Russia covered up a nuclear disaster in Kazakhstan in the 1950s that was FOUR TIMES worse than Chernobyl reveals secret report
Fallout from a Soviet nuclear weapons test at Semipalatinsk in August 1956 resulted in more than 600 people in a town over 100 miles (175 km) away ending up in hospital with radiation sickness. The secret report (bottom left) was recently found at the test facility, where the first Soviet nuclear test was conducted on August 29, 1949 (top right). Between 1949 and 1989 some 456 nuclear tests were carried out, and children in the region are still being born with birth defects to this day (bottom right).

Free Cone Day 2017, create some buzz
This year, Hӓagen-Dazz® is dedicating Free Cone Day to some of our hardest workers – the honey bees. So, this May 9th, we won’t just be giving away free ice cream, we’ll be giving our flying friends some much needed recognition – and we’re inviting our fans to join us.
In exchange for the free treat, Hӓagen-Dazz® hopes “guests will pay it forward by planting wildflowers native to their region to help keep bees buzzing,” the company said in a news release.

The true potential of technology to change behavior
Technology could successfully change behaviours where decades of campaigns and legislation have failed. With the quantified self already walking among us and the internet of things within easy reach, digital technology is creating unprecedented opportunities to encourage, enable and empower more sustainable behaviours.
If we are to unlock the power of technology we must be more ambitious than simply digitising analogue strategies or creating another communications channel.
The true potential of technology lies in its ability to do things that nothing else can do. In behaviour change terms, the potential to succeed where decades of education programmes, awareness campaigns and product innovation have failed; to make a difference where government policy and legislation has had limited impact.
Using behavioural insights, it is possible to highlight the bottlenecks, drop out points and achilles heels of traditional behaviour change efforts — the reasons why we have failed in the past — and apply the unique possibilities of technology to these specific challenges.
Overcoming our limitations
Luckily, the history of the human race is almost defined by its ability to invent stuff that bolsters its feeble capabilities. That stuff is, of course, what we generically refer to as 'technology'. And in the same way that the internal combustion engine and the light bulb allow us to overcome our relatively feeble powers of motion and perception, so digital technology can be directed to overcoming our relatively feeble powers of reasoning, selfcontrol, motivation, self-awareness and agency—the factors that make behaviour change so difficult.
Herein lies the true potential of technology: not in the laboratory or the workshop, but in an understanding of the behavioural dynamics that define the human condition, both generally and within the context of a specific user-group, market segment or community.
