Oldest Woman in Recorded History

(March 28) – A Kazakhstan woman celebrated her birthday Friday, and her family claims it was quite the milestone: they say she is 130 years old.
Sahan Dosova’s passport and identity card show her date of birth as March 27, 1879, but she does not have a birth certificate because they didn’t exist back when she said she was born.
If she is 130, Dosova would shatter the record for world’s oldest person. A Frenchwoman named Jeanne Calment is the oldest documented person in history, dying at 122 in 1997.
One of Dosova’s 35 grandchildren told the Associated Press that Dosova grew up an orphan, married and had 10 children, 7oldest_woman of which died from cold and hunger. Her husband was killed over a bundle of wood, she said.

How to Make: Jamaican Jerk Chicken

I don’t eat any meat besides fish, but this is a good video of how to prepare Jamaican Jerk Chicken which is one of the foods I’ve grown up on. Considering that the usual videos are in crappy quality, this vid was nice to watch.

The marinading technique can be used for all types of meat as well. (Lamb, Fish, etc.)

Maybe even Veggie Patty, why not.

N.A.S.A.- Gifted (featuring Kanye, Santagold, & Lyyke Li [Official Video]

Vodpod videos no longer available.

This video is pretty ill. It seems like everyone is doing cartoons graphics in their videos right now but I’m not tired of em yet.This video would’ve been better with some cool looking robots, I mean, who doesn’t like robots?

The production on this track is tight. I don’t know who N.A.S.A. is but it would be pretty hard to make a bad song with Kanye, Santagold, and Lyyke Li on the same track. This sounds like something that you could get down to in a space station, I’m a sucker for these futuristic pop songs what can I say.

Lebron Casually Hits A Half Court Shot During Interview

After seeing this, I gotta see this nigga live when he comes to play against the Sixers. I’d go just to see him warm up (no homo).

The 5-minute Prison Workout

The exercise reps he does are called “burpies” and they’re great stay fit, plus you can do it in a pretty tight enclosed space- which helps if your in prison, travel often, or don’t leave your room much like I do. You probably recognize this guy from that show Dirty Jobs, I’ve seen it a few times. Some of the jobs he shows are just reinforcement to get my college degree, cause I don’t wanna do any of the stuff those guys do.

The Haunting in Connecticut trailer

The effects in this movie look dope, I just hope the plot doesnt dissapoint. I love scary movies, but I tend to like gruesome movies with people eating people like 28 days and The Hills Have Eyes. Whenever they try to get too spiritual and spooky they end up seeming foolish and ridiculous.

Next Global Crisis… Water?

Among people who study human development, it is a widely-held view that each person needs about 20 litres of water each day for the basics – to drink, cook and wash sufficiently to avoid disease transmission.

Some people, perhaps incredibly from a western vantage point, are hardy enough to survive in these conditions; but it is not a recipe for a society that is healthy and developing enough to break out of poverty.

“Obviously there are many drivers of human development,” says the UN’s Andrew Hudson.
“But water is the most important.”

At the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), where Dr Hudson works as principal technical advisor to the water governance programme, he calculated the contribution that various factors make to the Human Development Index, a measure of how societies are doing socially and economically.

“It was striking. I looked at access to energy, spending on health, spending on education – and by far the strongest driver of the HDI on a global scale was access to water and sanitation.”
