May 13 (UPI) -- A profes- sional circus performer who specializes in hair hanging broke a Guinness World Record when she was sus- pended by her locks for 25 minutes and 11.3 seconds.
Leila Noone, 39, attempted the record for the longest time suspended by the
hair in a scenic location at Redwood National and
State Parks in California.
Noone said it took her two years of practice and endurance-building to break the record of 23 minutes and 19 seconds, which was set by Australian Suthakaran Sivagnanathurai in 2011.
The performer said her goal with the record attempt was to prove what can be done with the power of the mind.

National Basketball Association superstar Russell Westbrook is taking a shot off the court at sim- plifying funeral planning with artificial intelligence.
The famed Denver Nuggets point guard on Wednesday announced the launch
of Eazewell, a startup that
uses AI technology to streamline the process for coordinating funerals. Westbrook founded the venture with former Charlotte Hornets star Kemba Walker and child- hood friend Donnell Beverly Jr., who serves as president of Russell Westbrook Enterprises and CEO and co-founder of Eazewell.
