The INSIDER Summary: The 2017 Burning Man Festival just wrapped up in Nevada.  Miki Agrawal, the woman who founded period underwear company Thinx, was there. During the festival, Agrawal gave away her breast milk to other adults. She said people used it as a "hangover cure" and to make lattes. Nevada's annual Burning Man Festival is known for its outlandish outfits, art installations, and attendees. 

But at this year's festival, one participant did something that seems wild even for Burning Man... Читать дальше...

Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau never thought much about big game hunting. In fact, the two photojournalists-turned-filmmakers, who have been a couple for years, didn’t even know how each other felt about the controversial sport.

Then almost four years ago, Schwarz was on his computer when he came across a “trophy shot” — a photo taken of a hunter next to the animal he or she has just killed. Schwarz shouted his displeasure, which fell on deaf ears as Clusiau didn’t see any problem with it. Читать дальше...

Hurricane Irma has brought significant damage to much of the Caribbean as it's barreled towards South Florida. 

One of the islands in the path of the "potentially catastrophic" Category 5 hurricane was Necker Island, the British Virgin Island retreat belonging to billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson. 

Earlier this week, Branson announced that he and his team would be riding out the storm in the main house's wine cellar. 

Following the storm's hit on the island... Читать дальше...

The U.S. Marine Corps air and ground attack operations will be fortified by a new high-tech, heavy-lift helicopter designed to triple the payload of previous models, maneuver faster and perform a wider range of missions by the early 2020s, a Pentagon announcement said.

When Rockstar Games isn't meticulously crafting a new entry in the "Grand Theft Auto" or "Red Dead Redemption" video game series, the studio rarely makes other games. There are the occasional exceptions, like "Bully" and "Table Tennis" (really!), but Rockstar tends to focus on its heaviest hitters: "Grand Theft Auto" and "Red Dead Redemption."

Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former chief strategist, said the Catholic Church's opposition to Trump's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — which Bannon said he disagrees with — is motivated by an "economic interest" in "unlimited illegal immigration."

"Unable to really — to come to grips with the problems in the church, they need illegal aliens — they need illegal aliens to fill the churches," Bannon said in an... Читать дальше...

There is no shortage of commentary on what should be done about North Korean weapons programs. Op-eds in major news outlets variously advocate for talks, a strategy of deterrence combined with progress on humanitarian and economic issues, and even regime change.

But while rhetoric about North Korea heats up, the abstract talk about military options, sanctions, and engagement obscures the people at the center of it all: millions of ordinary North Koreans.

Jaguar

Car buffs debate everything and usually agree on nothing. But on one matter there is consensus: The Jaguar E-Type is the most beautiful car ever crafted by human hands on Earth.

The elegant, sporty Jag was produced for a surprisingly long time, from 1961 to 1975. Seeing one in the flesh is as showstopping now as it was when Lyndon Johnson was president. No less an authority than Enzo Ferrari pronounced it the best-looking vehicle of all time.

The car ran on petrol,... Читать дальше...

One of the most consistent policy promises President Donald Trump made on the campaign trail to the White House was slashing corporate taxes to 15%. Now, it seems like Republicans are backing off that goal as they prepare to unveil their plan to overhaul the tax code.

In a forum discussion with The New York Times, House Speaker Paul Ryan said the "goal" for the corporate tax rate is now in the mid- to low 20s, making no mention of the 15% Trump and other Republicans have suggested. Читать дальше...

When Los Angeles high school students Eduardo Cho and Kimberly Carrillo showed up to the set of their short film “Dumpster Diving,” they did not expect to see that the cast included the likes of Seth Rogen, James Franco, Nick Kroll, Hannah Simone, and Michael Pena.

The students were told they would be getting the chance to work “with professionals in the film industry,” but the reality was even greater than anyone could’ve expected.

As studies continue to find health risks involved with playing football, the league has made changes with the stated goal of making the game safer.

No play on the field has changed more in this regard than the inevitable collision of receiver and defender. Because of the long-term ramifications of hits to the head, receivers are now protected from hits while defenseless and from hits to the head and neck.

While this produced fewer cringeworthy hits... Читать дальше...

We Are The Mighty

The 107-country Outer Space Treaty signed in 1967 prohibits nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons from being placed or used from Earth’s orbit. What they didn’t count on was the U.S. Air Force’s most simple weapon ever: a tungsten rod that could hit a city with the explosive power of an intercontinental ballistic missile.

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. used what they called “Lazy Dog” bombs. These were simply solid steel pieces, less than two inches long, fitted with fins. Читать дальше...
