British Airways Super Jumbo Plane

British Airways today took delivery of its new double-decker ‘superjumbo’ which airline bosses say will herald a new era for the nation’s flagship airline. BA says passengers will find its new £270million Airbus A380 bigger, more spacious, more comfortable, quieter and ‘greener’ than the ageing Jumbo jets it replaces – with fresher in-flight air to boot. The giant of the skies touched down at Heathrow in London, waved on by cheering BA staff who welcomed its arrival. The plane is the first of a dozen of A380s ordered by British Airways ahead of the model going into service in the autumn.


Girl Art Portrait On 11 Acre Land

The face of a six year old girl making a "Wish", is the latest of Rodriguez-Gerada's earthworks portraits, recreated on a ploughed field in Northern Ireland. It required moving more than 4,400 tons of soil and sand with the help of satellite navigation and the work of many volunteers. The process that took 18 months and it is a part of Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen's. It has attracted widespread coverage for the events. It is best to view the artwork by helicopter or when on a plane arriving into the city or from surrounding tall buildings and Titanic Belfast.

New Agriculture Technic Vertical Faming

Columbia University’s Dickson Despommier says with his hi-tech solution offering fascinating design possibilities. With such a shortage of land and increased urbanisation, instead of growing crops horizontally, he proposes the Vertical Farm.Time to open your third eye and imagine that for every 10 blocks of your city, one block is a 30-storey glass skyscraper filled with the hues only found in the plant kingdom. The crisp green of lettuce on the first level, the ripe red of tomatoes and strawberries on the next, and the golden brown of wheat on the top, with the crystal blues of water running through the infrastructure. A living rainbow city block that feeds 10 000 people.

The architectural design of the building allows it to capture the sun and wind and convert it into energy, which powers some of the farm. Inside, the farm workers are dressed in laboratory-white spacesuits to protect the plants from germs. The average farm worker now holds a post-graduate chemistry degree, because the techniques to grow plants inside (without soil, sun or rain) were mostly developed by NASA in their preparations for any long-term planetary relocations.


Making of Mangalyaan, First Indian Mars Mission

India is aiming to follow the Soviet Union, United States and Europe in having a successful visit to Mars. Mangalyaan, which means "Mars craft" in Hindi, must travel 780 million kilometres over 300 days to reach an orbit around the red planet next September. Hundreds of people watched the rocket carrying the Mars spacecraft take off from the east-coast island of Shriharikota and streak across the sky. The total cost of the project is 450 crores, one sixth of the cost of a Mars probe set to be launched by NASA in 13 days.


Mission Facts:
  • The 1,337 kg Mars Orbiter Satellite will be put into a 250 km X 23,500 km elliptical orbit.
  • The launch vehicle being used is a PSLV-C25.
  • This is the 25th mission of PSLV and fifth in the XL configuration.
  • Time from launch to injection of the Orbiter into its trajectory is about 40 minutes.
  • The cost of the mission is approximately Rs. 450 crore.
  • With this mission, India will be the first Asian country and the fourth in the world to take part in interplanetary exploration.

Six Year Old Magnet Boy

Ivan Stoiljkovic, a six-year-old boy from a small town in norther Croatia, has been attracting media attention with his unusual gift of making large quantities of metal stick to his torso.

New Pope Benedict XVI

The cardinals of the Roman Catholic church on Wednesday chose as their new pope a man from almost "the end of the world". The first non-European to be elected for almost 1,300 years and the first-ever member of the Jesuit order. Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.

The new pope appeared on the balcony over the entrance to St Peter's basilica more than an hour after white smoke poured from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel, signalling that the cardinals had made their choice. Dressed in his new white robes. Perhaps a little intimidated as he looked out at the sea of jubilant humanity in the square. The former Cardinal Bergoglio was not among the front-runners. But he obtained more votes than any other candidate except former pope Benedict in the 2005 conclave.

5 Most Greatest Achivements of the Human Mind

5. Evolutionary Theory


Probably the most controversial entry on this list, evolution inspires more heated debate and animosity between its adherents and detractors than any other scientific theory, but let’s get a couple of points out of the way. Darwin never stated that humans evolved from apes; they both have a common ancestor. Also, ‘On the Origin of Species’ (published in 1859) only mentions human evolution in passing, for two reasons: Darwin was wary of the response (‘Vestiges of Creation’ in 1844 had met with controversy), and there wasn’t enough evidence available at the time to make a detailed analysis of human evolution. That said, Darwin’s book brought about a classic paradigm shift; never again could man look at the natural world around him the same way (or himself, for that matter). As for Darwin, over the years his religious beliefs had eroded. By 1859, Darwin considered all religions equally valid, and was critical of the Biblical account of creation. The death of his daughter Anne in 1851 at age 10 had also contributed to his loss of faith, and he stopped attending church entirely (though he never quite became a total atheist).

The Cloud Building At South Korea

The buildings are called ‘The Cloud’ and they are being built in Soul, South Korea by Netherlands-based architectural firm MVRDV.

As the full extent of the damage became clear, survivors dug in with shovels or even their bare hands, desperately trying to rescue the trapped and the injured.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at least 93 people were killed in Van, 45 others died in Ercis, and about 350 were injured. Several people were still trapped under rubble, he said, without citing any estimates.Up to 80 buildings collapsed in Ercis, including a dormitory, and 10 buildings collapsed in Van, the Turkish Red Crescent said.

Apple Chairman And Former CEO Steve Jobs Died [1955-2011]

Steven Paul Jobs, the co-founder and chairman of Apple, died Wednesday at the age of 56. Apple has also put up the following website in memory. They’re asking for “thoughts, memories, and condolences” to be shared by way of this email address: rememberingsteve@apple.com 

Jobs remained Chairman of the Board at the company, as well as director and an Apple employee. He recommended that company COO Tim Cook take his place as CEO. Yesterday, Cook gave his first keynote address as CEO, unveiling the new iPhone 4S.

While that device had been the focal point of Apple’s website for the past 24 hours, Apple.com is now simply dedicated to Jobs, using a famous picture of him (above) that will also grace the cover of his upcoming biography by Walter Isaacson due out next month. Jobs had battled cancer, and in 2004 had an operation related to the disease. In recent years, illness had forced him to step back from his role as CEO of Apple on separate occasions. He also had a liver transplant in 2009 during one of those medical leaves.


That performance as well has his announcement that he was stepping down as CEO of Apple for the final time, led to two of my favorite posts that I’ve ever written.

Steve Jobs was 56 years old. Rest in peace, Steve.



Rosat Satellite May Crash The Earth

The world was gripped by the Nasa UARS satellite that fell back to Earth last Saturday and now there’s another that’s plummeting back from orbit. In late October or early November a Germany astronomy satellite called ROSAT- will plunge uncontrolled back to Earth. Experts believe that two dozen metal pieces from the bus-sized Nasa satellite fell over a 500-mile span in the Pacific Ocean. It began hitting the water southwest of Christmas Island.
The German ROSAT satellite was launched in 1990, 'died' in 1998 and weighs two and a half tonnes. The German space agency estimates that 30 pieces weighing less than two tons will survive re-entry. Debris may include sharp mirror shards. The German space agency puts the odds of somebody somewhere on Earth being hurt by its satellite at 1-in-2,000 — a slightly higher level of risk than was calculated for the Nasa satellite.Again, it seems certain that information on when or where the satellite might land will be scant.


Equipped with an 84cm mirror, it completed an X-ray survey of the sky, finding more than 150,000 objects. It followed up with targeted observations of interesting objects from galaxies, to neutron stars and even comets. It was switched off in 1999 and I calculate that it is now perhaps three weeks away from re-entry as its orbit decays, though it could survive into November.
