Heavy floods ravaged Chennai in India

Chennai, a city of 4.6 million people on India's southeast coast, is reeling from some of the heaviest and deadliest rains in decades.

Now, as the floodwaters appear to recede, a massive relief effort is under way with participation by celebrities such as Anil Srinivasan, a classical pianist, and unsung people who just want to help.

"This is something of a megadestruction movie," said Srinivasan, who lives in the city's suburb of Nungambakkam. "It's bizarre and unreal."

Since October, flooding killed at least 272 people in the region, according to the National Disaster Response Force. About 28,000 people had to be rescued. The flooding knocked out government services, left people stranded and made small boats a commonplace sight in city streets.

What Mark Zuckerberg can learn from Elon Musk about changing the world

Two billionaire events happened last week Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan said they'd give away most of their wealth, and Elon Musk renewed his call for a carbon tax.

Both Zuckerberg and Musk want to change the world. Some have argued that by creating Facebook, Zuckerberg already has. I might argue that Musk hasn't. Yet.

But that doesn't mean he won't ultimately change it in far more profound ways. And both Chan and Zuckerberg should study him closely as they look to deploy the family's resources, which will stand at about $45 billion. Though Musk has given away some of his money, the thrust of his change-the-world vision has come from investment in his companies: Tesla, SpaceX, and Solar City. When he got very rich after the sale of PayPal to eBay, he took — as he often explains it — all of his money and sank it into those three enterprises.

What happens to your body if you eat too much salt

Salt does more than just make your food taste more delicious—it’s important for your body tofunction properly.

Sodium, one of the key ingredients in table salt, regulates blood flow and pressure, and helps transmit messages between nerves and muscle fibers.

Chloride, the other chemical in table salt, aids in digestion. Foods in your diet need to have enough salt to replenish these nutrients to keep you healthy.

But too much salt can be bad for you. Processed foods are packed with the stuff, and restaurants add more salt to their food to make it taste better. As a result, more Americans are eating high-sodium diets (sometimes without even knowing it), which has somepretty drastic effects on their health.

NASA just released incredible new images of Pluto — the best we'll see in decades
