Wonderous Pix. - StumbleUpon. Logic Puzzles - Solve Online or Print Your Own for Free! Joshin. A Table That Turns Your Kitchen Into Mini Ecosystem [UPDATED] | Fast Company - StumbleUpon. Convenience and efficiency are king when it comes to product design. What could be more efficient than a natural ecosystem? That's the insight behind a "living kitchen" designed by the brilliant young design studio Studio Gorm. They looked at what we have in our kitchens--fruits, vegetables, organic waste--and figured: That's actually enough to create a miniature system for watering fresh herbs, composting the waste, and generating new soil. None of the elements is brand new to this product, but their integration wins points for ergonomics and ease. Maybe what's most surprising is that Studio Gorm isn't based in the Netherlands or Scandinavia--but rather in Eugene, Oregon.

Check out some of Studio Gorm's other designs, including a modular furniture system of pegs and boards; an elegant Egyptian-inspired chair; a handsome adjustable lamp; and an overhead light inspired by--of all things--a falafel container. The 16-Year-Old Baby - Real People Stories. As soon as Brooke Greenberg enters her summer-school classroom, she starts eyeing the door to leave. Her noisy classmates irritate her.

When she roams the hallways, she scoots in a pint-size walker; when she watches her favorite show, SpongeBob SquarePants, she does so from a crib. Born with a still unidentified syndrome that has doctors completely baffled, Brooke looks and acts like a 6-month-old.

Brooke came to the world's attention eight years ago, when news organizations, including PEOPLE (Sept. 17, 2001), shared the story of this seemingly ageless child and her family in suburban Baltimore. For years Brooke's routine consisted of doctor visits and hospital stays. Brooke's story fascinated Dr. No one knows how long Brooke will live.
