Hong Kong Shoebox Apartments - You Tube Clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-iFJ3ncIDo
Growing up in Hong Kong, space was a luxury Gary Chang didn't have. Instead, to him, luxury meant the highest efficiency living while being able to share the corridor he considered his "room" with his four other family members and a tenant. So, we guess it should be no surprise that when he grew up to become an architect, he would create an astounding 344 square feet apartment capable of changing into 24 different rooms, all via sliding panels and walls.

What's on your genes?
http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/2011/09/what’s-on-your-genes/
These two mice are genetically identical and exactly the same age. Each mouse’s mother received a different, specialized diet, which switched on or off chemical clusters called methyl groups that reside near genes. Flipping these genetic switches created differences in size, fur color and health in the otherwise identical offspring. Credit: Randy Jirtle/Duke University
