  A tiny island half a mile off the Cumbrian coast draws visitors with its quirky set-up and rich history. Only three people live permanently on Piel Island, including its king - who runs the only pub there. There is one way on and off Piel Island and that is a 12-passenger open boat operated by Steve Wilcock. He has been the ferryman for the last five years and describes the role as his semi-retirement present. "I'm never the last ferry, if there's 13 [passengers], I'll take 12 and go back for the one," he says. The view from the island spans from Yorkshire to the Lake District, even taking in the Blackpool Tower and the Pleasure Beach's The Big One rollercoaster. "It's the best...

Dreaming of moving abroad to Europe? Not only is that possible, but one place will even pay you a hefty sum to do it. In 2023, Ireland launched its "Our Living Islands" program, which offers to pay participants about $90,000 to move to a select number of its gorgeous isles. "Our coastal islands and their communities are an integral part of the fabric of rural Ireland. They also an integral part of the State's heritage and have a special significance in Irish culture," the Irish government explains about the program. These islands, it added, are located just off the coast; however, they are "cut off daily by the tide" and "are not connected to the mainland by a bridge or causeway, have...

People with missing teeth may be able to grow new ones, say Japanese dentists testing a pioneering drug they hope will offer an alternative to dentures and implants. Unlike reptiles and fish, which usually replace their fangs on a regular basis, it is widely accepted that humans and most other mammals only grow two sets of teeth. But hidden underneath our gums are the dormant buds of a third generation, according to Katsu Takahashi, head of oral surgery at the Medical Research Institute Kitano Hospital in Osaka. His team launched clinical trials at Kyoto University Hospital in October, administering an experimental medicine to adult test subjects that they say has the potential to...

On Sunday, May 8, Germany hit a new high in renewable energy generation. Thanks to a sunny and windy day, at one point around 1pm the country’s solar, wind, hydro and biomass plants were supplying about 55 GW of the 63 GW being consumed, or 87%. Power prices actually went negative for several hours, meaning commercial customers were being paid to consume electricity. Last year the average renewable mix was 33%, reports Agora Energiewende, a German clean energy think tank. New wind power coming online should push that even higher. “We have a greater share of renewable energy every year,” said Christoph Podewils of Agora. “The power system adapted to this quite...

The key to a long and successful marriage has been debated time and time again. While good communication might be one of the common denominators in most cases, a Japanese couple managed to stay married for 2 decades without speaking to each other. And the reason behind their silent marriage is even more surprising. A Japanese husband took the “silent treatment” to a whole new level. The silent treatment involves refusing to engage in verbal communication with an individual attempting to communicate and prompt a response. It is not uncommon to take a communication break following an argument. But can you envision the challenge of being married to a partner who consistently...

Can you imagine being put in a casket while still alive? No, me neither — but supposedly this happened to a woman over 100 years ago. In 1915, Essie Dunbar was pronounced dead by a doctor after suffering a seizure at the age of 30. Like many families do when a loved one has died, they proceeded to plan a funeral for Essie and had her laid to rest in a casket a day after her apparent passing. Essie body was then buried but when her sister arrived late to the funeral, she demanded that her beloved sibling be dug up so she could see her once more. While Essie's sister thought that she'd be greeted with a dead body once the casket was reopened, that was far from what happened...

Your favorite lipstick might be doing more than just adding color, it could be adding poison. A recent scientific study has uncovered alarming results: cadmium, a highly toxic heavy metal, was found in every single lipstick brand and color tested. Cadmium is not just another ingredient to brush off. It’s a known carcinogen and has been linked to serious health risks, including kidney damage, lung impairment, bone demineralization, hormonal disruption, nervous system toxicity, and an increased risk of cancer. What’s most concerning is that this metal doesn’t break down easily, it accumulates in the body over time. So if you're a frequent lipstick user, the exposure adds...

This might sound something like a desert legend, involving a creature that is no bigger than a human hand, with a tail that delivers not just a sting, but liquid gold. Of course, it's not actual gold, but the idea of scorpion venom being the most expensive liquid on Earth has given it a mythical image. Prices of that go up to $39 million per gallon, and perhaps that is the reason why it's easy to see people getting excited about the idea of farming scorpions for profit. This highly potent substance isn't traded in barrels or poured into luxury bottles. Instead, it's carefully collected in microscopic amounts and studied in labs around the world. The high value of this venom doesn't only...

Four teenage girls: Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin, and Bello Eniola figured out a way to use a liter of urine as fuel to get six hours of electricity from their generator.

The idea of using urine as fuel is not new but Bola, Biola, Toyin and Eniola came up with a practical way to put the idea into action and many households can really appreciate this. How It Works As explained on the blog of makerfaireafrica.com website, its process is itemized below; Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen. The hydrogen goes...
