Icy shower
No, this is not a grab from a reality show that urges contestants to defy nature or a tolerance experiment. These are just members of the local ice-bathing club drying up after having enjoyed a swim in the icy water of the Yenisey River at temperatures of around -26 Degrees Celsius (-14.8 Fahrenheit).

Step on kids and they won’t grow
Firstly, relax your concerns about this picture. It is just a priest baptizing a child at the Novopyatigorsk Lake near the Russian southern town of Pyatigorsk.

Move over, Dead Sea
While the world bows down to the Dead Sea mud’s ability to improve one’s skin, the Russians have their own. The mineral-rich blue mud on the banks of the Tus lake in Russia's Khakassia region, about 370 km (230 miles) southwest of the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk is said to serve the purpose just as well. Russians from different regions annually arrive at the Tus lake rich with curative black and blue mud to live in a camp, bathe in the bitter-salty water and smear themselves with mud, which is said to have a healing property, in their opinion

Boeing and BlackBerry to release a self-destructing smartphone
New Delhi: BlackBerry’s reputation in the mobile world lays on two pillars – data security and refusal to blindly follow design trends. That’s why the Canadian company seemed like the most obvious partner choice for Boeing when the aircraft manufacturer decided to build a smartphone of its own.
BlackBerry’s CEO spoke to Reuters, confirming that the two companies have started the development of the Boeing Black phone. Featuring call encryption, the Android-based smartphone is aimed at government agencies and other types of business where data protection is crucial.
And while call encryption isn’t anything new or that hard to come by the other security feature of the Boeing Black phone is far more interesting. Apparently, the Black phone will be able to self-destruct if tampered with, which should provide further security for sensitive data if the phone is lost or stolen.No specifics were given on how the whole self-destructing thing will work or how dangerous it will be for the current holder. All we know is that the phone will feature dual SIM slots and that it will be powered by Android, while also utilizing the BlackBerry Enterprise Service 12.
It’s already being offered by Boeing to its partners though, so its production start shouldn’t be too far away.
