Fastest bird swift

we have seen them flying at about 9000 feet. If they need to they can fly twice that high. It is reported to reach a top speed of 169km/hour. The needle-tailed swift or spine-tailed swift is commonly reported as the fastest bird in level flight. There's still an awful lot that we don't know about them, making them a real Mystery Bird. They feed, drink, mate and sleep on the wing, and only land to breed. So a young Swift will spend its first two or three years in constant flight before it nests. Because they never land on the ground, and are so fast and so totally aerial. Swifts are amazing, beautiful birds. Supreme aerialists, they spend almost all their life in the air, a lot of that at low level, feeding on airborne insects.

It is deepest hotel in the world. The Sala Silvermine hotel locted at Scandinavia, in Sweden, in the county of Vastmanland and in the town of Sala. Hitting rock bottom on vacation can be a very cool experience. For it is there that travelers can find the Sala Silvermine and can stay in the accommodations of its Mine Suite. At 155 meters (509 feet) below ground level. As early as the 1400s and as late as 1962, miners excavated silver, lead and zinc from beneath the ground here. The town of Sala was ordered built on its current site by King Gustavus Adolphus in 1624 and all the infrastructure around it.

Octo-Boy


Eight limbed Deepak Kumar Paswaan, (nicknamed octo-boy), in Buxar village in the east Indian state of Bihar was born with a rare condition called Parasitic Twin. A parasitic twin (also known as an asymmetrical or unequal conjoined twin) is the result of the processes that produce vanishing twins and conjoined twins, and may represent a continuum between the two. He had the arms and legs of an undeveloped twin growing out of his chest. The parasitic twin stopped developing in the womb leaving Deepak with arms, legs and buttocks protruding from his chest. It is clear that the parasitic twin shares Deepak’s blood supply. Dr. Manny Alvarez, managing editor of health at FoxNews.com and Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey said that surgery would be extremely complicated, if not impossible due to the large amount of vascular structures that would need repairing. Deepak was exposed to the people in their village, he was being related or linked to and 8 limbed God in India. Some people have worshipped him for a while and the others attacked and hated him for they believed that He brings bad luck to the community people. The way Deepak treated was so heartbreaking, and because of this He had developed low self-esteem and suffered his whole life running and hiding. But in June 2010 top doctors at the Fortis Hospital Bangalore agreed to operate on Deepak's parasitic twin for free, saving his impoverished family the £50,000 it would have cost otherwise. He was scheduled for a surgery that lasted 4-hour operation at Fortis Hospital and with the help of sophisticated equipments and health professionals the procedure to separate Deepak Kumar Paswaan from his twin was a success. He is now living a normal and happy life.

Elephant seals

Elephant seals are large, oceangoing earless seals in the genus Mirounga. The two species, the northern elephant seal and the southern elephant seal. The northern elephant seal, somewhat smaller than its southern relative, ranges over the Pacific coast of the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The southern elephant seal is found in the Southern Hemisphere on islands such as South Georgia and Macquarie Island, and on the coasts of New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina in the Peninsula Valdes, which is the fourth-largest elephant seal colony in the world. These animals are colossally large in comparison with other pinnipeds, with southern elephant seal bulls typically reaching a length of 16 ft (4.9 m) and a weight of 3,000 kg, and are much larger than the cows, with some exceptionally large males reaching up to 20 ft (6.1 m) in length and tipping the scales at 4,000 kg; cows typically measure about 10 ft (3.0 m) and 910 kg. Northern elephant seal bulls reach a length of 14 to 16 ft (4.3 to 4.9 m) and the heaviest weigh about 2455 kg. Elephant seals spend upwards of 80% of their lives in the ocean. They can hold their breath for more than 100 minutes. Elephant seals dive to 1,550 m beneath the ocean's surface. Elephant seals have a very large volume of blood, allowing them to hold a large amount of oxygen for use when diving. They have large sinuses in their abdomens to hold blood and can also store oxygen in their muscles with increased myoglobin concentrations in muscle. In addition, they have a larger proportion of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. These adaptations allow elephant seals to dive to such depths and remain underwater for up to two hours. While excellent swimmers, they are also capable of rapid movement on land. As they search for their favorite foods, which are skates, rays, squid, octopuses, eels, small sharks and large fish.

Guided smart rifle


The smart rifle is packed with sensors and it own computer to control the firing process. TrackingPoint’s rifle increases the pull strength of the trigger until the the the target is aligned. In this way, the shooter is more likely to hit their target and accidental firings can be largely avoided. The Smart Rifle tags targets within a 500-1200 yard range and automatically shoots them - even if they're moving as fast as 10 miles per hour. so, there is no need for sharpshooters. The self-aiming semi-automatic rifle does all the heavy lifting. The high-tech sight then takes into account humidity, wind and the typical ballistic drop you'd expect from a bullet fired over such a distance. It uses a built in computer to aim at a target, and can even 'lock on' top targets and automatically track them. Once the target has been selected, the scope provides cross-hairs which have to be lined up with the pin that is dropped on the target. The system includes a Linux-powered computer in the scope with sensors that collect imagery and ballistic data. TTX system – which tracks Range, drop, magnus effect, spindrift, coriolis effect, direction, cant, inclination, pressure, temperature, humidity, muzzle velocity, barrel length and twist, lock time, ballistic coefficient, and drag coefficient, according to DigitalTrends. To ensure accuracy, the shooter can not even squeeze the trigger unless the cross-hairs and pin are alined. To shoot at something, First 'mark' it using a button near the trigger. Marking a target illuminates it with the tracking scope's built-in laser, and the target gains a red pip in the scope's display. The shooter is more likely to hit their target and accidental firings can be largely avoided. The makers of the rifle also claim that the gun is safer than a standard bolt action rifle. The U.S. military has begun testing several so-called smart rifles made by TrackingPoint.
