Health & Fitness: 7 Things to Know Before Trying Crossfit

Jennifer Cohen, Health.com

Crossfit is a lot like cilantro or Keeping Up With The Kardashiansyou either love it or loathe it. Throwing barbells in the air, doing hundreds of pull ups, loud grunting, and a “paleo” dietit’s not for everyone. But to the legions of committed Crossfitters hitting the rings right now as I write this, there is no better way to sweat. And the truth is, many who loathe it often just haven’t tried it yet.
Crossfit isn’t as frightening as you might think. In fact, it’s a great way to become stronger, lose weight, and yes, it can even be fun!
The heart-pounding workouts, sense of community, and amazing results are what keep people coming back for more, but you can’t truly know if it’s right for you until you give it a go and see for yourself. If you’re thinking about coming over to the other side, here are 7 things you should know before you take your first Crossfit class.

Science: Is “de-extinction” possible?

BBC.com - Future

Bringing back species that died out long ago is not impossible. What would happen if we tried it?

Will we one day walk with dinosaurs or mammoths? The idea isn't completely beyond the realms of possibility.
However, as this video from The Verge points out, it’s not quite how the Jurassic Park films portray it. In the original story, scientists extracted DNA from a fossil, stitched the broken pieces together and used it to fertilise the egg of a modern creature. It would be feasible, except for the fact that dinosaur DNA is so old, it will have disintegrated beyond repair.

BodMod: Meaningful Tattoos: True Expression of the Soul

Naomi V, Tattoo.com

Meaningful Tattoos are truly a way to take the art of tattoo and make it into a true expression of the soul. Think about the most important moments of your life thus far. Think about the people who mean most to you. Think about your successes, your failures, your gains and losses. No matter how old you are, I'm sure you can think of many moments, or maybe just a profound few. Some of you may even get a little misty eyed, or a swell of pride. People get meaningful tattoos for all sorts of reasons. Some get them to commemorate a milestone in life, like turning 18 (and legally being able to get a tattoo without a parent's signature), or graduating college, or the birth of a child, or a milestone in their career. Some tattoo enthusiasts get meaningful tattoos to honor a loved one who is fighting through something like breast cancer. Others may get memorial tattoos for loved ones who have passed away. There are countless reasons to get meaningful tattoos.
