The video, which Denton posted to social media on June 28, now has well over six million views. Video at website.

Luke Aikins, 42, a veteran of 18,000 jumps, completed the stunt without mishap, landing almost in the middle of the 100ft by 100ft net.

The leap, which was broadcast by Fox, was watched by other members of the family and a crowd of well-wishers packed into an improvised spectator stand in the California desert.

According to conspiracy theorists, on July 29 the Earth's magnetic poles flip and all hell will break loose. That is, Jesus Christ is coming down and pretty much everyone is going to get smote. End Times Prophecies released a video online backing up their prophetic claims. A description of their footage, which is basically a long stream of major world events cut together, says: "The bible states that in the last days, the saints of God will be persecuted. Christians have to be aware of the teachings of Jesus by studying His word on a consistent basis and Most prophecies...

Maclean’s spoke with Eric Walters, author of national bestselling children’s books, to find out how Canadian parents and teachers can explain America’s rowdiest politician to kids.

ST. DAVID — There’s no telling how many times Milton Curtis stepped over those odd-looking rocks as he went about the day-to-day business of ranching. Back in 1921, life on Curtis Ranch in St. David was filled with cattle and horses and providing for a young family. Things like dinosaurs really weren’t the topic of discussion, nor did they get much attention. But in 1921, that changed. “What my father thought were rocks were actually the tips of tusks from a giant mastodon dinosaur,” chuckled 98-year-old Clea Brown, her eyes sparkling as she talked about a discovery that launched the...
