner NEW YORK (Reuters) – Microwave popcorn makers could face a long and difficult task ridding their snacks of trans fats, if a U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposal to ban the additives goes into effect.

The Popcorn Board, an industry trade group, said Americans munch 16 billion quarts of popped...

By Sharon Begley NEW YORK (Reuters) – Most Americans with health insurance will be guaranteed access to mental health services, including for depression and alcoholism, equal to medical and surgical treatment under long-delayed rules issued on Friday by the Obama administration.

Diving into the wilds around Cape Town [ BeritaTerkini ]
Sitting in a forest holding on to a tree, I wait for the big beasts to arrive. All I can hear is the sound of my own breathing, but there is plenty to see: bright orange and blue creatures crawling around the forest floor, or tucked in rocky crevices waving their metre-long antennae at me. The trees are uniformly bronze, as thick as my wrist, rising to a mop of flattened fronds that move in a dream-like manner. My buddy, Matt van der Venter, has settled down too. A few small animals hover in front of us, but we are hoping for something much bigger. Why do people want to fly to Mars, I find...

This unique surgery has resurrected his physical ability, though, and now Eddy is able to walk thanks to what he calls his ‘robot leg’. Such an expression makes one think of science-fiction, with its predictions that we will incorporate all sorts of mechanical...
