If all goes according to plan, late today 12-year-old Matt Moniz will reach the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s highest point at 13,796 feet.While this is quite a feat in and of itself, when Matt reaches the top of that inactive volcano, he will have topped off another amazing feat: having climbed the 50 highest peaks in all 50 states, in fewer than 50 days."It's been an amazing experience," Matt told CBS News from his Boulder, Colo. home before his flight to Hawaii. "It’s a big risk, but we take it seriously and make sure all of our gear is right."

This nuclear bunker is named after Marshal Tito. It was built in the ‘70s in Yugoslavia. For many years, this place was a total secret to everybody but a few people. Only in 1992 this bunker was revealed to publicity after Bosnia separated from Yugoslavia and invaded it.
Tito bunker is about 70,000 square feet, there are over 100 bedrooms, offices and conference rooms here. The furniture is wooden and looks neat.
This place can serve its purpose even today, if restocked with supplies. It can allow up to 350 people live inside for 6 months without ever coming outside.

A French ambassador came to South Korea in 1975 and witnessed a real miracle during his visit to Jindo Island. He wrote about it in a French newspaper, and since then the Moses Miracle became well-known all over the world.
Twice a year people who live on Jindo Island witness a real wonder. During a low tide Jindo is connected with Modo Island for approximately 1 hour. A land path 2.8 kilometers long and 40 meters wide appears as water goes away, and people celebrate a festival of the Moses Miracle. This natural phenomenon attracts tourists from different countries.
Princess Juliana International Airport is located on the island of St. Maarten shared by two nations: the French and the Dutch. This airport is famous all over the world because it is too close to the Maho Beach. People who go there always see airplanes that fly just above their heads when entering the airport.
This airport is unique. Its runway is very short, only about 2,130 meters. This is what forces incoming airplanes to low over the beach, and this is what attracts plane spotters from all over the world. They can easily shoot spectacular images of incoming airplanes and get adrenaline while an aircraft is landing under manual flight control, because the airport doesn’t have a system of automatic landing.
Subtle humor and vivid imagination is what makes Mark A. Fredrickson’s illustrations so amazing. In his artworks he seems to laugh at politics and well-known people.

It is a very topical issue today when the summer heat came in force.
These pictures were taken in New York in 1953 and show children having fun with a fire hydrant and fighting with a heat wave back then. I guess, not much has changed since then, I would love to do this too. It feels good, plus it is fun.

I never saw armors created for cats and mice. Canadian artist Jeff de Boer decided that animals can also be gladiators and medieval knights, thus they should have their own defense costumes. It took him from 10 to 100 hours to create each armor. Jeff used silver, wood and bronze for his art works that cost up to $2000 per unit. The funny fact is that this artist actually tried to dress a cat in one of his costumes but failed, as the animal scratched him. Good, he didn’t repeat this dressing experiment with mice.

The story of this six-year-old boy from Alabama is unbelievable. Gabe Marsh was born with birth defects. He had no legs and only one arm. He was lucky to be adopted by Marshes family, who accepted over 60 children with “special needs”. One thing Ann and Ed Marshes doubted about was the ability of Gabe to swim, as most kids who had been through their home were members of the Guntersville swim team. It took Ann by surprise to see Gabe swimming last summer. Since then he has managed to improve his results, and he now swims for the Guntersville swim team.
