A hedge fund billionaire bought his former boss’s Hamptons summer home for more than $40million and then tore it down to make room for a mansion twice its size. David Tepper bought the ocean-facing property in Sagaponack, New York, in 2010 from John Corzine’s ex-wife. He paid $43.5million for Corzine’s former summer getaway – making it the most expensive home in the Hamptons at the time. The following summer, he razed the 6,165 square foot home to the ground in order to build a completely new and much larger mansion. Now, five years later, Tepper’s renovation is finally finished, and the sprawling estate boasts a large pool and tennis court on site as well...

The boys are cousins since their parents are siblings, but they’re also siblings themselves. Since each of their parents shares identical DNA, Jax and Jett both have DNA...

Alfredo Moser's invention is lighting up the world. In 2002, the Brazilian mechanic had a light-bulb moment and came up with a way of illuminating his house during the day without electricity - using nothing more than plastic bottles filled with water and a tiny bit of bleach. In the last two years his innovation has spread throughout the world. It is expected to be in one million homes by early next year. So how does it work? Simple refraction of sunlight, explains Moser, as he fills an empty two-litre plastic bottle. "Add two capfuls of bleach to protect the water so it doesn't turn green [with algae]. The cleaner the bottle, the better," he adds. Wrapping his face in a cloth he makes...

“Look at them, they can do it so easily. Why can’t you?” You always make the same mistake! How many times do I have to tell you? How. Many. Times.” These were the kinds of words I often heard as a child — usually shouted, with a voice so loud it felt like it came from 500 miles away, even though the person was standing just two feet in front of me. I’d stand there, head down, fighting back tears. And in my mind, I’d start cursing myself: Why am I so stupid? Why can’t I do something so simple? I blamed myself endlessly. Sadly, this kind of treatment was considered normal in the environment I grew up in. No one seemed to realize the deep,...

Our bodies divest themselves of 60 billion cells every day through a natural process of cell culling and turnover called apoptosis. These cells - mainly blood and gut cells - are all replaced with new ones, but the way our bodies rid themselves of material could have profound implications for cancer therapies in a new approach developed by Stanford Medicine researchers. They aim to use this natural method of cell death to trick cancer cells into disposing of themselves. Their method accomplishes this by artificially bringing together two proteins in such a way that the new compound switches on a set of cell death genes, ultimately driving tumor cells to turn on themselves. The...

Earlier this month (13 August), officials from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed that a man had been diagnosed with an extremely rare condition known as amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), which he is believed to have contracted while engaging in the recreational activity at the Lake of the Ozarks. The press release added that the man had contracted the Naegleria fowleri, a microscopic amoeba which is present in freshwater throughout the US. A week later the DHSS confirmed the unidentified man had died after being treated in an intensive care unit. "We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the patient," the agency said in a statement. What is...

A single scratch on the surface of a nonstick pan can put millions of microplastics into food and homes, research suggests. An Australian study — which used light-waves to measure microscopic particles — found just one crack on a Teflon-coated pan released an explosion of tiny toxins. Per-and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, are stick and heat-proof particles used to make millions of kitchenware items in the US. In recent years they have been linked to a host of health problems including several types of cancer, autism and infertility. They are so abundant that a 2020 study found that 99 per cent of Americans have some detectable levels of...

A gunshot to the head inadvertently cured a man of his mental illness. a New York Times story from February 25, 1998, that detailed a 19-year-old man with obsessive-compulsive disorder who shot himself in the head in a suicide attempt and ended up curing the mental illness without causing any other brain damage. The patient, "George," had dropped out of school and quit his job because he washed his hands hundreds of times a day and took frequent showers. From the Times: ''George was also very depressed and told his mother that his life was so wretched that he would rather die,'' Dr. Solyom related. ''She said, 'So look George, if your life is so wretched, just go and shoot yourself.' So...
