The launch of the fully functioning Titanic II, the brain child of wealthy Australian businessman and politician Clive Palmer, who owns Blue StarLine, has been pushed back to 2018.

Titanic II will meet modern safety and design requirements, meaning it will have a welded hull instead of a riveted one, a diesel-electric propulsion system instead of steam engines, stabilisers, and high-tech navigational equipment. And it will have enough lifeboats for everyone on board there was a shortage on the doomed Titanic and modern-day evacuation systems.

Titanic II will be 13ft wider than the original ship, but its length (885ft), height (174ft) and weight (40,000 tonnes) will be similar and it too will have nine decks.

The new vessel will have 840 cabins across its three classes and a capacity of 2,435 passengers and 900 crew. Although no price tag was revealed, construction cost estimates have ranged from £300million to £400million.

With a planned journey from Jiangsu, China, to Dubai.

The remains of the astronaut Vladimir Komarov, a man who fell from space, 1967.

Mankind’s road to the stars had its unsung heroes. One of them was the Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov.

His spaceflight on Soyuz 1 made him the first Soviet cosmonaut to fly into outer space more than once, and he became the first human to die on a space mission. He was killed when the Soyuz 1 space capsule crashed after re-entry on April 24, 1967 due to a parachute failure.

However, because he died when the capsule crashed into ground, he is not considered the first human fatality in outer space. The below photograph shows the charred remains of Komarov being looked over by Soviet officials during his open casket funeral. Only a chipped heel bone survived the crash.

It’s known as the Coiling Dragon Cliff skywalk, and as you can see, it certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted, but anybody who finds the courage to brave the walkway will be rewarded with an utterly breathtaking view that few will ever experience.

Giant fans pull in cold air to cool the vast racks of servers in center.


The equipment is reduced to its basics so it runs cooler. It can also be easily accessed and repaired quickly.

A few years ago, it took an hour to repair a server hard drive.

At Luleå, that's down to two minutes, Facebook said.



http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3814105/That-s-really-cool-Facebook-gives-rare-glimpse-inside-gigantic-Lule-server-farm-just-70-miles-Artic-circle-Sweden.html

Mark Zuckerberg has given a rare glimpse inside one of Facebook's secretive server farms, Luleå data center in Sweden.


'The small town of Luleå is less than 70 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and it's typically pretty cold. 'The temperature in the area is below 50 degrees most days, so we use large fans to pull in the cold air from outside to naturally cool the thousands of warm servers that line the center's broad hallways.'

The main building is the size of six football fields, and is so big that engineers move around on scooters.

The Luleå data center opened in 2013, and was Facebook's first outside the US.

Chair Of Death.


Execution by electrocution, usually performed using an electric chair, is an execution method originating in the United States in which the condemned person is strapped to a specially built wooden chair and electrocuted through electrodes placed on the head and leg.


Once the condemned person has been attached to the chair, various cycles (differing in voltage and duration) of alternating current would be passed through the individual's body in order to cause fatal damage to the internal organs (including the brain).

The first more powerful jolt of electric current was designed to pass through the head and cause immediate unconsciousness and brain death.

The second less powerful jolt was designed to cause fatal damage to the vital organs. Death may also be caused by electrical over stimulation of the heart.
