When booking a vacation, a hotel that has its own pool is always a big bonus.

But a hotel in Texas has gone one step further, with a giant lazy river on its roof that takes 15 minutes to complete.
SEE THE GLASS-BOTTOMED POOL THAT SITS 500 FEET ABOVE HOUSTON
The recently-opened 530-foot lazy river at the Marriott Marquis in Houston is formed in the shape of the state of Texas. It sits on the top of the 29-storey hotel, 100 feet above street level.

Guests can meander along the lazy river, which is peppered with waterfalls and water cannons along the route.

Unsurprisingly for something that contains 140,000 gallons of water, the waterway is so heavy that an impermeable deck exists underneath it to prevent the possibility of water leaking through to a ballroom below.

There is also a large infinity pool for those who prefer to do laps, with views of the city below.

A dive bar and grill sits the rooftop too, for those planning on spending the whole afternoon poolside.

Celebrate May the 4th by working in a hospital with Darth Vader

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's May the Fourth and Star Wars devotees on the internet have not let us down.

Referring to the phrase "may the force be with you", eager fans set the tone early: On Wednesday @kirkymcjerky wrote, "tomorrow is may 4th which means for every #starwars nerd like myself it's the best day".

But Carrie Fisher, who died in 2016, is the real star this year. The actress has played Princess Leia across many Star Wars films and her straight-talking style about politics, mental health and women's rights later made a hero amongst feminists and Star Wars fans alike.

"Today feels like the perfect day to remember the magnificence of Carrie Fisher" said @pandamoanimum, tweeting a picture of Carrie telling American TV host Stephen Colbert that she had been asked to lose weight in preparation to wear the famous gold bikini.

Carrie made her own joke about the date in the interview, quipping "They want to hire about three-fourths [of me] and so I have to get rid of the fourth. The fourth can't be with me".

Her character's rise to power in the trilogy was also celebrated - "The Princess who became a General will always be my Princess. Remembering #CarrieFisher this May 4th", commented Laura on Twitter.

The loss of Ms Fisher - whose semi-autobiographical novel Postcards from the Edge detailed her experience of drug dependency - was felt keenly today by other social media users who simply tweeted their tributes.

"I'd like to take today to remind everyone for the 500th time that I miss Carrie Fisher", said @totallypeachy, while @outcastspice declared "Today is wear glitter for Carrie Fisher day. May the 4th be with us all".

Meanwhile, ABC News chose May the Fourth to reveal Darth Vader is a 39-year-old man living in Tennessee, United States. Darthvader Williamson, that is.

Williamson, who is a surgical assistant, was named Darthvader by his die-hard Star Wars fan father, Williamson's mother Patricia Knowles told ABC News.

Ms Knowles explained that she compromised with Darthvader's dad, who wanted to use the full title Lord Darth Vader. She agreed to the shorter version because she "hadn't seen the movie" and "didn't know the character".

And we also learned serious Star Wars geeks could be behind the Twitter accounts of the Australian Senate and Australian House of Representatives.

"It's a shame there isn't a Galactic House of Representatives", tweeted the Senate, referring to (yes, we googled it) the belief that legislative decisions in the galaxy were made harmoniously in joint meetings of House and Senate, rather than in separate bi-cameral meetings as in common in Earth's democracies.

A zipline is not just a zipline, and a merry-go-round is more than just a merry-go-round at Science City's first outdoor exhibit, opening at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Union Station.

They and other play stations also serve to illustrate the power of simple machines, such as the inclined plane and the wheel.

That's the inspiration that led nine students from Lee's Summit's Mason Elementary School who beat out more than 500 entries from 210 schools in winning the third Battle of the Brains competition. On Tuesday, they will arrive at Union Station in a limousine and get to see their work realized in a $1 million exhibit built by Burns & McDonnell.

"You're teaching them engineering principles while they're playing," said company CEO Ray Kowalik as he and Union Station CEO George Guastello recently acted like kids themselves and took a shot at the interactive stations.

The exhibit, called Simple Machines at Play, sits adjacent to a new events space between Science City and the parking garage on the northwest side of Union Station. It extends life to a formerly underused area and is part of an expansion project that also included a vehicle and pedestrian bridge linking Pershing Road to the top level of the garage.

Next will be a new "outer space portal" linking Science City to the planetarium in early June and a new entrance to the science center for school groups in time for the new school year.

"The pieces are now all coming together," Guastello said.

The playground exhibit includes a screw slide and a three-story climbing structure that offers a bird's-eye view of the simple machines, as well as the still-active railbed and the city beyond.

"I hope that when families come and they see other kids out here playing, it's going to get them instantly excited to go into the science center," Kowalik said. "The kids are going to run into Science City."

The Mason Elementary students, led by teacher Jenny Reidlinger, also won $50,000 for their school. They decided to use some of that money to install a duplicate of one of the simple machine play stations, the merry-go-round, at their school.

The Burns & McDonnell Foundation has invested nearly $6 million in the science center over the last nine years. The goal is to encourage kids to become interested in science, technology, engineering and math. The company has sponsored three rounds of the Battle of the Brains, each of which has seen new exhibits built based on winning entries.

"The first set of kids were at Olathe North High School, and they are graduating college now," Kowalik said. "Many of them are in the STEM fields."

Horrific Aftermath As Texas Father Flips Truck Over In River

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Breaking footage has hit the internet of a Texas father who found himself, his baby, and his toddler trapped upside down in his truck after it was flipped over by raging flood waters. The truly shocking footage reminds us how precious and fragile life can be while his lifeless babies are pulled out of the truck as the father of two never expected what was about to happen next.

According to Daily Mail, Phillip Ocheltree was driving himself and his two young children away from their home in Myrtle Springs after tornadoes devasted several parts of the state on Saturday, April 29th. The father of two found himself in a life-threatening situation when his truck hydroplaned and flipped upside down, leaving him and his children trapped with the flood waters quickly filling up the cab of his vehicle.

Warning: The following footage may be difficult for some viewers to watch.

Thank God, there were people who saw Ocheltree's truck flipped upside down as they rushed to help him. As rescuers worked together to free Ocheltree, his son Marshal, and his daughter Addyson from the submerged truck, they can be heard yelling at other bystanders to jump into the river and help get the doors of the truck open.

According to Daily Caller, the men who jumped into the flood waters to rescue the Ocheltree family struggled to get the doors open against the current for several minutes. One man can then be seen reaching in and pulling baby Marshal from the backseat of the truck that was quickly filling up with water.

"I need some f**king help!" the man screamed as he waded to shore with the infant in his arms. The baby boy was pale blue when they finally got him to land, and he wasn't breathing. Tom Mitchell, the man who was filming the horrific event, put his phone down as the baby was carried to the shore and said, "This baby is gonna die if we don't start CPR fast. Having a negative feeling coming over me. This baby may not make it, this baby may not make it. No reaction, nothing is happening."

A woman off camera is heard praying, as she pleads, "Dear Jesus, please let this baby breathe."

While rescuers performed CPR on the baby, others successfully freed Addyson from the truck. The little girl was also unresponsive. Addyson was rushed to the hospital after the group tried to revive her. Her condition is listed as serious but stable.

"Life comes at you in a blink of an eye," said Ocheltree. "Last night, leaving our home, trying to get away from what was yet to come, we hydroplaned off the highway."

His son Marshall has made a full recovery and is in excellent condition while Addyson remains hospitalized. "She is stable and breathing more and more on her own but it's all up to her as to when she is ready to wake up see everyone please, please keep my little bug your prayers. I can't thank you all enough who came into the water and saved my children you're a blessing thank you all so much," Ocheltree said.

On Sunday, Ocheltree said that his daughter Addyson was doing much better and that doctors planned to remove her breathing tube on Monday if all went well. The video of this family's ordeal is suspenseful and provides a stark reminder of how dangerous storm floods can be. Beyond the family's horrific experience, the video shows something even more important: Complete strangers risking their own lives to help a family that is not their own. It is said that "everything is big in Texas," and the genuine care and concern Texans show for each other is most definitely at the top of the list.

Source: Spurs' Tony Parker may have torn quadriceps tendon

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The San Antonio Spurs fear Tony Parker may have a torn quadriceps tendon, which would mean season-ending surgery for the point guard, a source told ESPN's Michael C. Wright on Thursday.

Parker, 34, had an MRI after suffering the injury during the Spurs' 121-96 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

With 8:43 left in the fourth quarter, Parker immediately clutched at his left knee after a driving floater over Patrick Beverley and collapsed to the court, where he lay motionless for several minutes.

He rose to his feet but was unable to put any pressure on his left leg to walk, so he was carried off the court by rookie guard Dejounte Murray and center Dewayne Dedmon.

Said coach Gregg Popovich after the game: "It's not good."

Houston will host Game 3 of the best-of-7 Western Conference semifinals on Friday night.

Earlier in the contest, Parker became the ninth player in NBA postseason history to reach 4,000 career points. Parker and LeBron James are now the league's only players to have scored 4,000 points and dished 1,000 assists in the postseason.

The 34-year-old Parker missed 16 games during the regular season due to rest and various ailments, such as right knee soreness, a left quadriceps bruise, a left knee bruise, left foot pain and back stiffness.

The most likely candidate to receive first crack at replacing Parker in the lineup is veteran Patty Mills, who averaged 9.5 points per game and 3.5 assists during the regular season and contributed seven points on Wednesday against the Rockets. If Mills moves to the starting lineup, it is likely Manu Ginobili will serve as the primary backup.

Parker's absence also will lead to more minutes for Murray, as well as Kyle Anderson, a former college point guard, and Jonathon Simmons.
