79-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor Wins Beauty Pageant

Hava Hershkovitz, 79, fled her native Romania as a child to escape the Nazis during World War II. Her tale of survival, and her later contributions to local communities across Israel, helped her top 13 other finalists this week to win Miss Holocaust Survivor 2012.

“It’s not easy at this age to be in a beauty contest,” Hershkovitz said. ”But we’re all doing it to show that we’re still alive.”

The pageant is the first — and likely the last — of its kind, and has stirred up quite the global controversy. Critics argue that judging women who had suffered persecution on physical appearance was inappropriate.

“It sounds totally macabre to me,” said Collete Avital, chairwoman of Israel’s Holocaust survivors’ umbrella group. ”I am in favour of enriching lives, but a one-time pageant masquerading [survivors] with beautiful clothes is not what is going to make their lives more meaningful.”

Nearly 200,000 Holocaust survivors live in Israel today. The country’s annual Holocaust Day is among the most solemn occasions on their calendar.

Scientists Find Traces Of Alcohol In Coke And Pepsi

According to a study done in France, Coca-Cola and Pepsi have traces of alcohol in them. Actually, more than half of the leading Cola brands contain alcohol.

The findings were most likely to cause concern among people who choose to drink the soft drinks for health and/or safety reasons. According to Daily Mail, the National Institute of Consumption (INC), based in Paris, carried out the testing and came to the conclusion that more than half of the leading brands of Cola have traces of alcohol in their soft drinks.

According to Channels TV, the French Magazine that published the findings suggested that the levels of alcohol found in the soft drinks are as low as 10mg in every litre. 19 colas were tested and nine of the colas did not have alcohol in them.

The brands that made those colas included Man U-Cola, Casino, Cora, Auchan and Leader Price. The 10 colas that had traces of alcohol in them included Coke Zero, Pepsi Cola, Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Classic light.

According to GulfNews, Coca-Cola France gave an explanation about where the alcohol could come from. The company said that the alcohol could come from the process of making the secret recipe that goes into Coca-Cola.

Pepsi denied that some of their soft drinks contained alcohol due to the ingredient used to make their soft drinks. Pepsi and Coca-Cola did suggest that traces of alcohol could be produced as a result of natural fruit that ferments.

Google Demonstrates Project Glass With Skydiving And Extreme Biking

You too can broadcast your skydive via Google Glass, so long as your friend will wait on the ground and point an amplifying dish at you. Google had its stuntmen perform a second dive at the second keynote of Google I/O on Thursday and revealed a bit more of how they pulled off the livestream.

When Google's team leapt out of a blimp yesterday, the entire jump was broadcast via a Google+ Hangout using Google Glass. However, the signal from a Google Glass device, falling at terminal velocity, isn't strong enough to maintain a video stream. Google supplemented the devices by having men on the ground who were pointing dishes at the divers to ramp up the signal.

As the parachutes opened during Thursday's dive, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who was narrating from the ground, noted that one of the chutes released an apparent puff of smoke. This was to identify which of the two divers—both of whom donned Google Glass—the two dish-holders needed to point at to maintain the connection.

Google announced Wednesday that the Google Glass units would be available for preorder for developers in attendance, at $1,500 a pop. With a good feedback tailwind, the company hopes to bring the glasses to consumers by 2014.
