If there is worse than being treated like an animal, it's this. Mentally handicapped Chinese workers are treated worse than animals as they are enslaved to work in a Chinese sweatshop without pay and are isolated from the outside world. The sweatshop requires the workers to a very rigorous and grueling work without even protection from dust and bacteria. And the worst part? Being beaten regularly when found to be working slowly or have plans to escape. This is indeed going against human rights and protection of mentally handicapped people. The higher ups should be doing something about this!
Although it lasted only for six months, Niagara Falls stopped after flowing continuously for over 12,000 years. It happened in June 1969 when U.S. Army Corp of Engineers was improving the health of the American Falls by diverting the 60,000 gallons flow of the Niagara River away to the Canadian side of the border. They built a 600ft dam across the river and removed a big amount of rocks from the falls base. American engineers also made geological testing to assure that all other stones were safe.
Niagara Falls was finally re-watered on November 25, 1969 when engineers blew up their dam. Over 2,500 onlookers were witnessing this historic occasion.
You can also see amazing images of the eerie calm at the falls shared by Russ Glasson from Connecticut and video after the jump.

Would you do this at - 36C? I would never do it, I simply couldn't. But these people from a local club in Krasnoyarsk went swimming in the Yenisei River on December 12, while the air temperature was -36C. The Yenisei River goes through portions of northern Russia and Mongolia before depositing into the Arctic.
