BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan — The billionaire founder of the Cirque du Soleil show Wednesday blasted off on a Russian rocket to bring his trademark humour and acrobatic energy into the ultra-serious world of space flight.
Guy Laliberte, 50, a Canadian citizen who spent millions from a personal fortune on his two week visit to the International Space Station (ISS), is likely to be the last such "space tourist" for several years.
He blasted off on schedule from Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome, located in neighbouring Kazakhstan, at 0714 GMT alongside a professional Russian cosmonaut and US astronaut
In the 1960s, in response to a leaked KGB video, the CIA spent millions of dollars (the equiv of $75m in modern money) on research into psychic abilities and in particular the principle of remote viewing – the ability to see and describe an object that is hidden from view.
For the show’s main Event, Derren will perform a unique, national psychic experiment with viewers able to take part via the phone or on channel4.com. In it, he’ll get them to attempt match a covered drawing hung in the Science Museum. At the end of The Event, it will be revealed if the drawing matches the images the nation have drawn, Friday 25th September at 9pm.
Take part in Derren’s national remote viewing psychic experiment. Simply concentrate on the photos of the covered picture in the Science museum and use the pen and notepad to draw what comes into your mind. Save and submit your picture and then check back after Friday’s show to see if you can remote view!
If you are considering a Nissan Pathfinder or any other car with an 'independent front suspension', this little commercial should prove to be helpful in making your purchasing decision.
An 'independent front suspension' system, is when one front wheel of a vehicle hits a bump or pothole, it will move up or down to compensate while the other wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each other, and hence the expression.
Watch the attached video, a German commercial for the Nissan Pathfinder, to find out exactly how this works. This gives a moving experience which should benefit your understanding of this piece of engineering. It's arguably the best explanation I've ever seen.
NEW YORK – A veteran New York City news anchor flubs a line and an obscene catch phrase goes viral on the Internet.
Ernie Anastos of Fox affiliate WNYW was bantering with the weatherman Wednesday night when he cheerfully dropped an F-bomb on the air. What he likely intended to say was, "Keep plucking that chicken."
Anastos didn't appear to recognize the error, though co-anchor Dari Alexander's eyes bugged out after he said it.
Just before the flub, Anastos told weatherman Nick Gregory, "It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast," a play on an old chicken commercial.
Videos of the mistake circulated widely online Thursday, as the phrase took on a life of its own.
Fox isn't laughing, though. The vice president and general manager of WNYW, Lew Leone, said he's "disappointed" in Anastos' comment.
Anastos apologized during Thursday's newscast.
"I misspoke during last night's newscast," he said. "I apologize for my remarks to anyone who may have been offended."
Anastos, an Emmy-winning anchor, has been a mainstay on New York's evening news for more than three decades.
