Helium has recently got on the public radar, after a potentially huge discovery of untapped deposits in Tanzania. Now the spotlight is moving to Canada, which may become the next big source of the noble gas.

One company, Weil Group Resources, has just opened a helium-producing plant in a tiny little town called Mankota, in Saskatchewan, and plans to open another one, in Alberta, Reuters reports. The first plant has a capacity to produce 40 million cubic feet annually and costs $10 million. Читать дальше...

Looks can be deceiving.

Except sometimes, they're not.

A growing body of research suggests that people are pretty good at guessing what you're like — how smart you are, your sexual orientation — just by glancing at you.

We dug up some of that disconcerting data and presented it below. Read on to find out what you're unconsciously communicating, whether you like it or not.

How open to new experiences you are

In 2015, scientists asked students... Читать дальше...

When's the last time you spent an hour at the gym and wondered how hard you actually worked out? Turns out, there's a pretty intuitive way to tell — no fitness tracker required.

There's a fun secret hidden inside Google's mobile app.

A former Google employee recently revealed to us that Google hid an unexpected feature — also known as an Easter egg — inside its main app, and that it's surprisingly easy to find. All you have to do is open the Google app, tap the Google logo, and watch while it transforms into cute, colorful animations.

It looks like there are five different versions of the animations, and we were only able to find this on Google's main app ... Читать дальше...

How long until that uncooked chicken in your freezer spoils? Much sooner than that uncooked steak.

After the recent Ataturk airport bombings, I wrote that Turkey is “a country with serious deficiencies in democracy, governance, the judicial system, human rights, the rule of law and – more importantly – security.

It started with a math test.

I was in the eighth grade, sitting at my assigned seat with a pencil and a green sheet of paper in front of me — it was the class final.

Suddenly, my mind went blank. The words and numbers on the page all blurred together and became meaningless. I froze with fear. My heart raced. What was happening to me?

With all the effort I could muster, I raised a shaky hand to ask for the bathroom pass. As soon as I got there, I started crying uncontrollably. Читать дальше...

It's no secret that job interviews are stressful.

Most of the time, they involve you sitting down and basically pitching yourself to a total stranger.

Still, it's important not to let your nerves get to you. That means avoiding certain conversational landmines.

These gems won't just derail your interview, they'll make you seem dumb, lazy, and unprepared.

Here are 25 words and phrases to avoid during job interviews.

Tim Duncan announced his retirement this week after 19 seasons in the NBA.

Duncan goes out as one of the most decorated players in NBA history. But despite having won five championship rings and two MVP trophies, Duncan was somewhat of an anonymous figure in a league that breeds superstars.

Many factors contributed to Duncan's under-the-radar success, from his upbringing, to his unusual longevity in college, and the city where he played home games.

If I were Hillary Clinton, I would pose a challenge to Donald Trump: Let's have much more than the usual three presidential debates.

She should challenge him to debate every week from the end of the Democratic National Convention until Election Day — a series of 14 debates in all.

Clinton's best moments in this campaign have been when she is able to make the case directly to the voters, for herself and against Trump. Her strongest... Читать дальше...

I recently moved to a new apartment and in the process of cleaning out my old bedroom, I discovered what a disgusting human being I have been for the last three years.

I've always thought of myself as relatively clean and organized — I shower daily, launder weekly, and make it a point to never leave food wrappers or dirty dishes lying about. Impressive, no?

And yet. I found dust bunnies that had grown into mutant rabbits under my bed; a bag of dried mascara... Читать дальше...

Amy Truong, 30, is many things.

She's a traveler, based in Hawaii a few months out of the year but steadily making her way across the globe. She's a blogger, sharing stories, photos, musings, and helpful hints on her website, Generic Dreams. And she's an entrepreneur who founded her own travel agency called Up and Explore while continuing to work remotely in software testing as a "digital nomad."

One thing she is not, though, is timid. She's up for anything on her trips... Читать дальше...

Law-enforcement officers in Cleveland are casting a wide net for security threats ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention—including within the city’s homeless populations.

On Tuesday night, police visited at least two encampments in the city, asking homeless people to be on the lookout for outsiders who may be pretending to be homeless, according to Brian Davis, executive director of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.

"Don't boil the ocean," Terry said as he slapped a tall stack of papers on my desk.

"Just tell us what we need to know."

I was staring at a serious problem. To help our firm win a multimillion-dollar consulting contract, I had five days to tell my new boss everything there was to know about airline bankruptcies.

Problem was, I didn't know the first thing about airline bankruptcies.

I barely knew the first thing about anything.

Caterpillar recently reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit over allegedly defective heavy-duty diesel engines; a consolidation of a number of other lawsuits against the company due to inefficiencies in equipment, counter to what was otherwise promised.

Though Caterpillar denies the allegations and has said that to litigate the cases further "would be risky and costly for both sides”, it’s hard to believe their leadership won’t continue to dodge the matter and defend their position. Читать дальше...

Ferrari

Ferraris are usually noted for their incredible sexiness, but the new LaFerrari hypercar, a limited edition with a removable top, is going to be famous for something else.

Its borderline terrifying looks! See above.

We do need to be honest here. The latest version of Ferrari's $1.4 million top-of-the-line car — it won't get an actual name, Ferrari says, until the Paris auto show this fall — kind of looks like the Batmobile. The Batmobile from the old TV show, not to... Читать дальше...

It's expensive to be a woman, and it's not just because it costs a lot to maintain one's appearance.

There's a "pink tax" involved, or a surcharge in which women are sometimes charged more than men are charged for many products.

A study from New York's Department of Consumer Affairs, called "From Cradle to Cane: The Cost of Being A Female Consumer," demonstrated how this is a problem that often plagues females from birth until they're senior citizens. Читать дальше...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on the United States to extradite a Muslim cleric he accuses of being behind Turkey's failed coup attempt.

In a televised speech on Saturday night, Erdogan said as Turkey's strategic partner Washington should meet the demand for the extradition of Pennsylvania-based Fethullah Gulen.

Erdogan said Turkey had never turned back any extradition request for "terrorists" by the United States.

US bond yields are historically low.

Last week, the yields on 10- and 30-year bonds fell to record lows.

Yields fall when bond prices rise amid strong buying by investors. And the price gains for bonds this year have given investors the biggest returns for a comparable period since 1995, according to Bloomberg.

Because the US remains the strongest developed market with positive-yielding bonds across the board, the hunt for yield is sending those yields down to all-time lows. Читать дальше...
