The 4th annual Maker Faire, an event organized by Make Magazine, recently took place in California. People could see different DIY creations there and one of the most spectacular was Mercedes Pens - a car (actually Mercedes) covered with 10.000 pens! Yeah, such a custom car you'll never see in everyday life! ))
Have you ever imagined how such simple and useful things like headphones, computer mice, web cams etc. were made? Most of them are manufactured in China, at big and small factories, where people make their monotonous work 10 hours a day and get paid approximately $300 per month.
Cody McCasland is not an ordinary child. He had to have his legs amputated below the knee when he was only 15 month old because of a rare condition called Sacral Agenesis. Some months later he got his first prosthetic legs and since then he can move almost like any other kid. Нe can not only walk, but run, swim, play soccer, golf, karate, ice hockey etc. But the boy grows fast, so he outgrows his prosthetic legs all the time and needs new. Now he is seven and during his life he had many surgeries because of his condition, but despite all of the problems Cody remains an amazing spirit.
