The Story of Having it All

Today is Thursday, April 21, 2016. We learn more about Helen Gurley Brown having it all.  Oetzi the iceman comes to North Carolina.  A new app fast-forwards the clock.

Having it All

Helen Gurley Brown told a generation of women that they could have it all.  The author of the legendary book Sex And The Single Girl, which sold 2 million copies in its first three weeks of release, wrote that women should own their sexuality.  She became the editor of Cosmopolitan  magazine and turned it into a juggernaut.

In Enter Helen: The Invention of Helen Gurley Brown and the Rise of the Modern Single Woman, a new book by Brooke Hauser, we learn a lot more about the feminist icon.  We especially learn a lot about Helen’s relationship with her producer husband David Brown and his contributions to the rise of “The Single Girl.”

Oetzi Comes to North Carolina

Oetzi is a mummified 5,000 year-old man.  He will be headed to North Carolina, kind of, in 2017.

Scientists presented a life-styled copy of Oetzi, made by a 3D-printer, on Wednesday.  Three replicas have been made.  One of those replicas will go on tour.  It will come to the North Carolian Museum of Natural Science in 2017.

AgeMe

A new app called AgeMe can reveal what we might look like in 10, 20, 30, and even 40 years.  The original version was created with help from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NEw York.

The app will show more than just the natural aging process.  It can also display the effects of a pack-a-day smoking habits, excessive sun exposure, and weight gain.
