Marrying after the age of 32 increases the risk of divorce by 5% each year, according to data from the National Survey of Family Growth analyzed by Wolfinger. The study reveals a U-shaped relationship between the age of marriage and divorce risk, with the lowest risk occurring in the late twenties to early thirties. Wolfinger suggests that people who delay marriage until their thirties may inherently have traits that make them less successful in marriage.

Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg broke a world record by flying the solar-powered aircraft Solar Impulse 2 across the Pacific from Japan to Hawaii, covering 5,000 miles in a five-day non-stop journey. The plane, equipped with 17,000 solar cells, embarked on a planned 12-leg global trip starting from Abu Dhabi. However, the journey was halted due to severe battery damage incurred during the Pacific crossing, grounding the plane in Hawaii until 2016. The aircraft's design allows it to theoretically fly indefinitely using solar energy, and it will resume its journey to Arizona once repairs are completed.

Chinese architect Li Rongjun used 8,500 discarded beer bottles and $11,000 to construct the second floor of his two-story house in Chongqing, China. The innovative design, which took over four months to complete, features at least 40 layers of beer bottles holding the top level together, while the ground floor is built with mud and brick. Despite the creative reuse of materials, concerns have been raised about the structural integrity of the beer bottle section. The concept of using beer bottles as building materials has historical precedence, with Heineken's 1960s World Bottles designed for affordable housing, though it was deemed impractical at the time.

Students at Art Center College of Design in California have developed Flo, a low-cost tool to wash and dry reusable sanitary cloths, aimed at helping girls in low-income countries.

The project, in collaboration with Yale School of Management, aims to make Flo accessible to millions of girls worldwide.

Bill Gates, with a net worth of $78.9 billion, has donated $28 billion since 2007 to combat deadly diseases and aims to double investment in renewable technology. A study led by Leigh Plunkett Tost from the University of Michigan suggests that power makes people more generous towards future generations. Experiments showed that individuals with more power were more likely to make long-term charitable contributions. The findings imply that organizations should emphasize the long-term impact of decisions to encourage responsible behavior among those in power.

Hawaii has become the first U.S. state to ban plastic checkout bags, effective July 1, with businesses facing fines for noncompliance. The ban, which excludes compostable plastic, recyclable paper, and reusable bags, aims to reduce plastic waste and its environmental impact. Despite exceptions for certain types of plastic bags, the move is seen as a significant step towards sustainable packaging. The article highlights the detrimental effects of plastic bags on marine life and the environment, urging other states to follow Hawaii's lead.

Hawaii has implemented a statewide ban on noncompostable plastic bags, requiring businesses to use compostable plastic, recyclable paper, or reusable bags, or face penalties. This move aims to address the significant plastic waste problem in the US, where millions of tons of plastic bags are discarded annually. Despite some exemptions, the ban is seen as a potential catalyst for broader environmental change. The article highlights the severe environmental impact of plastic bags, including their contribution to oceanic debris and harm to marine life, and suggests that other states could follow Hawaii's lead to combat plastic pollution.

The Walkie-Talkie skyscraper in London, known for its unique design, has been causing unexpected issues. Initially, it was reported to set pavements and vehicles alight due to its reflective glass. Recently, strong down-draughts around the building have created wind tunnels, posing a hazard to pedestrians. Developers and architects are now considering the impact of wind on street-level conditions to prevent such problems in future high-rise projects.

Dutch construction company VolkerWessels has proposed an innovative solution to the plastic waste problem by creating roads from recycled plastic, a concept called PlasticRoad. The city of Rotterdam has offered a pilot location for testing, with the first project being a bicycle path. The plastic roads are designed to be durable, withstand extreme temperatures, and require less maintenance compared to traditional asphalt roads, which contribute significantly to CO2 emissions. The initiative, still in its conceptual phase, has already seen practical applications in India, indicating its potential for broader implementation.

The Walkie-Talkie skyscraper in London, known for its unique design, is causing significant issues due to the down-draught effect, creating strong winds at street level. Initially, the building was notorious for reflecting sunlight intensely enough to cause damage. Despite efforts to mitigate the sunlight issue with a sunshade, the unexpected wind effects have raised concerns about the impact of skyscraper designs on public safety.

VolkerWessels, a Dutch construction company, has proposed PlasticRoad, a concept to build roads from recycled plastic. Rotterdam city council has offered a pilot location for testing, starting with a bicycle path expected to take three years to build. The plastic roads are designed to be assembled like Lego, withstand extreme temperatures, last three times longer than traditional roads, and be recyclable. While still a concept, similar initiatives in Jamshedpur, India, show the potential for reducing plastic waste and CO2 emissions from asphalt.

Snarkitecture designers transformed the atrium of a Washington, DC museum into a massive, surreal ball pit called 'The Beach' after a successful Indiegogo campaign. The installation features a 5,000-square-foot 'shoreline' with beach chairs and umbrellas, filled with plastic balls. The project, documented by the Creators Project, aimed to make a bold statement using unexpected materials, drawing significant public interest.

Art Center College of Design students Mariko Higaki Iwai, Sohyun Kim, and Tatijana Vasily have created Flo, a low-cost tool to wash and dry reusable sanitary cloths, aiming to revolutionize menstrual hygiene in low-income countries. Flo, which won an International Design Excellence Award, uses less water and detergent than manual washing and provides privacy for drying the cloths. The designers are working on making Flo widely available, with each kit costing less than $3.

Chevrolet is repurposing the thermoset plastic cases from Volt batteries to create shelters for bats and other wildlife. GM's waste reduction expert, John Bradburn, has transformed these cases into 700 nesting boxes installed at GM's wildlife habitat sites. These boxes support ecological balance by providing roosting spots for bats, which are crucial for insect control and pollination but are threatened by white-nose syndrome. The initiative also includes using old circuit trays from GM vehicles as part of the bat box construction.

The article discusses the challenges transgender women face in achieving a feminine voice and highlights the work of a vocal coach, Norma Garbo, in New York who specializes in helping them. Testosterone injections can deepen voices for transgender men, but male-to-female transitions do not benefit vocally from hormonal therapy. The article follows the story of 'Sarah', a transgender woman who has spent $100,000 on transitioning, including surgery and hormone treatments, but still struggles with her masculine-sounding voice. Sarah attends weekly sessions with Garbo, who uses her background in music and theatre to teach transgender women to feminize their voices through exercises and techniques focusing on pitch, lilt, and vowel sounds. The article also touches on the psychological aspects of voice training and the importance of practice and persistence in achieving a passable female voice.
