18 year-old electrical engineering student wows with levitating light
The inclusion of a floating lamp, bed or just about any appropriately-sized household object in a room is almost certain to be received with open-mouthed wonder and demand closer inspection from the curious minds of young and old alike. Add the wireless transfer of power into the mix and you're guaranteed to have a winner. Such is the case with 18 year-old Chris Rieger's LevLight. It's not exactly huge, doesn't break any new ground in a technical sense and is more functional than flashy. Nevertheless, the floating LED is quite the visual feast.
Humor: The Hypnotist
It was entertainment night at the local Senior Citizens Centre, and Claude the hypnotist explained:
"I'm here to put you all into a trance.I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."
The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his waistcoat pocket.

Life Is Absurd
Life Is Absurd
Yet our attempt to make some sense of our labyrinth-like lives makes us focus on the here and now, says KRISHA KOPS
Maybe you kiss your attractive spouse goodbye and accompany your four-year-old daughter to her first day of school, before you leave for work and stroll down the awakening morning streets, where you get blown up. Or you cross the street thinking about the beautiful sunrise, before a speeding public transport bus kills you.
Life can sometimes be as absurd as it is short. French philosopher Albert Camus wrote, “At any street corner the feeling of absurdity can strike any man in the face.” But if we have the feeling that our life is so absurd, is the logical consequence that we have to commit suicide?
