Charging IPhone with Coffee and Beer

Now, charge your phone with coffee and beer.....
A new device that can charge your mobile phone with a hot cup of coffee or a cold beer mug has been developed by a US company.

The company claims that the two-sided Epiphany onE Puck converts the warmth of your hot cocoa or iced beverage into power for your phone. The lightweight device is portable enough to store in your purse or day bag for emergencies.

The device uses a Stirling engine powered solely by heat disparities to generate the electricity to keep your phone up and running, Gizmag reported.

Stirling engines were actually invented in 1816 as a rival to the steam engine, but its use was limited to low-power applications for a long time.

Epiphany Labs is using modern materials to use the technology in a rather different way. The most obvious evolution comes in terms of size.

The working prototype of the Epiphany onE Puck is not much larger than the bottom of a cup, so it's small enough to carry around easily.

The device has two sides - a blue side for cold drinks and a red side for hot drinks. According to its creators, a hot drink is the optimal way to charge a device.

It comes with a USB port that can charge any device that draws 1000mA or less. This means it can charge iPhones, Androids, iPods and other USB-based devices.

Epiphany Labs claims that, in ideal circumstances, the device would be able to charge your phone at the same speed you would see plugging it in directly to a wall.

It will also work in less-than-ideal conditions, but if you are not placing a fresh hot drink on the Puck, you will have to wait a little longer for your device to receive a full charge.

WORLD SHORTEST WOMAN

Jyoti Amge (born December 16, 1993), a resident of Nagpur, India, is currently the world's smallest woman according to the Limca Book of Records and Guinness Book of Records.

A documentary featuring Amge was broadcast in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 on June 11, 2009 at 21:00 called BodyShock: Two Foot High Teen. She was a guest participant at Bigg Boss 6 - a
winner-take-all television show in India where participants are required to live together in a large house engaging in a variety of 'tasks' as part of the
game-show. As of December 16, 2011, on her 18th birthday,
she has been officially declared the world's smallest woman by Guinness Book of Records with a height of 62.8 cm (24.7 inches). Her restricted height is due to a growth anomaly called achondroplasia.

Sylvester Stallone's Slurred Speech

Sylvester Stallone's slurred speech is actually caused by an accident at birth that caused semi-paralysis in parts of his face

Sylvester Stallone is well known as an actor and especially as an action hero. Some of his most famous movies are Rocky and Rambo. In both, Stallone (whose full name is actually Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone) plays the macho title characters, Rocky Balboa and John Rambo respectively. Stallone may be as famous for his distinctive voice as for his muscular physique. His diction is slightly slurred, slightly accented, and always intimidating.

Maybe you thought it was a side-effect of his intense weight-lifting routine or an act he put on to appear tougher. Neither are correct it turns out. Sylvester Stallone's slurred speech is actually caused by an accident during Stallone's birth. Due to complications, his mother's doctors were forced to use forceps to help deliver little Sylvester. The doctor accidentally severed one of Stallone's nerves in the process causing partial paralysis in the baby's face. The lower left side of his face remains paralyzed today. This includes parts of his lips, tongue and chin. And this is what causes Stallone's trademark snarl and distinctive voice.

Morocco's Climbing Goats:

Morocco's Climbing Goats:

Goats on trees are found mostly only in Morocco. The goats climb them because they like to eat the fruit of the argan tree, which is similar to an olive. Farmers actually follow the herds of goats as they move from tree to tree. Not because it is so strange to see goats in trees and the farmers like to point and stare, but because the fruit of the tree has a nut inside,
...

which the goats can't digest, so they spit it up or excrete it which the farmers collect. The nut contains 1-3 kernels, which can be ground to make argan oil used in cooking and cosmetics. This oil has been collected by the people of the region for hundreds of years, but like many wild and useful things these days, the argan tree is slowly disappearing due to over-harvesting for the tree's wood and overgrazing by goats.

Walking Through Doorways Causes Forgetting

Walking Through Doorways Causes Forgetting.

New research from University of Notre Dame Psychology Professor Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses.

“Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away,” Radvansky explains.
...

“Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a different room is difficult because it has been compartmentalized.”

The study was published recently in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
