Kohinoor Diamond

Diamonds are formed at high temperature and pressure at depths of 140 to 190 kilometers (87 to 118 mi) in the Earth's mantle. Carbon-containing minerals provide the carbon source, and the growth occurs over periods from 1 billion to 3.3 billion years (25% to 75% of the age of the Earth). Diamonds are brought close to the Earth's surface through deep volcanic eruptions by a magma, which cools into igneous rocks known as kimberlites and lamproites.Diamond is less stable than graphite, but the conversion rate from diamond to graphite is negligible at standard conditions. Diamond is renowned as a material with superlative physical qualities, most of which originate from the strong covalent bonding between its atoms. In particular, diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colors).The formation of natural diamond requires very specific conditions—exposure of carbon-bearing materials to high pressure, ranging approximately between 45 and 60 kilobars (4.5 and 6 GPa), but at a comparatively low temperature range between approximately 900 and 1,300 °C (1,650 and 2,370 °F). These conditions are met in two places on Earth; in the lithospheric mantle below relatively stable continental plates, and at the site of a meteorite strike.Diamonds are naturally lipophilic and hydrophobic, which means the diamonds' surface cannot be wet by water but can be easily wet and stuck by oil. Diamonds are mostly with typically yellow, brown or gray to colorless. Less often blue, green, black, translucent white, pink, violet, orange, purple and red color.Diamonds are extremely hard, but also brittle and can be split up by a single blow. Therefore, diamond cutting is traditionally considered as a delicate procedure requiring skills, scientific knowledge, tools and experience.

Rotating Skyscraper

It’s the first building in the world that rotates, moves, and changes shape..The Dynamic Tower ., also known as Dynamic Architecture Building (Da Vinci Tower).Height 420-metre (1,378 ft), 80-floor moving skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, designed by architect David Fisher.Similar to the Suite Vollard completed in 2001 in Brazil, Each floor will be able to rotate independently.This will result in a constantly changing shape of the tower. Each floor will rotate a maximum of 6 metres (20 ft) per minute, or one full rotation in 90 minutes.It will be the world's first prefabricated skyscraper with 40 factory-built modules for each floor.

Speciality:The entire tower will be powered from wind turbines and solar panels. Enough surplus electricity should be produced to power five other similar sized buildings in the vicinity.

The turbines will be located between each of the rotating floors.They could generate up to 1,200,000 kilowatt-hours of energy. The solar panels will be located on the roof and the top of each floor.Each of the towers have been designed with swimming pools, gardens and even lifts for cars meaning people can park outside their flats.

The Italian architect has revealed the ambitious plans to create Dynamic Towers in cities around the world with separate floors that spin 360 degrees around a concrete centre every 90 minutes. 

The first two are planned to be built in Dubai and Moscow with other cities including London, Milan, Paris, Rome, New York and Miami  on the cards too.

The 80-storey Dubai tower cost around £355million while the 70-storey Moscow tower will be developed by the Mirax Group with final costs unknown. 

Talking tree

    We know for sure that trees talk through the air like we do, we have to wonder what they say about us as we press into their territories and begin to deforest the land, starting at one edge of the woods and working our way through to the other. Do the trees cut first shout to the others on the opposite end to run? Or are they whispering to us, asking that we be more mindful of the consequences?

We’ve known for a long time that plants are sensitive to their environments, reacting to changes in temperature, soil conditions, and light. Their senses, like ours, are quite developed: The Venus flytrap catches its dinner by snapping shut when an insect touches the tiny hairs on its leaves, and some farmers believe that sounds louder than the human voice stimulate the germination and rapid growth of some vegetables. But the confirmation that plants of the same species are able to talk with each other through the air is a new development.

In one recent research project, scientists took note of when the first gypsy moth larvae landed on a mature oak tree that resided in a grove with other oaks. By analyzing the chemistry of the mature oak tree’s leaves, they were able to determine that within a very short period of time, the tree had added a bitter tannin to all of its leaves. The tannin made the tree an unattractive lunch option for the gypsy moth larvae. But what was more astounding was that all the other oak trees in the grove changed the chemistry of their leaves, too, making them unappetizing as well.

It took a few years for the scientists to understand just how the trees in the rest of grove had gotten word that the gypsy moths were in town. It was found that the trees did not communicate through their roots — instead, they released a special gas (or pheromone) to warn their neighbors of the danger.

If we’ve ever walked in a forest or a grove on a breezy or windy day, we’ve probably experienced that bit of an unsettling feeling that says to you that the trees are “talking” above our head. With every moan and retort of the wood, we’d almost swear that we could hear rumblings. 

The trees surrounding we on our walk seem to be whispering to each other about the propriety of our presence.Turns out that our intuition may not be so far from the truth. Scientists are now discovering that plants have similar senses to ours and that they “talk” to each other — not through their roots, but as we do: through the air.It’s not only the oak trees that are chatting. We now have proof that willows, too, are talking with each other through the air. Quercus phellos (willow oak) is a deciduous tree in the red oak group of oaks. It is native to eastern North America from southern New York (Long Island) south to northern Florida, and west to southernmost Illinois and eastern Texas. It is most commonly found growing on lowland floodplains. It is a medium-sized tree growing to 20-30 m tall.

Fighting Fish

Fighting Fish.. known as the betta (Betta splendens). Bettas sometimes require a place to hide, even in the absence of threats. They may set up a territory centered on a plant or rocky alcove, sometimes becoming highly possessive of it and aggressive toward trespassing rivals.Two male Siamese fighting fish will fight to protect  territory. Male and female Siamese fighting fish should not be housed together unless it is for the purpose of breeding. They are likely to become aggressive with each other either before or after breeding. The aggression of this fish has been studied by ethologists and comparative psychologists.These fish have historically been the objects of gambling; two male fish are pitted against each other in a fight and betsare placed on which one will win. One fish is almost always killed as a result. To avoid this, male Siamese fighting fish are best isolated from one another. Males will occasionally even respond aggressively to their own reflections in a mirror.Though this is obviously safer than exposing the fish to another male, prolonged sight of their reflection can lead to stress in some individuals. Not all Siamese fighting fish respond negatively to other male fish, especially if not too many of them are present.       The Siamese fighting fish is a species in the gourami family which is popular as an aquarium fish. In January 2014 a large population of the fish was discovered in the Adelaide River Floodplain in the Northern Territory, Australia. usually grows to a length of about 6.5 cm (2.6 in). Although aquarium specimens are known for their brilliant colors and large, flowing fins, The natural coloration of B. splendens is a dull green, browns, and gray, and the fins of wild specimens are relatively short. Some people of Thailand and Malaysia are known to have collected these fish prior to the 19th century from the wild.In the wild, bettas spar for only a few minutes or before one fish backs off. Bred specifically for fighting, domesticated betta matches can go on for much longer, with winners determined by a willingness to continue fighting. Once one fish retreats, the match is over. Seeing the popularity of these fights, the king of Thailand started licensing and collecting these fighting fish.

Twinkle Stars

In a dark, clear, moonless night.We look up into the sky.We see thousands of stars arranged in patterns or constellations.The light from these stars has traveled great distances to reach Earth. But what are stars? How far away are they? Are they all the same? Are there other planets around them? When stars initially form from large balls of gas, they contract under the influence of gravity, and heat up because that gravitational energy goes into the motion of the gas.Stars get their heat from two sources - gravity, and nuclear fusion.Once they get hot enough, the hydrogen nuclei in the plasma in the center of the star start to occasionally merge to form helium, releasing a lot of energy from that nuclear fusion process. All this heating, from both sources, creates a pressure that causes the star to quit contracting at some point.

If the star is big enough to start with, the central temperature will be high enough to really keep that fusion going, and the heat gradually will seep out to the outside parts of the star, so the outer surface regions will also rise to quite high temperatures. We all know how important it is that our Sun gives us light! But, why does this happen? To understand, we need to look at the structure of stars.

What causes stars to shine?

Because stars are so massive, the density and pressure in the cores are extremely high! It is the temperature of the outer surface that determines the way the stars shine - our sun has an outer temperature of around 5000 degrees, but other stars can be as hot as 50,000 degrees, producing much bluer light, while red dwarf stars are considerably cooler and produce mostly red and infrared light. The process that causes stars to shine is the same one that we have harnessed for use as a weapon: nuclear fusion.Stars start as huge regions of gas, mostly hydrogen. This gas will start to contract, and it heats up. In fact, the Sun's core is so hot and has such high pressure that it undergoes nuclear fusion. Fusion is the combining to two lightweight elements into a heaver element. In our Sun, the core converts hydrogen into helium. This conversion of hydrogen into helium is the first reaction that happens in every star, it is called the main sequence. This reaction actually ends up with a surplus of energy according to the equation E=mc2. This is because the mass of the combing hydrogen is greater that the end product of helium. Therefore, the mass is converted to energy, and that energy is the electromagnetic radiation (light) that we get.

The Blue Grotto

The Blue Grotto is one of several sea caves, worldwide, that is flooded with a brilliant blue or emerald light. The quality and nature of the color in each cave is determined by the particular lighting conditions in that particular cave.  Sunlight, passing through an underwater cavity and shining through the seawater, creates a blue reflection that illuminates the cavern. The cave extends some 50 metres into the cliff at the surface, and is about 150 metres deep, with a sandy bottom. In part because of the dazzling effect of the light from the above-water opening, it is impossible for a visitor who is in one of the row-boats to identify the shape of the larger hole, the outline of the bar that separates the two holes, or even the nature of the light-source, other than a general awareness that the light is coming up from underneath, and that the water in the cave is more light-filled than the air. A visitor who places a hand in the water can see it "glow" eerily in this light.The Blue Grotto became a favoured tourist destination in the 1830s, after the visit of German writer August Kopisch and his friend Ernst Fries to the cave in 1826 and after the issuing of the book of Kopisch Entdeckung der blauen Grotte auf der Insel Capri in 1838. They were guided to the cave by a local fisherman Angelo Ferraro and during their visit they noticed the presence of Roman structures in the cave. Since then the Blue Grotto has become the emblem of the island of Capri. 

The Blue Grotto is located on the southern coast of Malta, west of Wied iz-Zurrieq facing the little deserted islet of Filfla. The site got its name from a British soldier who thought that since the area looks like the Grotta Azzurra in Capri, it deserves the same name, and in fact Blue Grotto is the equivalent for Grotta Azzurra in English. The site is extremely popular, attracting some 100,000 tourists per year, also for diving purposes.

Ro`Hit`

India's Rohit Sharma becomes the highest run-scorer in ODIs, getting 264 off 173 balls including 33 fours and 9 sixes against Sri Lanka(2014). Earlier he done the `Double Feet`Against Australia at Bangalore, In 2013. He scored 209. This was the consecutive third Indian batsman who scored double ton. First record was goes to the name of Sachin 200 vs South Africa at Gwalior, Feb 24, 2010. The second man in the ODI history Sehwag, he scored 219 (vs west indies On 8 December 2011 at Indore. Now Rohit Sharma become the highest individual ODI scorer with 264.With 33 fours, Rohit Sharma hit the largest number of fours in a single ODI, at the Eden Garderns, Kolkata. 

All the four doubles bagged by the Indian batsman. When Sachin scored 200, India won by 153 runs. Sehwag's 219 also resulted in a 153-run win. Guess what? Rohit's record-breaking 264 also gives India a 153-run victory.

One thing common factor between all these double tons is that they have been scored by Indian openers on home grounds. Most importantly, India have gone on to win the match on each occasion.

Previous Profile: Rohit Gurunath Sharma born 30 April 1987. Is an Indian international cricketer. Rohith Sharma was born in a Telugu family of Gurunath Sharma and Purnima Sharma who hailed from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh.Rohit speaks fluent Telugu language. He completed his primary education at Our Lady of Vailankanni High School Borivali, Mumbai, then enrolled in the Swami Vivekanand International School Borivalion a scholarship, after his talent was noticed by the school's cricket coach Dinesh Lad at a summer camp. He excelled in the Giles and Harris Shield school cricket tournaments, after which he was selected for the Mumbai Under-20. He was later chosen for India's Under-17 and Under-19 teams, and made his mark at the 2006 U-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka, finishing 11th on the ranking of top run-makers in the tournament.

Nik click

The King of the Wire nicknamed Nik Wallenda is a seventh-generation member of The Flying Wallendas family of aerialists. His ancestors, primarily of Austro-Hungarian descent, have been circus performers since the 1700s and have been doing balancing acts without nets since Karl Wallenda made the family famous for the feat in the 1920s. Nik Wallenda participated in various circus acts as a child. At age 13.He was Born January 24, 1979 (age 35) Sarasota, Florida, U.S. Known for High-wire act without a net.

In 2008, Wallenda set Guinness World Records for longest and highest bicycle ride on a high-wire 250-foot-long (76 m) ride at 135 feet (41 m) above the ground in New Jersey. He nearly doubled the height record in 2010 to 260 feet (79 m). On the same day in 2010, he upped his personal best by tightrope walking over 2,000 feet (610 m) in a single performance. In 2011, Wallenda set a world record by performing on the Wheel of Death atop the 23 story Tropicana Casino and Resort. Later that year, Wallenda and his mother tightrope walked between the two towers of Condado Plaza Hotel in Puerto Rico. The feat was a re-creation of the one that had killed Karl Wallenda, Nik's great-grandfather and primary source of inspiration. On June 10, 2011, Wallenda hung from a helicopter 250 feet (76 m) off the ground using only his teeth to hold on. After a two-year legal battle involving both sides of the Canada–United States border to gain approval, Wallenda crossed Niagara Falls on June 15, 2012 on a live ABC special. On June 23, 2013, he became the first person to high-wire walk across a Grand Canyon area gorge (crossing the Little Colorado River outside Grand Canyon National Park), the feat airing live on Discovery . The followed that up with Skyscraper Live, a live Discovery special which aired on November 2, 2014. In the special, Wallenda completed the two tightrope walks, setting two new Guinness world records: one for walking the steepest tightrope incline between two buildings and the other for the highest tightrope walk while blindfolded. Wallenda at Skyscraper Live press conference in Chicago November 2, 2014.

Lions run away

Lions run away from these people. They are not hunters..just Robbers. Their name Maasai..`The warriors`  of the forest. Recently a film crew from the BBC has succeeded to film the stealing of meat by them from a group of lions feeding on an African buffalo in Kenya. The short film shows the maasai warriors walking shoulder by shoulder towards the feeding lions and scaring them away from their prey and subsequently taking the meat. CML has a joint project on lion livestock conflicts in Amboseli national parks since 2007 with Kenya Widlife Service and the Leo foundation.

Researchers from the Institute of Environmental Sciences found in 2008 that people were stealing meat from lions in Benoue national Park, Cameroon. They published one of the first scientific accounts of this phenomenon in the African Journal of Ecology in 2009. At the time it was concluded that the stealing of meat from lions is much more common in Africa than believed and has been part of a strategy of ancient man to obtain animal protein already thousands of years ago.The few scientific publications on this topic show how difficult it is to find evidence. The crew of BBC has succeeded to capture it.

Raj Mohan Nair

Caution: All of our audience are requested to not to try this because your Life is very precious. This kind of things happen rarely and not everyone can do this. Raj Mohan's body has a high resistance power which, no normal human posses. So please don't try this at home, 'cause your Life is valueble'. 

Thousands of people around the world die because of electric accidents.A tenth of an amp is enough to kill an ordinary human being, but Raj Mohan Nair is anything but ordinary. This human conductor is able to withstand several amps of electricity passing through his body without suffering any bodily harm.

Electricity Mohan or Electro-Man, as Raj has come to be known all around the world has an amazing super-power. There’s nothing super-human about his looks, but connected to an electrical power source, Raj Mohan Nair can do extraordinary things. He doesn’t shoot lightning bolts from his hands or anything, but he can power up a light bulb or an electric blender by grabbing two live wires and allowing massive amounts of current to pass through his body. He might not seem like a superhero worthy of his own comic book, but it’s a lot more than the rest of us mortals can withstand. If these wires touched any other human’s body, the electricity would cause their organs to fail and stop their heart, but not Mohan’s. With one wire in his mouth for better conductivity and the other anywhere else on his body, Mohan lets the electrical current run through him and into whatever other device he’s trying to power on.

Raj Mohan Nair, an Indian (kerala, kollam) super human, has the ability to conduct high voltage of electric power from his body without any harm to his body. Normally, a fraction of one ampere could kill an average man, but Raj Mohan can conduct 10 ampere of current through his body.

Proved First Time: His body is said to be ten times more resistant to electricity than normal human being's body. There is a story behind how he found out this super power inside him. When his mom died, Raj Mohan broke down and decided to die. So he went to hold a high tension wire of an active transformer. On holding the live wire, nothing happened in real! He himself was shocked by this incident and came to know about his resistance power.

He wraps exposed wires around his body, and electricity flows from main plug, through his body, to electric bulbs, iron plates, mixer grinders etc, but he suffer no electric shock.

What will happen if a tenth of an amp is passed through a human’s body? He might be electrocuted to death but it does not hold true in Kerala kollam's Raj Mohan Nair’s case.

This super-human has nothing special about his looks, but if you witness him lighting electric bulbs, fans or blenders by allowing electricity to pass via his own body, you would be left surprised.

Not just that, the Current Mohan can also prepare a chicken by grabbing a hot-plate in his own hands and pass the electricity through his body.

It was A Gift: When asked about his ‘super gift’, Mohan said, that he came to know about his amazing capability when he was 7 years old.

`I lost my mother and was depressed. Finally, I decided to end my life by climbing the transformer and grabbing a live wire. To my amazement, nothing happened to me. It was then I realized that I had been blessed with a gift from God,` he said.

Well, News Nation continues to hope that Raj Mohan Nair will amaze the world with his special abilities and make India proud of the ‘Electric Man’.

Every one possibly die of electrocution if we fumble with electric current. And that will happen within microseconds as the voltage passes through our body. But this is not the case with Raj Mohan Nair of India. He is a man with weird gift of surviving electrocution, or simply put 'not getting shocked' when he touches naked electricity. He in fact can survive 30 times over the normal amount of electric current that will instantly kill an ordinary man. Raj Mohan's case is that he possesses a super human ability, a rare gift that many people do not have. 

Of course he cannot generate electricity to power a house directly from his body because he doesn't have that power, but unlike us who get electrocuted and die from electric shock, when electricity passes through him, he conducts well and lives. That is a lot more than what the normal human can do, and the reason why he's known to be a super-human in all corners of the world where his story has been documented.

He simply connects one end of the wire to his tongue for proper conductivity and another end to a power source. The other end goes to whatever device he intends to power on from his body and it happens. He can even power on a blender!

 Till date Raj still lives and amazes people with his ability to conduct electricity strong enough to power a whole building. Believe it or not Raj is immune to electricity. This is indeed weird and bizarre!

Scientists explanation:

Prominent British scientists, Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking, who not strictly sticking to their own areas of science, indulge in God-bashing and the ridiculing of religions and people who follow religions. Will they explain the Mohan phenomenon? There are many things on heaven and earth than are ever part of their sciences or any sciences!

zoo safari in chile

Safari zoo in Rancangua in central Chile, where vehicles takes visitors on a drive through a 5-acre enclosure that is home to six lions. The Parque safari Zoo something special and thrilling one. Where Humans are in Cages and Lions are On Top. Visitors ride inside a cage on the back of the truck. Then it's up to the lions to decide what they want to do: climb on the vehicle to eat the meat and look at the cowering humans below, or just lie down for a rest. The zoo  gives thrill seekers a chance to tickle a lion's belly or touch its deadly claws with their hands from the safety of a cage mounted on a safari truck. Hunks of raw meat are thrown onto the top of the cage.

Visitors who are feeling brave can stick their fingers through the bars to stroke or prod the big cats.

The idea is for people to see wildlife in their natural habitat, in effect with the people caged up rather than the animals themselves.

The zoo located at Rancagua, Sexta Región del General Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins in Chile.

Timinings: 10:00 am – 6:30 pm.

These activities have become the hallmark of Rancagua Safari Park which has 120 animals in 70 species that roam 8 hectares in total freedom, but always controlled, especially cats. 

Visits to the fascinating and extreme "Lions Safari" includes a trip aboard an extreme jeep, protected and reinforced gates for your safety. These vehicles have a capacity of 8-10 people each. 

In this area you will find 6 lions in total freedom, but constantly monitored. The lion safari will expand in the future on a game of cats, for which it is expected to add to the path a pair of white lions and a tiger. 

This tour has a duration of approximately 20 minutes in which we can shoot and see at a distance close to the Kings of the Jungle. 

The visit to the fascinating and beautiful world of the Serengeti offers a tour of the area "contact", where children can feed, touch and closely know a variety of 60 herbivores such as giraffes, zebras, llamas, alpacas, emus, mountain sheep, deer, ostriches, ponies, donkeys, etc. 

All this will be on board the "Serengeti Train" that is designed for our comfort and greater interaction with herbivores. In this kind of safari train enters an area of ​​more than three hectares where these species. 

As the vehicle carrying trays on both sides with alfalfa animals come to eat. It is an opportunity for children to give them food. 

This tour includes a period of approximately 20 to 25 minutes., At which time we can share with these beautiful animals. The zoo has programs with special rates for birthday child entities.
