Watch This: To a Computer Program, Your Heartbeat is Visible in the Color of Your Face

Did you know your face actually turns slightly red each time your heart beats, when fresh blood pumps through it? Neither did I, and that’s because it’s so slight that our visual perception system doesn’t pick up on it. Ah, but what if you could use a computer program to magnify the changes so they become visible? That’s just what computer scientists at MIT did, and the result is fascinating: watch the video above (starting at 1:25) and see how with every heartbeat, a man’s face turns tomato red, then fades to a pallid yellow. The program is so precise that it can accurately calculate a person’s heart rate from the color changes.

The Game of Life, by Huzheng.

Hello everyone, this is my first finished work. It is a picture about reflections of life, where I want to go after I die,and what is the most valuable in life, But to God it is just a mere game, something small to gamble upon. Just a cycle of trifling moment. Therefore regardless of what we go through in the future, let us face each day with happiness. I hope you will like this picture.

Cube Tube - Chill without the spill

Cube Tube is a vertical ice cube tray that prevents you from spilling water while transporting a full tray of water to your freezer. It also provides the user better control while dropping the ice into a drink. Just fill the tube, insert the divider, seal the tube and freeze. Once it's frozen, hit the flexible bottom against a hard surface. This will loosen up the ice to be pulled out (and probably relieve some stress). The tube is designed with a slight draft to make pulling the ice out easier. More pics here via

Can Honey Go Bad or Make You Sick?

It is very unlikely the honey was bad. Properly stored, honey can last many years without even any degradation of flavor, let alone spoiling. In the extreme, honey can last centuries, though the flavor and color will be affected the longer it is stored. That being said, it is possible for honey to go “bad” if improperly stored, though that depends somewhat on what you mean by “bad”. Continue reading here.
