Singer Bono Recalls How Reality TV Helped Him Recover After Heart Surgery
Last Updated: U2 singer Bono shared that he began watching a lot of reality TV shows while he was recovering from his health problems. Mr Rush, an American author, lecturer, and performer, who enjoys pushing himself, holds well over 180 Guinness World Records. The longest time balancing a chair on the chin was one of the most unique titles he held before Christian Roberto Lopez Rodriguez of Spain broke it with a time of 1 hour, 19 minutes, and 17 seconds. Rush, determined to reclaim the title, trained hard before going ahead. The record-breaking competition took place at the West Boise YMCA in Boise, Idaho. Rush used a tan Adams low-back patio chair from Lowe's hardware store. It was around 31.5 inches tall and weighed 4 pounds 3.5 ounces. He intended to balance the chair on his chin, resting the top of the backrest upside down, until he beat Rodriguez's time. The attempt had a solid beginning with the chair steadily resting on his chin. He maintained a straight back; his head facing the sky. Rush stood with his back straight and his face tilted forward, balancing the chair upside down on his chin and carefully correcting his posture whenever the chair slanted. Upon surpassing the target time, Rush was ecstatic to beat Rodriguez's time, pumping his fists in the air while carefully maintaining the balance of his chair on his jaw. He finally set a new world record with the time of 1 hour, 20 minutes, and 30 seconds. The Guinness World Record veteran, who has won over 180 titles, broke 15 records in a single day. Among his astounding achievements, Rush managed to juggle three apples and take 198 little bites from them in a single minute. He then used his skill to accomplish the difficult task of bouncing a table tennis ball on two bottle caps 10 times with alternate hands in just 2.09 seconds, setting a new record. He switched to baseball, achieving a new record of 125 touches with alternating hand sides in 30 seconds. Additionally, he created the most back-of-the-back basketball passes against a wall in 30 seconds. First Published:

11 best aftersun lotions and creams to soothe and hydrate sun-damaged skin
As anyone who's suffered it will know, sunburn is no joke. And, while SPF can prevent it, we have the best aftersun formulas to help soothe and heal tender skin when the damage is already done. With summer just around the corner and beach holidays in the calendar, now is the time to take sun protection seriously, whether at home or abroad. If you need further convincing, here's a scary stat: according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 'having five or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma', and those are odds we really don't want to be betting on. Of course, no one sets out to get sunburnt. It's happened to the best of us, even the ones who slather on the factor 50, wear sunglasses, sun hats and stay out of the rays between 11am and 3pm. But a specialised aftersun cream or lotion can give you extra relief when it does happen. Luckily for you, I've tested the best aftersuns on the market, to find out which ones are worth a spot in your suitcase. Whether you're looking to tone down that red, cool the burn or just extend your tan, keep reading to find out which aftersun should be on your shopping list this summer. How we tested While IndyBest testers are more than committed to putting each product through its paces to find out which ones really are the best, I drew the line at getting purposefully sunburnt. However, I did jet off to sunny Ibiza for two weeks of extreme heat and sunshine – wearing SPF every day – and slathered aftersun on each evening to soothe any redness, calm skin from UV exposure and hydrate at the same time. Price point, ease of use, and soothing effects were all high on my list, alongside ingredients and how easy the bottle was to carry in a suitcase – although, with the weather warming up, there's sure to be use for it at home soon, too.
