Headline Tag: Cults and Religions Rating: Amazing Hits: 405 Comments: 1 The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off (Jonny Kennedy) 3/5 The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off (Jonny Kennedy) 3/5 Jonny Kennedy died in 2003, aged 36. He had a terrible genetic condition called Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) -- which meant that his skin literally fell off at the slightest touch, leaving his body covered in agonising sores and leading to a final fight against skin cancer. In his last months, Jonny decided to work with filmmaker Patrick Collerton to document his life and death, and the result was a film, first broadcast in March 2004, that was an uplifting, confounding and provocatively humorous story of a singular man. Not shying away from the grim reality of EB, the film was also a celebration of a life lived to the full. When it was first shown, The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off captivated nearly 5 million viewers and helped to raise 500,000 for the EB charity DebRA. Channel 4 is re-screening the film and re-visiting Jonny's family to see how they have come to terms with his death and the public's reaction to the film. Jonny was frank about his feelings on his upcoming death and practical about the arrangements. The film featured moving interviews with his friends and family, including his mother Edna, who had been his life-long carer and faced the prospect of Jonny's death with disarming mixed feelings, torn between relief for Jonny and knowing that she would miss him desperately.

Headline Tag: Science Rating: Amazing Hits: 713 Comments: 1 First Flying Platform: 1955 Hover Board First Flying Platform: 1955 Hover Board Flying Platform. US Navy demonstrates its Flying Platform in 1955, a "flying skateboard" or "hover board" vehicle that uses a direct lift rotor aircraft, using contra-rotating ducted fans controlled by the pilot shifting his body weight around to tilt the platform. Although it looked like it could have been a massive development [and a great way for us to beat the traffic to work] sadly development ceased because the U.S. Army judged them to be impractical as combat vehicles as they were small, limited in speed and only barely flew out of the ground cushion effect.

Headline Tag: Science Rating: Amazing Hits: 505 Comments: 1 Millau Sky Bridge Millau Sky Bridge Richard Hammond's: Engineering Connections - (S02E05) Millau Sky Bridge. Richard Hammond reveals the engineering inspirations behind the tallest road bridge in the world – the Millau Viaduct in France. He fires three quarters of a million volts from his fingertips to see how the power of lightning cut the steel structure quickly and accurately. The huge piers – 340 metres high, and which would look down on the Eiffel Tower – were positioned to millimetre accuracy with the system that located lost nuclear submarines. The longest road-deck in the world was launched along the top of the piers and required the slipperiest substance known to man – Teflon; not even a gecko can stick to it. Steel cables hold the bridge in shape, borne of a series of mining accidents. And to allow the bridge to expand a metre and a half in the summer sun, the engineers turned to an ancient Celtic boat-building technique which can make concrete as bendy as wood.

Headline Tag: Politics Rating: Amazing Hits: 829 Comments: 34 TED Talks: Nick Hanauer, Income Inequality TED Talks: Nick Hanauer, Income Inequality As the war over income inequality wages on, super-rich Seattle entrepreneur Nick Hanauer has been raising the hackles of his fellow 1-percenters, espousing the contrarian argument that rich people don't actually create jobs. The position is controversial — so much so that TED is refusing to post a talk that Hanauer gave on the subject. National Journal reports today that TED officials decided not to put Hanauer's March 1 speech up online after deeming his remarks "too politically controversial" for the site.
