Chinese Workers Build 15 Story Hotel in 6 Days!

Chinese workers build a  15 Story Hotel in less than a weekAre Chinese Worker’s SUPER human???

It’s no secret Chinese workers work for a fraction of the wage American’s make while cranking out mass quantities of products. It seems just about everything has the “Made in China” stamp on it: clothing, toys, glassware, pens, pencils, mugs, picture frames, Halloween costumes, even the American flag is made in China. The list is growing everyday.

A young American girl, Autumn de Forest, has been hailed the "next great artist" of our time. Compared to artists like Henri Matisse and Andy Warhol, she's hit the art world like lightening.

Freedom & Joy for Chilean Miners

Florencio Avalos: first of the trapped Chilean miners to be rescued!In case you haven’t heard, the miners in Chile are being pulled from the ground as we speak.

The first man was pulled to the surface at 10:10pm CST last night. What is surprising to me is the miners’ incredibly good health and positive mental condition. As of this post’s published time, each minor has been in overwhelmingly high spirits when they reach the surface.
